Jochi Resto Grill

This establishment is located at a very busy plaza and 95% of the stores are either run by or owned by Filipino's. Once you walk in, it smells and feels like the Philippines Parking is plenty and there are NO restrooms at all. It is a bit dirty, meaning the tables and floor as people have to bus themselves and the staff does not clean the tables so if you spill on the table, you are expected to wipe it down. The ambiance is ok as the crowd is mixed between Filipino, white and Hispanic that come in and dine. The tables are really close to each other and It was a bit uneasy eating when people are soo close to each other. I guess it was just stroke of the luck when we dined in there were two ladies next to us that were really loud and obnoxious and had no care in the world who heard them talking smack.The food menu changes constantly so there a variety and all sorts to eat. They give plenty of food per serving. 2 cupful of rice that looks like it will feed a small family, 2 different types of entree as it is very plentiful as well and a small bowl of soup. Water is self service by they have a variety of cans as well as Asian drinks in a can to buy.The reason I give this only 3 stars is because t you have to clean the tables before you eat, bus it again after you eat and there are no restroom for the restaurant. The food is excellent, inside is a no, so I suggest you order your food to go and enjoy it elsewhere. If it were just for the food, I would give it 4 stars however, the dining experience is subpar to what we have experienced at other places.

Visited this restaurant after my food shopping @ next door Seafood City.Both 2 sets of 2 entrees (Pinakbet & Mongo with rice and Dinuguan and Bistek with Pansit) and a Halo Halo. Foods are tasty and savory.Service was ok.The restaurant is clean and tidy.Ample parking spaces.Conveniently near the 805 Freeway and E Orange Avenue.

I've been going here for about a decade now, and it's still smack! The food is oily, but fat is flavor.I usually order the lechon cebu, but it's not available until 11:00 am, so I wasn't able to order it this time. At least it's offered every day, as years ago it was only available on the weekends. No doubt it's a 10/10 rating!My other recommendations are the mendo, bisteak, sisig, bopis, and garlic rice. All are an 8/10 rating. I love how the Filipino food spots within National City and Chula Vista give huge portions, unlike any other spot located northbound, such as Fredcel's in City Heights and all of the eateries within Manila (Mira) Mesa. The vibe here is chill, as the set-up is similar to Panda Express. Check out the video below, as we've ordered party trays for a family gathering, and they were able to accommodate my request for pick-up at 9:30 am. That is great service, as typically received within the Philippines! Mabuhay!

I love this place! They are so accommodating and nice. I ordered several dishes for a family gathering and these folks did not disappoint! They even let me make a last minute change to my order. I ordered chicken adobo, pancit, menudo, and rice. Everything was delicious! My favorite was the menudo and the pancit. Everything was flavorful without being too salty or greasy. I'll definitely come back here whenever I need to cater a party!

So much food and selection. and a great price! One of our faves when we need a Filipino food fix. Avoid typical meal times, the lines can get long. We use them for catering too! Although I feel they fry any lumpia order when you arrive ready to pick up your order, so buffer in that time.

I have had a lot of Filipino food from different places, but this place is one of the top 5 in South Bay IMO. With many different options, you can't go wrong with this place. The service was great the multiple times I've been there. The ambiance is simple and cordial, but could be better.The parking is not bad at all, but if you plan to enjoy your meal there be mindful that there's only a few tables and chairs, I wish it could be bigger to support being able to sit down and enjoy my food. But I still enjoy this establishment and have made it a usual go to spot. Overall rating: 7.5 of 10.

I stumbled acrosss this gem because my mom was craving ukoy all the way from Santa Barbara ! The first place I had gone to ran out and their service was horrid, I looked this place up and called them and immediately they put all their left over ukoy on hold for me. Upon arrival, the place was very clean, organized , and they were fast to serve you. This place got it together !!!! They have many variety of foods to pick from for your combo or if you want to it eat a la cart. Price is cheap and quality is great. Don't pass up this hole in the wall!

Bought about 10+ party trays and all tasted delicious!!! The staff are exceptional! Thank you mga ate and mga kuya!

I'm a Filipino & grew up in the Philippines. Def this places takes me back home. Food is amazing. Staffs are very accommodating as well.

The cashier went out of her way to be rude. Once she realized one the people in my party was Filipino, she changed her tone. We will not be returning to a business that mistreats non Filipino customers.
