The only reason to shop here is cause it's cheap and even that isn't always the case. The food is low quality, the store is dirty, and the staff is incredibly rude. I was kicked out for using a canvas shopping bag and was yelled at to leave, I've shopped there for years without any issue but after that horrendous experience I will never shop here again if you like being treated like garbage then this is the store for you.

Produce sucks either way over ripe or under. Potatos and onions almost always soft. Tomatoes green. Expired cans by a year sometimes. Steak tough threw away. Dont buy meat there. Have to take 2 buses to a safeway cuz they suck and are a block away. Cater to every ethnicity but white people

"Now open 24 hours!" COMPLETE LIE!They close at 1:45am and open at 5:00ish. I drove 20 minutes all the way here because it was the only place open. But when I arrived they where closed...

Love this store! An earlier review was complaining about, well, seemed like EVERYTHING ! What this person doesn't understand is, while there's no ex for moldy bread or other products, SAARS is meant to be an Ultra affordable, no coupon needed, customer-aware grocer. Its got a large variety śof ethnic offerings that you won't find anywhere else-- it's like they combined a RedApple, a Walgreens, and a dollar store, focused on pricing, consumer wants, and convenience (which just lost a point for changing hours). It's SUPER, SUPER unfortunate that it recently stopped being open 24 hours--that was the ribbon winner---, but that , and the limited amount of employees available for customers, are part of how they can offer such low prices. You'll still find a weekly add in your mailbox, but you won't be needing to bring any coupons in, but you SHOULD leave a little extra time for you to really explore the entire place!

Moldy products, spoiled meats, expired products, minimal customer service, and the list goes on. I purchased Donne' Dinache Hot Crab Paste with a best by date: 10/2022. UPC: 7 16715 44510 3. Today is Monday, November. 8th, 2021 at approximately 2130 hrs, I opened the lid to the crab paste and discovered white mold growing on the product. And is it common for Saars not to assist customers bagging their groceries? I had to bag EVERYTHING myself. If this continues, bring in those self checkout machines, you'll do us all a favor.

I like this store. The deals on produce are fantastic, even without the great coupons. The meat and seafood deals are unbelievable, although a lot of the most insane deals require buying 5-10 lbs at once and I don't have a spare freezer or other people living with me right now, so I can't justify buying the 10-lb package. I really love the fried chicken counter in the back and they have an even better deal on Thursdays. It smells so good I can catch it from the bus stop across the street from the rear of the store and if I don't get any, I'm just mad at myself while I'm waiting for the bus. They always have delicious stuff from the local Latino bakery. They have a good collection of international dairy and dry goods, from Asian breads and sauces to quesos to Eastern European smoked meats and fish. Also, they have packaged deli goods at a fair price. I also get a lot of my $1 spices here, because they have the entire collection of those $1 spice brand options. They have all the flavors of Milka bars. I mean, they really have everything and they have the best prices on it. Makes me feel good to leave with a full cart of groceries for $40.

I went to Saars Friday evening and found items well stocked and prices good so 2stars for that. The checkout process however can use improvement - minus three stars. Before grocery shopping here, I usually make a list and print the list off the store website so I am organized and know exactly what I want. First, I handed this list to the cashier as I usually do because Saars website automatically prints the coupon codes for any items that have a discount and it's easier than cutting out coupons but the cashier acted like she had no idea what the list was for or how to use it. Instead of entering the codes as other cashier's have done in the past, she kept opening the large weekly ad to reference saying she knows nothing about the website or how to use the list which took much more time than needed. Second, the girl that was supposedly bagging groceries decided to leave her post instead of help bag my groceries. I bagged all 70lbs of meat and vegetables myself with no one to help while a line behind me formed. Their cashier's should be better trained on how to enter coupon codes, told about their website and given lessons on customer service, like help customers put groceries in bags instead of stand and chit chat amongst themselves. That part was really annoying as well especially when they were so busy chit chatting instead of helping bag groceries or working the cash register faster. I don't need to hear about what school you go to or what your plans are. I just want to buy groceries and get out.

Okay, so the best thing about this particular Saars is their chicken! Their friend chicken is AMAZING! They're consistently crispy and well seasoned. Best time to buy chicken is when Luse is working the deli. Another thing to note is that the deli here has had a health inspection rating of Excellent :) which is very impressive. Most grocery deli's are not ranked very high. There's plenty of parking despite this being a very busy store. Service is typical of any major grocery store. They've got a great variety of ethnic food and they even sell Halal meat. They certainly cater to the demographics of its location which is probably why it's frequented often by Tukwila locals.

I love the prices on canned goods, meat, and some dairy. They have delicious fried chicken! Last two times I have been in here the cashiers have been gossiping about coworkers. One person that was stocking items by the register actually asked a customer by me with one item to allow her to set some canned goods on the conveyor belt because it was easier for her. Last thing I experience in the store when shopping is the cashiers yuck! I would give one more star if it weren't for terrible customer service.

I cane to buy my groceries and was told at the door by a security guy that by store policy people need to leave their bags at the door lol I have all my values in there. He was very rude as I was trying to explain to him the reason why I didn't want to leave my bag at the door he didn't seem to care. Great customer service

I am amazed at the low ratings given their frequent excellent prices for produce and fish. How many places can you buy wild fish for less than $2 a pound, or lettuce for $0.38 a pound. While the produce quality isn't as consistently high as Fred Meyers, neither are their prices. And for the friendliness of checkers. Who cares?

Sometimes decent produce. Sketchy meat and seafood. Overall Dirty, bad lighting, all the carts are broken. Slack jawed and unfriendly checkers. They only have plastic bags, no paper options. Ice cream isn't worth buying; it's been melted. Their banners proclaiming rock bottom prices are a load of BS
