Grill City — Restaurant in Sacramento

Best tasting and variety of Filipino food I have ever had here in the U.S.. Not restaurant style where you get a menu and order but cafeteria style where you choose your items. Menu items may be ordered ala carte or one can opt for the set meals. Had the ff: Pork BBQ skewers Laing - taro leaves cooked in coconut milk Sinampalukang Manok - Chicken in sour broth w/tamarind Inihaw na Liempo - Grilled Pork Belly Kare-Kare Longganisa All 5⭐s, except for the Kare-Kare (3⭐), which we all felt needed more of the sauce. Also available : Chicharon Bibingka So glad they had coffee aside from other drinks. Location : Inside a supermarket and tables and chairs are available for those who wish to dine in. If you have NOT tasted Filipino food, I highly recommend you try it from here first and start with the Pork Barbeque and rice or the set meals of Longganisa w/rice. Overall, an excellent choice for Filipino food. Price maybe a tad higher but, considering the taste, I, for one will gladly pay the price. Wish we have them here...

Be Back rating- won't see me for awhile

The one star is for the politeness of the servers and the dinuguan/tinumis wasn't that bad in flavor. However, it had one piece of actual pork meat. The rest of the solid chunks in the dark liquid were tripe. Again, decent taste but they really tried to save money by skimping on the meat.

The biggest problem was that we spent $12(!!!) on a piece of fish that turned out to be bad surrounded by tons of rice(see the pic). How about less rice and another side?

How about an edible piece of fish?

Since we took it to go, we didn't notice any of this until we got home, 15 miles away. The experience was forgettable...although impossible to forget.

It's better to make a dollar profit from a thousand orders each than $10 from 10. It's better to make sure you're giving the public a good product. Your business will be around longer.

You ever wonder why there are so few Filipino restaurants as compared to other Asian restaurants? This experience could be a big...

They use left over sauce for the chicken barbecue. It smells bad spoiled only after 4 hours of buying it from the store. The chicken seems OK. I am willing to pay for food that is not spoiled. But it is very disappointing to pay for a food ( $25 for 6 pieces) and realizing it is spoiled.

One server doesn't know the price of the lechon Kawali. He would mumble while wearing a mask. You have to ask him to speak louder and repeat what he was saying a few times. Then when he weighs the food it was $17.99. $4 higher that what he said earlier. He doesn't even know how to cut the lechon. Then another guy behind me got upset because he was doing the mumbling again. Told him to speak louder. That was a disappointing visit on Nov. 16, 2023 at around 1:15PM.
