When I came in they gave 2 bendable fans. They took me to their booth, then that's when they started to offfer me air fryers, etc and it kept going.After 5 or 4 items in sight I was amazed, all free. Only if I buy a water treatment machine to connect to faucet amounting to 50,000. Which I have to pay 48$ monthly. My husband came just in time to stop me from swiping my credits card. As I've learned from the employees that they prey on senior citizens. The question is why would they let This company operate, unless they own it. Be careful everyone.

As a Philippines first-timer staying in a hotel close to this market, it was super convenient for…read moremy trip. It's open 24-7 which adds to the convenience. I loaded up on snacks for my room here multiple times throughout my trip. Having visited multiple times, I saw it calm, and then I saw it packed and super busy. Half of the store is food, snacks, fruit, and various other things. The other half of the store consists of drinks... from water to soda to fruit drinks to alcohol. It's all there for you. I also noticed a small pharmacy section tucked in the front corner but it never seemed like anyone was over there. The aisles are narrow and cramped. Also, the registers are always staffed but the lineup sends people lining up down the aisles of the market. You can imagine how tight and crowded this makes things. It wasn't too big of a deal but it seemed like there were rarely ever people on the drinks side of the store. They could easily reorganize the store if they wanted. I'm only taking off one star for the fruit selection. If you step outside and over to the jeepney terminal, more fruit can be found. And it's cheaper as well. I picked up a pack of 4 green mangoes here... even the bagger guy commented on how they were expensive at 20 pesos for 4. As far as being a quick stop for snacks and water... this market is perfect! Additional note: Bring your reusable bags or they'll charge you. No big deal but make sure you account for a bag cost if you don't have one.

Negative points are that the prices are higher than Puregold down the street; I didn't notice any BOGO deals; you have to pay more for imported goods than other grocery stores; there's no "fresh" meat & seafood section; during busy hours they're crowded, making it difficult maneuvering the narrow aisles. If I can't find what I need at Puregold, then I come here early in the morning to avoid the crowds. It serves it's purpose. FYI - they charge you an additional 2 pesos if you buy a drink from the refrigerated section.

Located at the heart of Binondo on Ongpin Street, Bee Tin has not changed much over the years, making it a must-see stop in Chinatown. The Chinese deli/food mart has everything you need from preserves, imported food, Chinese candies and sweets, cured/smoked meats, dehydrated produce, frozen goods and more. I really like going here because there's so much to see and buy that's not usually in your local grocery. I think I picked up the habit of learning how to appreciate delis such as Bee Tin thanks to my grandma who'd always bring me whenever she needs to replenish her supply of preserves. Speaking of preserves, you really have to taste Bee Tin's selection because there's a lot of them! They are neatly stored in bins and you can buy them according to weight. My favorites are the plums - they are pretty large and the mix of sweet and sour has a nice effect on the palette. Another thing I'm crazy about is Bee Tin's beef jerky. While they also have the packaged kind of beef jerkey (I'm looking at you Cow Label), their own mix of the large and leathery strips of beef is a class of its own. You can also purchase these according to weight, and we tend to buy a lot of it. (Might as well make the drive worth it right?) The taste of the beef jerky plays between sweet and salty and the meat itself isn't too hard to chew on. Before I go to the check out counter, I also make a beeline to the chocolates and candies section. Sometimes they stock these really weird but good gummy candies from China (I once bought P5 packets of peach and cola flavored candies - these were really good!), and they also have imported Japanese chocolate snacks like Pocky. Other stuff you can see at Bee Tin are the packaged noodle soups, dry seaweed, Chinese candies and chocolates, haw flakes and lots more other stuff. Another plus for Bee Tin is that their prices are a lot cheaper than in regular groceries.

I used to really, really love Japanese food, but when I stopped eating meat and seafood I realised…read morehow difficult it is to get Japanese food that's suitable for vegans here in Manila, as even vegetable ramen has stock made of pork bones, and sashimi and most sushi are all out of the question. So, most of the time I have to make my own Japanese food at home. Fuji Mart is just 3 minutes away from my apartment, and I do stop by here to buy some nori whenever I want to make veggie sushi, and Kikkoman soy sauce for when I want to make vegan yakimeshi. I mean, of course they have nori. But there are other things I like about Fuji Mart, such as they sell good Japanese tofu, instant miso soup, wasabi, Japanese breadcrumbs, kombu seaweed (great for making veggie stock!), Japanese spices, sesame seeds and edamame! I've never come across edamame being sold in supermarkets. I have yet to veganize my other Japanese food favourites, such as tonkatsu, ramen, and gyoza. But once I do take on those challenges, naturally this is where I'll be stopping by for ingredients.

It is so sad to witness the missed opportunity that is Fuji Mart Japanese Grocery. I mean there are…read moreso many Japanese products that can and should be sold here in the country. Whoever owns this grocery already put up the money to rent this slot, so it's odd that there are not enough products sold to justify it's existence. This place has the usual alcoholic beverages from the Land of the Rising Sun, including sake which I really like. They also have an assortment of tofu products, as well as some spices. But outside of this, they don't have too much else to offer consumers. I would, for example, like to see them carry the widest possible array of instant noodles, if only because the local ones and the made-in-China ones aren't all that tasty. Japan also has some of the best chocolates and assorted sweets that can grow on you. Even their ice creams with their odd flavors can be winners. Here's hoping that in the months and years to come, they can expand their product line. I'm sure they will have ready buyers for all things Japanese, not only because there is a small Japanese community in Better Living, but because us Pinoys have also developed a taste for all things Japanese.

I'm Mart is a different store than I'm Mart II on Don Juico…read more This is the biggest Korean grocery store in Korea Town. It's walking distance from the corner of Don Juico and Fil-Am Friendship Hwy. There are a few parking spaces in the front and the guard can help you maneuver in and out of them: the street traffic can be busy. The fruits and veggies are better here than Puregold. Some of the items don't have price tags on them or on the shelf, so you'll need to use their price check scanner at the back. You'll find me here only IF I'm in the immediate area AND I am in the mood to pick up some seaweed snacks, frozen dumplings or specialty Korean items I need for a recipe. I would much rather go to the daughter store (I'm Mart II) on Don Juico near Puregold, because it's newer, cleaner and staff are friendlier.

There's even a small play area and a set of food stalls where you can leave companions who are not involved in the shopping behind. If I had my own sari-sari store I'm sure I'll frequent this place more because items are sold on wholesale prices. I'm also amazed on how prices can get really low for highlighted items, products and packages. You just need a little patience when lining up in the cashiers as people tend to hoard stuff. They should also consider adding more basket lanes. Nevertheless, I still enjoy it in the neighborhood as it has everything under one roof, at an arm's reach.

Store is clean, bright, organized and well stocked. Lots of bargains scattered throughout so keep your eyes open. I appreciate that the meats are covered with plastic wrap to protect them from any flies (didn't see any in the store); no funky smells here, a BIG plus. Clearance items are out in the front and along the aisles on the left side of the store. They sell bulk items like dried fruit and rice. I am pleased that small size packages are available (I'm only cooking for two), besides big bulk packages, which are a cost saver for me. They have a nice assortment of wrapping paper and gift bags. You can also find a small makeup section and an office/school supplies section. I find many of the brands that I use are available here at reasonable prices. BIG props for having a bubble tea place inside. They have tables where I can rest and enjoy a drink, before lugging my groceries home. Their parking lot is comparatively big if you look at other lots in Korea Town. You can easily turn a SUV around before leaving the parking lot. This saves you from having to back out into traffic, so much safer in this area. This is now my favorite non-Korean grocery store here in Korea Town.
