Tony's Barbecue & Bibingkinitan - Fountain Valley

not sure why there are low stars...glad we went as we are from the north (east bay) while checking out the schools here bibingka was yummy and true (galapong maybe)the java rice was filling and all the grilled liempo chicken and bbq was delicious person working and serving us was super nice and humble made me feel like i was in philippines!!!if you're visiting the area please just go and ignore the low reviews

I saw an ad on Instagram at 2 am and knew I had to come by and try it the next day! I was skeptical at first because of the reviews however I'm pleased to say the meal exceeded my expectations. While I'm not Filipino and haven't had chicken inasal before, I still felt that the entree was very delicious by my Vietnamese palate's standard. Chicken Inasal 5/5:- succulent and soft, juicy and had flavor. Dipping sauce complimented the chicken very well. Would buy again absolutely.Seabass meal 5/5:- soft, perfectly cooked! I was afraid that it would come out overcooked. By itself, this is a steal since seabass can be greatly overpriced at high end restaurants but here, it's affordable. Original Bibingkinitan 5/5:- was hot and moist when served to me! Super soft and delicious. Very savory and had the right amount of sweetness. Perfect ending to my meal. The banana leaves were used to wrap the bottom of the dessert- added an amazing aroma! Ube Bibingkinitan 5/5: - also hot and moist when served. Yam had perfect amount of sweetness, not too overpowering and had a nice texture. Coconut Bibingkinitan 3/5:-also hot and moist but personally did not enjoy the coconut chunks as much as I thought. But this is a personal preference! Service was fast here, there was three ladies working the restaurant. Ordered for pickup and received it promptly in the promised time (15-18 mins). Very nice women- they were happy to serve me. While I did not sit down to eat and merely ordered to go, I did observe that the Restaurant itself looked clean and well kept. Ample parking at my time of arrival (11:15am). Would come back regularly for an affordable and delicious lunch.

I'm not Filipino but my sister-in-law and all her family is so I've had great Filipino food. The lumpia was good but I've had better. Nice crunch but the filling was just OK. I tried a chicken and two pork skewers. The sauce was very good, not too sweet, but the meat was too tough and chewy on both. The pork skewers had a lot of gristle but the parts that didn't were pretty tasty. The chicken skewer was very chewy but was a little better the next day cold although I still didn't finish it. I might be back for the lumpia and try the pork belly since I read that's more tender. Not sure. A shout out to the lady who worked there. She was super nice.

Filipino barbecue the way it should be. Jemma who takes my phone orders is always patient and nice over the phone. She would even give you recommendation on what to order.

Best bibingka and Filipino BBQ. Exceptionally friendly customer service. Cannot wait to order catering from this place. Their taho is also delicious. Nothing but positive things to say about this place. For bibingka, order ahead so they can reserve enough pieces for you.

Ordered a chicken/beef bowl. Staff was nice with the good old Filipino hospitality. Simple enough. Takes 20 minutes to get bowl. Kind of long for being the only customer in there. Trying to get back to work. Asked if it was for here or to-go. Told lady for here and still got it in a to-go container. Okay. The chicken was all right but the beef comes out in these weird cut strips and is overcooked with this dark sauce that is drenched all over the meat and absorbed into rice. So, there was no balance. It was all salty and they give you more sauce on the side to top it all off. It would have been better to just keep sauce on the side and not drown the bowl in this salty sauce. Not a good experience overall. Couldn't even finish the bowl. I love Filipino BBQ and I definitely won't be ordering this bowl next time.

Avoid at all cost!!!! Ribs were super old and microwaved and the chicken bowel was full of liver and organ meat. No thigh meat at all. Also the chicken inasal was old too. They put so much maki yaki sauce so you don't taste the boldness of the food. Also I knew something was wrong when the restaurant did not smell like food. Everything was microwaved. Honestly this place had potential in the past but went down hill. Such a shame. Shame on them for giving crappy food.

No word to say. First time tried and my last time too. The rib beef are so dry likd you eat the paper.

Had this place bookmarked for quite some time so glad i was able to check them out while out and about on a long weekend. I got to try their pork bbq plates with java rice, and soup as well as the babinka and halo halo and gulaman. The pork plate was tender but was a bit fatty for my taste and I think the flavor was slightly bland and could have used a little more time in the marinade but overall it was a decent pork bbq skewer. The java rice was good and the babinka was tasty. the halo-halo was basic and could have used ube to make it better. Seemed very basic. The Sago Gulaman was ok but I've had better also. I think they would get more traffic if they weren't in a business strip mall that doesn't get weekend diners. Would I come back? if I was in the area I'd try some of their other menu items and get more of the babinka to take home.

Great service. Delicious food. Very unique. Filipino barbecue. The interior looks pretty old. Could use a refresh.
