Chaaste Family Market

Came by at lunch time and ordered food to go. Bought some pancit and bbq chicken sticks. It was delicious and great value for my money. Thank you Unilocal for helping me find Filipino food in Pasadena! Now I don’t have to drive too far from home to get my Filipino food fix. I also bought some banana chips and garlic peanuts for snacking.

Very nice homey feeling. True to its «Family Market» name. Theyre very friendly and they have AMAZING customer service.
They have a very good variety of pilipino foods and groceries.
They have fresh fried tilapias and turon (fried banana egg rolls).
They have:
Sauteed Ground Beef
Beef Steak
Laing
Fried Bangus
Okoy
Crispy Pata
Lechon Kawali
Sinigang
Nilagang
Bopis
Pansit Bihon
And alot of other stuff.
I suggest if youre ordering big, call ahead to avoid waiting because its all freshly made.
They accept cash and debit/​credit.
They have three tables and a couples chairs to sit in.

Tiny store, but they sell good frozen marinated daing na bangus. Dangerous place to be in when you’ve got the munchies for Pinoy chichirya: D tried the pancit here but too bland for me. Guys at checkout are always nice and friendly.

I’m glad there’s a solid Filipino place so close by! Sometimes you just need your fix.

Best turon on the planet. Ok maybe in the USA.
Never fails to please. Call in your order in advance to ensure you get some. Always the hit at any party.

Yay! I can’t believe this Filipino Market is so close to me, I don’t have to drive west from where I’m from.
I ordered some chicken BBQ for a potluck party. I called at 11 am, and got it at 6:30 pm. Everyone at the party loved the chicken BBQ! So did I — it tastes just like home. When I went to pick up, I saw their cafeteria style food, and knew that I was going to be coming back. I stopped to chat to some of the ladies too and found out they’ve been there for quite some time. I’ll definitely be back to try some of their food!
I couldn’t resist picking up some snacks from their grocery section — anything that reminds you back home — they have it. Even efficascent oil… I got to try also some of the banana chips. They were good, but I’m not a banana chips type of person. I picked up some tamarind, egg cracklets, and a bunch of other native cracker style snacks that I haven’t seen in a really, really long time!
I’ll be back!

I love their TURON! I pretty much come here at least once a week to get their turon. I’ve tried to make turon myself, but it’s just not the same. I’m so happy that this place exist in Pasadena! They remind me of a typical local market in the Philippines, where the staff are super nice and the food is just like home cooked meals. I have tried most of their dishes before and they are delicious! Unfortunately, I can’t enjoy all of their food since I became a pescatarian. However, they have a good selection of pescatarian dishes! I suggest you phone order ahead if you want to order party size! Don’t forget to try their turon!

My father use to bring me often as a child.
Yesterday, I brought my boyfriend here to check out the place.
It is like a little Filipino market with a lot of snacks, drinks, and ready to eat food.
It was satisfying buying some comfort food.
We stocked up on a lot of drinks and snacks for a very good price. We literally wanted to buy everything.
The food they serve is definitely worth trying from bbq skewers, lumpia, and much more. DEFINITELY try their turon! It is made to perfection. Such flakey, yummy goodness. It is a small market in a plaza which might be hard to catch without using directions. There is sufficient parking in the lot.
I would highly recommend checking this place out and get your filipino fix.

I love everyone here! Small filipino supermarket offering take out fast food. super helpful and amazing turon. Food options are diverse and there are so many choices it’s hard to choose. Employees are so sweet the lady offered to teach me how to make one of their vegetable dishes. When you go here, you’re treated like family. and that’s why I love them.

As authentic as it gets. The chef is a sweet lady, someone’s mother and grandma I presume. The food is delicious and then portions are very generous. Very sweet lady and great service ran by a nice family. I like the tilapia soup, Chicken adobo, pancit and green beans.

Just tried a Turon for the first time and it was good although it was cold! I think it would taste better fresh

Amazing in every way. I rarely write reviews, but was so impressed. Ordered 100 lumpia and 20 Chicken Skewers around 11 a.m. for a 3:30 pick up. Great customer service over the phone with good recommendations of what to get. Food was ready, got a free fried banana dessert, and even got told that I was beautiful by the ladies serving me the food — ha! Love that it’s family owned and operated, too.
Everyone loved the lumpia and chicken skewers.

Banging authentic Filipino food. Mmmmm… enjoy some chick skewers, pancit and some bomb lumpia.
Place your order so you can save some time when you pick it up. Get some!

I’ve been in Pasadena for about 5 years now, and once I remember my filipino homegirl told me that there was a Filipino market on Allen (never followed up). Have even Unilocaled it before and I never knew about Chaaste Family Market, until now…
I am beyond happy that there is a Filipino market in Pasadena, and they served prepared dishes (turo-​turo style). Yay!
Anyways, I came in the other day and was immediately smacked in the face with the delicious smell of adobo (soy-​sauce and garlic)! So I followed my nose to their turo-​turo area. I was surprised by all the food choices they had available. They had lechon kawali, lumpiang shanhai, siniganag, and even mongo. They had plenty!
The owner Gabriel and Tito Chris were very friendly and inviting. If you check in on Unilocal,while you are there, you will receive a discount on your purchase.
Anytime I need a quick fix of home-​cooked filipino food, I know where to go!

First time coming here. They were just opening but happy to cook my walk in order. Food is really good, the smell is incredible. Best palabok I ever had. I couldn’t stop eating the Shanghai egg rolls. Too bad they didn’t have any turon. Next time.

I love their malabon and turon! The turon is so crispy and deliciously glazed. Gabriel is really cool. Id stop by for the eggrolls too! They have 50 eggrolls deal for under 13 $!

Love this place… We come here for lunch… Service is excellent, Food are so yummy!

It still blows my mind that I didn’t find out about this place after living a block away for a year!
This place is awesome, and as legit as it can get. Why drive all the way to Cerritos or Eagle Rock when you can get fresh home-​cooked food and Filipino products in Pasadena?
This place is especially exciting for people who spent some time or grew up in the Philippines, because the food that they serve and the stuff that they sell will kick you right back to the memories you have of being in the country. They even have dinuguan! I still can’t believe I can buy dinuguan a block away from where I live! It’s mind blowing!
The people here are extremely friendly too, and the prices are great. I definitely recommend this place and will come back again!

Alright, this is the upfront disclosure. Yes this review will be completely bias. I’m a Filipino reviewing a Filipino establishment, coming from a Filipino’s perspective. So with that being said, I am deriving from my cultural past, experience, and memories. I will get excited about minute items that the average person would be indifferent about. I will try to bring an impartial but no promises.
So essentially this place a grocery store slash eatery nestled in the Pasadena area. The grocery portion of the store hold many nostalgic items for a Filipino like me. It brings me back to my youth of yesteryear. Items such as ChocNut, Chippy, Boy Bawang, Nagaraya, Clovers, etc. If you don’t know what any of those items are, just give it a shot, it is a mouthful of deliciousness. I can’t help but leave this place with at least multiple bags of different assortments of snacks. The prices for the items being sold are decent. There is no overly pricing even though majority of these products are obviously imported.
The restaurant portion of the store offers up traditional home cooked style Filipino dishes. The menu varies from day to day. They may have tilapia, kare kare, bistek, tapa, etc. They do not have an eating section therefore all plate are essentially «to go». The entres are served in a cafeteria style fashion but I do have to say that they hit the spot and will definitely satisfy that mad craving.
Owners are very friendly and love to strike up a conversation. They are also more than happy to help you locate any items you maybe wanting and answer and question that you may have.
Alright, Tagalog lesson for today for all of you non-​Tagalog speaking Unilocalers. After you purchase items say, «Salamat Po». This will bring a smile to any Filipino’s face. Don’t fret it is not a curse word, essentially it is a very polite way of saying «Thank You».
So there you have it. You have just read a great review about an establishment AND learned a new language.
