Grill City

Love the pork BBQ as always. They now have a bowl which you can see at a kiosk inside Seafood City and eat at Grill City. It's very affordable. The line was not long at 6PM on a Monday.

So many of my friends have been raving about this place. I had stopped in a few times but each time the line way crazy long.1-2 hr wait.

So I decided to come back once the hype died down a bit. We came on a Friday night and it had calmed down a lot. Probably about a 15 min wait now.

We got a little bit of everything. The bbq chicken is better than the bbq pork skewers in my opinion, both were ok. The sauce is solid.

We got the squid, I was not a fan. My favorite were the lumpia’s, it’s pretty expensive though you can get a big tray of them from places like godos.

We got both the chicken skin and the pork skin, the chicken skin was one of my favorites but it is quite salty.

We also got the pancit, it’s pretty bland here. And the roasted pork, it was also one of the better items. But it was super fatty.

Finished off with the fried footlong banana and that was good not overly sweet. Washed it down with the mango drink. The drink itself was good but the little balls were super sweet.

Overall, for a food court it is okay but nothing I would wait over an hr for.

Grill City is located inside Seafood City Market.

In the first few weeks, from its initial operation, I've heard about bad feedback from customers like people have to wait long lines just to buy their food. Nowadays, things are a bit organized and a little better.

With regards to foods, they do offer a wide selection of all-time Filipino favorite dishes like sisig, sinigang, adobo, crispy pata, dinuguan, ginataang puso ng saging, and much more.

On the grilled foods, they do have grilled pork belly, grilled squid, grilled pompano, and pork BBQ.

I ordered the pork BBQ, and it does taste good. The grilled squid tasted fair.

They also have a lot of Filipino dessert to choose from. To name a few are turon, camote-q, ginataang bolo, bilo, Halo-halo, and much more.

Despite a few flaws from the start, I'm sure a lot of people will be back to experience the taste of flavors that they missed from the Philippines. I wouldn't mind coming back for sure!

Update to my previous review: I finally made it in line early enough to get a good spot. Maybe about a 10 minute wait. Was it worth it? I could've waited an hour and it would still be worth it. This food is so heavenly delicious! My mouth was already watering as I stood in line watching the meat being grilled to perfection and as I got closer to the food, my head was spinning trying to narrow down what I should choose.

Since it was 9 am, I decided to get a breakfast plate, the Grilled Silog value meal with two meats, garlic rice and two eggs. For the two meats I bordered longanisa and corned beef hash. I also ordered a foot long turon and a pound of chicharron. Oooohweee! Everything tastes so good and my belly feels like a stuffed pig. No complaints. I couldn't even finish everything, so I took some to go. My advice? Come soon and come hungry! Why are you still reading this review? Go get in line now!

Disclaimer*** I did not eat here yet. I tried! I really tried!! The line was outrageous!!! I'm not mad at them. The food looks and smells delicious. Located inside of Seafood City Grocery Store. I came for lunch...line out the door. Came back at 2:30 pm. Line still out the door! The atmosphere is vibrant. Lots of families eating and enjoying themselves. Lots of conversation in the air. Very friendly and communal vibe.

I'll be back soon. Hope I can get there early and find a good spot in line.
