Tocino plate
Axel P.

* Who: partner & I * What: random late lunch * When: Saturday a little past noon * Why: hungry after apartment touring * Space/Decor: in a small plaza that had plenty of parking when we arrived. Average space in the sense it's rectangular & like any mom/pop hole in the wall. You step in, tables to your right going all the way back, & left front side has cash register, sweets display, & water dispenser while the rest of the left was the kitchen. Menu was straightforward but could benefit from having a description in case you're not familiar (like my BF). * Service: the reason I'm docking by 1 star. The lady was nice, but not very attentive, & it wasn't like it was busy. We needed to ask or follow up on 2-3 things. My BF was eyeing some dessert when we were first ordering but she didn't try to sell it to us ‍ * Food: surprisingly good as it was both our first time there. He got the adobo bowl & the chicken was tender/juicy & pretty much fell off the bone. I got the tocino plate & the meat was flavorful with just the right amount of garlic in the rice. We also got one chicken skewer & one pork skewer, which was a bit smaller than I'm used to but the smoky flavor & tenderness was spot on. My only issue was the portion compared to the price. * Final Thoughts: mom/pop Filipino food that is great on flavor but leaves something to be desired with customer service. Would recommend & will return again for the food. * Final Grade: B+ or 8.5/10

I'm loving my BIBINGKINITAN

Good Filipino Barbecue's! They have Fish bbq too! TAHO with boba Recommended if you're craving for something different bbq tastes! The Filipino food okay!

Combo plate
Nhi R.

Combo plate came with three pork bbq skewers, rice, pickled veggies, sauce and a soup. The pork bbq was really good, paired with the sauce and pickled veggies - even better. I tried the chicken combo plate and it also was good. Food is made to order, expect a wait. There are plenty of tables to dine in and lots of parking.

wow what a gem in anaheim! The Best Filipino foods in the heart of this business Plaza. Freshly prepared BBQ combos and lots of items to choose from.It feels like home (Manila philippines) where you smell the aroma that's been prepared in the kitchen. They have the Best Pork BBQ and Lumpiang shanghai,it is a must have and also try to grab a bite of their bibingkinitan it is like bibingka and pancake in one! staff are so friendly and welcoming! We will be back for more

Taho To Go

After a long day at Disneyland, my friend reminded me of this place she saw on Instagram. We left DL and we got to the restaurant by 5ish. My friend and I were welcomed and told the staff that it was our first time. She told us the popular items so we ordered a Pork Skewer meal and a Chicken Inasal meal. We also ordered a Halo Halo, Taho and 3 Mini-Bibingkas. We ate our meals and for us, it was pretty good. The chicken was very tender and the pork skewers had a great flavor. We had the rest to go and ate some of it when we got home and the following morning. I appreciated the instructions of how to heat up their Taho which even Chowking doesn't even do. Will go back when we are in the area again. I'll try the seafood next time.

If you've never had Filipino BBQ before, I IMPLORE you to try Tony's BBQ. This was my first time, and one bite I was HOOKED, y'all. SO packed with flavor and everything just tastes so freshly prepared, no MSG and none of that bad stuff. Portions here are crazy good, it's basically double protein from what other places give you. I can totally see why the pork skewers are their bestseller here--SO tender and absolutely delectable--but my faves have got to be the liempo (pork belly) or the GIGANTIC chicken inasal (whole chicken leg). And apparently, people come from all over just for their taho, which is like a tofu pudding dessert??? Confirmed, 10 out of 10 ;) Thanks for reading! ^-^

Our Flavorful Filipino Feast.
Rich N.

What a hidden gem! Tony's Barbecue in Anaheim is a small Filipino restaurant serving up big, authentic flavors. We tried the grilled chicken and pork skewers, pork belly, and grilled seabass--all perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, served with rice on the side. To top it off, we ended the meal with their Halo Halo and fresh-from-the-oven soft bibingkinitan--such a perfect finish. Service was fast and friendly, and the prices are very reasonable. I'll definitely be coming back for another delicious, authentic Filipino meal!

Chicken inasal
Reggie M.

Haven't had inasal since I visited Negros Occidental in May. This surely satisfied my cravings! The only difference I found from eating this meal at a street food stand in Negros was the lack of crushed garlic to add to my rice and the use of calamansi instead of lemon. The chicken oil also seemed to be mixed with the rice already. The food and service were outstanding. Will be back!

My husband found this place online and wanted to try it, and we did on a Tuesday. Parking was a little tight, busy plaza too. Anyway, once inside it is a small restaurant with a few tables. You go up the counter to order and pick your own table. Easy ordering but that's it. The food took about 25-30 minutes to come out, the chicken inasal meal was good but the chicken was thin, the pork bbq was great and the sauce that comes with it. When our food was delivered we told the server we're only missing the bibingkinitan, server told us you get that from counter, which we were not told that information when we ordered. Service did not pass expectations, food was good but nothing to rave about. The lady at the counter looks stressed and overworked. Unless they hire more people to get the food going faster or think of a way to cook it faster, we sadly don't see ourselves coming back often.

Pork bbq meal #1
Martha R.

The food is amazing and instagramable. The flavor is not lacking at all and the price is definitely affordable. The location is tiny from the outside but spacious on the inside and the service is impeccable! They were friendly and welcoming! If you blink driving by you will miss it so don't blink! It's next to Circle K!

Pork BBQ Meal
Art S.

I was pleasantly surprised with Tony's! They were very busy and there was a little wait for my pickup order, but that's when you know the food is gonna be good. Next time, I'll call in my order. We ordered the Chicken Inasal, Pork Bbq, and Bibingka! All very delicious. The meals all come with sabaw, atchara, and sawsawan. I can't wait to go back and try the other entrees! The owner even sold me the last 2 bibingkas and gave me one for free. Thank you ate!

Drove from Oceanside to try this place, I've heard nothing but great reviews so I had to try it…read moremyself! I ordered a platter brisket, char siu, ribs, Cole slaw, coconut rice, and fries. So my friend and I wanted to get a taste of pretty much everything which is why we ordered so much haha also there were some things that were already sold out for the day. Anyway, meats were seasoned well and cooked perfectly. It's a great twist to bbq, Asian bbq def beats the regular! You didn't really need to add any extra sauce since everything was so flavorful but if you did want some they had 3 different ones, not sure the names but I remember one had gochujang. Coconut rice was fire as well!! Service was great the cashier gave us recs on what we should get since it was our first time there and he didn't disappoint! Once we got our food we sat outside, the restaurant has this cool hang out area where you could play cornhole, a playground for kids, and cute chairs for photo ops. Will be back again!

My friend chose this place to celebrate a birthday lunch. Read the other reviews that warned about…read morelittle to no parking and tough street parking. I was prepared for that but luckily I got an open spot right when I got there. My friends weren't so lucky .. they had to parking at the lot 2 blocks away or somewhere on the street. This restaurant is interesting as it took over 2 lots where the houses are at. It's busy around 12:30 pm on a Sunday but luckily the line goes by quick and there are plenty of outside seating in the back that are covered. You mark your selections on a laminated menu then use that to place your order. We ordered a meal with 6 meats and 6 sides: candied pork, siu yuk, pulled pork, brisket, tri tip, and sausage links; sides of fries, Mac n cheese, brioche buns, spicy cucumbers, and cornbread. Pretty easy process where you order, then you get a buzzer and go find a table. Sauces, utensils, napkins and water are self serve. Paper plates provided upon request. Everything was pretty good for the most part except for tri tip.. I'd suggest to skip it, it was dry.. the candied pork was nice and tender and siu yuk is like the Chinese bbq places. We also got a pitcher of mango Palmer to share and it was pretty refreshing. The environment is cool.. after you eat you can walk around and you'll find some play areas for the kids and also Junbi matcha that is connected on the same lot. Will definitely come back to try other meats.

Haven't been here in a while and it still hits…read more I got here late (7pm they close 8pm) and they were sold out of most things but I got brisket and short rib with that colossal bone. After trying the neighboring new bbq spot I won't name.. this places brisket is so much better. I love it here, juicy and great flavor. Some fatty bits but that's where the flavor comes from. and this short rib was bomb! The edges were a bit dry but I'm coming at closing time so I get it. FYI short rib is by weight $40/lb so it was about $50 for it. The sides I got were their macaroni and cheese 10/10 tastes home made! Onion rings were ok. Coleslaw is alright. Good for fiber! lol. I do like their beans and the blueberry bread. I love their nachos but they ran out of nacho cheese. Sad! I gota come back!

Sometimes when I order the Pulled Pork sandwich it's on a brioche bun, sometimes it's on sliced…read moresandwich bread. This kind of sums up the level of excitement you get when you come here. This time they were out of beef and spare ribs, but they still had baby back. (We got the last full rack) Sides are $7. Mac n cheese, blueberry cornbread muffins and onion rings are some of our favorites. You get 2 sides with the full rack, no sides with sandwiches. Today they were also out of nacho cheese but I'm not sure what that goes on? There's a dry erase board when you come in that tells you what's sold out. It's fun to chat with the other guests about what they came for and what they settled for. We always get it To Go now although they do have tables available.

Matiki Island BBQ on Lincoln in Anaheim is the kind of place that makes a family dinner feel easy…read more We went for the island BBQ plate energy, and it delivered. The beef ribs were really good, big and properly cooked, the kind of meat you actually talk about on the way home. The galbi was right there with them, savory and satisfying, and between the two we were set. The kids loved the spam musubi. That alone would have made the stop worth it for us. Spam musubi is one of those things that either works for kids or turns into a negotiation, and here there was no negotiation. They were happy, which meant the adults got to eat in peace for a minute. Dessert sealed it. They have a version of Dole Whip that tastes just like Disneyland. I am not being cute about that. Same soft, cold, pineapple hit you remember from the park, which is a wild thing to get after a plate of ribs in Anaheim. We finished full and already half-planning the next visit. One caveat: it was really smoky inside. Enough that I noticed it the whole meal. If I could give 4.5 I would, but I'm rounding up because the food was that good. Portions felt solid for a plate-lunch place, the vibe was casual and family-friendly, and nothing about the meal felt fussy. If you want Hawaiian-style BBQ with kids in tow, this is still an easy yes. Five stars.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. Whether we eat at the restaurant or get to go, I'm usually…read morealways happy. So when I order, I usually get the pick three or the feast. It's always more food than one sitting, so I'm able to enjoy it for a while I can't get enough of the biscuits and apple butter, so I buy like a little tub of the apple butter and extra biscuits. You can't beat that! My other thing that I love is their a strawberry lemonade. It's really good and it's not too sweet and not too sour. Then comes to barbecue I love the brisket. I love the pork belly and my favorite is always the baby back ribs. They're very generous with their sauce, but just in case a bottle of sauce is totally worth it and available to purchase. I think one time I've been here three times in in one weekend and the service and quality never waivers. There are times the wait is a little longer than usual, but the servers are very communicative of anywait. The restaurant is a little smaller. It's not fit for super large groups maybe like 8 to 10 would be good At most. It does have that old timer feel. So cute!

Good place to get some tasty bbq. I like coming to this location as it's close to the Orange…read moreOutlets. We like coming here to dine right after a long day of shopping. I like getting their trip tip, pork belly burnt ends, and half chicken. Their chicken is quite tasty and juicy. I've never had a dry chicken piece here. I also like to get their lemonade while I munch on my bbq. Their cornbread and apple butter are quite tasty as well. I always get some to take home and enjoy it at a later time. Overall good time here. Our waitress did take while to place our order and the food took forever but we were definitely hungry by then and engulfed our bbq. Will be back again soon!
