I usually stop by Jofen after the gym to pick up some hot Filipino food, which is adjacent to the grocery portion of the store. They have a lot of different varieties, where I'll usually stick to lumpia, chicken/pork bbq skewers, and some of the desserts. I have always had a positive experience with the food and the staff is very pleasant every time I come in. They also have a catering menu for those interested in hosting parties - Best, Charlie read more

My go-to Filipino store here in Naperville. The ladies in the "karinderya" section are awesome . Love the Lechon kawali , pancit and my husband love their carioca treats . read more

This is a small market with a lot of Filipino snacks, there's a portion of the grocery store where they sell hot Filipino food and desserts. It gets super disorganized when its busy and my husband and I witnessed a customer who placed an order for eggrolls prior and when she got there, they didn't have anything for her so she waited and looked extremely upset. The only bit of criticism I have is to tend to your customers more carefully because I'm sure the lady needed that order for a special occasion and the fact it wasn't ready would make anyone upset. read more

Small Asian grocery store that has what you need. Rice, noodles, vegetables, butcher shop with fish and meat, eggs, sauces, snacks, can goods, frozen section with wonton or eggroll wrappers, potstickers, etc. They also have a hot food counter. Rice and 2 side or noodles and 2 sides combos about $10 to $12. They have empanadas for $2.50 each and a variety of asian appetizers. There was so much to choose from. Food is delicious and at a great price. read more

Friendly and respectful very helpful making choices recommended by my coworkers and everything tastes good

If you need Filipino grocery and foods one of the best place to go and prices are also good

AUTHENTIC And ready to take home Philippine food. The employees are always very polite, in the food is always just as I remember eating in the Philippines. You can dined in, or take out ready to go meals either for individual or family size. Adobo, Kaldereta, Pakbet, fried fish and many street food favorites from the Philippines. The restaurant is located inside the Asian grocery store which also has many hard to find imported Asian specialty foods. read more

Great selection of Filipino Food. Clean place and very helpful workers. Nelsie helps me a lot. Thank you. You need to enter your name on their iPad by the counter which ensures everyone is helped in an orderly manner. read more

great food !! very delicious and affordable. Highly recommended. I am 25 miles away and yet we come here for out catering and daily needs.

authentic & "DABEST" filipino food for a cheap price! Unimart got too expensive, and the quality was , so this was WORTH the drive!!

I love this store. The food is really good and the employees are nice and friendly. They have a lots of selection for Filipino food and Filipino yummy dessert. read more

This is for the takeout only. Was recommended by a friend, however I will not take recommendations from her anymore. Called on a Thursday at 5pm. I asked for lumpia and pancit, she paused each time and responded that they were sold out. Huh? Everyone knows lumpia are made ahead of time and reheated, how are they sold out 3 hours before close? Pancit was out too, so I asked if they had curry, guess what sold out, huh no rice either. Save your time and avoid this place. read more

This is the place where we go to for our groceries They have most or all that you will need to cook filipino food. Selections are awesome! So that is a 5 star right there but this review is for the take out section. The restaurant side of it is below par compare to other filipino restaurants nearby but the price is a lot cheaper. We ordered a small menudo to go for $6.99 and as we start eating, mostly carrots and potatoes. Not sure what the ratio is with the ingredients and meat with their dishes but definitely this one was not an even one. It is a hit or miss with this place, like we love their lumpiang shanghai and pinakbet but fail on the others. There are other three restaurants in the area, FM Asian food mart and Unimart are by Woodridge, and South Sea in Bolingbrook. Try each one and see which one meets your taste buds. Happy Eating! read more

Jofen Oriental - Menudo - Grocery Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

So my first time there and I went straight to the hot food section for carry out. Really good food, not sure what I got, I just asked for noodles with to main sides. So I hope to review at another time when I can figure out the names of the items I was eating! Lol, sorry but it's good food at good prices. read more

I usually go here like 6-8 times a year for Filipino food. The food is decent. May 15, 2021, I shop here with a friend. The owner (based on what she's saying) is lambasting one worker about his not doing his assignment in an aisle. There's some 15 - 17 customers in the store and we all can hear it. It was so bad i was tempted to approach her to stop it. This lasts for ~10 minutes. Then probably after 5 minutes that the lady was done, a guy (the lady's husband i think?) also did the same to the same worker. On and on he goes. I was so uncomfortable. He followed the worker and kept on saying stuff to him in a degrading way. The worker might be new or might be even new to the US...and he's a Filipino. My point is, whatever the issue was, talk to your worker in the office. Not in front of the customers. Your worker is a person too, like you. Would i come back here? Nope. It was a horrible experience for us. read more

I went in to see if they had lumpia. They did. Not only that a regular customer by the name of Ben - was so nice and helped me out. Told me I could also find them in the frozen section. So I was able to find both frozen and fresh made from their take out spot. Really enjoyed it since I had been craving it for a long time. read more

Tried this resto fur the first time. Lots of selections and has frequent fresh batch of food. Pretty busy on a weekend lunch hour but organized. Reasonably priced. Would be nice if the dining area was more spacious. read more

Craving their turon! Planning to make an extra trip from Chicago to enjoy their offerings, so worth it.

Today I went and got ginataan and karioka, flavor of the ginataan was bland and the bilo bilo seemed as if it were sitting for days. They were hard and stale on the inside. Bilo bilo should be soft and chewy. The karioka seemed like they refried old ones and added them to the new batch. There was one that was hard on the inside. Grocery store side is well stocked. read more

This review is for the restaurant, not the grocery store. The grocery is ok. We started coming here a year ago. Food quality is below average, similar to Seafood City. Ukoy and lumpia - so-so at best. I've had streamed crabs and found a few that had gone bad. To their credit, they refunded. Portions are small. For example, if you order lechon kawali, say you have 6 to 7 pieces, sauce provided is only enough for 1 or 2 pieces. Price is not bad but, for the quality, should be lower. I recommend South Sea Asian Cuisine, 5 minutes away - better food, better price and better, friendlier service. read more

I take my mom here once in a while, people are nice and she likes the food. The food is good plus it's not so crammed like Seafood city. I'm not much for Lechon but I eat it here it's really good. read more

I was there today around 1 pm March 8,2021 and heard a man which I believed the owner of the store yelling hard to one of the employees. I was so shocked and disturbed of what I heard and witnessed of how this employer treating his worker as if he is yelling to a little kid. I cannot even focus looking on what to buy because I was so afraid of the loud voice of this man. I felt so bad with the worker because I know he felt very embarrassed infront of the customers. I would suggest to the employer that next time if he has issues or complaints to his workers to talk to them in private regardless of the situation, Whatever the reason why he got mad at that employee he doesn't have the right to talk to him that way In public I've been a customer at this store for a long time and witnessing this incident today I was very disappointed. read more

I usually come here to pick up jerk seasoning paste, and I found it all expired and/or leaking. Eew. They need to learn to rotate stock. They do have a hot bar full of interesting ethic foods, as well as a large selection of frozen items, but I sharply question the cleanliness of this place. read more

Best lumpia. Best takeout food! I wish they would build a website with their menu on it. read more

This is the place to go if you're looking for hot Filipino food in/near Bolingbrook. FM Asian mart and Unimart are extremely expensive compared to this place and the food quality is better. This place has plenty of choices for snacks, groceries and hot food, compared to the other two close by Asian stores. The prices are not bad they are far cheaper than the two closer stores. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Not a fan. I'm Vietnamese and from Dallas, this place has minimal inventory of what I expected.

Ordered two trays of Pancit and Palabok. Each have a few small pieces of meat. It's all noodles. Not worth it! Never ordering there again.

I don't know about the rest but I love their tapa!! Right marination and cooking style.

Was excited to order food but not a big selection. Lots of grocery items tho!!! :) Will be back! read more

Wow UniMart can suck it compared to Jofen's selection, customer service, carry-out food and prices! If you're the southwest suburbs and you're looking for lumpia shanghai or kare-kare, come here!!! read more

This review is for the grocery store portion and I love it. I went there for the first time today and it was pretty easy to find everything I was looking for as well as pick up a few things I was interested in along the way. The employees were extremely nice, definitely will be back. read more

When I'm in my hometown and I'm craving filipino food I like to go here! I can buy all my favorite ingredients here...they also sell awesome familiar filipino dishes like adobo, pancit, fried milk fish.. wow I'm drooling right now! They give you extremely large portions for their carry out food and are super friendly! I can't wait to be back in town now that I'm thinking of this place. read more

This store/take-out is behind Portillo's the google map is no help at all. The take-out was tasty. The other customers were helpful in picking it out, but I suspect it will all be good. It is a normal ethnic store with lots of interesting stuff. It had the miso I was looking for, so I was happy. read more

I'm Filipino and this is the grocery store I go to when I need pancit noodles, fish sauce, soy sauce, lumpia wrappers, etc. This place is like every other small Filipino grocery store that I've ever been in -- small, dark, kind of smells weird, but it has everything you need if you're Filipino. I've gotten the lumpia here and it's OK -- does the trick when you're craving lumpia but homemade is always better. They have Filipino baked goods here, like mocha cakes and hopia. I stocked up on bottles of Sriracha here once and I think one of them was already open when I got home, which was kind of gross, but that won't keep me from coming back. read more

When I fly back to Chicago to see my family - we stop here for Filipino food. I've never shopped the store but we get a large amount boxed up to-go. Around 9am they were making everything so it was hot + fresh. Delicious! read more

I like how close asian store is from my house and have what we need. But, don't ever buy their hot foods. Their food is dirty and looks like it has been reused for several times. One time they gave me free food for ordering several hot foods. No wonder it's free it's nasty and super dried up food that no one will buy or take. So yeah, never again. Two star for groceries only. Hot foods just ruined my review. read more

Small, dark and smells weird... I love it! Large selection of dried noodle soups, spices and sauces. There is a nice selection of cooked hot food... lots of fish.. like the whole damn fish head and all fried up and ready to eat. For the adventurous nosher... you can find it here. read more

Great place to get my rice. I love their take out hot foods too. Pretty much the only place I go to get Filipino food. I'm going to miss the place though since I'm moving to Arizona :(. I hope I find an oriental grocery as great as they are. read more

Went here with my wife (filipina) they have lots of good things. BUT my 1 star rating is because the way the employee treated us, putting cardboard over the coolers, telling us they closed at 8. I mean we did not plan to keep them open , but i thought it was VERY RUDE. It was about 5-10 before closing when we entered the store, we ate next door at Taste of Orient, which i enjoyed very much (Bicol Express) yumm yumm. read more

I LOOOOVE coming here to buy groceries or to get some good cooked filipino food. Just like grandma makes good home cooking. And the people are so nice and help you right away as well as say hi to you when you walk through the door. Very friendly. And if they don't have an item they don't carry you can always ask them and they can try to carry the item =) wow thinking about the food is making me hungry. I'm thinking about stopping in there for lunch today and carry out! read more
