As a Filipino who has family that makes restaurant quality food, he is picky with his food but he said the flavors here are pretty close to how his family cooks it. I am always on the hunt for good kare kare and I saw they serve it so I was already super excited to go. We arrived around 1ish pm and we were able to find parking and enter inside where we saw three tables occupied with happy customers enjoying their meals. They have small tables and large tables, but definitely plan ahead as most of these tables seat 2-4 people. They have a section at the left end of the order area where you drop off dirty dishes in bins as well as a condiments section. They were playing some American pop songs that were remixed but it fit the vibe of the place. Additionally, they do have a grocery side which I definitely want to check out next time I'm there. We were greeted warmly by the owner who was cheerful and patient with us. My boyfriend got their longganisa and lumpia and he was asked if he wanted adobo sauce on his rice which I thought was neat! Now, here is where my complaints from as I was not offered the same treatment on my rice, told that they aren't serving kare kare, they don't have labels for the food at front, and some of the food was cold. I got the pork sinigang and dinakdakan which was pretty good and flavorful. They do have pastries, desserts and other offerings as well. It seemed like there are many regulars who come often as the owner would recognize and have friendly conversations with them. He also bid us farewell when we left while he was taking a quick lunch break, and I thought that was really sweet.

Small family ran restaurant. Please remember when visiting this store, it is small and looks as…read morethough a new standup. The shelves are not full by far, the products are not a huge variety, and the products are not all high-end quality. They have a seafood deli (Kim Chee bar) and this is probably their most impressive section of their store. Everyone here is very nice, but again, new small store. I think with enough support, this place could be great. Provide input to the management for suggestions of products they should consider carrying. If you cannot find anything you want here, H-Mart and Paldo World in only five minutes up the street. Give these guys a shot and support our local community!

A first timer to this Korean Supermarket!! Found it online, on TikTok, of all places. Saw the…read moreadvertisement and reviews, so wanted to check it out. The store and parking lot are small. But inviting. Their specialties are the Korean Banchan (Sidedishes). All Homemade, with a variety of choices. Got there around 11:00 AM on Saturday, 5/03/25. There was nobody inside the store, so maneuvering the cart around the aisles was easy as well as browsing around. Definitely bought some Korean Kimbap, Sidedishes and Spicy Jerky. Prices were a bit on the higher side than other Asian grocery stores, though. The elderly couple who runs the store were very amicable and polite. We received excellent customer service. Talked to him a little bit in Korean as well.

They're right next to the Ace Hardware off 112th and Pacific. I went last weekend and loved that they chose a location with a big parking lot -the parking at the other location is terrible. Same great prices and products. I shop around -Costco, Winco, Fred Meyer, Safeway, farmers markets and butcher shops - to get whatever I need at the best price. There are things here that you can't get anywhere else. Competitive prices on certain products and a little lower or higher on others. You just have to do your due diligence. Shop around! Plan your trips! Again, my first time at this location. The store was clean and the customer service was great. My cashier was a total sweetheart. I'm super excited about this new location and will continue to go back until we move out of the area.

The front bakery is always my kiddos favorite since they were in Korea. If you happen to go to the middle of the super market and see the booth selling taitaki (fish shape of snacks), please do stop by. His taiyaki is the best so far I have in Washington state. It seems pricy, but size-wise, it is worthy to get because of the quality. Over all, if we miss Korean food, this is the place we always stop by to satisfy our tummies.

Hi I went shopping at India bizzar on 12-27-25 as I always did for 25 years whenever I'm in Tacoma…read more There was an older gentleman who was always there he was always very helpful and respectful. The last 2 times that I shopped there some young men have been working there have been doing some very unlawful things, like changing the prices with a pen at checkout not giving an itemized receipt and you can't see what they are ringing up. So on 12-27-25 I stopped in to shop the young followed me trying to sell me things I didn't want so I ended up just getting 2 items that should have totaled $14 I asked for my receipt the total was $28 what he did was rang up some conditioner that I looked at but didn't plan to purchase and placed it in my bag. When I asked about it he knew he was caught so he went in the register and gave me $9 and some change and asked me was I happy with that I told him no give me back what you charged me and give me back my receipt, he refused to give me the receipt and threw it under some papers that were sitting by the register I got very upset and walked out I will never shop there again and encourage anyone who does to watch carefully.

You can leave your tab open, which we almost did just try more food! We got three vegan dishes: the vegan nachos, the vegan Cubano, and the Chef Daddy Mac (vegan). Everything was so good! The nachos were a huge serving. There were two of us, and even though we had two more dishes coming, we still ate almost all of them. My friend got the vegan Cubano. She's not a vegan, and she said she really enjoyed it. She would definitely get it again. I got the Chef Daddy Mac. I ended up only taking a bite because we had eaten so much already I brought it home and it served me two more dinners! And it was delicious. I went to the bar and flagged down one of the bartenders to let them know how much I appreciated that they had a vegan menu at their restaurant. I was so pleased with the food and the thoughtfulness that went into the dishes. It wasn't just food without meat, and it wasn't just regular dishes with a meat alternative. These were crafted vegan dishes that can stand up in any restaurant against any animal-based dish. The atmosphere wasn't my vibe. As a Christian, it felt a little odd to be in that environment. The food was so good, though, I can't wait to come back and try more vegan options on the menu.
