neither Grill City nor Phil House has food labels on their steam table entrees… not a regular of either to know which entrees are offered daily and which are specials.
noticed Grill CIty has a new take out self serve section, mostly grilled or fried item (fish balls, lumpia, pastries, etc.)
usually look for kare kare (oxtail stew), pork adobo, lechon kawaii(usually overfried), lumpia, avoided noodles since it resembles chow mein.
Grill City pricing is more complicated (seafood cost more) Phil House has less choices but simpler pricing.
i sometimes just order something that looks good…
