    The grocery store is more than a grocery! There are a variety of items to choose from! I keep finding these hidden gems! The cashier told me that they've been open for two years. The Filipino Gallery filled with traditional items is so awesome! The prices are low! The produce is fresh. There's a bakery yummy yummy! They clean and fry fish you purchase up until 8pm. There are so many choices of fresh fresh fish! The produce is fresh too! Just come see what they have to offer! We love eating here! I fell like I'm in the Philippines when I'm here!

    The food looks beautiful here, the people are nice but the flavor of my food wasn't beautiful or nice. It was kind of barfy tbh. I love Filipino food, especially pinakbet so I was happy when my husband bought me some. Sadly it tasted spoiled so I chucked it. He bought pancit and thought it was okay but it tasted off to me too. The fried chicken skin and halohalos were fire though. Highly recommend those two items. 2 stars because the pinakbet seriously tasted old & rotten. The eating area was clean, and like I said, food is pretty but I didn't like it. (Philhouse in Island Pacific Market is a thousand times better imho.) Would go back for their fried chicken skin & halohalo though.

    Since we do not have one in town, we decided to pass by here on our way home. Past lunch time, their Grill City was not too busy even though it was a Sunday. When we got there, we were told that their meals were buy 1 get 1 so I got a barbecue meal for my daughter and half order of fried fish for my mom and saw that each order had two cups of rice which was way more than enough! So, I just got an additional order of grilled squid for myself. My mom wanted halo halo too and as I was paying, they told me that the halo halo was buy 1 get 1, too! So we had all the good stuff plus a lot for leftovers, all for under $40. That is definitely good value for our money! Hopefully, they'll have a branch in town soon. It would nice to have a one-stop shop for wide variety of Filipino groceries and equally delicious yet affordable Filipino food!

    Pancit Bihon, Adobo Baboy, white rice.

    Seafood City Market and City Grill recently opened. I thought I would stop and give City Grill a try for lunch I had the combo with Pork Adobo, Pancit Bihon and white rice The adobo is the sweet version. I day sweet, because my family does not add sugar at all in our adobo. But is was really good. So was the pancit. I'll be back to try somethingnelse.

    Palabok, calamansi juice, and pichi-pichi (cassava dessert rolled in powededed sugar and coconut)!

    I am proud and glad that a Grill City has finally come to Santa Clarita! Honestly what I can say is that if you don't prefer to eat in crowded places, definitely take your food to go. They make it very easy with different kinds of bags, boxes, and packaging depending on what you get. Since it is located inside of the Seafood City market, it is LOUD, crowded, and overall, if I'm being honest, not fine dining at all. Don't get me wrong, they have a seating area if you absolutely need to sit and eat, but it is jam packed and close together. Be ready to squeeze through other people trying to eat their food too! They have a lot of different Filipino dishes to try. It is a long line but they move productively and it moves fast. The workers are as nice and a try to serve you as best as they can, so be mindful that it is a loud environment and there may be some communication issues along the way. Make sure you point and be direct with what you want because the dishes are located really close together in their trays! I will definitely be coming back since my parents shop here for our Filipino food ingredients. Will definitely be taking some more food to go in the future!

    This is an updated review. Food was good tasting, for a lunch combo. I got pork adobo and beefsteak with onions as viands. Typical fatty meats, swimming in oil and melted animal fat. That's what makes them taste good. Delicious? Absolutely! Healthy? Hell no! My tip is trim as much far as you can and don't eat. You'll be saving your heart. Just too much fat. See my attached pictures. All ethnic cooking has lots of fat, a practice inherited from originally poorer cultures, as well as the expense of things. Nothing wrong with that; just be aware. I'm no health nut, but it still makes healthy sense not to consume so much fat.

    Sausage, garlic fried rice, eggs.

    This review is for only the Grill City cafeteria style eatery. You stand in line, point to what you want, someone will ladle it for you on a plate or to go container. Breakfast ends promptly at 10am. I was here early and ordered 2 breakfast combos. It's choice of one meat entree, 2 somewhat poached/fried eggs, and 2 scoops of Filipino garlic fried rice. I had Filipino sausage on one, beef tapa (like a marinated beef jerky, but not that hard) on the other. Sausage was delicious and had a mild sweet flavor. Rice and eggs were better than normal. The tapa, on the other hand, was bland, AND the cashier did not offer to give me spiced vinegar or fish sauce to go with it. Fail #1. NO Filipino style ketchup to accompany this supposed genuine Filipino breakfast. Fail #2. Tough fatty meat used in tapa. They need to eschew, or, to remove tough gristly portions to what they serve. Really, it was tough, and unworthy to have people eat. Fail #3. Lack of napkins, condiments, water stations, Fail #4. Really people, make it good for visitors to enjoy - you at Grill City are ambassadors to Filipino culture! Don't be cheap, chinsey, thrifty for all the wrong reasons. Managers should also do MBWA: management by walking around. Tell your non-Filipino guests what they are experiencing, with an insight to the culture. Is this asking too much to have Filipinos have a place they can be proud of? No. Not trying to be mean, but you're in the SCV now, not Van Nuys. Show your true "Filipino goodness".

    This Vegetable Sisig is a must try! A bit of spicy sauce

They also served it with sauces and a side of liver and I usually don't like some livers but this one had me lickin for more liver. I also had a mango ice cream and it was so refreshing. They said that if they continue to have more customers on Wednesdays that then they will officially decide to also open up on Wednesdays so yall please go there on a Wednesday so that we can still get our Filipino food fix on Wednesdays too. This Maxs is inside the Filipino market in the plaza, and there are a lot of other Filipino food pop ups next to it but this is THE ONE. It's Soooooooooooo good and also Jeff was in charge there that day and is a total sweetheart and their customer service is also really nice.

If you are not familiar with the restaurant, Max's of Manila is a popular restaurant in the Philippines with locations around the world.

    IF ONLY I CAN GIVE THIS PLACE 0 STAR…read more This place is a scam. I ordered ONLY TWO pieces of chicken, and it took over 30 minutes to get my order, even though they had just opened. This isn't the first time this has happened. What I don't understand is that the customer ahead of me ordered an entire tray, yet somehow they couldn't get two pieces of chicken out any faster. It made no sense. To make things worse, I politely asked if my order was almost ready, and the staff completely ignored me. No acknowledgment, no update, nothing. Basic customer service goes a long way, and this experience was extremely disappointing. I won't be coming back.

Tickets can be purchased at www.canyontheatre.org/frozen. I noticed they had a Binagoongan bowl on the menu. I've had pork binagoongan before and really enjoyed its rich, savory shrimp paste flavor, so I asked if this was similar. The staff member explained it was a bowl of rice topped with a little bagoong (Filipino shrimp paste) and the meat. I originally wanted the chicken cutlet version, but it would've taken about 15 minutes, while the pork was ready in 10, so I went with the pork. Unfortunately, the dish wasn't what I was expecting. There was very little shrimp paste flavor, and it ended up tasting more like a pork cutlet served over rice with cucumbers than a true binagoongan-inspired dish. If you're expecting that distinctive, bold bagoong flavor, you may be disappointed as I was. I also tried the chicken empanada. It was decent with a nice flavor, and I appreciated that it used the traditional Filipino-style thicker pastry rather than the flakier, crispier style common in many South American empanadas. It wasn't anything extraordinary, though, and it tasted like it had probably been sitting in the warmer for a while instead of being freshly baked. This was only one meal, and I'm still open to trying some of their other menu items because a few looked promising. If I come back and have a better experience with something else, I'll gladly update this review.

    I thought I had already left a review, but I guess I hadn't!…read more I always make a point to stop by this place for takeout because I love their cooking. It's much better than many of the other Filipino restaurants I've tried in the Valley. Their food isn't overly greasy like some other Filipino places, and everything is always fresh and flavorful. The restaurant is also very clean, including the restroom, which I really appreciate. Ed was the one who prepared my order and he was friendly, helpful, and courteous, making the experience even better. So far, I've tried the dinuguan, chicken tinola, egg rolls, adobong pusit, and sinigang, and every dish has been absolutely delicious! The only downside is that they're about 25 miles from me. Otherwise, I'd probably be eating here every day!

    We're considering using Cebuchon to cater at our wedding near the end of the year, so to help us…read moredecide, we decided to take a couple trips over to try some of their foods. Parking and seating were both plentiful, and they had lots of food options! Their food is so good and flavorful -- definitely good quality food! I especially loved the Sinigang -- it was just the right amount of sour! We've had the liempo, the lechon, sinigang, and chicken adobo. The second time we had visited we hoped to try the BBQ, which was there the first time, but it seemed like they didn't have any, so it looks like we'll have to come back again to try it! As someone who knows alot of the dishes there, I think it's easy for me to decide what I want, but I do think it might be helpful to have name cards on the food area or on the glass so those who are newer to Filipino food may at least know the names of the foods they're looking at. I really enjoy the food & will definitely continue to come back here! Who knows, we may have them at our wedding!

We let her order for us since we are not too familiar with Filipino cuisine and were down for anything! Of course, we know the standard dishes like adobo, lumpia, and pan cit, but this was a whole new world for us. We walked in on the 12th of this month at 4:30pm and were greeted by Roxanne behind the counter. The way this place works is that you can see the hot food in the case as if it were a cafeteria and you tell the employee which ones you want. There are many types of dishes to choose, ranging from seafood to stews, lumpia, rice/garlic rice, and street food style skewers. We tried a little bit of everything! For drinks we tried the Melon drink. They make it in-house and it was FANTASTIC! SO refreshing and really hits the spot on a hot day. We also shared the Calamansi Lemonade (not made in-house) and it was a bit too tangy for my palate. I preferred the Melon drink. For our food, I don't even know where to start. We had a vast variety of items on the table, including: Lumpia, Fried Fish, Garlic Rice, Chicken Adobo, veggie small egg rolls, Sinigang, Pork Dinuguan, Bitter Melon, and Longanisa Sausage. For the street food skewers, we tried a bunch of different ones including Fish Cake, Lobster, Pig Ears, and even Chicken Intestine. This was definitely an adventurous experience and we enjoyed it. Some items more than others, but overall it was a good experience. Some of the food was hot and some of it was just lukewarm. One thing that really disappointed me was that they didn't sell any pan cit. It's my favorite Filipino food and I love noodles in general. I was really looking forward to eating some, but oh well. For dessert, we tried their Buko Pandan drink along with their Halo Halo. They were very delicious and refreshing! Also well balanced and not overwhelmingly sweet. The restaurant is super clean and decently sized. For some reason, the music is louder than usual. They were playing some nice '80s jams when we got there, then they switched to some live Filipino bands, then a DJ Megamix of 2010s pop hits. We could hardly hear our thoughts. That's how loud the music was. So actually, they share this space between two different restaurants. On one end you have Kusina ni Kuya but they are also partnered with the Seafood Boil restaurant next door. They both share the dining area. They have one restroom for men and one for women. Both were clean, but the trash in the women's restroom needed to be emptied. They also offer catering. Parking lot is shared with other businesses. We had a great time catching up with each other and if you're looking for some authentic Filipino food in Northridge, you should check this place out!

I had just finished a short hike at Wilbur Tampa Park Trailhead and had built up a solid appetite. I noticed this place on the drive up and made a mental note to try it--and post-hike felt like the perfect time. Kusina Ni Kuya is located right next to Cajun Ni Kuya, and they share the same dining area. The Kusina Ni Kuya side is more of a traditional Filipino *turo-turo* (point-point) setup, where you choose your dishes cafeteria-style. I went with the **beef sinigang**. I was initially planning to order two entrees, but after seeing the generous portion they served, I decided one was plenty. While eating, I noticed trays of Cajun-style seafood boils coming out to nearby tables--interesting to see, even if it's not really my thing. As for the food, the sinigang delivered. The broth had a nice, balanced tang--sour but not overpowering--and it really hit the spot after the hike. Simple, comforting, and satisfying. **Why 4 stars?** Very solid food and portions, but not quite a standout experience that pushes it into that must-go, 5-star category. **Overall:** A reliable spot for Filipino comfort food--especially if you're coming down from a hike and want something warm and filling.
