Ali Baba International Foods is one of the few places I can find Karoun Yogurt Drink in SA…read more My search for this drink started during a trip to Turkey where I traded my ice tea addiction for a Yogurt obsession when having a Middle Eastern meal or dessert. One bottle usually will satisfy my needs , while at the same time bring my memories back to a country far-far away. I also have found spices and nuts that are not commonly found at the local supermarket.

The next time I went and told the manager the spice I was looking for and he made fun of my pronunciation saying he didn't know what I was talking about and then told me where to look. Hate to say he exemplified the male stereotype for his culture. That won't stop me from shopping at this store as I can find what I need at a fraction of the cost compared to Amazon.

This made me very uncomfortable so I just quickly looked for what I came for and then left. I've never seen such disgusting and disrespect come from just a question ever. And to add to that, a lot of items were expired. This makes me really sad because this is the closest Asian market to me and I love Vietnamese food and boba :(

I went here today (6/26/26) and was able to find everything I needed! They have such a great…read morevariety of products, and the woman who checked me out was incredibly kind. She even helped me find the items I was looking for. They carry so many authentic foods and ingredients that I used to eat and cook with when I lived in China, and it brought back so many wonderful memories. It honestly made me feel so nostalgic. To the people in the reviews saying it "smells"... that aroma is from authentic Chinese ingredients and spices. If you're not familiar with them, it might be different than what you're used to... but that's part of what makes this place so special! I just finished eating everything I bought, and it was absolutely delicious. I'm so full and so happy with my visit! If you're looking to support a wonderful small Asian grocery store with authentic products and genuinely kind people, I highly recommend stopping by. 10/10--I will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much!

Pips in San Antonio is the go-to place for the most authentic Filipino halo-halo I've ever tasted…read morein the United States. While there are many Filipino restaurants in Washington, none have truly captured the essence of this beloved dessert. Pips' halo-halo is a delightful symphony of flavors and textures. It includes all the classic ingredients, such as colored crystal boba, coconut jelly, ube ice cream, and beans. However, what sets Pips apart is their homemade leche flan, caramelized saba bananas, corn, jackfruit, and a medley of other Filipino treats. And let's not forget the perfect balance of sweetness that complements the flavors without overpowering the palate. My grandmother was so impressed with Pips' halo-halo that she insisted we return the very next day! It's no wonder that Pips has become a local favorite.

The prices are very reasonable and the food was delicious. My wife had the barbacoa as well as a beef fajita taco. The beef fajita was cut with the grain of the meat so it made it a little chewy but no biggie. My Carne guisada with cheese and bacon tacos were top notch and very tasty. I would definitely recommend this little gem to anyone. The owners are very personable and friendly. We will definitely make several returns. Thank you.
