Looking for authentic Asian food? Head down to Seattle’s International District. Home to a wide range of restaurants in Chinatown, Japantown, and Little Saigon, and just a couple of stops south on the light rail from the convention center, this is the place to go for noodles, dumplings, and other Asian fare. The International District is also home to Uwajimaya, a massive Asian grocery store, which includes a food court for fast casual eating, a huge variety of Asian food products, and a large kitchenware section. Uwajimaya has been a Seattle staple for almost 100 years, and is also the home of Kinokuniya Bookstore—a Japanese bookshop selling works in multiple languages, gifts, and stationery items.
