Food Depot

Good but the business hours are short. The products there were mainly for wholesale. Most are Chinese food and products. Clean but not big.

Asian markets are a lot like fingerprints. At first glance you might think they are all in someways the same yet they are all completely unique and individual with whorls and twists that can be a little daunting at first, but endlessly exciting. Worth traveling long distances for a particular establishment that carries specific things that cannot be found anywhere else. The Food Depot has , an innocuous name that the belies the treasures that lie within. It is an interesting place, a kind of cross between Costco and Whole Foods with a littleAsian paradise thrown in. I have never been in an Asian market quite like it. I love Asian markets, I love exploring them, wandering the aisles, finding not only my regular, go to items, but new and interesting things that I can explore and experiment with. The food depot has bulk items that you can buy from bins, quite similar to the experience from Whole Foods. It is unique in my Asian market experience. It also has an area in the back where you can buy massive amounts of Asian ingredients in large bulk. Again some thing I have never seen in an Asian market. All in all, it’s a fascinating store. Like cracking open a boring looking clam and finding a luscious pearl inside. Of course it has lots of interesting snacks for the curious, but a good solid foundation that puts it squarely on the list for your regular routine market run.

Have driven past this old Walgreens at corner of Harmony & 82nd for years, but never checked out the store We usally shop at Fubon market or Oriental Food mart at Foster Rd/82nd. Only stocked one brand of Jasmine rice on the shelf, no sticky rice or glutinous rice. The offer a very small selection of Asian vegetables. Sauces and seasonings are not very diverse maninly Chinese orgin. Even Fred Meyer's has a better selection of Soy sauces. Very small selection of Filipino, Thai, Korean, Japanese food goods.

They have most of what I need for Chinese and Thai cooking. The staff are exceedingly friendly and helpful. There is a bit of a language barrier but a little patience works.

Wide variety of bulk food items, pantry, refrigerated, frozen and fresh specializing in Asian cuisine. My family spends most of our time in the snack and soda isle. My favorite find here? Steamed shrimp dumplings. 😋 so good!

Not a "bad" Asian grocery store, but no great selection either. Still better than nothing for the immediate neighborhood when I don't want to drive all the way up 82nd

Excellent place to shop for packaged and frozen food. Very nice staff, very helpful answering questions. Fresh produce is limited but very fresh.
