Grill City

"14 Jan 2024. My wife and I went to Grill City in Waipahu Seafood City. Always like eating up there, but today was the worst day ever. After I got my food; bopis, lechon, fish sisig, and BBQ Chicken. We placed it in the table and I went and got some water. It was empty, but the lady refill the orange water cooler. I went ahead and fill up my cut, but I noticed there was several things floating. I noticed it was a small roach. I dump the water and told the attendant. Instead of cleaning the container, she dump the drip pan with roach. I was disgusted and went back to my table to eat my food. After several minutes, my wife and I finished eating, but my wife last scoop of bopis noticed something unusual. I was hoping it’s safron but instead, it’s a dead roach with head and a few hairy legs. My wife and I are very disgusted. I once again, told the attendant and hoping she would do something. Please, check your food. Most of the time roaches carries diseases and could potentially harm some. I would never eat here again and hope to get my refund."

"Grill City is my go-to place for the most delicious palabok in town. Without a doubt, they serve the best palabok you can find. Located inside Seafood City at Waipahu Town Center, it's a convenient one-stop destination for all your Filipino food cravings. Not only can you enjoy a satisfying meal, but you can also take care of your grocery shopping in one go. The indoor seating area provides a comfortable space to relax, especially when you're feeling tired. Additionally, they offer a variety of Filipino street food options that are simply irresistible. Whenever I need to buy food for our work potlucks, Grill City is my top choice. My co-workers adore the chicken and pork BBQ, my mom can't get enough of the squid, and my dad's favorite is the laing. What adds to the wonderful experience is the friendly and welcoming staff at Grill City, making every visit a delight."

"The chicken inasal is super dry and it's not a whole chicken thigh but a drumstick. The pork liempo is not a whole slab served to you and is also very dry. Better getting food from other filipino restaurant nearby."

"Good Filipino fast food at breakfast and lunch"

"Super convenient cafeteria-style restaurant located inside the Filipino supermarket Seafood City. I'm addition, they have a grab-and-go refrigerated section with items like jelly pandan and flan, and a "street food" cart with pre-packages foods to go, like arroz caldo and various meats and desserts in a stick. They've also carved out a generous dining space, with widely spaced tables for four in front and on the side of the main buffet. Besides fountain drinks for purchase, they also provide a water cooler with cups for free water. My first-time selection was Laing, which is taro leaves cooked in coconut milk, to which they added shrimp. I got the smallest bowl, and they included one good-sized shrimp. I also was tempted by the grilled salmon, which turned out to be rather acidic and tart - in a good way, like sinigang. At first I thought the cost of the two dishes was rather pricey - around $20 - but realized I'd be getting three meals out of it, which makes it a good deal. While I prefer other Filipino restaurants in the area as my go-to, if you're already shopping in the store, it's not a bad place to grab lunch - portions can easily be shared by two small Asians lol."
