So the name has changed and it's called E&J Pinoy BBQ now. And the prices have gone up from the menu that is shown, I only found out when I paid. Ordered their combo #2 for a party and it was a great amount of food. The chicken teriyaki was super tender and the pork belly was great too except the skin was a little hard. The chicken inasal leg and thigh was good as well! Would try again. read more

I got the coconut bibingka on a whim cuz they looked so good. It's pretty pricey, maybe about 6 bucks each, but they're so good. Not overly sweet or greasy. It's soft and airy and the young coconut pieces inside gives a nice texture. It's also available in ube, next time. Also got the tahoe on a whim cuz they had a banner with picture outside. Similar like the one in dimsum but the syrup is sweeter and thicker and there's some tapioca balls, make sure to mix the syrup. They offered to heat up but I took home as is, since I won't be eating it right away. Located inside 99 ranch. read more

Tony's Barbecue - Filipino Near Me - Alhambra, California

I got the bangus meal and the 2pork stix and 1 chicken stick meal, and on the 4th of July the meals came with free sodas! Our total was around $35~ which I feel like is a little steep for these kind of meals, but it did come with rice and soup! The staff was kind, and she told us our food would take about 20min. It did end up taking 20-30ish minutes I think, but that's fine. Food was made fresh, and it was pretty good I'd say. Yummy yummy!!! The tables are inside this 99 ranch, but that's kind of the vibe. We did our shopping and then we got our food and ate. It hit the spot personally, but I don't know if I'd be back. I could definitely make it for less, but it did come with soup...and it was really good. I don't know. Long wait, a little expensive, but still delicious and a nice staff. If you've never had filipino food, definitely check it out, but if you're filipino, probably just stick to nanay or lola's cooking. read more

Tony's Barbecue - pompano - Filipino Near Me - Alhambra, California

Filipino food in the 626! Stopped by AAA to visit their DMV service. Then came into Ranch 99 to check out Tony's BBQ. Picked up some chicken bbq and pork bbq. Then saw they had Taho and halo halo so tried them as well. Pick up a tray to bring to Super Bowl parties or gatherings.. but be sure to order 3 days ahead of time. They have a lot of seafood options which I might try next time. Call ahead of time or order first then go shopping everything is made after you order except for baked goods. read more

10/19/24 THIS location, hands down, make DA BEST bibingkinitan! I can't believe I haven't dropped a review here! Okay, mainly for their bibingka, they have definitely earned their 5 stars-- based solely for these! This is probably the 5th or 6th time between me & Hubby getting these great tasting treats. One time i brought some for the crew at work & they totally loved the bibingka. I have tasted these at other Tony's locations but it's better here. It's perfectly not too sweet, just the right amount of savory from the salted egg & the consistency of the dough? Fluffy, plump, moist. Brings me back to my childhood. This shop is inside of the 99 Ranch market, they do catering & offer complete meals (fried rice, bbq sticks, pancit, etc). Theres not too many Filipino establishments that I would endorse because most places are inconsistent in their delivery (food, ambience, service). I wouldn't consider Tony's as fast food but they're fairly quick in their prep for your order. If in the area (or not), will surely return, you betcha! read more

I get my Filipino craving in Alhambra at Tony's BBque. The pork liempo is marinated and grilled to perfection and served with Java rice. It comes with a side of pickled veggies called atchara. You have to wait since they cook as you order so it's hot and warm. If you don't want to wait, order in advance. It's a fast food court so best to enjoy at home as to go, they also sell small rice cakes called Bibingka and also peanuts with lots of garlic. read more

50$ with tax for a dozen skewers (42$ for 12 before tax). The skewers aren't out of this world, but good. Purchased 1/2 pork and 1/2 chicken. I was hesitant about the chicken but they were perfectly juicy for chicken skewers! They also wrapped their dipping sauce in Saran Wrap which I appreciate the thoughtfulness of doing so! I've had plenty of sauces spill at other places due to the cheaply made containers.. Also, first time trying their Bibinka-- like a spongy cake with a slight coconut taste and the inside has a salted yolk (like a moon cake almost!) and a cream filling. Get one!! Located inside 99 Ranch with easy parking. I would come again if there was a skewer craving at home! read more

I love traditional Filipino food but wanted to try out the BBQ style cooking. I asked the cashier what's the most popular combo meal and she said it was the pork belly, so that's what I ordered. The order came with pork, rice, teriyaki sauce, and an egg soup. The meal cost 17 bucks but it could have included a bit more yummy rice. I forgot how fatty the pork belly is but I enjoyed the meal. read more

Tony's Barbecue - Liempo (Grilled pork belly)! So good! - Filipino Near Me - Alhambra, California

Tony's barbecue has been on my radar for a while now; never had the chance to try it til now for a friend's birthday. I ordered online for a party of 8-10 people. I will say that the portioning of food is great for the price! Be warned, you'll need at least 30 mins before hand if you dont want to wait for your food for family combos. Here's what I ordered: Family Combo 2: Grilled Liempo / Chicken Inasal thigh and leg / Tuna Collar I do say that the Tuna and the liempo were the highlights of the choices. Tuna collar does not dissappoint as I would liken it to how japanese style yellowtail collar is made, salted and put under a salamander/oven. Liempo had a good fusion of tender juicy meats and slightly chewy skin all marinated and grilled. The Chicken Inasal was tender and juicy too I might've had a bit too much tuna and pork to remember the taste accurately though. It comes with peanut sauce and what I assumed was a soy sauce based Filipino one. They aren't necessary but I would have more of the peanut sauce with the pork! Java rice 8 scoops: It's probably my palette, but I couldn't really taste what made the difference between the java rice and normal white rice. Online google says java rice includes tumeric/annatto. I would definitely need to look more into it the next time I try it! I never knew that Tony's had 3 different locations, made planning for the event very convenient. Alhambra's location is located in a 99 Ranch no less so parking was not an issue. Upon arrival at the restaurant, the staff were courteous on updating me about the status of my order as well as checking to see if I needed cutlery/napkins. Should I have events in the area, I would love to support them again! read more

3 lbs of pork Lechon that is good only for Lechon paksiw! So disappointing coz it was my first time to order from them.

I found myself here one day and decided it give it a go. Lots of choices on the menu. I wish they had more combo choices because I would've loved to sample multiple items. I settled on the pork skewer plate. Marinated and grilled, there were three in the order. Good portion. Came with rice, a cup of soup, and some pickled vegetables. Satisfying meal. With a bottle of water, it was like $23. read more

Tony's Barbecue - Pork 3 piece - Filipino Near Me - Alhambra, California

First time at Tony's Barbeque. It was pretty good. I mainly came here to try their bibingka. We ordered a meat platter and chose liempo, teriyaki pork, chicken inasal. The portion was generous. Both The liempo and pork teriyaki was sweet from the marinade as expected. The chicken was moist and flavorful. I also ordered tuna belly and bbq skewers on the side. In the future, I probably will stick to bbq skewers instead of liempo. The bibingka was good and I was order again. I'll stick to the original flavor. I did try one Ube bibingka which was okay, but not worth the upgraded price since it barely had any Ube flavor at all and only had a dollop of Ube filling. read more

This was probably the worst customer service experience i've had in a while. The person taking my order didn't know how to use the POS system, made a mistake with my order and charged me extra to fix it. Absolutely ridiculous like wtf is this. Haven't even tried the food yet, absolutely do not care if it's good or not. Will not be back. read more

We always ordered the skewers and they are consistently good. We love the bbq here. We tried other dishes but will just come back to skewers. We tried the cup cake thing and the rice other rave about but we thought they were only ok. So we dont usually order, just the meat. The food is usually salty enough so we never use any of the sauce they give us. One less star because the wait time is no joke. I've learned to call ahead and even so I cannot always pick up when I arrive. Come when you have at least 30min and when you are not in a rush . The food is worth the wait, so learn to time accordingly. read more

Tony's Barbecue - Menu prices as 02/15/2025 - Filipino Near Me - Alhambra, California

Tony's Barbecue is located inside 99 Ranch Market. They specialize in Filipino style BBQ plates and Coconut-Rice Cake (Bibingka). Service is very welcoming and food is made to order. A small wait time is expected (5mins = 15 - 20mins). Depending on how busy they are, the wait can be longer, I'd avoid this place if your pressed on time. Now on to the food, we ordered: The grilled bbq boneless milkfish was truly delicious! It comes with a side of Java rice, egg drop soup, pickled papaya condiment, and a sauce similar to a lemon soy sauce mix like Japanese ponzu. This was a favorite and I'd get it again. The grilled pork belly is another solid option if your not worried about cholesterol levels; the pork was marinated nicely with a good texture. I saw that the grilled sea bass and giant squid were popular items as well... I will have to try that next time. Coconut-Rice Cake. Now am not an expert on Filipino cuisine, but these Bibingka were GREAT! The smell, flavor, and texture was so good! The middle section of the Bibingka had salted egg and cream cheese; it was the traditional regular one offered. Tony's also makes an Ube and Macapuno version. Overall the bbq plates were great, super affordable, just the wait time needs to be communicated more clearly or directly. read more

Tony's Barbecue - bib in Bibingkinitan - Filipino Near Me - Alhambra, California

I got the Lechon Paksiw it was absolutely delicious! Staff were nice and friendly too!

I've tried this place once before and now I remember why I haven't been back. Everything we got was very bland. The beef ribs had no seasoning and it was heavily dependent on the sauce that comes with all orders, I believe. Secondly, the bbq chicken was undercooked. The bibingka, however, was pretty much its saving grace. Not sweet but the filling was good. read more

Tony's Barbecue - Pork belly liempo, chicken inasal, and sea bass meal - Filipino Near Me - Alhambra, California

I'm sure the food is fine, but waiting 25 minutes for 3 sticks of bbq is ridiculous. Don't come here expecting to eat right away. I watched them cook 4 chicken quarters (one at a time) and THEN place my skewers to cook. Terribly inefficient - nice that they cook to order but why couldn't you cook my skewers alongside the previous order? Advice - Find a way to improve efficiency when cooking multiple orders. I know there must be a way to do that. read more

Food: 5/5 (dessert only) Service: 4/5 Ambiance: N/A Price: $ ($2.50 each) This review is solely for their Bibingkinitan, which is a type of cake they sell at Tony's Barbecue. I can't believe I found this spot while I was grocery shopping at 99 Ranch Market. I've been craving this dessert since my trusted bibingka shop in Santa Clarita closed due to COVID. The dessert was amazing! It was soft like a cake, topped with cream cheese and salted egg (?) if i'm not mistaken. I'm so glad that I found this place because it is so hard to find a restaurant that makes this type of dessert. If you haven't tried one, you're missing out! I highly recommend them. Pro Tip: order togo and then throw some whipped butter or butter on top of them and you're golden. Reheat if it's necessary because you need to enjoy it while it's hot! read more

Tony's Barbecue - Bibingkinitan (A dessert cake) - Filipino Near Me - Alhambra, California

I was excited to see this place open up and increase the availability of some Filipino food in our area. True, it's pretty much just bbq, but I love Filipino barbecue. Don't forget to call it in bc it takes 15-20 min to cook. I ordered the 2 pork/1chicken stick combo which comes w a side of egg drop soup, Java rice, atchara, and bbq sauce. Filipino bbq isn't at all like American/southern bbq. The soup was bland. The meats were marinated and grilled with a sweet soy garlic based sauce. The pork was delicious but had some pretty big chucks of fat. The chicken appeared to be boneless dark meat and not as flavorful- but you've got sauce to dip it in. The atchara (pickled green papaya, onions, carrots) was perfectly sweet and sour. 7/10 For dessert, I ordered the wow taho to go. The cashier instructed me on how to heat up the taho and the sago/sauce which came in two separate containers. $8 for one order. It was good. 5/10 read more

Tony's Barbecue - Location - Filipino Near Me - Alhambra, California

i actually like this place better than the one in panorama city. i think food, specially the bibingka taste better.

Ordered 10 lumpia for $9.65 and it was not worth it at all. The flavor was like a dumpling filling and the lumpia was 2 inches. Considering it's about $10 I expected a bigger portion but for that small of a portion, I would not get it again. I had to wait for the server to finish the phone call for an phone order before she got to my order. I don't mind waiting, but i was tempted to just leave. Overall, expensive and mediocre. However, the place seems to be only ran by 2 people so i'll give them the benefit of the doubt. read more

It's sad this place is not well known because it's delicious! I ordered based on Yelp reviews, the 3 pork skewers and chicken teriyaki. Each for $15 comes with flavored rice two sauces (pickled carrot/radish viet-style and a peanut tasting teriyaki sauce), soup (like spicy egg drop) well packaged layered with tin foil bottom 3 utensil and napkin setting. I loved the skewers so tender and flavorful (has fat) while my hubby preferred the chicken (leaner but still tender). Each element has its own flavor and tasted great in its own but also compliments each other. Good value just the wait from order to pick up is long; so order first, go shopping, then pick up. Since lady in front highly encouraged the rice cake (not sure what's it called), we ordered one to try. If you like coconut, it's a must try. Super soft almost sponge like bottom with crusty cake-like top. read more

FOOD - Good. We were happy with the grilled squid ( not chewy at all! **** for that! ) and sea bass. Egg flower soup was a bit on salty side and its just warm and not hot. The rice, was ok. West Covina branch for some reason has more flavorful rice for me. The pork BBQ skewer good, not dry or chewy. Lechon paksiw was just ok. Not a big fun of it. Over all flavor wise, personally prefer the West Covina branch. Ambiance - Probably will not do it again, dine in I mean. Just not a good place to sit down, eat and catch up. If your in a hurry and just need to grab and bit and get going, will work. We went coz my friend never try any Filipino stuff before. Service - Shes ok. You give your order and pay, thats about it. Not much interactions after. read more

On a Wednesday night in April, I was in the area and decided to try Tony's for dinner. I've parking in front of the 99 market and it looked dead at Tony's. It was my first time there and ordered something safe 2 chicken skewers plate with rice and soup. The cashier was nice and took my order. While waiting, people stopped by to pick up their orders as I wait for 10min. My dinner was like the photo on their wall. The chicken skewers had flavor as I took a bite. The bbq sauce inside the container was really good when I dipped the chicken skewer pieces. The orange rice was moist and it had flavor. I also enjoyed the egg drop soup. Next time I will try other dishes. read more

Just because it looks like fast food and found inside the food court area of 99 ranch doesnt mean it will be fast. it took them 20 minutes to hand me my food. I was late to pick up my kiddo from school. But the food was perfect as with all Tonys BBQs. I had pork bbq skewer meal, 10pc chicken all for $32. Happy to have lunch taken care of, but the anxiety of being late was - ugh. Oh, and the cashier made a mistake with my order too, and erroneously tried to charge me +$6 for peanuts. They refunded it manually, meaning they had to give me cash. So always check your receipts! This is located inside 99ranch, so the parking is ample. Also located in the same square with a Jollibee by the street. BOTTOMLINE: Delicious BBQ but skip if youre in a hurry! and always check your receipts! read more

I need to go back and try all the other BBQ options! First time trying I opted for the pork skewers meal and a babingka. Babingka was a surprise! The cake on the outside is very moist and fluffy sweet n savory and very delicious! The inside has cream cheese and I think salted egg, a bit too salty for me but still a good combo with the sweet cake. Pork skewers were bomb!! Very tender. Dunked in their house special BBQ sauce, perfect!! The BBQ sauce is like a sweet dark soy sauce style, but it gives off this fermented honey kinda vibe, full of umami and just delicious goodness! Complimentary soup is similar to egg drop soup without the egg. Nothing special but soothing. Pro TIP: if picking up, call in your orders. Can take 15-25 mins depending on how busy they are. If you are shopping you can place your order and pick up later. read more

I've been here 3 times and it's been a hit or miss. My most recent trip I phone ordered a 3 piece chicken leg meal & was told it would be ready in 15 minutes. I got there 25 mins after I called cause IYKYK, this spot is typically slower with their prep. As I was paying I asked is my order ready and was told YES. After my payment was taken I was told it would be a few more minutes which turned into another 10 minutes. Like WOW! They actually didn't start cooking my chicken until I got there, why take phone orders or tell your customer come in 15 mins? From what's posted on the menu board I ordered a 3 chicken legs/drumsticks meal. What the board doesn't say is they serve legs & thighs (see pic). I checked my order and went back and asked am I missing a leg, I was told since the chicken was so small they gave me a extra tiny thigh. At least tell your customers beforehand with any substitutions. This second dishonesty really irritated me. Food - Char was good, flavor is slightly on the sweeter side like a light teriyaki. It was cooked nicely. A garlic rice option would make the meals better IMO. Soup tasted like egg drop. Pop some pepper and it's good to go. I love supporting local businesses, but I'll probably stay away for a few months before I give this spot another try. They also don't have everything on their menu, make sure to call them if you want something specific & are not in the mood for something else. read more

Saw this new addition inside the 99 Ranch Market and wandered over. While I was perusing the menu and pictures, the worker in the front greeted me warmly. I initially wasn't sure I was gonna order anything but the guy was so friendly and helpful that I ended up ordering the Liempo - pork belly. I added a bibingka since it's part of their sign - I figured it had to be good. The food was ready within the quoted time (10-15 min). I read some reviews complaining about the wait times so I don't know if I just got lucky or the kitchen has gotten better with their production. I was also their off peak meal hours too. Anyways I got the food piping hot and it smelled mouth watering. The pork belly was tender, juicy and I liked that it was cut up into little pieces so I didn't have to go all carnivore ripping and tearing into big chunks. This is filipino bbq so the flavor is on the sweet side but the charred sugary soy harmonizes well with the rich fattiness of the pork belly. The rice was a deep shade of orangey-yellow but didn't really have any discernible flavor which was slightly disappointing but it wasn't a big deal though because the pork belly was so delicious. I just mixed the tangy vinegary sweet pickle condiment it came with and made it 5x better. The Bibingka was amazing! I've only had bibingka one other time from this place that supposedly specialized in bibingka, which was pretty good, but this one blew it out of the water. It was kinda like a Cantonese steamed sponge cake but also totally unique. It was very tender and not too sweet, a slight savory top (like salted egg?) and had a small chunk of cream cheese surprise in the middle. Will definitely visit again to try other items. read more
