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. We use them to make Tom Yum soup....it made the soup fabulous, I just ordered more, can't wait to recieve them in the mail. Thank you for having such wonderful fresh produce! |

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!. |

Dennis, Valdez AK. I'm delighted with my order and your good service. I shared your website with friends here in Alaska. I'm going to order again soon. |

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 todays 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. |

 |
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, Ill 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! |

Jeff, Toronto, ON. 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.

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! |

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... |

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. |

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. |

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. |
|

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 |
