Grill City - Irvine

Tl,dr: Service can be awful. But the food can be pretty good!Likes: The food is culturally exotic and interesting here. I like getting the chicken skin here as a snack to complement my meals.Non likes: Lackluster service. I said Hi with a smile, but the lady simply frowned and asked what I want. I kindly asked for half box of chicharron. When she filled the box to half full, I said that 's good, thank you , but she ignored me and kept filling it up. When the box was almost full, I repeated that 's ok, thank you but she added a few more. Then she couldn 't close the box because it was too full. So she simply passed the open box to the cashier lady.Then the cashier lady handed the open box, and she smiled as she handed a closed plastic bag to me, as if it 's my job to open it up and put the food inside. I paid anyway and said Salamat po. What 's with these employees?

Food: 4. Came by because I was in the area. Eating area is like a food court but very basic. I love Filipino pork skewers but $4.50 seems like a lot for one skewer by itself. I ordered one to try and a halo halo. You order at the counter and pay at the register at the end of the counter. Skewer was nice size but was barely warm. I ate it because I was hungry but maybe I shouldn't have since pork. The taste was very good and I like that it was fatty and flavorful. I could probably eat 5-6 of these so pricing seems a bit high. The halo halo was very good but I'm biased toward this dessert. I love Ube ice cream. This is a nice portion and probably more fitting for two people. Service was okay. Not friendly but got the job done.Service: 3Ambiance: 3Value: 3

Too expensive for $3.99 plus tax. Poor taste, the banana is not even ripe. It's not worth it for the price . I will not buy it anymore.

Love the food! Don't like the service. First time I came. I came with a friend. We ordered chicken bbq sticks and pancit for our family. We only speak English but only understand Tagalog. When we were ordering food they tried to talk to us in Tagalog but we didn't understand them and talk back in English. The server started to give us some attitude when giving us our food. We would like to order more but with that kind of attitude and service there wasn't any point.After that experience, I called my parents and told them how bad my experience was. I get better service at HMart or 99 ranch food market than here. It's sad because I'm Filipino. It really made me feel uncomfortable and mistreated.

I got a halo halo i was spoiled the fruit or either the condensed milk but i was bad experience because my kids love halo halo ?????????
