Jofen Oriental

If you love Filipino food, this place is a must for those curious or missing a bit of it. Their staff are friendly at the counter if you want to eat fresh from their kitchen. Family used to go here a lot. Their stock in some items may be limited, the carts may be small, but you take your time to look around. They haven't disappointed me in craving. Very organized but cramped. Ambience is okay. Service is outstanding even if you are unsure what you want. Their over counter menu changes daily, so not bad to check.

Great Philippines grocery store, and they have a restaurant with tasty food that is a must try!

I see all these reviews about black people not being accepted… I am black and I have been accepted. They have served me with no problem. I love their food, take out is amazing. Highly recommend for any Race.

I love this store, I heard about this store through word of mouth searching for some kopiko coffee candy, and they have them there. Their prices are very reasonable amd I cant wait to taste their food. They were closing when I went there but Thats just an excuse for me to pay them another visit. Ill probably go this weekend again. I just hate that I been out here for years and never been there. If you haven't been, stop by amd see their fresh sea food, and grab some noodles while youre at it. See ya there!!!!!

Memorable and awesome small store are selling good quality products to us for many years since I am so kid like 7 years old!!

Food here is always freshly cook! Low price on groceries, they have fresh bake Filipino bread
I like their pan de coco and Spanish bread
And their servers are friendly
I definitely recommend JoFen to my friends and family!

This is the go-to store for Filipino food and groceries here in southwest suburbs/ Bolingbrook. They stock a variety of products and they have good service. The owners are nice too. I've seen their growth from a small, basic store to having expanded with an eatery/ catering. Keep it up!

This place has the freshest, tastiest, and best priced take out filipino food you can buy. You can take out or dine in. We come here every Sunday to get our food for the week and they never disappoint.

All the staff are very nice and polite. One in particular is Bernadette. She is always smiling and courteous. She and all the staff behind the counter make you feel right at home.

Did I forget to mention they also have an Asian Grocery store? Yep, they do. Well stocked with fresh, frozen, and imported goods. I use to bounce all over until I found this place. Now I only come here. They know how to treat their customers. A+ to JoFen. Keep up the good work!!!

As far as all the negative comments, Its obvious they are from competitors.

Have a good day and god bless everyone.

They sell African food items such as beans, meat, fish, fufu mix, etc that are very decently priced! Their goat meat is fresh and tastes just like the kind back home. Place is always kept clean .

The service was phenomenal and everyone was very heloful, it's not a huge store but they've got the best snacks and some great seafood. A few of them smelled a little off/old but the prices for everything else where right. There is a HUGE selection of snacks my goodness, if you want oriental snacks go here. 10/10 will be back

I have been going to this place for about 15 years, even before it expanded into what it is now. It is a grocery store with a ready made food counter. It has all the fresh ethnic foods and ingredients that an oriental store should have. The ready made food counter is the real hero here though. The food is always hot and good tasting. Cooked traditionally. I moved to Chicago, but I still choose to come here bc there is no other filipino food market that beats it. It's better than both seafood city and unimart combined. Highly recommend.

I found the Filipino food I was seeking. The shelves were well organized. I'd like to come back to eat at their restaurant.

Update: I ate at the restaurant. It tasted delicious and homemade.

You can find beautiful Filipino foods here you can't find anywhere else,from exotic meats to whole fresh seafood as well as freshly made, made to order on the go.....very nice people there....been back there again...now the made a small restaurant style store on the inside of the store...so now you have a great variety of so many delicious authentic meals and foods to choose from....not to mention their fish market ...omg...this store has merchandise from several different places from around the world..some even mention where ,for instances...it could be a fish for sale and on the tag for the fish it will say "africa" or some country ..just an example...very friendly people...please go check them out , a real original and authentic Asian market for the scale of it.My girls is in some of these pics from there....she was born in the Philippines and knows her foods...we live a good 35 40 minutes from this place,she insist this is the only one we go to. ...please leave a post or reply or something if you decide to go,let me know what your experience was. ...Ohhh...lol...one more thing...while I was shopping i witnessed an older lady picking through live crabs for I guess the perfect ones for her soup or whatever...thought that was pretty cool.

Small store but stocked with a variety of Asian food items and snacks. Also serving chinese and phillipino hot ready made dishes. Shop and eat not a bad combo. The friendly staff is also a plus.

This place has the most reasonable price on Filipino items! I have been in USA since 1999, I have lived in Darien, Chicago and Joliet, almost all Filipino stores are overpriced. Fortunately Jofen retains a very reasonable overhead which is probably why they keep expanding and getting more customers.. I'm always recommending this place

I LOVE this place!!! Food is always super fresh and everyone is very nice. The market connected to the restaurant is a big plus!

I drive here cuz they have everything I need.
The to go food is where I go for the times I miss filipino food. Prices overall are reasonable and the selection is quite good

Great little Filipino grocery with a hot food bar. All the classics are there and all really well done. The Beef Caldereta is especially good. My wife thinks their Totang Talong is a little bland (her favorite dish her Lola used to make) but is good. Every thing else is just as you would expect. Their butcher shop has a large selection of goat and other items somewhat hard to find in an American grocery. Maybe that is why there is a large number of non Filipino ethnic shoppers there as well.

I love the people here! They’re so friendly and the food is so great! If you love Filipino food, go here!

They make karyoka daily. They have a small grocery that have filipino items
