Tambuli Seafood Market

One of four Tambuli seafood markets in LA County, this location in Cypress is similar to the others we've been to: crammed full of mostly Filipino groceries, including a vast array of fresh foods. This one had the meat market, fish counter (where you can pick any fish and they will prepare it for you), and a small buffet serving the classics for carryout (no place to sit-down and eat-in however). My mother-in-law had a list of all the supplies she wanted, and we were able to find everything, including the brands that she likes. Sales aren't a thing here...the price is the price. Checkout wasn't too long, and they accept credit cards.

The cashier who obviously look old is calling everyone " Ate" ?!!! This is very insulting since she looks older than everyone she's calling "ate???? Gello " ate" you need to get a big mirror then look at yourself . Or should we give you a mirror ????

Very good service. Inside the store was a bit crowded of stocks, the aisles are narrow. Food was okay.

Local market that caters to more Filipino consumers.The brands carried here are usually Philippine products. It seems like prices are a little higher here than elsewhere but it's a smaller local grocery.Also has a takeaway counter for readymade food, menu offerings are changed daily. Depending on the time you arrive, some typical midday snack food can be had , I was there at around 2 pm and there was a newly made batch of Turon - think of sweetened banana egg rolls .Honest cashier - the customer ahead of me forgot her cash change when she went to get a cart for her grocery purchase. The cashier set it aside till the customer returned. I appreciated that kind gesture.Fish counter with someone who will clean the fish for you. The fish sits out on ice and I feel like if it was a better display of the goods, I'd be more inclined to buy.It's a typical thing to have a slightly frenetic vibe for small markets I think, between customers and deliveries all happening at once and tight parking.Asian and minority owned business.

Small market with take-out deli & nice selection of bakery items. The meat & seafood counter in the rear has a pretty decent selection considering the size if the market.The prices of the produce are decent and sometime better than the large Chinese, Vietnamese, or Korean supermarkets in neighboring Cerritos or Garden Grove. What is especially nice, is that you can find bittermelon and malunggay aka moringa leaves when in season. (Although these items are cheaper at Cerritos Farmers Market, this place is a good alternative if you didn't wake up on Saturday morning in time!)My mom amd I dislike the quality of commercial brand chicharron at the large chain supermarkets, so we've been buying the independent makers at Latino markets. That all changed when we tried the freshly cooked chicharron here! The pieces are smaller & crispy/crunchy, with a fewer ones as hard as a rock & saltier like at the Latino markets.My absolute favorite item to buy is the Patupat suman at the deli counter. Suman is a moist, soft yet chewy subtly sweet Filipino dessert/snack of glutinous rice that is cooked with coconut milk before being steamed in banana leaves. It is a great choice for anyone wanting something that is not cloyingly sweet and sugary.

Stop selling food that has mold already please always double check what you selling we are customer is our job to check it so we end up buying mold our money goes in the trash

I've been frequenting this market because it's currently (during COVID) harder to find some specialty items from the Phillipines and this store is on my route.Two topics recently made me remember to write up this Yelp review...1) They were out of a product, so I asked if they knew when they'd were scheduled to get more. The lady at the counter told me to ask the manager and pointed in the direction of behind the wall somewhere. A lady came out to help me and she was kind enough to take my name and number down and said she'd let me know when and if they got a shipment. That was nice.2) It was lunchtime, so I decided to purchase food from their to-go area. The lady was very nice and dug deep to give me the "biggest" milk fish, but I was a bit shocked at the price, $9.49. Turns out it WAS big, so it took me two meals to finish, but my complaint is that there are no prices posted anywhere for any of the to-go items. Adding that would take this to-go area up a notch. Feeling the price of the milk fish was "reasonable", but I felt the 2-item combo was overpriced. I just got 3 sausages, rice & some bean sprout mixture (which was swimming in oil) for $8.99

I shop here at times since its so close to my house. Therefore its convenient, and I do like that. I come to this store for mostly some basic Filipino/Asian foodstuffs, such as glass and rice noodles, and other items. I like buying the variety of canned tuna, some dry goods, etc. They do have delicious flan. I've been to other Filipino markets. To be honest, they are a bit like this one, but much larger. I'm not very familiar with most of them on a constant basis, so I don't have too much to compare to. This is not a bad place actually. I look to this store for when I don't want to drive 4 miles away for a larger selection.

Small grocery store. Seems like a real cozy place with good quality fish. We ended up buying some lobsters here which were great. They also had some interesting ingredients like grape seeds. Employees don't speak great English and we not the most helpful but everyone was really nice.

Went to the meat area... they gave me rotten pork belly...he sneaked it in with the rest of the pork belly that was ok.. got home and seen what he did.. had to throw it away... wasted my money
