Entrance to the store and all the goodies to discover!

In the mood for some fresh Filipino food or Asian grocery items? Then you've come to the right place! My husband is Filipino and is always on the hunt for a really great Asian market and authentic, fresh, Filipino food. Here, we were able to find both! Tons of snack foods, imported items, frozen selection, bakery items, and more. They also have a small cafe in the back that serves Filipino favorites that you can eat there or take to go. It's not terribly big, so the selection is limited but we enjoyed the fried pork, lumpia, tilapia fish, and pancit. The woman in the cafe was very friendly and chatted with my husband about the Philippines. I saw that others had issues with products being expired, so I checked everything we bought prior to purchasing and didn't run into any issues. Shelves were well stocked and my husband found some of his childhood favorites.

I've been munching on it on the way home. Get a lbs for $10.

Nothing would beat this store for having the most Filipino supplies from Lucky Me pancit canton to talong, kalabasa, and kakanins, name it they have it. They got barong tagalog and balikbayan box services too. And the best part is they have a "turoturo" type restaurant at the back. Probably the only thing missing is a frying pan with fishballs, kikiam, & kwekkwek. Lol Anyway, you can always get fresh lechon kawali for $10/lbs and that's good for 3-4 people. The only opportunity for improvement would be accepting amex. As soon as they have that, I would probably change this rating to 5.

Great little store for all kinds of snacks and foods. They have some homemade items as well, dumplings, sweet buns and etc. there is also a little restaurant in the back. Only issue is they are a small business so hours are not always accurate. I went at 7:30pm and their sign says they are open until 8pm however they had already closed and their lights were off. Kind of disappointing because I was hoping to get some late night snacks for Valentine's Day tomorrow. Still a great place just not consistent with their hours. They do however have amazing crunchy rice snacks.

Bought three bags of edamame and all rotten. Be aware of this place that sell expired goods.

7 pc egg rolls/lumpia with sweet chili sauce for 3.75. Average price.

Another Asian grocery store in Jacksonville where I sometimes like to get some goodies. The thing that sets Mike-Cell apart from others is that there is a little cafe with hot and ready Filipino snacks and entrees for those to enjoy while shopping. I've gotten the lumpias (egg rolls) and they were pretty good. Everything else looked good as well, eventually I'll stop and just have a small meal at the cafe. Honestly, the stars are pretty much for the cafe. They do have freshly baked goods and some variety of Asian staples; but, you are better off going to another place if there is something specific that you are looking for, as this place is small and only carries so much. Also, check expiration dates before you buy, I wanted the fruit chips, but they expired months ago.... they need to check their items every now and then. Some items are in disarray, while others are stacked neatly. What is making me hesitant to come back to this store is the lack of friendly service. Each time I come (except for the cafe area) service doesn't seem very welcoming. Usually there is a young girl on her phone, or a couple workers sitting and chatting. They see you when you come in, but that's it. Last time I was checking out, the young girl was very occupied with a couple of kids running around the store (possibly related to the owners) and was shouting at them excessively to get their attention for something. This store is most likely to be a last resort stop if for some reason I can't make it to other Asian stores within the same general area. I'd probably come back just for the hot Filipino food.

This picture DOES NOT do the food justice. Palabok and the lechon kawali. I was too hungry to focus lol

Need some ingredients to make that universally loved lumpia of yours or maybe grab some unique treats? Maybe you need some authentic Filipino food in your life? This is your place to go! My family has been going here forever and it is well known, since the owners and titas (aunties) ALWAYS ask how my family is doing (side note, my family is no longer in Florida - I'm the only one :(. ) This visit was intentionally to gather some ingredients so I can make my Filipino spaghetti, however went a completely different route. We ended up just eating here instead! The combos are a great price, considering these are home cooked foods. $6.95 for some rice and two sides - can't beat that! Especially since the food is always filling! I ordered the palabok, which is like pancit on steroids, and lechon kawali, pretty much deep fired pork belly, which is out of this world! This is as good as it'll get when it comes to home cooked meals. Luke ordered the BBQ Stick and his routine lumpia. The meal satisfied our hunger to the point where we gave in and decided to finish the last bite, even though I said I'm full. After that we did not buy our ingredients since we were completely stuffed The prices are great, the selection is wonderful! The home cooked meals are sooooo good that writing this review is making me crave more. Last but not least, the staff make you feel like you're at home which makes a HUGE impact.

Yummm my favorites!

Had the adobo and it was amazing. The lumping was way over cooked and not worth the money at all. But besides that it was a great place.

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.

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.

It looks much smaller from the outside but it actually has quite a bit of product. I was looking for some specific cheese and they did have it. They also have lots of different pirogies, cheeses, frozen treats, candy, ice cream, breads, frozen as well as cured meats and a large selection of canned, bottled, and shelf stable products. The lady at the counter was very nice and I found a couple items to try and to re-stock. I would definitely return!

They have a good selection of grocery items that should appeal to looking for treats from Europe. The staff here was friendly enough and the market itself had a no-frills type atmosphere, but it was pleasant enough wandering through the aisles. I was also happy to see they carried products from Schmalz's, a New Jersey based sausage maker. Schmalz's makes a wonderful German style hot dog. I really am impressed with not only this European grocer, but the multiple European grocers located in Jacksonville, Florida. They have a strong emphasis on products from eastern Europe and offer a great variety of items that you will not find at your local Winn-Dixie, Publix, Walmart or other supermarkets. Overall, I will give here five stars overall and it definitely has my recommendation.
