A well kept secret! Only stopped at this place as we were waiting for our food from next door. So glad we went in! Found so many things that either aren’t available here or must be ordered online. So many good products and snacks for such a good price. (The mamon is from next door)

This store is stocked with a lot of products from the Philippines that are either hard to find or you have to order online. Their prices arent bad, their staff keep the shelves stocked, and we like stopping by when visit Jollibee and Red Ribbon which are right next door.

Great selection of Filipino goods. They have fresh island style longaniza. Made it for breakfast this morning nice grind and good solid chunks of meat and fat like a traditional sausage should have. The people working their were very friendly and helped in whatever way possible.

I like to shop in this store, but what irritates me is this aging lady cashier, I have been very patient and considerate with her knowing that she is an elderly but this behavior of hers been repetitive and abusive to the customers . She shows no manners, rude and very sarcastic to her customers. I dont care if shes the mother of the owner but she should learn how to talk nicely to her customers when being ask for help or ask about the product we are buying. I hope she just stay home and watch TFC / GMA to relax herself not work too hard and being grumpy all day . She has to move out of being a cashier so she would not create negativity in the environment and not to put negative feelings to the customers as well.

Ive been buying these packs of spicy noodles from them for $6 and some change and it went up to over $10. Ridiculous...

The prices here are phenomenal. We get a lot of our food from here and save a ton on monthly grocery expenses

Manila Minimart is an amazingly tiny Filipino grocery store that sells low end Filipino products in downtown Houston. Whats more amazing was how one of the aging cashiers ridiculed the kind of fish that I was buying as reject and would rather not consume it. She added that only poor folks would consume this kind of fish in her province Capiz. Why would the store sell rejects in the first place? I hope that entrepreneurs and managers of these kind of stores would provide sensitivity training to their staff before releasing them into the frontline. The incident happened on October 12, 2018.

They sell a small amount of unique Filipino products.Example: Ketchup Pik Nik or popping seaweed.Small store has tons of snacks. I wouldnt come here to do daily groceries but for missing seasonings. Nice place to stop in after Pugon De Manila, Jollibee, and Red Ribbon.I was happy there was Filpino Grocery store because I wanted to understand the culture and food of my boyfriends heritage.Prices are reasonable because of the lack of competition and rarity of some products. (Soon to be change because of the Cherry Foodrama Grocery)Dont come here if you expect to be greeted or come out feeling like youve made well-done purchase.The entire atmosphere and check-out process was quiet and cold. Probably good for those that dont enjoy talking to other people.

It’s a small Filipino grocery store, but you’ll find a variety of items for cooking or snacking. Workers are friendly, helpful, and work conscientiously (Oscar packed our bottled sauces so well). They scan your purchases and give you an itemized receipt printed out from their computerized cash register. If you’re in the area, it’s worth a trip to see what they have. They are located in a strip mall where Jollibee, Red Ribbon, and Pugon de Manila are so you can enjoy some Filipino food after shopping.

Its a tiny shop with a lot of imported items. They dont really have a useful variety of produce, but if youre looking for Filipino treats or items, this is where you go.
