    Sure, I've had them bookmarked for awhile, but the mood or the timing was never in sync. Then Big Bro came up for a visit and asked where we can get Pinoy Street Food grub. So, we're in the South Bay area and we didn't feel like driving all the way to that more-famous-much-more-well-known place in Los Angeles, so I suggested this place. We had to make a stop at Seafood City so the timing couldn't even be better! As the rest of our party were doing their shopping, Big Bro and walked by. He was interested in the few street food skewers they had as well as dinakdakan and kilawen. The only let down (which wasn't their fault!) was that they ran out of isaw! (They were in the process of cooking some for later service.) So, I'm guessing that particular item is popular. Big Bro and I (along with some family members) enjoyed the goodies he brought home. The chicken was tender and tasty and seasoned well. The fishballs were nothing out of the ordinary. The dinakdakan and the kilawen were out of bounds delicious! So, yeah, it was a good first run! Definitely coming back if only to have a taste of the isaw. (I am now curious why they sell out all the time!) Gotta satisfy that curiosity!

    Isaw, Just Warning its not well Clean

    To start the Sisig was good! But the Pork And Chicken Intestine is not well clean you sill still taste the poop of the Animal! The Lechon Kawali be ready is really Hard be careful you might Break Your JAW The Meat of Pork BBQ is Really Old I will never comeback here

    The orange one (quail egg) and chicken were yummy, rice wasn't garlicky enough

    $9 for two scoops garlic rice, and a skewer of chicken butt, bbq pork, fried fish cake, fried lobster ball, and fried quail egg. Chicken butt - 4 pieces. should have gotten three of these and a quail..one of my favs. Get this one !!! Sweet. Bbq pork - 3 pieces. Chicken was better but dipped in the vinegar alongside the crunchy bits, it wasn't bad at all. Lobster ball - 2 pieces. Tastes like the ones at h mart. Would pass next time. Fish cake - 3 pieces. Slightly chewy with some crisp from the fryer. Okay. Quail egg - 6 pieces. This was one of my favorites. Crunchy from the batter (I have no idea why it's orange) and then creamy from the yolk. Also kinda chewy from the batter but I think this made me rapture lol The garlic rice isn't super garlicky but it had good texture. Chewy and not dry nor soft. I guess if you MUST get rice, you can, but this was aite. Service was helpful since I had some questions. Kikiam = fish cake. Overall, I would come back for the chicken and the quail eggs. I wasn't aware some of the skewers were fried, but I wish I made more room for the chicken. If it weren't for the vinegar, this place would lack a star.

    Soup w lunch combo

    Located where Little Dim Sum used to be, near Seafood City, is this new Filipino eatery. The moment I saw the sign for this Pinoy joint, I had my heart set on checking it out. I came right when they opened on a Friday. It's a small little place with a couple Filipino desserts on the side on display for sale. Up at the main counter is where you order your food. This is not a Filipino turo-turo restaurant where food is already made, instead you order the food and then they make it. They have combo deals that includes rice and soup for dine in only. 1 item combo starts at $4.99 up to $8.50. 2 item combo starts at $6.40 up to $9. I chose to get the $8.50 1 item combo with the Bistek Tagalog while my friend got the $5.99 1 item combo with Pinakbet with Pork. First served to us was the free soup that comes with the combo. It's a fairly simple soup with cabbage. It was a little salty but was ok. Not bad but not the best either. It's basic broth with a little salt and greens I had high expectations for my Bistek Tagalog. The traditional beef with onion dish is one of my favorite Filipino dishes and I couldn't wait to see how it was here. When my combo came out, I was surprised with the portion I saw. It was a couple pieces of beef spread out in the container with a bunch of onions. It was small for an $8.50 price and I was disappointed up front. I however hoped that taste wise my initial disappointment would diminish. Honestly it was ok until I noticed it was a bit on the greasy side. The accompanying rice was also not too good. My friend even made a comment it's the lower grade type of rice. Similarly my friend's Pinakbet with Pork was also a small portion with mostly veggies and little pork. Lastly we tried their pichi pichi for dessert. The coconut rice cake was ok. I had been looking forward to checking this place out and unfortunately the prices and what we got just didn't match. My $8.50 combo which consisted of a low grade, hard rice, a bunch of onions and little meat in greasy sauce. It unfortunately was not worth that $8.50. This prices here a lot too compared to other Filipino eateries. I'm all for freshly made food and perhaps this is the reason for the high price but the sadly quality and quantity wasn't there with what I got.

    All grilled and ready to eat!  Pick ears, chicken intestines,pork intestines, fish balls.

    The parentals and I came here just to check it out. My dad has always seen this place but never checked it out until I urged him to go in. The place is small. The staff was friendly. We ordered the inihaw (grilled meats on a stick). We got a few of the pork ear, pork intestines, chicken intestines, and fish balls. We noticed they have other items on the menu. We didn't order any of it because we just wanted a quick snack. By the way, each skewer was $1 and I believe they only have this available during the weekends. Anyhow, the pig ears were amazing. There was enough crunch because of the cartilage and then when you dip it in vinegar, it tastes even better. The intestines were okay. I'm not a fan but I still eat it. The fish balls were good. There was also kikiam, hot dogs, chicken and pork skewers - we didn't see this until we already paid. There's always next time. Overall, we will be back. The skewers were awesome and we now want to try the other dishes that they have.

    Steamed or grilled? 3 big pieces. Difficult to chew. Weird taste. Has food coloring.

    Big cuts, stingy pork intestines. I couldnt swallow or eat. I want to return them or wont return there at all! If I get a tummy ache they're the culprit. My jaw hurts...their food has food coloring too. Weird taste

    I almost puke, I love eating isaw but this one is beyond yuck!!! Will never go back!!

    Burnt!  Took a small bite, had to spit it out!
    Melanie C.

    Very disappointed! They serve burnt food! When I complained that their bbq meat are burnt the owners son says that's how we serve it! Really? He did not even try to communicate with me further! Went on about his business. Burnt meat is bad! Burnt food cause cancer! Since I am forced to check a star, I will acknowledge that Ma Jing is really nice.

    BBQ on a stick with passion fruit iced tea is the best combination for summer!
    Kay L.

    I stopped in with my niece to have drinks and try out the BBQ on a stick. I am a big fan of street foods. The initial plan was to grab BBQ sticks but I couldn't resist trying out the salted pepper pork chops. The BBQ are awesome, they go so well with the passion fruit iced tea - they use real passion fruit with good quality tea! Salted pepper pork chops are much better than I've had in other places, crispy outside soft inside. Want to go back and try other BBQ!

    So i am a bit confused about the photos here, because there is an actual restaurant looking place,…read moresome little cart and a food truck. Hopefully they are all related. My review is based on the food truck. It was my son's birthday. He was allowed to chose anything he wanted for dinner. Any price point... anything. Well i had seen this on Instagram and shared it with him two weeks prior. At first he wanted to go to Nobu or there were a few other high end options, but that is not his style honestly. Luckily, he remembered the post that I shared. He wanted to go here. Well, buckle up kids, we are going on a field trip! We left work/schools early and took a drive to Compton. When our navigation said we had arrived it suggested we park in the lot across from the library. Ok. There directly in front of the library was the food truck. There was a small line, so that was ideal. Not a long wait. My other smaller human and i went to wash their hands in the library. When i came out he had ordered the hungry man or something. It was more than enough for us. The oxtail was good. The ribs were good. The chicken was good. The cornbread was yummy. Just not over the moon for the greens... and i loooove collard greens. But that's ok. We went for the meats. They were out of the dinosaur ribs, so maybe if we go early enough next time, we can try those. We took it across the street to the park and ate and that was enough time for the small one to also play to get energy out before we headed home. The drive home was long, now that rush hour traffic had started. But none of us complained, because the meal was worth it.

Super yummy! - Rose Ddeok-Bokki: Loved the soft rice cakes in the creamy and spicy sauce. I would literally pay for the sauce alone. Adding cheese is a must. - Kimchi Fried Rice: Full of meat and flavorful. A great paring with the chicken. - Cheeseballs: Love these sweet, chewy, and cheesy balls. I need to buy more of these next time! The service here was great and the staff were nice and attentive. There was outside seating available which was nice and relaxing. A complimentary self-serve water station and a bathroom were available as well. For parking, there's a free lot in front. Overall, a great experience here! I would come back regularly if I lived in the area.

This restaurant opened over 40 years ago in the 1980s. They have not changed their seasonings or recipes since then. A lot of their sauces and kimchee is made in house (and has not changed in over 40 years). This is probably the best Japanese BBQ experience I've ever had and I've had A LOT of BBQ experiences. My favorites are items you typically cannot get anywhere else. Their raw beef liver sashimi and their raw minced beef are amazing. It's really hard to find these creations. If you like liver, then you'll be an instant fan. If you're a little squeamish then you can always grill it a bit before you eat it lol Their cuts of meat are also a league above the rest. I loved them all! Their wagyu tongue, negi tongue, gokujo kalbi, tokujo ro-su, and pork belly are all worth writing home about. They also serve vegetables and salad to go with the BBQ. We also tried their yukkejan soup which is their spicy beef soup. It was very tasty. Savory and not too salty. Very well balanced. I'd eat this alone on a cold rainy day. The ambiance is busy with moderate noise. Lots of Japanese locals were there that night and were simply having an amazing time socializing. Overall 10/10. Definitely coming back!
