Been waiting several years for this place to open here in Chandler. Well the Day is finally here! Opening this weekend!!!

Tons of great Filipino food! I've been to the one in Vegas but the Chandler one is supposed to be bigger and better! Can't wait!!!

Popular Filipino grocery store, food hall makes Arizona debut next week

The new location will be the largest in the entire chain. Take a peek inside as the store gets ready to open.

We have been looking forward to this one, too. Love all of the restaurants inside the store. Just wish its grand opening wasn't on a Thursday morning.

I wonder...can you get authentic lumpia at this place??
My old business partner Leo was Filipino...and he used to cook lumpia for us once in a while...I tend to like more vinegar dipping than most people..but the way the seasoning soaks through the vinegar...holy cow...that stuff is addictive!!...one of my all time favorite foods... used to down them by the dozen

100%. But my wife makes Lumpia from scratch that is so good I don't get all that excited about store bought stuff.

They also have so many authentic Filipino dishes available. Not to mention a full Filipino bakery and Filipino desserts.

We have one near us but it's in a bad neighborhood so Lucy won't go there anymore. Her sister was there once and got stuck for hours because someone tried to rob the place and they sealed it off as a crime scene for hours.

YEs they have great food inside, and ours has a travel agent to book tickes to Philippines.

And yah to Madcard homemade lumpia is the best. Lucy is trying to make bibingka now she's having issues getting the right ingredients we were actually talking about Seafood City would have it but again she hates the neighborhood.

There's one in San Mateo I think that's famous because they do song and dance there on Friday nights. Turns into a party or something I think it's san Mateo might be Daly City

Showed it on the news this morning. Big line waiting to get in!

We are going over this afternoon to check it out and grab some food for dinner.

I stopped by on my way to Costco to see how busy it was on a Thursday afternoon at 1pm. There wasn't a single parking spot available on that side of the mall. Crazy packed! Not sure how crazy the inside of the store was.

We were there just after about 4:15-4:30. Parking was crazy. It was ridiculously packed inside. You could move around a bit but you couldn't get near most food places - huge line to order and just as long a line for pick-up. Shopping areas were less busy until you looked for the lines to the registers, and it would make you reconsider waiting that long to purchase something.

Signed up for the app to get a free t-shirt for my wife, looked around for a bit, and decided we will return after the crowds go down some.

My son has a summer job in the Chandler Mall and stopped by to see if he could grab lunch on Sunday. He quickly turned around as the lines were still ridiculously long.

Yeah, it's going to be a while.

My wife and I popped in last night on the way home from work. Not sure if the rain kept some people away but it wasn’t too bad at 6pm.

The grill city Line was the only one that was long. Took about 50 minutes for us to get to the front. All other places had little to no lines. Of course my wife picked the long line.

Food was good. The pork bbq skewers were fantastic. The grilled jumbo squid was too chewy and hard to eat. I’ve had better so I would skip that.

It wasn’t too bad in the seating area. Was able to easily find a place to sit.

Lots of great and fun stuff to grab from the store. No wait checking out.
