Anna's Oriental Store

I've really wrestled with writing this review. So much to love. And yet, so much unfulfilled potential. The "store" section is very limited. No real perishables like fruits or vegetables. An oriental store without fresh bok choy or bean sprouts, etc? Many items available were standard canned water chestnuts, baby corn and various rice vinegars, chili oils, hoisin sauces and the like. Most of which you could find in a standard grocery. I should acknowledge the incredible help from the store "clerk" who patiently explained items and helped us find things that were already staring us in the face, but with non-English labels. Be sure to ask for the homemade kimchi. Outstanding. Now, slide over to the other side of this little store to the restaurant section where you'll find an extremely limited menu. Anna works the kitchen, making everything from scratch. Don't be in a hurry, because Anna doesn't take any shortcuts. Also, it's important to note Anna's Asian isn't your standard "Americanized" Chinese food. It's made Filipino style. I figured LoMein was a good starter-and it was very tasty. But unlike any LoMein I've ever tasted. Different noodles. Different flavoring. Lots of chicken chunks. Tasty. But different. My wife ordered Chop Suey with Shrimp served with a side of steamed rice. Large shrimp, cabbage, carrots & celery in a light sauce. Again, unexpected flavors. My wife loved it. Then another diner suggested something called Lumpia. Huge chunks of pork. Some vegetables in an absolutely delicious broth. I wasn't sure if Lumpia is a soup or a stew. And I didn't care. It was that good. We got our food to go...and we made 3 meals out of our order. So, here's the deal-if you're feeling adventurous and want to try a different style of Asian cooking, hit up Anna's. It's fresh. It's flavorful. And it's "different". If Asian/Chinese is a comfort food and you prefer the traditional style, Anna's might not be for you. But since most items are under $8, take a leap of faith and support this unique small business.

I forgot to take pictures, but this little store will suffice for something close.We moved from a big city, so we are used to large Filipino grocery stores with many options.We didn't try the food here but got some snacks and pancit canton stove top noodles(better than ramen). There are only 3 aisles, and a small freezer section.We got chips, a few treats, and vina cafe coffee which was $7.There was a large pack of Kopiko coffee for $17, and it was almost as big as a sky flakes box.Service was good.The Lola in there was very nice and sweet.I didn't see any other staff while I was there.The ambiance was a standard small grocery store look.No special decor or style. I'll be back to get Filipino snacks and coffee when we just want to get something quick and close.

We just discovered Anna's, but we will be regular customers. The food is delicious!We ordered lumpia, pancit, pork fried rice and beef and broccoli to go. For starters, the lumpia was crisp and tasty. The pancit and pork fried rice was flavorful and the pork was tender. The helpings are very generous, so I would recommend splitting a dish or being prepared for leftovers.The staff were very friendly and helpful. We're thrilled to have found authentic Filipino food in this area!

Anna's is a small Asian grocery store specializing in Filipino food. It's located off of Eastern Boulevard in Clarksville. What it lacks in size and selection, it makes up for in warm service and delicious hot food from the kitchen. I was warmly greeted the minute I walked in by two of the sweetest ladies ever. They offered me an egg roll from a batch that they had just cooked and were snacking on. I was smitten from the jump. I immediately ordered at the counter, as I knew what I wanted before I walked in, thanks to Yelp. I ordered a serving of lumpia and some pork pancit. As I waited, I perused the small store and enjoyed conversing with the other lady. They were both so genuinely friendly and welcoming. My food didn't take long. She packaged it up to go, as I hadn't told her if I was eating in or not. I was glad she did this because the portion was huge! There was no way I could finish even half of it. In fact, I ended up getting three meals from that one order. The lumpia was tasty and fried golden. The pork pancit was equally as good. I chose the yellow noodles. Two people could definitely split that dish, and it was less than $7! Talk about a value. The grocery store is an abbreviated one for sure. However, in my opinion, it's the kitchen side of this business that shines. That, and the wonderful service, makes for five stars from me. I look forward to returning. Good food and kind hearts are located here.

This small Asian grocery run by two adorable Filipino women is a treat. It is like literally eating in their kitchen. There is only 4 things on the menu so ordering is pretty easy. They both started grabbing things off the shelf and out of the refrigerator and began cooking my lunch. I had noodles with pork and a beef egg roll. I was asked white or yellow noodles. Um... yellow? They ended up being very thin noodles with a nice chew to them. Cabbage carrots and onions with a side of siracha because I asked if they would make it spicy. They were very interested in how I liked everything, if it was spicy enough...I don't make it over the bridge very often but if I do, Anna's is on the list.

"Sweet mystery of life I've finally found youuuuu!!" Ok, maybe breaking out a la Madeline Kahn from Young Frankenstein is a bit over the top but I've been looking for authentic Filipino food in Louisville for quite some time. Sari Sari closed as did a couple other Filipino-style food spots about town and it's really a difficult type of ethnic cuisine to find around Louisville. You may see touches of it in Edward Lee's cuisine or even at places like YangKee Noodle or at Joy Luck but unless there's another place I just don't know about, you're simply not going to find anything more authentic than the Filipino food at Anna's. It is straight up as close to showing up at mom's as I'm likely to find.Anna's is set up as an Oriental grocery, which seems to specialize in Filipino-style foods, however, the grocery isn't the draw. It's the little deli kitchen attached. I now know where I can get chicken or pork adobo with white rice, pancit bihon and lumpia Shanghai without driving the 3 hours to Mom & Dad's. And while I can make most of these dishes myself, I'm a bit too impatient to do it regularly. Plus, if you know anything about Filipino food, you rarely make a dish for one, you make it for 10. Food is cooked by Anna fresh to order, and portion sizes run large with nothing on the menu board over $8. The grocery side is sparse and I'll likely still use Lanceta Trading as my go-to Filipino grocery, but I can still pickup a good soy sauce here. There are a couple tables for seating & a slightly pervasive fish smell but nothing I'm not accustomed to.

While it might be a little hard to find the store based on Google maps it is an absolute pleasure to go here. It's just like any type of family run grocery store! It had absolutely everything I needed and in extremely large quantities as well! An extremely large bottle of oyster sauce for the same price at what a small bottle would be at Krogers! Everything was extremely well priced and the selection was great! It's such a small cute store to have such a great selection! And Anna is such a sweat lady who is extremely welcoming and is just a joy to be around! Im coming back 100% when I need anything from eastern Asia as not only is the atmosphere completely welcoming but the prices are great too! 10/10 recommend!

Their Pork adobo is amazing and the family is so friendly I will definitely be back there's nothing like authentic Filipino cuisine

Go to Anna's and get Asian or Pacific Islander food and be happy. This store has Asian food made to order, such as "lumpia" the Filipino egg rolls and "pansit" the stir fried noodles that Asians are craving for. Anna's is like coming home for me and I am sure you will feel the same. At sarap!Josie

I have been looking for a good filipino food place that serves lumpia and pancit , I'm so glad I found this one and they also have everything you need to make your own
