    *Updated Review* Not my favorite place to go. Let's see, they have some very rude employees here. The store smells pretty bad and this is with my mask on. I don't come here much, but they do have some international food items I need that's hard to find at other places. I try to avoid it though!

    Expired chili sauce
    Christian M.

    I just moved to the area a couple of months ago and this is the closest grocery store in the area. I purchased chili sauce on 11/10 and noticed it expired 11/24 of the same year. Luckily I had the receipt. I returned the next day and noticed all of sauces on the shelf had the expiration date but 2. A worker walked past me with Global jacket on an I stopped him to let him know I was returning the product and they should get someone to remove the rest from the shelf and he responded I should take it up with customer service and he didn't have anything to do with it. I shake my head and then walk to customer service to exchange. I stand there for about 5 minutes while I'm talking on the phone to my husband and I told him I was going to find someone to call customer service. Then, a young lady pops up from her chair and I asked her has she been there the entire time and she rudely says yes. I told her I needed to make an exchange and she asked for the receipt and exchanged the bottles in less than a minute. I likely won't return to this market unless I'm too lazy to drive further out. Later the same day: I am getting ready to open my large jar of jalapeños and I realize that they also expired in August 2023. Luckily, I still had the receipt, I am mediately returned the jalapeños and the stain lady was there. She was much nicer this time, and I heard her tell someone in Spanish that they needed to check the jalapeños. I will not be back.

    All the items I bought.

    I recall going in here their first week of opening and the prices were so appealing and low. Therefore, I decided to come again today for some more fruits. The convenice if having an international food market five minutes from your place is a plus. I usually go to the H-mart in Wheaton. When you enter the place you are cut off from just exiting out quickly. I took my usual fruits and walked around the corner into the seafood aisle. The prices were a little higher than I remembered but that did not bother me because it was an international market, prices are always high. There was no foul order and the employees were very helpful when I asked for help about an obvious item. The aisle were all organized by different country items. Such as India, Korea ans China. The breads were located at the end. I wanted to get some cooked food, but their restaurant was closed on Mondays it said. I got in line to pay and that is where I was confused. The prices that I thought were low in my mind was not what appeared at the register. My advice is to ask about the prices before you but to make sure that is the correct ones displayed in front of the food. Don't forget to get your free ice cream at the end when you are exiting. I will be returning for the restaurant, but not for the groceries because unfortunately those prices have scared me away.

    I am delighted that Global Food has taken over the space previously occupied by Safeway. The name says it all. As expected from a non-chain, the vegetables are fresh due to a shorter supply chain, and prices are generally lower than the biggies. And of course, there is a huge variety from all over the world. The meats also look fresh, and there are pre-sliced cuts for stir fry or KBBQ. And yes, the parts that Americans usually don't consider edible, such as chicken feet and various offal. The seafood area has an island for ready to cook items (conch, anyone?) as well as a counter where your choice of whole fish is prepped to order. And no smell! (maybe because the store just opened?) The dry goods selection is extensive, and well organized by not only region but country. I was able to locate all of the exotic flavors I use. Oh, and one classification is (ahem) Euro. There is a cafe area still under construction, and I'm looking forward to trying it. Yum, sushi a few steps from the seafood market. Access to the shopping center is a bit awkward due to the US 29 interchange with Briggs Cheney Road, Still, Global will be getting much of my business that would previously have gone to Super Best..

    If you have not been here yet then it is a must that you go as soon as possible! This place is amazing! It has every kind of food and international/non international items are here! Not only is it convenient but the prices are really good! Usually I have found that international items are overpriced but here they do not do that. Along with good prices, food, items, and quality...they serve samples of some type of international food/drinks in every corner so you are able to diversify your taste buds before making your purchase! So I asked an employee if he knew were the jar of cherries were, he seemed like he struggled with English, was confused and didn't know what cherries were. After walking to two aisles with this individual I told him not to worry about it and I will attempt to look around. 10 minutes later on the other side of the store this man comes walking towards me with two jars of cherries..one small and one large with the prices. Honestly, this is the type of customer experience that'll keep me coming back. So I guess you are wondering why I did not rate this place a 5? However, I did have a bad experience at checkout...one of my items rang up for $4.99 and it was in the aisle with a large label of $1.99. I told the cashier that it was on label for $1.99 and she said it was $4.99 so I asked the cashier if she could send somebody over to check this and a man in customer service went over and confirmed the entire section of those items were in fact labeled for $1.99, I asked if this could be honored, they stated no it was a mistake on their end. So I stated if it is a mistake it should still be honored. The man stated that the employee was leaving work and just placed the signs anywhere and had it in the incorrect spot. I feel like that is a very poor way to treat customers even after you have verified that your employees messed up due to lack of job responsibility, had proof of the price listed, and continued to say what you cant do for the customer. Overall great concept: good food, versatile items, international/national experience, diverse samples but the lack of customer service out of MOST employees such as the cashiers and those in the customer service counter ruined the experience.

    This is a fantastic Filipino market with a variety of goods. Frozen Siopao, pan de sal, noodles,…read moresnacks, sauces, everything! The best part is their restaurant and drink bar. I enjoyed the sinigang, yummy. Try the ube drink with boba, super awesome.

    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.
