We bought a whole lechon and we paid extra for a Lechon de Cebu. Was very disappointed. Lechon was bland, no taste at all. No salt or even spices inside the belly. Meat was still raw in some parts. Was very embarrassed to my visitors. Will not recommend. Paid $300 for the lechon.

It's a small store where you can find products from the Philippines. You can get Filipino hot food and treats here. A lot of varieties such as suman, bibingka, balut etc. The food here is mediocre. The people here are not the friendliest.

I just called to inquire about the lead time to order a holiday ham and the person that answered the phone was quite rude and presumptuous thinking I was ordering for Christmas when my plan was to order for New Year's Eve so I had to clarify and she was probably embarrassed by her assumption and tried to back track and rudely hung up on me. Never ordered here and never will and after further review of their Holiday ham here on Yelp it seems they have nothing to brag about anyways poor customer service and the person that answers the phone needs to be educated on soft skills and good customer service by politely answering customer's inquiries. She definitely knows how to lose a potential customer quick

I ordered Ham for the first time yesterday to serve for Thanksgiving. What a DISAPPOINTMENT !!! Paid $100 for something that looks good from the outside but once sliced, it's DRY and BLAND. DOES NOT TASTE ANYTHING ! What's more surprising is the MEAT SEEMS OLD ! Have a little bite and it will leave a distinct roughness inside your mouth !!! I will bring it to their attention and won't recommend !

Another filipino food haven in jersey city. I was attracted to their freshly baked goodies!

The place is small, but they carry most filipino goods

We spent $350+ here to get some catered food for a Filipino family gathering. We ordered several dishes but most of it was bad: vegetables and meat were cut in huge chunks, the caldereta didn't have enough sauce, some vegetables were undercooked and felt very raw, the Ube was grainy (instead of milky), the pancit looked like a rancid German pub salad and had a lot of water at the bottom and barely any noodles... Terrible experience, the cooks here are no good unfortunately...The only items that were good were the BBQ skewers, the egg rolls and the casava cake.I won't ever come back here.

I always ordered catering food here, not the best but convenient. Recently I inquired and expected the price on the website was incorrect as it wasn't updated, the problem is last couple of weeks that I called the price keep going up within 2 weeks! They just make it up and justify it by saying the price on the website isn't updated but to increase from my first call to the last (all within 2 weeks!) When I called the lady over the phone, she just hung up! Needless to say I went somewhere else. Ang sungeeeet!!! Ganyan din ugali if you shop in store!!! Maraming tindahan at kainan dyan sa NJ mag hanap kayo ng iba! Na mag appreciate sa pera nyo! Susme!
Brightly Directions
Fresh fish available. Cooked dishes also available.
Get the Tupigs and the purple rice coconut pudding. These two are the most delicious desserts Casa Victoria has. They have a bunch of other rice puddings and rice based cakes - but these are forgettable. The store has an extraordinary number of Philippine groceries - you are bound to find everything you need to cook a regional meal. Avoid stuff in the fridge as far as possible. The fridge has problematic spores which end up on any rice pudding stored in them. Stick with the fresh puddings, cakes and baked goods outside on the counters.

For me, personally, I prefer their EMPANADAS among their own baked goodies.

If there is a negative star, that is the rating I will give this place. Just like other reviewers, I experienced the rudeness of the woman on the counter. She dies not want to be asked. extremely rude so I took my business elsewhere. I'm surprised it is still in business.

I would give negative star if I could. The mean old lady at the cashier needs to be out to the store. She was so rude to me and my friend and we have 9 y/o kid with us. Rudely and meanly asked us to go out cause both of them isn’t wearing a mask, and her the cashier itself isn’t even wearing her mask properly.

I am glad this place is still around! They have a good selection of filipino groceries. They also have some cooked food for you to buy and take home. My trip was for the fresh balut and their hopia. One of the best hopia I have ever had.
