Wayne's Fruits & Vegetables

Wayne's is a family-owned business that sells produce and meats at an affordable price! Their products are unique and come from all around the world. They have Mexican/Hispanic products, Asian products (Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, Filipino, etc.), European products, etc. They also have your everyday products so it could be your one stop shop for grocery shopping.

I love coming to Wayne's for all of my weekly groceries because they have a large variety of fresh produce and meats/seafood. They sell a lot of products that you simply cannot find in American grocery stores. They also have great prices for quality products. Wayne's is a small family-owned business that I have supported for the past couple of years and will continue to support!

Well, you get what you ask for in Burien, right? In order to get to larger Asian markets around South Seattle, you either have to travel a bit to Seattle or White Center in order to gain more selections. This is as good as it gets, for it is literally 5 mins from where I live. The prices might be slightly more expensive than other Asian stores since it is the only one in Burien, so you just have to be okay with that. The good news is you won't have to fight for parking spot or worry about some bad Asian drivers hitting your car (I'm sorry if this comment might be offensive to some others, but you know it IS true). The issue I have with this store is the confusion of the shelf arrangements! May be it is just me... But....Last weekend, I wanted to look for bamboo shoots and corn (the kinds that have reserved liquid in the cans). You would think that they would have the bamboo shoots and the corn listed all together on the shelf OR in the same aisle since they are.... products in the cans! However, I found the bamboo shoots in one side, and I had to carry my basket to the other side in order to get the corn! Every time I come here, I seem to have to learn about certainly odd arrangements they have in the store. No worries since I am getting used to the market now. There is this short Vietnamese man who does the stocking in the store, and it is my fault that I never got his name. He is very helpful. Every time I ask him, he is always able to point out the products and their locations. Thank goodness for his usefulness! Will come back soon when I feel lazy to go to Seattle / White Center AND if they have the products I'm cooking for.

Pretty much yet another local, family owned market. This one does have some unique options I haven't seen in other stores. I think the trick with these types of places is keep your standards low and fingers crossed you will hopefully come out with something fun to take home. The grocers here are usually busy working, so you better know how to use whatever exotic ingredients you get at a place like this. The prices are pretty good for most things, so if you're needing that special something, this may be the place for you.

Pretty decent place, I like the other fruit and veggie options they have that the grocery stores don't and the prices are cheap however they have a $10 minimum for a debit card purchase. Which sucks because I don't usually carry cash and I do not always need that much. My purchase was $9.34 total and they wanted me to get more. I did not want to have to stand in line again and they do not care, they will just let you leave. Not the best customer service in my opinion. Endedup just going to Safeway since I needed to go there anyways, just like to try and support local businesses.

I'd walked by this place several times when I had business in Burien, and never gotten around to checking it out. From the street it doesn't look like much, but...Wow! All the produce is really good quality, and great prices. It's actually quite large, and also has a great selection of Asian items as well as Mexican and Middle Eastern basics, plus a fresh fish area. Nice people too; I think I may have just found my favorite produce market in the SW Seattle area.

This little international market has all of the ingredients to make authentic dishes. Also their fresh veggies last a long time in my fridge unlike other larger grocery chains. The price is always low for quality food. Highly recommend.

Seems like every time I go into this place it's extremely busy and there is a long line at the cashier but I just love their sticky rice when it's available fresh.

I really like Waynes for certain fruit, ginger, turmeric, and Asian produce that you can't find at safeway or fred meyer. Also sesame oil, soy sauce, chili sauces, canned exotic fruits and coconut milk are much less expensive here. But that's about as much as I'll get here. I ventured into the meat/frozen section one time only and will never do it again. I bought some refrigerated quail eggs. They looked and smelled good but I cooked them into an omelette and ended up with food poisoning for the next 3 days. Only one other time in my 33 years of existence have i regretted eating something so much. That being said, it is a decent store if you make sure you pay attention to what you're purchasing. Be aware of expiration dates.

This store has many variety of items, but the aisles are tight and could only fit one person at a time. The canned and dried items may be a little challenging to find if you're in a hurry. However, produce and meat items are easy to find. Don't expect great customer service as the cashiers rarely say hello or thank you. They ring you up and out you go.
