Pleasant. Good costumer service. They have the specific products Im looking for... for a 2hour drive (4hr back&forth) not bad at all.

I love that they have a wide variety of teas. Also, the produce dept has so many vegetables and fruit at reasonable price, and roots such as fresh ginger and tumeric. Their seafood dept has just about every fish you can think of on ice, some Ive never even heard of. Live lobsters too in tanks. Their meat dept has much lower prices than the commercial name brand grocery stores. The frozen food section has lots to choose from in Asian foods. And an isle full of sauces and marinades. They also sell small kitchen appliances such as rice cookers. And they sell the largest sacks of rice Ive ever seen! I really like shopping here. The cashiers are very friendly. Even if there are long lines, they move quickly. The store is always clean. You dont have to go to look for someone to help you. Store associates are always restocking or straightening up the store to have it looking nice. And they are nice to help you out if you cant find an item. you need. They give you a store card to use whenever youre at checkout. Points add up every time you shop towards money credited towards future purchases. There is a big lottery machine there that you can use. There is also one cash register that has a lottery machine beside the register where you can buy draw tickets as youre checking out or turn in your winning tickets there. I like shopping here. I always see something that I want to try next in a recipe.

Dont offer curbside pick up if no one will answer the phone.

I have been in other Asians / Islander markets and this one has to rank at the bottom. It had a cute Ambiance thats all I can say good about it. The prices were quite High compared to other places and not a real good selection. And definitely not any Island products. I realize that fish markets are pretty smelly but the area where the fresh fish on Ice was was almost nauseating. I wont return to this store which is sad because I had planned on going there for a couple months and finally made it.

I never saw so much Filipino food under one place! I would like to try it though. I wish I had a Filipino friend that would share his recommendations to me. Im willing to try it. It smelled so good!

Cooked food is okay. The BBQs (kebabs) are generally the reason to come in here fo. Once in a while youre gonna get some that are not cooked properly. Their breakfast deals are also great.

I gave it a 3 star because although they have some good cooked food and I like there salmon steaks and Ive noticed they have a wide variety of fresh seafood. Im just not always satisfied with the cleanliness and quality of there fresh seafood. Yes I do like my salmon but there have been times I was a little grossed out by the blood still left on my fish or the handling of the product to me from the people behind the counter. Especially the times Ive watched them clean up late at night and never wash or sanitize there hands or change there gloves when they come in contact with the product, although I know they dont directly touch it. Its the fact that they just dont practice extra sanitary precautions. And last night I bought a bag of frozen mixed mexican blend vegetables and the entire bag was frost bitten to a degree that I could not even use it at all.

Review №13

My family and I enjoy coming here for the fish. The kids will pick out the fish they want to eat (usually Tilapia). Then well ask them to clean and deep fry it. They also love the Pandesal from Tastee Bakeshop. Its always hot and fluffy.

Review №24

Love the chicken empanadas (Josephines) by the food court. You should get the pan de sal (plain, with chicken or pork adobo) at the bakery (Tasty)... Food court has some delish Filipino food choices like their lechon, pancit(rice noodles with veggies/meat, pork or chicken bbq, spanish menudo(not Mexican style), kare-kare(with peanut sauce), chicken afritada. You can order your combo like half rice and half pancit noodles and with either one or two entree. Happy eating 😍😍😍

The frozen section is pretty gross here... freezer burn and just in general old products. this supermarket is as close to the philippines as youll ever see, including having guys hanging out in front selling balut. all in all, Id recommend going to seafood city across the street
