Manila Express

Very clean and organized business. Offers Filipino grocery items as well as magnolia ice cream and a deli. I believe they have two tables if you want to eat your food there.

I went here as my go to place for dinuguan (Foo Lung at the downtown Filipino Center) has closed.

The dinuguan I would rate a 7-8. The gravy was not as thick as I like it. It was a bit too salty and they use a lot of stomach. I don't mind stomach but in my order, I only had two piece of pork meat and the rest was stomach. One other thing was there was an abundance of sauce and not as much meat/stomach.

I really wanted this place to be great. My rating was 4 stars based upon the overall appearance of the store and friendly workers. To be honest, I'm sure there are a lot of people that enjoy their dinuguan the way they prepare it. I wish this business a lot of success, I might try something else from their menu, just not dinuguan.

I come here for the breakfast. 11 or 12 come with steam rice or garlic fried rice. 2 spam , 2 longnisa, and tocino and egg.

GREAT Filipino food. They do run out, so if possible, call ahead if you want something specific. It's also a Filipino market with groceries, cakes, ice cream, desserts, etc. it's pretty chill and they have a few tables if you want to eat there.
I've tried their pancit, bbq pork, chicken adobo, chicken tinola, beef caldereta, and turon and everything. Is. So. Good.

I was looking for Filipino food with Pancit and Lumpia. I seen this place on Hammer Lane and turned around to see what they had. I ordered Pancit, Lumpia and BBQ Pork combo plate and a 10 piece Pork Lumpia. The Pancit had lots of vegetables and meat. (They have ice cream and boba too). I ordered a coffee chip shake with boba and it was very good! I'm glad I went back to check this place out and will be back to order more and try the Chicken Adobo next time. The people there were super friendly, service was fast and the store was very clean and organized. They have tons of Filipino food items, desserts, etc, no brooms or household appliance items though.

Stumbled across this Filipino eatery in Stockton while driving back from Sacramento and they had amazing food! I was looking for a spot that sold turon, or fried banana lumpia, to bring back for both me and my bf's families and this was the first spot that popped up on my yelp search. Called ahead to see if they could accommodate a party tray of 40 pieces and they said it would be ready in 10 minutes! Once we got there, our order was ready and we decided to also order a combo plate of pancit, pork bbq stick, and lumpia shanghai. Everything was made to order and so good! Some of the best Filipino takeout I've had in a while. The turon is super crispy and the long thinner kind, but without the excess fry oil or caramelized coating. We ordered turon without jackfruit but they do have that option as well.

Manila Express is also a grocery store carrying tons of Filipino snacks, canned goods, bread, etc. Don't be fooled by the "drive-thru" area and window on the side of the store, it's not a drive thru!

I am an older adult professional. I am Caucasian and my wife is Filipina. She was not with me on this occasion. The male owner stared at me like I'm going to steal something....I realize it is Stockton but use a little discernment in how you treat your customers.
We will spend our money where we are treated better.....will not return.

This review is mainly for their turon. I first tried them in one of our friends' party and we were hooked eversince. I always get their large trays that consists of 50pcs turon and for the price, I could get 2 if I want to as they always get demolished at every party we bring it to. They are crunchy, not too sweet and the banana was perfectly ripe. I like my turon without the jackfruit (langka) and this one hits the spot. I always order ahead of time, but you can always drop by and order it the same day as they always have big batches of them readily available.

I would like to try some of their filipino dishes when I get back next time. But as for now, turon is why I drive up here just to get my and family's fix.

So I decided to come back a little earlier this time and when I approached the door there was a sign with the hours and the definitely close at 8pm...my bad! This is an "UNCLAIMED" page so I can't blame the owners for this mistake :). This place is small with a tight fit. There are some tables/chairs if you decide to eat your food inside but it gets super hot in there and like I said, it's a tight fit. We started eating inside but decided to take it home where we can be more comfortable. If there are only two of you this might be ok.

This is like a little store with some basic things like Boy Bawang, Mama's Tocino/adobo packets, other spices/sauces, a freezer with ice cream/cakes/ube rolls and of course some food!!

I ordered the pork adobo w/garlic rice and the boys chicken adobo and longanisa/lumpia combo plates. The food was delicious and served HOT! Everything was as expected...like a home cooked meal! We also got halo halo and the only downside to this is that the hole on top of the cups was smaller than the spoon they provided which made mixing/eating it a mess. I recommend asking for a straw...much easier!

Was able to complete a phone in order with ease and everyone loved the food we received. Store looks a way outside but it's a pleasant surprise when you enter the store and enjoy the goodies within

We just bought some OLD ASS FOOD from here!!!! TASTE OLD, SMELLS OLD and BURNT!!!
The garlic rice was left over rice from who knows a few days ago sitting in the rice cooker. Rice was hard as a rock, crumpy, and has an old over due moist water smell. You know what i mean if you are Asian and you eat rice!
Let's go on to the Sisig, one word OLD!!! Frozen reheat, NOT FRESH you can smell and taste that old vinegar yuck!
The BBQ stick was a joke it was OLD left over, refried, and BURNT black!! This is very disappointing as we come here from time to time. This is not authentic filipino food. The quality of food is horrible and should not be served, period!
If you wouldn't eat it, it's common sense why you would serve it! Please STOP re-frying your old leftover food!!!
Please do better!!
