Uwajimaya is an Asian "QFC", only better.

There is a huge assortment of interesting Asian junk foods, many of them either starchy and gooey or ludicrously sweetened and flavored. At the risk of sounding prejudiced, I will say that one feature that impresses is the fact that so many Asians shop here, because I assume that they know what a store like this should have. But as a vegetarian I do not like to see the live sea creatures awaiting execution in their fish-Auschwitz (gives me the creeps!) seafood section! Some of the smaller stores in the International District have some items for a little less money, but nobody in the area bets their selection.
