Had all the Filipino basics I was looking for while visiting my brother in VA Beach. Will definitely return next time I am down there so I can make more Filipino meals.

I've lived in the Hampton Roads area for 4.5 years now, and I can't believe I've only JUST discovered this store by accident on Sunday. It's located in the same strip mall shopping center as the popular Filipino bakery, Red Robin. I spoke to the Chinese owner, who said they've been around for more than 20 years, which is impressive for a small Mom & Pop business. Inside, they have lots of different varieties of vegetables, fruits, decent frozen section, Asian snacks, candy, and other ethnic foods. They have bags of some of my favorite vegetables including bean sprouts and bok choy, at pretty good prices too! They even have trays of duck balut..which is unheard of, even in other popular Asian supermarkets like Grand Mart. I even found cans of Calamansi, which is a Filipino lime drink which is so refreshing! The layout is both organized and slightly chaotic, for lack of better terms..lol The aisles are narrow, shelves are stock full of so much goods. It's definitely the kind of place you need to know what you wanna get before you go in. But, the nice thing I like about this grocery store, is inside, it seems pretty clean. And towards the back of the store, they have an old school, Chinese altar with burning incense and food offerings. And don't think the staff here have a language barrier, most of the staff here have a decent grasp of conversational level English. I'm glad I found Delicate Oriental Grocery before my time in CoVa is over..lol Now that I live back in Virginia Beach, this may be my new go-to spot for Asian produce!

Good little neighborhood Asian store. They have almost anything you would need to make several different ethnicity's dishes. Wish they more meat and seafood options but overall pleasant shopping experience.

Absolutely love this store! They had everything we normally would buy at home (Hawaii and Guam). Wish they were closer to Suffolk, but the drive was worth it. One of the cashiers (not sure if he was the owner) lived on Guam and knew about our local dishes like chicken Kelaguen. I wanted to make this for my daughter and this store had my hot peppers green onions and lemon that I needed. I also bought my Mapo tofu sauce I needed for our Mapo tofu ramen and I also found chicken longanisa sausages. Plus all the asian snacks we love eating. If I visit VA again, I will most definitely come back to shop in this store! Best store ever that reminds us of home!

Great store. Fresh vegetables, fish, and shrimp plus canned goods. Nice selection of canned curry pastes. Great price on Red Boat and 3 Crab fish sauces. Nice assortment of canned seafood (sardines, mackerel, squid, tuna, milkfish, eel, etc...).

Delicate Oriental Grocery is nice little mom and pop Asian grocery store with a good variety of fresh asian produce. If you want live blue crabs this is a good place to get them. They have a lot of frozen items as well including meats, fish and seafood items, fruits and vegetables, some noodles too. If you love durian like I do you can get whole frozen durian fresh off the boat from Thailand here. They also stock a large variety of dry rice noodles and rice sticks. Other dry goods include the usual Asian sweets, dried fruits, dried squid, octopus, fish, etc... You will also find all the usual Asian snack foods here, shrimp chips anyone?  Look for all your favorite Asian canned goods here as well. Cans and bottles of vegetables, fruits, meats, sauces, etc... are plentiful with a good variety of products.  Of course you can buy rice in bulk with various brands available in sizes up to 50 lbs. You can buy glutinous rice (sticky rice) here too. At the counter they have a small assortment of freshly prepared fish cakes, sesame balls and turon. The turon (banana lumpia) is amazing, so sweet and delicious. They prepare it fresh throughout the day. Like many small grocery stores, the aisles are narrow and can be a little cumbersome to navigate with a shopping cart during busy times. The shelves are well stocked and the store is very clean and well organized. It may be the cleanest Asian grocery in the area. The owners and staff are all very friendly and helpful. If you can't find something just ask, they know their inventory very well. The store is located in the busy KempsRiver Crossing in the Kempsville area of Virginia Beach. The common parking lot is well kept and always free of debris, the size is adequate for the business. If space is ever an issue, there are plenty of other nearby parking lots of various sizes throughout the shopping center. Getting in and out of the center in any direction is convenient with multiple access points controlled by traffic lights.

This is one of my favorite spots during the summer to get fresh yellow mangoes. They have a small but fresh produce section. They don't have fresh meats like other larger Asian stores, but the have a decent frozen section. However, I believe they do have a small selection of fresh seafood. Despite being smaller scale, their prices are still comparable to the other stores.

I was looking for a new set of ceramic bowls, unfortunately they now longer carry those. However, they carry the plastic kind if that's what you are looking for. The store was what I expected, not exceptionally clean, your basic courteous staff that have no interest in conversations-but well stocked nonetheless. The store has all of your needs if you are looking to cook delicious asian meals. They have a frozen section where we found the best frozen lumpia. They also have a fresh section with fresh vegetables, I finally found some ginger but it wasn't as fresh as I'd hope it would be. They have an abundance of different types of cooking oils, you can be sure they will have what local grocery stores don't carry.
