About Maya Asian Market

Lynnwood, a suburb roughly fifteen miles north of downtown Seattle, is home to what has been described as the first dedicated Indonesian supermarket in the United States. Maya Asian Market opened on August 27, 2022 at 19725 40th Avenue West, Suite A, founded by Maya Damayanti, a diaspora member originally from Bandung in West Java who had lived in the United States for close to two decades before opening the store. According to coverage from Indonesia Window, Damayanti began preparations as early as 2021, working through supply logistics and city permitting before the store's eventual opening.

The market carries a range of Indonesian grocery staples, snacks, and packaged goods alongside a small deli-style food counter and a handful of tables where customers can eat on site. Visitors have documented ordering prepared dishes such as nasi padang and fried chicken directly from the counter in addition to shopping the packaged goods aisles, giving the space a dual identity as both a grocery store and a casual eatery, though it is registered and best known as a market. Lynnwood itself sits within a part of Greater Seattle with a meaningful concentration of Asian-owned businesses, and Damayanti has spoken about wanting to address a long-standing gap for Indonesian diaspora members in the area who previously had to travel much further afield or rely on mail order for familiar ingredients and snacks.

The store carries an assortment of Indonesian brands and products alongside a smaller selection of other Southeast Asian goods, positioning itself primarily as an Indonesian specialty market rather than a general Asian grocery. It is open Tuesday through Friday from 10:30 AM to 7:00 PM and Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and closed on Mondays. The store can be reached by phone at (425) 835-0593, and further information is available on its own website, mayaasianmarket.com.

This listing fills a real gap in the directory. The Seattle metropolitan area, despite a documented Indonesian restaurant scene in neighborhoods like the University District and Northgate, previously had no grocery listing anywhere in the region.
