I purchased a Too Good To Go order for $15 worth of food for $4.99. Location and atmosphere feel fine. I received a bag with a to go box of 2 scoops of rice, 6 pieces of lumpia and a small serving of Chicken Ginataang Langka (Jackfruit in Coconut Milk). The chicken was mostly bones but the flavor was good. The lumpia was the star of this surprise plate.

Disappointed with the Service. Hoping for Better Customer Care
I don’t usually leave negative reviews, but I wanted to share my recent experience in hopes it helps improve customer service here.
I placed a phone order for my niece’s small house party with a few of her college friends. The person who took my order gave me a total and said I could pay in person at pickup. Later on, I decided it would be easier for my niece if I paid ahead of time, so I called back.
That’s when I was told there had been a miscalculation on my original total. I completely understood, mistakes happen and I was fine with the updated amount.
However, I was caught off guard by the tone of voice and it felt a bit dismissive when I asked for an itemized bill, which I think is a fair request.
What really stood out though was during my next call to make the payment. The original staff member that took my order, answered the phone pleasantly at first, but as soon as she realized it was me, she was SHOUTING “CALL IN 5 MINUTES!” without any explanation and hung up. It felt unprofessional and left me really disappointed.
I understand that things get busy and mistakes happen, but a little patience and kindness towards customers goes a long way.
I hope this feedback helps improve communication moving forward.

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I called in an order at the Manila Food Mart, but I decided to save myself some cooking time and ordered some Filipino food to go for a dinner with friends! Got the Pancit Bihon, Lumpia Shanghai (which they nicely offered to do as a half-and-half of pork and chicken), and some delicious pork skewers. The flavors were fantastic, and everything tasted incredibly fresh. The place had a charming mini mart vibe, making it a perfect one-stop shop for a variety of delicious options. The service on the phone and in house was great! Give them a visit!

Good food, very tasty. Clean atmosphere. Kim explained there dishes, before we ordered. Nice staff.
Wheelchair accessibility: 2 Handicap parkings & was very accessible to enter restaurants.
Walked in and after a couple questions, placed order. 2 Filipino people walked up, one on the left side, one on the right. Both were served before me. Walked out. 3 employees said "bye!"

I am from San Diego and will always choose to stop by at Manila Food Mart whenever I’m in Orange County. Their food is always fresh and delicious, and their Halo halo is the best I’ve ever tasted. They also have a mini grocery mart with a variety of selections. The employees and the owners are very kind and always greeting their customers with a smile.
