This is an oriental market, but my family and I like coming here for the food. They make and sell pancit here, and it's incredibly delicious. Although homemade will always be better, their pancit is so good and they give really big portions. And when I mean big portions, it's overflowing in the containers but they use Saran Wrap to keep it in place so the pancit does not fall out. It's that good. Biggest tip - if you need it for a party - call them in advance or go really early because the food can run out quickly. Another Filipino dish we like getting here is the DINAGUAN aka Choclate Meat. I'm really picky when it comes to Filipino because home cooked is always best but their dinaguan is so comparable to how my mama cooks it. It doesn't have all the cartilage in it and just pork meat which I prefer anyway and the sauce has good consistency. Great find in Vallejo off Sonoma Blvd. check them out read more

I go here for their egado and to pick up balikbayan boxes. It gets pretty hot in the store and I didn't notice any AC just a big shop fan circulating air within the store. I did notice that sometimes they close 30-60 earlier than the posted closing time on yelp. I stood there at the door scratching my head a few times when they should be still open but they were busy counting the drawer. read more

Don't be fooled by the small and unassuming store front. Although 3-J's is a small Filipino grocery store with a wee-little take-out cafeteria their cooked food tastes amazing and is C H E A P. We, and most other people in the store at lunch time, were there for the cooked food, not the groceries, and this review is strictly about the food. I am grateful to my wife's Filipino colleagues and hairstylist who all steered us to this culinary gem. They serve the typical "silogs" (various breakfast meat with rice and fried egg) for breakfast and then serve traditional Filipino dishes for lunch. Prices for a heaping mound of rice and one or two heaping servings of your choice of entree range from $3.99 to $6.99. For our lunch we sampled several of the entrees including: - Roast pig (lechon) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/3-js-oriental-store-vallejo?select=mLvUNtp2er9irnJCKa_nbA#jinAesWiughrwK8pso1CHA - Adobo and Laing (stewed taro leaves) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/3-js-oriental-store-vallejo?select=mLvUNtp2er9irnJCKa_nbA#ymJKO2RdxriqxVWbhRX1lw - Pansit (stir fried vermicelli noodles) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/3-js-oriental-store-vallejo?select=mLvUNtp2er9irnJCKa_nbA#Yhq76ZDRbfWGFLaPGOx8Cw They all tasted authentic, were cooked just right and with fresh ingredients. Don't speak Tagalog and don't know what to order? Neither do I. Their dishes are clearly displayed behind glass so just pick what looks good to you! As long as the staff are not getting slammed by a lunch horde they will gladly tell you about each of the dishes. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/3-js-oriental-store-vallejo?select=mLvUNtp2er9irnJCKa_nbA#s2Q1uo9pcc3qY4dYQ6kAeA As I write this I am getting hungry and will be going there tomorrow morning for their breakfast! ;o) read more

See all

3 J's Oriental Market is a small, packed, fishy (in more ways than one) kind of place. The neighboring Island Pacific has signage indicating they're under renovation (but no reopening date currently given) It looks like 3 J's itself is under renovation. They have staples of Filipino cuisine- banana ketchup, all-purpose sauce, various soy sauces, shrimp chips, pancit packets. There was a friendly woman peeling carrots on a checkout/money order counter, rather than the kitchen. While I couldn't find sesame oil, I was able to find Magnolia brand ice cream at a reasonable price. I got the avocado&purple yam flavors. The checkout is fast, friendly&attentive. 3 J's looks like it could use some cleanup&renovation, but it looks as if they're doing it already. It's a mini-mart, so don't expect a comprehensive selection like Seafood City. read more

My ma-in-law turned me on to this small Filipino store. They have your traditional Asian produce, assorted fresh fish, meat section, imported foods, snacks and frozen goods. Not to mention live Blue Crabs! You can grab to-go Filipino cooked food, from Chicken Adobo to Crispy Pata. The Balut (Asian delicacy) here was awesome! Cooked perfectly and ready to eat yummy... read more

3J's Oriental Market - Storefront - International Grocery Near Me - Vallejo, California

I only now have noticed this place that is tucked in the back corner of the shopping center. It is a very small market. A convenience store if you will catering for Asians primarily Filipinos and not Oriental which I think is a racial term in my opinion. They have frozen to preserved goods. Also, they have a meat/fish department in the back. However, during my visit it was completely dead. The meat/fish guys in the back were occupied cleaning something so no one was present at the counter. At the cash register located near the entrance, they sell hot foods as well. It is very nice to have something like this for convenience purposes. However, I didn't find anything useful about it for me personally. I'm hoping that they will improve their business model. It could very well be that I visited here while they are still settling in. I will check back in the future. read more

Adobo chicken is good however the pork version is ok except the meat is so chewy you need a sabertooth to chew it and it is drowning in oil.

Filipino staple foods at competitive pricing. Buy it and serve at home. Palabok, goat caldareta, Kari Kari and seafood combo (all half trays) for $230. read more

3J's Oriental Market - International Grocery Near Me - Vallejo, California

It would have been 4 stars if they take time to cook the meat! Most of the meat dishes are still tough. (Dapat palambutin ang karne) The noodles are okay as expected. I would love to go back here when I crave my fav Filipino dishes but until then I will go to the one in Suisun! read more

Very poor service. Nasty employees. I will never step there. Not organized, very dirty facility.

We love stopping in 3J's Market for culinary ingredients and take home some delicious food. The ladies always walk me through new products and they have introduced me to so many new flavors and items from the Philippines. Stop in and shop around. Ask them to select lunch to go for you, you will not regret it. read more

My wife gets Pancit from this store all the time, and its fabulous. Only thing that annoys me is the woman in the cashier that would tell the person in the back of the line to bypass everyone because she knew her personally...strange luck because it happens all the time when I'm there... read more

Beware of dishonest employee! On two occasions, my mother-in-law was short changed $5 by the same cashier. She doesn't speak English or Tagalog, and I believe the cashier takes advantage of her. When we confronted her later, why did the cashier take $5 from her purse which she had at the cashier station? Highly suspicious. read more

3-J's is a small full service compact grocery store complete with a take out counter for scoop to go orders. not sure why a tray of uncovered fried fish (bangus?) was siting on top of the shelve. buys: "lucky me" pancit canton,(citrus/sweet & sour) & chicken noodle dry noodle: 3/1 -trying out how phillipine ramen tastes like take outs: -3 J has all the necessities one needs in a grocery. didn't check the pricing. -not everything was priced. -fast, friendly checkout. read more

The food is ok, but the people are extremely unhelpful. We ordered lumpia & pancit for a party & it wasn't even ready when I came in to pick it up. The fans are so loud they can't hear you. I tried waving my pick-up ticket to get someone's attention. Three people just stared at me & just kept doing whatever they were doing. read more

My main spot to order Shanghai lumpias. They also have an a la carte menu and lots of different filipino dishes. Granny comes here all the time. When we have lots of calamansi or lemons .. they do buy them from us .. (cha-ching) Peeps here are really nice. Been knowing them for a while. It's nice to see the younger generation come help out on the weekends. Thought that was cool. Parking lot is usually PACKED on the weekends, b/c of Golden City Buffet .. OMG .. but most of the time you're in and out. Service charge for using the plastic (a.k.a. credit/debit card) which they didn't have before .. Guess times are tough for everyone. read more

We were like kids in a candy store.....Filipino style. Just because we forgot to order some cooked rice in another store to have with our lunch. Craziness as we walked out with maybe another half dozen hot dishes and some sweet treats. Plenty of choices of hot food to go, great prices, traditional Filipino foods. Tiny store, nice people who run it. read more

This place is a gem!!! All their food is delish, especially famous for their Pancit combo. You can place an order for a your choice of tray size, on the same day, otherwise, the pancit they make is first come first serve. They are very generous....and when I say very, it is an understatement! They really pack in the styrofoam container, and then they wrap it up with saran wrap, to make sure you don't waste anything! They have other dishes too. Their Laing (veggies and pork, cooked in coconut milk), and fried bangus (milkfish) are so bomb!! They also have great ready made desserts! Basically, a one-stop shop for filipino goodies! read more

A hole in the wall little Filipino store. I have been coming here for mostly all food order needs the combo pancit is so good. Might have to try their other dishes. read more

First time here at the market. The place is smelly and dirty. Almost everything in here looks like, it has been sitting here for a long time. The cook food are just ok. Everything in here seems to be over price. Comparing to the other Asian markets. I will not recommend this market to anyone. I will definitely not coming back here again. Sorry. read more

Poor Service. Tried ordering over the phone. Placed me on hold then totally forgot about me while i listen on the background and they're chit chatting away. In ilocano. read more

It's a good go-to Pilipino mini-mart, with great tasting filipino food and delicacies. Long line sometimes so go on a low-peak time. I suggest they have separate line and cashier for customers that will not purchase entrees so it will keep the flow going and less people in the small store. They tend to get rude sometimes when they're stressed out when with too much customers, don't take it seriously tho. read more

This place is a grocery store/hot food deli, small store not much to buy, fish is also not fresh. I only come here for their flan( prepacked from the fridge). There are many cashiering station, after waited 10 minutes to pay, cashier told me she don't care what I buy I needed to get behind all the people whose getting food from the deli then she can check out me out. Horrible cashier and customer service. Very unorganized and no management. Well not come back again! read more

They need to replace the storage bins they sell veggies in. It's really dirty and moldy looking. So gross

Ordering for parties is the only good thing about this place. Other than that if you come into to buy anything else, their customer service is horrible. Line doesn't make sense there should be a line and cashier for those not getting hot food. The women cashiers are rude. read more

Came at 6:10pm and the door was locked. The cashier said they were closed..... so the time on yelp is incorrect. They dont close at 7pm.

The food is great specially the pancit combination. Doesn't go bad right away. Only thing I din't appreciate was the cashier/food server handles money and food without changing gloves. read more

Beware do not order any food for your party you might end up with no food they will ruin your party they did it to me on Christmas Eve

Great food selections! My favorite is their Pancit palabok. It gets pretty but totally worth it

The best place to buy cooked pinoy food!!! The pansit is the best, the empanada and pretty much everything is soooo good!!! I my Dane today!!! Great guy!!!! read more

My mom gets pancit and dinuguan here. Hella good home-y filipino food to go. :)

I've been coming here for years and your neighborhood or go to place in case you have a last minute need for basic Filipino cooking needs/ingredients . They sell cooked dishes too at reasonable prices --'point-point' style. I'm more of a fan of their pancit which they always give at very generous amount. Not so much with other dishes especially chicken as I had diarrhea episodes a few times before ; either related to undercooked meat or contamination due to unsanitary food exposure. read more

Cheap, authentic Filipino, generous serving, nice accommodating staff - what more can you ask for?! I give 10 stars if it's available!

I called the number provided in YP and Yelp, even Googled the store to check if number is right. The number (line) I called is always busy! Food is great though. My issue is making contact with the store. read more

Try their frozen lumpia that they make, real good. My family and I go here specifically for that, but overall this is a nice small Filipino market where you can also buy food to go. read more

Had the worse experience in this store today. I am being force to buy a food that been seating on their counter. The store decided to pre-pack their food, not only its cold, its been seating in area were flies is able to touch on them. As a customer I should have a choice to get fresh food. read more

wifey gets food from here when she's too lazy to cook. good tasty filipino food.

I live near here and it is a great market for veggies and other items that you won't find at Food 4 less. Generally we don't eat Filipino food from restaurants because our home cooking is better (haha) but their hot food is good, great for days when we're too lazy to cook :) They make goat kaldereta on Saturday and it is SOOO good, as is the dinuguan. read more

Picked up lumpia for my son's class today they did not honor the $5 pick-up or delivery discount. Very poor customer service for that. Shame on you Elvie! read more

This place has good filipino food if you don't want to cook it for yourself. prices are very moderate. we always order for parties. what is good there - turon, pinakbet, shanghai lumpia and beef steak. I heard pretty much anything you order is good. This place beats Andrea's anyday. read more
