This is a case where I really should break it down into the good, the bad, and the proverbial ugly…read more The good: The owners are the sweetest people--it's a true mom and pop operation and they're just too nice. Also, she makes homemade kimchi and some other mitbanchan which are for sale in a fridge by the cash register--and it's excellent kimchi. Honestly, this is all I come here for, really. The bad: The rest of the store is inferior in terms of variety and quality of products overall compared to New World over on Beach. Check the dates on stuff: some things seemingly have been here since the Joseson Dynasty. The ugly: This store is in a really sketchy strip mall. How sketchy? There's a hella sketchy strip club on one side and a store selling outfits for strippers on the other. Nothing against strippers, but you know, it's just a place that doesn't attract always the best of people to the parking lot. And the building is in rather poor repair, too. However, Soriya Food Market is next to this strip mall and while it also looks super-sketch, it's a lovely Cambodian market and you're going to find fruits and meat items there you just don't find elsewhere. Honestly, I just come here for the kimchi and mitbanchan and because the owners are so nice. I will also get a large bag of rice when here to give them a little more business and their rice is always fine. I am serious about checking dates on other products here though--not being mean, it's just the situation it seems.

On the weekends, I like to take my grandma out to go grocery shopping and stopped by this store…read more It's located on Emerson street in the Wacko plaza. The place is small, but has many grocery items. From instant ramen noodles, to frozen goods (gyoza, dumplings, meat, etc.) They also have different types of produce (cabbage, dakon, kimchi, mushrooms, bamboo, tofu, etc.) It's a little crowded and the aisles are a little bit tight, but not as bad. There are also a variety of snacks, sesame oil, and noodles. They also sell some kitchen utensils and bowls as well. The prices in this store is reasonable and affordable compare to other grocery stores. The owner is super nice and kind. I said thank you to him in Korean and he was very happy. When you buy a lot from him, he gives you a free item (my grandma and I both got a free pastry). Overall, it's a nice small/welcoming store with a nice variety of goods. If you need help with anything, the owner doesn't will show you where things are.

She is, "CASH ONLY". She was out of the chicken meal, so I opted for the beef. She told me to come back in ten minutes. So, I shopped around while she was preparing my meal. You can dine in or have it to-go. I love this store. The man who runs the place was very helpful and kind. Pros:the restaurant and also the wide array of choices of everything Asian. Cons:none Recommend? YES, no lines, no waiting!

It was right under my nose. It is adjacent to the sandwich shop on Beach Blvd. I frequent weekly. The store is larger than expected. I craved crystal tea and I knew the brand name which is Prince of Peace. Just a side bar, please know what you are looking in an Asian store. Everything was nicely stocked and appealing but I could not tell A from Z. I finally asked the manager or the cashier where to find crystal teas. There was not a big selection. Hell, there was only one selection. I grabbed my ginger honey Crystal tea to go. In the package, there are 10 sachets for just under $3! What a bargain! I proceeded to the register and asked if there were other selections. She was curt and to the point, "whatever we have there." She was pleasant but not to the point of being rude. I got my tea. Will I give up coffee? Maybe for a week or two or until I get a coffee headache . To me, this is one of the few Asian stores for my crystal tea. I am sure crystal tea can be brought on line but I am an old school kinda guy who likes going up and down the aisle to literally.

I've started cooking more of my culture's cuisine so it's nice to have more options in the Jax area. I love that they offer a food court right inside and every month they host an Asian Night Market outside in their parking lot. A few things they could improve on; offering a wider selection of their fresh/live seafood such as wild caught fish and shrimp. And lastly, the meat section could look fresher (not old dingy meat.)

It is quite a hike from where I live so I thought I'd go after returning from a trip and Mabuhay did not disappoint. I ordered their halohalo which is on point in terms of ingredients provided, authentic Filipino recipe and no ingredient overpowered the rest. Everything perfectly matched each other, like how it's supposed to be. The Ilocos empanada was made fresh. You just have to order in advance by messaging them through Facebook or WhatsApp. The ready to eat items at the back and the Goldilocks cake was a pleasant surprise. Service was fast, owner is very nice and accommodating. Their price is slightly higher compared to other groceries but you will find items here that no other Filipino groceries have. You also save a couple dollars by paying cash.

Awesome Filipino Market on North Main Street! My significant other wanted to try out this market so…read morewe drove 30mins and were impressed. Little Asian market with the best Asian essentials for food, ingredients, seasonings, produce and all sorts of other items. They do have products from the Philippines and other countries as well. In addition, they have a little kitchen where they cook hot meals like pancit, empanadas, lumpia, bbq sticks, adobo, etc. The associates were amazing and friendly. For hot foods, we ordered 2 chicken empanadas and pancit. The empanadas were huge! It's about the size of both your hands together! It was delicious -- savory, semi-sweet and dipping in the vinegar gave it more flavor with the acidity. The pancit and lumpia were amazing with a mix of savory, lightly salty, peppery. Amazing! Tip - make sure to order empanadas ahead as it takes about 20mins to make and cook. Overall, looking forward to visiting more and order more food!
