    THIS is the SPOT if you're looking for a Khmer market with authentic items that you literally can't…read morebuy elsewhere. Don't be surprised when coming here that the parking lot is diabolical on the weekends - good luck trying to find a spot ! I came here once on a weekend & I would not advise - even street parking is scarce. Your best bet is to come on a weekday & you'll most likely find a spot in the teeny lot on Gardenia. THe store only has 2 registers & it's a zoo on the weekends. If you have craving for Khmer food, come here... chances are they have it. Beef skewers, pickled veggies, nom kom, to name a few. If you're looking for fish sauce or oyster sauce that's specifically made in Cambodia, they have it which I haven't seen at any other Khmer market or asian market. For how little the store is, there's a lot jammed inside. I was happy to find kreung here as I am too lazy to make my own ! and another rare find, Monk Balm (think tiger balm), & other medicinal items. You know the place is legit when you try asking a worker a question & they know NO english. If you're unfamiliar best to bring a Khmer speaker with to help assist in any questions.

    This Khmer market is super small compared to the others located in Cambodia Town. Only reason we…read moreusually go there is because it's close to our home. You can find authentic Cambodian prepared foods, meats, noodles, fresh cut up mangoes or pineapples, and so much more. I've been craving their beef sticks and these are the best in my opinion. Something about the marinated ingredients they put in makes my mouth salivating. I bought 6 beef sticks for $12 which comes with papaya salad. A bit pricey, but nice to indulge once in a while. This market is where I buy all my Asian ingredients like soy sauce, hoisin, garlic chili, oyster sauce, and fish sauce. Can't forget the pickled mangoes in a jar. Absolutely my favorite to snack on during a hot day. Sweet at the same time sour goodness! Wai Wai noodles is a staple in our kitchen, therefore that's always in our shopping cart. Parking can get tight when it's busy, but people come in and out so you'll eventually find a space. Service does need improvement, but never had an issue with the cashiers. I will continue to go shopping there just because it's convenient for me when I need something quick.

    San Honoré Panderia at Island Pacific Supermarket…read more This is a review for San Honoré Panderia which is a bakery specializing in Filipino desserts located in Island Pacific Supermarket. My favorite items are their BIBINGKA and TAHO. Bibingka is a thick coconut rice cake with a cream cheese center. Their bibingka is baked and flavored to perfection! It has the right amount of sweetness and texture when you bite into it! So delicious! I typically eat it warm and pair it with my morning coffee. Taho is a sweet dessert made from soft tofu, brown sugar, and sago (tapioca pearls). You can have it warm or cold. Very simple and tasty. The bakery also has other options for desserts and serve fresh pandesal (sweet bread) daily. If you have a craving for Filipino dessert I highly recommend San Honoré Panderia!

    My husband and I were making Buko Pandan and Mango Sago desserts for a friend's party and I…read morecouldn't find all the ingredients at SF Supermarket, so my husband stopped by this Filipino chain grocery store to pick up the rest and we finally got everything we needed. This second visit, we also stocked up on a bunch of mangoes and ube ingredients, planning to make something different next time. The store itself is small but well-stocked. There's even a small deli inside. I noticed quite a few products and canned goods here that I've never seen at Vietnamese supermarkets like SF. The seafood and meat section seems to be one of their main strengths because it takes up a large area and everything looked pretty fresh. For dry goods and pantry items, prices are worth comparing with other Asian markets. Some Asian instant noodles and rice I saw were slightly more expensive than H Mart. Overall, even though the store isn't big, it carries most of the essential items you'd be looking for. Island Pacific Supermarket and Seafood 3300 Atlantic Ave, Long Beach, CA 90807

"Honesty is the best policy" my…read morefamily have supported Tropical African market for over three years and I've yet to write a review. The condition is a bit run down and unsanitary. PSA: please tidy up this store if you want customers to come. Pressure wash, paint job, fresh flowers, a mop & bucket... etc etc The store is a mess, dust everywhere. You're not greeted with a smile when you enter. Everything is outdated. Things are placed on the floor and shelves sloppily. Disorderly. The dust, the dust. I have question if the products sold there are expired due to the amount of dust on them. I absolutely love to support my Africans brothers and sister but at this point if you're not willing to upkeep the establishment please let it go to someone who can and will. It's evident the place is burdensome to the owner( patience) she never seems happy. The people who fill in for her constantly is not knowledgeable about the store or the products. ONLY reason we go was because of the distance, lens our support and not willing to go further. It's an eye sore when you walk in. Products are never always available, why wait till you completely run out items to now reorder and lose customer,?! you lost out business. Several times I went there and what I wanted wasn't available, when asked when it'll be there "their still waiting" after how many years are you going to get a RELIABLE source?! Unprofessional. Invest in your store.

We had a tree "back…read morehome" in Pampanga in front of our bahay kubo (tiny house with thatched roof of nipa, bamboo walls & floor). Pricey $13.99/lb My friend Vuoch recommended this store and was looking for tamarind to make authentic sinigang (sour soup) I've never encountered sour berries but they are sold here for $8.99/lb. I requested to try a piece and Lily, the kind shop manager offered a dip to try (dry chili n salt dip) My mouth is water falling as I write this, ooooh so sour!! But good! Manny, the other shop manager at the cashier is also nice. He said I just missed a chance of buying santol-- another fruit I have not encountered since 1985 or so. He said to return next week & call to save it for myself. This shop/market is small but packed with so much Asian groceries in a tiny space. Everything though is neatly arranged. Even the fruits & vegetables are fairly fresh as fresh can be considering how hard to come by these are. My lucky day! The tamarind just arrived in a box while I was perusing the shop. $8.99/lb-- still warm coz they were just freshly picked. I came back twice to buy more because my cousin will want some to dip in bagoong (salted preserved tiny shrimps). There is also freshly cooked foods for sale in plastic containers at the counter. I'm rethinking maybe I should've bought a few? There's always a next time. Mangosteen in bags also just arrived. $11.99/lb Thankfully I'm not a huge fan. Street parking & a dedicated parking lot, free. Will definitely return! I give them 5 stars for just having Camachiles & fresh tamarind AND that Lily & Manny being so nice!
