Cherry Foodarama 8017 Main Street, Houston, TX 77025

"Yesterday, 3/2/24, I had an incredibly disappointing experience at Cherry Foodarama, thanks to a greedy cashier whose behavior left me feeling frustrated and disrespected. For months, I've been a loyal customer at this store, always impressed by the helpfulness of their butcher. However, yesterday's encounter with a cashier shattered that perception entirely. As usual, I went to purchase some pork for my cooking needs. Typically, the butcher graciously dices the meat for dishes like dinuguan and menudo without any extra charge. However, yesterday, this cashier insisted that I pay an additional fee for the "labor (though with the help of the machine) involved in cutting the pork. I was taken aback by this demand, especially since the price of the substandard fatty pork was already quite high at $5+ per pound. It felt like an unnecessary and greedy move on the part of the cashier, especially considering the excellent service I had received in the past. Feeling frustrated and disheartened by this encounter, I've decided to take my business elsewhere in the future. Seafood City, with its reputation for excellent customer service and willingness to assist with meat preparation without extra charges, seems like a much better option for my needs. In conclusion, I will not be returning to Cherry Foodarama after this disappointing experience. Greed should never overshadow customer service, and unfortunately, that's exactly what happened here."

"I can find most Filipino grocery items sold here, such as frozen fish and other frozen products. Inside, they also served cooked home Filipino foods like adobo, lumpia, pork lechon belly, chicharon bulaklak, fried bangus, and much more. There's also an LBC balikbayan drop-off center. They also sell fresh produce and meat products like longanisa. Cleanliness of the place is fair. The lighting inside the store looks kimda gloomy for me. Customer service is very poor, and something that needs to be improved. The lady from the cashier looks ungrateful. Some staff members are unhelpful."

"I like the BBQ. The combo meal's price seems fair. There is LBC inside the store and SMDC agents selling condos. The agents are nice and accommodating."

"The meal choices is excellent, especially on Fridays before 11 AM. Additionally, because this is a cafeteria-style setting, there are enough workers to serve your meal. The cuisine is excellent, but to get the finest portion, arrive early. This is the best location in the vicinity of the medical facility to eat Filipino food."

"I know there have been some negative reviews, but my experience didn't match those at all. The staff was nice and friendly enough to me. I was able to find most of the Filipino grocery items I wanted with no problems. I would shop there again."
