    May 2024 - Grilled Whole Squid & Rice (INI-WOW VALUE MEAL)
    Lea L.

    Grill City is located inside of Seafood City Supermarket in Oxnard. I've only been inside the store a couple of times & there's always a line at Grill City. Don't let the line steer you away, it goes quick. If you have someone else waiting in line with you, you can go check out what food they have that day, while the other person waits. It makes the line go smoothly if you know what you want ahead of time. Also, if you're new to trying Filipino food, you have some time to google some of the Filipino items if you're too reserved to ask. Haha... It's Cafeteria style, where you wait in line, pick all of your food items & they box it up for you. You can order your desserts & grab drinks too. Then you pay for everything. There's plenty of tables inside to eat there. TIP: It helps to grab a tray when it's your turn to order, especially when ordering more than you can carry. I appreciate the diversity of patrons in line & those that were dining in... I love that the Filipino Culture is finally getting some recognition here!! We ordered 2 Value Meals, which had a choice of Grilled entree + an additional food item. It was more than plenty for the 3 of us to share. They give you a generous serving of rice. We were happy with our order & our bellies were happy & stuffed. The lady who rang us up was cheerful, nice & appeared super eager to be there. We don't get that that often nowadays. I Love how she gave off positive vibes. We need more just like her. Please Keep it up!

    I was so impressed when I walked into Seafood City supermarket. It is clean and has such a wide variety of Asian goods. The mugs are adorable!! The bakery had so many items that I will need to go back to try. After looking around at all the people ordering their food at Grill City, we decided we had to try it. The workers were kind, although be aware that you will have a language barrier with some employees. After much consideration, the menu is extensive, I settled on the pancit and pork skewer. It also came with white rice as a combo meal. The price felt moderate, 12.00 for all that is pictured. Everything was going well until I realized that my pancit had shrimp in it. I am allergic!!! I was disappointed that the sign did not say this was a seafood dish!!! Or at least not translated. What had been a pleasant experience turned into a scare and trying to get benadryl as soon as possible. So because of that I am giving the 4 stars. I will be contacting management to alert them of this very high risk for potential injury to their customers. But overall the food was delicious, the other platters looked tasty and I would like to go back and give it another try, with a friend to translate .

    We waited so impatiently for Seafood City to open and all of its restaurants to open. Naturally we had to stop and eat at Grill City. Delicious, authentic Filipino food. It's not fine dining cuisine, but worth every penny. We got the Whole Grilled Squid Meal with the Adobo Pusit. The squid had a nice char to it with just the right amount of chewiness. Goes very well w/ the vinegar and chili sauce. Huge cafeteria-style dining. Lots of classics - pancit, lumpia, kare kare, crispy pata, etc. And of course, halo halo. Plenty of seating options, and not too busy when we came for lunch during the week. Staff were very efficient. Easy parking. Good time.

    The breakfast buy one get one is an amazing deal. They do run out fast around 8:45. I wish it was longer time for breakfast

    Cute, small Korean restaurant located in the seabridge shopping center. We were greeted & seated…read moreright away. The best service we've had in a long time! The ladies were so nice & attentive to all the diners. The food was amazing! I would highly recommend their seafood pancake. So tasty & the right amount of seasoning. It was served w a soy sauce & sesame seed dipping sauce. Mandu had a more savory broth as compared to a sweeter broth of the Udon. We would definitely come back. Thank you for a wonderful meal!

    Unfortunately, the quality of the food preparation seems to have declined since my first visits,…read moreand my most recent experiences have been disappointing. I gave the restaurant another opportunity yesterday, but unfortunately, I left disappointed again. It appears they have done away with their old bento boxes. The dishes used for the banchan with the lunch special still have a somewhat dated appearance, including some chipped pieces. Considering the relatively high price of the lunch special, I would think updating the presentation and serving ware would be worthwhile. The service, however, remains friendly and efficient. I ordered the bulgogi, and while it wasn't bad tasting, it didn't seem to be prepared properly. The meat texture was a bit mushy and onions had no caramelization, and the dish lacked the rich, savory flavor and texture that makes good bulgogi so enjoyable. It almost tasted as though it had been cooked at too low a temperature. Unfortunately, the banchan were also disappointing. They were very bland overall. The carrot in the potato-and-carrot dish had an odd taste that reminded me of cleaning solution, so I actually spit it out and didn't eat the rest. The kimchi portion was extremely small and, frankly, didn't look particularly appetizing, so I didn't try it. The radish was also very basic and lacked much flavor. The two wontons were unremarkable, although the radish soup was still good, as it usually is. The salad was fine as usual, and the mixed rice was tasty. Ultimately, though, when I'm paying around $23 before tax and tip for a lunch special and receiving such small portions and inconsistent food quality, I don't feel the meal represents a good value. I really wanted to give this place another chance because I enjoyed my earlier visits, but unfortunately, this most recent meal left me disappointed.
