All kinds of imported sweets, wines, Pate, pickled tomatoes/cucumbers, and even Romanian zacusca spread that we enjoy. What blew me away was the fact that they had warm bread and it was delicious !! The lady behind the counter suggested some great cold meats and cheese that went perfect with the bread ! The service was excellent in my opinion. I am definitely coming back !

The noodles (Pancit) were delicious, full of veg and pork, and WOW! the serving size was huge : 0 as I asked the server to STOP filling my plate b/c I could not eat that much. The fried rolls ("Shanghai") were tasty, flaky and crunchy, hot (pork maybe?) and another vast serving size (10-12!! : )= I was also given some roasted pork entree as a sample for free after I inquired about it .... awesome. The food was freshly made and as it was lunch hour I could see they were in the midst of making all the food items so they were all uber-fresh. Friendly, and helpful team. So good. 6-8 tables for seating. Small and clean. Store: Small. I did not see any(?) fresh food. Lots of bagged food (crisps, snacks, tea) and jarred items (salted fish, etc). Some items in wall fridges which I did not inspect. We bought a few snacks.

As far as I know, this is the only Southeast Asian supermarket in the area, and for anyone serious about Thai cooking, it's a goldmine. The shelves are packed with essentials -- curries, sauces, noodles, herbs both fresh and frozen, and even harder-to-find ingredients like that I honestly never expected to find locally. I was especially impressed by the variety of rice options including sticky rice and riceberry rice, plus frozen fermented crabs, meatballs, snacks, and drinks that brought back memories of browsing markets overseas. The only thing I couldn't find was Nam Pla Wan, so I still had to swing by H Mart afterward, but honestly that's a very minor complaint considering how specialized and well-stocked this place is. Also, Dora, the owner, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Western Raleigh/Cary really needed a spot like this.

Their frozen selection is small, but has some quality products like frozen BBQ pork buns, acasia leaves, and sweet sticky rice with banana or taro. The owner of the store is super friendly and nice. We always have the best time shopping here and discovering new things to buy. Go check them out!

Each time, I've over-ordered, I've over-eaten. And each time, I have had no regrets, the food here is authentic, delicious and I love all of the people working here. Tucked inside the Oriental Mart, Filipino Express Restaurant was my first true taste of Filipino cuisine and I just cannot get enough of it. It is the go-to place of many of my Filipino friends, who have introduced me to many popular and even some uncommon delights. My previous knowledge of Filipino food was fairly limited, mainly to the traditional items which of course, Filipino Express has. Their lechon kawali (fried pork), pancit (noodles) and lumpia (Filipino spring rolls) are must gets, with each item being super fresh and tasty. Despite my admiration for the classics, there are so many new things that I've tried here that are also fantastic that I just can never decide. I guess that is why we always over-order. My new love is sinigang, a tangy soup that is filled with pork. While the sour may throw you off, it is so comforting. The longganisa is a Filipino sausage that has a unique sweetness to it that is just undeniably great. And the kare kare is a unique take on pork, with the main sauce being made of peanuts. It is a rich dish, but a unique flavor that is good at balancing out the fried and savory flavors. Lastly, I first experienced a halo halo here and it may just be a top 5 dessert. It is so much fun to eat, and delicious too! I covered some of my favorites here, but this really just scratches the surface of all of the amazing things that Filipino Express offers. I am always excited to go back and try something new, maybe the next thing I should try to do is not leave in a food coma!

Also, the bean sprouts here are very very fresh, fresher than any other Asian grocer I've seen in the Triangle. The way they pack it with space for air contributes to what helps keep the sprouts fresher. Honestly, if the world was in kahoots and this place was accessible, you could live here and cook so much yummy homemade food.
