    Halo-Halo
    Maria W.

    Hellloooo Halo-Halo! They do it right here with crushed ice, evaporated milk, ube, sweet beans, sugar palm kaong, jackfruit strips, nata de coco gelatin, ice cream and flan. So, so good. Nothing takes you back like a nostalgic sugar rush from the happy snacks of childhood. If the ice cream was Ube flavor, this dessert would be perfect and I'd be 5 years old again.

    Wish they use less plastics for dine in but what do I know right. This place is perfectly located on our way to Costco and parking never issue. Also with the liquor shop next door, you can get a quick bite here after all the shopping. We wanted to come here for a while now since we moved upstate partially. After being sick of Costco hot dog for a meal, we decided to drop in here for a quick snack. The noodle is the must here. You can get a meal combo with a drink for around $10. There are so so much snack. If you are Filipino, it's like a candy store here. They have so many dishes to choose from and that will require at least 10+ visits to eat them all. Space is reasonably spacious. I think they can arrange the seats and shelves better than it is at the moment. The decor can use some updating.

    Authentic Filipino taste and the price is right on the spot. Not too fancy and not too poorly managed. Had been here a couple of times for my catering needs and they always meet my expectations. The dinuguan (pork blood stew), bistek (beef steak), spring rolls are some of my family's fave Filipino food. The leche flan is a perfect as a dessert and so does the sapin-sapin. The staffs here are very friendly too, feels like home to me. I highly recommend this to all foodies who would like ti explore Filipino dishes.

    Mongolian beef with garlic rice and coconut curry squash and string beans

    Food was tasty but beef was really fatty and all the food in the hear trays was so lukewarm, I don't know if it would be considered safe. I'd give them another chance because I like supporting local mom and pop eateries. They also have a grocery store for Filipino products. Next time I'd order off the menu instead of from heat trays. The desserts look tasty.

    Pork with rice

    Stopped by on the way to the Catskills and wanted some Filipino food. Ordered the chicken adobo, pork with coconut milk and grilled pork with rice. All the dishes were tasty. The chicken adobo was tender and the adobo sauce was great over the rice. The pork with coconut milk was also very tender and the sweetness of the coconut milk gave an added depth of flavor. And the grilled pork was my kid's favorite. there was nothing left over! Enjoyed my brief visit to the Tropical Hut and wouldn't hesitate to stop here again when I'm in the area.

    Horrible dry fish
    Brad B.

    I was hoping for a great experience, but not. Fish was as dry and hard as possible, its was inedible. Glass noodles had minimal flavor and were over cooked, I had to add a ton of Suracha to taste anything. Pulled pork, vinegar based was very good, not excellent. One of the refrigerators in the dining area sounded like a truck, horrible. Service was great, very sweet ladies serving.

    Food was delicious and they have affordable prices they also have a mini grocery store too! I love that its near my work, so every lunch time I can just go out and buy food there. People working there are nice and friendly! Ambiance of the place is also good!

    Quality of food has declined significantly. They used to cook good food with generous serving when they first opened.

    There are a number of similar names for this small, but mighty, establishment floating around on…read morethe internet: Ninth Avenue International Foods, Ninth Avenue International Market, International Grocery & International Food, Ninth Avenue International Grocery, or just what's written on the sign: International Grocery. Whatever the actual name, it seems that this Mediterranean specialty store has been open since 1947, run first by the Smitsis Family, and then the Karamouzis (including brothers Sotiris, Dinos, and Panayiotis). The Karamouzis moved it a few doors north to its present location in 1983. The neighborhood around the store has evolved a great deal over the years, but inside, old world charm persists. Everywhere you look there are bulk bins, barrels, and sacks brimming with: - Spices: all the staples needed for Mediterranean, Indian and North African cuisines, including za'atar, dried tamarind, cloves, allspice, rock salt, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, red pepper, black mustard seed, etc... - Dried fruits: pineapple, apricots, raisins, figs, diced orange peel, dates, etc... - Dried nuts: cashews, macadamias, almonds in every form, walnuts, pistachios, etc.. - Grains, beans, lentils, and flours - Coffee I love that International Grocery has stuck with bins and barrels for all these years. Bulk bins were the norm when the store first opened and are so much more environmentally friendly than the ubiquitous single use plastic packaging we see nowadays. Environmentally conscious folks are increasingly coming around to appreciate bulk bins and I wouldn't be surprised if they became the hot "new" trend in coming years. If you stick with something for long enough, it comes back into fashion, right? The wonders don't end with all those glorious bins, however. Far from it. Improbably, all of the following (and more) also neatly fit into a store the size of a suburbanite's two-car garage: - Olives -- about 10-15 kinds by my last count, but I've seen even more varieties at times. I love my crisp, green Castelvetranos and black Kalamatas; the Progeny loves her pimento-stuffed Manzanillas. - Antipasti (mushrooms, artichokes, giardiniera, gigantes plaki) and preserved lemon peel - Feta (Bulgarian, Greek) and other cheeses - Tzatziki and other spreads - A variety of fresh and packaged pastries (baklava, kourabiedes, koulourakia) and halvas - Olive oils, pomegranate molasses, carob molasses - Pita breads and pasta - Rose water - Amardeen (an apricot leather used to make a Syrian drink of the same name) Prices are quite fair and the owners + staff are kind, generous, gentle and gracious. When my 10-year old privately expressed interest in the orange peel to me, one of the owners overheard and offered her some to try. They didn't look at all askance when she delightedly opened various bins to sniff the beautiful aromas within. (I did teach her to waft the smells to her nose by hand a la chemistry lab, instead of sticking her head into each bin.) As much as I detest the areas around Port Authority -- it's one of the dirtiest, smelliest parts of NYC -- I do go out of my way for International Grocery and will for as long as we're both around.

    Given the high quality of products, excellent personalized service and magical ambiance,…read moreInternational Grocery is a necessary fixture from old New York that i hope will continue well into the future! Try something from their wide range of olives, excellent cheeses, babaganouche, hummus. Treat yourself to the best dates in the city - awa baklava!!! Of course, there are spices galore, arranged in barrels, offering old world charm and earthy fragrances! Everyone working there is a gem. Thank you International Grocery!
