Asian Mart

Excellent Filipino market with a delicious deli Friday through Sunday. It's pretty small and easy to miss but don't let that deter you! They've got pretty much any SE Asian pantry item you could want in addition to loads of snacks, drinks, and frozen foods. The owners are insanely nice, helpful, and willing to answer any questions you have. I'd called a few times to ask about their, very rotational, grilled squid. After not calling for a few weeks they even called me yesterday to let me know they'd have it all weekend! Speaking of...It's amazing. Really nice grill flavor with a lightly sweet BBQ sauce that's not slathered on. It's stuffed with peppers and some garlic, red pepper, and some herbs that keep it moist and add a lot of flavor. It's huge and lasted me two meals. Very tender and not too chewy like a lot of places. Perfectly cooked. I'll definitely get it next time it comes around. They've got Halo Halo, pan de sal, and loads of other house made desserts to go with the lechon, whole fried fish, and other deli foods. I'll be back soon since there are too many options for only one or two trips!

Just discovered this hidden gem - a Filipino market! Asian Mart is located in a little strip mall. I went here on a Saturday during the day and there was plenty of parking available in their private parking lot. There was only a couple other people inside the market. There were social distancing markers on the floors too.There is a pretty decent variety of items from the Philippines and other products from Asia. They also have some fresh baked goods and foods like barbeque, atchara, hopia, and more. Make sure to look at the expiration dates on everything you buy because I did notice some expired things. Overall so glad to have discovered Asian Mart and will definitely be back often!!

Not coming here again. Overpriced and they make you purchase $10 worth of items or refuse service

My Filipino friend told me about this place. I cannot believe I drove 20 minutes to get here but it was worth it. It is a Filipino market packed with produce from Asia. There is a mini deli in the back store with a small open kitchen. I did not get a chance to look into the what they got back there but they looked delicious. I came here for their Pork Buns, I was told you cannot find this brand in other Asian stores and it is true because I checked out Sun Foods, a bigger Asian Market, in the cities and they do not stock them. These delicious buns are too die for. You can buy a bunch and freeze them for later. Also their salted duck eggs is a must. It comes in a container of six purple colored eggs. Well that is all I came here for, those two items, and I was a happy customer.

My Wife and I just moved here from Southern California and we're very happy that there's a Filipino store that sells most of the products that we like to buy and eat. The owner and his staff are very nice and friendly. They also serve Halo Halo and it was really good. Makes me miss home. Thank you for having this store. We will definitely keep coming back.

A very disappointing experience there... 1) Queso de Bola purchased for $8 - was assured by the cashier that it was not expired (due to no expiration date on packaging), 2) fan needed in back of store as everything smells of old oil from cooking and smoky.After I got home, I emailed www.magnolia.com.ph and gave them all the numbers on the outside and inside of the packaging - they said it expired March 2019 - such a treat to buy something that expired and meant to be enjoyed over the Christmas holiday!! There are more in the store and I'm sure they are expired as well. This is in a location better than Phil Oriental Imports (789 University Ave W, St Paul, MN 55104) but I'd prefer to Phil Oriental Imports due to the quality of what they sell.

Great selections and the people are very friendly too! I would recommend this place, especially if you're new to the area.
