Does not beat out Manila Eats for best Filipino but they do have a lot of great dishes. Pancit Bihon Lechon Kawali Daing Pinakbet All great. Feel confident in ordering any time. Chicken Adobo Sinigang Both could use a little more sour to really drive it home. Both still good but not better than Manila Eats. However, they do cook to order so that's a great perk. Only 2 tables, it's a small space with the rest of the square footage dedicated to retail. It was worth the drive from Brandon... read more

Reviewed on 3/26/24 Cuz and I stopped into this cute little combo restaurant/food market. The nice lady in back of the front cash register took our order, and we sat down in the small restaurant area in the back and we ordered egg rolls (lumpia), and Bistek Tagalog. Both of us felt like both of the foods we ordered had were well cooked but could have used more seasoning. The store has an extensive variety of Phillipine dry foods, seasonings, snacks, and frozen food. read more

Fantastic little grocery store that has a small kitchen that makes all your favorite Filipino foods. I love Filipino food. I was in the area, and I bought a bunch of treats for dinner. I bought some lumpia, pancit bihon and kawali. The prices were very reasonable. And the food was absolutely delicious. My husband is now a Pinoy food lover too! They also have a selection of Pinoy groceries (no fresh fruits or veg, though, so you'll need to stop by MD Oriental to round out your meal). There was only one person working there, so I expect you could wait for a long time if there are multiple customers. I was the only person there, and I only waited 10 minutes for my food. He was very nice and chatty and welcomed me to sit while I was waiting. read more

Great Filipino store with great homemade Filipino food! As soon as you enter the store you get blasted by some delicious smells. I got the dinuguan and rice. Tasted amazing. The meat was extremely tender, literally melts in your mouth. Mixed the two together for the best combination of flavor. The staff at the store are super nice too. Friendly customer service, guy working there is full of smiles. The ambiance was calm. The store also has many Filipino items you can purchase. You'll find almost everything you need to make your traditional Filipino meals or feast. They have canned products, dry food, refrigerated food and frozen food available. You can also get boxes you can fill up with your favorite items to send to your families or friends back in the Philippines! Honestly if you're not Filipino and you want great Filipino food, or if you've moved from California and you're craving Filipino food come here! It will not disappoint. read more

Don't expect anything fancy when you come in here since it's a true hole in the wall place that serves authentic Filipino food. You walk in and you're greeted with a small market where they sell some Filipino grocery items - from snacks to frozen items to condiments and everything in between. We specifically came here for food so we headed to the back of the market to order. It's a quaint place with only 2 tables and a kitchen. We placed our order and within 15 mins, we were served with tocilog, daingsilog, lumpia Shanghai and gulaman drink. Everything we had was delicious and took me back home. It was very hot in the eatery area which is why I docked a star (but truly feels like the weather in the Philippines if you want that authentic feel). read more

Delicious authentic Filipino dishes! Masarap! I had dinuguan with rice and DH had pancit. The place is a store packed with tight with grocery items. The kitchen is in the back with 2 small tables to dine-in. Beverage is cold water right out of a drinking fountain. No ambiance, better to order take out. read more

Found this gem while on vacation and I'm so glad we did!! We stopped in looking for real traditional Filipino breakfast and it did not disappoint. You HAVE to try the Sisig, especially. Wally is the owner and is so nice! Great service and just a very homely feel. The eating space is a little small but our family of 5 fit well. Will definitely come back when we're in the area! Thanks Wally! read more

Tasty treats in a comfortable spot! Filipino food is my favorite and this small spot did not disapoint! Prices are very reasonable and portions and the perfect sizes. I wish there were more places like this around and we will be back! read more

I took my mom and my brother when they visited last week for lunch. Ambiance is as I described before, small eating area, crowded by refrigerators and boxes. We ordered an array of food: dinuguan, lechón kawali, lumpia, fried bangus, and pinakbet. In my excitement, I forgot to take pictures, but the food came out quick, hot, and delicious as always. My mom and brother loved it. It was definitely "lutong bahay", food that is cooked in most Filipino homes. I'll always come back to this store when I'm in the area. I learned that this store has been here for twenty years and I hope they're here for twenty years more. read more

So I have fillipino friend and she told me about this place that sells lumpia (one of my favorites) and so I decided to give them a try (she couldn't make it) go into this stripmall and the tiny store is in the middle, and so I walk in and their is the gentleman behind the counter (I'm the only customer in there at the time) and I say is the restaurant open and he says yes what do you want and I say that this is my first experience in here and I ask him about what dinners he recommended and he looked at me with a confused look (like I was speaking german) and I pick 3 dinners and some lumpia; he starts to cook (he's the only employee working) and all of a sudden customers start coming in (all fillipino) and now I'm guessing he starts rushing my order and starts taking other peoples order and answering the phone, smh; long story short he comes out with my food in a small bag that barely contained my 3 pint size containers and lumpia and I say that was fast pay and leave get home open the bag and look in the containers and there was just a little meat few vegetables and a lot of broth (like I ordered soup) :-( and they all pretty much tasted alike and no love or seasoning whatsoever and no rice in any order which seemed odd, maybe because i'm a yankee (I hope not) that he showed no love, at all :-( read more

This place is good for Filipino goods! They also have a little kitchen inside where you can order legit Filipino dishes. I recommend getting their dinuguan and kare kare! So good and it hits home! The prices can be a little higher than other places though. The workers/owners are very nice and welcoming. It is pretty small inside so it can be quite difficult to get around especially with few customers. They got ice creams, noodles, frozen goods, canned goods, and all those Filipino snacks you've been craving for! read more

Best Lechon Kawali around. If you miss Filipino home cooking, this is the place. While you're at it, pickup some groceries.

Awesome small business that represents the true cultural traditions from the Philippines. Love it and the owners are awesome! Please support this quaint lil spot for keeping it traditional. Very pleasant folks and very friendly. We will spread the word for sure. read more

We've been to many Philippine restaurants in the area over the last 25+ years of being in the area. Everything has been really subpar and just never compared to my mom's cooking. This is EASILY the best Filipino food I've had in the Tampa/St. Pete area. We tried the lumpia, adobo, sisig, and lechon kawali. The lumpia were tasty. I actually never tried the adobo, but my family loved it. Sisig is very different than what I'm used to, but it was still very tasty - has a nice kick to it. The lechon was easily my favorite - crispy, and the sauce was excellent. The store itself is pretty small/tight, but they pack a lot of good items in here. I've been trying to find Royal for YEARS - and we finally found it! Definitely not as good as I remember, but it was very nostalgic for me. The owner is very nice, and they also do Balikbayan boxes (drop-off only) here. We will definitely be back. read more

We love this place!! I recommend the diniguan and sisig! Bistek is also my favorite! Can't leave without getting the lumpia! Walley and his sister make you feel right at home! This is the best Filipino food in town, they have that place next to the racquet club on fourth street, but I do not recommend it. Hate to leave bad reviews but we couldn't even finish the sisig there, very disappointing unfortunately. This place never disappoints and is very consistent with good food and friendly atmosphere! You can even catch the latest Showtime show from the Philippines while you eat! Get some Ube ice cream to take home for dessert, thank me later! read more

This is my second time back to the grocery store and my first review. 80% of the store is the grocery store. If you like some Pinoy cuisine ingredients, look no further. You can get it here. I am here actually for their 20% of store space. They have back alley kitchen restaurant. They do have two tables. I got the lechon and halo-halo. Unfortunately the lechon grill is not what I imagine roast pig. But is similar to Chinese crispy pork. However I like their dipping sauce. The brown sweet sauce is complimented the crispy pork. The halo-halo is definitely an item to have. They have many ingredients below with ice cream on top. Great drink for summer. Sweet and savory. I like their purple grain. It is enjoyable bite in the drink. One thing to improve is the store only one person. When you have long line in front of you might as well go to other restaurant. Because the wait is long. For my next visit, I like to try their Daing Fish fried. read more

If you're looking for authentic Filipino food and hospitality, Tindahang Pinoy is the perfect place to visit to feel like you're being served your favorite Filipino food right at home by your parents. They're even open every day! This place is actually a very small Filipino specialty grocery store that is covered from floor to ceiling with a vast selection of ingredients and items that are quintessential to Filipino cuisine (and Filipino snacking!). But if you take 10 steps to the back of the shop, you'll discover two small tables and thorough menu of Filipino dishes they prepare for you right then and there. The grocery clerk is also the cook so when you've decided on your meal, politely let them know and they will be happy to feed you! And best of all, no dish is over $10! So feast away. My favorites were the sinangag (garlic fried rice) and the Lechon Kawali. read more

Food is great! My grand parents are both from the Philippines and they were both goth cooks and I grew up on their Cooking. This is the closest I can get to their cooking so if I ever need a little bit of taste of home or I'm feel home sick I go here. I've had their pork menudo, pork singang, pancit bihon, and lumpia all delicious. I'll keep coming back for more as long as I live on this side of town read more

We had an absolutely wonderful experience here! My boyfriend and I used to live in the Bay Area in CA and had not been able to find good Filipino food since we moved here a year ago. We had the kare kare, canton pancit, sisig and longsilog and they were all delicious!! This place was great and the market was stocked with the best authentic Filipino groceries and staples. My boyfriend has so much fun finding all of his favorites and stock up we did! Wally was so friendly and inviting and made us feel very welcome. Thank you, Wally, for a great experience and some delicious food!! We will definitely be back and can't wait for our next visit! read more

Nanay's other kitchen in the basement so the smell of fried fish doesn't smell up the nice parts of the house. That's what this place reminds me off. Truly authentic Filipino food. Prices are ok. Nothing fancy folks. Paper plates and plastic silverware, but awesome home cooking. read more

Visited the St. Petersburg/Clearwater area for a week and we love to try local Filipino dishes and found this gem. Small shop with lots of filipino stuffs to buy. We had Lechon Kawali, Sinigang and Kare-Kare. Wow, the Kare Kare was very tasty. Nanay made these dishes all fresh in her small kitchen. Simple home cooked food and a good price. read more

Welcoming staff when you enter building. Lots of options for Asian food ingredients. Finally a place I found that has great Filipino food. small restaurant inside, def a must to try. I used to drive to largo to get Filipino food but now this is my go to, very close to me! read more

The food was spot on 100%, very nostalgic. The service was great!! Fast and Friendly. Ambiance is your authentic Filipino eatery, with that said, may not be for everyone. But I definitely recommend! We tried Palabok, Bistek, Adobo, shanghai and kawali. Loved all of it!! read more

Nice and friendly but highly over priced. I was charged $60 for 6 items. There's a large Oriental grocery store around the corner.

An unexpected gem. Wally, the store owner, is the man. He mans the grocery store himself as well as being the chef in the back, where he has 5 seats. The palabok was very nice garnished with real calamansi limes, straight from Wally's backyard. Sisig has just enough sour from the vinegar to make you keep eating more. Both dishes were absolutely delicious! read more

Had the Sisig and goodness it was amazing!!! Best i've ever had TBH. It's hard to find good flip food and i'm so glad i found this place. I don't care that it's in the back of a grocery store, has 2 tables and is the size of my bedroom...it's amazing food and you can go grocery shopping too! This will be my go to filipino place when in the Tampa Bay area! read more

I thought this place was great. It's a Philippines cuisine grocery store with a food service area and a few tables in back. What's not to like? It makes me sad that certain people who I won't name (Anna Montana) won't get out of South Tampa and support these indie places.. :P Seriously, this is a cool little place and so is the Cuban sandwich and Latin food place next door. Try something new and authentic!!! Just don't get puto. I don't like that name.. read more

I only come here for one specific item: McCormick Ube Extract. And, this market is the only place I have been able to find it for half the price it is online. My second favorite is the selection of exotic ice cream flavors like Ube and Halo Halo. The man running the register cannot answer any questions and is fairly lazy... So, if you are new to this kind of cuisine, I recommend doing your research online first before coming here and possibly bring a photo of what it is you are looking for. There is zero customer service going on, other than pushing register buttons and taking your money. On the weekends there is a nice lady cooking authentic Filipino food in the back kitchen. It is kind of pricey, but might be worth it for the experience. read more

This place is a nice little store that should be in stock of mostly anything you might need for a filipino recipe. Vegetables excluded. The previous review was right about enjoying a meal while watching TFC as well. They have 2 small tables setup in the back to partake in their cuisine (which I am yet to try). Basically everything you could ask for in a Filipino store. As General MacArthur promised the Filipinos: "I shall return!" read more

When you walk in you will find a grocery. But walk to the back and there are a couple of tables. You will be treated to a home cooked meal that you will find quite delightful. The portions are good and the prices fair - I will be taking my Filipino wife back there again - as she thoroughly enjoyed the food as much as I did. read more

We were 5 adults two kids visiting from Texas from St. Petersburg beach, my wife's Filipino and I am srilankan, with 3 grown up daughters. We arrived an hour before the store closed. Wally the owner operator/chef cooked almost 8 dishes. Started serving them one by one in 30 minutes. He cooks All by himself, and we kept ordering and ordering more, the food kept coming. I personally liked the sinigang and the Galongong was my hit. Good pit stop. I can gladly recommend his humorous Hospitality to anyone who loves authentic Filipino food. Good luck Pare. Great place. read more

Cute small grocery store. If needing Filipino ingredients and if you're missing snacks from home, a must go to. Plus they do have a small nook at the back, a mini restaurant; food that just brings and reminds you of back home plus halo-halo and sago/taho drink. read more

What a gem! I was not expecting to find this little eatery randomly after driving past it all these years. The place consists of a small Filipino store in the front with a little dining space in the back and an extremely small kitchen where the owner prepares a bunch of Filipino dishes. The dishes are cheap and really authentic. I loved the dinuguan or pork blood stew and the silog dishes which reminded me of my time in the Philippines a few months ago. Since he's the only one cooking you might have to wait a little bit for the food to be prepared, but oh boy is it worth it. When I'm back in town I will definitely come here for my Filipino fix. Finally don't forget to add some of the homemade vinegar to your food like a true Pinoy! Finally the store part they have some staples like banana sauce and Goldilocks products, however the selection is not very high so you'll probably be off looking at one of the other Filipino stores in the area if you can't find something here. read more

This place is very good but you have to be very patient. Just imagine you step into someone house (not a very big house) and their mom is cooking for you...that's exactly what this place make you feel. I highly recommend the sisig and the sinigang. read more
