We're not usually into this type of food, but we do like Dubai chocolate so we thought it would be…read morecheaper to make some ourselves rather than pay $20 for a bar at Nom Nom Stop. Came in and yes, they have Kataifi and tahini paste, but they did not have the pistachio butter. We grabbed what we could as we admired all the lavosh bread near the cashier. On our way out the door, we saw they had labne. Sis grabbed some and the shop owner saw her delight and recommended another brand which she was happy to also purchase. It's a small ethnic store, not a gigantic T&T or anything, but I love stores like this because they have enough of what they need for the clientele they serve. We will definitely return for more of that labne.

I came here to grab something quick to eat as I had to fast for an appointment nearby. They had a…read moreclearance section right in front and I grabbed a few cup ramens cause I would have those for my lunches at work. The store is kinda organized but also not as much as H-mart. I was short on time so I was trying to find everything I needed and I learned that they have prepared foods in the top left corner of the store. They had japchae, gimbap, fish patties, and much more. I grabbed some frozen seafood soup and a drink. The store is brightly lit and clean for the most part. The service here is friendly and polite. It was cool that they had a drawstring bag as their bag. Although if you have weird shaped products then it isn't the most comfortable if you have to walk around with it. But a fantastic store with any needs for Korean or other Asian goodies at a good price!

Better quality and prices compared to hmart and paldo all the way. Booban for the win.read more

The front bakery is always my kiddos favorite since they were in Korea. If you happen to go to the middle of the super market and see the booth selling taitaki (fish shape of snacks), please do stop by. His taiyaki is the best so far I have in Washington state. It seems pricy, but size-wise, it is worthy to get because of the quality. Over all, if we miss Korean food, this is the place we always stop by to satisfy our tummies.

East Asia Supermarket is very close to my house and is relatively easy to find ingredients if we…read moreare wanting to make an Asian dish at home or a snack that comes from this region of the world. While they do have a lot ingredients that meet our needs on most occasions they sometimes don't have what we are looking for. It may be due to ingredients for recipes that are in parts of Asia they don't cover here or something that may be very specific that doesn't have a lot of customer demand for them to carry. Other supermarkets around town may have these things too so keep that in mind. The people that run the store are always very nice and pleasant. Occasionally you may run into a staff member where you come across a communication barrier with language. But they are eager to please and if you are patient they will help you to the best of their ability.

Small family ran restaurant. Please remember when visiting this store, it is small and looks as…read morethough a new standup. The shelves are not full by far, the products are not a huge variety, and the products are not all high-end quality. They have a seafood deli (Kim Chee bar) and this is probably their most impressive section of their store. Everyone here is very nice, but again, new small store. I think with enough support, this place could be great. Provide input to the management for suggestions of products they should consider carrying. If you cannot find anything you want here, H-Mart and Paldo World in only five minutes up the street. Give these guys a shot and support our local community!

Tried Paraiso Native in Tacoma and it was such a great experience! We ordered the dinuguan, chicken…read moreBBQ skewers, and sinigang, and every dish was absolutely delicious--so comforting and full of flavor. The sinigang had the perfect balance of sour and savory, and the BBQ skewers were cooked just right. We couldn't leave without dessert and ordered the turon--oh my, it was AMAZING. Crispy, sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal. The service was incredible--truly can't beat Filipino hospitality. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. There's also a store connected to the restaurant, which was super convenient. Such a welcoming place with great food and even better service. Definitely coming back!

My boyfriend tried Paraiso a month ago and hasn't stopped singing praises for how much food you get…read moreand how delicious everything is. As a Filipino who has family that makes restaurant quality food, he is picky with his food but he said the flavors here are pretty close to how his family cooks it. I am always on the hunt for good kare kare and I saw they serve it so I was already super excited to go. We arrived around 1ish pm and we were able to find parking and enter inside where we saw three tables occupied with happy customers enjoying their meals. They have small tables and large tables, but definitely plan ahead as most of these tables seat 2-4 people. They have a section at the left end of the order area where you drop off dirty dishes in bins as well as a condiments section. They were playing some American pop songs that were remixed but it fit the vibe of the place. Additionally, they do have a grocery side which I definitely want to check out next time I'm there. We were greeted warmly by the owner who was cheerful and patient with us. My boyfriend got their longganisa and lumpia and he was asked if he wanted adobo sauce on his rice which I thought was neat! Now, here is where my complaints from as I was not offered the same treatment on my rice, told that they aren't serving kare kare, they don't have labels for the food at front, and some of the food was cold. I got the pork sinigang and dinakdakan which was pretty good and flavorful. They do have pastries, desserts and other offerings as well. It seemed like there are many regulars who come often as the owner would recognize and have friendly conversations with them. He also bid us farewell when we left while he was taking a quick lunch break, and I thought that was really sweet.
