ImportFood.com sells online carefully selected, high quality imported Thai food products. Our unique website also features over 150 different Thai recipes and offers our visitors the ability to buy hard-to-find ingredients while browsing.

ImportFood.com was founded in 1999 by Jerry and Yaowalak Good. After living in Thailand for three years and earning an MBA at Bangkok University, Jerry returned to Seattle in 1994 to work as an international food trader for a large trading company. With 5 years of experience trading food products in 42 countries, Jerry understands the business of finding the very best suppliers as well as the logistics required to get fresh products from Asia delivered to your doorstep quickly and efficiently. Yaowalak, a graduate of Saint John's College in Bangkok, spent several years as an accountant before coming to the United States in 1996. Her extensive knowledge and true love of Thai cooking has been the main inspiration for ImportFood.com.

Before ImportFood.com was launched it was quite difficult to obtain a decent selection of necessary Thai ingredients in most of the United States. Even in the city of Seattle, with a diverse Asian population, most of the Asian supermarkets offer products at relatively high prices with dates of manufacture going back 1-2, even 3+ years.

Since opening our online shop we've been serving not only native-born Americans who've developed a taste for Thai cuisine, but also immigrant Asian customers who are pleased to know they can order a large selection of fresh, quality products at prices lower than their local stores can offer. Furthermore, our customers no longer need to drive extended distances to get their favorite goods. Thanks to the internet, ImportFood.com can offer a wider selection of better quality food delivered at lower prices. Everybody wins!! We like to point out that even the limited "ethnic" section at Safeway sells products for more than ImportFood.com prices, and our products are fresher.

We are located in the port city of Seattle, Washington. Our goods are warehoused in a clean, organized facility where your orders are packed and shipped immediately after we receive your order. We do not have a "brick and mortar" store, therefore our overhead is low which keeps our prices low. Our long term objective is to continue "doing what we're doing"--providing a growing number of consumers the ability to buy a greater selection of quality products at low prices, as well as featuring a large selection of authentic recipes for you to enjoy.

We hope you enjoy our growing website. Please come often, as we are constantly adding to our product mix, and please send us an email if you have any comments or suggestions. We will respond to all queries immediately.
