Asian Mart & Fast Food

I recently visited a Filipino grocery store and was pleasantly surprised by the great selection of ready-to-eat authentic Filipino food that was available at very affordable prices. The store also offered a variety of other snack and grocery items, which made it a one-stop shop for all my needs. The ready-to-eat food was particularly convenient, as it allowed me to enjoy authentic Filipino flavors without having to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. I was very impressed with the quality and variety of the food, and I will definitely be returning to this store in the future. If you're a fan of Filipino cuisine and looking for an affordable, convenient way to enjoy it, I highly recommend this grocery store.

We got Halo-halo and Mais Con Hielo! The Mais even had leche flan. Both of these were so good!!! Everyone was so sweet and kind. The food selections were great!

Found items we needed, and did not have to wait on delivery.

Good food , respect workers,

Love this store and love the pol that work there.

Good halo halo

A good friend pointed these guys out to me as she recently tried them.

ATMOSPHERE:
Located in the former Minit Stop on Lower Main Street, the exterior has not been updated at all so it's rather dilapidated-looking. The only change inside is the addition of a hot foods counter. The old beverage refrigerators are still there and house convenience store-like selections with the dry goods shelves boasting mostly Filipino and a mix of Asian goods, snacks, foods, spices and ingredients. A tiny selection of fresh produce is also available. The hot foods line is immediately to the right as your enter. Parking is plentiful.

MENU:
Ala carte or combo plates of Filipino fare, traditional local plate lunches, tako and ahi poke, bubble tea and Filipino desserts.

FOOD:
2 Choice Meal - $11.99
I chose pancit, pork & peas and pig's feet soup. The pancit was 90% bihon and 10% egg noodles, a plus in my book. It was lightly seasoned and stir fried with pork, carrots and onions. I added in some shoyu for some kick.

The pork and peas had great flavor - heavy on the tomato and pimentos though the pork pieces were pretty fatty. I love peas and will always welcome an overload but that wasn't the case here. There were also cold spots in my scoop, meaning the selection was probably refrigerated leftovers heated up again. No can!

I was wanting to try their chicken adobo but it wasn't available so I settled for their pig's feet soup. My favorite pig's feet soup is the Okinawan version. I didn't know what to expect with the Filipino version, but it was pretty vinegary. Good but not my favorite use of ingredient in a soup. In addition to the huge cuts of pig's feet, the soup also contained onions and cabbage. Portion size was average.

SERVICE:
I called before coming in to make sure they were serving lunch. The lady who answered the phone didn't sound happy so I had my guard up going in, LOL. Happy to report that I was immediately greeted and assisted in a friendly manner. Credit cards are accepted and no tip is required.

OVERALL:
I'm always down for more food options but the cuisine and offerings here can be had at numerous other establishments around town that do it better.

Spacing is too narrow and improvement is needed in organizing the product

A friend recommended I try their halo halo. We ordered 4... 3 were previously frozen and rock hard (couldn't even eat without defrosting for many hours). The one that was made fresh had no UBE ice cream, but we were still charged for the "special" halo halo for all 4. We also ordered the smallest size of pinakbet ala carte, and was charged for a medium.
