Worth finding this place.
Short walk into the arcade off Franklin St.
Friendly service.
Clean.
Food was good.
Best Crispy Pork in Melbourne!
It really was crispy!
Milk fish & chicken were nice.
Sliced pork was bit dry.
Home made papaya relish was good.
Glad we found this little gem.

We wanted to like this place. We really did. There were so many great recommendations.
We came here with such high expectations. However, left not too satisfied.
I'll preface by saying this resto is cash only, so make sure you withdraw before you arrive.
Now, the sinigang was really good. Really reminds me of a Vietnamese soup 'canh chua'. The salmon was a bit too fatty for our liking, but otherwise was the best dish we ordered.
The lechon we had, had a very porky taste/smell when we ate it. So it wasn't very enjoyable. In addition to that, the coconut oil that was used to cook it was overpowering. We could not get pass this smell and taste. The lechon also wasn't as crispy as everyone has made it out to be. I'm not sure whether we came on a day bad day or not.
Overall, what you see in the pictures came to a whopping $59.50. We're usually okay with prices, but the quality on that day could not justify the price.
I'm not sure whether we'll come back here again.

GJ’s Grill served delicious hawker-style Filipino meals. We tried their lechon and it was amazingly delicious! Crispy skinned, tender fatty pork coupled with sour Dole pineapple juice to balance all those savoury flavours. Perfect for quick lunches.

Unfortunately they ran out of crispy pork. | Staff knew my friend was trying Filipino for the first time, they gave extra sides with the skewers. | Im picky with Sisig and I really liked this one, topped with plenty of chicaron

Lechon crispy pork with garlic rice and pork skewers with garlic rice. Both were delicious, especially the lechon which has the perfect crisp. Definitely worth coming back to

Tasty sisig. Gave me a taste of home. Lechon kawali is crunchy.

Fxck! This chicken was freaking good! 200 g of chicken thigh and 230 g of rice. Just hit the macros! Business would see more customers if they incorporated chicken breast or sort of “make your own Philippines 🇵🇭 dish”

It’s was beautiful! The place goes unnoticed because it is small but you get a big surprise with the food. It reminded me of home food! I'm not from the Philippines, but Latinos eat very similarly :)
