I opted to go to this store because it’s near my house it seems to me I’m being over charged. When you shop at this store watch out for the cashier they tend to take advantage of the price. I will never shop again at this store the items are over priced.

Seemed fairly small, but they have some fresh meats and produce for offer. If youre looking for dry/shelf stable snacks and such you might find the selection lacking.

Stopped by here yesterday for the first time. We got here late for lunch, but did get some meat on a stick and it was very good. This is a small store but has plenty of what you need. The owner was very nice and helpful. They made us feel like family and had us laughing 😁 thank you for your help and info on your stuff.

Employee by the name of Tina, manager of you read this you need to Fire her . She is very rude and don’t have patience for customers. I called in to ask for something and as I was talking, she purposely hung up the phone on me . I was even done talking . I called again and I ask if it was Tina abs she said yes, and I ask why did you hung up, then she have to audacity to say say, ” what you calling for, what you asking, did u wanted to know if we have fruits, vegetables, etc .” … the fact that she was being sarcastic and didn’t let me ask what I need to ask . “ very rude employee and I feel like you are loosing customer with this type of attitude. She has a very nasty attitude.. please let her go . She could be doing something wrong that you don’t even know . Eating or giving away free stuff .. please . Do it .

Small store with not a whole lot of inventory but it smelled great (woman was cooking meals to sell Im guessing) and the man working the register was really friendly.I only needed one thing and I found it there which saved me a long drive across town. So no complaints from me.I was in a rush so I didnt look around as thoroughly as I wanted but now that I know this store is near me Ill definitely be back.Though maybe not too much because their tamarind candy is too tempting. 😆

Stopped by here to get some ube flavoring and misua... but ended up getting a lot more. It is a small store but they have pretty much everything i was looking for...even the ones I couldnt find at the Asian Supermarket and Tims Oriental. To top it off, they have fresh cooked food... I was hesitant to buy one at first but Im glad I did, coz when I took it home and ate it... it was super yummy! The owner and the folks that hang out there are super friendly and made me feel like Im back in the Philippines. Thank you! I will definitely go to this store first before even venturing out to other Asian stores around town! Mabuhay!

Could be better. Did not like the food placed in plastic ware on counter top. The chicken adobo was okay. Not many places to sit. One thing was good, the fresh vegetables. The grocery store part was excellent and clean. Good job, guys.

Me and my family live on the North side, so its a long trip to this place. But, we make the trip for primarily two things. First of all they sell what my wife calls Filipino corn on the cob. Its not sweet corn like at HEB. But, she used to be a Filipino before she was a US citizen, and she still hankers after the old world corn of her younger days. Moreover, they sell what my wife calls milk fish. Theyre thin filleted fish in a butterfly pattern and fried. Its very very delicious. Very much worth the trip. Plus, they give you a gigantic container of white rice with each order. Personally, the milk fish makes the trip completely worthwhile.

Used to come here a lot as a kid with my mom. Now that I visited it just recently, its still a nice place. Yeah its small but the friendly folks and great food is just something that makes you feel welcomed. I mainly come here for Otap (best thing ever!) but the selection they have is fair.

OMG! there is nothing at this place. Very tiny store with only odds and ends stuff. Dont even know what half of the stuff are. Not worth to go there. If you need Asian grocery this is not the place people.

Review №26

Small little store with meals offered daily...wish they carried a few other items, primarily Filipino products but other than they have good food. 4 star due to size and wish they offered a few more oriental items. But great place to grab a quick lunch, if your around the area.

I developed a taste for Filipino food when I was 15, I was friends w/ one of her daughters and practically lived at Ms Carmens house. She was an amazing cook, Id sneak downstairs and snatch fish. My husband and I were just talking about going to eat Filipino food but I cant go into the Pearl of the Orient, that woman still intimidates the F out of me.If youre coming to the store because you want awesome friendly service, dont bother, but if you want to buy authentic Filipino groceries while they talk about you in Tagalog (even if youre Filipino) then go see Ms Carmen. lol (Im kidding about that last part...kinda)

Filipino goods imported with the customer in mind. Not necessarily a restaurant but if you get there early you get to try some of their homemade food too. Self serve freezers and a variety of other snacks on the shelf.
