Phil Oriental Imports

"What a phenomenal Filipino Grocery Store in St Paul which was recommended to me by one of my good friends. As someone who never had any food Filipino food before, I had a first-time opportunity to try unbelievably delicious Lumpia in simple terms a unique iteration of egg rolls (they have a hot food take-out within this establishment too, please do not hesitate to try it.) I also bought some unique groceries that I never tried before which were tasty such as the barbecue corn chips, and the imported dried mangos that were fresh not the stuff from Costco or Aldi. Plus, the staff especially the owner were very welcoming, kind, and great to chat with. 10/10 Experience, and I will absolutely support this small business. I could tell how much love and hard work was given to have a place like this in the Twin Cities."

"If you want to find some unusual spices and items not sold anywhere else go to this place …it’s little but huge in cultural foods …mostly spices. The only thing in American in there is an onion."

"I always ship my balikbayan boxes from here. They are so helpful and friendly. Like being. In the Philippines. :) A very nice and clean Filipino supermarket (tindahan). It's fun to see all the products I remember from the philippines.. I visited today to pick up a cardboard box to fill with things I want to ship to my family in the Philippines. For sure they will love receiving a balikbayan box from the US. UPDATE 10/24:"

"We found this store after a friend recommended. We wanted some very specific west African stuff and we couldn’t find it anywhere else but found it here. As soon as we entered the guy at the shop walked over and was eager to help. There was a particular item we were looking for that was not available but then he took a picture and assured us that he would get that next week. Hence he seemed very resourceful. They carry oriental, info-Chinese, Filipino, Indian, middle eastern, and west African retail and wholesale stuff. They have 10 parking spots in the back."
