I struck gold with this oriental mark! Do not be fooled by their size; the number of sauces, condiments, frozen items, drinks, and other items they have managed to display, neatly, I may add, is amazing. We got two free drinks with our purchase yay! The service was friendly and personal. They answered questions, very family friendly. Our family of 14 wanted to have an Asian dinner, and we were able to do so under budget thanks to the goodies we found here. So excited and can't wait for my next shopping trip. read more

Love this place. Thankfully there's a Filipino market somewhat close by. Come here to get my lumpia wrappers, sweet chili sauce, pancit seasoning packets, banana ketchup, or ube jam. Heads up though!!! They moved! Came to Bowie location to find a note on the door. read more

Palawan Oriental Market - They've moved!! - Grocery Near Me - Bowie, Maryland

I just moved to the area and was so excited to see that this place exists. The entrance is hard to find because it's on the backside of the strip of shops, but if you drive around the karate place you can find it. There was a good variety of foods here, including some dishes that were ready-made to be reheated at home. Pricing seemed fair, and I'm excited to try the siopao! The aisles are a little tight, but it feels like all the other small Filipino markets I've been in before. I'm glad to find a local place I can pick up things like furikake and longanisa and all kinds of sauces and soup/stew mixes besides driving the hour+ south to visit my hometown's Filipino shop OR having to rely on Amazon's delivery. read more

This was a great find. I've been cooking Asian dishes a lot recently. They often call for very specific ingredients. This spot had almost everything I needed. Very Reasonably priced also! The guy at the register was also very helpful. I would definitely recommend! read more

Palawan Oriental Market - a variety of food items - Grocery Near Me - Bowie, Maryland

Doesn't exist. Yelp should take this down. I tried to go there because of yelp. There's some kind of horrible smelling market there, like a lot of poorly preserved, rotting "foods", but not an Asian market. read more

This Filipino grocery/convenience store has a decent amount of selection. The main reason I went initially was for Eden cheese for a space dish since the other markets in the area did not have it at the time. The store is not crammed super tight like other markets can be and the prices are typical for a Filipino store. You can pick up all usual staples along with some shipping box options if you need. However, the real trick is finding the place. It is not visible from the main road and the front parking lot. You need to go on around the backside of the building to see the store and park. Can you find all of these items at a larger international grocery store along with some lower prices? Probably... but if you live in the Bowie/Lanham area, it is a pretty convincing place to go to not travel and wait in the packed lines that are often in the other stores. 3 Stars... read more

Great Stop and Shop store for all your sauces, dumplings, egg rolls, fish and rice products. Tired of waiting in line for lottery tickets? Get them quickly here. Best kept secret in Bowie. A little hard to find if you don't know the area. Palawan is behind where the Centrone's pizza place use to be. Only a skip and jump from the Lidl supermarket on the "Old Route 450." read more

We had a good visit here. It is always funny how the internet pictures make these mom and pop places look really big. We found all of the spices and cooking items that we needed and I think the prices were better here than other places. It is organized and the place is crowded if more than five people are shopping, haha. It was worth the trip and we will go again when we need to stock up. read more

After my GPS said I had arrived, I could not figure out how to find this place. I am grateful for everyone's comments on Yelp saying it is hidden in the back of the shops. And behind the shops it looks like nothing is there. I was going to walk to the back but decided to drive behind the shops to see if there was any parking. There is! A lot of it actually. And there are some right in front of this market. Makes it easier if you're buying a lot of stuff. Lordis is the owner. As soon as I walked in she greeted me with a wonderful smile. I told her I needed a few things to make a recipe for mango and sticky rice. They had all the ingredients and she was even kind enough to walk around the store and show me everything. I also ended up buying other items. They have a lot of great frozen and grocery items. I am very happy I found this place and I hope to come back again. read more

Since first reviewing, I've never again experienced the issue with the business hours. As a matter of fact, I've met and come to like the owner, Des. She's genuine, warm, and always really understanding of my 2 rambunctious boys and my 89-year-old granny. They offer sweets from Gwenie's pastries (sister of Kuya Ja's) now along with the pandesal from Antonio's and prepared foods from other local Filipino eateries. The store was recently redone and feels more spacious, though it's always been well-organized & clearly labeled. Des has recently implemented a frequent visitor program that only needs your phone number (great because I always left my punch cards at home). Very happy now! It's wonderful having a store like this so close to home. read more

Looking for Pad Thai noodles? Great but hopefully, next time, they will have a better selection of stir-fry sauces. This is a small grocery store and a real jewel to have in Bowie; plus it's not far from Hwy-50. Parking is free beside the other stores. Stop by and help support a community speciality store! read more

Lourdes was SO incredibly helpful! I tried a bigger chain mart but I didn't get the service and product I was looking for. Lourdes was helpful, friendly, and made suggestions that were helpful. It is a small but mighty little market! Great place for the Filipino stuff my mom always used. read more

This is a small oriental market located behind Afrik market and the church in that little shopping center. I had a shopping list looking for all the essential dressings/sauces and found everything I was looking for and more. Also they have fresh bread and food cooked on Friday's. This is a Filipino market but it's pretty broad in terms of what they carry. It was mostly dried goods & freezer items but it's convenient and right here in Bowie. Glad I found this place! read more

For a market of its size, they carry SO many products! This is THE best Asian Market in the area! They carry primarly Filipino goods but have no shortage of Japanese and Korean selections. This market shows they put real thought into what they cary in the space they have. I've found specialty items that even the big Korean markets don't stock. Why drive all the way to Southern PG when Palawan probably has what you need right here?! read more

A small specialty grocery store selling a specific food group. Check out the homemade ready food at the counter.

Great family owned Filipino grocery. The lady who owns it is super friendly. Was able to find many foods/treats that my sister in law, who is Filipino, likes but has a hard time finding. read more

Store is small, not a big selection. The customer service though is excellent. Extremely polite, friendly and helpful.

A little hard to find, get in the general area and call as we did. They carry most items you'd be looking for, and told us they had cooked food to go on Fridays. They pack an amazing variety into a small space. If you forget to call them, they are on the back side if a small strip mall. Go in the alley with the church to your left and turn right. read more

This is a small shop but it stocks a wide variety of items. The staff is always pleasant and helpful.

How did I not know this little gem was back here all this time. They carry some of my favorite snacks. My new go to spot! The cashier was super friendly and answered any questions my son had. I'll definitely be back again read more

Great Filipino store business to support in bowie. Just wish that they have a sign outside the building cuz their store is inconspicuous from annapolis road. I like the people who run the business. They're often nice every time we go here. They also have ready to served filipino dishes that i like to buy when I'm here like pinakbet, fried tilapia and paksiw na bangus. read more

The new owner is such a nice lady--very friendly! The store has a variety of Filipino/Asian goodies. Lots of options to choose from. It's a little difficult to find at first because it's located on the opposite side of the building, but they have everything that I need. A regular and a happy customer here! read more

Great staff, super accommodating. Very clean. Called on the phone and they had our items waiting when we got there. The cute shop is located behind the shopping center so just drive to the back of the building and there is parking. read more

Lots of Filipino/Asian food selection. The owner, Lourdes is very nice and friendly, great customer service. Well arranged products, easy to locate, and reasonable/affordable prices. read more

Very nice to find an Asian market while I am in Bowie for a few weeks. Not sure where I could of found some miso paste elsewhere in Bowie. The store is small and not easy to find the first time. It is in the back and there are no signs out front. Staff was helpful and friendly. read more

This little gem is awesome! I honestly don't know how they make business as it's behind all the shops. It has all the weird Asian stuff you simply can't find at regular stores. I would highly recommend read more

Tiny little Filipino market that's impossible to find because it's in back of the building facing Annapolis Road. Standard Asian staples like noodles, fish sauces, rice, snacks, as well as a few hot food items. You can find a more sprawling selection at H Mart in Laurel, but this is more convenient for Bowie folks. Run by some really nice folks. They used to be located off 197, but moved here a couple years ago. read more

Great selection of rare/unusual products and a very helpful and engaging staff.

Love this small oriental market. Enough to find your normal daily needs. The owners are friendly & very helpful. Is behind the building. Make sure you drive back read more

Almost incognito being located at the back of a small strip mall. Full of pinoy goodies and definitely worth a visit! Nice folks manning the store! read more

What a great little shop! I went looking for tapioca pearls and found them. They had an 8 oz. medium sized bag for $1.50. Location - it's in the back of the shops facing old annapolis mall. Lots of parking read more

I want to correct street name. This wonderful homey business is located on "Old" Annapolis Rd not Annapolis Rd. Big difference if you are unfamiliar with tthe area. It is located in the rear of the shopping center. Be patient in trying to locate. Terrific business owner. Store is Stocked with many products. And the owner will order available products if you can't find what you want. I have been delightfully pleased with the amount and quality of their products. read more
