Our experience at Grill City was extremely disappointing. The food was tasteless and definitely not worth the price. We ordered several dishes, hoping for a satisfying meal, but each one was a letdown.
The crispy pata was far from crispy—it was soggy and lacked the crunch you expect from this dish. The menudo was equally disappointing, as it had no distinctive flavor that would remind you of authentic menudo. The ginataang sitaw at kalabasa was a complete disaster; whoever cooked it should seriously reconsider their approach to Filipino cuisine. To top it all off, the chicken BBQ was dry and flavorless, making it nothing but a waste of food.
Adding to the poor food quality, the cleanliness of the restaurant was unacceptable. Tables were filled with food remains, and the floor was equally messy. It felt like no one was paying attention to basic hygiene standards.
To make matters worse, much of the food seemed like it had been reheated from the previous day rather than freshly prepared. Overall, our visit to Grill City was a regrettable experience, and we cannot recommend it to anyone looking for quality Filipino food.

This is the WORST place to order online! After waiting for an hour with no update, I tried to call their number (which does not work) so you will have to call Seafood City and ask them to be transferred to Grill City. After speaking with a woman over the phone, she said that one of the items is not available. So instead of them informing me about it, I had to wait for an hour for nothing until I decided to call them. They also said that no one is there to collect it for delivery. RIDICULOUS! I hate this place to be honest. If there is another Filipino food I can order online, I will in a heartbeat but sadly this poorly managed restaurant is the only one close to our location. If I can give it ZERO star, I would. THE WORST!!

A dishonest business. There was no beef in my meal, just a large portion of bitter vegetable eggs. They charged me the price of beef. I went back to the counter and asked the cashier, and the answer was that this was the price. I think this is a fake bill. I ate a fish and Half of the rice and bitter vegetables，I can guarantee there is no beef

Grill City is nestled inside Seafood City Market in Rancho Cucamonga on Foothill Blvd. they have a variety of Filipino dishes and mostly known for their grilled items, such as Grilled BBQ Pork and Chicken, Liempo (Grilled Pork Belly), and fish.This is a walk-up counter where you point and pick your items for purchase. They do have some tables and chairs if you want to eat inside the market. The placement is a little weird because it’s where people enter and exit.Most of the time, you’ll see a gentleman grilling the items through the window. It only makes you salivate more anticipating that first bite of juicy grilled BBQ meat.I usually will stop by and purchase an item or two, depending on what looks the freshest. I personally like their Grilled BBQ Pork skewer than their Grilled BBQ Chicken Skewer, as it tends to hold more flavor. I’ve ordered the Grilled Pork Belly (Liempo) but it’s always a hit or miss. The last two times, unfortunately, we’re a miss - the pork fat was just too rubbery. I’ve also ordered a Grilled Calamari - the only thing is it’s overstuffed with tomatoes and onions and seems to not be cooked all the way through. I suppose it’s better than being overcooked. The solution for that was just to cook it through at home.The aroma of grilled items here is irresistible.The price on the skewers might seem a bit steep at 4 for $20 ($5 each). However, there’s plenty on each skewer and the pieces are pretty big.They have other hot items you can order (adobo, menudo, sinigang, etc.) but I tend to skip over those since I can just make the dishes myself.Overall, it’s a convenient place to get shopping done at the market and pick up some ready-to-eat items to bring back home for your family. One less thing for you to worry about.
I ordered two pieces of Cebuchon for my granddaughter's birthday. I was very disappointed because the two Cebuchon's skin were not crispy. The skin is tender and soft. We put it in the oven for more than thirty minutes, the skin is still soft and saggy.I am a regular customer of their Cebuchon, the previous orders I had were okay. The Cebuchon looked like they were cooked the day before and were just warmed the day after. They don't look and taste fresh and crispy. They were supposed to be the same size but this time the other one was bigger than the other one and the lady said that the big one compensate the size of the small one which is strange. Never again!!! You guys be careful when you order Cebuchon or other dish from that place, they are not honest at all!! I feel being fooled and they thought that they get away with it. We were excited to have a crispy Cebuchon but the Cebuchon came out a total disappointment. I ended up toasing the other one because nobody ate it. The other one was not also consumed.Beware of this place!!! DO NOT BUY CEBUCHON FROM HERE!!!

Halo halo is at Grill City. Not Jollibee or Red Ribbon. Pretty good. Don't forget to mix it all up before enjoying it.

The sign said, the pack time is 11:57, prep time is 12:40, we ordered at around 6:00, the food arrived at 7:30. The sign said discard after 4 hours, which is at around 4:30. Therefore, the food that was sold to us should have been discarded because it had expired. Had we seen that sign before we tasted the food, we would have sent it back!Palabok, bihon are too salty! Also with the grllled liempo. Extremely salty!

This place is really frustrating… the whole place smells great, truly reminds me of home! I always end up disappointed everytime i order from here. THIS IS THE LAST TIME. Overcooked rice (like it was sticky rice), RAW chicken (pink under the skin, blood dripping RAW), bland bbq, saggy lumpia, rock hard pork adobo and wth happend to the coconut milk in my ginataang puso??? VERY FRUSTRATING, VERY DISAPPOINTING. NOT RECOMMENDING THIS TO ANY OF MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
