    Bbq sticks
    Debra W.

    When I'm craving Filipino food for lunch or something, this has quickly become my go to spot. The line can get long and move a little slow so just having that expectation will really help you. They did recently increase some of their prices but no complaints here. I can get a solid meal and have more than enough for around $15. My favorites dishes are the following: Liempo, grilled pork belly. They chop it for you and if you get the meal it comes with one slice, two scoops of rice and one side. Don't forget to ask for the vinegar when paying. Palabok, rice noodles tossed in a seafood gravy topped with boiled egg & chicharron. I don't know what it is about their Palabok here but it's damn good. No fresh lemon but they do have lemon packets to squeeze on top. Just make sure to ask for it when paying if they don't give it to you. Dinuguan, blood stew with pork & pork innards and best eaten with rice. The dinuguan here is perfectly balanced and seasoned and love it. Ginisang Ampalaya, sautéed bittermelon is my man's fave. He loves bittermelon and sometimes they have it with eggs (his fave) or just with tomatoes and onions. But either way it's good. BBQ Sticks, you can't go wrong with either the pork or chicken but my preference is the pork. Especially when you get a nice fatty piece on your skewer to balance out the lean meat. They make this fresh all day, along with their other grilled meats. Sinigang na baboy, the sinigang is served with plenty of veggies and they definitely do not skimp on the meat either. Sometimes the meat can be a little tough because the pieces are more lean but I'm okay with that. The sabow more than makes up for it. I love my sinigang very sour and while this one is beyond sour it still has a nice flavor and balance to it to please many pallets. I love their lechon here. The skin is crispy, the meat is juicy but their bangnet is a pass for me. It's too crispy and tastes too fried if that is a thing. There are many tables in the open area to sit at if you want to dine in. And if you don't know the name of something that you want, it is okay to point. You can point with your mouth or your finger. There's no judging for that here. Just know that especially on the prepared food the names on the glass don't much line up with the actual dish. Only the names on the grilled section typically line up.

    Chicken BBQ (1 Piece) value meal
    Maria L.

    First off, the grilled chicken/pork skewer here is so good and savory! It has been quite sometime coming in here, and I ordered the value meal with the chicken skewer and another entree. I forgot the name of the other entree ordered, but it kind of looked like curry, and it had pork meat in it. That was pretty tasty, too. I mainly came here for the skewers though. But there is so many entrees you can choose and do not worry, they give you lots of rice too! So, nice of them to think of their customers. Grill city can be very busy in here, it'll be lucky if you can find a place to eat. Since, the place is located in the mall and directly in seafood city grocery stores. While you have customers coming to grab food or grocery shopping around you. So it can get very loud and crowded! I would say, give this place a try. There's many Filipino dishes you can try and you might just want to try them all!

    Bbq pork

    A quite surprisingly good fast option for grocery store cafeteria food.. I was honestly really pleased with the quality of food here. We had originally wanted to get Jollibee, but after seeing the line we decided against it and went elsewhere. This was conveniently located inside the grocery store next door, so we decided to come try. I don't get Filipino food that often, so this was pretty exciting for me. We got the bbq pork skewer which came with a huge portion of rice, and chose the rice noodle stir fry as our side. They were super generous with the portion, although I was sad they were out of the chicken adobo. The food itself was great - the pork was tender and had such a yummy sauce, and the rice was somehow so amazingly fragrant and good. The noodles were just ok - a little too much pepper for our taste but not bad by any means. If you're looking for something quick, affordable, and tasty, this is a great spot for some Filipino food :)

    I don't know why i just realized that if I'm craving Filipino food, I don't need to drive far and I don't even have to cook! Seafood City is already a must for my grocery needs so why not add Grill City as a stop when going grocery shopping or just whenever I'm hungry! I usually get their pork BBQ. Their pork sinigang (sour soup) is also good! My parents' version is my fave but the sinigang at GC is a close second. Their Bicol Express is surprisingly delicious as well! Their nilaga is just ok though. I'd love to go back over and over until I've tried almost every dish they have! Service is ok. I wouldn't expect anything special so just focus on the food! They mean well, but it's just how it is sometimes!

    Every time we visit family near Seattle, we make it a point to drop by this area for Filipino food. Been here before but first time to dine for dinner. We ordered pinakbet and grilled mackerel with steamed rice. The pinakbet was good, not too salty, and the mackerel was delicious - moist and not overcooked. The minus stars is because: 1) tables need to be cleaned as soon as a customer is done so others can sit without waiting for an employee to clean it. 2) floors are dirty 3) it's always a long wait to stand in line and order food. Located inside Seafood City Market adjacent to the mall.

    Two of the Kare Kare, Pork Menudo, and Pork Adobo

    I was craving longanisa, and my bf brought me here since he said his parents always eats here and they like it. Well, they didn't have any longanisa... maybe only for breakfast? So, my bf and I both went with the 2-item combo. I got the Kare Kare and Pork Adobo, and he also got the Kare Kare and Pork Menudo. The Kare Kare was an additional $2 upgrade, and was actually my least favorite out of the dishes we got. It came with a little side of the shrimp paste, and I definitely needed that because it was bland without it. A lot of fatty pieces on the beef and pork, but the pork adobo and pork menudo was still decent. Long line; getting the food wasn't too bad, but waiting to pay was what took the most time. Staff is very friendly. Maybe next time I'll try the BBQ skewers.

    That's how much I was charged and I do not see any palabok on my order.

    GRILL CITY AT SOUTH CENTER MALL I want exactly what's on the Ad posted on top of the counter and what she hand me over was totally different from what I ordered. I calmly repeated myself and politely ask her to give me what I want. She argued and with a high pitch saying " That's what's on the menu! You should've told me that you wanted a noodles!" She was rude and pushed the plate harshly towards me and said " it's already plated!" I was embarrassed. Everyone was looking at me and I was speechless. My friend who was standing next to me suggested to take what she serve and just pay for it. I was forced to order a noodle separately, also I wasn't given a portion or a side of pickle just like what their ad says. I learned from the cashier that the servers name was LORNA the cashier was even afraid to fix my order. Photos are attached so you can clearly see the difference. I was also charged for a palabok. There wasn't a manager around, unfortunately. It's a sad experience, I do not wish these to happen to anyone.

    This place is not bad. It's Filipino food in a supermarket. I gives me authentic vibes of how it would be like to order food in the Philippines, so that's what's drawn me here a few times. What I like here the most is the meat. I got the grilled chicken skewer this time and it was very tasty. Had a bbq grilled flavor. A previous time I got some crispy pork but they didn't have it this time. I also ordered this side dish and they said it was beef and vegetables. Upon closer inspection after I had a chance to sit down with my food, I'm not sure if this is regular beef or some kind of liver so I stopped eating it. If this was a normal restaurant I'd deduct a star. But this place seems to specifically cater towards Filipinos and those who know how to speak the language so I will give them a pass. Come for the meat!!

    Pork BBQ
    Kevin R.

    The line was super long but took even longer to get through. It was really difficult to find seating because the place was packed. The adobo and pork skewers were good. Everything else was pretty bad and didn't seem fresh. Especially the lumpia, pancit, and palabok. I'm Filipino and have eaten plenty of times at Grill City in San Francisco, but the food here just didn't taste right.

    Pork skewers
    Yen D.

    Inside seafood city, you will find a long line of Filipinos waiting for food at this restaurant. Great prices and lots of authentic eats. I had to get the pork skewers since they were being cooked as well as the chicken skewers. Halo halo overload had flan, jackfruit, coconut jelly, corn flakes, red bean and more topped with an ice cream scoop of ube with a spring roll filled with ube. So good! I also got to try their bibingka. Not too sweet at all. Pork belly was also good. Service was quick. There's a few tables to sit at. Ambiance is like at the Costco food court since you have to find a table for your group.

    Grilled Pork Liempo (1 Serving)
    Marthin M.

    I got the Pork Liempo with a soup I believe is sinigang and the soup was delicious in terms of sourness. The pork wasn't as much and felt like a smaller portion so the service was lacking in terms of portion sizes. The vibe felt sticky and oily honestly.

Our plane was a little delayed and we arrived at around 3:30 and arrived to pick up our Max's order at around 4:10. It took staff to come to the counter around 10 minutes! When we inquired about our order, the man in the counter non-chalantly informs us that our order is still being processed without even checking the bags already on the take-out counter. We patiently waited...15 minutes pass and another girl comes by and asks us if we've been seen to, When we gave our order name, she checks the bags already in the counter and lo and behold! Our order was always there! Such incompetence from the former staff member who met us! A countryman of mine at the same time, I'm ashamed to say... The food was just below par. The kare-kare was mostly soup almost devoid of meat and vegetables. The bangus sisig was riddled with fish bones! The chicken sisig,,,the chicken was dry. The pansit bihon noodles was clumped together. The chop suey lacked seasoning and tasted bland. The only saving grace was the fried chicken... We came to this place to get good Filipino food knowing the reputation that Max's is known for, This Max's location just failed dismally, I'd recommend avoiding this location!
