Uwajimaya is a fantastic family-owned Asian and Japanese grocery store, local to the Pacific Northwest.It’s easy to see from the road and has plenty of parking.As their only location in Oregon, their Beaverton shop is a great place to find a wonderful variety of fresh produce, seafood, and meats.The excellent customer service is a testament to the fact that it has been family owned since 1928!

Such great selections of everything.I wanted to try so many things. Clean store nice staff.

An amazingly well stocked asian super market. You name it and youll find it here. Some of the popular Indian fish as well as some basic ingredients are also available. But primarily if you are someone whos watched all those asian cooking shows and instagramers going wild with ingredients then this is the place to go to. Find almost every asian food and ingredient here

The quintessential Asian Market with an exceptional selection of goods from Japan, you can find many things here that just aren’t on the shelves of the other Asian markets in town.From the exceptional selection of Painted Hills Beef to Carlton Farms Pork to the grab and go section that will satisfy your hunger for a myriad of tasty treats.I adore the produce section as well as the home goods.The secret to so many of my home made culinary delights is found at Uwajimaya

What a fun store! Prices are a little high for fresh. The book store was so amazing and so worth it! If you are a manga fan or studio ghibli fan you will love this store! I was in heaven. Lots of art supplies and cool Japanese art instruction books

Great selections and wonderful folks.

Great selection of all types of Asian foods, drinks, dish wear, beauty products and more. Especially love the bookstore, ready made food, and the beard papa that are within the store!

This is an Asian grocery store so all you can think of, they have it. Their prices are on the higher end but fresh meat and groceries.

Ive been coming to Uwajimaya since I was about probably 10 years old. I go every now and then and their products are so nice to be able to get compared to the regular grocery store. Ill be going here as long as possible due to their great selection and yummy deli foods they make. Great Japanese selection with a Hawaiian section as well. They have pretty much everything in terms of food and condiments, bakery, seafood counter etc.

Uwajimaya is a fantastic grocery store for all your Japanese food and product needs. They also sell other Asian food products as well. Highky recommend you try the ramen place next store, its amazing!

I love this store, it has a little bit of everything interns of Japanese products. And the ramen store connected to it is great as well

Our favorite place to stop when we visit Portland area.

A great spot for anyone missing the comforts of home or a once home. Great variety in all departments. I was even able to get Okinawan purple potato. Only downside is this shop is hopping with people all day long.

I like going shopping at Uwajimaya, they have unique and cute Japanese items and good quality food products

A little pricier than other Asian markets but worth it I think. The produce and meat are fresh and of quality. Everyone is nice. They have a big selection of different types of Asian food. They have a Japanese book store inside. They have fresh oysters. I wish the premade food was a little better (especially the sushi rolls) but overall my favorite Asian market in the area.

The coolest Japanese grocery/peripherals store Ive been to in PDX so far

The best selection of Kim chee and variety of rice. Love the bento box too.

Such a great place, both for everyday items and for a fun shopping spree! The hot grab-and-go food items are delicious, they have a huge selection of fresh produce, snacks, teas, kitchen goods, books, and more. I highly recommend checking it out.

Amazing variety of delicious Asian foods, cooked and raw. Great delicious and fish area 😋

Pricey but great selection of imported Japanese and other Asian goods. Especially love the beauty section and the snacks and drinks. The hot food is good too but the pre-made lunch packs could be better.

Great store! Produce, meat, & seafood that you cant anywhere else. Such a huge selection of soy sauces. They used to get the fresh flat rice noodles but I havent seen them there for a while now.

I have been going to Uwajimaya for over 15 years. I love this store. My mom even asks for directions when she comes to town. They have great fish and a HUGE selection of asian groceries.

Always an experience, if it was closer Id be there alot more. They always have what we go for.

Excellent place for all your Asian food needs.

Been a fan of this store for years. Its fun to go get things uncommon to my city and see what new things they might have in the bookstore. Every employee Ive spoken to has been kind and helpful. It is both a blessing and a curse thats its about an hour away, i usually spend more than planned!

One of my favorite Asian markets! Everything is always clean, the employees are friendly, and the layout is easy to navigate. Additionally, the bookstore inside the market and the restaurant attached to it are both phenomenal. Highly recommend checking them out

Best place to grab some fresh Filipino bread!

Pretty good place but the entrance is a bit crowded. The stuff here is fairly priced and I like how they also have a bookstore. The food at the deli was delicious but the katsu in the katsu bowl looked dry. A pretty great place for getting Japanese items, would recommend!

Literally my favorite Asian market in all of Oregon. Coming here is so exciting especially since I dont live in Beaverton and its hard to get the supplies I need. The bookstore is a giant added bonus.

Super great. Went here regularly when I lived in the area and make sure to visit every time Im in town. Theyve got a great selection of everything and their bakery and hot foods section is incredible. Plus, pricing is very fair and pretty cheap for most things.

Great place with a wide selection of foods including sushi grade fish, exotic fruits, vegetables and mushrooms and many other Japanese foods. They also have a kitchen that prepares ready to eat options daily both hot or cold.

I cannot live without you. I also cannot live without your deli. Please re-open deli.Amazing selection of Japanese food, etc. Pricey, but beats driving to Japan. Even has Japanese grocery store vibe.

Always love when I can make it to Uwajimaya. You can get sashimi grade fish or fresh oysters for an affordable price. Really great store!

A really solid grocery store with a very prevalent asian influence! I recognized lots of brands and foods that I would typically see in China, Japan, The Philippines and South Korea! The aisles are easy to navigate and they have a great selection of premade fruits, and a very large fresh produce section!! 10/10

All kinds of varieties of food from different cultures. Almost feels like being back home in Hawaii with seeing Asian/Hawaiian local food on the shelves. The most spam musubi Ive seen in any deli departments. They were even making them fresh too!

Great place for Japanese food and treats. It has a store for manga inside as well. Great selection of candy and treats from Japan as well as beauty products

Amazing collection of so many different kinds of foods I live the place but I gave four stars due to them asking me for a bag and I said yeah then went to pay. And the lady didnt see I used food stamps for my few food items and the remaining balance was 25 cents .... For one bag Im all for paying the 5 cents like normal but thats crazy. if she would have told me it cost that much I would have said no thank ebt covers the bags but even still. Thats alot

Wide variety of quality japanese products and foods. Many gluten free items available as well. Good quality fish for sushi. Take away sushi and sashimi bowls are fresh and excellent.

Theres so much to love about this place. Last time I swung by I was thrilled to see they had vegetable starts for sale (mid May). And the bookstore in the back is always fun to browse. They have a great selection of Asian produce, as well as a Beard Papas! Definitely on my list of top Asian Markets in the area.

One word -selection. While I was sad to see not that many vegan friendly options in the ready to eat areas, the variety of choices everywhere else made up for it. I even found dairy free mochi ice cream and in many flavor options too! Some of the produce seems a bit higher priced than Id expect -like the five dollar inoki mushrooms for the same amount Ive paid $1-2 for- but Im also new to Portland so this might be fair for the area. All in all, this will definitely be a frequent stop for me!

I love the variety. Some items are priced higher here than at other area grocery stores. I try to be careful,especially with national brands. A jar of butter chicken sauce is $3 more here & a bottle of soy sauce is $2 more,for example. I try to only buy the items unique to Uwajimaya.

Love this place! I have been coming here for years. Always have fresh produce and meats. Lots of fun stuff in the store too.

Got the cutest Shiba Inu napping pillow here recently. A gift to myself =)

A gem hidden away in Beaverton. Great selection of Asian cuisine. Nice Manga bookstore.

The Oregon Zoo is a gem for Portland. We love the way they treat their animals, especially their elephants and primates. Animals have plenty of room and are treated with great compassion. Its one of the best zoos in the US by far.

This place has wonderful variety, though they are either severely lacking in glutenfree products, or they just dont label products as glutenfree over the price labels. Only one motorized accessibility cart, and some difficulty navigating it around narrow aisles and displays. Very cute store brand shopping totes available for purchase. Though a bit rough on those with disabilities and food allergies, the place is worth shopping at or at least visiting to check it out!

Great variety of items and friendly staff.

Our favorite store to get Hawaiian/Islander and Asian products. They have a lot of items unavailable most other stores which is great. They have pretty fair prices and kind staff.

I always have a great experience here. The groceries are great and the bookstore is fun. If you need a well rounded Asian market, this is the place.

Super friendly staff and fun selection of food, cooking utensils, housewares etc! I went in needing perilla leaves with no idea what those are, and an employee helped me figure out what I was looking for was shiso leaves. The store was very crowded and busy but the friendliness of the staff put my nerves at ease and made the experience overall enjoyable!

Love this store 😍 my favorite. Tastes of Hawaii 😋

Best market around! Really enjoyed the selection. Loved the hot deli food too 😋 yum

Great place to shop for Japanese staples but the shelves have been a little bare the last couple times I have been.

Has a lot of great produce and product options. Bit disappointed in the premise sushi & poke options. When I tried it at home the quality was meh. The rice was quite dry..

Since Im from Kauai loved tosee n buy the items they had. Found Ginger flavored cookies.

I was looking for an Asian market that had more Japanese items. Love this place!!! I needed Japanese soy sauce, white soy sauce. They had a great variety. It was a bit of a drive but totally worth it. I will be back.

Great selection of Japanese items, far beyond many other Asian markets Ive visited previously. This place is ALWAYS packed.

Wonderful place! Had everything we needed for sushi making, at incredible prices. Weve gone back twice during our 2 week stay for odds and ends. 100% would recommend.

Excellent selection and products! Love shopping here. The deli food and fresh Poke are always a staple.

Always like shopping here. Lots of unique stuff you wont find in most grocery stores and the prices arent too bad. The employees are also usually quite nice and helpful. Almost always stop by here and pick up a few things whenever passing by the area.

Best asian store! Everything is clean and fresh! I love to shop here. Feels like Japan!

Very diverse amount of food from around Asia, when it use to be mostly Japanese focused. This location is often very busy.

This is a favorite since i LOVE MY SUSHI and you can use food stamps, I really like shopping here also

Amazing Asian store and my go to when I need Asian ingredients!

The Musubis are the beet in Portland. A great place to pick up both Japanese groceries and cooked Japanese dishes. The place to come to if you want great sushi and need to find the ingredients to make it at home. Make sure to check out the Kinokuniya bookstore inside as well.

An excellent source for Asian ingredients. Some items were a bit pricey, but the plentiful parking and convenience of it all makes it a one-stop shop.Safe social distancing and good mask enforcement too.

I have always loved this place. A great selection of foods, fair prices and friendly staff. No nutters screaming about having to wear a mask. Very safe.

This is my absolute Favorite grocery store in Oregon! Ive been shopping here for over almost 20 years and I have some fantastic & nostalgic memories from over the years. They have seasonal events that are held here like the Sakura (cherry blossom) Festival as well as martial arts events. They even recently had their 1st mini outdoor anime convention! 😁👍They are mainly a Japanese supermarket, although they have other ethnic foods from Asia too. Inside there is the hidden gem which is the Kinokuniya bookstore - I could literally spend hours of time and hundreds of dollars here..!! 😂 Everything from Manga, artbooks, origami guides, fashion mags to a wide selection of pens and collectable toys/models! 💚Thankful this store continues to bring us great things from the Land of the Rising Sun! 🇯🇵

Great selection of various Asian foods that are otherwise hard to find in American grocery stores! A fun place to shop.

This place does have a quite very large selection of various merchandise for an individual to be able to come in and look at. Theres also restrooms available at this store available for use.Of course, with that being stated, I am concerned about the policy of zero cash. As this does prevent some of being able to purchase merchandise.

Excellent Asian food selection, but more not all Japanese... you can find some Chinese stuff as well. Very good parking lot, never have to wait for a spot. I love the oysters when its season. They also have Chinese BBQ if you are looking for some. Good selection on Japanese beers and rice wine too. I see good sashimi selection but havent tried. Dry food selection is excellent too. I come once in a while along with several other Asian markets depending on what I am looking for. Which mean it is not a one stop shop...

Still the best Asian grocery store that I know of.

Excellent selection of asian groceries, fresh seafood, meats and fresh made asian dishes. Very popular place each visit I make.

Always have good food and Asian foods.My family has been going there for years

The ramen here is so good!! Try the Spicy Umami its awesome!

Very good overall. Prepared food is if good quality. Fresh frozen fish for sashimi. Good quality overall but a bit pricey thought.

Great shop and informative employees definitely will be making more trips back!

This is the Uwajimaya I typically go to. Its a lot smaller than the one up in Seattle, but in turn is less busy and a lot more friendly. You can find all kind of cool imported food and drink as well as kawaii kitchenware and art supplies. There are also some pretty good restaurants attached to the store that I frequent with friends and family. Ive always been able to come here to buy Hawaiian Sun canned fruit juices that remind me of my time spent living in Hawaii with my father.

I loved this store! Having lived overseas (including Japan, the Philippines, India, Thailand etc.), its always hard to find foods that I grew to love. Uwajimaya has tons of variety, everything from Japanese face wash to live crabs! I highly recommend this store!

Food used to be really good here, but not anymore. Beef Katsu was two big chunk of rice with a tiny thin slice of beef. Orange chicken bowl seemed to have half of the bowl filled with the chickens, but when we start eating, underneath the top layer of orange chicken it was all rice, it was 4-5 small pieces of chicken in a big bowl of rice. Too much carb.

Not much stock when I came here. I understand due to current situation. But I would come back when I am in the area.

Their hot food deli used to be amazing. Either theyre trying to save money or just being greedy but its gone downhill this last year. Smaller portions, seemingly poorer quality, fewer hot food options. Not only the hot food part but even the cold food is lacking. I hope they return it to what it once was.This is just about the deli, the rest of the store is great. Ive just been going there for almost 15 years and have noticed a decline in the deli.

I love coming here and buy news things .

I went here with a friend that suggested we go here to do a little grocery shopping. They have a huge selection of Japanese food and goods here. They also had competitive prices on some of the things my normal grocery store stocked. I was also impressed by the book store and ramen shop here as well. The place was clean and the staff efficient and friendly. If you like Japanese food and books you should stop by Uwajimaya.

Great market with a good selection. The deli food is also another thing to come for. The saka selection has a lot of options.

Great store if your looking to buy manga or get your hands on Asian treats or foods. Love this store

Prices where reasonable . Selection is as good as say h-mart but they are smaller so makes since. Add everything I needed and they was taking precautions with covidmetering people going in and wiping down surface allot. If your here get some quick grab food as its made fresh and go to beard papa in the bakery area and get a fresh pastry stuffed with cream .

Great selection of everything you need for the perfect homemade ramen night.

This place is my favorite! The check out and entrance area can be hectic but the people there are great and so is the selection of food. They have a hot food/bakery section so if youre looking for a fresh variety of sushi or musibi or poke bowls they are a great place to turn too. Hope that helps(:

Great deli and bakery. Asian food selection is very good

This is definitely a higher quality Asian market. I would say it ranks above H Mart, hands down.The products are overwhelmingly Japanese, which is fun. They do a good job balancing grocery, household, and entertainment.Plus, awesome ramen right next door.

Closes too early. Packed at 8 pm? Time to extend your hours. Delicious musubi, pocky, sushi etc.

Uwajimaya has been the stand-out Asian grocery store in the Portland metro area for as long as I can remember. While Fubonn (Chinese), Hong Phat (Vietnamese), H-Mart (Korean) and others stock many of the same products, there are significant, notable differences in quality, as well as vast deficiencies of variety. Whether this is due to a difference of culture, or one of philosophy, is a matter for debate. But as a perennial patron of all of these businesses, Ive begun to notice a few stark contrasts.Many of these sister stores inhabit the shells of former business, and never quite fill them out. They feel...not exactly dirtier...perhaps less pristine is a more accurate (and less harsh) descriptor. Not all the differences are immediately apparent; they only become visible via contrast and experience. Additionally, while Uwajimaya carries products that appeal to the broader Asian cultural and culinary oeuvre, these other stores do not seem to reciprocate when it comes to Japanese foodstuffs. This is the meat of my beef with other Asian stores in Portland.Speaking of meat and beef, one department where Uwajimaya truly establishes its excellence is its meat department. There are cuts of meat here that simply cannot be found at other Asian groceries (believe me, I have looked). One pertinent example: thinly sliced beef, ready for a shabu-shabu, sukiyaki or gyu donburi, come in small (single portion) to family-sized packs, and although expensive, their quality is unparalleled, and (sadly) found only at Uwajimaya. And what chef, gourmand or foodie would dare argue that Wagyu, Kobe or Mishima beef are inferior cuts of meat? Thats right, none.Another stand-out section (one more among many) would be Uwajimayas selection of candies, cookies and other sweets. One need only count the myriad variety of Kit-Kat flavors on offer here, to realize that Uwajimaya revels in the Japanese cultural philosophy of monozukuri, or constanty seeking perfection. This same philosophy of excellence can be observed in many other departments: the hot and cold deli, healthcare and beauty products, hell, even the dishware on sale consists of a significantly higher percentage of porcelain ceramics than cheap, mass produced plastic plates and bowls. These same departments at other Asian stores are pale imitators with inferior products.I wont touch on the Kinokuniya book store, which continues this trend of excellence, because it is a separate business, despite inhabiting an internal corner of the same retail space. My only gripe against them would be that their prices are rather steep, but that comes with the territory of importing highly specialized products to a niche market.I would give Uwajimaya 10 stars if I could, but I will dock them half because they are a 30 minute drive from my house. They will have to settle with a perfect 5 stars instead.Now, if youll excuse me, I have a gyu donburi waiting for me, and I dont want it to get cold.

Love this place. I like to grab drinks and snacks to enjoy during the week. Theyre usually busy so be prepared for a wait to check out. If youre looking for food the deli is pretty good too. Overall a fun place to go if youre sick of regular grocery store offerings.

Uajimaya always has what we need for our familys Japanese meals. My daughter and I cant go without stopping for the two essentials every time: something from the candy aisle, and a hum bow.

I hadnt been in here years since moving to the coast. While the store is definitely less decorated up now, you can still find the same things as before. I stocked up on nearly $100 of food lol. I cant tell you how great it is to have Asian food in my house again. I sure miss that beautiful sashimi selection you have! I honestly cant say anything bad about the selection. Prices are great, even better than anywhere else. I love Uwajimaya!!

I enjoy this place a lot. We went recently probably a week ago, workers were busy stocking but a lot of the shelves were almost empty of choice products. The demand is high and it was just after the weekend rush on a sunday so I recommend going early in the week or early in general. Love this place

Excellent selection of Japanese and other asian products. The book store is great. The ramen shop next door is also great.

The wife and I always love coming here. We usually make it up here at least once a month. An entire isle dedicated to Japanese and other Asian candies and snacks!! Service is always friendly, prices are great, and then you add on the lovely book store, bakery, fresh seafood... is the best Asian market around!

Compared to the original HQ in Seattle, this place is similar but something is missing. The quality of food in the deli seems to be more bland and lack luster. Maybe its the warehouse environment and lighting? They hold festivals here and I dont know how, it is small. All in all Uwajimaya is the best Japanese grocery store and they make some kawaii sweets!
