This is an amazing market if you're looking for authentic Filipino foods! They have everything from balut to longanisa to the classic pre-packaged goods, and my personal favorite, the baked items, especially the ube and macapuno and Enseymada. The service here is friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere inside is a classic, authentic Filipino market. Definitely worth stopping by if you're looking for Filipino food that is authentic, delicious, and fresh! read more

It's a great Filipino sari-sari store in steroids. All staff are very friendly, store is very clean and well organized.

The original Filipino American grocery store in the heart of Woodside, the known Little Manila of New York. Still the best among the rest in selling Filipino cooked food, dry goods, retail merchandise and delicacies. I'd been coming here since I moved to New York. It's been a while since was here so todays visit was special. I can't help myself put in my cart already missed Filipino food eg the Balut ( fertilized egg), siopao ( pork bun), lumpia sariwa ( fresh vegetable wrapped, lumpia gulay (fried vegetable roll) and the hopia ( flaky pastry) . There's more I want to get but there will always be next time. If you are in dire need to try any Filipino food and snacks, this is the best place to go. read more

Stop by while checking out this "Little Manila" area in Jackson Heights. So it's a grocery store and we were going to just stroll through it. Then we spotted this Filipino brioche, Ube Ensaymada, and we couldn't resist but to try it. The texture and sweetness was on point but we expected more ube filling than just a "trace". So a bit disappointed but for $3.65 it's still a nice light treat. read more

I have been going to this store ever since I have moved to New York, and that was more than 30 years ago. This is a specialty store/grocery where you can by all kinds of Filipino foods and snacks. This is my go-to place when I could not find a Filipino food from other Filipino stores. They carry a wide array of Filipino stuff from canned and frozen foods, snacks, bakery items, foods to cook, garnishes, sauce, condiments, desserts and a lot, lot more. Today, me and my wife went to this spot to buy "balut"- a fertilized duck egg which is incubated for a certain time(days) then steamed or boiled, balut when incubated for a longer time results to a well developed duck embryo wherein duck features become recognizable. The partially developed features like duck beak and bones are soft enough to be eaten. Balut, a common Filipino street food, is usually eaten while the egg is hot or warm. For those who likes trying a different and unique kind of food, this is for you. If you plan on trying this, boil the balut that you bought before eating it. My wife and I also bought "Siopao"- a Philippine steamed bun which can come on a variety of filling, "hopia"- a thin flaky pastry that is usually filled with either cooked mung beans or pork flavored filling. The staff in this store are very kind, helpful and accommodating. Prices are fair. Looking for a parking spot is challenging. I highly recommend this store if you are looking for any Filipino food. read more

Had to take a stroller in here so it was a bit tight to get around the aisles. Overall really nice assortment of items! They have prepackaged baker items; we may have bought too much bread here. They have a prepared food section and an area in the back where I think you can order hot food (not sure) but they definitely offer uncooked sausages there. - The pan de sel is amazing, I just keep eating the rolls as is; it's literally like bread cake. - The ube bread, when warmed tastes a bit like bready pound cake - cassava cake was ok. They have a thin layer of custard on top - leche flan was amazing. I could eat that all day. It is a super dense/thick custard that almost is chewy because of that denseNess. - pork blood stew was good. Could have used a bit for flavoring but overall was tasty We bought more stuff but honestly can't remember the names and don't want to guess. No buy was a bad one though! read more

Phil-Am Foods - Leche flan; what a great buy! - International Grocery Near Me - Woodside, New York

Best Filipino grocery in Queens, I've been going here for 10 years and all the items/produce are good quality from the Philippines. Some items here you can't find else where. Location: It is located in Woodside, Queens. The interior is small, sometimes there is a huge line cause they limit people to go in due to covid. Good display of sausages and ready to eat food at the back. Service: they are super nice and kind. Food: what I like about here is some of the products here you can not find in other Filipino store. My favorite part in this store is the back section where all the ready to eat foods are. Also, they have great selections of ready to cook foods! My favorite is the SPICY LONGANISSA, SWEET LONGANISSA and TOCINO. EDEN CHEESE is a must too and CHICHARON. Price rating: 8/10, it is kinda expensive to be honest. I always go here if I am in Woodside, try the Sweet Longanissa! It is the bomb to be honest! read more

They got unique grocery and ready made food in the front as well as the back of the shop. The shop is on the smaller size so it's crowded and hard to get through with the amount of people they have. read more

A Filipino grocery store serving the local community since 1976. Supplying canned goods, frozen food and snacks along with other Filipino brand favorites. I picked up a few snacks which didn't differentiate much from their American counterparts. I also picked up some pastries. The ensaymada, a holdover from Spanish colonization, tasted like a very sweet Greek tsoureki bread. The grocery store also sells Balut which is a fertilized developing egg embryo. More or less a baby bird with a beak and feathers. Kinda gross. Look it up on YouTube. A good grocery store surrounded by an astonishing amount of Filipino restaurants in Little Manila. read more

After eating at a restaurant nearby, aunt Paz needed to do her shopping for Filipino grocery stuff. The store is regularly busy during brunch time and the aisles are packed with food and narrow. You do have to frequently side step to go around other shoppers, so it's kind of fun to see everyone do that and not be jerks about it. The back of the shop has hot foods ready to order. My personal fav is the Siopao (bread with meat inside). Special shout out to the chicken empanadas that you can grab (after you pay for it lol) at the cash register. The place does have the Filipino grocery monopoly as they're the only Filipino grocer in this side of Roosevelt. Random info: they don't take American Express read more

Having solidified itself as a cornerstone business smack dab in the heart of Lil Manilla, Woodside's Phil-Am Foods has become one of the most important specialty grocery stores in the borough, if not the entire city. They have provided a number of imported SE Asian goods that are not easily found in other stores and do so with affordable prices and excellent service. Phil-Am is not a big store by any means, but they've managed to hone in on most of the things that people are looking for. There isn't much of a produce section, but they've got a plethora of things like sauces (banana ketchup anyone?), snacks (tocino flavored everything), cooking staples (rice, seasonings, etc.) and a pretty nice assortment of spam variety. One of the reasons I'm here often is because of their prepared food that they sell on the cheap. It ranges from the fresh variety of longanisa in the back where the butcher is to bundles of balut eggs just sitting out waiting to be consumed. I also am a fan of their laing (stewed taro leaves) and am surprisingly entranced by their dessert section. All things ube (especially the ube halawa) make me happy. And of course, the people behind the counter are always a pleasure. They make the store buying experience a great one as they're always willing to assist and do so in the most polite / professional manner. read more

This has been my go-to for years but I guess they change cooks every once in a while so they aren't very consistent with their flavors. Ordered tapsilog everytime before and brought my fiancé with me. We both agreed the way of cooking changed. It wasn't bad but also wasn't good. Will still give it a chance and overall great service read more

Hidden Gem in Woodside! I've been to this little market a few times and revisit whenever I'm in the neighborhood (usually for Filipino dinner). This market has a little bit of everything! Filipino food & snacks galore! I recommend the Garlic Flavored Fried Corn...yummy garlic goodness and very addictive. On this visit, I got a huge bag full! I also got a lb. of Tocino (delicious cured pork) and a dessert. *see pics. I will definitely be back and recommended! read more

For all your filipino food needs, you need look no more. From snacks, salty and sweet, canned goods, cooking ingredients, bakery items and more! Absolutely recommend stopping by and checking them out. The place is rather small so if it gets busy with the locals, maneuvering and exploring might get frustrating. But it's well worth the patience. It's a typical Fil-Am store, so there's no complaining from me or my filipino mother so you know it's as good as it gets. Everyone is nice here, and they're very welcoming! However, they don't accept American Express! Stick to Visa or Mastercard if you're going to use cards. And of course, cash accepted. read more

I come here for my PH groceries. It's fairly priced. They also have some fresh baked goods.

When I was growing up, I really know a lot of Filipino foods so this is one place in Woodside that really has a lot of those foods that you'll miss so much. They're a bit pricey, but it really is very Filipino in taste. The Filipinos are always nice people, always friendly, warm and kind, and simply like you feel you belong in that store. It's a bit cramped but it's not a bother. read more

I love this price for all my ube snacks and Filipino eats & desserts! I found this place when I needed ube halaya to make my ube lattes and I keep coming back! During my recent trip, I picked up palabok, lumpia, ube crackers, ube sponge cake and pork hopia. I'm already thinking about what to get next time I'm there and definitely getting the flan! read more

One of the best Filipino Stores I've ever been to, and I keep coming back. They got everything from hot cooked food in the back to Filipino supplies ready to buy. I love the ube brownies and other baked goods they have. I always come here for the baked ube goods, and halaya. They also have ube extract which i find really hard to find but they have a lot of it in stock. read more

"Best fresh longanisa in town" (including New Jersey). Sweet or spicy pork are our family favorite, and not the ones you buy in the frozen section. Just order by the pound at their special counter in the rear. Family and friends of mine agree and would commute from Manhattan just to buy these. I recently noticed they also have chicken and vegetarian longanisa if that's more to your liking. They have everything else for your traditional filipino cooking needs and craves (sauces, merienda snacks, recipe spice packs, some precooked food, frozen section, rice, ensaymada). They prepare hot food as well later in the day. If you have a car, stock up. You can even pass by popular filipino chains Red Ribbon bakery and Jolibee nearby among several other traditional filipino restaurants which are just steps away. If you don't have a car, just bring a strong over the shoulder bag. Note: they dont accept American Express, but accept all other methods of payment. read more

I have Filipino friends, I go to Filipino restaurants, I've lived in Queens my whole life but I've never attempted to make Filipino food on my own. I don't know why but that's definitely changing!!! I came in for ube and pandan extracts to use for pancakes and I left with so many fun things. The store was just the right size to walk up and down the aisle 2-3 times to stare at everything, making sure you don't miss out on anything! I just cooked their fresh sweet longanisa for dinner and it was delicious- sweet and smooth. I also got frozen lumpia, pancit bihon noodles and seasoning, some instant pancit noodles, adobe seasoning, and arroz caldo. So inspired to cook more Filipino food at home!! read more

I make sure to make my trip worthwhile whenever i travel to Woodside so I always come out of this grocery store carrying multiple bags filled with Filipino goodies. One of the things I really miss from the Philippines are the kakanins. This grocery has you covered with their wide selection ranging from frozen cassava, ube, kakanin like sapin-sapin, ginataang halo-halo, keep it coming. I'm also very happy that they sell hopia, it's one of the things I always buy from Chinatown in Manila. Condiments - they used to have Marca Piña but I guess they ran out. Cheese Whiz and Eden Cheese are also nowhere to be found, it's a bum that most times I come here they're out of stock. For those who want to cook Filipino food at home, they have all the Mama Sita's seasoning to impress your friends with your cooking skills! Also, knorr seasoning is a must have in a Filipino pantry - just makes everything taste sooo good. In fact, the next time I slow cook ribs, I'm going to use the one I just bought from here. What can I say, I travel all the way here from Brooklyn. I give it my two thumbs up! read more

I needed to stock up on some Filipino supplies and this was the perfect place to do it! Not as big as Jersey stores, but they have the real Magnolia/San Miguel ube ice cream which I couldn't find in Jersey. Ube ice cream is $9.50 for 1.5L. Other things I got were instant Pancit Canton (3 for $1.25), bagoong, ube for halo halo, munggo ($1.79), frozen longanisa (Vigan), lumpia sauce ($3.59 for 32oz), lumpia wrappers ($1.49ea), dried mango and garlic chips. Will definitely be back for more! read more

Listen, you can't really go wrong when you're talking Filipino food and snacks, so I'm pretty happy when I stop in here. Know what you're looking for otherwise you'll be here all day and want to eat all the snacks. Yes, we come for snacks, noodles, Filipino food staples, the occasional walis tambo, you know, typical Filipino shopping. If you crowd my spot once you figure out how good it is, I'm going to be pissed. This is a definite gem. read more

Being a Filipino where would I be without this place, so greatful to have a pinas' market that has all the foods from he country, from frozen, sweets, noodles, chips, meats, seafood, and cooked food as well...this place has been around as long as i know which is since I've moved to jersey city as a child from California ... awesome place read more

I like Phil Am because they sell almost everything from the Philippines. However, last night the clerk (short hair and red lipstick woman) overcharged me by charging me twice for the salted eggs. Unfortunately, I was already half-way home when I noticed it. Always always always check the receipt before leaving the store. read more

HIDDEN JAM Come here for some filipino snacks! Location: Like I said, this place is located on a Filipino and Thai food street where you can find lots of unexpected filipino food here. This place is small - it does not sell veggies, fruits This place is enormous - it sells hand-made filipino snacks, and ube ice cream and some other good stuff that I fail to remember their names Owner is nice they welcome you It could be a little bit tight while shopping because some many locals come here to shop It's cheap it;s good it deserves my attention lol 4 star read more

Terrific store for authentic Filipino food and groceries. It has a variety of prepared foods, including baked goods, desserts, noodles, stews, pork adobo, etc. I was seeking ube, and they had ube ice cream with cheese (somewhat novel at $7.95), frozen ube ($4.99), ube halaya ($4.25 for a small), and other ube desserts with coconut. There is also a good range of other condiments, canned goods, frozen food (e.g. lumpia), meat, snacks, and goodies that I haven't seen in other ethnic grocery stores. The staff is friendly, the place is clean, and it's a quick 5-7 minute walk from the Roosevelt Avenue subway stop. The prices are affordable--though of course not as low as in Chinatown. read more

Local Filipino grocery store! As the wifey is turning me more Filipino by the moment, of course I had to check this place out. I have a weakness for longganisa and this place sells them by the pound. Meat can be expensive, but this place sold them for surprisingly really cheap! Started with classic sweet sausage and it was good as expected. The spicy and chicken longganisa will be next when I come back. Fresh baked goods sold by the bag. Refrigerated Filipino dishes and soups available to take on the go. read more

This is one of the only Filipino grocery stores in New York City. I came here from Manhattan which took about 30-40 minutes. When I arrived I realized quickly that it was cash only and that there was no ATM in the shop to be found. It's the 21st Century, why is this place cash only? Enough about that annoyance. I came here for ube jam, banana ketchup, pan de sal and a few other things which I was happy to see they had. Everything I ended up purchasing was great except for the baked goods and bread. Extremely stale pan de sal. I was so disappointed because that was one of the top three items I trekked all the way to woodside for. The other baked goods I purchased were also stale and were thrown out after one bite. If you're coming here specifically for some type of filipino bread, just know there is a high chance of it being stale. Other than the stale baked goods and cash only paying option, this filipino grocery store definitely has options that are 100% not to be found in chinatown. read more

Good Filipino supermarket with a good selection of dried goods and frozen prepared food as well like lumpia. Great for frozen banana leaves and ube jams. Also has random assortment of baked goods. read more

This small, and jammed Filipino grocery store was for years my spot to pop in whenever I was in the nabe heading to SriPraPhai. The foodstuffs fascinated me, from the chips in exotic flavors to the containers of ube, to the quarts of prepared stews and foods with names I couldn't pronounce. I ogled more than I bought, because I didn't eat or couldn't cook with many of the products. I've always been a fan of their ensaymada, those brioche rolls stuffed with ube or coconut or cheese, highly caloric, definitely enticing. I never passed by without picking up a bread or two, the more jumbo sized the better. After years of not stopping in, I was warmed to see this family grocery store still in its corner in the nabe. And the ensaymada remains delicious. A must for anyone wanting to cook Filipino cuisine. read more

You really don't need to come to this tiny store for simple Filipino things, unless this is the only place you know of or it's most convenient. I find most items here are a little overpriced. The food they actually prepare and cook themselves isn't that great. Order take out from Ihawan and you'll be happier. I hate giving pinoy places bad ratings but I have to give it 3 stars because my auntie found a 1 inch piece of BROKEN GLASS in the middle of a longanisa. My 3 year old cousin could have been eating it! These were pre-packaged. I have also seen pre-packaged ensaymada's and mamon with gnats INSIDE the wrapper. Yuck, no thank you. read more

I liked this store because they have all that we need and like even though it's more expensive than the the others. But be warned, always check your receipt before leaving. I've noticed because it happened to me twice already, that they somehow overcharge you by billing you twice or put something in your bill that wasn't even there. Again, be careful and always check your receipt! I'm scared to come here and shop a lot that I can't keep track of what's in my receipt. Very fishy. read more

Almost always very busy store with a full stock of goodies from Philippines. I stop by after Sripraphai (famous Thai restaurant) before going back home. The location is convenient. Subway station, 69th St. Station (L) is around the corner. I like their Filipino bread, the one with a fluffy egg roll with shaved coconut on top. They are really cheap but good. Other items are "stinky condiments". That's how my husband call it. They are indeed very pungent and not pleasant to some and even to me but cooking anything with it, it gives a wonder flavor and taste. Ginisang Bagoong (Kamayan Sauteed Shrimp Paste Regular)- I enjoy simply with chopped fresh cucumber or create a base flavor for a stir-frying. This last condiment that I always get is fermented salty anchovies. It takes me back to my childhood memory. This salted anchovies in a jar is salty and fishy but addictive. Italian and Philippines has very similar one. But Filippino one is no longer able to import to US due to raw fish content. Monamon Dilis from Kamayan is very close. It's a saucy liquid. This is one of my secret ingredients of my hearty tomato sauce. The adding anchovies, as a secret ingredient, to tomato sauce was from MARK BITTMAN, New York Times recipes and definitely gives a depth of flavor. Most of Asian condiments has MSG and those has too. read more

Just moved from Columbia Heights, Washington DC, where there were no real Asian markets, and definitely no Filipino food. It was always an all day event when I wanted to go get Filipino food or grocery by leaving DC to go to Virginia. I live in Queens now and I have to say this is my go to market for Filipino items and foods I cant find in Food Bazaar or other Asian supermarkets. First time I came here on a Sunday night right before they closed, bought basics pancit canton, corned beef, patis, pandesal, etc. Loved it. Next time I visited was on a Saturday morning. Boy that was a nice surprise. It was busy, but they had freshly cooked everything... Pancit, Mongo, Rice Cake each for $3.75. I love their longanisa here. I think it is $3.99 a lbs. They have sweet and a spicy one in the back, fresh from the butcher. I usually get like 4 pieces of each kind. I noticed they have embutido too back there for about $8, but they are huge. I will definitely coming back again. Do yourself a favor and check out the goodies around lunchtime on Saturday and Sunday. They close around 8pm, so keep that in mind. They take credit card which is nice. read more

I love this place! Its a corner shop on a major street so it will be very easy to find, I just wandered in one day while in the area noticing it was a Filipino market. Avocado ice cream, puto, garlic nuts... They have any snack I could possibly want from the Philippines including spam :p The prices are pretty good too, they're not dirt cheap but you definitely wont break the bank buying your treats here. I really recommend them if you're in the area. read more
