Jon, Buckhannon WV. I love shopping here......I tried putting my fresh Thai Basil in a vase on a sunny window sill and it worked great......My basil lasted about 2 months......I was very happy. |

Rhiannon, IN. Many years ago I discovered you to be about the only place to carry not instant Thai tea, but the kind that you actually had to brew. I've moved around a lot and am fairly poor, but by heavens at least once every year (and a couple years twice a year!) I order the three for 12 or so bucks of the brewed thai tea that you carry, I practically live on this stuff, and it is very forgiving regarding brewing, I can't always do it like you instruct, but I have found a number of ways I can fix it and it's ALWAYS good.
I'm living near my mother again and I recently took some down for her to try, she loves iced tea in the summer. It's going on winter her now but I suspect when I order my next batch of Thai tea I'll be ordering extra, because she liked it very much, I was scolded for not having introduced it to her during "iced tea season"! (why it's only summer for her I don't know, it's all year round for me!)
Thank you for continuing to carry this product all this time, for having it a reasonable price...please don't ever drop it from your inventory. Thanks to it I've also occasionally ordered other items here and there to experiment with and get to enjoy a wider variety of flavors and cooking experiences. You folks are wonderful.

Sally, Henderson, NV. I've ordered so many things from you and I'm ashamed to say I don't know how to get started. I love to stir fry but hope to learn more about the Thai food. I do love the Szechuan peppercorn and use it quite a bit. My order always comes so quickly and no breakage with your excellent packing. I'm going to see about a class in Thai cooking. |

Marc, Switzerland. Great quality great price! Fast and friendly service! If you order from europe they ask you if you want to pay the high shipping costs or cancle the order, that's service! Can't wait for my first selfmade thai ice tea!!! |

Wade, Dallas NC. Found your site last week and got my first order delivered this week. I am more than pleased with the selection (especially the wide rice noodles!) and quality that you offer. The street vendor videos are great. Thanks so much! |

Andy, Missouri. Just submitting a testimonial. I ordered the tao cooker a couple weeks ago, and love it! So far we've used it for steaks and stir fry, and have also found that it works well for making s'mores as the coals are dying down (you can also warm your hands over it while making s'mores). It uses much less charcoal than a traditional grill, and it's easy to get the charcoal started without lighter fluid. I just use a bit of paper and some twigs from the yard, then throw the coal on. Overall, a great way to cook and a lot of fun to use. Thanks! |

Gringo, Murrieta, CA. You guys rock. Everything I've ordered has been spot on and delivered quickly. Your mortar and pestle are the best along with your wok and tools. Highly recommend you guys to everyone I know. Thanks again. |
|
|
 |
Mike, Northlake, IL. I have never regretted buying your nine inch mortar six years ago. I glued a piece of rubber anti slip mesh to the bottom. It allows me to use the mortar on any surface without a towel and keeps it in place too! |

Tammy T, Warnerville, CA. I made Massaman curry last night. All I can say is OMG.... what a wonderful dish. I went by the recipe on the video. The combo of sweet and spicy is remarkable. I used chicken breast cut into bit size pieces. And because I love cardamom so much, I added that and the bay leaves also. I just served it on white rice. This is my new favorite meal. Thanks for the email making me aware of the wonderful Massaman Curry Paste. |

Alec, Portland, ME. The mortar and pestle's carried at importfoods are probably the best deal around. the 8 inch is perfect for my home use but ill probably still buy a 6 and 9 inch version because there so nice. The knives are my next everyone must own a set from this site item. cant compare to a 200 dollar shun, but for 10 bucks or less a knife there incredible. |

Loretta, Maine. I've never see any site that had soooo many great testimonials as ImportFood and you deserve every single one of them -- and more! Of course, most people never take the time to make a comment after ordering something (unless it's a complaint) so this just goes to show how great of a company ImportFood really is. I appreciate all of the time you put into your website to give us recipes and tell us stories, and keeping us up to date on the health properties of certain foods. I am especially touched by what you did to help the victims of the earthquake in Japan. I was not online during that week so I didn't get to to donate through ImportFood, but I want you to know how impressed I am with the kindness, generosity, and the care that goes into your website. Not only do you provide fantastic Thai foods and exotic recipes for all to enjoy.,, you also bring the human element of Asia closer to the US. Some websites seem like they're being run by robots (and they may be! HA!) but clearly ImportFood is run by humans with big hearts! (P.S Love you foods too, but that goes without saying) |

Jeff, Lowell MI. What can I say. We received our GREEN papaya and herbs on Thursday and immediately got down to work. The som tam I made was the best I have had since my wife and I were in Thailand in 2000. And you just can't make proper Tom Kha Gai without Kaffir lime leaves. Our entire weekly household menu is going to be THAI,THAI,THAI. Without the best ingredients, that you provide it wouldn't be possible. Krab koon mach krab! |

Simon, Alberta, Canada. Just wanted to say thanks so much for my 7" granite mortar and pestle. I came in the mail today and is truly awesome. The service was great, shipping was fast, and the product second to none. |

Michael, Eugene OR. You guys are the absolute bomb! I shop a lot on the web, and you have one of the best operations going - customer service on the phone, ordering from the website, fast shipping, nice packaging - all outstanding. Consider me a customer for life. Thanks! |

Jaya, Taos, NM. Oh my goodness!!!! I just got my first order from you and I am in HEAVEN. It came on time, was wonderfully well packed, and opening it all was like being a kid on Christmas morning! And now I am eating the Tom Yum Soup I got, with some coconut milk added to it, and I could not be happier. I'm really looking forward to trying the spices and other ingredients I've gotten. What delicious fun! I will definitely be placing more orders with you. THANKS VERY MUCH!! |
|

B.C. Midland TX. The aroy d coconut milk in a box makes the best icecream you ever tasted. And having no preservatives makes it even better! |

Brad & Iris, Minot ND. Thank you for the complete shipment of this order, which arrived today. The packaging was very well done, and the highlighted and signatured packaging checklist showed the great care that your staff put into the mailing. |

Tifaine, Bridgewater NJ. I just received my granite mortar pestle with a fast and efficient delivery. I'm looking forward to try the thai recipes I received at a cooking class I took in Thailand. This tool will help a lot. Thanks! |

Joseph, West Haverstraw NY. I received my order yesterday and was very excited to start my journey into authentic Thai cooking. I was very impressed by how everything was packed and how fresh everything was. |
|
|
 |
Glena, Battle Creek MI. Had been trying to cook Thai without the right ingredients for some time. Finding your site and so many great recipes, and products has been a taste treat since the day I got my shipment! I'll be ordering again soon. Thanks! Many thanks for the order of Thai Basil. It just arrived and is in perfect condition! Sincere thanks! |

Maria, Dumfries VA. I hope that you are awake and happy. My sweet chili did not last too long. My son came for visit for Mother's Day and he took it. I am going to have to order three this time, so I can get at least one for myself. My whole family will be back next month for another visit. We used the curry that I bought the time before at my combination birthday party and Mother's Day. It was absolutely delicious. I gave all the people there your web site. I hope that they will visit and buy instead of shopping out of my kitchen cabinets. I also gave your web site to some of the customers that come to the drug store. |

Bill, Salmon ID. Just to let you know, like always my order of oyster sauce & chile sauce arrived today. all was in great shape. thank you for your great service!! |

Stan, Kingsport TN. Just wanted to let you know that I made Tom Khaa Gai, using shrimp instead of chicken, for my daughter and son-in-law who lived in Cambodia and traveled with me in Thailand. I used the lime leaf powder and the kaffir limes you sent and the result was wonderful. Absolutely the best I have made (I have been modifying the recipe over time and think I have found the one that is right for us - like that I had in Phuket), and just makes me want to try again with lime leaves. Thanks for the substitution - it worked great. I'll be ordering kaffir lime leaves soon. |
|
|
 |
Thayer, Whihtewater WI. You guys are the best-I got my stuff today and it looks great. The basil is particularly beautiful. I ordered from you once before a couple years ago and was equally impressed last time. Keep up the great work. |
|
|
 |
Erich, Madison WI. Thank you! The Kaffir lime leaves are as fresh as can be. I look foward to doing bussines with you in the future. |

Paul, Fort Collins CO. I used to live in Thailand myself but had never heard of Zebra (I'm talking over ten years ago) at that time. I am actually a fan of Zebra pens, which I believe to be from the same producers. I came across Zebra several years back in Milwaukee of all places. My wife and I were just on a day out and found am oriental spice store which sold the turners.
I am the kind of person that likes to buy something once. I remember a story about people in England a hundred years ago buying shoes - it cost 1 shilling for a pair of cardboard shoes that lasted a year, or three shillings for shoes that lasted 5 years. OK, strange story but it's always stuck with me when buying kitchen products and I have a feeling you might get my point.
Personally I find Zebra utensils laughably cheap for what you get, please don't under-sell them! Be confident in these products. I would pay three times what they sell for and be happy. I think professionals in the trade would too. Thailand makes some quality products these days (We still have Swing-line staplers, Mag-light and Zippo's). I cannot wait for these to arrive, some are Mothers day gifts. Thank you again, I wish you all the best of success. I will recommend your website to all I know. |

Jan, Vega TX. I was so pleased and impressed with my first order last week that I immediately placed another order which I received today. You can't beat the quality, prices, amazing packing, and speed of delivery anywhere. (I waited 2 weeks for a single spatula from Amazon!) Thank you, thank you for making these wonderful ingredients available to anyone anywhere...this is exactly what online shopping should be! |
|

Michael, Carrum Australia. The mortar and pestle arrived yesterday and was immediately pressed into service! Absolutely love it. Thanks for a wonderful product. We hope it will be a conversation piece among our friends! Regards, Michael and Sophia. |

Guadalupe, Brooklyn NY. I am so happy to received the order of mortar and pestle so fast. thanks for your great service. |

Jeremiah, DPO. Many thanks for the great products. Your shipping and packaging was excellent. All items arrived in great condition. Your mail order products are indispensable at our location since we live in an "Asian Products" void. Anyway, thanks for the great packaging and the care you take in shipping your products. Look forÊanother order from us soon! |

Jack, Lake Elsinore CA. will you be getting any Tao Charcoal Burners in the near future? i am really wanting to give it a try. thanks again for everything i have already received from your website. |

Charles, Mamaroneck NY. My Kaffir lime leaves arrived 4 days after ordering. I'm impressed! Your site is fantastic and it is great to know that my impossible to find ingredients are only a click away. Thank you so much!
Thank you for sending your good article about Piper sarmentosum, the leaf used to wrap miang kham. I'm pleased that you are using genus & species names for some of the plants. Please add genus & species Piper betle, the leaf used to CHEW betle nut. The Thais I meet in the Kingdom say only Piper betle leaf is used for chewing nuts of the betle palm (Areca catechu). I have never seen the Piper betle leaf used to wrap miang kham but perhaps I should try it sometime. Your WWW site and photos are excellent. Thank you for presenting such interesting material about Thai foods & culture. |

JoAnne, Algonquin IL. I wanted to thank you for the awesome mortar and pestle. It's so beautiful I almost forget that it's practical too. I especially want to thank you for answering my questions over the phone. Although I probably sounded super-picky, you were patient and polite, and I really appreciated that! I've gotten compliments from people on the mortar and pestle, and I'm sending them all your way! |

Sorphea, Santa Rita Guam. I chose your service because you had the availability of fresh galangal and kaffir lime leaves. I've looked EVERYWHERE I could find on this small island for these items and found nothing, not even any tamarind of ANY kind. When I made my first order from ya'll, of the mortar and pestle with the ground kaffir lime leaves, it came within 3 business days. That's why I thought the fresh produce would come sooner. And I know you can't control the shipping time, I think it could maybe be because it said "dry products" on the label, when there was actually fresh ones in there too. That could possible push them to rush it? I don't know. I don't know how they choose which goes quicker. I'm glad you told me that the galangal will be okay though I mean if it isn't a problem, I'd even pay more, but if you don't want me to order fresh produce it's fine. Your the only company I've found that actually ships here And uses USPS. I mean, if I just order fresh produce, and it Only looks the way it did, and it is still okay to cook with, I'm fine with that. What do you think? I'm here for 3 years, and I've never thought they wouldn't have any Thai products or ingredients here. Not even at the farmer's market. Can you believe that? I've even tried to ask the local thai restaurants, but they aren't very helpful, because their workers don't know what I'm talking about But I don't expect you to sympathize with me. I just wished there were a REAL Variety asian grocery store here. Thank you for everything though! |

Jacquie, Oklahoma. Wow what a great site took me a while to order from them, web trust issues, but boy am I glad I trusted them. What great service and produts. I ordered from another site and got broken items and half empty. But here OMG now my husband is on the site looking at what we will order next. Thank you for the great service. Spices are awsome and the videos, receipes what a great place to shop. I will be sending all my friends and family to this site. Thank you again. Thank you SO much!! We are really enjoying all of the products. We can make better thai food than the restaurant in town. |

Susan, Mesa AZ. I LOVE that sauce - I used it the other nite when I was cooking and never had it before. It was awesome. Thanks so much !!! |

Eduardo, Miami FL. First I'd like to thank you for having such a great selection of items, recipes, and tools to choose from! That and great prices. I remember how happy I was to discover your website. I was trying to make some Tom Kha Kai soup after having it at a local restaurant but no specialty food markets carried the items. Finally I decided to try online and I was extremely surprised to find not only hundreds of ingredients, but that you actually offered a kit to make several servings of the soup! I really enjoy cooking Thai thanks to you. Now I found out that you were giving out carving knives and I am completely thrilled. I have liked your Facebook page from the day I discovered your site and I just suggested it to 12 friends that I know cook regularly. Hopefully thy will be your future customers too. |

Joy, Silverdale WA. Ever Since I move to WA I cant find any Thai store around where I live. I am Thai to. The so call "Asian" Store don't have much products that I am looking for. I been looking online to find a Thai store around the WA state. It was in Seattle I'm still new here and live on military base so it was hard to find thai stuff here. I love how I got my products I need in 2 days from ordering. Thank You so much. |

Tara, Mason WI. I have purchased two 6" granite mortar and pestle as wedding gifts and a 7" mortar and pestle for me. I LOVE IT. My sister liked mine so much she ordered one for herself. Quality product. |

Valerie, Short Hills NJ. I am a long time repeat customer of Import food . Their products are great and their customer service is superb . so refreshing to deal with them . The Hand Brand products are the best curry pastes I have ever tried , they rival home made , just love it . I would really love to see a better peanut sauce , that would make my day ! Thanks for all your great products and prompt service. |

Jena, Atlanta GA. Thanks to the good people here at importfood.com I have finally been able to cook really good Thai food. I love the curry paste and other items I've purchased here. I love the wok and the large mortar and pestle as well. The mortar and pestle is so beautiful I keep it out on my kitchen counter. Thank you so much for the ingredients, videos and recipes. |
|

Jane, Katy TX. Just thought I would let you know, everything arrived today. The wok looks beautiful and I was most impressed with the way everything was packed. Can't wait to get cooking! |

Linh, San Jose CA. Thank you so much. The khanom krok pans are perfect. Will be testing them out this wknd with the family. If all goes well, I'll be ordering more next yr. |

Colene, Wayland MA. I received the lime leaves and galangal, and both are super fresh! I really appreciate your sending the extra lime leaves; now I'll have them to use through the winter months. |

Vicky, Edina MN. I received my order today. Packaging was well done. Produce is very fresh! I'm impressed with everything. What a well-run business! Thanks for making it possible for people who want to cook authentic Thai food using the best ingredients! I will definitely order from your company again and will spread good words about your great web site. |

Robert, Hempstead TX. Thank you for emailing us. We are on your contact list because we order AROY-D coconut milk from you. We are nutruition and health conscious, and have experimented with many other "milks", such as soy, hemp, dairy, almond, rice, etc. So far coconut milk seems to be the safest, more nutritious, and - just as important - the tastiest. Did you know that AROY-D is the only coconut milk producer that packages their product in a package instead of a can. Why is this important? Because scientific research has now found that the lining of tin cans contains Bisphenol A (BPA), just like some plastics do. BPA has now been proven to be a carcinogen. It's one of the reasons why people are being encouraged to find alternatives to drinking water from plastic water bottles. |

Randy Z, Michigan. Just had to write again to praise the Maxchup line of sauces. I'm quite a good cook, and rarely would endorse something as complete, right out of the bottle, but these sauces are amazing. Maybe it's because they're simply made from the same stuff you'e cook with, not a bunch of corn syrup -- I don't know how they get such fresh flavors to survive the bottling process, but they do. If I'm in a hurry or home late from work, I shake a little of the hot basil Maxchup on some stir-fried chicken and onions, it's really good. Today I seared some tofu cubes and shrimp, tossed in some broccoli, and a couple shakes of the black-pepper Maxchup that you had on special last week (I am so happy I ordered five bottles!). I can't believe it came from a bottle and I can't believe I'm saying this - it's as good as anything I make from scratch. It's phenomenal with shrimp. I love it! |

Kevanne, Philadelpia PA. We received our first order from your company last week. After a week of great enjoyment trying the various products we ordered, I just wanted to write to you and say THANK YOU from my family for all these wonderful foods. Your company has new fans in our household. And a question: Might you have any *green* curry pastes that are vegetarian? Sadly for us, your wonderful Hand brand green curry and the delicious Mae Ploy green curry both contain shrimp paste (only the yellow curries are vegetarian). I did check all the curry paste products I could find on your website before my order, but found no green curry pastes among them. Did I miss something? Are you hiding any vegetarian versions in your back cupboards, by chance. Also, will you have any 'flat rate free shipping' days this month or further in the future? I will plan our next order accordingly. Thank you again for your wonderful products and your great service. |

Natalie, Seattle WA. Hello. I just wanted to tell you how much I love the Thai iced tea mix you sell (Por Kwan brand). I have been trying to make my own Thai iced tea for a while now and never found a bag of Thai tea that I liked or that worked out very well. I ordered the one on your site and made it using the directions you supplied (thank you) and it turned out exactly how it tastes at a good Thai restaurant. Now I can save money and make my own. Thank you so much! |
|

Jonathan, Troy NY. I just talked to you on the phone about a potential upcoming mangosteen shipment and I'm very excited! I hope it happens. I am really happy with ordering from you guys :) my phone number, if you need it to notify about immediate mangosteen shipments is (removed). Kow Puhn Kap!! |

Renee, MN. I just had the Thai Iced Tea in December 2010 and fell in love with the tea. I look online for Thai Tea leaves mix and found it here. It taste just like the Thai Iced Tea I had at the restaurant. The order was sent right away and I made some as so as I received the tea. Thank You! |

Kris, Watkins Glen NY. I purchased a Tamarind cutting board that cracked a few months after arrival. The team at ImportFood acknowledged the issue and replaced the original board with a flawless one. I have oiled it twice since and use it daily, it's awesome! I want to commend you for your excellent customer service, you have a customer for life! |
|
|
 |
Michelle, Sacramento CA. I've ordered fresh kaffir lime leaves and Thai chile peppers because I can not find them where I live. They arrive quickly and in excellent shape! I can not make a good Tom Yum soup without the Kaffir lime leaves, it adds that piquant flavor that I can't get when using lime juice. Thank you!!! |
|
|
 |
Vino, Online Comment. I love your videos, thank you! Hope to learn more about Thai food and the beautiful people from Thailand; Please keep it coming. |

William, Antioch TN. Thank you for my order; it arrived in perfect condition and I am looking forward to using it in my kitchen. My very best wishes to you in your business. |

Jim, Duluth MN. Jim here. I have ordered lots of stuff from you folks over the past several years and, even though I have NEVER ordered fresh kaffir lime leaves, this mention/announcement/appeal (call it what you will) in your newsletter is just another magnificent example of what a classy, quality-driven company (=bunch of nice people) you are.
How many companies out there would be willing to post in their newsletter that they delivered what turned out to be an inferior product, and then offered to make good on it?
You folks are the best. Every single spice, condiment, bag of rice, mortar and pestle, sauce, etc......on and on and on are of the best quality and I really appreciate you being out there for us foodies.
Thank you for being a high quality company with high standards. You deserve nothing less than the best.
Feel free to use any or all of this in promotions for your fantastic company.

Beth, Moberly MO. I ordered another shipment of supplies tonight. I was so impressed by the packing and promptness that I started adding to a shopping cart immediately. How many times have I been disappointed by poor product or packaging. It means so much to us to feel the attention to detail. I ordered a set of street vendor videos and am entranced. I tend to cobble my Thai food together using basic marker ingredients to create a good taste. Is it authentic? I doubt it but it still brings joy to people who eat my food and I thank you for being such a great company!
|

Rita, Frazier Park CA. Already received the lemongrass; Thanks for the prompt service. |

Michelle, Valparaiso, IN. I love this site! I've been shopping here over 3 years now. I love thai cuisine and don't really like to have drive a long way to get it, I'd rather make it in the comfort of my own home. I absolutely love the holy basil seasoning paste! Even my picky husband will eat it when I prepare it with chicken and jasmine rice. I ordered the thai cafe produce and curry combo today. I'm excited to be getting the lime leaf shreds. I was given a lime tree two summers ago and it was pretty old and kicked the bucket this year, so no lime leaves for me. Plus, I would rather order the lime leaves from this site than have to drag a big, thorny lime tree inside each winter anyway! |
|
|
 |
Edwina, Weatherford TX. thanks for such good service. I am happy with my order. |
|
|

Arthur, El Monte CA. We love the quality of curry you carry. Love your site also. We live in LA and I will spread ImportFood site. Please keep up the good work. |

Eileen, Brookfield CT. Thank you for using your combined talents, training and love for cooking to create your wonderful business. I've enjoyed ImportFood.com for a bit now and, finally, today I placed an order. Something I plan on doing regularly. I appreciate the quality of product you offer as well as your low prices.
I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease - your recipes and products are either gluten free or easily adaptable. Now all I have to do is get use to the heat index of Thai food. I don't use black table pepper! It's too hot. Food that causes pain and induces hot flashes, even in the young, is a bit daunting... but I discovered that I love curry. I've been eating it despite the fear factor and it is getting easier. I'm working my way up the curries.
Wish me luck with the Masaman Kit that I'm going to use to whip up some Gaeng Masaman Gai in my new Street Vendor Wok! I'm going to add lots of sweet potatoes (yams) and serve it over heaps of sticky white rice that I'll be making with my Sticky Rice Kit. |

Joan, Land O Lakes WI. My goods arrived Friday evening and are great. Thank you! |
|
|
 |
Sandra, Battle Lake MI. We love your company and website -- I always watch the video you mention in emails and enjoy them thoroughly. I have learned much from them over the years, NOT that I am every going to be as proficient as those street vendors!!! Love your products and your company. . . and this "personal" kind of touch that this email suggests. |
|
|
 |
Mike, Marietta GA. I must thank you for being the best source for recipes and produce I have ever seen. You website is just awesome. You make me look really good as a cook for all my friends and family. |

Diane, Fort Thomas KY. The mangosteens were fantastic. I ate them on in about three days. First time I've had them in many years, and they continue to be my favorite fruit of all time. Any chance of rambutans being available? |
|
|
 |
Regina, Federal Way WA. I received the sauce for Som Tum and Thai Tea mix. Very well packaged. I watched the video on how to make it and became home sick. I lived in Thailand for 4.5 years and had my food prepared per the traveling vendor. Thank you so much for providing what I need to make my favorite dish. |

Roy, Honolulu HI. I just got my set of 3 plastic-handled Kiwi knives the other day. They are truly sharp and a pleasure to use. Can't beat them for the price. They are so wickedly sharp, in fact, that the point of the large santoku arrived bent at the tip because it slipped out of its packaging and cut right through the box during shipment! There were several tiny razor-like slits in the cardboard where the knife point poked through the box and apparently hit something hard! Cut my finger a bit trying to straighten it, too, lol. These things are the real deal--they will effortlessly cut through anything. I highly recommend them. |
|

Susan, Greensboro NC. Can't wait to make my special coconut cake with your coconut milk, highly recommended by an outstanding pastry chef. |
|

Patricia, Markham Ontario, Canada. Just want to let you know that I received my order (granite mortar and pestle) yesterday and it is truly awesome, I absolutely love it! Thanks so much for selecting such a beautiful piece. Also, I have just placed an order for another one, because my boyfriend thought it would make a great wedding present for his nephew. |
|
|
 |
Joanne, Somis CA. My mangosteens came today and are wonderful and fresh. Your customer service is outstanding. I love everything I've ordered from you. I'm especially pleased with my tamarind cutting board and would love to have a larger one. Thanks So Much, |
|
|
 |
Gina, Emeryville CA. I've never purchased anything from you, but I LOVE your newsletters, recipes and street vendor video series. For the first time, I looked at your info page. Very impressive and I'm even more impressed now knowing that you have even rescued a stray from Thailand - as a dog lover, that makes me happy. Nice work! As soon as I get over my fear and attempt to cook some of your recipes, I will be making purchases from you! |

Tammy, Dexter OR. Awesome, I ordered yesterday and the Woks came today! I couldn't be more pleased with the quality. Nice and heavy and perfect balance. I ordered one for myself and one for my daughter who is taking up healthy cooking and learning to stir fry. Thanks so much Import foods for another great product! |

Eric, Philadelphia PA. the videos are much better than following the recipes as you can see how the dishes are made, the technique and ingredients. I have been telling a lot of my friends about them and the site for ingredients. |

Ambassador Moller, Guinea. Thank you hugely for your generous reply. I have done business with ImportFoods since 2000, always on-line and mostly overseas, and I have always found you to be helpful and responsive. Because so many merchants won't ship to the DPO address, I'll send around a message to my colleagues in the Embassy letting them know they can order Thai and other Asian products at your website and how you have recomended we handle the address issue. Again, many thanks. |

John, Cheyney PA. I'm passionate about making authentic Asian food with real ingredients and have a great disdain for dumbed-down cookbook recipes that make it easy for us Americans to make them by cutting corners. I love your Thai street vendor videos as they are about as real as you can get. I grow my own Kaffir lime tree in Pennsylvania (comes inside in the winter) and have galangal and Thai chilies perpetually in my freezer. One of my favorite recent cookbook finds is "Southeast Asian Flavors" by Robert Danhi.
Keep up the good work and I'm happy for you and your wife for carving out such a wonderful niche business for yourselves. I would love to have my business be my passion for Asian food, but the corporate IT world called out to me much earlier in my life. Good to see a fellow dog-lover as well. There probably aren't too many Thai dogs in the U.S. |

Mel, WI. I ordered the thai tea and was very pleased with it. It's like a dessert on it's own! Crisp, clean, very sweet and very creamy:)I also like the fact that it's not over-dyed. Thank you. P.S.-Expect orders from me in the future! |

Rebecca, Joplin, MO. Thank you, thank you, thank you for my mortar and pastel for making Som Tum!! I was using just a regular size and it made a bit of a mess because it wasn't big enough. I love being able to use the correct equipment when making the salad now! The complete order process was very efficient and I received my order within days of ordering! Look forward to ordering from you again in the future! Quality products from a Quality Company! |

Malee and Clay, Saratoga WY. We just got our Kratong Tong mold and Kanom Krok Pan. We are both excited to try them both right away.

The order cam in a timely fashion and was exactly what we expected. Thanks. |

Komkwuan, APO. My order arrived safely and completely intact. I thought I emailed you to thank you but I must have forgotten. I apologize. I want to say thank you so much for putting the package together and mailing it to me via priority mail. We still haven't received a computer part that we ordered in February via regular mail! My parents and in-laws in Thailand shipped us some Thai ingredients last month. I'm sure when that supply has diminished we will be putting an order in. I gave your website info to some of the Thai ladies here in Seoul, Korea to order some ingredients. Thanks again. Please take care. |

Sacha, Penn Valley CA. I am a new customer of your website. I am so happy to see that you have Aroy-D 100% natural coconut milk in a box. Yeah! All that one is able to find in the US markets is canned milk that firstly is IN a can and usually has preservative and/or guar gum. I lived in Thailand for many years working in restaurants. Now that I live back in California I miss a lot of the benefits from shopping fresh for my ingredients. Thank you very much for your fine and authentic selection! Thank you...khap khun maak ka... Chock-Dee! |

Maria, Alexandria VA. Hello Jerry and the gang. Hope that you are well (and awake). How is your wonderful wife? I thank you for all the recipes and being in touch. I have not ordered anything recently because I lost my job almost a year ago and I am trying to make it. But as soon as I start working again I will order some stuff. I especially have to order Thai Basil. It was so good. I love the recipes. Thanks for keeping me on as a customer. I really appreciate it. |

Gretta, Belleville, KS. I used the flat bottom wok and wok turners last night---we had a blast. I did elbow my 3 year old daughter right in the face trying to use the wok turners, she was crying and I couldn't help but laugh. What fun!! |

Londell, Denver, CO. We just returned from our vacation to Thailand and me being the foodie that I am was quite sad to think that I was leaving all of that wonderful behind! BUT THEN I FOUND IMPORTFOOD.COM!!!! And don't get me started on the recipes you have posted on your site!!! Do you know how long I have been scouring the internet trying to find "authentic" cookbooks?!?! Yesterday I received the wok I ordered from you all and I have two things to say: 1) I can't believe that I can order a product from Thailand when including shipping it's more affordable than going to a local store here; and 2) when I opened the box it was in perfect condition. Thank you Import Foods, THANK YOU!!! I can't wait for my first food order! Please, PLEASE don't ever go away!!!! |

George, Rockford, IL. Thank you very much for your fast and efficient shipping of my Thai Chili Peppers. I needed to find a new source of these little gems since my local grocer decided to not carry these any longer. They are absolutely perfect, fresh, and HOT. I will return to purchase more product in the future. |

Wayne, Oak Lawn IL. I've been in heaven since I'd found your site, oh, two years ago? Prior, I've had to root out all these little ethnic store-fronts all over Chicago. I prepare "world" cuisine, and found you invaulable in providing just what I need. However, may I suggest adding miso to your Japanese line-up? I was so pleased you've added "instant pho" base to your line! I've been preparing Viet Namese cuisine since I'd returned from Binh Dinh Province in 1969 -but not pho. I've left that to restaurants, as it's so time consuming. Once I receive my order, I can now add the Viet Namese (proper spelling, by the way, it's two words) "national dish" to my repertoire -thank you! |
