CUSTOMER SERVICE: - warm and welcoming

*Nice Little Family Owned Asian Market*…read more I will admit this place slipped through my radar. Tho I don't live too far from here and drive by all the time, it's an unassuming place in an older building, and assumed it's an Oriental gift shop or rug store. Because their signage is small and doesn't stand out too much when I've driven by. Recently discovered Fil Am on Yelp browsing through my local search feed. I like to support local but was surprised to see I missed out on this place. But thrilled to learn it's a small family owned Asian grocery store, with a hot foot counter too, serving up takeout Filipino food. Planned a visit here when otw back home from errands, but what I hadn't planned on was walking out with more than I anticipated. After browsing through every aisle in the store, I found some Japanese Sweet Yams for only $1.99/lb and happily picked 5 perfect potatoes. I thought that was going to be the end of it, but knew I'd be back again here in the near future. Just when I thought it was over: While waiting for a regular customer to check out & pay at the register, I noticed a sign that read "$10 minimum for ATM & credit cards" which I can totally understand why, being a small mom & pop shop. Since it was lunch time and didn't feel like making my own lunch (again) once back home or having a cold shake to cool me down, figured I'd maybe try some Filipino food instead. Because I read some reviews expressing it's very good and pretty good -- particularly the Pancit = noodles similar to vegetable chow main. Ordered a shall container that was packed deep inside the container and figured I'll keep it at that for my first time here. But then saw some veggies calling my name because I love orange Asian squash, along with the okra, green beans and carrots...and asked for a small container. Okay, now I was set (so I thought) and figured it'd keep it light with a vegan lunch on a blistering hot May day. But then I saw the Adobo chicken and it looked good so I figured I'd get a small order to sample for some more protein. Especially when Marlin, the sweet gal assisting me, promised it's not too salty nor spicy. Okay..so now I was really set with more than I had intended but figured it'd be my lunch and dinner too. But I'm partially conflicted with the food for this review because I don't usually eat much Filipino food. But I eat lots of Asian food, as it's one of my favorite food cultures, and happen to think I have good taste and know Asian food. And I know what's what when it comes to well-prepared food. First of all the service here is so warm & friendly. I felt very welcomed and comfortable here (even tho it was 105 degrees outside) yet the temp inside was just right. All 3 gals here greeted me with a friendly "hello" and smiles. Major bonus points. One of the first things I noticed was the store did not stink and smell one bit like other mom & pop asian stores I've been to before. There's a parking lot in the back, where I entered the store. There's also a front entrance on Date Palm Canyon. The Food Review: Most of the prepared hot food is served ala carte inside small/medium/large containers for takeout as there's nowhere here to eat. Everything is securely packaged with tender love & care for takeout. No drips no runs no errors. The veggies ~~ were very good and fresh. The taste was pretty good and the flavor was accented with fish sauce that was not expected. But it tasted like anchovies. I love all fish but not anchovies. The price seemed a little steep for the portion. But I get it and food costs. Pancit ~~ noodles were great. Veggies fresh and crisp. But the flavor was too salty for me and dominated by soy sauce. Portion was equal to value. I wasn't feeling the lemon juice packet that came with the noodles. I'm sure it cuts out some of the salt & soy sauce, but like I said, wasn't feeling it, and anything sour. Chicken Adobo ~~ the chicken was very dry and chewy and was like eating beef jerky. The sauce was extremely salty. Sauce was filled with too much corn starch and the leftovers for round 2 at dinner time, was thicker than jello. Portion equates to price point. Not sure if this was just an off day or this is the norm. But I probably won't be eating takeout food here next time. All day & night I could not stop drinking water from the sodium overload in all the food. But there will be a next time for some of their Asian grocery items and outstanding friendly customer service...and as mentioned to Marlin, I intend to be a regular customer.
