Ma Jing's Eatery

Sure, I've had them bookmarked for awhile, but the mood or the timing was never in sync. Then Big Bro came up for a visit and asked where we can get Pinoy Street Food grub. So, we're in the South Bay area and we didn't feel like driving all the way to that more-famous-much-more-well-known place in Los Angeles, so I suggested this place. We had to make a stop at Seafood City so the timing couldn't even be better! As the rest of our party were doing their shopping, Big Bro and walked by. He was interested in the few street food skewers they had as well as dinakdakan and kilawen. The only let down (which wasn't their fault!) was that they ran out of isaw! (They were in the process of cooking some for later service.) So, I'm guessing that particular item is popular. Big Bro and I (along with some family members) enjoyed the goodies he brought home. The chicken was tender and tasty and seasoned well. The fishballs were nothing out of the ordinary. The dinakdakan and the kilawen were out of bounds delicious! So, yeah, it was a good first run! Definitely coming back if only to have a taste of the isaw. (I am now curious why they sell out all the time!) Gotta satisfy that curiosity!

To start the Sisig was good! But the Pork And Chicken Intestine is not well clean you sill still taste the poop of the Animal! The Lechon Kawali be ready is really Hard be careful you might Break Your JAWThe Meat of Pork BBQ is Really Old I will never comeback here

$9 for two scoops garlic rice, and a skewer of chicken butt, bbq pork, fried fish cake, fried lobster ball, and fried quail egg.Chicken butt - 4 pieces. should have gotten three of these and a quail..one of my favs. Get this one !!! Sweet.Bbq pork - 3 pieces. Chicken was better but dipped in the vinegar alongside the crunchy bits, it wasn't bad at all. Lobster ball - 2 pieces. Tastes like the ones at h mart. Would pass next time. Fish cake - 3 pieces. Slightly chewy with some crisp from the fryer. Okay.Quail egg - 6 pieces. This was one of my favorites. Crunchy from the batter (I have no idea why it's orange) and then creamy from the yolk. Also kinda chewy from the batter but I think this made me rapture lolThe garlic rice isn't super garlicky but it had good texture. Chewy and not dry nor soft. I guess if you MUST get rice, you can, but this was aite.Service was helpful since I had some questions. Kikiam = fish cake.Overall, I would come back for the chicken and the quail eggs. I wasn't aware some of the skewers were fried, but I wish I made more room for the chicken. If it weren't for the vinegar, this place would lack a star.

Big cuts, stingy pork intestines. I couldnt swallow or eat. I want to return them or wont return there at all! If I get a tummy ache they're the culprit. My jaw hurts...their food has food coloring too. Weird taste

The parentals and I came here just to check it out. My dad has always seen this place but never checked it out until I urged him to go in. The place is small. The staff was friendly. We ordered the inihaw (grilled meats on a stick). We got a few of the pork ear, pork intestines, chicken intestines, and fish balls. We noticed they have other items on the menu. We didn't order any of it because we just wanted a quick snack. By the way, each skewer was $1 and I believe they only have this available during the weekends. Anyhow, the pig ears were amazing. There was enough crunch because of the cartilage and then when you dip it in vinegar, it tastes even better. The intestines were okay. I'm not a fan but I still eat it. The fish balls were good. There was also kikiam, hot dogs, chicken and pork skewers - we didn't see this until we already paid. There's always next time. Overall, we will be back. The skewers were awesome and we now want to try the other dishes that they have.

Located where Little Dim Sum used to be, near Seafood City, is this new Filipino eatery. The moment I saw the sign for this Pinoy joint, I had my heart set on checking it out. I came right when they opened on a Friday. It's a small little place with a couple Filipino desserts on the side on display for sale. Up at the main counter is where you order your food. This is not a Filipino turo-turo restaurant where food is already made, instead you order the food and then they make it. They have combo deals that includes rice and soup for dine in only. 1 item combo starts at $4.99 up to $8.50. 2 item combo starts at $6.40 up to $9. I chose to get the $8.50 1 item combo with the Bistek Tagalog while my friend got the $5.99 1 item combo with Pinakbet with Pork.First served to us was the free soup that comes with the combo. It's a fairly simple soup with cabbage. It was a little salty but was ok. Not bad but not the best either. It's basic broth with a little salt and greensI had high expectations for my Bistek Tagalog. The traditional beef with onion dish is one of my favorite Filipino dishes and I couldn't wait to see how it was here. When my combo came out, I was surprised with the portion I saw. It was a couple pieces of beef spread out in the container with a bunch of onions. It was small for an $8.50 price and I was disappointed up front. I however hoped that taste wise my initial disappointment would diminish. Honestly it was ok until I noticed it was a bit on the greasy side. The accompanying rice was also not too good. My friend even made a comment it's the lower grade type of rice.Similarly my friend's Pinakbet with Pork was also a small portion with mostly veggies and little pork. Lastly we tried their pichi pichi for dessert. The coconut rice cake was ok.I had been looking forward to checking this place out and unfortunately the prices and what we got just didn't match. My $8.50 combo which consisted of a low grade, hard rice, a bunch of onions and little meat in greasy sauce. It unfortunately was not worth that $8.50. This prices here a lot too compared to other Filipino eateries. I'm all for freshly made food and perhaps this is the reason for the high price but the sadly quality and quantity wasn't there with what I got.

My girlfriend, friends and I went here last night because we just thought about eating some food in Andrew Zimmern's catalog. My girlfriend and I went here before; just want to introduced my friends how awesome Filipino street foods are. The ambiance is pretty decent, just like a normal food eatery in a Filipino plaza. By the way, they have a charging fee below $10, but ordering a lot of food is a good thing :)My friends ordered their balut(unfertilized duck egg), which is a Filipino delicacy through out the Philippines. They love it because it's eggy and meaty as well. The soup inside the balut have a warm feeling when you sip it. They ordered the usual pork BBQ because we all know Filipino BBQ are sweet and delicious. One of my friends, tried the balut for the first time and completed one of his bucket list, so that's a success!My girlfriend and I ordered our usual isaw(chicken grilled intestine). This grilled intestine is one of main street food in the Philippines and this place did a decent job. Their isaw was marinated with a sweet sauce, which is yummy, but they served it kinda cold; so that's just one of my knock on it. Their kwek kwek(battered fried quail eggs) is the best of all their street food items. It is crispy and flavorful, I cannot get enough of it. The price is a little bit expensive than some of the Filipino street food joints, too. Overall, I'll give it a 3.5 close to a 4 star just because it takes guts to introduced these street food to the public and some of these Filipino street food is an acquired taste to say the least. If you never tried Filipino street food before, you should try it in here.. You never know you might like it :)

I almost puke, I love eating isaw but this one is beyond yuck!!! Will never go back!!

If your looking for simple Filipino food this a nice mom and pop shop to visit. Walking in we were greeted in Tagalog lol even though I can't speak it to well I felt instantly welcomed. I ordered Denuguan, Sisig, and Caldareta. And they were all awesome. It satisfied my craving for home made Filipino food. The restaurant was small and had a couple of tables and felt cozy like most of these small Filipino restaurants. If you're looking for a small pick a plate type Filipino restaurant this place won't disappoint.

Was my first time to come and try the isaw - chicken intestine and Taste yuck. they don't clean it good like remove the shit still raw overall taste rotten it's not healthy . and charged too much for their food. Not going back here anymore in this place .
