    Grill City Meat Buffet
    Lauren D.

    I had a pretty disappointing experience at Grill City. The server/lady helping me was rude and made me feel like I was bothering her by ordering. When I asked about certain dishes, she just shrugged instead of answering. Several of the signs didn't match what they actually had available for example, the sign said they had lechon, but when I pointed to it, I was told they didn't. As for the food, it was just okay. The rice was mushy, and while the pancit was probably the best thing I got, it wasn't the most flavorful version I've had. Overall, not somewhere I'd rush back to. The menu and options of ordering is also pretty confusing if you don't speak Filipino.

    Located in Seafood City. Their breakfast is a great deal.. w/tax it comes out to $9.95. It comes with garlic rice, 2 over hard eggs, and meat of choice. Choices are longanisa (sweet or vinegar), tocino, or spam. Today I got the vinegar longanisa and it has good flavor and the whole meal is so filling.

    First time here and we ended up spending $60 on lunch for three. We got the chicken bbq "Buy Four Get One Free" without first asking how much each stick was ($21.99). Hubs also ordered a longanisa stick ($6). I think every plate comes with rice and 2 entree choices. Hubs got dinuguan and pork igado ($14.50). I also saw the Grilled value meals which consist of the grilled item plus classic entree, and got confused a little. So I got a grilled tilapia plate and pancit ($15.50). Thankfully the chicken bbq and longanisa were tasty and the picky kid enjoyed both. The tilapia was acceptable for him as well. The hubs wasn't too impressed by the dinuguan or igado. There are tables for dining in and little water cups for water that you dispense yourself from a cooler. They use plastic clamshell containers for the rice, tubs (like the ones used for poke) for the entrees, and utensils. We took home 3 BBQ sticks and they were good after a minute in the microwave (meat removed from skewer of course).

    Super convenient cafeteria-style restaurant located inside the Filipino supermarket Seafood City. I'm addition, they have a grab-and-go refrigerated section with items like jelly pandan and flan, and a "street food" cart with pre-packages foods to go, like arroz caldo and various meats and desserts in a stick. They've also carved out a generous dining space, with widely spaced tables for four in front and on the side of the main buffet. Besides fountain drinks for purchase, they also provide a water cooler with cups for free water. My first-time selection was Laing, which is taro leaves cooked in coconut milk, to which they added shrimp. I got the smallest bowl, and they included one good-sized shrimp. I also was tempted by the grilled salmon, which turned out to be rather acidic and tart - in a good way, like sinigang. At first I thought the cost of the two dishes was rather pricey - around $20 - but realized I'd be getting three meals out of it, which makes it a good deal. While I prefer other Filipino restaurants in the area as my go-to, if you're already shopping in the store, it's not a bad place to grab lunch - portions can easily be shared by two small Asians lol.

    Located inside of Seafood City in Waipahu is Grill City. Theres a really large selection of Filipino food here as well as "street food" lots of grilled and fried items on sticks. I'll admit I was a little overwhelmed because although being local I know some Filipino foods Wow theres a lot that i dont know about. They serve dinner plates as well as ala carte. The chicken and pork Bbq sticks were really yummy although I thought it was a little expensive for $4.50 each. I also sampled the Liempo which is like a grilled pork chop. Aldo a little pricey for $8.50 ala carte. We also picked up 1 pound of fresh fried chicken skins for 10$ perfect for grinding at baseball games. Those were winnah! Overall...I thought there was a good selection of Filipino foods and the seating area was large and clean. I'll probably be back to try other goodies next time. Cool place to check out in waipahu.

    Only now am I writing this? I don't know how many times I've been here but I do know I've gotten more then the BBQ sticks. They offer traditional Filipino dishes. It's a fast food line setup with everything from pork to fish to veggies to some beef to some more pork dishes. And yes sometimes I see balut in the street food section. It's roughly the same set up as Panda Express or my most recent visit to San Francisco's FIL-AM (l know you read those reviews). Now most of the food is average and prices are reasonable. And there are bundle and daily specials. These will save you a couple of bucks. I inform you that most dishes are average but the sticks are good. They are sweet with the amount of sugar they use but watching them grill the chicken and/or pork sticks is satisfying to watch. Overall three stars. If you're looking to satisfy your Filipino craving quickly this is a good place to start. Now excuse me, I see halo halo :) M

    Tuesday's Mid week special , $25.95. 4 bbq stick, 2 order pancit bihon & house dessert.

    I remember when Seafood City just opened, we were huge fans of Grill City, we would make stops here for lunch after our grocery shopping. It has been years since we last stopped here at Grill City. It is either a hit or miss. During one of my visits I saw their sign for the MID-WEEK WOW specials and out of the 3 daily WOW, Tuesdays is my favorite. The WOW starts on Tuesday and ends on Thursdays. (The Mid Week Wow specials are pictured in Tips) Unable to drive out to Waipahu during the mid week, butdue to being off of work because of the Covid19 Pandemic, I made a special trip out, actually I also needed essentials grocery items and pastries from Valerios. I got everything all in one trip, so it was worth the drive. The Tuesday special consists of 4 pieces pork or chicken BBQ, 2 servings of Pancit Bihon and choice of 16oz dessert for $25.95, savings of up to $14.00. I also picked up a large order of garlic rice from another business to eat with this meal. Tuesday March 31, 2020 was also The Great American Takeout, which was perfect, I chose Grill City as my Great American take out. Grill City is famous for authentic Filipino grilled favorites like pork & chicken barbecue, grilled pork belly, stuffed squid, inihaw talapia, pompano and bangus. Also serves classic Filipino favorites like adobo, kare-kare, sinigang, bopiz, and menudo. I got half pork and chicken for the BBQ sticks, it is always hard to remove the meat off the sticks, I don't really know how to eat those sticks, biting off the sticks is not safe as the tips are sharp. Be careful, when eating the BBQ sticks, I try my best to take them off the sticks before eating them. The BBQ meat is more on the sweet side. The pancit bihon is not the best I've had, it was cooked with veggies,shrimp balls and tiny shrimps, never tried it this style before. I always grab the puko pandan dessert and that is my favorite out of the rest of the desserts. The best one is the buko pandan, I am actually addicted to this dessert. If you love buko pandan and are a fan of coconut, tapioca, and jelly - You must get try this dessert. It is super good, I just love how all the ingredients taste so great together. I would stop by just for this dessert. The service is not the greatest due to the language barrier. The cashier didn't quite understand my order and she also didn't even know about the daily Tuesday special and I had to show her the sign. Overall, no need to cook dinner that night, we dined on Grill City's Mid-Week Wow deals and the grand finale was the buko pandan dessert!! I am needing my buko pandan fix soon!

    Choice of brekfast meat, (yes filipinos eat fish for breakfast lol) tomato salad, 2 cozy eggs, and 2 heaping fluffy scoops of garlic rice!

It's situated between Far East Sushi and the laundromat. There is plenty of free parking available throughout the shopping center. We visited on a Monday at 7:00 a.m. Please note that the restaurant will be undergoing renovations, so it's a good idea to call ahead to confirm their current hours. SERVICE: The woman who took our order was friendly and patient, especially since we were the only customers at the time. Our food was prepared fresh after ordering, and the wait was very short. TASTE: We ordered the Meat Jun Bowl, which included rice, sliced meat jun, scrambled eggs, diced pickled takuan, and long rice. The meat jun had good flavor, but unfortunately, no dipping sauce was provided. A packet of shoyu was included, but it wasn't a suitable substitute for the traditional meat jun sauce. Rating: 3/5 We also tried the Chicken Bowl, which came with rice, sliced BBQ chicken, diced pickled takuan, and long rice. The chicken had a delicious BBQ flavor, and the banchan complemented the dish well, making for a satisfying combination. Rating: 4/5 PRICE: From 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., the breakfast bowls are priced at $5.70, making them a very affordable option. OVERALL: Overall, it was an okay experience. The Chicken Bowl was the standout, while the Meat Jun Bowl could have been much better with the proper dipping sauce. I'm looking forward to visiting again after the renovations are complete and hope to see some improvements.

We can deal with it being kinda in the ghetto of Waipahu but it was the very unhappy (clearly annoyed) counterperson who was taking our order - who SNAPPED AT MY MOM because she was confused with what comes with their plate lunch AND then the cook (assumedly - a different person than who took our order) annoyingly brought our items out to the table. She ordered the chop steak - I thought tasted ok, but it was seasoned heavier than my mom would like. Portion was right for the price. I got their signature Loco Moco burrito - SAD. It was $20, majority rice and mac salad, no meat. I needed a knife to cut the burrito in half, there was no counterperson or anyone available to ask for a knife, so I kind of looked around their register area and found a random one on the side, cut the burrito in half, DEFINITELY NOT how they showed it on TV, if the counterperson came back, I probably would have asked for them to swap it out. We were sitting for about 25 mins - nobody came back to the counter? If it wasn't for the counterpersons unfriendly attitude I was planning to buy their signature dessert to go, but I was turned off by the whole experience AND he didn't come back out anyways until literally I was throwing our containers away. He didn't greet us. Thank us. Ask how everything was. Or say anything when we were leaving. We saw the owners on TV and are happy and glad to support a local business BUT NOT when your employees are rude and unfriendly. $45 - 1 mini plate + 1 signature item and 2 cans of soda, I would SKIP this place

The chicken inasal was more on the huli huli side & was served with Filipino dipping sauce. They also offer free sabaw with your meal. Ordering was a little complicating, they have a menu outside with food and also more food inside. The bbq items were cooked by order and the inside food had more of the Filipino dishes like (adobo). But next to the cashier, you could also find other fried dishes as well. So a little complicated. You also have the option to sit outside under the tent or inside the restaurant with AC. For this type of place, if you're dining in, you order & eat first then pay. Like any karindera. Overall, this place was VERY good & SUPER AFFORDABLE.
