Wow this new location is 100% better than the previous one. The store is so much more spacious, bright lighting, more cashiers, aisles are labeled, most of the items actually have prices on them and the dining area have more tables and chairs too!
Manila Hongkong is an Asian market, mainly Filipino items, but they do have a wide selection of other Asian snacks, drinks, noodles and seasonings.
I give it a 4 star because the kitchen side: Menu is still very limited. You get three- four kinds of entree and it seems like it's the same items over an over again (sinigang, tapa, fried fish, tocino) throughout the week. I think they would do so much better if they have more options in their menu because they can REALLY cook! It doesn't get as authentic as this! Really reminds me of home.
I'm so happy they relocated because it made a big difference in my shopping experience.

This store moved into a new location inside Paradise Plaza. After walking through the store, there is more Filipino grocery than Hong Kong grocery. Many of the items can be used interchangeably but it still offers more Filipino products. There is a restaurant in the store was wasn't open. I also noticed that many items did not have a price so either you have to ask or don't care how much and just make the purchase. Hopefully they will get around to pricing everything soon. The produce selection was average and could be the case since it's the holiday. The store has a bakery section but was empty. The owner says they haven't started offering baked items but when they do, it will be brought in from California. Prices are fair compared to other Asian markets in the area. The entrance into the store is inviting, organized and clean. The owner is very polite and helpful.

The new location (on Oddie, same shopping center as Pizza Plus & Jack in the Box) is so nice! Much more spacious and organized than the other one. They have all the delicious Asian drinks and snacks. Also a really great butcher counter. The baked goods are brought in from San Francisco I believe. The ones I tried were really high quality.
The other side of the store is a restaurant where they have Filipino food. I haven't tried it yet, but can't wait to!

Glad to see they moved to a new location! The new space seems more spacious and a LOT organized!!! Also, most of the items are now priced, whereas before it was a guessing game until you get to the check-out counter and get a surprise of how pricey some items were LOL! Store is clean but only time will tell if they'll be able to maintain. One downside at this new space is even though it seems bigger, the selection seems to rotate. I found myself going back weekly to find a selection that otherwise wasn't available the week before. Also, I haven't seen sweet corn (chips) in a looooong time so hopefully it makes it back to the shelf soon! One less star because they stopped carrying some items that they used to have at the older location. Overall, a more pleasurable shopping experience compared to old location! They still need to work on pricing ALL of the items though, the freezer section seems to lack prices among other things.

If you want to get your Filipino cravings, this is the place to be (for me though). Haha! They have a new location at Oddie Blvd behind Pizza Plus near Jack in the box and Walgreens. It's a bigger place with bigger space to do your Asian grocery. They're still doing some finishing touches to putting prices on each items and isles to making it more accessible to customers. They also have a separate kitchenette where you can buy cooked Filipino dishes. Yum yum!!!! Adding pictures of what's inside the new location.

Our first time finding this store.
I'm happy I was able to pick up the Mamasitas seasoning packets for calderata.
I've been told the hot food is good and worth the wait.
Unfortunately, we had a big Arby's lunch.
Next time we will try the hot foods.
Store is small but has plenty of groceries.

I'm so glad that I found Manila Hong Kong because I was on a desperate search for Pan de Ube here in Reno! As you might have noticed, Asian markets in this area are few and far between, unfortunately. However, I was so happy to have stumbled across this wonderful shop! The Pan de Ube and other baked goods are actually shipped over from Valerio's Tropical Bakeshop in SSF (my local store, so awesome!). The bread still tasted very fresh and, although it was a little pricier than the Bay Area, it was sooo worth the journey up to Sparks. They also have so many other goodies, snacks, sauces, and fresh produce. The staff were super friendly and I will definitely be back for more! :D

This is a family owned and operated business in the Reno Sparks area that's been offering Asian groceries and Filipino food for over 40 years. The first and only original Filipino store (Asian Exotica) that started back in the mid 80s located in a strip mall next to Reno High School. "Tita Alice" as who we've grown to know and love, always had a smile on her face. She made sure she accommodated all our grocery shopping needs whenever we'd go visit the store. Her children would often help assisting the guests and customers. I've gotten to know most of them and they are very helpful and simply amazing. The selections here are great. The prices are fair and the service is outstanding. Let's continue to support local owned businesses.
