Certainly not a 2.4 (the current rating) but not a 4 either. Still I'm going to give it a 4 because it's not bad at all and I love the portions for the cost. But it just wasn't great. I'm still searching for my "go to" Filipino restaurant and this isn't it. It would do in a pinch though and if you're hankering for some skewers of meat, you could definitely do worse. FOOD: Good but not great as I said before. I did enjoy the chicken skewers but found the pancit lacking. The rice...was okay. Pretty good actually. SERVICE: Loved the portions and it was packaged well so good marks for that. COST: For the portions, the cost was very reasonable and honestly, if the food was a bit better, I would give it even a higher score. read more

Grill City is located inside Seafood City, a Filipino supermarket, which makes it a convenient stop especially if you're already doing grocery shopping. For my meal, I ordered the grilled pompano, pork sinigang, and dinakdakan. The grilled pompano was decent and cooked nicely. The pork sinigang was good, and the broth had a solid tamarind flavor that was not too sour. That said, it was missing some of the veggies such as string beans, eggplants, tomatoes, and okra. The dinakdakan was really good, with a nice sweet and savory taste. The customer service was good, but overall it was slow, so it helps to plan for a bit of a wait. On top of that, the surroundings were clean, and there's plenty of parking. read more

Grill city, grill grill, city. Popular place on a weekend! There was a line of people ordering, it's a build your own (BYO) fast casual restaurant. We came here specifically for the Halo halo, but they serve other savory items as well. The halo halo was pretty good! However ours didn't look like the pictures that were displayed! We also ordered one turon, but I thought it was a bit stale and chewy, compared to having a nice crispy / crunch exterior wrap. Overall it was a pretty decent experience! It's located in seafood city, in a market! There's also seating available. read more

We tried ordering TURON that's clearly listed on the sign for $3.99 each, but the older lady kept insisting they only sell it as 5 pieces for $10.99. Then another employee told us we couldn't order half a pound of chicken skin and had to pay for a full pound only. The pricing and ordering policies should match what's actually posted on the menu because this was really frustrating and confusing as customers. read more

Breakfast menu is a trick, they always run out of eggs which is part of the combo meal and they don't offer replacement. How can a grocery store runs out of eggs? You'll will be forced to order 2 protein combo instead which is more expensive. And no eggs either. Go to Chowking! read more

Hey, it's a food court inside a super market so it's about as good as can be expected. They do have a nice selection of food. And off you like grilled fish or deep fried Filipino food, this place is for you. Of course they also have the classic sides and desserts too. They have meal deals or order Ala Carte. Get a tray, order and slide on down to the cashier. They also have some nice roasted pork at the booth across the aisle. The food's tasty but I gave it a three because of the quality. read more

The restaurant is conveniently located inside a grocery store. The food is your typical Filipino favorites. Unfortunately, we will not buy their bagnet again. When we were eating it last night, it tasted like the pork was not fresh. The munggo and ampalaya we bought are fine. Their pork barbecue was okay. I really like the grilled squid though. The service never improved since they opened. The seating area is clean. This will always be our last choice if we want to eat out. We threw away the $30 bagnet we bought the next day. You can smell it's "bulugan" as your air-fry it. read more

Grill City - Grill City's Bagnet - Filipino Near Me - Milpitas, California

It's a typical food court in a shopping center. There is a good selection but it is pricey for the amount you are getting. Service is a hit or miss. We came for breakfast and ended up getting chicken tocino and hamonado longanisa with the garlic rice. Portion was definitely small. Garlic rice need more garlic flavor. Chicken tocino was a bit too hard for me to chew. They only give 2 pieces of longanisa which was just okay. Nothing special. The choco champorado we got was okay. No milk provided. Plenty of seating. They didn't even give us the free serving of coffee and when asked we got shrugged off. read more

Foodborne illness from the chicken skewers ordered on 4/27 @ 6PM. Not sure if it was the meat or the sauce that was brushed on top, but both my wife and I didn't have a great time afterward. Tasty though, but not worth it. read more

We had gone to the park earlier in the day and could smell the bbq in the air from the many parkgoers enjoying a warm and sunny spring afternoon grilling some good eats with family and friends. After going for a run, we were HUNGRY and in the mood for some bbq to satisfy our cravings, but too tired to cook it ourselves. We opted to look for filipino bbq, and Grill City was the only place near home we could find open late on a Sunday evening. So we ended up here, and were happy to find that they were still serving chicken and pork bbq skewers (though not much else, besides fish, crispy dishes, and a few other sides and desserts). We ordered the skewers along with a serving of pancit and were on our way. The pork bbq skewers were "buy 4, get 1 free," so we took advantage. They weren't the best I've ever had, but the flavor was good (it was pretty light on the bbq sauce, but they had containers full of basting sauce at the restaurant, so you could ask for extra when ordering at the counter) and the meat wasn't too fatty, so I was satisfied, even if it lacked the char from the grill that usually adds to the taste. The pancit was fine, nothing outstanding but not bad, basic carbs to add to our meal, and a large portion in the to-go container, enough to feed for days. The restaurant is inside Seafood City Supermarket and has plenty of indoor seating available as well as easy parking in the plaza lot. The service was standard, and there was no wait to order food this past weekend when we visited. For sure, Grill City in SSF offers better quality of food, and if looking for filipino food in Milpitas, Pinoy Bbq ATBP is clearly a better choice... However, Grill City in Milpitas still serves decent filipino bbq if you need something in the area open later in the evening, especially on days when most other similar restaurants are closed. read more

Grill City is located inside Seafood City Market. They have Fast food Filipino food. But, I've only tried the BBQ Pork skewer, Crispy Pata, and the Calamansi drink. BBQ Pork Skewer - marinated Pork pieces skewered together and cooked on a grill. The meat is tender and sweet tasting. Crispy Pata - though, they are using the pork belly & ribs vs pig trotters. Calamansi Juice - a lot like lemon, with more tangerine sweetness. Refreshing! Inside seating available. read more

Waited and got ignored in line before they decided to help the person waiting behind me. They must have good business with their regulars because they seem to hate getting new customers. read more

Came for the fried chicken skin, and got ignored and looked passed for 20 minutes by three different employees.

I workout at a gym nearby and have always wanted to try this spot out after seeing it at Seafood City because the meats looked so good being cooked behind the glass wall. To my disappointment, the flavors did not "meat" my expectations. Both the chicken and the beef were under seasoned. The sauce used did not have enough flavor. The meat itself was also over cooked. The only upside to this place was the non-standard meats selection had some hidden gems like beef intestines. I will not be coming back. read more

If you went to Seafood City in Milpitas, there's this fast-food chain called Grill City next to it. Food is mostly prepared and grilled in front of you. If you're Filipino, you'll enjoy most of their grilled food such as fish, chicken, and beef. I ordered the Pampano fish combo and my wife ordered the chicken BBQ stick. The pampano is not seasoned to the taste and needs to marinate. Their crispy pata and lechon kawale are good. You'll enjoy their juicy meat and crunchy pork skin. Next time I come here, I will taste their other Filipino dishes. read more

The food here is fine. That's not my issue. I have never seen such terrible and rude customer service EVER. I've been here a couple of times and have experienced the same attitude every time by different workers. There were two people ahead of me and the workers kept chatting and laughing while there was a whole line of us waiting for them to be done. Then someone spoke up in line and the workers gave the dirtiest look to all of the customers. When I was done paying, she bagged my order and just roughly slid it to me and had it hit my stomach. I then asked for napkins and utensils, then she rudely grabbed the napkins and utensils and just threw them on top of the bag and made me put it in myself. I can no longer argue that they've must've had a bad day because this comes expected every time I come. Customer service attitude is the worst here. read more

Thia afternoon I walked out all the way to the parking lot to my car with my turon, wondering if I had paid for it or not. So I went back inside and stood in line again. The two pieces of turon were like $3.25 plus tax. They're huge---maybe 12 inches in length? I haven't tried them yet, but I'm sure they're as delicious as it looks. read more

Grill City - Turon - Filipino Near Me - Milpitas, California

I would love to give this place more than the stars I'm affording them. But, I just can't shake the fact that service in every location they have that I go to was just so slow and lacking. Their food, don't get me wrong is always good. Well, the one's that we always get that is. Everytime we crave filipino food to bring to a relative's house, this was always our go to place. Pricey, but it's not everyday I order here so we splurge once in awhile. Crispy Pata is re-fried to order so you'll get that crunchy pork skin that just addicting with every bite. Grilled fish was not dry and flavorful. Grilled liempo has that tangy sweet marinade to it that when dipped into vinegar just brings out a flavor party in your mouth. Of course their barbecues on a stuck, pork to be exact, was always on point. Make sure to get here while it was fresh off the grill coz they can go out fast and you'll have to wait again for cooked ones to go out. I still come back here whenever cravings and laziness to cook attacks. Servers are nice but just be patient though as they can be a bit slow or you have to flag them down to get service. read more

I really love Grill City for its BBQ skewers! I've had it a handful of times but I've never actually been to the location in person myself. It's located inside of Seafood City by the produce area which makes it pretty crowded. Came by on a Saturday afternoon and the line was long. There were about 2-3 people serving customers, but it was still moving pretty slow unfortunately even despite most of all of their offerings already made. It took me about 20-30 minutes to get my order, so if you're planning on coming here, be prepared to take a while. I had the chicken BBQ skewers and ordered 5 as they have a Buy 4, Get 1 Free promotion. I also ordered a small bopis which had plenty of good flavors. The BBQ skewers they grill in front of you and tastes amazzinggg. I like the pork ones more than the chicken, but regardless they're worth trying! read more

I love coming here for the BBQ sticks and lumpia. It's a great quick dinner/ snack choice. It's a to-go counter and there is always a line so you shouldn't expect any kind of real service. And the parking is pretty tough because it is located inside the seafood market. They have tables to sit and eat but I normally just take to go. read more

You want to be here, and you want to be here for one thing only. BBQ! The time to wait for the BBQ is insane. If you miss the current batch, you would have to wait for roughly 20 minutes. Trust me, that feels like an eternity. 1. Get inside of the Seafood City Supermarket. Don't get distracted by other things along the way. Remember you are here for the BBQ. 2. Go get in line right away. If lucky, you get your BBQ. 3. Regardless whether or not you get your BBQ, go further in the line to pick up the drinks. I recommend Calamansi Juice or Mango Cream. 4. After you pay, go back to end of the line again if you didn't get your BBQ. Now you can sip your drink while waiting. read more

I enjoy going to Seafood City Grill but I was blown away with their price of the Jeprock crispy salted fish at $72 per lb. I bought them before but never at that price. That's crazy. Average price I've seen in the area is like $29 per lb. What's happening with Seafood City Grill? read more

This place has a wonderful variety of meals that are reasonably priced and affordable. I've been coming here a little more regularly as they serve breakfast until about 10am. For about $5, you get rice, eggs, and your choice of the usual breakfast entrees. You got longanisa, tocino, even luncheon meat. Besides breakfast, their grilled items for lunch/dinner are amazing. You can't go wrong with grilled skewers. Filipino food is just delicious and amazing. The kare kare is a must try if you haven't had it before, and if you're a little more adventurous.. get some dinuguan. Overall, a great place to get food. Affordable and delicious! protip: For those unfamiliar with Filipino food, vinegar is used to add acidity to many dishes. It adds a lovely tangy, sourness that works extremely well.. and helps cut some of the fattier dishes as well. read more

I love their bbq and the grill combos. I always get the grilled mackerel with rice and some sides of vegetables. Good portion in my opinion.

Very slowww. From obtaining orders to register. Despite having enough people or sometimes only left with one person preparing your order but the person behind register takes forever to check customers in. It will usually take 30 to 40 mins in line. read more

I wanted to order some bbq chicken and bbq pork on a stick but the number listed on yelp was for Seafood City. The lady was kind enough to give me the direct number for Grill City which works for all of their Grill City locations in the Bay Area. The number is actually 1 (877) 446-4969. The person taking the order took my order and credit card info and assured me I wouldn't have to wait in line. Thank goodness,because the day of pickup there was a long line of hungry customers waiting to order. I went directly to the cashier and showed her my text verification my order and after a little wait (a customer before me had a large order of several trays of food) my order was brought out to me. My relatives loved the bbq. read more

Another restaurant eatery that resulted from the SIP! I've never ordered from them but have heard so-so reviews for them. This is a in grocery store eatery inside an Asian grocery store called Seafood City. From my Understanding, many people come here to pick up catered foil pans of Filipino style party foods. I've been told that their are more dish items on the in person menu versus what's offered for delivery. I'm such a fan of pork belly and saw that they had a grilled pork belly. I also like the noodle dishes so I got one called pancit bihon. The two item combo comes with a scoop of rice. The grilled pork belly itself was juicy and tender. It was connected to a bone but the meat was cut in pieces but connected to the slim bone, so it makes for easy enjoyment. I like to have grill marks on the pieces of meat. It gave it more texture and flavor. For the noodle dish it was actually a good amount. I was really surprised. It was vegetarian style which I did not mind because I had a whole honkin' piece of pork belly. Overall, it was not bad and was pleasantly surprised. It truly stands by its name because there are a lot of grilled items such as beef, pork, shrimp, fish and I'm sure more grilled items that I have yet to discover. The shared delivery of zero dollars to deliver was perfect timing as it allowed me to try this new place that I have never ever ordered from . read more

If you are in the shopping center and just want something easy and just OK this is your spot. Also if you are looking for quick and good service, look somewhere else. Grill city provides Pilipino comfort food in an order over the counter style. The workers are older Lolas so please don't expect quick service. They were wrong about a price, but thought it was discounted, we paid the full price. No big deal since we expected to pay full price anyway I had the pompano and Chicken adobo. They ran out of chicken adobo so loaded my container with pork adobo as well. The quality of food was not to my liking, as soon as the pork adobo cooled down it was already developing a large layer of fat. My pompano also seemed dry, when I grill mine it never dies out. Let's be honest, there are a lot of people that still go and they will not probably change. It's just there and if you want something quick with ok quality then go for it. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I remember that the first time I visited Seafood City pre-covid, I was overwhelmed by the smoky and delicious smell of barbecue which came from Grill City. I didn't try the barbecue skewers back then, but took a note to come back to try it one day. Today was the day that I got my bbq chicken skewer. It was kinda pricy ($3.99 + tax) and smaller/thinner than I expected, but nonetheless it was a good barbecued chicken skewer - the meat was tender, sweet, and smoky. I saw lots of other people ordered the non-grilled items on the menu, perhaps I'll return to try them another day. read more

I usually go here to get fresh cooked Filipino bbq skewers because its good but the service is horrible, really unorganized.

This seafood grill very disappointing. This is the second time I witnessed this male server from this place being so mean with his customer. If this guy can't control himself by being nice to customers if being asked a questions or a favor, well, he needs to find a new job. Maybe working in a food store is not for you. Very Rude male server. Zero star!!!! read more

I feel like I'm being ripped off for being a non Filipina. I've noticed they treat other Filipinos way better than me, charged me almost $30 for 4 bbq sticks +rice, refused to give me an extra bagoong sauce for the inasal, rushed me when trying to figure out what a certain item was, etc. The cleanliness is another issue since I've seen some employees not wash hands. They always have an excuse as to why I'm being charged this amt whenever I stop by. read more

Just been to this place and I ordered 3 Halo Halo... I didn't get my order due to no available caps for the plastic containers.... The cashier told me to wait because they are looking for caps. The girl didn't find any, So I asked the cashier to cancel my order and refund my payment which amounted to more $17. The cashier told me that I cannot cancel my order and ask for refund. After several minutes of telling them that they didn't deliver my order, the cashier insisted that I am not allowed a refund. Since one of the reasons that I am asking for refund is that it's getting late and I still have to report to work, I told the cashier that she can have my money... Please be careful when you buy food from City Grill. Make sure you're holding what you paid for. You cannot trust these people.. I don't! I am pretty sure you will not do anything since you will protect the money collected from me (without giving what I ordered). It's obvious that your staff were out to swindle me. Thanks but no thanks... You can keep my money! Trained swindlers! read more
