    Turon
    Stephanie H.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Grill City's Bagnet

    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.

    Shmack city. Wish they had more veggie options BUT you do get a bang for your buck if you prefer meat.

    Bbq pork skewers

    I often buy food here and the Bbq chicken and pork skewers got smaller but the price stayed the same.

    A plastic inside this container. Bilo-bilo

    This is so bad, i never buy anymore to this seafood city grill, i bought a bilo-bilo today but when i try to open and examine the food this is what it came out a plastic.

    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.

    2023/040 This cafeteria ambience is located inside the Seafood City Grocery. The chicken and pork bbq skewers are grilled on spot visible to everyone's pleasure. Food are authentic traditional Filipino cuisine that you can taste anytime to satisfy cravings like I do!! A little pricey but i guess if you want it , you have to pay for the price.

    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.

    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.

Customers waiting for their number to be called like to crowd around the pickup counter like animals! There's plenty of seating inside too. I ordered from the self-order kiosks, and the process was easy with no line on a Friday evening. It then took about 12 minutes for my food to be ready. Got a 2-piece chickenjoy half n half (one spicy, one regular) which came with a biscuit & one side (I chose mashed potatoes). It also came with an extra cup of gravy, perfect for dipping. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the spicy was borderline too hot for me but too yummy not to finish. The biscuit and mashed potatoes were standard but rounded out the meal nicely. And I enjoy the unique taste of the gravy at Jollibee every time I visit.

It's very much fast food, I don't love it just because the flavors feel a bit plain and/or microwaved vibes, and this place is more expensive than some other fast food spots. The chicken outside is crispy but I chose the spicy option and I didn't taste a hint of spice. I do love my spice so maybe it was too subtle? It does also already come with gravy, so I don't love that the ordering tablets suggest more gravy for you to get but lesson learned! There are three ordering tablets next to the front door so ordering is fast and easy. They call your number when your food is ready. Service is either overly polite to the point of awkward or slightly aggressive, but overall fine. There's lots of seating and it's quite busy even when I usually go during my lunch break at 2pm. Strangers will also try to (politely) interact with you here so be prepared for that lmao Parking can get crowded at the mall but I always find a spot, you might just have to walk a bit to get to the main entrance. Jollibee also has a door directly accessible from the outside. The mall restrooms aren't amazing but usable. I'm not sure if Jollibee has its own restroom or not though. It's overall fine!

We got the neopolitan and cookies and cream shakes, both of which were thick and tasted just like drinkable ice cream. The dough babies were stuffed with chocolate; too sweet for me.

Staff were super busy on a Sunday lunch rush but were still attentive and kind Standout was the chicken enchilada - usually I'm not a fan (my reference el Torito) but the seasoning was quite good and texture still had some bite to it , not too mushy ALSO the beef taco was JUICY and flavorful and taco shell actually had a bit of crisp from some searing. The Birria dip itself was not super flavorful but did add a nice dopamine boost from the fat. I think their tacos are probably pretty fire would come back for that Chimichanga was yum I haven't had this before but I love that the burrito had a slight crisp to it bc it was fried. Al pastor was also quite nice and came thru above the guac and sour cream and salsa and rice. Their refried beans are so nice and creamy. Does not taste canned u can also see some bean chunks still. Chips when I was there kinda stale but it's free and also comes with a taco sauce bar u can get onions cilantro salsa so pretty good Prices are kinda elevated not the cheapest a single taco is $5-6.
