Filipino Global Supermarket

Not bad if your craving your mom’s or lola’s cooking. Prices with prepared food are kinda pricey, 4.99 for halo halo and 12.99lb for lechon! There’s a few tables set up in the back where you can dine in. The food is good.

Customer service is great! Everyone seems very friendly and kind. Food in the café is pretty good. I was not too happy with dinuguan and kare kare. It was pretty bland. I was very happy to buy a couple of their balut. I was very excited to take them home, cook them, and eat them. I was very disappointed. I won’t call that balut. Maybe just a regular boiled eggs, the only difference is, it’s duck egg.
I’d like to update this review with a 4 stars. I may give it a second chance/​visit and try their dinuguan, kare-​kare, and balut. This store is clean and have pretty good stock of Filipino snacks, frozen foods, etc…
I will come back to visit them again, due to their great customer service.

Great service and wide selection of food and groceries at a great price. Love it! Plus, their Beef Mechado, Pastillas de Leche and halo halo are ah-​mazing! Can’t wait to come back and try the rest of their menu!

Bought 2 large quart size takeout containers of Beef Mechado ($ 9/​each) and 1 large quart size of white steamed rice ($ 3)!!! Perfect for a work potluck and all my (picky-​eater) colleagues thought it was delicious!!! I am a meat-​lover and was glad to see they did not skimp on the meat when filling the container. This will be my go-​to place for group potlucks and nights when I do not feel like cooking!!! Can’t wait to go back for their great selection of Goldilocks products!!!
It was a little hard to find but Filipino Global Supermarket is behind «The Chicken Place» (a stand alone Peruvian style chicken restaurant) and Chili’s Restaurant. Parking is tight.

After paying for my food I asked for extra rice but didn’t realized that debit card only accept $ 5 or more and I didn’t have any cash on me then the lady said just buy some from the Grocery store and I said I don’t have to buy anything after I just had lunch. So can I just bring it back the 79 cents??? She was no and was looking at me like I’m a criminal or something. I mean come on for 79 cents? After I have been a customer here for so many years this how they treat customers. Never coming back there ever and would not recommend this place… Smh

Filipino global has a great selection of foodstuffs from champorado mixes, to halo halo, as well as baked goods and desserts like cuchinta. In the back, there is a calenderia (cafeteria) type setting, which I recommend on the weekend where is fresher and such.
I had to knock it down one star since the last time I went here, the cashier scanned one item twice and non nonchalantly thought I didn’t notice. I informed the cashier and she promptly remove the additional charge.

The update space is often too limited when so many local Filipinos eat-​in the back restaurant. I love the Pork Sisig w/​sunny side up egg and steam rice (at $ 7.80), and always take-​out the very sweet Turin and leech on. The rice and dishes have gone UP in price, but food quality is clean and warm. I really like how friendly and fast their customer services are and front grocery store bakery selections have various choices all the time! This is my go-​to-​Filipino store in NoVA.

friendly staff, my first visit trying Filipino cuisine. The ladies behind the counter in the back were so helpful. I was given a sample of the delicious Pancit and Lechon. The haul I took back to the office was nicely packed up for me including the halo-​halo. Tons of different things to try and several different types of lumpia as well. Parking there is not so great.

The hot food is awesome, the pre-​packed is also good. But I was kinda disappointed with the puto bumbong, I will never buy it again.

I’m not sure if this is the only Filipino store in the area or not but they’re hard to come by. You can usually find a huge Asian market with Filipino necessities.
This store has the main stuff you’d need to cook Filipino food (i.e. spices, mixes, bread, etc…)
There’s a restaurant in the back. If you’re Filipino, the food is ok at best, however, if you don’t normally eat Filipino food I’d say it’s a little bit better than ok (hopefully that makes sense).

First and last time here. Came here Sunday a little before noon to get something to eat. I ordered some longaniza and my wife ordered the pork sinigang. One of my longaniza sausages was raw! A piece of pork from the sinigang was raw! Completely pink and cold inside! How does that happen?! The store is clean and they have decent groceries, but do not go there for the food!

Got some Beef Kaldereta with rice it was Did not leave no room for some Halo Halo :(. Definitely a place that I will go back to.

I was really excited to try Halo Halo dessert for the first time. They were pretty skimpy with the ube ice cream (scoop was slightly larger than a golf ball)… sadness. Not coming back. Instead… I’ll buy a tub of ube ice cream at the Asian grocery store.

I’m disappointed coz their food is not consistent. The food is just umm. O K. I was hoping it’s more of a place that when u miss food from home (Philippines) you get excited about ordering from this place but no. Although the grocery part is awesome. I think they have to find a chef that can really cook filipino food. The place is clean as well.

Small by California standards, but adequate for Virginia. Parking is tight, but a good selection of Filipino desserts and other basic essentials. Did not check out the turo turo selection since we were going to the nearby Chicken Place!

I could never go wrong with Filipino stores… well maybe just this one place-​kinda but I’ll review that store later.
This little store is off of skyline plaza. The parking is limited in front of the store however there are more parking spaces at the back. It’s seriously not a long walk.
They have a variety of options but I recommend getting your produce at a large asian market like H Mart. This store carries most of the «product of Philippines» canned goods and snacks. The lumpia wrapper is much cheaper to get here in my opinion.
I haven’t tried out the carryout food. I sure will when I visit again!
As for the welcoming, the employees are nice but they didn’t greet as you walk into the store. But if you have questions or concerns, they are truly helpful. You might end up talking way too much. Haha until next time!

Filipino Global Supermarket is a hidden gem! At least to me. Being originally from LA where there are filipino stores and filipino restaurants everywhere, coming to this supermarket was nostalgic for me. Brought back memories of going to the filipino stores with my parents as a kid. It’s a small shop with a decent selection of goods. I like the little restaurant in the back. Super friendly workers who call you «ate», «kuya», or «po» which are what you would call certain people out of respect. This store may not exactly be like the ones back home but it’s nice to have it around in our home away from home of Arlington. :)

I don’t like the parking situation.
When you walk in, it just looks like a grocery store, but the hot food in the back is a lovely discovery. The aisles are full of goodies from my childhood. I ordered diniguan and menudo from the back. The staff were really friendly despite the customer in front of me seeming difficult. Prices were reasonable.
Maybe the way my family cooks it is different, but I thought the menudo was sweeter than I’m used to. It was still tasty.
Also, I’d tried to come here a week before, but I couldn’t find their store hours online and ended up being too late (they close at 8 pm on the weekdays).

I will not say how much I spent when I first found this place. Keeping my mouth shut. Closed. Nope won’t do it…
Over $ 70… :X
AND this was after my regular weekly grocery shopping. After 8 months of living in VA, I think I was just more excited to find a little of my culture in the area. Okay… More specifically, I was just excited to find me some bagoong for some of my home made dishes. Aaaaaand was able to pick up some frozen longanisa and tocino. Happy Mari!
Just to add some cherries to my sundae, they have a small turo turo joint towards the back. I’m not a fan of buying dishes I normally cook at home but for some I don’t cook, I was excited! Beef caldereta, pancit, dinuguan, and lechon kiwali… All pretty good! I have yet to try their Bangui sisig. Give them ten minutes to cook this!
Thank YOU Filipino Global!

Hmmm… I’m not sure. I’d probably say more like 2.5 stars.
You have to go around your ass to find this place. First, turn right when you see the Chili’s. The shopping center sits almost perpendicular to Leesburg Pike. Then turn into the Chili’s. You would think that with a strip center sitting almost an entire block there’d be more than one driveway entrance.
I wanted Filipino food and thanks to Unilocal I found this place not too far from where I was. Photos uploaded helped me that this was more than a supermarket… Then again, a Filipino can only assume that every Filipino market comes with a cafeteria style restaurant.
Unlike many Filipino supermarkets this joint is spacious. Aisles are spacious. The store is bright. I felt like I was walking around the Filipino section of Target!
My main focus was to grab some dinner and off to the back I made b-​line for the fresh food. I picked up fried fish, lechón, longanisa and a big container of rice. The little fish in the picture was only $ 1. It’s been years since I’ve had such a thing and forgot how salty it was. The longanisas were $ 1 each. That seemed expensive to me but they were damn good. Lechón was $ 9.95 a pound. What you see in the picture is about half my order ($ 1.75ish worth in weight). I paid $ 3 for a big container of rice (and ate half of it). The food was decent. Nothing to really brag about it. The lechón, unfortunately, was very greasy. I have a feeling I’ll be hurting in a bit. That’s why I’m saying more like 2.5 stars.
