Food here is over priced. I always wonder why most Filipino food is over priced. Been buying food here for so many years now, since I have no other choice. There are very limited options for decent Filipino food close by. My latest purchase was when I tried their grilled squid for the first time. It's not fully cooked. Recently also, their barbecues are burnt.
Gettin fishy with it! Na, Na, Na, Na, Nana, Na!
Grill City, located inside of Seafood City, specializes in fried & grilled meats catering toward Filipino tastes.
Pork belly, BBQ pork on a stick, squid & tilapia are just some of the items available to dine-on. Diners can purchase these a la carte or as a combo including rice & soup (sinigang or nilaga).
Also available are some hot Filipino dishes such as bopis & ampalaya (bittermelon).
My tastebuds were going poopoo for pompano, so I ordered the grilled pompano combo. I was told the usual soup options, sinigang or nilaga, weren't available. However, I could have a large container of mongo (mung beans), instead. Including dipping sauce of choice.
Sarap na! (Delicious!) A large grilled pompano stuffed with onions & tomatoes. Pompano is a very mild tasting fish with no bones, other than the spine. Tender white flesh with my absolute favorite part being the fatty belly skin. The pompano laid on top of a heaping mound of jasmine rice. The mongo was also very tasty! It was more of a soup, which paired nicely with my meal.
For those with a sweet tooth, bibingka & various smoothies are available for dessert or just as a snack.
Seating is available & shared with Chowking, another fast food eatery inside Seafood City. Parking is in a shared private lot with Polly's Pies, Jollibee, Valerio's etc.
I was going to purchase a pre cooked pompano at the fish section of Seafood City for $6+, but when I decided to check first with Grill City, I found a grilled pompano combo with rice, dipping sauce & soup was only just $8+. Good deal!
I enjoyed my quick & ready meal at Grill City. I must come back to try their Binalot Breakfast, which includes free coffee. For lunch & dinner, the grilled squid has my undivided attention.
Good option for breakfast and lunch with free coffee , I give 3 star because , been here many times the free coffee always gone and need wait every time you need it.
