Manila Sunset Grille — Restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga

Ordered two dishes and two orders of rice for me and my mom. The wait was very long, and I assumed that they were taking their time with the food and the large shareable portion because of the photos we saw.

Finally got the food and I was extremely disappointed. My mom ordered the crispy dinuguan and it came in a small bowl. For around 7-9 bucks you can get a filling meal at other places. I ordered the tokwat baboy and it came in an even smaller bowl. Apparently the girl at the register put in an order for the small appetizer size, not the shareable family size we wanted. Plus, tokwat baboy is usually pork and tofu stir fried in sauce. I'm all for artistic liberties but the pork they used wasn't meat but cartilage and fat from the ears that seemed to be marinating in sauce rather than stir fried. I wasn't in the mood to be crunching on cartilage so I just ate the fried tofu. I didn't wanna go back and order or I'd have to wait a long time again.

Also, when I ordered rice for 2, they gave me one plate with two small scoops of rice in the middle. My mom and I are sick and we're not trying to infect each other by sharing from one plate. Am I ordering snacks at a cafe or is this a Filipino restaurant?

My mom complained that her dinuguan, which is a pork blood stew, did not have pork meat but instead cartilage and fat. She couldn't finish it. The dish was around 9 bucks or more. Cartilage is cheap. Pork blood is cheap. What made that dish cost that much?

In short: wait was long, food cost more than the ingredients used and portions they charged for. Food had good flavor...

Located in the same plaza as Gen Korean BBQ , this location has plenty of parking which is a total plus when in the area . Since knowing they need to cook everything before hand , we called in our order so the wait time is not much. We forgot to order another item and I called several times to add our addition. Well since no one picked up the phone , we eventually just got to the location and had to place the order there and wait additional time. So the malabon is the same and great tasting and so was the lumpia nice and crispy . The crispy pata on the other hand was not great at all, the skin was but the actual meat was not . The meat itself tasted old and was probably left in the freezer way too long . The meat was hard to chew, not compared to others that I have tried . So I was a bit disappointed on the meat , not being as soft as...

i was craving for palabok going there and it became my favorite, one thing i dont like is they put too much chicharon, i should've told them not to put too much, my mom had sariwang lumpia, but its not really fresh in her taste, she says when the veges arent fresh they taste rubbery and thats how it tasted like. but thats just how my mom is, she has really high expectations when it comes to filipino food, she has tasted the best already in her longer years.

but to me, i always love your palabok, and the dinuguan is also good, they have a certain flavor that i cannot describe, it was on a friday, my cousin came around tuesday and they said they didnt have it. so they probably cook it on certain days? i would love to try all their food but i live so far away, i will definitely come back again if im...
