First time at Manila Mart after having heard about it so many times and let's just say I'm…read morepleasantly surprised! I will say prepare a budget cause there's a lot to get, I ended up spending around $40 for everything I got. Let's start with the beef lumpia. It was crispy and tasted pretty good. I'm a sucker for spice so I would've loved it to be a little spicier or maybe offer some chili oil on the side. Next is the star of the show, the lechon kawaii bowl. The pork is so tender and perfectly crispy! I added garlic rice instead of the usual which was a great addition. I asked to try their vinegar sauce which comes with garlic and jalapeño in it which I found to be amazing. Lastly, the taro milk tea is heavenly, I'm still thinking about it!!! The service was friendly and because it was my first time they even offered me a coupon for the next time I come back and I will definitely be back! Plenty of indoor seating as well with a whole market inside where you can find an assortment of Filipino food, snacks, drinks, and desserts.

Sadly I need to update my review to three stars. The food we ordered today was not very good…read more Sinigang too sour, pork seemed it was cooked frozen, and it was dry too. Kawali was just ok. Sisig, pass. It was too spicy and also dry. We do like the grocery section. The service is nice and the Ube shake is great. Will be happy to return for grocery needs, but not the restaurant. Food seemed rushed, out of a can, unfresh and not worth the high prices. We will cook Filipino dishes at home instead.

I didn't notice until today that the bakery itself now has a New Jersey address. But La Pita still sells that brand of pita bread, and more cheaply than at other retailers (such as Safeway or Whole Foods).

Love, love, love this market. I had been checking out various Ethiopian markets. I recently got the…read moreurge to experiment with Ethiopian cooking.saw the reviews online and decided to check it out. They have it all!! Including food to order to go. I was able to get all the essential ingredients and an order of Awaze Tibs. They were amazing!! The one issue I had was that it was difficult to communicate with the staff. There was a manager that I was able to get to assist that helped tremendously. I'll have to work on my Amharic! I will definitely be back. Great market.

I've gotten carryout from this location a number of times so this review is primarily for the food:…read more The food here is about a 3.9 stars for me. I always get the veggie platter, and it's good but nothing quite stands out. But the clear standout for it is the food portions AND pricing. Totally unbeatable. The service is always friendly, but sometimes they can be slow to have your order ready from the kitchen in the back, and they don't always pick up the phone. The grocery side of the place always has a good selection of fresh injera.
