They were packed full of flavor and one if the best pork skewers I've ever had. We also had the pork sisig, which had a great mix of tender and crispy pork pieces. It was paired great with the garlic rice. And for dessert, we had the ube sipao, which came out warm and topped with coconut and filled with ube -- the perfect way to end a meal. They have a lot of small tables. Service was pretty quick and staff members were nice and answered all questions. It's a place I would definitely return to in the future.

Came by for a Friday dinner -- our party of 2 didn't have a reservation but we managed to snag a…read morewalk-in table around 6:30pm. It's not the biggest restaurant though, so we probably got lucky (you should definitely make a res). -- Pork BBQ skewers were so delicious! The BBQ sauce was just the right amount of sweet, and the pork was cooked so well (juicy and tender). Portion size did feel a bit small for the price point, though -- Pork sisig was good. I liked how the onions / sour flavouring complemented the savoury flavour of the pork. It was a bit too salty to eat by itself (and we didn't quite finish), but fortunately we had some rice on the side to mellow it out somewhat. -- Finally we had the bangus binalot, which was good too. Milkfish is not the most common to find in the US and I was pleasantly surprised to find such a great dish here. It did not feel too oily/heavy from frying, and the fish paired excellently with the fragrant garlic rice. Overall, I had a very nice meal, and the price point was not unreasonable. I think overall the food felt a little salty, but otherwise everything was quite delicious. I think they've moved (nearby) since my visit and I'd love to re-visit and try some of their other dishes!

Really amazing classic Filipino food! Ordered the crispy pata and their veggie vegan pancit. Both…read morewere super flavorful and the pata was cooked perfectly.

Tradisyon was in the middle as it wasn't the best nor was it the worst pancit I've had. The price point is something but it's the city.

Unfortunately, we were immediately told that they would not be taking any walk-ins So, just one friend and I snagged a reservation for the following Saturday. This time around they did let in a few walk-ins at the bar, but they cut that off pretty quickly. It seems the space is much larger than you would expect. We were seated right in front by the window so I didn't go back and explore, but the more you know. Staff were really lovely and attentive and gave us a few recommendations as well. Pancit Kabute - There is no subtle way to explain that this is hands down one of the best noodle dishes I have ever had. So creamy and mushroomy; the fried egg on top is such a perfect addition. YOU NEED TO TRY THIS. I will be back for this over and over and over... Classic Filipino Platter with Chicken Adobo - Just really classic and simple. Very well made, loved the chicken. Comes with a lovely, gingery broth. Salted Egg Pancake - Delicious and the perfect way to end the brunch on a sweet note. Tastes almost like an elevated corn cake (maybe even pound cake). The addition of citrus is so perfect. You can't go here and not get this (this is what first caught my eye on social media actually). For one of my best friends being Filipino, it's a little surprising that I haven't had a lot of Filipino food. I've dabbled, but nothing had really stood out until this experience. Amazing! I've been recommending this place to everyone I know.

My friend had the pork barbecue and I had the chicken adobe. The food was okay but it didn't fully remind me of home. I also thought the place was unnecessarily expensive. Understood the location but I mean it wasn't anything special.

My wife loves the Filipino food here!…read more The neighborhood used to have a bit more Filipino cuisine, but this restaurant has always been good to great and filled the void left at the end of the late '90s. All the regular dishes you would expect are served with pancit bihon, bulalo, pork belly, and lumpiang shangai being the best when we need take out and we don't want to make these dishes at home. They are just like my relatives make and they are great chefs! There are some dishes that are more mild for first timers at Grill 21. We prefer take out and the staff is always diligent and courteous.

Came here with a group of 6 for dinner around 5pm without a reservation and the place was still…read morepretty empty, a few tables eating. The place is pretty large with plenty of seating. The menu is hung up on the wall and you order at the counter before being seated which is interesting. I feel like this system can be difficult because parties usually like to take their time and look at the menu before ordering, especially if the place is packed, it would be hard looking at the menus but I digress. The best dish was the pork sisig like the others recommended. All the dishes were fairly small and I feel like would be just enough between 2-3 people max to share. I think realistically my party all got 2-3 bites of each dish and we probably weren't full full. The cream sauce on the tenderloins were really good too.
