Wow, we just found this great place in Hayward. It is a grill specializing in Filipino food. The food is made fresh to order, and you can get some special items- we got freshly grilled bangus, which is also called milk fish. The staff are friendly and eager to help. There is spacious dining areas that can accommodate larger parties. Definitely worth trying!

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.

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!
