Nice selection of imported Filipino groceries and a small restaurant that usually has several dishes ready to serve, though they tend to run out of stuff in the evening. You'll see Nick there frequently running around taking care of the store, he does a great job on it.

I have never had this type of cuisine before, but did I really enjoy what I had! The fried tilapia was so good. I added this fish sauce they have, and the sauce was not overpowering like in other restaurants, nor was it as salty. It complemented the fish really well. They have usual sides like rice and egg rolls and combo plates, but I like to stick with what I know, so this fish will be my go-to meal. Next time, I will try the egg rolls and chicken adobo, but I will always be sure to have my friend tilapia.

If you like traditional Filipino and other Asian food items then this is the place to be. We especially love the coffee and BBQ pork skewers to top it off with their desserts. But the store also gives us a little taste of the Philippines.

Amazing food!!! I've been looking for a good place for Filipino food, and have had no luck until now. We decided to visit Nick's Sari-Sari, and I am in awe. It tastes just like my grandma's food, and the lumpia is just as i remember. 1000/10 you NEED to try this, you will not be sorry. This hole in the wall locally owned business is a must visit.
