Lisa & Rose Oriental Mart

If there was an option for negative stars, I definitely would be giving it! We catered my engagement party dishes from here, this past Saturday, after being told it was the place to order from. My mom ordered the an extra large tray of caldereta and chicken afritada. We should’ve known something was wrong after mom ate the two dishes (before our guest arrived); she had watery bowel movements associated with nausea and perspiring. Initially thought it was just her stomach being upset.
The next day, my future mother in law, brother in law, and uncle notified us they were awoken in the early AM with the same symptoms as my mom. After calling and checking up on (60+) guests, 10 – 15 of them all had the same symptoms, living on the toilet majority of their Sunday. After asking them what they ate, every single person named these two dishes!
I am so mortified with embarrassment. My future brother in law’s symptoms lasted over 24 hours, where he had to call in sick to work the next day. Their next option if he didn’t get better would be to go to the hospital.
What a first impression, when this party was to celebrate our engagement and introduce our families and close friends to one another.
Mom called them today, and I think was TOO EASY on them. Sorry, doesn’t it cut it for me.. .just be aware prior to ordering better yet putting any of their foods into your mouths.

Catered BBQ pork (skewered) & the mini meat rolls (forgot name but small, crispy, meat filled, egg roll type) as appetizers for a party. Huge hit. Devoured. Delicious flavor. Made fresh to order.

They have one of the best tasting foods to go here. My favorite being the pork menudo and the Pinoy version of Spaghetti. Some fresh kakanin too as well like suman, puto etc. The lady that cooks really does it well and knows how to blend it all together.
Of all the Filipino stores i have gone to, they have the cleanest and organized merchandise.
Merchandises can be a little bit pricey. There are better places around the area to get other Pinoy stuff but for the hot food, this is one place to go.

Best caldereta in the area! they have their own take with their calderata, with olives that gives it a good kick! They have a good variety for hot food– like pancit, palabok and bistek tagalog. Also they have a wide variety of snacks, like suman, rice cakes (puto, kutchinta, pichi pichi, etc), empanada, siomai, ice cream and goldilocks goodies. It’s a small place but sums up mostly of Filipino favorites.
Best time to go is during the weekend, all the specialties are served. Only downside is they have a minimum for credit cards so be sure to bring cash.
