Yelper fail moment because I totally intended on taking pictures inside, but I was hit with such a strong wave of childhood nostalgia that I completely forgot! I'm not from the area and am honestly SO sad because if I lived nearby, I'd probably be here at least once a week stocking up on snacks and trying all their food. I didn't get a chance to try their cooked food this time, but I did grab some of their ready made siopaos, which were yummy and so fluffy! They have a great selection of Filipino snacks, along with snacks from other ethnicities, and everything was priced really well. There's such a fun variety to look through, and it definitely brought back memories of the snacks I grew up with. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area and want to grab some snacks straight from the Philippines! I'm already planning my trip back. read more

Finally checked this place out last weekend. Definitely bigger than most Filipino stores I've been to. They have a variety of everything. The store is clean and the shelves are fully stocked. I noticed that they didn't have any fresh fruits or veggies but they pretty much have everything else. They even have some Goldilocks goodies. I heard the turon here is good but we ended up getting combo plates to go. We liked the combo plates we ordered. We ordered mainly fish dishes and those were delicious. They also sell ice cream and smoothie drinks too. I ended up with the avocado smoothie with boba. Will have to come back to try out their other dishes. read more

Ok, so I was a little harsh on my first review. Maybe because I was hungry for Pinoy food. Finally made it in to try the food and shop for some groceries. Grocery prices were ok, a little pricy but not overbearing. Picked up some snacking staples, shrimp chips (Calbee of course). Growers garlic peanuts, pinoy spaghetti sauce and some jufran (iykyk). Had to try the food as well, got the spam and tocino breakfast plate and wife got the big bangus. Good afternoon portion size, tocino was crispy and flavorful, spam was thick cut. Rice had good flavor. The bangus was huge, wife liked the taste and could only finish half. Over all, food was good, customer service was good as well. Definitely 209 gem. Give them a shot l, you won't be disappointed. read more

This little store has an impressive amount of Filipino pantry groceries and a couple refrigerators with ice cream and other things. I've been wanting to stop here to try their hot counter and finally I was in the area so I stopped. I ordered pancit and 4 piece lumpia added on. Pancit is good, lumpia is ok but wasn't very crispy(it's take out so that is to be expected honestly). There's so few places to get good Filipino food but the Tito behind the counter here was very short tempered and not very welcoming. The girls behind the counter were nice, though. read more

Thinking mini mart with hot food options. The store itself is clean, shelves stocked and easy to shop. Bigger than most "Filipino" stores. The hot food is average- good enough. If you are still unsure if you want to eat here, best to grab a halo- halo. read more

I enjoyed the delicious food they have for you here. While I was waiting I shopped a little bit too to make from home.

Anytime I'm in town I have to come here. I just love everything about it. A small market I could find more than I need. I need to compose myself not to buy so much stuff. The FOOD ITS OMGOSH. So good! I highly recommend this place. They cook on order. It would be good if they extend themselves to a bakery introduce Stockton to Filipino fresh pandesal bread and desserts. Just putting an idea out there Pricing is very fair. Better than these over priced Filipino restaurants. Ambiance is nice more like sit down eat real quick n go. Next time I need to stop forgetting to take a picture first before I grub read more

The food is always amazing. The staff are very helpful and friendly. There are also many delicious snacks to pick from. The place feels very comfortable and casual. read more

GREAT Filipino food. They do run out, so if possible, call ahead if you want something specific. It's also a Filipino market with groceries, cakes, ice cream, desserts, etc. it's pretty chill and they have a few tables if you want to eat there. I've tried their pancit, bbq pork, chicken adobo, chicken tinola, beef caldereta, and turon and everything. Is. So. Good. read more

Their food is all sooooo good. Great customer service, always stocked up. You can sit and enjoy your food it's never chaotic.

We ordered a freaking tray of Lumpia and Turon 10:30am we arrived early to pick up...we wait for the lumpia since it's bot ready. They handed the lumpia to my dad and without sauce. I went back to ask for the sauce and they said it's 1.50. Why the lumpia didn't come with the sauce at all it doesn't fucking make sense. A lady who's behind me jumped in to pay for me since they don't take card if it's only less than 5dollars. She went in to ask probably the boss and all of a sudden it's okay to use my card and charged me 1.65 that's with fee. Kudos to the lady for stepping up. Thank you so much! BUT WHOEVER OWN this place we know how hard and expensive everything nowadays,but don't over kill customers greed is not gonna get you anywhere in life. read more

Stumbled across this Filipino eatery in Stockton while driving back from Sacramento and they had amazing food! I was looking for a spot that sold turon, or fried banana lumpia, to bring back for both me and my bf's families and this was the first spot that popped up on my yelp search. Called ahead to see if they could accommodate a party tray of 40 pieces and they said it would be ready in 10 minutes! Once we got there, our order was ready and we decided to also order a combo plate of pancit, pork bbq stick, and lumpia shanghai. Everything was made to order and so good! Some of the best Filipino takeout I've had in a while. The turon is super crispy and the long thinner kind, but without the excess fry oil or caramelized coating. We ordered turon without jackfruit but they do have that option as well. Manila Express is also a grocery store carrying tons of Filipino snacks, canned goods, bread, etc. Don't be fooled by the "drive-thru" area and window on the side of the store, it's not a drive thru! read more

Please check the products on the shelf, Manila Express. A lot of them are expired. Earlier last year the mango slices in the fridge were expired, came back a few months later to find they were still there. Recently, my sister bought a bag of chips, realized too late the exp date said 9/4/2025. read more

Manila Express - Expired - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Stockton, California

Bought over a 100 dollars worth of hot food : spamsilog ,bangsilog, pancit bbq combo, beef caldereta and lumpias. Soo disappointed the bangus was burnt where it was like charred crispy the spamsilog wasn't even made with spam but some other type lunch meat and my family eats spam on a regular so we know what spam taste like and the lumpia was not good . At least we gave it a chance!!! read more

The only good thing is the halo halo which I think is the best and I've been to so many places that serves it The turon is just a wrapper with hardly any banana cooked in oil Bbq pork is tasteless and fried bangus is so so read more

Hot, delicious food at a nice price, in an awesome Filipino grocery. Grab some egg cakes to have after the chicken adobo... if you have room! read more

I love the Turon and siomai!!! I actually really like the ratio of the banana and wrapper ~ always so crunchy!!!!!

This review is mainly for their turon. I first tried them in one of our friends' party and we were hooked eversince. I always get their large trays that consists of 50pcs turon and for the price, I could get 2 if I want to as they always get demolished at every party we bring it to. They are crunchy, not too sweet and the banana was perfectly ripe. I like my turon without the jackfruit (langka) and this one hits the spot. I always order ahead of time, but you can always drop by and order it the same day as they always have big batches of them readily available. I would like to try some of their filipino dishes when I get back next time. But as for now, turon is why I drive up here just to get my and family's fix. read more

So I decided to come back a little earlier this time and when I approached the door there was a sign with the hours and the definitely close at 8pm...my bad! This is an "UNCLAIMED" page so I can't blame the owners for this mistake :). This place is small with a tight fit. There are some tables/chairs if you decide to eat your food inside but it gets super hot in there and like I said, it's a tight fit. We started eating inside but decided to take it home where we can be more comfortable. If there are only two of you this might be ok. This is like a little store with some basic things like Boy Bawang, Mama's Tocino/adobo packets, other spices/sauces, a freezer with ice cream/cakes/ube rolls and of course some food!! I ordered the pork adobo w/garlic rice and the boys chicken adobo and longanisa/lumpia combo plates. The food was delicious and served HOT! Everything was as expected...like a home cooked meal! We also got halo halo and the only downside to this is that the hole on top of the cups was smaller than the spoon they provided which made mixing/eating it a mess. I recommend asking for a straw...much easier! read more

Their sisig was like mashed meat literally like how many times they warmed it up?! Too greasy and expensive. The Turon was not much taste either. Expensive in my opinion for amount of food and quality of it. Never going back, first and last, Atleast now I know. To be fair the place was clean that's it which they supposed to be. read more

Pretty worth. Lots of food for less than $10 Got #9, it has egg (under the meat) -meat nice and crispy -would DEFINITELY come again read more

I ordered lumps, fries shumai, spaghetti and a pork stick. It took about 10 minutes for me to get my food at 11 this morning. I liked the spaghetti with the exception of the big chunks of onion 3 out of v5 starts. Lumps and fried shumai was good. Next time I'll order steamed sumai. That was too much fries stuff I order. The meat stick at 2.99 will do if you can't make it out to Angel Cruz Park. Palabok is on the menu, but they couldn't make it. She didn't say when it would be available. Pancit doesn't get made til after 12. That's why I ordered the spaghetti. Above all, the 1 star remotes here are bogus. Of your on the east side of hanger lane, it'll do. Of course, if your on the other side or willing to drive, Sisig and Boba is better. Just don't expect Boba or any other drink despite it's name. Manila express is worth the food of you are picking up snacks and your Filipino fares read more

So upset and disappointed at the service. I waited 30 minutes for 2 halo halos. I sat there waited and everyone else who was behind me in line got their food. They saw me sitting at the table and asked two times for my order and once again forgot they need to pay attention..! read more

For me, this is ethnic food. My experiences around town have not been the best. These folks will have a repeat customer. The lobster rolls were exceptional. Not at all the typical everything covered in brown gravy. The store features canned foods not found anywhere else. Worth the visit. read more

Ordered 1 order of lumpia, 1 stick of pork bbq and 2 halo-halo . My ice cream for the halo- halo was melted by the time I got my lumpia and bbq. It took 30 min to get 12 pcs of lumpia and 1 stick of bbq. Upon getting my order, the bbq was so disappointing. It was cold and dry. Also, as far as the lumpia, the cashier did not inform me that there was a charge for the lumpia sauce until I checked my receipt. A little sneaky there :) It would be nice to inform your customers of all charges. read more

I was looking for Filipino food with Pancit and Lumpia. I seen this place on Hammer Lane and turned around to see what they had. I ordered Pancit, Lumpia and BBQ Pork combo plate and a 10 piece Pork Lumpia. The Pancit had lots of vegetables and meat. (They have ice cream and boba too). I ordered a coffee chip shake with boba and it was very good! I'm glad I went back to check this place out and will be back to order more and try the Chicken Adobo next time. The people there were super friendly, service was fast and the store was very clean and organized. They have tons of Filipino food items, desserts, etc, no brooms or household appliance items though. read more

We went to try this place out and support the local business. We ordered the pork sisig & lumpia to go. The pork sisig was more like paksiw Lechon made w/sisig ingredients & the lumpia was delicious. The funny thing in there grocery section was there was no price labels on the items . We asked why there are no prices on the products the sell? But could not get a straight answer.Not holding that against them but as a consumer I would like to know how much I'm paying for something. We will give it a second chance when we go here again read more

Pancit was kinda bland and no color. Like it was just boiled. The longanisa and rice probably was leftover from nite before. Lumpia Shanghai was good. This is the 2nd time I've been in this store to give it another try. Still disappointed. Grocery area, everything in the store doesn't have prices. I believe the owners are of Chinese decent. They have a lot of goldilocks brands. read more

awful service , overcharged food , called to get information and was met with an attitude , do not shop here

Very clean and organized business. Offers Filipino grocery items as well as magnolia ice cream and a deli. I believe they have two tables if you want to eat your food there. I went here as my go to place for dinuguan (Foo Lung at the downtown Filipino Center) has closed. The dinuguan I would rate a 7-8. The gravy was not as thick as I like it. It was a bit too salty and they use a lot of stomach. I don't mind stomach but in my order, I only had two piece of pork meat and the rest was stomach. One other thing was there was an abundance of sauce and not as much meat/stomach. I really wanted this place to be great. My rating was 4 stars based upon the overall appearance of the store and friendly workers. To be honest, I'm sure there are a lot of people that enjoy their dinuguan the way they prepare it. I wish this business a lot of success, I might try something else from their menu, just not dinuguan. read more

Do not get Boba in drinks. Taste like chemicals and slimy disgusting. Most likely a weeks old.

I quite like this restaurant and have been here only 2-3 times, but make it a point to stop by if I go to Costco. They have delicious and affordable food, I really love their turon, which I think is just a $1 each or 2 for $1? I've had turon in many places and sometimes it isn't crispy or you can tell it's a bit stale, the turon here is so perfectly sweet and crispy. Expert chef makes great turon and they seem to turn it over quickly, so maybe their turon just doesn't have a chance to even go stale They have grocery items as well as quick grab items - like dried fish, curries, or baos. I really need to try their other menu items but so far I've had their pancit, adobo (pork and chicken), beef and pork sticks, and turon. Everything has been very fairly priced and delicious. The turn around time is usually pretty quick too, under 15 minutes even when busy. Manila Express is near a lot of yummy food, the Thai place next door is fabulous too with great owners. Please support both! read more

This is the place in Stockton if you're looking for Filipino snacks and goodies! Their turon is really yummy, maybe even sweeter than most. Their halo halo is on point-like, no contest! Service is okay. read more

Sunday October 30, '22 @ 1pm. We shared 2 Topsilog. One with a larger piece of fried Bangus, itlog (fried egg) fried garlic(?) Rice and vinegar for dipping. The second had a smaller piece of Bangus with 2 pieces of Longanisa. It was good but we couldn't detect garlic in the garlic fried rice. The line was about 10 people and with 1 person at the register took close to 15 minutes then the food was another 15 minutes but it was fresh About 1/2 of the people were having Halo-Halo, Boba or ice cream. Their store is well stocked and the inside is clean. My recommendation to the owners. At minimum power wash the entry and back caged area. Though this is Stockton, there is no reason that it shouldn't be clean and presentable for your customers. Also in the 1 hour here and the tables being used repeatedly by customers, they were cleaned once. If the place was clean our 3 stars could easily be 4 or 5. read more

First time here. The store/ Filipino food takeout was very clean and neat. We bought some groceries and takeout food. The Turon has very small banana, without jackfruit and is tackily done. The mocha roll from Goldilocks was delicious. The pancit bihon comes with longanisa, egg roll and calamansi. The pancit needs a little more seasoning but longanisa tasted good, the lumpia is good if it was not soggy.. Overall, the place is bright and clean. I would come back again next time and try some other take out. read more

We just bought some OLD ASS FOOD from here!!!! TASTE OLD, SMELLS OLD and BURNT!!! The garlic rice was left over rice from who knows a few days ago sitting in the rice cooker. Rice was hard as a rock, crumpy, and has an old over due moist water smell. You know what i mean if you are Asian and you eat rice! Let's go on to the Sisig, one word OLD!!! Frozen reheat, NOT FRESH you can smell and taste that old vinegar yuck! The BBQ stick was a joke it was OLD left over, refried, and BURNT black!! This is very disappointing as we come here from time to time. This is not authentic filipino food. The quality of food is horrible and should not be served, period! If you wouldn't eat it, it's common sense why you would serve it! Please STOP re-frying your old leftover food!!! Please do better!! read more
