Grill City is decent for when you are wanting to pick up a meal to satisfy a craving or for a decent food spot if you're not feeling for anything in the food court or the Filipino spots near by (Jollibee, Red Ribbon, and Chow King). They do have a really nice meal deal during breakfast where if you buy one breakfast combo meal then you get one for free and it seems like they will go past the allotted time as we got it minutes before it ended but they were doing it for customers after us. The food here is alright, it's not really food that tastes like it was prepared with love and care like homemade meal but again just to satisfy a craving or get Filipino food. The BBQ skewers here are good and that's what my boyfriend's mom gets for us whenever she is in the area. The kare kare here was pretty meh and definitely not worth the price. The pancit was decent but I definitely make it better so not worth getting. The chicken tocino at breakfast was delicious and I have not seen chicken tocino served at other Filipino establishments so it was neat that they had that as a option. The coffee you get for breakfast is pretty meh and they didn't offer us any creamer and gave us four sugar packets. The service here is pretty slow for no real reason and the staff doesn't seem to have a sense of urgency. There are plenty of tables and chairs to choose from and they have a good variety of foods available including a slurp alley (dim sum, hot pot and more). They are located inside the Seafood City. read more

Ngl... no just no. I came here on a Monday night cuz I was craving some filipino food and just dropped my buddy off at the airport, so I was like okay Tukwila mall is near and they got a grill city inside the seafood city. So I order some palabok, and I'm excited cuz I'm hungry af lol. Anyways I sit down to eat my food before driving back home and as im on my 3rd bite I notice a strand of hair is sticking to the noodles and my fork and I was like Breh. The hair was long and greasy idk if it's from being in the noodles or cuz it's fresh off of the workers head but Breh. I immediately take photos of the pancit palabok with hair and let the cashier lady know. She tells me "oh wala yan" which in Tagalog means "oh it's nothing", even though im showing her the hair hanging from my fork and still on the noodle, I ask if there's anything she can do about this and she dismisses me and goes back to laughing with her coworkers in the kitchen area. I end up just leaving and throwing my food away. Also not to mention it was around like 8:30pm when I ordered so grill city was super close to closing, they had a bunch of like leftover foods left lmao I don't understand why they can't just make food half off to customers. And also give me a refund for almost ingesting hair in my palabok LMAO. I'm traumatized bruh. I will be contacting seafood city management as well to address this. Cuz not only did I find a greasy hair in my food, but also the customer service at the grill city in tukwila is terrible. read more

Okay, I REALLY want to like this place a lot more than I do, but these poor dumb b@stards just keep shooting themselves in the foot when it comes to service. Is it time for a 'Tough Love' review? The thing about Grill City is that it is unique in how it captures everything I like - and everything I loathe - about Filipino culture. THE ROSES: The selection of dishes is marvelous. The execution is marvelous as well, particularly in regards to anything that is grilled onsite. The char and flavor is spot-on. If there is better, I don't know where it is. Since Grill City is at Westfield Southcenter mall, there is all the free parking you could need. Prices are reasonable for what you're getting. THE THORNS: The ordering system and overall environment is at best chaotic, and at worst a total sh!tshow. All I wanted today was a simple plate lunch. The large video screens offered such a thing called the 'IniWow Combo Plate'. You choose one grilled item, one other item from the steam table, and your choice of either (1) rice, (2) pancit, or (3) a half-and-half combo of the previous two offerings. Trying to actually *get* this from the counterpersons was a whole different song to dance to. My clerk insisted that the only thing I could get was the half-and-half. I tried to explain and point to the screen, but it was no use. Even when my wife, who speaks fluent Tagalog (the Filipino language) tried to intervene, it was for naught. I decided this wasn't the hill I wanted to die on. I simply took what they gave me and ate in sadness. Needless to say I won't be back. I don't like to eat in places that make me feel like a failure. TOP TIP TO MANAGEMENT: It is clear your staff works hard and is eager to please. You need to do a better job of educating them regarding what you have on offer. THE VERDICT: Excellent Filipino cuisine experience is ruined by maddening service. Do not recommend. Go to the Fou Lee market instead. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Grill City - Chicken BBQ (1 Piece) value meal - Filipino Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

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 :) read more

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! read more

I expected much better from this place. Prices have gone way up, yet the quality of the food has clearly gone down. For what they're charging now, I expect fresh food--and that's not what I've experienced. The food tasted like it had been sitting out all day. The rice tasted old and dried out, and the BBQ pork also lacked freshness, as if it had been reheated multiple times. That's unacceptable at these prices. It's especially disappointing because Filipino food is known for being flavorful and comforting. For many non-Filipinos, this may be their first exposure to Filipino cuisine, and unfortunately, this doesn't leave a good impression. In a well-known establishment like Seafood City, Grill City should be setting a higher standard--not cutting corners. This wasn't a one-off experience. I thought the first time might have just been a bad day, so I gave it another chance. Same result: underwhelming food and noticeable decline in quality. Grill City/Seafood City--please focus on food quality instead of sacrificing it for higher margins. Filipino food deserves better. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

Absolutely NO! This place recycles the leftovers items that don't get sold for the day, the bbq pork tasted awful! We were so hungry and ordered some bbq pork. It was so disappointing. There's no need to mention what could you do to improve! Note! No star read more

The quality of their food has declined significantly and got more expensive. You would think as expense goes up, quality increases. This is not the case. Their grilled squid has gotten smaller and there is no more stuffings like onion and tomatoes. The barbecue on the stick cuts are a bit smaller and also have gotten more expensive. They used to be six for 12 dollars or so. Now, it's 4 for 16. Totally not worth it coming here. read more

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.

Grill City - Grilled Pork Liempo (1 Serving) - Filipino Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend the BBQ and menudo.

This place is a magnet for hungry people, so be prepared to wait in line depending on what day you visit and it also wouldn't hurt if you speak tagalog. They've renovated and redesigned the whole dine in section as well as add a fry area on the weekends (all types of fried food on sticks and coffees or coconut drinks). Food is reasonably priced and authentic. My parents live an hour away so when I'm craving some ginitang or pinakbet or the many other Filipino dishes I cant cook I come here. If you know Filipino culture you know its hard to control social distancing, especially when standing in a queue to eat. Everyone's kind of on top of each other trying to look and see what's available that day. But the food is good and I would come on a weekday morning to avoid the crowds if you're planning on visiting. read more

Ugggghhhhh I'm so frustrated about rating this place as i was pretty excited to get some food here. This place was between a 2-3 stars but I decided to round it up because I can see myself coming back for certain dishes. First, in order to even get into this place, you would need to have a mask. "No mask, no entry". I learned that the hard way and was denied of entry last week when I tried coming here. Anyways, pricing here is weird to me, the skewers and ala carte sides was super expensive for what you get, but everything else was reasonably priced. For 1 small skewer, it's $4.99, I can easily get 2-3 for the same price in the ID and probably for a bigger size as well! I ended up not getting it even though that was what I wanted in the first place because it's pricey. For the ala carte, you can get a small cup of deli stuff for $7! The cup is literally the size of a McDonald's parfait cup. On the other hand, breakfast combos are a great deal, between $4-7, you can easily get a hearty breakfast that will last you to dinner! Their value meals aren't bad either. You get a protein, a side and rice and it can cost you between $10-$13 depending on which protein you get. I got the squid. They gave me a pretty generous portion of squid which was nice and it was tasty as well. So, I wanted to get this entree with no rice, and they wouldn't let me. If I didn't want rice, I couldn't get the sides and it would cost me $9 for the squid. So, I had to get the rice in order to get everything else...so I ended up getting rice...they gave me a lot of it too but I find that weird. As for my side, I got the coconut curry with veggies and the curry was light in flavor but good We also got some liempo and bangus that was already prepacked and they were reasonably priced and good as well. Overall, service could be better, and pricing of certain things could be better, but it was ok. I would come back if I'm in the area read more

The food is not bad but the service is absolutely slow. There's only one person taking orders and the line is always long. I waited 30 minutes to get only chicken skin. Also I see a lot of cross contamination with the tongs, knives, and cutting boards. I found a fish inside my bag of chicken skin. I also saw everything being fried in the same fryers read more

Very disappointed with this food joint. Wanted to get the BBQ chicken, though we waited for 30-45 mins, they were keep on preparing the Pork. Not sure whether they ran out of chicken or because of demand. In the end we gave up decide to try Bongus. It was just ok. No salt or flavors. Way overpriced. Service is decent. read more

Disgusting! Food was dry, over cooked and spoiled! Service was very rude too.

Don't be surprised if you get sick or parasites!! By the time we got home after a 30min drive, the food was SPOILED...tossed it in the garbage! I'd give it a negative -10 read more

Terrible lots of the food was grilled hours ago, it looks good but don't b fooled unless u happened to get fresh, I had the squid, I love grilled squid this was mushy inside plastic like outside. And it was not cheap, $13 for the squid $4 for one bbq pork stick drenched in sweet sauce. read more

Came here for lunch with a friend after we looked at a space for a holiday party. I haven't been to any of the Filipino places at Southcenter Grill City located right outside of Seafood City Grocery. Meaning once you are done shopping and check out it's right there in the same building. My friend is Filipina I wanted to try something I've never had meaning no pancit or lumpia. Was amazed at all the grilled meat selections and different fish. We ordered a number of items but of course had leftovers. We had BBQ Inihaw, stuffed pompano, grilled bangus, laing, ginataang puso ng saging and calamansi juice. My favorite was the stuffed pompano it was stuffed with garlic and tomatoes lots of flavor. The bangus was a little dry and the calamansi juice tasted like it had something else mixed in my friend agreed. What I was really surprised about liking was the laing (taro leaf with meat or seafood cooked in thick coconut milk spiced with labuyo chili, lemongrass, garlic, shallots, ginger, and shrimp paste) love this one had a nice kick to spicy for my friend though, and ginataang puso ng saging (banana heart, diced pork in coconut sauce) didn't think I would like a vegetable cooked down that much but both had great flavor and were distinctly different. For it being a fast food style where you pick items to go they were fast. I wouldn't have known what to order id my friend wasn't with mw I'm glad she got a good variety for me to try. We picked up a turon (banana sweet lumpia) at the little bakery near the entrance towards the inside of the mall perfect bite size and nicely caramelized on the outside. read more

Love that this is pickup, although the process was pretty rough and it didn't seem they had the ordering system down with Ubereats. The price was right at just above $10 for a stuffed grilled bangus fish and a side, which I picked as pork adobo. There's a vast array of other Filipino dishes here that I'd love to try, but what I picked this time around was tasty. The best? Probably not. But the fish was sufficiently grilled, the veggie filling tangy and complemented well. The adobo had a sweet and savory soy sauce, with a good amount of fattiness in the broth and some of the meat. But it gets the job done if you're in the mood for some fast, authentic tasting takeout. read more

I really want to give them a 3 Stars, but the more I type, the more I decided they really are 2 stars only. I do think there are better Filipino food elsewhere. I have ordered food here with my mother-in-law in the past, basic entrees, pansit, and BBQ. I don't remember them to be great; her food is better. :) I haven't been here for at least half a year, and the layout and food offering are different. There's a dedicated BBQ station, a good selection of whole grilled fish and squids, the typical ready-to-scoop entrees that I don't easily recognize, some custom drinks, and a separate area called Pinoy Street Foods. The BBQ and seafood area looks the most attractive. I have never found their ready to scoop entrees to even look appetizing. Why does everything always looked so overcooked? They are either drowning in sauce or drying out where the edges are curling. This was dry years ago, and it's still dry during this visit. The Pinoy Street Foods area look poorly filled, but I can't really blame them. There just aren't that many customers. I remember it to be much more hopping at all hours on the weekend. The price is on the high side for everything across the board. They do have an expensive address, being in Southcenter Mall itself. If you're in the area, I'd say it's worth choosing a thing or two, but I wouldn't feed a group with the food. We chose the grilled squid. It is nicely charred. The tentacles are quite tough, which I don't mind. The body portion was perfectly tender. This was a good selection. 2 large whole squids for $15.99. Luckily, I didn't face the wrath of any mean old ladies that others mentioned. She even let me choose my squids. read more

Grill City is a place I go to whenever I'm in the area for my Filipino fix! As you may know, it's hard to find some bomb ass Filipino food in Seattle or the Eastside, so options are limited. I'm thankful though that Grill City exists. Grill City is located in Seafood City in the Southcenter Mall, where all the other Filipino specialty eateries are. You wait in line, pick from the already-cooked food on the counter and if dining in, find a seat nearby. The dining area is always packed and loud AF. Many Filipino families tend to come here and dine in. I usually get my grub to go, especially because when there is a spot open in the dining area, it's always dirty with food scraps. Yeah, plan accordingly. Food is not bad though. They have your classic Filipino dishes (adobo, pata, lumpia) and BBQ that usually attracts all those who come to Grill City. They also do party trays and catering! My go-tos are pancit and BBQ pork. Everything else I've tried is A-OK. You just can't even compare it to mom's! Overall, Grill City is here to fulfill my Filipino craving, but it's not my first choice. read more

I really wanted to like this place. It seemed popular enough but sadly, I was not impressed for a couple reasons: (1) The service was very slow. You just choose an entree from the menu board and then slide along the line to choose a side to go with it - essentially cafeteria style. It's intended to be "quick service" and all the food is already prepared, but about 15 minutes passed from the time we got in line to when we finished paying. The staff didn't seem to be very organized nor focused and could have followed a more efficient process. For example, they could benefit from an assembly line setup, where one person is responsible for the grilled meats, one person at the side items, etc. (2) The labels of the food items need English descriptions. I'm NOT familiar with Filipino cuisine, so I had to guess what items were based on their appearance. I could have asked the staff to explain all the options, but I didn't want to hold up the line further. For instance, a label reading "Laing" or "Daing Na Bangus"....how am I supposed to know what those are? A simple description would help immensely and definitely speed up the ordering process. (3) The food was okay, but not great. The chicken and pork skewers had a sweet BBQ marinade and nice grill flavor to them, however I found the pork to be pretty dry. Two side items, the Chicken Afritada (like a chicken stew) and similar beef stew were pretty good - both contained lean pieces of meat and mix of veggies. I did not like the Palabok, which is a noodle dish mixed with a very fishy-tasting sauce. That's probably its intended flavor, but I personally found the fishiness to be overwhelming. For about $9, you'll get a grilled item, large portion of rice and a side of your choosing. I'd say that is a reasonable price and the serving was definitely filling but the quality of the food was just alright. Sorry, Grill City. I'm sincerely glad I gave the food a try as I'm always looking to expand my palate, but I see quite a few opportunities for improvement overall. read more

This is hard to say... it's amazing bbq skewers. like perfect bbq pork or chicken on a stick. Delicious sauce and marinade. Perfectly sweet and has the perfect coating texture. Anyways, it's like an arm and a leg now for these sticks. I believe one stick is $4? I bought 4 one time, and it was like $16 and some change... so pretty much each stick is like $3-$4. Which has gone up quite a bit. I will say, b/c they cook for the masses, I have taken a bite of chicken that was maybe almost close to not done. Like, the temperature was probably 5 degrees less than the proper cooking time. I only can tell b/c of the texture of chicken right before it's all clear to eat. Overall, service takes FOREVER. Like, you could end up waiting in line for 10-20 minutes for some skewers or quick hot deli items and by the time you pay, ur food is cold or you've been standing around for so long. Food tastes good though. I want to learn how to make this so I dont have to wait this long in line and not pay the same price as 3 pork butts from the grocery store. read more

Skewers here are good, but DONT COME HERE. You'll just be treated bad and have awful service! I ordered the skewers below and when I went to pay they charged me way over. When I inquired about the deal listed below and they told me it would be available in a week or 2!!! How can you put up a sign with not date and tell customers it will start at an undisclosed time in the future!! It is absolutely ridiculous. I asked to talk to the manager and the staff said I'd have to wait an hour since he was on break. I said I'd wait and she said okay. I went to talk to another employee to see if manager was here and this second employee said she'd get the manager! The first employee came up to the second employee and they started talking in Tagalog before grabbing the manager. WHY DID THE FIRST LADY LIE TO ME? That aside, the manager told me they put the ads out to notify future customers if the deal so they know it's upcoming but they don't know the date. I told them if they put up the sign they should honor it or at least put a date on it. He said this is they say it's always done and did nothing about it. He told me to check back in next week and the deal might be live. read more

We came in last Saturday and saw a sign promoting a BUY 4 SKEWERS GET 1 FREE deal (at the entrance facing the rest of Southcenter Mall). When we ordered and asked the workers about the promo, they said that it doesn't start until Monday. Ok, weird, maybe we read the sign wrong. So we got our food and ate, albeit a little disappointed. On our way out we passed by the sign again and read it very carefully, it said NOTHING about any dates on it! So we went back to ask the Grill City workers. They claimed that we were wrong, so we asked to talk to the manager. Then the lady we were talking to said that it would take 30 MINUTES for the manager to come talk to us. We knew this was a blatant lie so we told them we would wait and sat down. Since this place is part of the food court of a grocery store, we decided to walk over to the Customer Service to complain. When the workers saw us talking to Customer Service, they ran over and said "Oh! The manager is suddenly available." And proceeded to call him over. (like what). Anyway, the manager came over and we explained the situation to him. He told us that the promo starts on Monday but we told him that the sign was misleading and we had deciding to come in from the mall because of the deal. The sign really should have the dates of the promo, or they should honor what they are promoting. The manager continued to argue with us, making it feel like we were in the wrong. Eventually we just left, disappointed in how the workers treated us about the manager situation (they lied hoping we would just leave) and with how the manager dealt with the FALSE ADVERTISING. He could have easily mitigated the situation by offering us a free skewer and telling us that he would make the sign more clear for future customers. He did neither. On top of this, the store was twenty min from closing for the day so all the extra food they hadn't wouldn't be sold to customers away. Very disappointed in how the situation was handled. Extremely poor management. read more
