Three visits, 3 deliciously satisfying drinks (ube with boba, cantaloupe with lychee jelly, and vanilla latte with boba) and loads of ice cream flavors and Filipino delicacies. I would rather come here than go to Lollicup across the street. Plus, BOBA IS NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE! It's included with the drink price. Glad they're in the neighborhood. I'll be a regular here. read more

I was disappointed they mention restaurant was open on 12/26/2022 and when I went the restaurant was closed. You need to update your hours or update if your restaurant is closed. read more

Boba Teas of all kinds...quite the menu if you like bubble tea...ice cream...lots of traditional Filipino flavors too. Best Halo Halo in Stockton... They do quick appetizer type items like Lumpia (Filipino eggroll), Turon (Banana Lumpia), Fried Calamari, if you need a quick fix. Great alternative to the other "popular" smoothie location... read more

Good desert but all their workers need to be retrained in customer service. The owners have a lot to work on too. Rude and greedy. Why can't I get ice for my halo-halo on the side? Lol it's really so easy to put the ice in another cup.. read more

This food is great to me cause it just reminds me of what I use to eat when I was younger when I had my parents here.

This is probably our favorite place to have Filipino dessert. All 16 home made ice creams Filipino style..Sooooooooooo ONO. WE WILL SURELY BE BACK AGAIN. read more

I wish I can give no stars. Came here in the Summer 2021 & finally getting around to write this review. Lack of snack selection, they didn't have tamarind snack. I ordered a boba drink & the young cashier was rude & ended up making me the wrong drink & refused to fix it. She then asked the older workers & I'm assuming they were the owners a man & lady & they refused to fix my drink or refund me. Also this old lady with a cane was struggling getting cakes from the fridge & the young cashier girl didn't offer to help her, it's like she kept fetching the lady to go back & forth from fridge to find one she wanted. Very bad costumer service. RUDE RUDE RUDE. read more

Please do not support this business. Couple months ago the lady that owns the business was disrespectful to me over the phone. I was politely put an order for Turons and specifically told her to make it the way I like them. She got offended and told me don't buy it because it's all burnt and hung up. Then I called her back and asked her why she hung up on me , her replied was " Because you're so stupid!". On Sunday November 21, 2021my son placed an order for $20 Turin to take it to his friendsgiving potluck and told a lady on the phone he will pick up at 2:30pm and she said it will be ready for him. When he got there she said she sold it to someone else. My 16 year old son was hurt and felt disappointed. All she said was sorry she sold all out. read more

We ordered a tall milk tea and a tall ube slush. The employee was not very friendly and was reluctant to answer my questions. The ube slush was pretty good though! It was nice to be able to have that flavor because I can't find it most places. My brother also enjoyed his milk tea. Unfortunately, I didn't see the halo halo until after I ordered, otherwise I would have gotten it! read more

This delicious drink (Shake Taro) with Whip why because my friend w me went to Manila Express many time :) You guys can go to drink or eat that delicious! read more

This place has a huge variety of Filipino foods. I wish they had the price labels on them. For now I guess they only accept cash. The menu had all of the Filipino favorite dishes from adobo, pancit, and lumpia's. They also serve boba drinks and my favorite Filipino dessert halo halo. My mom and I shared the pancit palabok. It was okay. My mom said her recipe is better. Lol. The seating area is a little small with about 4 tables that sit 4 comfortably. The place was clean and 2 all gender bathrooms. I recommend coming here if you're visiting Stockton. read more

Drove out from Manteca to check out this spot on a weekday. Supposedly they were open. Got there and no sign no nothing just closed. So disappointing. read more

so here's the thing: this place has amazing drinks! their honey lemon tea is one of my favorites. the sizes are huuuuge, especially for the cost. it's on the sweeter side of things, just how i like it. their halo halo is great and the ice is pretty smooth. their market side is usually very well organized and carried all my favorite filipino snacks. but i tried the palabok here and i was greatly disappointed. the palabok sauce was either scarcely on the noodles or the noodles just barely soaked it in. i didn't even finish it because without the sauce because it was super bland. i wish the food here was better because i really love the drinks. read more

Manila Express - pancit palabok (you can see how the sauce doesn't even cover the noodles) - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Stockton, California

My go to place after picking up and before dropping wife to work. It may look cluttered or overstocked with boxes in some area, it has alot of items and products I seen overseas. Friendly service always with a smile and cook handing it to me all the time when finish gives me the home vibe. Awesome place. read more

Really good Lumpia and I enjoy their Halo-Halo. They also have a great variety of snacks and sweets for shopping

Pork sticks and rice very good wanted wings didn't have any today will be back to try chicken adobo they sold out of that as well maybe next time read more

After making a 3 hour drive from San Jose to Stockton (freakin' Traffic!) and rushing to our 15-minute picture-taking session, we needed a snack before making the drive back. I knew there were lots of Filipinos in Stockton, so we decided to see if we could find some Pinoy snacks. Halo Halo got rave reviews here, so we came to get our "mix-mix" fix. But, when we walked in, we noticed that this was no regular halo halo joint. Not only did they have halo halo, but they had many other desserts and snacks, including ice cream, slushies, milk shakes, bbq, siopao (pork buns), and siomai, to name a few. Now, let's start with that halo halo. It was good, but not great. I've had halo halo all over California and many more in The Philippines. While not traditional in terms of what people know as Halo Halo, my favorite is Razon's in PI. The siomai was decent, but I would skip the siopao the next time. It was severely lacking in flavor. Even with sauce. Now, because I wanted to get the flavor out of my mouth, I ordered some Turon to-go. Good thing I did, because this was my favorite. It was fresh and warm and the exterior was perfectly crunchy (albeit a tad too oily) and the banana was perfectly sweet. I've probably had 50 different turon in my life and this is probably in my top 10. Besides the food, they have a ton of snacks reminiscent of one's childhood in The Philippines. The selection is enormous as I've seen many varieties that I haven't seen in the local Seafood City or Island Pacific. The also carry many Goldilocks products and I looked at the expiration dates on a few of them and they all seemed very fresh. read more

I would give zero stars if I was able to. This place is a hot mess. Not only did people cut in front of me in line at the register, but then they paid with silver half dollars and the cashier didn't even know what it was. After waiting in line for quite a long time I placed an order for them to tell me they don't have that. Then take it off the damn menu? Or post some thing I have limited time on my lunch break and it was completely wasted on this place. This is not my first experience at this establishment as well. The last three times I have gone in they have either not had the items or gave me skimpy amounts of the items. The lumpia taste like it's frozen, not fresh, and most of the time it is fried to oblivion, it's convenient because I work right across the street but at this point I will not be returning it is an insult to Filipino food. They have teenagers running the registers that don't even know normal denominations of money. The pancit is halfway decent, but they never seem to have it when I come in. Waste of time and energy. Still hungry since I wasted my lunch break in line for NOTHING. read more

Yesterday I ordered palabok and lumpia. I decided not to refund my food. The food is horrible!! It doesn't taste or look like a palabok. Shredded chicken or pork and fried egg in the palabok. It taste like sardines. That's not how you cook palabok.Lumpia it was ok but not tasty. The cashier is friendly. I'm not trying to be rude. I'm telling the truth. read more

Ordered a Thai tea (snow) and ended up receiving a Thai tea (non snow) drink back. I promptly returned it back to get it redone and received it within less than 2 min which was nice but I got it back and it tasted like plastic instead of Thai tea, not sweet and rather bitter. So then I had to get a new Thai tea drink the THIRD time and got it without snow hoping it would legitimately taste better and it did but it had no ice in it...I have never had an issue like this before but today just had to be the day, I don't want to be so harsh on my rating only because I come here often and I actually enjoy their food. As a reminder next time i'd enjoy if they'd actually put their time and effort into their drinks. Considering this employee seems new I'm sure that was most likely the issue. read more

Recently called this store on New Year's Eve around 5pm to see if they had any fried bananas and one gentleman said that I needed to go there to see if there is any. He simply couldn't give me an answer. With a very rude tone of voice and said he didn't know and if I wanted it I needed to go there. My sister called a few mins after me and spoke with a gentleman that said they had some but he hesitated to answer me and there was a slight pause then he hung up. So I decided to call again and lady picked up and she said they didn't have any. To my understanding they were closing early, they could of simply said that they were closing soon instead of picking up the phone and lying and being rude. Customer service is important and if you don't have that then you have no business serving people. Very disappointing. Food is good but lacks customer service. read more

If you from the bay don't bother with their Toplsilogs. I had the one with spam and longanisa and they were both over cooked and dry. The drinks are good but the food is not good quality at all. read more

I ordered bungus fish and rice plate then minutes later I decided to order a side longanis but fat at register said could because I should have ordered it all together that nonsense right I going to complain but I decided just walk way let the public know this the kind of services given at this place and could tell why this happened the owner is Chinese and in Philippines they act the same way they make up these stupid senselessly rule so if come here make sure you order all together or at once or they will reject your order straight up dumbies. read more

Has a lot of fast food choices and grocery items have multiplied so much and the service of Philip which is the owner is always superb

Very clean, neat store. Customer service is not so great or welcoming. Cashier never once smiled at anyone during the 15 minutes or so that my friend and I were in the store. Since this was our first experience, and not at all familiar with the food or menu, it would have been nice to have a friendly person to help us choose off the menu. I ended up choosing a blended coffee, since I figured I knew what coffee was. read more

Manila Express & Karaoke on West Ln in Stockton, California. After dinner tonight with my tribe. We were heading to get some ice cream at Cold Stone. But the kids wanted to mix things up a bit. I remembered my friend *Chris H* telling me about Halo halo. So I did a yelp search and found this place. Thank you Chris H. I showed the kids the yelp pictures and our journey began. We arrived and the place was pretty bright and they had some techno or trance music playing in the background. The older gentlemen that works there was grooving to the music while he was cleaning the shop. This is my type of spot :) Dude is really nice and cool. The front counter girl was very helpful, I didn't get her name but I did like her bandana she was wearing. The kids ended up ordering some ice cream single scoop for $1.99 each and I got the Halo halo for $3.95. I didn't know how to eat it so thew front counter girl told me I need to crush it up amd swirl it around. I was given a straw and a spoon. My kids had a blast playing around with the Halo halo. So when it was finally mixed up I tried it. I started to drink it then as the pearls inside started to go up the straw all eyes were on me. They all wanted to try Halo halo as they were finishing up their ice cream. They did enjoy the ice cream here too. They sell chips galore up in here and all types of munchies. The pork buns caught my eyes 4 buns for $6 and the banana chips caught my youngest daughter's eye. My other two were just scanning thier menu on what to try on our next visit. On our next visit I want to sit outside on their little patio. Great customer service tonight by the two that were working tonight. My children had a wonderful time and that's all that matters to me. Doing what Dad's do, spending time with their kids. Yeah we'll be back very soon, since my son wants to try Jollibee next door. Vincent D *VD* Enjoying the simple things in life. read more

We were headed to Jolly Bee and found out they closed. On our way back to the car, we decided to go left to check this place out. We ordered for take out steamed siomai and cook to order langonisas. Well, both items did NOT disappoint, the siomais were hot and "tender" and the langonisas were cooked to "my" liking. Also, the lady owner is really friendly and honest. Character is really important. So this will be one of our goto places. read more

The only place in town (that I am aware of) that sells Filipino ice cream by the scoop. I LOVE Manila Express. I crave it all the time. You can easily ask them to make you a shake out of their ice creams and sometimes if you ask they will make it fresh too. For example, you can ask for an avocado shake made from ice cream OR you can ask them to make it out of fresh avocado. Add some boba and you're all set! Want a cold dessert that's even more Filipino? Get yourself a Halo-Halo here. Their halo halo is better than the halo halo at the Jollibee next door. Trust me. All their Filipino ice cream is Magnolia brand (AKA the best Filipino ice cream brand). My favorite ice cream flavors are buko salad, ube, mango, buko pandan, Thai tea, basically all of 'em. Did you like the ice cream so much you want to take it home? No problem. They sell Magnolia brand ice cream by the tub. Tubs are 3 for $21 which is a steal because everywhere else, a tub of Magnolia brand ice cream is $8-9 and up. In addition to Filipino ice cream, they sell American ice cream, finger foods (popcorn chicken), Filipino snacks (turon, chips, candy, Goldilocks brand goodies), cake, and even Balikbayan boxes! Manila Express has a lot to offer. read more

2 words UBE SHAKE!!! Or taro for non Filipinos, satisfied my nostalgic taste buds. The shake was creamy and delicious with pieces of actual ube in it. Usually when I get taro shake here in nj/ny area it's not real taro it's the powdered kind covered up with lots of cream. Always leaving me disappointed. I wish we has this place here in jersey so I can just get my taro shake fix anytime I want. This place is also filled with Filipino snakes and pastries...just a stop shop for sweet goodness. Will definitely stop by here again the next time I'm in the stockton area read more

Halo-halo! Really? Awesome! I'm in. I've seen some very simple versions of halo-halo at other places. However, Manila Express make their halo-halo as decadent cooling desserts with all sorts of tasty fillings, shaved ice, and two flavors of your choice ice cream. Yum! For aesthetics there's not much to say positive about the atmosphere or decor. There's limited indoor seating, a really loud display refrigerator for the pre-packed ice cream/ice cream cakes, and many stacks of over stock boxes in plain sight. The pleasant personalities of the employees with great customer service goes a long, long way to make up for appearance of the shop. Even though there were many people to serve, they delivered with smiles and quick efficiency. It does appear to take the one-stop-shop concept to the extreme; and, believe it or not, it really works. Remember or keep in mind, it's a Pinoy business catering to Pinoy and Pinoy treat lovers. Lol Will I be back? Definitely. Will I recommend? Well you just read my Yelp review. ;-) read more

Now that Jollibee is gone, which was next door and closed down around Christmas time, Manila Sunset has offerings that make up for their absence. They don't have spaghetti or burgers, but there are rice combo meals for a decent price including bangus, tinapang, and sisig for those hardcore Filipino cravings and the main staples like longanisa and tocino with lumpia. They have Filipino ice cream, cake, and snacks so it is a one-stop shop. Get your milk tea or smoothie with boba fix, too. read more

Manila express used to be a favorite for me and my family. They are the only place in town that serves filipino ice cream by the scoop and they also used to be the only place that made filipino ice cream cakes. It was my grandpas birthday and he loves ube. I used to get ube ice cream cakes from here all the time and when I called, a man from here told me that they still sold them but they were being sold pre made in the store freezer. I was told that I didnt need to place an order, so I went in to look for an ube ice cream cake. Keep in mind, I drove all the way from Sacramento. I asked the guy working if they still had any more left since I didn't see any in their freezer. He then told me that they no longer sold them. They only sold regular cakes from Goldilocks. I wish he would've told me that when I called so that I didnt have to drive all the way out to Stockton. Aside from this incident, I do have to say that their boba drinks are all powder based and you can definitely taste it and their snacks taste like old oil and your popcorn chicken or whatever will have hints of whatever else has been fried in that oil. I will say that this place has been convenient for when I crave Filipino ice cream and dont want to buy a tub of it for $8. I can just get a scoop here for a few bucks. Although Manila express has been somewhat of a letdown , Its nice to know that I can get filipino ice cream by the scoop here. read more
