Filipino food in Huntsville and I'm here for it!…read more THE FOOD. - Combo 3 (Your Choice of Three Items) | These combo plates come with rice, two lumpias (fried egg roll), and a drink. For my 3 items, I went with BBQ skewer, pancit (stir-fried noodles), and pork adobo. You can never go wrong with pancit; those thin, slippery noodles are a Filipino staple at any family gathering. Loved the BBQ skewer, which was juicy with charred edges. I can't say I loved the pork adobo because I make the best pork adobo and I like mine on the sweeter side. The lumpias, however, LOVE. I ended up buying more because they're cooked to order and that golden crisp is everything! If I ever see this food truck around someday, I'd definitely come back for more.

It's a Philippine-American restaurant with a weekly rotating menu, excellent fresh food prepared by a Chef (wife) from the Philippines and her Husband, who is a great Host! I had spring rolls, a fresh tea and a delicious beef soup with ingredients that fully satisfied my tongue. It was a lot of food, so I would suggest going on an empty stomach. :) Highly recommend if you're ever in northwest Alabama heading toward Huntsville.

Their coolers are full of all the Asian ingredients you could want. They have some things that no other market in town has. And if they don't have something that you want, they can order it for you. The kimchi is very good. They are open 7 days a week. I think their fresh seafood and veggies come in on Tuesday afternoons. I highly recommend this store especially over the much bigger store by 88 Buffet. They even have some Vietnamese prepared good. Even though they have food from all over Asia, I think they specialize in Chinese . Michael will always tell me how how to cook vegetables that I know nothing about.

We've been regular customers at this store for quite some time, often stopping in while my children…read moreattend piano lessons right across the street. It's been a convenient and familiar place for us, which is why this experience was so disappointing. During our most recent visit, my daughter walked in holding an apple she was already eating as we browsed. Almost immediately, the teller confronted us in a way that felt unnecessary insisting that she could not eat the apple inside the store. The manner in which this was handled felt far beyond a simple policy reminder--it felt uncomfortable. As an African-American family, the interaction left us feeling singled out and disrespected in a place we had previously felt welcome. No customer should be made to feel this way--especially in a business we've supported repeatedly. Based on this experience, I would strongly caution others, particularly African-American families, to think twice before visiting this location.

I also was looking for Three Crabs Fish Sauce. They didn't have it on the shelves with lots of varieties of fish sauce. When I asked if they carry it, I found out it is kept up front near the cash register. I also purchased egg roll wrappers and Japanese sweet potatoes. I looked at the whole bitter melon and wanted to buy it but it was not fresh. There was sliced bitter melon where when buying one cannot see the sides of the bitter melon and I didn't buy it. I don't like slimy. This store sells a variety of Asian foods, mostly Vietnamese. There are lots of selections of jarred and canned sauces. You should stop by to peruse the groceries they have. I saw fresh fish, fresh shrimp and fresh crabs too!

While waiting for our food, I noticed the people next to us were kind of playing with their food. Shortly there after, they left leaving most of their food uneaten. I ordered the steak salad. I was asked if I'd like to upgrade my cut. No. Meat is your specialty. Why would I need to upgrade? I soon found out that answer - if I wanted to be able to chew the steak, I should have gotten the upgrade. The steak that I was able to chew did taste very good, I just wish the whole salad was like that. Also, I specifically asked for no onions, raw onions make me sick. Luckily, they were large enough to pick out - it's just frustrating My husband got the steak sandwich. Besides being completely overwhelmed by a nondescript hoagie roll, like mine, his steak was tough. The toppings added nothing to the sandwich. We also ordered a side of asparagus. The handful of spears were burnt and inedible. Though quite far for us, if the food were good, I'd have absolutely no qualms in returning. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. We won't be back.
