I should have called but didn't. At 11:20 AM the store was closed. There was a handwritten note on the door "closed early today 6:30 PM". Who knows how many days it had been there. I assume a family owns this store but a business can't be run successfully like this. They lost at least $100+ in sales. I will go to the large, Asian market a mile from my house and hope they have what I need. I'm unlikely to ever drive 1 1/2 hours round trip again.

Nice Filipino market with many Filipino groceries. I was surprised to see they have this type of…read moremarket in Bradenton. They have a handful of aisles full of different items grocery items for your cooking needs. They also get food from somewhere and you can order it ahead of time, or pick up on Saturday. Their Facebook sometimes lists what food they will offer. They had palabok noodles which I wanted which was about $9-10 and a huge serving. I didn't get to try it but next time I will. They do not have a kitchen. It is just a supermarket and the food is delivered to them.

Our first visit was a few weeks ago, right before closing, and they were so gracious -- they let us finish our meal while they were cleaning the restaurant, and never made us feel rushed. We ordered the pork adobo, lechon, and pinakbet, and damn, that food was GOOD! The only other places where I've had Filipino food this delicious were in LA or Jersey/NYC. My fiancé is Filipino and he gave it his full stamp of approval, which says a lot! Please support this business -- the owner is as sweet as can be. She was so gracious to us, and we ended up chatting with her for about 30 minutes. We genuinely enjoyed her company. My in-laws are visiting next month and we cannot wait to bring them to Manila Eats. They also do DoorDash, so spread the word!

First just a plate of pancit and lumpia, to make sure it tasted like I remembered. I ate the lumpia before I even got home. Then I ordered a lumpia tray for a dinner party with a Filipino family friend (she said lumpia was too much work) and everyone enjoyed it. Today my staff at USF celebrated APIDA/MENA month by introducing them to pancit and lumpia. It was awesome! They couldn't get enough. I will continue ordering from Pinay!

WOW is all I can say! This was the real deal! Absolutely delicious Filipino food that was bursting with flavor! The pancit was perfectly cooked and so flavorful with just the right bite in the noodles. The lumpia was one of the best I've ever had! Delicious filling and super crispy on the outside (zero grease!). The flan is to die for! I didn't but I could have eaten the entire thing myself! Give this small business a chance you will not be sorry!!

Chicken Adobo Sinigang Both could use a little more sour to really drive it home. Both still good but not better than Manila Eats. However, they do cook to order so that's a great perk. Only 2 tables, it's a small space with the rest of the square footage dedicated to retail. It was worth the drive from Brandon...

The nice lady in back of the front cash register took our order, and we sat down in the small restaurant area in the back and we ordered egg rolls (lumpia), and Bistek Tagalog. Both of us felt like both of the foods we ordered had were well cooked but could have used more seasoning. The store has an extensive variety of Phillipine dry foods, seasonings, snacks, and frozen food.

Most people wouldn't guess I'm half Filipino--my dad is white and clearly had a strong influence lol. I usually get mistaken for Hispanic, but nope... Mestiza The food is always solid. The lumpia is really good--crispy, flavorful, and that sweet and sour sauce takes it to the next level. They regularly have bangus and pompano, which I love. You can choose rice or pancit as your base, and the dishes rotate daily, which keeps things interesting. I've seen everything from sinigang, dinuguan, and menudo to afritada, tinola, mongo, and Bicol Express. They also have desserts like hopia, cassava cake, leche flan, and ube options. I'd love to see sapin-sapin there one day! It's close to both my job and home, which makes it super convenient. Definitely a spot I keep coming back to.

Great variety and the food came out fairly quickly!…read moreEverything we've had, we've liked... so if you like Filipino food but don't want to cook it yourself - stop by here! Super friendly, too. Sometimes when I drive by, it's closed, so I don't know exactly when the hours are. But I just call ahead to order and I've never had an issue with timing. Also, I wouldn't recommend eating there without headphones bc it's right by the interstate... but it's easy to just call ahead and do take out... otherwise, it's very loud and cars are constantly driving by. Sometimes when I'm waiting in school pickup line, I make an order and it's ready by the time I leave the car line!! Talk about convenience! Bottom line, this truck is another example of a local small business trying to make it! Please go check them out and help support them! Maybe if they can grow their business - they can afford a store front or a better location. Anyway, definitely worth trying and coming back soon!

Came here for Saturday evening dinner. We made reservation a few days in advance. Place was super…read morepacked and a little loud. Service was exceptional, actually ever helpful since the menu is huge and it's hard to know what to order, waiter was showing us pictures of the dishes. I did find the menu to be way too large and overwhelming. I would prefer to have it smaller. It took us awhile to figure out what to order. The vibe is very similar to the "meat market", pretty loud, old men on a gear with super young women drinking. We were seated far away in the corner and we were happy about that. They had non alcoholic cocktails, but server told us that they all super sweet and he recommended virgin mojito. Which was very good. We ordered miso cauliflower, which was great, and the portion was pretty decent. Crispy rice spicy tuna was amazing, we loved it. We also had salmon tartare and island maki sushi. Everything was exceptional. We got recommended to get a cheesecake and my husband loved it but I didn't like it at all. I was expecting more Asian style but it was super American overly sweet cheesecake. I don't like very sweet food, so it wasn't my thing. But they did have hot tea which was great to end the dinner with.

Full of flavor and perfectly balanced with mushrooms and other veggies. we did half and half of the crispy rice so 2 wagyu and 2 spicy tuna! It's not on the menu, but you can easily do the half/half style for more of a sampler. The wagyu was super soft and tender. I LOVED the adobo pork belly steamed buns. We also did half and half with 2 pork belly and 2 Korean fried chicken. The kfc was nothing special I would definitely rather get only pork belly steamed buns next time. The buns themselves were super fluffy and soft! Sushi was pretty mid. The other main dishes and dim sum carry, and would rather spend money on that than sushi. We got the midori, sake me crazy and a sweet potato caterpillar roll. All of it had too much rice in the roll and considering all the rolls are $21 and upwards it makes it feel cheap. Service was great! Good ambiance very lively.

The packaging was adequate. I ordered the BBQ pork, the lumpia, pancit bahon, and the fried fish. The pork and the fish came with rice. The portion size was good. Because the food delivery was delayed, the food was cold, but I won't count that against the food truck. Flavors were good. Textures seemed proper. I don't know that the pancit or the lumpia were the best I've ever had, but for the price, they were pretty good! All in all, I think I like Manila Eats better, but Maganda Cuisine has more operating days, so there you go.
