Love this store, it has become my go to for buying fresh ingredients, and I always spend like 10 bucks buying random drinks to try and I really love their ramen section. Also don't discount the food court here there is 3-4 restaurants in there, and all of them give you your main and sides and tea, and it is all very good and fresh tasting as well. If you want the best Chinese food i highly recommend the one here in the food court. Don't miss out on their bakery as well.

I’ve been told by some friends that I would love this store. They were right. I was super impressed. When you walk in there’s a bakery to the left then straight into the produce section. Such a huge selection of produce you can only find in Asian stores. It was fresh and inviting. I was amazed at the affordable prices. I’ve been paying way too much at Uwajimaya. There’s a seafood department with live fish and crab and fresh fish on ice. Theres a small meat area (no butcher counter). The aisles of the store are by nationality. There’s Filipino, Thai, Chinese and only a small Japanese aisle. The food comes in small packages all the way up to commercial size bags. The prices and selection blew me away. I’ll be back for sure. Lots and lots to explore and hopefully the food court will be open. I took photos at just a few items.

Let just say that I was very impressed during my visit ! This is my second time going there but my first shopping trip was to grab one item so it was quick . This time I checked around and they have almost everything ! They even have fresh tilapia, fresh produce, several kind of rices and a lot of international stuff. Their customers bathroom was well maintained and clean .

I live in Puyallup/ Graham and Love Pal-do! They have a great selection of Asian treats, fruit, drinks and ingredients at great prices 90% of the time. Some things are pricier, but overall it’s a great store!

This store has the best veggies, both varieties and condition. In addition you can pick up great frozen Asian items and fantastic desserts.

I love H MART, but Pal-do is less commercial, had more things, and the prices are much better for veg and meats for things like hotpot. On the negative side, it's way more disorganized and much harder to find stuff, but one plus is they serve taiyaki, and that's always a plus for me. Oreo and red bean are the best! ❤

Pretty cool place! I wanted to make authentic miso soup so I literally went up to a worker and asked how they make it at home. He showed me everything and the miso turned out sooo GOOD! Def worth a visit. It’s def different then an American grocery store so you have to go in open minded. I’m always finding some interesting snacks.

We've been to pal-do before and it's definitely one of my favorite markets. They have so many different things from seafood to meats to snacks. Everytime we come here I have a hard time picking stuff that I want because of the different choices. After our shopping, we ate at this lil homemade dumpling stuff in their little food court called House of Mandoo. It was so yummy. We got. 2 pork dumplings and 2 kimchi and pork dumplings. Definitely can't wait to visit this market again!

We just went for a few quick things and we're very impressed by the selection of meat (short ribs) and seafood! We ended up buying a striped bass which they cleaned (scaled and gutted); ready for frying up. We also got some veggies and a large jar of uncut kimchee (we prefer uncut to pre-sliced just for the flavor). Definitely will be returning to this store.

Awesome place. Reminds me of home and they have islanders and Asian food products. Just a homely feeling walking into this place! Have been a return customer for 4 years about now and will continue to shop here

We absolutely love this Korean market! The produce is awesome and really fresh! Don't know many places one can buy 7-8 fresh large knuckles of ginger for around $4.00. The meat and fresh seafood selection is incredible! The pork belly sold here is wonderful! There is a vendor, in the middle of the store, who sells made-to-order Bungeo-ppang. The traditional red bean paste filling is delicious, as are his other fillings. Lots of variety of kimchi. One of my favorite Korean treats, Yakgwa (Honey Cookies) is sold there and they are delicious! Lots of great snacks and drinks my family loves, at reasonable prices. Definitely recommend a visit to Pal-Do.

Very good prices and quality of items. Can buy yummy bungeoppang (taiyaki) inside during some hours. They also have a bakery and some restaurants. Also multiple merchants with various non-grocery goods. Overall very good store.

Joel Finch in Oly told me about this place years ago and I finally made it. Delivered on all my expectations. Best part was the spicy tofu soup I ordered at the food court.

It’s our first time going to Pal-Do but definitely not the last! I can’t help but to compare it with H-mart. With regards to variety of choices in the produce and groceries, I think both Pal-Do and H mart has about the same level of variety, maybe a little bit of an edge on H-mart BUT the upside on Pal-Do is the prices on the produce which is the cheapest we have seen so far. This place is definitely great for wholesalers and or restaurants since they sell the biggest canisters of soy bean paste I’ve seen so far 🤣 among others. They have bigger aisles so it is easier to go around compared to H-mart.

They also sell a lot of Filipino goodies/products which we haven’t seen in other stores, so it was definitely worth our 30min drive from where we live.

If you like seafood, this is also a great place to go, although the live seafood is limited to tilapia and crab (forgot the species there today). Having your fish cleaned/cut is a breeze.

The Korean pancake corner by the seafood section is a treat! They have a proper bakery by the entrance of the market which sells a variety of Korean pastries and cakes that looks delicious but didn’t try some today. A plus for us where the food stalls inside the mart, which offered Japanese, Chinese and of course Korean food. We dined at the Nak Won Korean stall and the food was delicious, price is reasonable and the servings were generous but what made it extra enjoyable to dine there was the Korean food attendant at Nak Won. She was very attentive and extra pleasant!

Till our next visit!

This place is awesome! I'm glad we stopped in, bought some sushi grade tuna and salmon and making our own sushi! Prices are great.

I absolutely love visiting this place for its amazing bakery, extensive selection of authentic Asian groceries, and fantastic food court. They truly have everything I need to bring a taste of Asia into my kitchen, and their high-quality cooking utensils are always a highlight of my shopping experience. While there may be other stores with slightly better deals, I always come back to this place for its unbeatable selection and welcoming atmosphere. It's simply the best place to go for all my Asian grocery needs when I'm in the area!
