    Baby Bangus
    Christopher J.

    This is a solid spot for value-priced Filipino food. Baby Bangus - nicely fried and served with rice, 2 eggs, and vinegar. Hotdog - tasty with a good snap and also served with rice and 2 eggs. Pancit Palabok - this was our favorite of the 3 entrees. Nice, thick noodles with tons of flavor. For comparison, this one is better than what Jollibee serves. Service was quick because the food is ready at the counter. You select what you want to build your plate. It's located inside the Seafood City plaza and faces the supermarket. You can dine in at the many surrounding tables. Grilled food will taste best when fresh off the grill. We will try other choices for future visits.

    Just came here to have my daughter in law taste the famous barbecue skewers. She preferred the chicken but I'm more of the porky side. The bbq deal was buy 4 get 1 free for $17. The bbq were not as they used to be before the pandemic. They're not basted with as much sauce as to give that moist and tender look. We also enjoyed the street food kiosk ... bought a slice of the "lechon" (pork with crispy skin) $13 and "kwek kwek" ( deep fried battered hard boiled egg in a skewer) $2.50 and corn a cob $2.50

    Expired leche flan with mold. Bought on Nov 10, 2023 and it was expired oct 21.

    I went to Grill City/Seafood City in this location looking for some snacks.. I usually go to the one in South San Francisco.. I bought this leche flan, seems delicious, Pandan and Ube flavor.. When I came home, It was served at the table and as you can see the photo, it had molds on all flans.. I looked at the bottom and they were expired... I bought it November 10 and the expiration was Oct 2023... This should be reported also... I dont have time to go back to the store due to distance but I surely wanna report them... Have all evidences from photos to receipt..

    (Top photo) Advertised 2 Pieces Grilled Half Bangus vs (Bottom photos) Actual order received! Really disappointing! Not even close.

    Decided on the 2-Pieces Grilled Half Bangus (Milk fish). I saw their photo advertised via DoorDash menu app and I thought I'd give it a try. I also ordered a 1-piece pork BBQ. The order arrived as promised. But sadly the presentation of the 2-Pieces Grilled Half Bangus (Milk fish) was disappointing. Please refer to the photo. The grilled fish hardly had any garnishing inside. Totally sad looking. I mean it's so unacceptable. I should have asked for a refund. Why would the establishment think this is ok to send to a customer? Please note that it also costs $13.99. Please see photo attached for yourself. I didn't even bother taking photo of the Pork BBQ. Did not come close either with their photo advertised. I will not order from this restaurant again. There's got to be a better quality control per order. Update: 9/15/2020: Establishment owner reached out to my review and noted they will make improvement. I will make sure to give it another try on my next order and give an honest feedback on my new experience.

    I love Filipino food but... I wasn't impressed with this Grill City in Vallejo. It was a flashback experience I had of the Grill City in Sacramento on Mack Road [July 2013]... I never came back. Fast forward to this location in Vallejo. We only ended up here because we couldn't find the restaurant we've been wanting to try (also in Vallejo). Anyway, understanding the menu (especially the combo deals) and the ordering system was a bit confusing to me. It took us awhile to decide on how to make this work for us without ordering too much food. After awhile we finally decided and we appreciated that the nice older lady behind the counter was patient in helping us, even making suggestions. The food choices are set up like a buffet ("turo turo" style) and we just pointed to the items we wanted. I chose one of the combo deals and got the liyempo (grilled pork belly) and came with a choice of another entree, I chose the pork adobo. They gave so much rice that the hubby just got BBQ on a stick (buy 4, get 1 free -- choice of chicken or beef) and we shared the rice that came with my combo meal. Whew! that took like 10 mins on that order counter... luckily, we were the only ones there. After all that, I only found the food to be mediocre... like not fresh, like it's been sitting there awhile. If not for the nice lady who helped us this is only worth a one-star review. Grill City is located indoors just outside the Seafood City Market. There are community table seating set up adjacent to the eatery. Review #1818

    I put it in ice because it's my personal taste.

    Technically I got a container of buko pandan. In reality it felt like a joke because it was in my estimate 95% gelatine strips and the rest are chewy gelatine pieces and yes, five thin small strips of coconut. It is not funny however I give five stars to cashier Aurora. She is a very good front-liner: pleasant, polite, accommodating.

    Bandaids. At the bottom of my order.
    Brent B.

    They added bandaids to my munggo order. I've abstained from trashing how they've messed up orders in the past since I only order here for my family, but since then, I thought they'd do better.. no. This is egregiously worse. BANDAIDS.

    Grill city has been open for years now but for some reason the food just doesn't taste as good as the local ready made food places. Very similar to the "carendaryas" from the Philippines. They're grilled food is pretty good, one of the only places I can find chicken Inasal-- ilonggo style bbq/marinade as opposed to inihaw/grilled bbq on a stick. The process is a little longer and this is located within seafood city so there's a lot of food traffic and I can't tell how long the food has been sitting out there or not. They also have reasy made desserts that are prepackaged for to-go option. Although when I came on a weekday afternoon there weren't many people in line but I felt like the process took such a long time that I wouldn't be able to grab this as a quick lunch place (how it's supposed to be). My go to here is usually the chicken and pork bbq, can't really go wrong with it. When I bought food there was a buy 1 get 1 combo special, I don't know how long that promo was for. As for parking, since it's located within Seafood City, there's plenty of parking, there are security guards but there's been history of break ins and mugging. Right now they had some chairs and tables open for people to eat indoors and adhere to social distant.

    $34.99/lb for Chicharon Bulaklak!!! WTF!!
    Sailor M.

    WTF!! $34.99/LB for Chicharon Bulaklak!!! This is INSANE!! I was SHOCK to see this price!! I asked my friend to get some since she was in the area. I asked for 1lb, but she end up buying half instead and when she gave it to me, I saw the price and told myself "WTF!!! $34.99/lb for this Chicharon?!!! Someone in Grill City is scamming customer, because I know this does not cost $34.99/lb!! DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT. THEY WILL SCAM YOU!!!

    "Value" meal of ONE chicken BBQ skewer and an excess of rice. The options they have to fix this problem is: to add a second skewer.

    I didn't feel like cooking, so Korean fried chicken takeout it was! This isn't our first time…read moreeating here, but this place is so good that I think it's finally time for me to leave a review. You can either dine inside or order takeout. The dining area is pretty small, so it seems better suited for smaller groups. Every time I come here it's the same guy is working at the front. He's always welcoming, greets you with a smile, and just has a really good attitude. Great customer service every time! For this visit, we ordered the Soy Garlic Wings, Magic Sprinkle Shrimp, Chicken Fried Rice, and fried tempura. Everything was GOOD! The Soy Garlic Wings are some nice, beefy wings! The soy garlic flavor is wonderful, and I love how the sauce coats the chicken perfectly without being too much. This was my first time trying the Magic Sprinkle chicken wings and I really enjoyed it. The seasoning has a little sweetness to it, which I wasn't expecting, but I didn't have a problem with it at all. The shrimp were also amazing I especially liked that the fried rice came with an egg, kimchi, and some glass noodles on the side. That was a nice touch and made the meal feel like you were getting a little bit of everything. Overall, this place is wonderful. If you ever have a taste for wings, shrimp, and fried rice, this place definitely hits the spot. Whether you're grabbing takeout or eating inside, it's worth checking out! I think next time my girl and I will dine in

The interior is chill, clean too, loved the outdoorsy pics along the wall. The men who served me were hella nice.

Both sandwiches were great, I personally liked the caveman more though, we upgraded 1 sandwich with a combo and the jalapeño heat kettle chips went great with it. The bathroom was clean as well. I will say, I went and it wasn't busy but I could see them getting backed up with a 3 man crew. Just call ahead to check before ordering rather than give them 1 star. Honestly I have no complaints, would definitely come back here. ^_^

    The sandwiches are good. 4 stars for the sandwiches…read more 3 stars is for an issue my family experienced a few months ago, where we were promised to get one free sandwich after spending a certain amount. We ordered many sandwiches for a party, and they tasted amazing. My dad went in not long after the part to redeem his free sandwich and they said they were not able to give it as promised. This was a let down considering we used them for catering and then the promise of 1 free sandwich would not be honored. The issue is not the price of a sandwich but the lack of follow thru and the way the issue was handled. More recently I DoorDashed a Mesquite Turkey sandwich from then 30 min to closing. The sandwich was really good. TLDR: sandwiches are good, and perhaps we had a communication or customer relations issue.

Just about everything here is made to order (fish, wings, pretty much the whole menu), so patience is part of the deal when ordering at the counter. If you're in a hurry, calling ahead or using DoorDash is always an option. For lunch, I ordered a 2-piece catfish with collard greens and candied yams to dine in, plus a chicken wing and fish combo with fries to go. One thing I really appreciated was that they didn't fry the to-go order at the same time as my dine-in meal. That meant everything was piping hot and fresh when I walked out the door. The catfish is my usual go-to and it never disappoints -- perfectly fried, well seasoned, and consistent every time. The kind of seasoning that makes you feel like someone's uncle back there is cooking from the soul. The collard greens are tender, flavorful, and always hit the spot. And the candied yams? Honestly more like dessert than a side -- sweet, comforting, and absolutely worth ordering. Yes, it can feel a bit on the pricey side, but the quality and flavor make it worth it.

So where do you go when the craving hits early? Enter Chowking. They open 7AM every day, which makes it fast, convenient, and perfect when you need something to curb that Filipino breakfast craving. Let's be real though -- it's not your lola's kitchen, maybe not even your mom or dad's cooking -- but it's familiar Filipino breakfast staples that get the job done. My husband ordered the tocino and longanisa combo. He didn't complain too much, though he did mention the longanisa could've used a bit more seasoning -- no brutal longanisa burps. The egg comes fried hard, so don't expect any yolky goodness here. The garlic rice had enough garlic to earn the name -- definitely not just plain steamed rice pretending to be something else.

No digging through fish bones or worrying about choking on one -- and honestly, that alone was a win. Was it the best bangus I've had? Not even close. But it checked the box.

I ordered a Dave's Burger combo expecting a fresh, enjoyable meal. Unfortunately, that was not the experience I received. While drinking my beverage, I immediately noticed it had a strong taste of what seemed like liquid soap. It was absolutely disgusting and completely ruined my meal. No customer should ever have to question whether their drink is safe to consume. This is a serious food safety concern that should never happen under any circumstances. To make matters worse, my fries were only lukewarm instead of being hot and fresh. When you're paying your hard-earned money for a meal, you expect it to be prepared properly and served at the appropriate temperature. Instead, I received food that felt like it had been sitting for quite some time. I work hard for my money, and I take pride in every dollar I spend. The least I expect is a meal that is safe to eat and meets basic quality standards. This experience was unacceptable, unsanitary, and extremely disappointing. It also reflects poorly on the level of attention, care, and customer service being provided at this location. Management needs to take this matter seriously. Proper food handling, drink preparation, and quality control should be a priority every single day. Customers should never have to experience something like this.
