Philippine Food Store

This is a family owned business… the owner/​staff are so courteous… helpful…and friendly… I recommend this store for all of needs to make great food!

Small, jam-​packed with food, but no mangos?
I drove down Vets Blvd after work to catch the shop before it closed at 7pm. The impression I got from Unilocal was that it was small, but fully stocked with Philippine goods. Well Unilocal was right… it was definitely small, and jam-​packed! There were maybe 5 aisles, a handful of freezers, and shelves loaded with goodness. I came looking for frozen lumpia because OH Market did not sell any. Lo and behold in the back, upright freezers had many – chicken and pork. I was ecstatic. I asked if they sold any dried mangos, and the man told me they only had the ones from Thailand… bummer! He said that another shipment of Philippine dried mangos would come in next week. I was not disappointed because I knew I would visit this place again frequently.

Great service with a smile! The cashier was very informative about what items they sold and shipment days. The store is small but had pretty much every basic Filipino food/​ingredient you’ll need to make authentic Filipino dishes! :) item prices were average, and I appreciated the guy who helped me find my items :)

Its a tiny but very very pact place has all the stuff you need, and the owner is super friendly! It is worth going to and buying some filipino foods :)

AMAZING!!! I’m half Filipino and when I walked in, I instantly felt at home. The guy working was also very very amazing. He was helpful, kind, and friendly! More on that later.
A con might be that the store is pretty small, so definitely don’t bring all of your kids here, etc lol. It’s no issue for me – I find the more packed and the more I have to dig and search through, the happier I am. This is the perfect place to go to for some delicious Filipino goodies!
Prices were fine, I thought they were fair considering this isn’t a chain. I also don’t mind spending a few cents extra on pancit noodles or the like when I know it’s going to nice people and their store.
This place is going to be visited by me TONS! They had banana leaves! I couldn’t believe it. I had a whole list of food items I wasn’t sure where to find (like lye water), and one by one the man working the store knocked it right out of the park with helping me find every. single. item. You won’t find that service (especially with a genuine smile) at Wal Mart, that’s for sure.
Thank you Philippine Food Store! You made my visit quite lovely and I plan to be back many more times!

Yes, alot of items that you miss eating, they even have daing na bisugo, tuyo– i really miss, chippy, clover chips haha, daing na bangus, victoria sardines. Really you will feel like buying groceries just like in Manila. And the cashier who is the son of the owner can converse in tagalog which makes him more accomodating. Will surely go back to the goodies I miss.

The Philippine Food Store in Killeen is an amazing place. It is centrally located, and from the road, it’s easy to spot.
Despite the seemingly small size of the shop, you quickly realize the store is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. Rules of architecture notwithstanding, the product offering is both broad and deep. If you’re looking for an island item, your can probably find it here.
The best part of this shop is definitely the staff. They are helpful and engaging through and through. Whether you’ve lived on the islands all your life and just want to reminisce for a few moments, or you’ve never heard of Filipino food and want to try something new, the staff is there to answer all your questions.
That said there are a few small points to keep in mind. Firstly, because of the space, the product offering is custom tailored. They don’t have space to waste, so they don’t. It’s a «Philippine» Food Store.
Secondly, and again because of the size of the shop, browsing can be a bit intimidating to some. If you’re the only one there, you can probably stop and smell the flowers all you want. As more people enter the store, however, a feeling of being rushed and to «grab-​and-​go» asserts itself.
Bottom line: there are tons of places in town to go for the stereotypical «Asian» ingredients, but only one place in town offers you the feel of the Philippines through its atmosphere, people, and flavors.
If you’re looking for those island flavors, come find them here!

Your typical Philippine store – the tiniest space, yet every square inch is jam-​packed w/​merchandise. NOT a bad thing at all! I always find what I need & the owners are always friendly… not to mention, the prices are reasonable.

Very tiny place but a LOT of Filipino goodies! The customer service is great — I was asking for specific items from a brand name (Goldilocks) and they definitely helped me out with that. Got a new flag to boot! Plus their stuff is a little bit cheaper than even S.A., Austin, or Houston. I love coming to this place. =)
I also found out in my last visit that they’re going to open a new huge 2,000 sq. ft. store. I don’t know when but I can’t wait until they do. I’m hoping they’ll have a lot more variety than even the stores down here.
