Asian Mart — Local services in Burnsville

Great to have a Filipino store in Minnesota. It is a little far from where we live, it is about 40 minutes. They sell lots of familiar products from the store and I liked the idea of them having a truck to bring stuff from here to Chicago and back. Bringing some goodies like Jollibee and some delicacies.

Why the 3 stars? The store needs tidying up. Lots of huge Balikbayan Boxes near the entrance. Small aisles, where it is virtually impossible to use shopping carts when there's another person shopping on the same aisle.

They have a dine in area. Great. But it is small and it is not really conducive to dining in. And again, boxes are everywhere sorrounding you. The price of their food for a Tinolang Manok soup was around $8, just one drumstick. I think it is a little expensive.

Now that there is another Filipino store in Mounds View, which is a lot closer. But for the people around here, I hope this store will try to compete...

A true gem in Burnsville! Asian Mart is my go-to Filipino store in Minnesota, and every visit feels like coming home. The selection is solid—everything from fresh pandesal, Davao suman, and sinigang mix to hard-to-find snacks and pantry staples that bring back childhood memories.

But what truly sets this place apart is Kuya Watson, the owner. He’s warm, welcoming, supportive, and just one of the most down-to-earth people you’ll meet. You don’t just leave with groceries—you leave with a smile and a little bit of that Filipino hospitality that makes your day brighter.

Whether you’re Filipino or just love Filipino/Asian food, this spot is definitely worth a visit. Salamat, Kuya Watson, for creating a space that feels like...

Stopped by after work today and I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had a deli/small restaurant with a few sweet and savory options.

Lots of filipino frozen food offerings (ie longganisa, pinapaitan, chicken inasal, etc.), snacks, condiments and filipino canned goods. They even had some goods from what looks like Valerio's in Chicago which is convenient! Staff was friendly.

The deli was nice. Had a few options on their menu. I got some bbq skewers, lechon kawali and mango sago. They also had a whole fried pompano that I regret not getting. At any rate it was all tasty. Definitely at the top of my list of filipino markets here...
