Linda, Pittsburgh PA. Thank you for your wonderful online store. I am so impressed with all the recipes, cooking demos, tips and descriptions provided. I received my order promptly, packaged so well that you could drop it 2 stories and nothing would be damaged. I love the mortar and pestle! Can't wait to try your other products. Thanks for great shipping prices (fast delivery too) and very careful packaging. You're now my Thai grocery and I'll be ordering from you regularly. :) |

Karen, Diablo WA. I ordered online on Monday and had my package in the Post Office Wednesday- talk about great service! And the iced Thai tea mix is fabulous- we have almost used it up in less than two weeks. Your products are great, the service is great, and I love the recipes and videos. You've got it all. |

Lisa, Saunderstown RI. Just wanted you to know that the package arrived a little while ago and everything looks great! I am wondering what is the best way to keep the basil fresh? I am cooking today, but will most likely have some to spare... Many thanks, I am excited to be cooking with such beautiful produce! |

Carol, Beverly Hills, FL. I just wanted to let you know how impressed I am with your website. I ordered the Thai granite Mortar & Pestle from you (love it!!) and now find myself returning to your site again and again for recipes, tips and videos. You have become my Asian cooking guru, giving me the courage to try my hand atrecipes I never would have dreamed of making myself. What a clever marketing strategy - getting the customers excited about your products and providing such great customer service that we would not consider ordering from anyone else! Keep it up! |

Janis, Aguanga CA. Hi, and thank you for your outstanding service. I ordered several items from your outstanding website and received them beautifully packaged,quickly, and--you even included a complimentary product that I had inquired about! I've dealt with many, many online companies over the last years but have never received the consideration and care that you provided. I will shop nowhere else for Thai/Asian food products. |

Isabella, Seattle WA. hi ~ i received your packages today. all in all, i am absolutely thrilled with everything. thank you very, very much for such a timely mailing and for selling such wonderful products. your careful packaging was absolutely stellar... i only wish all companies shared this expertise. :-))) i would also like to say that i think your website is one of the best food shopping sites on the internet; it is clear that you care about the customer learning and enjoying as much as you care about selling items. the videos are extraordinary. i am a fan! |

Lydia, Lyons IN. I went to a Thai restaurant for the first time in July(2009). I noticed that a girl at a table near us had a drink that was orange colored so I asked the waitress about it. She told me that is was a Thai Iced Tea and what was in it. I ordered one and absolutely fell in love with it. I have been looking online for the mix and finally found here at Importfood.com. I received my order a couple days ago and had some last night. Thank you so much for providing this product to the public. Now I can have one of the best drinks at home!

Sam, Baghdad Iraq (APO). Truly amazing! The packaging job is remarkable, not a single drop spilled of precious fish sauce, sii ew wan, curry paste or anything. Timely deliverable, excellent quality products and reasonable prices. Thanks! |
|
|
|
Chuck, Valparaiso IN. What a fantastic web site. You have a great selection of products and the video series is outstanding. I have placed numerous orders with you and everything arrives as expected. My wok came in pretty well dinged up but was cheerfully and quickly replaced. I especially love the tamarind cutting board. Please keep up the great job. |

Jerry, Topeka KS. Received my first order today, and I could not be more pleased with the packing of my products. Finally a place where I can buy all I need to make all my favorite Thai dishes. It’s been over 5 years since living in Thailand, and NOW I can bring the wonderful aroma of Thai food into my own home. I’ll be back! THANK YOU, Thank You, thank you! |
|
|
|
Michelle, Leonardo NJ. I received the street-vendor wok that I ordered and I absolutely love it! I was a little scared of it at first---I thought it would be smaller but it fits on my stove perfectly and I am addicted to it. The spatula you recommended is also great. I am also addicted to your chili paste with holy basil. I appreciate that you list all of the ingredients, I am a strict vegetarian so it helps to know what is in the sauces and pastes. Many thanks and looking forward to my next order! |
|
|
|
Isabel, Hendersonville NC. My box of Por Kwan Tea Mix arrived today and I immediately set a pot on the stove following your excellent instruction. The fragrance was intoxicating...exactly what I remember from good Thai restaurants. I've been searching for just such a product for literally years! |
|
|

Holly, Fall River MA. I was searching for Kaffir leaves and found your web site. I have to take the time to let you know it is the best web site I have found for Thai foods. I can't commend you enough on such a great job thinking of everything you need to cook Thai!!! The videos, the recipes, the selection!! I absolutely love importfood.com. In 2 weeks we will be settled into our new place and I will definitely be placing my order to stock my Thai pantry with all the greatest products from you. I want to thank you for all the information you provide for us to cook and create authentic Thai dinners. I am planning a Thai themed dinner night for my family...I am excited to know I don't have to run all over the place trying to find everything I need, I will order it all from you...Thank you!! |

Sharon, Brooksville FL. Thank you for the videos and recipes ... you have a wonderful site! thank you for helping americans to learn about thai food .... it is my favorite cuisine.. so fresh ... such wonderful flavors. |
|
|
|
Kathleen, Aiken SC. Good grief, I just didn't know how many videos you had--I just looked at them all and gave myself--gratis--a Thai cooking lesson! And now I want to go to Bangkok again--having just gotten back from a street food bash--because I didn't get to eat enough different things. What a wonderful series this is. Thank you so much. It just transports me back and makes me want to cook! |

Ruth, Ravensdale WA. I love the mortar and pestle! |

Mary, Venice CA. I love Thai food and I have long been a slave to the local Thai restaurants. Last week, I discovered your website while looking for an Asian grocery store on the west side of LA, thinking about attempting to make my favorite Thai soup. I looked at your recipes and watched the street vendor videos. I looked at your products and read the explanations about the uses of various Thai produce, spices and condiments, which would otherwise have been a mystery to me. I placed an order for produce and other ingredients last Wednesday, and received my fresh produce two days later on Friday! I got my spices and condiments on Monday, and today, Tuesday, I made a Tom Yum Goong soup to rival the soup at my favorite Thai restaurant. To say that I am impressed by your service is an understatement! You have made me very happy! I will spread the good word to all my food-loving friends. Thank you. |

|
Tina, Minneapolis MN. I just received my order today in the mail and made a very large wok full of the Chicken Panang Curry for some friends. It was beyond amazing and very simple to make. Every one raved as we all thought it tasted better than we get here at the local Thai resturants. Perfect with a Lychee Martini! Can't wait to try the next dish. Thank you!! |
|
|
|
Ravi, Jackson MS. just got my starter kit last week. came on time and everything that I ordered was there. I love this website and I will probably go broke getting stuff. I already realized that I'm missing some other key ingredients so you can expect another order coming down the pipes very soon. Thanks again for providing us with all this wonderful stuff. |
|

|
David, Sedona AZ. We are long time customers that lived in Grass Valley, CA. We have now moved to Arizona. I am giving my first Thai cooking class here in AZ. Thanks for your great products and service. |
|
|
|
Chanel, Chicago IL. I placed my first order from this store. The postal service made a mistake (not the store's fault), but the store went above and beyond and out of their way to make sure everything was delivered, and even followed up. My Thai tea is perfect and delicious. The bag was larger than I expected and will last me awhile. Thanks for the excellent service, products and prices. You will have a return customer! |
|
|
|
Cal, Center Point TX. The wonderful kaffir lime leaves came yesterday, and I am so pleased. There were a few that I did not keep, but so many were included in the package that there's no way anyone could complain. I had to freeze them considering our schedule this week, but will use them soon. Am very happy, and very pleased with Import Foods. Thank you very much! I will be telling every one how good you guys are. How responsive. |
|

Michelle, Portland OR. Hello! I received the 7" mortar and pestle and it is beautiful! Thank you so much for the awesome quality and speedy shipping! You guys offer the best mortar and pestles around! Thank you so much! Best wishes. |

|
|
Mark, Detroit MI. I LOVE your website and your products are simply FANTASTIC! I was an AFS student to Chombung in 1973 and have been working on "perfecting" my favorite Thai recipes ever since. Finally I found a place to order everything I need. THANK YOU. |
|
|
|
Cheryl, Denver CO. Great site and products. The videos are awesome. I ordered the fresh produce package because the asian market here in Denver is too far away. Great quality to my doorstep! Now using your site for gifts! |
|
|
|
Donna, San Francisco CA. I took a cooking lesson at Judith-st Hokins cooking school in San Francisco and a teacher that was Asian who taught a Thai cooking class. She made a black rice dessert that we loved. I have not been able to find my recipe for many years (25 years). Your recipe seems very close to what I am looking for. Thanks. |
|
|
|
Dean, Austin TX. I bought an 8" mortar and pestle. I expected to use it a couple of times and then it would be a decoration, but Oh No! I use it all the time! Now I smash fresh herbs and spices before adding them to a recipe for extra yum. It's nearly as fast as using the food processor, and it's easier to clean. I'm getting one for my friend for xmas. |
|
|
|
Dave, Casselberry FL. This is my first order. You have an great web site. I look forward to placing more orders. Very educational...Go Thai. |
|

Nicole, Dulles VA. Hi, I would like to thank you for the fantastic maps of street food in Bangkok! My husband and I had a great time eating our way around Bangkok and your maps gave us the place to start. Thanks! |
|
|
|
Barbara, Canada. I am taking a few minutes from my busy schedule to compliment you on your wonderful website. I look forward to reading your articles, recipes, etc. In fact, I mention it to my friends, but am reluctant to share your website with them. Now how greedy can one be? It's because I have found something that I want to keep all to myself, Maybe this is love! Your website is the greatest. |
|
|
|
Jesus, Oxnard CA. Your products are 100% authentic and have inspired me to start cooking awesome dishes. I always check out the videos and get some tips, cannot wait to get the wok and start cooking with it. |
|

JoAnne, Somis CA. I received my fresh shipment today and it IS fresh! I'm amazed at how quickly it came, I'm already cooking up a storm-yum! Thanks for the keychain knife, I LOVE my Kiwi, KomKom tools and knives. Thank You for Everything. |
|
|
|
Jeremy, Paducah KY. I recently purchased a tom kha kit from you guys, mainly to fill the missing ingredients i cannot get locally...i made my first red curry chicken tonight and i am absolutley amazed at the difference! it tasted exactly like the local thai food eatery for not nearly the price. thank you guys so much for offering products like this to people who adore cooking thai food but lack local supply, you will definitely be getting more orders from me. |
|
|
|
Chris, San Bernardino CA. Everything came as expected this week. My first two meals went *fantastic.* I can' thank you guys enough for the effective and personalized service, along with the great quality products. As soon as my supply of Panang curry is depleted, you'll be hearing from me soon. Thanks! |
|

Richard, Lynn MA. Love your products and videos - I just returned from my annual vacation in Thailand where I always try to attended Cooking Classes. Your website is the best! |

D'Vonne, Covington LA. Received in perfect order. Thanks for good products and great service! |

Carolyn, Crooked Creek AK. I have to tell you, we had sticky rice (with my sticky rice setup I got from you folks) and a Thai noodle vege dish for supper tonight and it SO reminded us of last winter spent in Thailand..... We are sooo glad to do business with you and buy your yummy food! :-) Your website is sooo very very helpful to a novice like me, and I've learned so much just from cruising the site! Take care, Thanks so much. |
|
|
|
Tommy, La Mesa CA. Hi, I ordered from you guys a long time ago. I ordered the thai rice steamer. Great product, by the way. I've used it for many different things not just rice! Steaming Mexican Tamales in it was THE BEST! |

Robina, Gainesville FL. Thanks for the prompt delivery. Received both rice cookers yesterday. Happy Holidays. |

Jules, Watertown SD. Can you add a big bottle of Sriracha Sauce to my order? I always wrap up a hot sauce for my son in law at xmas. Last year it was Baboon Ass, that was very hot, but i took what i had camping and he loved the flavor of the sarachi best. Smart man. |
|
|
|
Charlie, Manquin VA. I want to take time to thank You folks for the always excellent service I receive with every order. Both your website and your products are excellent. Especially, I should remark on the, well, remarkable packing of my items. I have NEVER seen better packaging. If only others would do so well! Thank You and Merry Christmas, Charlie. |
|
|
|
Carol, Virginia Beach VA. I received my order yesterday. It was packed nicely. I used the Panang Curry Paste to make Panang Curry Chicken last night and it was delicious! :-) I will certainly come back to you when I need Thai ingredients. Thank you. |
|
|
|
Moia, Fort Lee NJ. When service is especially good, I try to take the time to send a positive note (esp. since others tend to only note the negative). I was going to compliment the speed, efficiency and thoroughness of the individual who just took my order for a mortar and pestle. However, since his name was Jerry, I'm guessing it's not simply a coincidence that that's also the name of the company's owner. Your products seem great. Your asssistance was great. I look forward to receiving the mortar and pestle. |
|
|
|
Michael, Fayetteville AR. Thank you so very much. I love you people and appreciate your crusade to turn on America to delicious Thai cuisine. |
|
|
|
Sarah, Charleston SC. I've been meaning to e-mail you back just to say thank you and that I was so impressed to get an actual response from your business. The mortar and pestle I ordered did in fact come on Tuesday and it is wonderful! I can't wait to give it to my boyfriend for Christmas--I know he's going to be very excited! |
|
|
|
Supachit, Seattle WA. I truely admire your quality website and innovative business. I have recommended your website to many of my friends who live outside Thailand. Cheers! |

Richard, Overland Park KS. Package arrived and all items look to be in great shape. Thank you for the extra gift. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone at importfood.com !!! |

Hope, Gray GA. My brother (who is a professionally trained chef) turned me on to your site. He cooked some of your products (red curry with chicken and veggies) for us over the holidays and we enjoyed them very much. We live in middle Georgia and it's hard to find good Thai around here. I can't wait to introduce it to some of my friends. I will give them your web address in the hopes they too will place an order. |
|
|
|
Matt, Williamsburg VA. Thanks for the quick shipping (considering how big the order was). I'm almost alarmed how excited I am about this -- it's my Christmas present from relatives (they gave me the check, I pick what to get) and I've been watching more of the street vendor videos than is good for me. Nice job on the website! The videos are a great incentive to buy, and the links to the products in the video are a good idea. |
|
|
|
Bob, Evansville IN. I did season my street vendor wok over the weekend and used it twice. I have a burner that gets hot enough which is good since it was between 8 and 14 degrees outside! I love my khao pad gai! |
|
|
|
Sarinya, APO. I want to let you know that I appreciate the good service you provide. Other companies that I have been disappointing. My stuff arrives in good condition when I order from you. I really love the Stone (Granite) Mortar and Pestle. We will come back to order from you soon. Thank you so much. |
|
|
|
Jena, Lawrenceville GA. Just received my second order today. I am seriously addicted to the Hand brand red curry. I LOVE the street vendor wok! I've got some seriously hot Coconut Chicken Curry simmering in it right now. The prices are unbelievably low and the shipping is top notch. I love you guys! |
|
|
|
Cathy, Clearwater FL. I received the Thai tea mix yesterday and when I got home I made a batch and we could not believe how good it was. It was easy to make and it tasted as good as the tea we get at the restaurants. I will need to make bigger batches! |
|
|
|
Jonathan, New Tripoli PA. I manufacture high end audio equipment, and I can tell you that rarely does anything I receive come as well packed as the order which I recently received from you. The fish sauce was actually triple boxed. It is superb, by the way, as are all the other ingredients. I am extremely happy with your products and your service. |
|
|
|
Cheryl, Van Wert OH. Recv'd today and was very pleased with all merchandise and packing--will return to shop more! |
|
|
|
Wendy, Doral FL. I wish to let you know that my order was received intact and in good time! Please thank your shipping/packing department and the individual who so carefully wrapped my items and followed my suggestions. It was a terrific job and one that was greatly appreciated! You can be sure that I will order again. |

Khanitha, CO. Sawasdee Kah . I am addicted to your site . I'm from Bangkok and stay in Colorado with my husband now ,I'm so happy to have the Thai food website ,because around my town , it do not have the thai asian store so when I want to eat spicy food , I drove to the mexican shop or resturant .So anyway thanks. |

Vickie, Pearland TX. My order was accurate, delivered on time, and exactly as expected. Actually, I was very impressed with the lemongrass. It was beautiful. |

Barbara, Hilton NY. Hi All- Just wanted to drop you a line or two....I absolutely love your site.I've bought many items(from produce to spices to cookware)) over the last several years. I have never been disappointed...everything is always so wonderful.I have tried many of your recipes...all are so very authentic...like being in Thailand! I just made both your Panang Pizza and the Panang lettuce and tomato sandwiches....this recipe is out of this world!!! And just when I thought you couldn't outdo the Baked Noodle Casserole! I've also tried many of the Street Vendor recipes which are also great. Thankyou for such a wonderful site and the many items and recipes you offer...I shall be a fan for life! |

Dawn, Auburn AL. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your website and newsletter. Your pictures, videos and descriptions make me feel very comfortable about cooking Thai food. I discovered Thai food seven years ago during a trip to Seattle. Sadly I live in Alabama, so it's very difficult to find authentic Thai food. A few years ago, a Thai restaurant opened in a nearby city (Opelika), but closed after about a year. At the time word of mouth was just picking up and they already sold the restaurant. Now it's three years later and I discovered another restaurant that serves Thai food, but not as authentic as my previous restaurant. If I'm lucky, I can get to the restaurant once a week. Why am I telling you all this? Because I can't cook. And I get frustrated very easily when I try. That is why I appreciate your videos. They take some of the "mystery" out of cook and I feel brave enough to try. Please keep sending newsletters. I love them. I am considering taking a cooking class this summer to help with my cooking jitters. Hopefully I'll be able to try more of your recipes. |

Dennis, Gig Harbor WA. My wife, Thongkai, is from the Nakhon Phanom area and loves to "yell" at your street vendor videos, "no, no, that's too much ... (fill in the blank)". She has had a few, "oh, that's how they do it" moments and looks forward to your emails. We'll have been married 40 years this December and it looks like it's going to work out just fine. |
|
|
|
Frank, Castle Rock CO. I just ordered an 8" mortar and pestle from you. In the process I located your web site. I think you did a very nice job with it. You provide useful information while selling items I might want to buy. For example, you provided the recipe for Japanese Udon Noodles and gave me the links to the ingredients I might not have. I also love that you provide a library of videos. I think that your use of technology to run a business is simple, useful, and elegant. Bravo! My friend at work is married to a lady from Thailand. I'll share this site with them. Needless to say that I'll be ordering from you in the future. |
|
|
|
Dylan, Los Angeles CA. I do a massive amount of cooking and I have to admit - your site is one of the best I have ever seen. The videos of the thai street vendors are just wonderful and you do an excellent job narrating them. I made you pad thai recipe tonight and it was absolutely delicious. Thanks so much! |
|
|
|
Margaret, Dawsonville GA. Hello, I recieved my order of spring roll wraps and they are absolutely delicious! I'm having a great time with them. I'm glad I found your websight, I will be ordering again soon! |
|
|
|
Maria, Alexandria VA. Thank you so much for processing my order. The picture on the internet does not give the brass wok justice. I have a lot a copper utensils from Turkey and antique cooking pots from Morocco. This functional art piece goes so well with them. The people in the office said it looks like gold. I think you need a shinier pot on the internet. Whoever created that pot should be very proud. This is something to be passed down to family. By the way, the plum sauce was delicious. We had chicken stir fry with Thai Ginger yesterday and I put some in it. Yum. Next time I will order some Thai ginger. It is very expensive and I usually go to the International Market to buy it. If you can add it to the order today (the cheapest amount to buy) that would be ok as well, because I only have a little dried out piece left. Thank you so much. Have a great day. |
|
|
|
John, Ames IA. I just wanted to say thank you, not only did you have exactly what I needed when my grocery was out, but it was one of the best packing jobs I've ever received. Your magnet is now on my fridge for a reason. |
|
|
|
Marlene, Albuquerque NM. GUYS! I've lost 60 (count 'em - 60) pounds and I'm still going strong with my fabulous "pointless soup" and your amazingly delicious curry. I'm told that in addition to having lost 60 pounds, I look like I've lost 15 years. What a boost to a girl's ego! At 62, this is always good to hear. Thanks again and again! With love and appreciation. |
|
|
|
Amanda, Nashville TN. I love you guys and I love seeing the recipes you send out. Also, I love getting an email that reminds me I'm almost out of Fish Sauce or Curry Paste or anything else. |
|
|
|
Richard, San Diego CA. Yes! I just finished unpacking my new ceramic soup bowls (both sizes), 7-inch pot with lid and pedestal plate. They are truly exquisite and oh so beautiful! Also, I have never received a package in which the contents were packed with such care and attention to detail. Thank you and best regards. |

Terri, Enterprise AL. Wow, just got my first order from ImportFood.com and I could not be more pleased! I ordered some canned and jar goods as well as fresh produce. (I was leery after other online orders of produce - that company sent?the entire order, canned goods, cookware and produce,?in the same box.??It took six days to arrive and the produce was much worse for the wear. I called your customer service and was assured, by a VERY helpful and pleasant gentlemen, that I would receive my good shipped separately so that the produce items would arrive fresh. I got both orders on the same day and the quality was excellent!! Five stars, without a doubt. Generous portions of high-quality produce. My husband and I must've stood in the kitched for five minutes passing the Kaffir lime leaves and Thai basil back and forth inhaling the delicious scents. Thanks for delivering such quality, both in product and in customer service!! I can't wait to order again and will recommend your site to anyone who is interested in Thai cuisine. I'm heading to the market to get some prawns right now and tonight my house will be filled with the smell of fresh tom yum koong. Thanks, ImportFood team! |

Eija, Glen Burnie MD. This site is the best thing since sliced bread! The recipies and products are out of this world and I dont have to miss any of my favorite dishes anymore since the ingredients are so easily available thru this site. i specially enjoy watching the street vendors in action, feels like I'm there in flesh!! Thank You so much and DONT EVER CHANGE!!! |
|

|
Fred, Bangkok. Recently my daughter in the US had to present her senior project to her peers. As a designer she designed a Thai Restaurant and to make the presentation more appealing she asked if she could serve a Thai dish to her guests. I suggested Khow Neuw Mamuang and ordered her your sticky rice set. Both were great hits. She has become a fan of your site and I look forward to cooking some Thai dishes for her when I come to the US in May. Keep up the good work. |
|
|
|
Patsy, Ishpeming MI. This sight is so helpful in really teaching me to make wonderful Thai dishes. I really like that I'm able to biy actual ingredients. Thank You. |
|
|
|
Jules, Watertown SD. Love everything I had acquired from your online store, none of these items available here in the plains. My fav has been the mama noodles packets. Easy and loaded with flavor. Lemongrass wonderful to work with. I am very very satisfied with the items and the shipping care. Thank you so much. |
|
|
|
Wayne, Oak Lawn IL. I haven't found a better Asian grocer on the web. If you're into Oriental cuisine, this is the place to visit! Recipes, tips, variety -and once a month $5 flat shipping -stock-up, I do! Enjoy! |
|
|
|
Marcia, West Jefferson NC. What a pleasant surprise today when my mail lady brought me your package. I really didn't expect it until maybe Wednesday of this week! The items look so fresh; I can hardly wait to start cooking with them...tomorrow...will start with the Tom Yum Kung (hot and sour soup with prawns)!! By the way, I love your street vendor videos. Question, can you send me the Tom Kha Salmon recipe from the Prime Minister of Thailand? For some reason, it did not copy completely. Thanks. Again, thanks for the prompt service. |
|
|
|
William, Silver Spring MD. The mortar is incredible. It'll get strong recommendations and may be a christmas present or two next year. I'm VERY happy. |
|
|
|
Amy, Traunik MI. The lemongrass arrived Yesterday in stellar condition! It's just awesome - Lilys Thanks you !! Followup Email: Your 'company' is fabulous and I love it that it's small. We are husband and wife run also. But - what a website. The street vendor filming, editing, you just do a wonderful job at it. Walking around filming must SMELL incredible! I can't spend enough time there. |
|
|
|
Bonnie, Alden MI. You have a wonderful web sight. I have learned so much just checking everything over. I thank you for this. Your recipes are great and also the service is excellent. |
|
|
|
Debbie, Mena AR. I received my order today, everything was in perfect condition. You did such a great job packing! I am looking forward to making Cha Gio, now I have the rest of the ingredients I need. I have moved to a small town, and there are no Asian-style markets, so I looked to you and you really delivered. Again, thank you. I will order from your company again when I need the things I can't get here. |
|
|
|
Tracie, Eastport ID. Thanks so much for the excellent customer service! I was really surprised at how quick my shipment arrived. Thanks again from a new & very happy customer. |

Joe, Brodhead, KY. Do not buy the Shing Shang crispy fish unless you want to become addicted to them! I had to order another item from Importfood.com so thought that I’d try a container of Shing Shang. First nibble and they were OK, but now that I’m near the bottom of the jar I can’t stop. The texture is mostly crispy and just a bit chewy. They are sweet and at the same time hot, fish taste, but mild. A really neat snack. This Import foods order was shipped promptly, as always super well packed. Thanks Import Foods. |
|
|
|
Cheryl, Wantagh NY. I just wanted to tell you how pleased we are with our order. The shipping was fast, and even more importantly, we were very impressed with the excellent care that was taken to pack the jars. Thank you so much for the wonderful service! |
|

Patsy, Lubbock TX. I just received the 8" mortar & pestle, and I love it!! It is a birthday gift for my son who loves to make guacamole dip. The service was superb---ordered it on Thursday and received it on Monday. Thank you!! |

Mary, Spotsylvania VA. We received the items. The tea is awesome...we're so glad to have found your website! |

Kellie, Minneapolis MN. I received my mortar and pestal today. I didn't know it was going to be so beautiful. It looks cool on my granite countertop. I love the bamboo steamer, and the wok. I did not check the size when ordering the fish sauce and just thought it would be the tiny bottle like they sell at cub. It was huge! Your packaging was superb! I will be back for more things. Thank you very much. |

Karen, Lansing MI. Wow.... what a awsome web site. I love the videos. And thanks for adding the more... what a suprise today when I logged in. They are helping me learn how to cook Thai food. Yummy... I ordered the Thai Street Vendor Steel Wok about a month ago and I'm so thrilled, it's so lightweight. I have seen many in the stores and they are heavy and I was concerned about being able to lift. But no problem. khorb khun. |

Kathy. Received my order on Friday and just wanted to let you know how impressed I was with the freshness! All of the produce was fresh as can be. I had shopped earlier in the day at a local Asian market (was afraid your order wouldn't make it) and was so disappointed with the wilted or old produce. When I returned home I found your order on the steps! It arrived just in time for our Valentine's Day Thai dinner we were cooking with friends..Thanks so much for providing this service. I also tried the recipes and they are also great! |

Kyle, Sioux Center IA. I just wanted to thank you for such a quick reply to my email question about the pickled ginger...and on a Saturday! I'm from Alaska and have been living in Iowa due to a sick relative and I really miss the availability of Thai and Japanese ingredients. I was happy to just find your site, but even more happy with the service. Thank you. |

Nanette, Spring TX. What a great website - lots of info and even recipes, as well as a variety of products. I love Thai food, but have been too intimidated to try it at home. I'm so excited to get my order. Followup email: I'm gradually trying out all my purchases, and so far everything is excellent. I can't believe I can have good thai food at home. I'm getting ready to go fix some quick spring rolls for lunch. Just wanted to let you know I plan to do more shopping with you in the future. Thanks again for a great website and quality products. |

Jody, Mt Prospect IL. I can't tell you how impressed I am at the service and quality of the products I ordered from you company. It's simply the best ever. In faact, I wrote about your company and put it on my blogging web site. Fishhawk Road--- this is my site if you'd like to take a look. Lots of people view it so I thought I'd let everyone know about you and your company and the marvelous recipes. I'll definitely be highlighting more of your recipes and ordering more. Keep up the great work. I wish you the best. |

Elizabeth, Kailua HI. Your well packed package arrived yesterday and everything is fine. Thank you for getting everything in the box that I wanted - and for shipping by flat rate box.

Paul, Woodhaven MI. I have ordered from you two times. Both times I was VERY impressed, because the shipping was extremely fast. Thank you so much for offering so many items that would otherwise be hard to find. I have told all my friends about to go online to check out all you items. The latest order was Christmas gifts for some of my friends. I was shocked, when they were delivered so fast. THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Luposian, Sierra Vista AZ. Just received my 6" granite mortar and pestle a few hours ago (12/9/08) and it reduced my recently pulled and dried dandelion root, into pulverized bits (for making homemade DRT (pronounced "Dirt"; Dandelion Root Tea)), in a couple seconds! Amazing! I love it! I'm trying to think of other uses for it, as I speak! |

Liz, Toronto ON. I've been on your email list for awhile now, and wanted to let you know that I thoroughly enjoy reading about your products, plus watching the videos. I love the authenticity. Not just that it's all authentically Thai, but also that you are real people and your personality comes through. I really like the way you narrate the videos. It's all so honest and down to earth. You also do a great job of keeping the web site updated and providing lots of information about how to do things. I love to eat Thai food, but I'm not a great cook, and I'm easily intimidated when things look difficult. The way you describe things makes it all sound do-able -- very encouraging! Combining that with offering everything one needs to prepare the food, you're doing a terrific job of making Thai cooking accessible. Thanks! |
|
|
|
Wilma, Mission Viejo CA. Jerry, thank you so much for your help and being so kind and patient......even enough to direct me around your wonderful website. I have been on there for a couple hours just checking out everything. I can't wait to get my shipment so I can start cooking... I feel like I know you already ......such a kind and helpful person. I saw the pic of you and your little wife...nice couple. |
|

|
Jena, Atlanta GA. I received my order today and I'm so excited! It arrived so fast. I can't wait to start cooking. I love Thai food but never made it because I couldn't find the ingredients. I told a Thai friend about importfood.com and she's so excited because you have the black rice she's been looking for. |

Noble House Catering, Longview TX. I had to write you and let you know how very pleased I am with the mortar and pestle that I ordered from you. It is absolutely a work of art, with just the right amount of texture, color and shape. Thanks for a quality product. |
|

Lynetta, Holden MO. I received my order yesterday and am very excited to cook with those delicious smelling kaffir leaves! Thanks so much. |
|
|

Johnny, OK. After several orders you just keep getting better. Have ordered lots of food and spices, wok, snacks and "specials". Every recipe you shared has come out perfect. Never been disappointed and will be a customer as long as you will have me. P.S. Thanks for the ginger candy and coffee mix! Will be ordering these items. |
|
|
|
Rhonda, San Diego CA. I love the mortar and pestle! I ordered the 8" and 6". I love the 6" it is a kitchen staple.I use it to take the skin off of garlic, don't use too much pressure. I make guacamole in it and then use it to serve. Its great to break up nuts for pancakes and muffins. Its wonderful to use to make a bean dip like hummus. Or to smash beans to be refried.I love making Thai food and that is why I purchased it, but as you can see it is great for all types of cooking! Love it! |
|

Whitney, Dillon MT. I received the papaya in fine condition yesterday, thanks so much for keeping in touch about my order. I really appreciate it. Have a great day, Whitney. |

Hans, Clarkston MI. I recently received my latest order. I just thought I'd take a moment to say thanks. Your packing is perfect and shipping is super fast. And as usual the products are excellent. Thanks to you and the internet I can enjoy great Thai food here in Michigan |
|
|
|
Deborah, Greer SC. Just wanted to let you know that I received the replacement satay mixes today. I want to compliment you and your company on the professional way you handled my order. A sign of a good company is one that not only handles its day-to-day operations, but rectifies occasional errors with speed and courtesy. I appreciate your effort. Thank you. |

Darlene, Brinnon WA. I have ordered from you for some time. Please let me tell you how delighted I am with your products and your service... and your videos on the site are just great too. Each time I receive an order from you I smile as I unwrap what you have so carefully protected during shipment. It is just outstanding.... not one single dented can or ruined product yet... so unusual... and your deligence brings me back to reorder from you. Thank you so much for your attention to that important detail. |
|
|
|
Maureen, Dardenne Prairie MO. (note: this is the very first customer of ImportFood.com, from 1999, and she still orders 10 years later). I sure am enjoying your website lately, especially the videos of the street vendors! Keep up the good work! |
|
|
|
Deirdre, Baltimore MD. I got my order yesterday & just wanted to say thanks for taking such care with the packaging. The mortar & pestle were incredibly heavy! But you wrapped up all the glass-bottle items so well & everything arrived in perfect condition. Again, it was a pleasure doing business with you. |
|
|
|
Monica, San Antonio TX. Just wanted to let you know that I received my two granite mortar and pestles yesterday and they were both in perfect condition! Pictures don't do these items justice - They're beautiful! The square m&p looks like a piece of modern sculpture and the "ancient style" one is almost too beautiful to use! |
|
|
|
Vitha, Chicago IL. wow!amazing....Great job guy's. After recieving the pakage i invited many friends and had a thai party.Also recommended your website. |
|
|
|
C Wilborn. I just love the video series you run. Your emails are the only mass emails I don't throw out, and I buy stuff from your store despite the fact I live in a really well-rounded city for Thai and Vietnamese ingredients. It's a great model and I wish more sites followed your lead! |
|
|
|
Earl, Bedford Ontario. I just wanted to let you know I received my order a few weeks ago, in good shape. I'm not into Thai food, but Italian, and the mortar and pestle did a superb job making pesto. I'll never go back to using a blender again, the taste is so much more intense. Thanks again. |
|
|
|
Gary, Nacogdoches TX. I just returned from a two week trip to Thailand. While there I attended 4 days of culinary school, where we learned to prepare quite a few of the dishes that keep me coming back. When I got home, I happened upon your site. EUREKA! I ordered two mortar and pestles and spices, lime leaves, etc....I am completely impressed at your quality and value. The 8" mortar is exactly the same as in our cooking class. I love it and am telling all my friends. Living in a small town, it is difficult to find things like Kafir lime leaves. You have it all. Thank you! |

DeWayne, Boise ID. Wow! Fantastic service and products. I had no idea I would be receiving my order so promptly. One day I'm ordering, the next thing I know I'm eating authentic Pad Thai, which by-the-way, is the best Thai dish ever. It's very exciting to know that authentic Thai products are so readily available to me, living here in Boise, ID. Thanks for a great service and I look forward to a future partnership in Thai cuisine. |

Peggy, Rancho Cordova CA. I am absolutely delighted to get the story of Thai wedding traditions, along with pictures of the beautiful and colorful wedding foods. I hadn't known anything about Thai weddings. As always, I treasure the authentic recipes, and I cook Thai dishes for company often (after I practice for my own meals before I serve to guests!). I fix Thai Congee for my own breakfast most often, as I prefer it over American style breakfasts. Your web site, and the mail order items you offer are the very best, especially your wonderful service. I recommend it to everyone who likes Thai food as the best presented and maintained web site of all I have ever checked. I don't even bother looking at any other any more! Keep up the great work. |
|
|
|
Michelle, Borrego Springs CA. I received the lime leaves - in excellent condition. Thank you and I'll definitely be ordering more delicious stuff from you in the near future! |

Vishal, Irving TX. The Panang Curry Paste is such a hit in my family and friend circle... I cannot thank you enough! Plus the shipping and customer service is awesome! |

Chinatsu, Valdez AK. I am just writing to say Thank you. We have recently moved from Sammamish, WA to a very small town in Alaska :). This place only has one super market in town and I was having a hard time getting Asian ingredients. Oneday someone commented me on my blog and told me about you! I have been craving Thai foods since I've gotten pregnant so I was so happy to find you! Unlike other webstore, you give us a deal on shipping. That really helps me! I am using your recipes and they are great. I would like to request recipes for *YUM WOON SEN* and *SEN LEK NARM *in the future. And if you could provide a small set of "Lemongrass, Thai chile and Kaffir lime leaves" also helps! I hope you consider this. I have enjoyed Street Vendor Video! I love it! I will recommend your store to my friends and people who love Thai Food. |

Sharlene, Suffolk VA. I have been looking for a QUALITY mortar and pestle for two years. I have tried numerous types but none lasted long. I ordered your 7" mortar and pestle and I adore IT! It is not only gorgeous but it is functional. The attention to detail is outstanding. The pestle has a slight flat edge on one side to keep it from rolling off the counter. The mortar's sturdy construction makes it built to last. I can foresee only one reason to buy a second mortar and that is to get the 9"! I also purchased your set of Soy Sauces. WONDERFUL! A+++ The tastes are authentic and everything was packaged securely. My experience with your service and quality of product will keep me coming back. I will recommend you to all my friends. I look forward to doing business with you in the future. |
|
|
|
Cassandra, Huntington WV. Hey-I just wanted to compliment you guys on not only an amazing website but wonderful products as well. I really wanted a selection of Asian spices that I can't get where I live and ordered from you. Opening the box and going through my order was better than Christmas morning! I can't wait to start cooking with all of it. I will definitely order from you again!! |
|
|
|
Thomas, Romeo MI. I see I'm not the only one compelled to compliment you. Who are you guys? I feel like I've stepped into a strange world from the past...or the future. I don't know. The total package: the products, the recipes, the street vendor videos, the fostering of an online community, the careful packaging, and the calm and respectful demeanor. I'm impressed. Thank you. |
|
|
|
Steve, Reno NV. You guys rock!! I ordered the Okonomiyaki pizza kits and sauce on for a dinner party I am planning just praying I would have it in time. I called in for a tracking number and a very polite professional gentleman told me that I may not receive the package in time, he graciously apologized and thanked me for my business, and told me that rush orders are best called in. I got the package this afternoon!!! You folks really stepped up for me on the shipping and I greatly appreciate the service. You're welcome anytime for Yakatori and Okonomiyaki pizza! Thanks again! |
|

|
Andy, Corning NY. You are great! It's true!! The produce arrived yesterday and it is A++ quality. The galangal is great the lime leaves superb and thanks for throwing in the bag of peppers. Let's stay in touch and thanks again for providing a great product at a great price. |
|
|
|
Christine, Port Jefferson NY. Thank you for the wonderful, fresh produce offerings. They arrived quickly and well packed. My family has been enjoying all of our purchases. The prices are actually more reasonable than our Asian market with a better selection. You can't ask for more... Thanks again. |
|
|
|
Amy, Tumwater WA. Hey, I just want to thankyou for the order. I received it so fast and was very excited! I appreciate it~ I have told some friends about your website~YOU should be getting some more orders soon! I know I will order again. Thankyou. |

Jennifer, Kamloops BC. Received the mortar and pestle today and it is absolutely wonderful. Thank you.
|

Ja, Sharma FL. Thank you for good products and excellent service. I received my first order in perfect conditions. I really love Thai Sriracha Sauce and Mushroom Vegetarian Sauce. I couldn't find them from local Asian groceries. Unbelievable, I got them from your store!! |
|
|
|
Alta, Donna TX. Thank you for the prompt service on our very first order! It surely will not be the last. We have for years missed the pickled ginger that we received today and just in time for dinner! We appreciate your company and the standards set. Thank You. |
|
|
|
Pauline, Blaine WA. I received my order yesterday and everything arrived in perfect condition, you do an excellent job with the packing. The mortar and pestle is beautiful - just like the one I used at the Thai Cooking class I attended last November in Chaing Mai. Now I can get the herbs and spices etc from you I'll be making lots of Thai food. |
|
|
|
Amy, Kearney NE. Thanks so much for your fabulous customer service and large selection! I just received my first (hopefully of many!) order from you and it was beautifully packed and everything looks delicious. |

Loretta, Litchfield ME. I love everything I bought from Importfood.com. Can't believe how fast it came. (When you order things online, you want them immediately! The order doesn't come that fast, but close enough!! lol) Loved the Thai Green Chili Peppers... the Chicken Broth is better than any I've ever had. (In fact I'm back to order a case this time!) The Palm Sugar is great... loved trying all of the different canned fruits. (great for martinis!) This time I will order the Mulberry Tea and the Bael Tea, and Aloe Vera Gel for their health benefits. (Dr. OZ was on Oprah the other day talking about how good Mangosteens are for us... as well as Mulberry and many other Asian foods, so I came straight to Import Foods to order them!) Thanks!! Great service and great products. |

Gail, New York NY. Just to let you know, the order arrived and it's perfect and right on time. Many thanks. |

Lisa, Orange CA. I love ImportFood.com! I ordered 2 starter packages, and I received everything in perfect order! I placed my order a few months ago, and I still have items I haven't a chance to use yet. I love the curries and noodles, pad thai sauce, peanut sauce and so much more. I use my Wok everyday and just love how quickly and great my food tastes. My roommates tell me when I am cooking, the house smells like a Thai Resturant! You guys rock!
|

Ron, Goldthwaite TX. Both shipments arrived promptly and in good order. And, both my wife AND I are very happy to have some good food ingredients as well as cookware! I must tell you, I’ve never received a personal message following an internet purchase such as I am replying to. Amazing personal service and attention! Thanks. You may be sure we will continue to do business with Import Foods. |
|
|
|
Stephen, Marshall AR. Just wanted to say that my wife is extatic over her foods. It puts a smile on my face when she is happy, so thank you very much to you for helping me take care of my wife. I am going to talk it over with my wife to see how often she needs shipments and then I would like to set up something to where we can automatically send food every so often and just take it off my card. Got to keep the wives happy. A happy wife is a happy home. Again, thank you so much for your store and your services. Take care. |
|
|
|
Joe, Brodhead, KY. My order came from Importfoods promptly and well packed. I tried the Tra Chang Gold Label fish sauce....what a treat. To my taste it is mild, not unpleasant to the nose, less salty and yet flavorful. Thanks for a great product! |
|
|
|
Kenneth, New Castle DE. I just received an order for canned products which will do me for a while. The information about keeping the basil in a jar was very helpful and I will order a fresh batch. The last basil I ordered was put to good use. I used some fresh and kept it in the refrig. I found a recipe to make basil oil on the Net and made a batch which has been great. The rest I bundeled with rubber bands in several packets and hung them on my kitchen cupboard until they dried. This worked very well and I only have a pinch left. Seemed to keep a nice flavor and I used it in dishes and soups. Thanks again. |
|
|
|
Joyce, Redlands CA. My family and I have a favorite Thai restaurant here, and the other night we celebrated 3 of our birthdays by going there for dinner. After our meal the waiter brought out a dessert that he called sticky rice with mangos. It was heavenly. So I researched the recipe and found it on your website. My husband and I just sampled it and it also was heavenly. I can't thank you enough for your assistance with this recipe. My next endeaver is going to be the Thai Spicey Lemongrass Chicken. Again thank you. |
|
|
|
Victoria, Keene NH. I am really enjoying all of the good stuff that you sent last time. I think that you must publish a recipe book. Your Thai recipes are so good, and much, much better than those available in other Thai cookbooks! I have been cooking like crazy, my house smells wonderful, and all of our friends love the food.We have 1 Thai restaurant in Keene, but they are SO
expensive, and serve very small portions. When they began charging $1.95 for 1 cup of steamed rice.............we all rebelled. Now everyone is cooking their own Thai food. I have a rice cooker/steamer, and it is always in use. I could easily use #50 of rice/month. Thanks again for your wonderful service! |
|
|
|
Lyn, Alameda CA. Sweet people, I had such fun cooking a Thai feast of my son---ajar, chicken masaman, and eggplant something---how great is that? and I'm full-blooded Italian! Anyway, thank you so much for your great recipes which I found very easy to follow and true to our restaurant experience. I'm about to place another order but have a question: which dessert is best? thank you so much, lyn. |
|
|
|
Michael, West Paterson NJ. Thank you for these wonderful Spring Roll wrappers. The package arrived earlier today and I've already made 6 wrappers which turned out very well. Now, I will look for some authentic recipes to try out. |
|
|
|
Courtenay, Chapel Hill NC. I just wanted to let you know that I wrote about your Curry Paste from Scratch video yesterday. I also adapted your recipe for green curry paste, and ran another recipe today, using that paste. The homemade curry paste utterly transformed a dish I've been making for years--thank you! Your videos are terrific. I am a fan. |
|
|
|
Tony, Corinth MS. Received my order today. Everything is beautiful. Thank you for the great care you take in packing. Very good! Will be ordering again soon. |
|
|
|
Kurt, Soquel CA. I received my order today and I have to say the new wok turner you are offering is excellent. A vast improvement over the Chinese one I'm using. The wooden handle is always coming out of the handle and getting lost. It's great that you continue to expand your product offerings. |
|
|
|
Jessica, Tuscaloosa AL. We finally used the pho paste today - it was fantastic - I added some extra ginger, and used bean thread noodles and very thinly sliced leftover roast pork, garnished with lime, scallions, bean sprouts and cilantro. It was great! |
|
|
|
Terry, Palermo ME. I can't believe how beautiful and heavy my mortar and pestle set is! The quality is superb. I made pesto with my fresh basal as soon as it arrived and it was perfect. It also arrived the same week I ordered it. Thank you so much for such a beautiful accessory to my kitchen. |
|
|
|
Rocky, Brandon MS. Just a quick follow up. Package was received. Thanks again. As always, pleasure doing business with you guys! |
|
|
|
Kathleen, Columbia MD. At first I was fascinated watching your cooking videos. Then with your shipping special I ordered everything I needed for the recipes. Everything was perfectly packed, glass jars were double wraped and Kaffir lime leaves were like I picked them myself. I'm happy to say it the dishes are as easy to make as the videos show! |
|
|
|
Dionne, IL. I'm excited about trying Thai food. I'm African American and has always been interested in trying different foods other than what I'm normally accustomed to. This is a special treat because not only do I get to try Thai food but also to prepare my own. Thanks so much for websites such as these. |
|
|
|
Bob, Stuart FL. What a great site! All the products, especially the hard-to-find produce like lime leaves and lemon grass, within easy reach. I will be a repeat customer! |
|
|
|
Rick, Starke FL. I just got your tra chang fish sauce, EXELANT! Just a few drops flavored my noodles , thanks for the great product line you carry. |
|
|
|
Mark, Bangor ME. All of the fresh produce that I ordered earlier in the week arrived to our home in Bangor as promised by Friday and all in good condition. Thanks again for everything you're doing with your business, I think it's great! But then, how could spreading information about one of the world's tastiest, most creative and elegant cuisines not be a wonderful thing to do? |
|
|
|
Marian, Chicago IL. Of the six or seven mortars and pestles we own, this is far away the best. |
|
|
|
Aquibalon, Austell GA. As usually I was please with my last order of the Thai Basil. Thanks so much! |
|
|
|
Earl, Glencoe Ontario. I just wanted to let you know I received my order a few weeks ago, in good shape. I'm not into Thai food, but Italian, and the mortar and pestle did a superb job making pesto. I'll never go back to using a blender again, the taste is so much more intense. |

Mike, Bend OR. Hi I ordered one of these 11" meat knives yesterday and I put my expensive set of Globals aside. These are great. Have to get some for gifts and introduce them to Import foods. Thanks again, Mike. |

Diana, Nevada City, CA. Thank you ....your web site is the best. Items you carry are my favorite. I live a long way from a store where I can purchase these items. |

Caralyn, Caldwell NJ. This is my second order and I wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed your products. Your web site, with the discriptions and recipes, is incredible. I really appreciate your comparison of products and opinions. I was very impressed when, I was looking at a product and you recommended it over a more expensive one. I have always enjoyed Thai food, but making it at home with your wonderful products is even better. Thanks. |
|
|
|
Chef Williams, Timberline Inn, Beaver UT. You guys really stepped up to the plate. Everything arrived just as I needed it and the product looked great. I teach a cooking class and everyone was asking me where I bought the great Fresh Thai Basil. I hope I can throw some more business your way. Thanks again for getting what I needed to me on time. |
|
|
|
David and Hope, Borg ME. I just wanted to take the time to tell you we have enjoyed your products. My mother-in law sent us some Kaffir lime leaves, from your company, after we told her we were having a hard time trying to find the leaves fresh. When they arrived the leaves were in amazing condition and smelled wonderful.

Andy, Corning NY. About a year ago I purchased Importfood's wok and I love it!!! I use it just about every day. It seasoned quickly and deeply and is relatively stick proof. In addition, it's light weight, sturdy, has a large cooking area inside, a solid wooden handle, and great heat distribution. It also heats up very quickly. In short, it's just a pleasure to use!! The flat bottom is perfect for my gas burning stove and I don't need to worry about it tipping or food spilling out. A nice extra is that the Wok is really inexpensive when you compare it to others on the market. It's a steal for the price! What did I do with my old wok? I threw it away. The only bad news is that I no longer use my fancy and expensive pot and pan set that my wife and I got as a wedding gift! Thank you Importfood.com! I think I have entered Wok Heaven!. |

Fred, Camano Island WA. I was amazed and delighted to receive the package of fresh galangal, Thai chiles, and Kaffir lime leaves within 24 hours of my order. This is a marvelous company, from which I have now just ordered everything to make my first grand Pad Thai, which is, I trust, only the beginning of many orders to come. Although we have many good Asian markets in the Seattle area, none offer the remarkable range of Thai products that ImportFood.com does. |

Pete Pica, Culinary Instructor, Granger IN. This is excellent for the price. I am a professional chef and love the quality of this mortar and pestle. I am always happy to endorse excellent products. Quality and value are so important. |

Michelle, Boulder WY. I received your 6" granite mortar and pestle a few months ago and have been very pleased. I never knew a mortar and pestle could work so well. I just love it. I'm ordering the 8" as well now because it will be better for making large amounts and also for pounding things like dried watermelon seeds, which tend to jump and escape from the smaller mortar. I won't be surprised if in a little while I will be ordering the 9". That one is probably too heavy for me, but will be great for putting the menfolk to work once in a while -- and will make a great looking serving bowl. I have used suribachi, marble, ceramic, metal and wood mortars and pestles before and your wonderful granite ones are my favorites by far. No contest. Superb! |
|

Peggy, Springfield OR. Received the order today and everything was received in excellent condition, except the lime leaves which are coming via Priority Mail. Can't believe I received this so soon. Thank you for your excellent service. I look forward to future orders. |

Michael, Canadian TX. Just wanted to send a special Thank You for the shipping department. They wrapped my shipment in bubble wrap and not one of the cans were dented. Good Job. |

Christine, Gaithersburg MD. I just had to write again! As always, I love your store, and have been particularly pleased with my hand-forged brass wok and the pro-slice peeler. My latest creation with one of your products is just amazing (if I do say so myself!)...I steamed some little neck clams with fresh basil and tom yum paste...what a powerful flavor! I then used the resulting broth on rice noodles and threw in some other seafood. I feel like there are no limits to what can be done with your ingredients -- I have an entire Thai pantry now! I am always happy to let folks know when I am pleased with products, especially when they are accompanied by terrific customer service...unfortunately the latter is extremely hard to come by these days, so when I find it I am that much more appreciative! Your website has been a culinary godsend...it is so hard to find stuff in Asian grocers sometimes because the labels are not in English...I love that you guys have such great descriptions of your products, they have enabled me to try so many different things! I am a real fan of the Pho paste...I can't image ever trying to make the real thing myself, but this is so darn close, especially if you through some star anise in while it is simmering...I have bought it for friends who are huge, but finicky Pho fans and they too have been pretty impressed. |

Dave, Petersburg AK. You always provide great service and my wife loves shopping with you. In small town Alaska you are a blessing. |
|
|
|
Kristin, Washington MO. Thank you for your extra efforts! I greatly appreciate it. I did indeed write a cookbook & included your site. I couldn't imagine writing a cookbook and not including it. Your products, and service, are fabulous. I am actually teaching a cooking class over the weekend, which is why I was in such a hurry for my order. (I realized at the last minute I was running low on some things.) I will be sure to mention that I have the items for the class thanks to your effort. |
|
|
|
Allison, Email. I wanted to let you know that you have an absolutely wonderful website! I had a lot of fun looking over the Thai vendors and all the recipes! Your passion for what you are doing is wonderful. I learned so much. My Thai cooking is now definitely at a new more authentic level. Thank you! |
|

Olga, Palm City FL. I cannot believe how fast I received my two mortar and pestles. Gorgeous beyond my expectations. Thank you for your great service and fast shipping. My son will love his too. |
|
|
|
Ed, Thompson CT. I have stopped going to my local asian market and I only purchase from you now. Your descriptions are very informative, and I can make my buying decisions with no regrets. I will continue to purchase from you. I have never had anything broken--not even the rice wrappers! Keep up the good work! Your customers have come to rely on it! |

Carol, La Marque TX. I received my order yesterday, and am very pleased with it. I haven't ordered frequently with your company, but have always been immensely pleased with your products and service when I do order, and have provided your web site information to several other people, who have been just as pleased with your company.? Between us, we have ordered sauces and seasonings, cookware and cooking utensils, fresh produce and pasta - and whether we use our own recipes or ones you provide, we've never been disappointed with anything we have ordered.? You bring the market to my doorstep - thank you.

Hunter, Bellingham WA. Thank you for the prompt shipment of my Thai Iced Tea Mix and Filter. I opened it immediately and began brewing my tea. I will definitely do business with you in the future! Thank You & Namaste. |

Xochitl, Montebello CA. I just finished brewing your Thai ice tea and I carefully followed your instructions and I am so very happy. It tastes exactly like the one sold in Thai resturants. Awesome. Thank you. |

Christian, Skagway AK. ((((((((((((((((Yay ImportFoods!!!)))))))))))))))))))) I am really looking forward to everything I ordered! I found everything & more that I wanted. Your site is great and I always look forward toordering goodies at the end of the summer! |

|
|
Daisy, New York City. This is the first time ordering however, I was extremely satisfied with the curry paste and the Thai recipes that you guys share with the public. The curry taste in the food was exactly like the thai food I usually eat from the Thai restaurant in my neighborhood. I'm very satisfied. Thanks. DAISY from New York. |

Malee, Orlando FL. My sister is a miang khem addict. Every time she comes to Florida from NY she has to gather up as much bai chaploo (Thai betel) as she can carry back on the plane with her. I moved to another house and was having trouble transplanting and getting it to grow in the new soil, so when she asked me to bring her some on a recent trip, I was really hard-pressed, so I ordered it from Importfood.com and had it shipped to her! Thanks for saving the day!
|

|
|
Ken, Cedar Hill TX. I just wanted to say that I was very satisfied with my first order. I was somewhat apprehensive ordering glass bottled fish sauce and the like, but the packing was excellent, and everything arrived in perfect condition and in a timely manner! Great work! And that level of service was directly responsible for my second order! |
|
|
|
Keith, Chesterland OH. We would like to thank you for your promt reply to our question and for standing behind your fresh produce. We did receive the galangal soon after your email and it was indeed fresh. We would definitely shop at importfood.com again. |

Robert, Kennesaw GA. Thank you for making my first purchase a good experience.It's nice to have someone act on a request like you did.I wish everyone worked that way!!! Thanks again and have a wonderful evening !!!! |

Ben, Mammoth Lakes CA. You are a pleasure to work with. Service is a lost art in today’s business world. Thank you. |
|
|
|
Anne, Revere PA. Just received my first order. We are thoroughly enjoying all of the fine sauces and products in our now authentic Thai and Chinese recipes. Thank you for being there. |
|
|
|
Robert, Douglas City CA. The mortar and pestle work great. I make traditional Thai recipes without shortcuts so I greatly appreciate how quickly I can pound and grind ingredients. Tomorrow I will use my barbeque for the first time for satay and have already ground the roasted curry paste and the red chili paste to make the satay sauce. I'll also try the sticky rice recipe tomorrow as well. I look forward to making real "la lot" beef roles instead of the grape leaves I have been using. They are good, but not the same as the real thing. I will freeze most of these groceries because I am only one person. Cheers. |

Charles, Beulah CO. I have been very impressed by the way your company has handled my order. As small as it was, it was handled in a very professional way Your web site is very helpful and well done. I will be trading with your company in the future and will recommend you to several of my friends. |
|
|

James, Homosassa FL. Thanks for getting our gifts to my friends on time. The whole crew deserves a big thanks for the work they did during the storm problems. YEA!! for them. My wife loves her new rice steamer but she just had to point out at our last model (looked just like the new one) lasted 38 years and was purchased in Korat for 15 Baht (1967, 75 cents US at the time). She says she is sure the new steamer will as long, but is not sure I will. |

Sinyee, Cumming GA. This service you provide is a life saver!! |

Sara, Sahuarita AZ. Hello one more time. Well I have good news. I received my order today and it was very well worth the extra days wait. It's a beautiful item and of course immediately I used it today for our dinner. Thank you for your willingness to help solve the delivery issue. I look forward to ordering again from your company. |

Marylyn, Houston TX. I live in Houston, TX and this city has a very large and diverse asian community with vast asian markets, but believe it or not, as big as the markets are here, I have a very hard time finding a specific item. So I decided to search the internet for NANAMI Togarashi and found 2 websites that I considered purchasing from . After adding the same quantity to my cart from both sites, I found that your site has a more reasonable shipping charge and decided to proceed with the checkout after adding a few other different items (The other website is a MAJOR shopping site that starts with an "A"). My order came in promptly and with more-than-Excellent packaging! I'm so glad to have found your site and you'll definately be seeing more of me! |
|

Joan, Myrtle Beach SC. Just wanted you to know that the order mentioned above was received and greatly appreciated by the recipient. Thanks for your prompt and courteous caring for this small order. It certainly won't be my last order with your company. |
|
|
|
Joe, New Castle PA. Wow! My order just arrived, packaged as if it were to travel around the world twice! The 8in. granite mortar and pestle is impressive (and beautiful workmanship). The recipe you had for the Larb Gai and sticky rice turned out great, just as I remembered from the Bangkok House, Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. I'll be heading down there to visit Su, Tukta, Benchaporn and the gang Christmas week. Can't wait to tell them what I have done! Happy Holidays. Thank you again. And you can expect another order from me very soon. |
|

Mark, APO AE. I love the red rice and the big tea filter..... really super!! |
|
|
|
Joan, Owasso OK. Love the 8” granite mortar and pestle. Bought it for my son for Christmas. Excellent quality, fast shipping, very reasonable shipping rates. Many times I have not ordered a product because they
over charge for shipping. Great company, I’ll be back for quality gifts and those beautiful dishes that I want for myself. |
|
|
|
Joyann, Ironwood MI. All I can say is EXCELLENT!! The products and fast shipping were expectional. But the customer service was like NO OTHER I've ever experienced!! Fast replies to emails and willing to go above and beyond. A-One all the way. I promise I will be back! This site can not be beat. Thank you. |

Elaine, Mountlake Terrace WA. I recently ordered a Vietnamese coffee filter set and a can of Trung Nguyen Vietnamese coffee. I was happily surprised to receive it the next day, and have been enjoying it ever since. I will order a second set in the near future, and will happily do business with your company again. |
|
|
|
Darrell, Cathedral City CA. I just wanted to let you know that everything arrived and I could not be happier with the quality of the items. I took Thai cooking classes on my recent trip to Bangkok and will be cooking a Thai meal tomorrow night with the items you sent. I will certainly be using your services again. Again, my many THANKS |
|
|
|
Cindy, Chicago IL. The first I'd heard of your company was when I received a recipe by email last week. I checked out your web site, and found several items- especially fresh kaffir lime leaves and pickled radish- that I've had difficulty in obtaining even at local Asian markets. Less than a week after placing my order, I have all of my ingredients. Everything was well-packaged and arrived in impeccable condition. I am blown away by the quality of the products I received. I will be ordering again. And again...Thank you! |
|
|
|
Bill, Riverside IL. I wanted to let you know how very happy I am with the wok I recently purchased from your online store. It is truly a quality crafted item. At first I was hesitant because your price was so inexpensive. But I must admit it is a high quality, very attractive and effective utensil. The booklet you included with this item was also very helpful and easy to understand. Thank you for offering such a competitively priced high quality product. I could not possibly be happier with my purchase. |
|
|
|
Christine, Gaithersburg MD. I don't know if you like to know every now and again what customers do with some of your ingredients, but I tought I wouls share this one: I absolutely love steamed clams, but have found they are pretty unbelievable if you steam them with a couple of dollops of the tom yum paste...really fantastic and makes an elegant starter if accompanied by some sprigs of fresh lemon grass. |
|
|
|
Philip, Elkins WV. Arrived on time! We had a marvelous dinner party. It was a real hit. Thanks again for your help with the quick shipping. We hope to plan ahead a little better next time:) |
|
|
|
Randy, Atlanta GA. Just had to join the testimonial throng here, realizing I've picked up quite a few things from you. My big wok, mortar and pestle, my Vietnamese coffee sets, my kanom krok pan, etc. Fastest shipping around, super-well packed, and great recipes! Just made the Thai fried bananas for the kids; they loved 'em, and I felt like I was back on the streets of Bangkok. Also, just wanted to thank you for the tip on the Golden Abalone fish sauce - some might think six bucks a bottle is steep, but this is the first nam pla I enjoy from the spoon! Wow. |
|
|
|
Tracy, FPO. I can not believe it I have got my order today. My god that was quick for an FPO address, and I must say the way you wrap the goods is great. Thanks so much. I am going back to your web site now to look at stuff for my next order he he. |

Bradley, Woodburn OR. Deadheads usually decompose back to the soil. the act of deadheading a plant can give birth to new flowers. Usually the head is put in a vase for trying to prolong the life of look. Grateful Dead followers considered deadhead thanks to LSD and Tibetan/ Egyptian Books of the Dead. Mainly the action of seratonin/third eye; the chemical active during the process of dying to give the spiritual apsect to infinite, also activated by many chemicals synthesised and found in botanicals. Noone will truely understand the spiritual world if there is any that does not tye into the emotional stupor of the human being. Thank you for this mortar and pestle. Will be putting it to good use. Peace Love |

Brad, Midland TX. I have just tried the No. 1 Hand Brand red curry paste, and I am embarrased to say how much I ate last night. It is clearly superior to Mae Ploy, and the unit cost is about the same. The flavor is much fresher, brighter, and less grainy. The difference in complexity is like a $45.00 bottle of wine compared to a $14.00 bottle of wine. I also bought the green, and penang pastes, and cant wait to try them. The 8'' mortar and pestle I bought is such a great tool, and so much easier to use than the smaller ceramic ones, that now seem like a joke. Tra Chang fish sauce is definitely nicer and more refined than the Squid I was using. If you can't get Fresh Holy Basil for a dish like Chicken with Green Chili and Holy Basil, the Por Kwan Chili Paste with Holy Basil Leaves makes for a great substitute for the chilis and Holy Basil leaves. I acheived better than expected results using this, and my guests were wowed. I will submit the recipe if the owner wants it. The way your order is packed is excellent. By the way, the customer service I got whem I called was very informative and freindly. |
|
|
|
Noriko. Is there any place in your site I can put reviews about your Thai recipes? So far, I tried five recipes and all are great. |
|
|
|
Chuck, Gulfport MS. It is difficult to find thai ingrediants in MS, I ordered and I am thrill with the excellent products. Since I lived in Thailand for two years and fell in love witrh the food; I have been cooking it myself ever since and it is nice to find an outlet with all the components. Thanks again and you will be seeing me again. |
|
|
|
Nga, Houston TX. I've placed this order Saturday and received it today (Wednesday). That was super-fast delivery for the shipping & handling that you charge. Thank you. As the Thai's, in a Vietnamese kitchen, mortar and pestle is an everyday kitchen tool for a serious cook. You just don't know how long I've been searching for a heavy duty set. Thanks for a very informative website as well.
|

|
Jennifer, Westminster MD. I am always a bit skeptical of 'testimonial' sections, wondering if they are glowing comments crafted by the company or actual pleased customers. I am sooo happy to report that it seems your testimonials are accurate and I can join the throngs of pleased customers. Your prices are so reasonable it encourages me to experiment even more with authentic Thai recipes. Thanks again for great products and great shipping rates! |
|
|

Clara, TX. I just got my order of a tiffin carrier, a gift for my mom who loves curry, today and it looks fine quality, even my grandma wants to buy one for her own use. Thank you very much for this quality product.

Stacy, Somerville NJ. Just received my mortar and pestle today. It is absolutely gorgeous! I would have liked it just for use as an art piece let alone for use in the kitchen. I ordered it to crush up myssupplement tablets for easier and more thorough digestion. I had been using a coffee grinder but the tablets proved too much for it to grind causing it to wear out after a few months. The mortar and pestle is very thorough in pulverizing the tablets and takes very little time. The best part is that I do not have to worry about mechanical failure as I experienced with the other method. Expect more business coming your way as I will be telling everyone I know about this wonderful and AFFORDABLE product! |
|
|
|
Carla, Batavia NY. I recieved my most recent package as promptly as every other one since I began ordering with you a few years back. I've written before how happy we are to have found your company; we moved from Seattle 5 years ago and cant find supplies of quality Asian foods locally. My kids roll their eyes when your boxes arrive and say...'CURRY for dinner, right?!!' I surprised them this past order with Okonomiyaki/Japanese Pizza. It was fast, fun to do together and they ate it; even with the vegetables!! I would recommend your fresh produce to any other customer; quality is great even AFTER it crosses continents and then gets shipped across our country from you to me. Your customer service is excellent, and I will remain a loyal customer as long as you stay in business! |
|
|
|
David, Bainbridge WA. Received my order today, good time, and what a blast it was to open and unpack it. Yours is a class act. I'll be back many times -- no great volume, but a happy customer. Thanks. |
|
|
|
Chris, Coatesville PA. The flat-bottom wok is fantastic, the mortar and pestle is extremely good for grinding chiles as well as other spices and the sticky rice cooker reminds me of the desserts I had on my vacations in Thailand in both 2003 and 2004. The recipes are great and I really enjoy experimenting with them for a diverse taste. I cannot wait to experiment some more. Thanks again for being a respectable company and keep up the great work! Now if I could only find fresh Mangosteens! |

Claudette, Lakewood NJ. Just to let you know that the order arrived yesterday, wonderfully packed and each item was in perfect condition. I appreciate the care with which the order was handled. The ceramic dishes/spoons are exquisite and I will continue to add to my set, hopefully on a monthly basis, for a really complete table service. I think they are all really lovely and will add to the enjoyment of whatever food I serve in them. Thanks again and it certainly is good dealing with you. The items you feature of kitchenwares, food and other items leaves "no stone unturned" when it comes to having everything perfect when serving a Thai meal and makes it truly authentic. The porcelain dishes certainly add to this to a great extent.! Thanks again!!! |
|
|
|
Deb, Bayfield CO. I received my order in record time. One of the outer boxes had been squished a bit, but as the products are SO well-packed, there was no damage to any of the products. Awesome selection, amazingly fast delivery, and the shipping was less than it would have taken to drive to the nearest oriental store. I'll shop here again and again. |
|
|
|
Joy, Coalinga CA. Thanks for resending the product :) It was much better. I really appreciate you making this right :) I will definitely shop at your place any time I need these hard to find food. I can't wait to make my first new recipe. |
|
|
|
Heidi, Issaquah WA. Thanks so much for delivering my items in such a timely manner. Everything looks absolutely beautiful. I cannot wait to start cooking! Ps. I really appreciate the tips on-line about freezing the produce items as well. Much success to you.

Phyllis, Nipomo CA. After falling in love with Tom Ka soup at a local Thai restaurant, I found this site and ordered the Tom Kha paste - I've read a number of recipes for the soup, so have developed my version using the Tom Ka paste that is absolutely the best soup I have ever tasted - and I make it over and over. So thank you for this wonderful product, and for making me a true Thai food devotee. |
|
|
|
Donna, Rock Hill SC. I just had to let you know that I love your website. I received my order very quickly and the products are great. Thanks so much! I will definitely order from you again. |
|
|
|
DMR, Sun City CA. I received your products exactly as described and exactly when they were supposed to be here(Thai fresh produce, Tom Kha soup base, Thai iced tea) and I love them! Can't wait to make soup tonight with the fresh produce I got! Thanks!

Dr Masahiko Matsushita, Arlington Heights VA was so pleased with his purchase he wrote about it in his weekly Health Column for the Japanese American newspaper. |

Mandy, Rochester MN. I received my bubble tea kit just a couple of days ago and have been enjoying bubble tea since. Thank you! I also had the pleasure of making Thai Coffee Oleang via your directions and with the help of our local Asian food market. Very good stuff! Thank you

Tom, Dana Point CA. I would like to thank you for your role in letting our five man cooking group, called Men Who Cook (which I copied from my brother-in-laws group in St.Helena, CA) prepare our excellent Thai dinner. One other guy helped me immensely down the stretch, and another of our group did the Lychee cocktail. I bought rice bowls and a lot of little stuff from Pier One and Crate and Barrel, broke out the Thai bronze ware and had the table looking pretty cool. The recipes were excellent and everything I bought from you was right to the last detail. Your prompt service was much appreciated. That sticky rice with coconut milk and mangos was a killer, and was so good I am sure it is illegal somewhere. My wife snuck in at the last minute and enjoyed it also. |
|
|
|
Donna, Ninety Six SC. I would like send many thanks for the speedy order and the wonderful selection of thai foods. I am certainly going to order from you more often. |

Kimberly, La Peche Quebec. We just received our mortar and pestle today and are very pleased with it. Thank-you, it's absolutely beautiful! |
|

Liz, Mayfield KY. Just a word to tell you how very pleased I am with the merchandise received. Wonderful to know how great it is to get groceries that I cannot get locally. Dishes made with your items have been very good. Thanks! |
|
|
|
Charlie, Cincinnati OH. Thank you so very much. I got the ceramics today, all in beautiful condition. I really love them like I thought I would when I ordered them. You are a man of your word. I appreciate your help so very much. Please send your latest web site email so I can re-start my ordering again. I always had great service from your food item orders and have missed them. |
|
|
|
Carol, Los Angeles CA. Yesterday, I received the clay mortar with pestle! I love it! In the same order was the cleaver. Both are perfect. The cleaver has got to be the best I have ever had. It is light, sharp, ergonomic. I am so very happy with both of these items. Today I ordered your condiments, spices and chillies. Cannot wait for them to arrive. Would like to very much to have the stone mortar, however, with arthritis in hands, do not know if I can handle it. Thank you so much for being true to you word!
|

|
|
Deni, Eastpointe MI. Your selections are endless. You're the only place I can find kaffir lime leaves, out of season, that are fresh & wonderful! I give out your website to many specialty stores who can otherwise not meet the supply when demanded. |
|
|
|
Joan, Spring Valley CA. Your granite mortar & pestle is the third one I've bought -and the last! It's sturdy, 'bits' don't flake off when grinding, the shape is great - and it could probably be used as a weapon if necessary! Also appreciate the fresh Thai produce and your recipes. |
|
|
|
Stephen, GA. The replacement aluminum tray for the steamer which had been smashed in shipment arrived on Monday. I am perfectly satisfied with the order I received from you. Everything I got from you is good stuff. I guess it goes without saying, I am especially pleased with the 9 inch granite mortar and pestle. I have worked as a chef during a part of my life and though mortar and pestles are used less these days commercially, I have always used one at home. But the ones I have had were kind of in the class of being merely a toy compared to this wonderful granite mortar and pestle. Again, thanks for a high quality product in this day of make-believe. |
|
|
|
Andrew, San Diego CA. Thank you for being able to change my order so that I didn't have to pay the shipping for two separate orders. Your web site is well organized, the people I spoke with on the phone were courteous and helpful, and I got email confirmation every step along the way. I appreciate doing business with an organization such as yours. I recently moved to New Hampshire fromthe San Diego area, and will be buying regularly from you because I am on a raw food diet, and there are quite a few things I cannot find up here. Thank you again. |
|
|
|
Kent, Flushing MI. Received the replacement spoon you sent and wish to thank you. It's really great to know there are Internet Shops out there that believe in supporting their customers. I am impressed! I will continue checking your site and have signed up for your e-mail info. Again I really appreciate your help! |
|

Pat, Milton WA. Thank you for advising me of new products.....I am really enjoying the sauces, etc. I bought and the excellent delivery service....You are definitely on my buying list!!!!! |
|
|
|
Joan, Rancho Cucamonga CA. I love the 8" mortar and pestle I purchased from you! It's exactly what I was looking for. Just sent in my order for the sticky rice kit and am looking forward to receiving it. I am very impressed with the quality of your merchandise, and also with your prices and your customer service. Please, please don't change a thing and you will have a customer for life! |
|
|
|
Ann, Dallas, TX. Importfood.com has an awesome selection of spices and chile/curry pastes, with super-fast shipping! My favorite is the Massaman curry paste - try it with cashews instead of peanuts for a different taste! It is restaurant quality! |
|
|
|
Craig, Sandersville GA. I bought a mortar and pestle from you many months ago. The mortar and pestle was even better than I expected. |
|

Melissa, Wheeling, WV. I've placed several orders with your company, and I couldn't be happier with your products and service! I'm finally able to order everything I need to make the dishes we love! Thanks a million! |

I've had my 8" Mortar and Pestle for a few days now and I've got to say that, all things being equal, it is a match for - if not out-and-out superior to - my KitcheAid food processor. There's nothing like the taste of hand-prepped, old-fashioned home cooking! It will get two or three lifetimes of use in just mine - Never mind the lucky bugger that inherits it! Thanks. |

Michael, Evansville, IN. I just wanted to thank you so much for your products. It all arrived on time and in excellent condition as it was packed very carefully by you. There is no need to write me back as I just wanted to thank you. Your logo stamp is so neat and looks like an Exit Stamp on your passport when you leave Thailand, how imaginative. |

David, San Bruno, CA. How do you do it? I ordered two plates last week to see if my friends would like them for their wedding and they arrived the next day. My friends liked the plates, so I ordered enough for four settings yesterday (more to come at Christmas time, I think). It arrived today. You sure do specialize in good service. They will move to a new apartment on Saturday, so they will be able to start out right away with real plates. Thank you so much for helping make their first meal in their new house a good one.

Farrokh, Hillsbororough, NJ. Thanks for the curry pastes. The Penang curry was amazing! |
|
|
|
Andrew, Toronto Ontario. Many thanks for the fine Weapon of Mash Destruction received in the post today. I ordered your 8" Granite Mortar and Pestle, and it arrived by postal delivery with only a further fee of C$13.00 applied by Canada Post. It makes your postal service very competitive, and advantageous for cooking enthusiasts like me who prefer authentic cooking ingredients and utensils to get a genuine taste. I am an avid cook (I wouldn't use the term Chef), and have lived in Asia for 6 years, so my perference is always for authenticity.The mortar will prove indispensable in this regard. Many thanks. |
|
|
|
Freddy, Flemington, NJ. I've dealt with you as a customer for about a year for asian ingredients with great effect. I get a lot of questions about where I obtain high-end asian ingredients, and recommend your site. It's my pleasure to recommend your business in this fashion :)

Kathleen, MI. These items (Thai ceramic tableware) are beautiful! They are even nicer than I thought they would be. I am considering ordering some additional pieces. They remind us of our trip to Thailand and the wonderful ceramic items used there to serve fabulous Thai food. Thank you for offering such high quality products at such reasonable prices. Thank you, too, for the excellent packaging. Every piece came through in perfect condition. |
|
|
|
Josh, Prince Rupert BC. I just received the mortar and pestle today, after only 5 days shipping (Thur - Tue). Very fast! The mortar and pestle are in excellent condition, as promised. Not sure about duty costs as I have not received notification just yet, but I imagine it will be around $9 CDN. Thank you so much for selecting such a beautiful set! I can't wait to make use of it! |
|
|
|
Scott, Tuckerton, NJ. Having spent quite a bit of time spoiled on readily-available and authentic Thai food in both the Portland, OR area and the Boston area, I find myself currently living someplace with no Thai restaurants around under an hour drive. Lucky for me, I find your website, order some things, and find them easy to prepare. EXCELLENT quality on everything, and the food comes out just as I'd hoped. I'll most definitely be back for more in the future. Couldn't be more pleased. |
|
|
|
Connie, Newark, DE. I recently purchased the 8" Thai Granite Mortar & Pestle. I always thought a large Marble Mortar & Pestle would be my ultimate luxury. Much to my amazement, your Thai 8" is that and more - at a fraction of the cost. I've used it almost every day and don't know how I have survived without it.
|
|
|
|
Carol, Santa Fe, TX. I love your website and recipes and cooking ingredients! |
|
|
|
Linda, Ketchum, ID. WOW! I live in the middle of nowhere and am THRILLED to find every ingredient on my shopping list on your website and thensome! Everything arrived promptly. Am very pleased with the service, and I'm sure I'll be a return customer. Hope you stay in business! All the best, Linda
|

|
Gregory, San Antonio, TX. I just received the 6" mortar and pestle I previously ordered. I was so impressed with the quality I have decided to order the 8" size as well. |
|
|
|
John, Murrieta, CA. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the fantastic mortar & pestals that I ordered. I ordered a 8" for myself, then ordered two more 8"& one 6" for gifts. I liked the 6" so much that I kept it for myself. I guess I will have to order more... The quality is superb, and the items were shipped out quickly and packed very well. I will recommend your company to all my friends, and needless to say you have a customer for life! Thanks again for the great service. |
|
|
|
Angel, Lansing, IL. You now have a customer for life. Your site and the recipes are wonderful. I love Thai food and it's nice to have some wair I can get every thing I need at incredible prices... |

Beverly, TX. We received the goods and are pleased. Have already served cold boiled shrimp to guests on the fish platter. I think I would like to order 6 sets (2 each) of the 24 oz bowls. |
|
|
|
Cindy, Woodstock, GA. Jerry and Yaowalak- Just a quick note to say thanks for the wonderful Thai recipes and ingredients. ImportFood.com is high on my list in terms of quality and service. I have loved Thai food for years but have never been brave enough to track down the details and try it at home. Finding your site gave me an excuse to have a real cooking adventure! All arrived on time and in great shape (your care in packing is much appreciated). A friend and I spent the afternoon chopping and grinding and had a wonderful dinner that tasted as good (if not better) than what I've had in restaurants. It was also a real treat for me to have authentic iced Thai coffee - following your instructions (with the filter) did the trick! I am sure I will be ordering again, but I wanted to let you know that your efforts are much appreciated! Best of luck to both of you... |
|
|
|
Art K, WA. I recently bought the bowls as a gift for my parents. They love them! Soon after my sister saw them... and had to have them too. So sure enough its on her Christmas list this year.. This is a great operation. Great quality food, good service, and excellent recipes. Oh, and if you ever have a question let them know, they love to help! |
|
|
|
Ken E, LA. We like the (ceramic) bowls. They are the right shape, nicely heavy duty, and look nice. |
|
|
|
Romina, CA. I was worried that something would be damaged on its way to my house - and I have a gate down my driveway that keeps everyone out .... including the postman. So, what normally happens, is that they drop it over the gate and something always breaks. But, nothing broke. In fact, I am very excited about my new set of Thai plates and serving dishes. They are really great - the glaze is beautiful, the color is perfect .... I really will use a lot of these. |
|
|
|
Carol, D.C.. Received the order below and the ceramic items were wonderful. I am very happy with them. They arrived in perfect condition. I've already used them for a party. The quality with the overall appearance, glaze, weight, design, etc. were perfect. A friend was visiting and she really liked them as well. The price was excellent. I hope you add some more options for ceramic ware to your site, in the future. |
|

Diane O, New York, NY. I live in NYC you'd think it would be easy to find galangal? NOOOO. But you have put together a wonderful web site. Thanks...just put in my first order. |
|

David M, PA. I have been shopping from your site for a little over a year now and I can truly say, your site has completely changed the way I cook - for the better. |

Rebecca S, APO/Japan. I was writing to tell you how happy I am with your company. I recently ordered some Rice Stick and the Sticky rice steamer with the basket. I am military stationed in Okinawa and my order was placed on the 8 th of January and sent out on the 15th and received here on the 19th. I have rarely seen any packages from any on line retailers this quick. I have recommended your web site to all my friends and co workers. I recently made Pad Thai (from your recipe of course) and brought it to work. Everyone LOVED IT!!!! and now I have a quality source on line to order from and no longer have to inconvience my family to shop and send me and Thai speciality foods I want or need. Thanks again for the GREAT SERVICE. |

Bill R, MN. My compliments on your excellent web site! It is very easy to use and I expect to be placing an order in the near future. I enjoy Thai food at the local restaurants here in Eagan, Minnesota and it is a pleasure to learn more about how these dishes are prepared. |
|
|
|
Sharee R, KY. I placed my first order with your company this month and was delighted with my order. Everything was so carefully wrapped and not a single item was damaged. I love your website and the recipes are so inspiring. I am giving a Thai dinner party on Saturday and am excited to use my exotic ingredients. One question please; what is the best method for reconstituting the dry rice paper so that it is pliable? I want to make spring rolls and have considered simply soaking the sheets in water but thought I would check with you first. I shall be giving your web address to many friends and I want to thank you for providing such great products with wonderful service |
|
|
|
Debbie C, NJ. Just wanted to say "thanks" for getting my order here so quickly. I'm planning a Thai dinner this week-end and couldn't do it without these ingredients. I know it wasn't your largest order, but I appreciate your attention and communication. I have you bookmarked, so I know you'll be hearing from me again! |
|
|
|
LW, Boise, ID. I just received my order. I was very impressed with the speed in which I receive the order. The order was packed very well. and your site looks great. Love the recipe section. Working for a cataloger with a web site I tend to be a pretty picky customer. You have excellent customer service and very speedy delivery. I will be back and have sent the link to all my friends. |
|
|
|
Allison, Duncan BC. Good evening, I just wanted to let you know I received my Mortar & Pestle, and I LOVE IT !!!!, It is so nice, and better than what I expected. I have had quite a few friends compliment on it and asking where I got it from, as they have not seen anything like it in the stores in BC Canada. I have also passed along you e-mail address to a couple people so I'm hoping you will here from them. I will look at your web site in the future to see if there are any other things I would be interested in. |
|
|
|
William M, Washington DC. I am a big fan of your site, both food and recipes. Your fishcake recipe was especially tasty. Would you share a steamed mussels recipe, maybe one involving a spicy curry/coconut broth? And in general, more recipes! I can tell you, they keep me coming back. |
|
|
|
Joe M, Portland OR. Thank you very much for your speedy response. I also ordered some of the Thai Iced Tea. It is wonderful!! And so easy to make. I will return to your site when I run out and to shop for more exquisite foods. |
|
|
|
Richard P, San Diego CA. We too lived in BKK for several years, returning to the US in 92. You have a great site and offer a good cross section of traditional Thai ingredients. As a matter of fact we received our first order from you today and other than a dented khao neow steamer, everything was as expected. Thanks. |
|
|
|
Rebecca, Augusta GA. Thank-you so much for the excellent service. Great stuff. Looking forward to a long and satisfying relationship! |
|
|
|
Tom, Erie, PA. The Thai stone mortar & pestle arrived and is wonderful. It is a heavy bugger and would be hard to break without a sledgehammer, in fact you could market it as a combination kitchen and home security device. Thanks for great service. |
|
|
|
Elaine, Fond du Lac, WI. Your product was exceptional! I'm sure my daughter-in-law will love it! You truly have nice merchandise. |
|
|
|
Iris, Middletown, NY. My order arrived in time and very well packaged. It was a pleasure doing business with you. Thank you again |
|
|
|
Niall, Skokie, IL. I am *very* happy with the mortar and pestle. The quality and finish is excellent - even better than I expected |
|
|
|
Jeanean, San Jose, CA. I just wanted you to know that my giant mortar & pestle arrived this morning and it's wonderful. I'm sure the large model that I got is the same one Jamie Oliver, the Naked Chef, uses. If you have a chance to look at his cookbook the one he uses is pictured on page 192. Thank you for sending it so promptly. My friend will be ordering one from you soon. |
|
|
|
Whitney, Gainesville, FL. I stumbled upon your website, and boy is it awesome. Your prices are fantastic, and the selection of authentic ingredients can't be beat. I just bought half the amount of food for double the price at my local grocer, and who knows how long it has been on the shelf. I can't wait to place more orders. Thanks!!!!! |
|
|
|
Kathy, Fort Worth, TX. Thanks! It (mortar and pestle) arrived today and is exactly what I was looking for. It will make a great Christmas present for my amateur chef dad. |
|
|
|
Margot, Juneau, AK. Our order arrived today. Thank you for checking on it when I asked. I need to learn more about Thai cooking and use your good service. |
|
|
|
Danny, NYC. Ok so I'm a guy and I should have no use for a ceramic tea set, right? Well, no. My girlfriend thinks tea in bed is just about the greatest thing in the world. Unfortunately, making her happy involved tea served in an "America's Most Wanted" mug (garage sale, 25-cents). Anyway, I figured I'd actually break down and buy something nice. How nice was the tea set? Not only was it packed perfectly and shipped quickly, it was so beautiful that my girlfriend took it home. Thanks guys, you're the best |
|
|
|
Jill, Cumming, GA. I am very pleased with ImportFood.com. I emailed the company, several ocassions with questions regarding Thai food products. They responded quickly and very informative. My products arrived in execellent condition and within ample time. |
|
|
|
Tim, Circleville, OH. This is absolutely the best site that I have found!! The variety is outstanding. Thai cooking is my passion! I was stationed in Thailand at Udorn Royal Thai Airforce Base which is in northern Thailand. I wish I could find a recipe for koapot(sp). I lived on the rice in banana leaves and purchased it downtown Udorn. I truly miss that Country and the people! This was back in 1970. |
|
|
|
Jerry, OH. Recieved order. Very prompt. Enjoying the sticky rice recipes. Keep up the great site |
|
|
|
Renee, WI. It was hard to find sticky rice and basket where I live, I am very impressed with site and plan to be faithful. |
|
|
|
Sue, Reston VA. Great products, I can always find just what I am looking for. Great recipes too. I love eating at Tara Thai in Vienna, Va, and wanted to make a dish they serve there. Only place I could find an authentic recipe was at this site-it was an exact replica! Thanks! |
|
|
|
Antony, NYC. Fresh produce arrived OK: quality is excellent. |

Alicia, online. I got the mortar and pestle today. I am so pleased it is way better than the picture. |
|
|
|
Christine, Kihei, HI. We initially bought a set of the ceramic soup spoons. We just HAD to have the matching soup bowls when we saw how beautiful they were! When the soup bowls arrived, we were even more pleased. Their size and shape are perfect and we get compliments galore! We intend to keep adding to our set. Thank you for the lovely selection, quality products, and prompt service. |
|
|

Tania, Rock Springs, WY. I want to thank you very much for the excellent and speedy service and also personal attention, that importfood.com have provided to their customers. It is always a pleasure shopping at your store! |
|
|
|
Theresa, Mammoth Lakes, CA. Thanks Jerry for the e-mail. We did get the first order, still waiting on the thai ice tea, but I have notified the post office and it should be there Monday. We are in a cooking club and had a Thai party last night. All worked out because another guest brought Thai iced tea and it was great. All the food was fantastic, the rest of the group was in awe of our dinner and said it would be hard to beat. Thanks for the great customer service, your awesome. |
|
|
|
Marion, Catawissa, PA. I received my order in very good shape - carefully packaged. I am now enjoying your fine products. |
|
|
|
Meaw, Evergreen, NY. I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA FOR ORDER THE FOOD OR THE STUFF FROM THE WEB SITE AND IT'S EASY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO CAN'T FIND THE PRODUCT FROM THE MARKET. I AM FROM THAILAND I KNOW HOW HARD WHEN YOU WANT TO BUY THE STUFF FOR COOKING SOMETHING AND YOU CAN'T HOW YOU FEEL. |
|
|
|
Mike, Glendale Hts, IL. I wanted to let you know that I am more than satisfied with the quality of your merchandise, and the prices are fantastic. Have you considered offering dried shrimp? I make a lot of what I consider "quick soups" and dried ingredients like shrimp are very handy. I am really enjoying the hand painted ceramic serving ware. Keep it up. |
|
|
|
Steve, Yorktown, VA. I recently ordered thai tea from you folks and am thoroughly impressed!! My wife and I love thai food as well as what your web site has to offer. You can count on more orders from us in the future. Thanks and keep up the good work! |
|
|
|
Dave, NYC. (posted on chowhound.com message board May 08, 2004 at 00:40:13). My latest fave is http://importfood.com/ and I like it for the same reason that Fluff likes tienda.com. It's a one-stop location for all things related to Thai cooking, including recipes, equipment (want a sticky rice steamer or a Thai mortar and pestle?), staples (bags of rice), canned/packaged sauces, and the raw ingredient to cook from scratch. Prices are good and shipping is cheap . |
|
|
|
Lara, NYC. Thank you so much for your prompt reply (and on a Saturday, no less!): it's important to keep on top of one's kitchenware, so the tracking number will be most useful. I look forward to spending more dough at ImportFood in the very near future. |
|
|
|
Lindy, Shelton, WA. THANK YOU... WE LOVE YOUR STICKY RICE. |
|
|
|
Keith, Healdsburg, CA. Thank you for the swift response. I'd like to add that the quality of the packaging and the condition of the items I did receive was superb. I will be shopping at Importfood.com in future. |
|
|
|
Bianca, Adelaide, Australia. Your very informative site saved me in a time of crisis, a truly fantastic site with all the recipes i needed for a fantastic THAI dinner party. |
|
|
|
Peggy, Sacramento, CA. Add me to your growing list of admiring and appreciative customers. I was so pleased when I first visited your site that I ordered that very day (Feb.24). I received all in beautiful conditon on March 4! Everything about your operation is absolutely the best! I spent some time in Bangkok in the mid-80's and again 10 years later in Northern Thailand. I've been hooked on Thai food ever since, so Thanks for helping me cook my favorites at home. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
Dave, Kelowna, British Columbia. Murphy's Law # 1023 (?)- of course the delivery arrived today after having sent you an email yesterday! But, on the other hand, the corollary of Murphy's Law would indicate that if I had not sent the email, it would not have shown up today! Thanks again, everything looks great! |
|
|
|
Troy, St Anthony, ID. Thank you for the note. It's nice to have that kind of personal attention. I look forward to getting my order and am sure that it won't be my last. I love Thai food and it's nearly impossible to get here. |
|

Glenda, Sunnyvale, CA. I stumbled on your web site searching for a mortar and pestle, and was just thrilled with it! You have everything anyone could want for cooking AND serving Thai food.

James, Richmond, KY. This site is nothing short of OUTSTANDING!! The oranization, the selection, the quality and prices are all amazing. I have placed two separate orders from you this week alone, and have no doubt I'll be ordering more as time goes on. |

Meredith, Denver, CO. You guys are great! I didn't expect you to mail me the invoice for the order I placed as a gift, but you did. As long as I'm writing, I did some comparison-shopping before I bought your mortar & pestle. I'm very impressed with your company. Thank you so much! |

Emily, Edmonds, WA. Your company has been an absolute dream to work with. You should be commended for that. SO many companies these days do their work with the ever-growning mentality of "fast business." Move em in, move em out. I feel like I've been able to work one on one with someone regarding the mortar and pestle stuff, as opposed to some unknown at the other end of the computer. So, thank you. A few days after we shipped her order of three mortar/pestles (one each, 6", 8", 9") she sent us this picture from her home, and another note of thanks. Thank you Emily, glad you're happy! |

John, Banning, CA. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the fantastic mortar & pestals that I ordered. I ordered a 8" for myself, then ordered two more 8" & one 6" for gifts. I liked the 6" so much that I kept it for myself. I guess I will have to order more... The quality is superb, and the items were shipped out quickly and packed very well. I will recommend your company to all my friends, and needless to say you have a customer for life! Thanks again for the great service. |

Linda, Kingsport, TN. Thank you for your great service and wonderful website. I am truly enjoying my Thai cooking experiences. What tremendous sensations cooking, serving and eating Thai creates with overwhelming taste, smell and texture. I have served supper to my family and friends on numerous occasions with great success since I started ordering from Import Food. It can only be credited to your recipes, wonderful food products and terrific Thai ceramics which have enabled me, a Tennessee "hillbilly", to become a "Thai chef"! Long live Import Food! (That is her second testimonial). |

Thomas, Portland, OR. You are right, it really is a nice mortar & pestle. The weight of the pestle makes it so much easier to pound ingredients into a curry paste! |

Dave, Wayzata, MN. Wanted to let you know that I just received my 8" mortar and pestle, used the first time, and it was marvelous. So solid, it made the work go fast. Also wanted to let you know that quite by acident I found out this weekend that Su-Mei You (Author of Cracking the Coconut) seems to be using the the large one. http://www.sumeiyu.com/pounding.htm. Thanks for a great product. |

Kate, Orono, ME. I stumbled across Importfood.com in my never ending quest for the best (and proper) ingredients for the curries (red, jungle, green) that I enjoy trying to make. I will definitely advise friends and family - they have heard me raving about your site since I purchased my own kaffir leaves (and some really nice-priced lemongrass) a couple of months ago. |

Elizabeth, Boone, NC. I am really impressed with the excellent quality and versatility of the Thai food-tiffin! And thank you for the exceptional service when I called, and also for the speedy response to my order. Everything was perfect! |

Don, online. I am American born Europe background. I want to say thanks for the input of all your good recipes. I have been to Main Land China 5 times and well as many Asian Countries. One thing I have found out is that the Chinese and some of the Asian Countries is that they cook and make the best food in the world. I guess it is the 5 thousand years of knowledge. I have many friends in these countries and I have sent your site to them. Thanks again |

Ann, Toronto Canada. My mortar and pestle just arrived!!! It is absolutley perfect!! I thought I would let you know that the duty that was charged was $9 CDN which is about $6 US which isn't bad... although it is just another tax that we lucky Canadians have to pay!!! Many thanks for all of your help! Cheers! |

Rita, Prattville, AL. The stone mortar and pestle is awesome. We have used it quite alot and have had great results and many super comments on the food. The m&p itself has also received quite a few compliments. |
|

Lori, Cedar Hill, TX. Good news! The products arrived yesterday in excellent condition. Thanks so much for your personal attention to this order. As I mentioned before, the high quality of customer service, such as you've provided, speaks well of your company. I very much appreciate the customer service I received.

Carol-Ann, Lloydminster, Alberta. Just to let you know that the mortar and pestle arrived yesterday and I just picked it up at the post office. Geez that's a heavy sucker! I unpackaged it all and it looks fabulous! I can't wait to make my first curry sauce! Thanks again! I shall enjoy many years of using my new toy! And it was only $9.26 in duties to import it into Canada. It's the $US to $CDN conversion that scares me - but whatever! |
|
|
|
Craig, Niles OH. Thanks very much. It all worked out great. We already made the sticky rice, and it was fabulous. (We visited Thailand in October,
and ours was almost as good as theirs.) Customer service like yours is not common. We'll be ordering more food soon. |
|

Deeb, Buena Park CA. Couldn't resist writing you to tell you how much I appreciate your company. You have delicious products and your packaging is unbelievable! I do 90% of my shopping online (for medical reasons) and your packaging is by far the neatest and most efficient I have seen! Never a spilled or broken container :).

Duncan, Overland Park KS. The Prik Thai arrived today and was put to immediate use. Thank you for sending it. Also the Maxchup Thai ketchup is very good. It knocks the french right out of fries. A real winner. |

Julie, Atlanta GA. Thank you for your quick response and the information regarding the wok. I will be on the lookout for the booklet.

Lindsay, Enid OK. Hi - I just wanted to applaude you on your outstanding service. I placed an order on Sunday evening and my box arrived Wednesday morning! And everything was packed amazingly. You guys do a better job than professional movers. Not a single noodle was broken, and you wrapped the sauce so well, it case it had broke it would not have leaked all over! My husband and I are currently (and temporarily, thank god) living in the midwest and miss all the culinary diversity we used to have when we lived on the west coast. So thank you for providing it, and doing it so well. I order tons of things of the internet from clothes, to tables to electronics ect. And I have never received a shipment this quickly! I will definetly buy from you guys again! Thank you! |

Donna, Deptford NJ. I have never in my life received any items so carefully and wonderfully packaged for shipment. The items arrived quickly too. It is a joy that I was able to find the seasoning that I grew up on and learned to love after searching for it for years in my local markets. THANK YOU SO MUCH! |
|
|

Jim, Wapakoneta OH. Thank you very much for your wonderful products. We appreciate that you send us so many updates and recipes. I could only wish that all companies could be as "caring" of their cuctomers as you are. As I'm sure you know, it is all about making sure that your customers are satisfied with your product......you have marketed your products well, at a decent price and a very good "friendly" marketing strategy. Keep up the good work with a good product,and a great 'corporate personna". Best of Luck... I'm passing your good products on to my friends, Thank You. |

Anne, Spokane WA. Having recently discovered the amazing taste of thai ice tea, I knew I'd have to make my own! I stopped by the local thai shop and discovered that they buy your brand of tea! I immediately ran home and ordered my own! After receiving the package, and making my first batch of tea, I am happier than I could have ever hoped! The tea is perfect, and you will most definitely be getting repeat business from me! thanks again! |

Rosa, Chicago IL. Hi, just wanted to let you know that I've enjoyed your products so, so much!! I've already ordered twice, and I've been very happy with everything. I've ordered ingredients for the Pad Thai and the Tom Yum soup. My husband and I love it! Everything tastes just like the Thai restaurant we go to! (Well, my husband says it tastes BETTER than the Thai restaurant we go to.) :-) |

Mark, Gaithersburg MD. I'm happy to receive the egg noodle type this time but I would like to try the other, so if you could let me know when you get some in that would be great. You really do have an excellent site. There is a large Asian supermarket very near to where I live but I prefer to shop at import food for most things because they never seem to carry the brands and selection of Thai food that importfood.com does. I wish you every success in the world and congratulate you on an excellent service. |
|
|
|
Dottie, Paradise CA. I can't praise your company and products enough. I bought the sticky rice set and will use it today. I love the bin bin rice crackers and the instant fried rice. Friends have been referred to you, and I am a customer for life. Thank you. |
|
|
|
Sara, Prairieville LA. It's really great to deal with a company that not only has "customer service" but actually excels in service. My daughter is totally in disbelief that you just sent a replacement order before receiving a reply/response from us. You certainly know the value of customer satisfaction and as a result, we will both be spreading the word. Gretchen will be shopping at ImportFood.com in person very soon. Thanks again for going the extra mile. You guys are great! I love your newsletter and recipes, too. |

Ric, Des Moines WA. Received the mortar and pestle and absolutely love it,,,,made the classic Basil Pesto last night with noodles,,,best I've ever had. I believe it is true that this machine" gets the essential oils out of the vegetable products, better than anything I've ever used, and my guest agreed. It's all in the taste, and that's the proof. Additionally we made a simple salsa for appetizer, with the same great results. You can use the mortar as a great presentation piece for salsas/sauces also; just wipe the top and sides as needed,,,almost looks Mayan, and how fitting that is. Also appreciate the excellent customer service from your company. |

Christine, Gaithersburg MD. I just love my new pro-slice Thai peeler...it is amazing!!!! Although I have trouble finding green papaya around here, I use it to shred not quite ripe mangos and make a similar salad to "Som Tum." It is quite good and I would have never thought to do it without the peeler! Thanks! |
|
|
 |
Hans, Uppsala Sweden. Importfood is a quality company. They managed to get a shipment over from the US to Sweden, EU, in under a week using USPS Intl. Air Parcel. I am deeply impressed. Also, the contacts were quick and helpful. For you Swedes out there: "Bra ställe att handla på, fraktpriserna är helt OK. Beställ en hel laddning med saker du du är på gång. |
|
|
|
Leah, Philadelphia PA. Just wanted to let you know that we did receive the mortar and pestle on 12/24. Perfect timing! My husband loved the gift. Thanks again for everything. We will continue to order thru you!
|
|
|
|
Ted, Chester VA. The produce that I ordered awhile back arrived fresh and unharmed and included the highest quality galangal and kaffir lime leaves I have ever found, even in a bustling Asian market. You and your site are at the top of my favorites list... Thanks very much. |
|
|
|
Paul, Bozeman MT. I just wanted to share with you that I just cooked your Masaman curry recipe, and I absolutely loved it. I have been trying to cook Thai ever since spending a few weeks backpacking through Thailand in 2000, I even took a cooking class there. But I have not cooked anything so wonderful and authentic tasting until I got your authentic ingredients and cooked with your recipe. The curry was totally restaurant quality, the blends of spices totally soothing to the palate. |
