This place was previously called Toto's Grill but has since rebranded to its current name, The Grill by Miss G. I'm not entirely sure what happened with Toto, but Miss G operates the restaurant in much the same way, with a few new additions, such as a karaoke stand and floral decorations on the ceiling. These updates add a charming touch to the restaurant's ambiance, evoking a nostalgic vibe of "street food," "pulutan nights," or however you'd like to describe it.When I first came here, the experience felt exciting and deeply nostalgic. However, the novelty wears off after a few visits. The "grill your own skewers" concept is still enjoyable, but it's really just "reheating" your food, which loses its appeal over time. It would be amazing to have a true "grill your own skewers" experience similar to Korean BBQ restaurants, though I understand that might require a different type of licensing. Imagine a Filipino street food spot where you could actually grill your own skewers--something like a tambayan atmosphere with skewers as the pulutan. Considering the addition of karaoke to the restaurant, this idea feels even more fitting. That was my fantasy when I first heard about the rebranding.Nonetheless, I still recommend this place because their skewers are genuinely delicious. The BBQ pork has that authentic Filipino BBQ flavor, especially when paired with the vinegar sauce. The Manong Sauce for the fish balls is probably my favorite--it elevates the taste of fish balls, squid balls, and other seafood skewers, which are otherwise just okay. My favorite skewer, though, is the kwek-kwek--deep-fried quail eggs on a skewer. It's rare to see kwek-kwek on other Filipino restaurant menus, and that really enhances the nostalgic experience.

The place has been renamed to The Grill by Miss G. I remember trying it about 7(?) years ago and liking it. It wasn't cheap back then, but now, probably due to inflation, the prices have definitely gone up--especially for something like a small stick of intestines or tusok-tusok. I hoped the taste would match the price, but unfortunately, it doesn't.Having grown up and lived most of my life in the Philippines, this doesn't come close to the real ihaw-ihaw back home. But I guess it's nice to have something nearby when you're craving isaws.

I was craving Filipino food, so I decided to try out this Filipino grill restaurant. The concept is fun--you choose your skewers and head to the self-serve communal grill. However, the grill wasn't very hot, so it took a while for the skewers to cook, which was a bit frustrating, especially when I was hungry.That said, the portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. One plus is that you don't have to worry about anyone swiping your food since everyone uses the same communal grill.Overall, it's a unique experience, but I wish the grill was hotter to make the cooking process quicker and more enjoyable.

It's okay. You're just buying skewers to reheat yourself. By the time you eat your food, they're cold again. At least they have a large variety of stuff.

I came here on Sunday, and it was not overly packed. I saw a several grill apot on tik tok but located in Los Angeles. I was so excited to be able to try it here.When you first enter, you see the bbq grill out in the open, and the skewer is in the back.You have the sauce bar in the back, and then you get the good stuff. The skewers. You have options of beef, chicken, Filipino sausages, intestines of different types, liver, sesame balls, fried shrimp, sui mai. Etc.So there are a variety of meat options. But I didn't see anything offered to vegetarians. They have booths around the walls of the restaurant. And then they have regular seating on the otherside of the grill.I tried the beef intestine, beef skewers, chicken skewers, quail egg and something else. I loved the fried quail egg it was best dipped in the spicy vinegar. Honestly speaking I would recommend to pass on the beef and chicken skewers. It just taste like hawaiian bbq meat but on a skewer. The chicken feet was pretty goof and saucy.I was able to try melon juice and also taho. The Taho is our Asian version of tofu fa. They have a brown sugar syrup ca our ginger syrup. Then they also add tapioca. The tapioca are small perals versus the standard black tapioca. The melon juice was fresh and refreshing. I will definitely come back and try other skewers.

This place is a bit challenging to find since it's right off a busy street. It has its own parking lot though so that's nice! We came here on a rainy day and there was no on inside. It's a good space with enough grills to reheat your food. The cashier was very friendly and helpful. Each stick is $1.85 and rice was an additional cost. There are endless amount of sauces you can choose from. The meats had a nice marinade to them. The grill took a bit long to heat up our sticks so by the time we ate, the rice was a bit cold. Maybe I didn't see the burner to turn it up a notch. Still enjoyable and I would return!

Do you like to grill and enjoy live music ? Well this is your spot ! Specializing in Philipino style meats , stomach, and other parts ! Lots of great option chicken beef pork and some seafood. You make your way through the line picking your skewers. Prices are great ! They are all precooked and you just heat they up on the grill. You find a nice spot on the grill and start to go. Nothing like grilling alongside a bunch of strangers while listening to a local band. There is only rice and a side option but after tons of skewers why would you like to waste stomach space on sides.Not your typical dinner spot but worth a try !

I finally made it in. I went with a girlfriend and needed an explanation of what to do. You select the skewars you want and reheat them or cook them on the grills in the center of the restaurant. They do tend to stick so keep an eye on them. I also think the grills could be a bit hotter. The garlic rice was extra but the sauces and vinegar tubs in the back was great. It makes my mouth water.Service was friendly and on a Tuesday night, it wasn't busy. They have their own parking lot.Review #97 of 100 in 2023.
