Ma Jing’s Eatery

Portions are good and bbqs are pretty tasty. Although, they are kinda small (isaw). My favorites are the liempo, and chicken bbq. We also ordered palabok which was mediocre but they do give you extra sauce. Price is reasonable and staff are very friendly and efficient.

I am a big fan of Filipino street food! I got excited when I’ve heard that Ma Jing sells streetfood bbq on skewers.
I’ve tried the adidas, bite-​sized Pork Ears, chicken butt, and Isaws (pork and chicken). The innards of the isaw were scraped intensively and boiled for extra sanitation. All bbqs were pre boiled with the flavor of pepper and salt, take note it’s not sweet bbq. It’s actually missing the sweet-​salty bbq sauce flavor. Isaws are chewy and soft. I just hope they have grilled them a liitle bit more.
They grill the bbq as you ordered. Unsure if it’s charcoal grilled. After I got my order, I’m anticipating the smell of grilled bbq basted in sweet-​salty peppery bbq sauce. Well it’s not like that with Ma Jing’s bbq.
In fairness, the wait is not that long. The bbqs were best eaten hot off the grill with vinegar sauce. However, the vinegar that came along with my order is not that sour. It’s so light on the acid taste like it was mixed with water. The vinegar from Nita’s restaurant would best match their bbq. I suggest they also make a chile vinegar sauce.
Overall, the taste is okay and acceptable. It’s not bad but not the best. I would still go back and try their Helmet, Fishball, Hotdog and Kwek kwek.

Pig’s ear on a skewer, isaw and kwek kwek. Wow, the flavor just takes me back for when my friends and i used to hang out at one of the street vendors just chillin and a lil’ bit of drinkin. Definitely good eating.

I like the isaw (pork and chicken). The chicken feet needs work. Too dry and not really marinated. I suggest to put out a grill at the front patio to attract more customers. The best way to appeal to our taste buds is to smell the smoke of grilling isaw or bbq.

Palau. Check!
Ma Jing;s Eatery, although labeled as a Filipino restaurant also serves some items that are eaten on the tiny island country of Palau, relatively close to the Philippines. This took some time to research, as it has been a bit difficult to find Polynesian and Oceanic cuisine in Southern California, but look no further than Ma Jing’s Eatery.
Start off your day with Tinola soup. It comes in two sizes — large soup or a smaller soup with rice on the side. The tinola soup was gingery boiled in a delicious chicken broth. Tinola was the perfect meal for a rainy, cold and wintery day in Los Angeles.
Afterwards, we ended our meal with Pichi-​Pichi, a traditional dessert made with coconut and cassava. Although I am not 100% sure that their PIchi-​Pichi is made with cassava, it was nonetheless outstanding. The Pichi-​Pichi– was soft, doughy, sweet. It was like eating warm coconut dough. I am a big fan of this dessert.
Service was a bill slower than expected but the food was spot on!

$ 1 SPECIAL ONLY FRIDAY SATURDAY and SUNDAY 1 – 11 (grilled to order) …my favorite by far is the keek-​kwek (fried quail eggs)! My dad really liked the pork isaw. My mom and husband liked the pork bbq. The kwek-​kwek is so creamy and best eaten right away. The bbq is full of flavor and very tender.
I was going to order liempo, but it was sold out. I suggested ordering ahead.
Ihaw-​ihaw is great. Delicios and yummy!
Other foods and desserts are offered
Jing is super friendly and very welcoming!

Yummy All-​Day-​Breakfast are all delicious & cheap! The garlic fried rice taste like real true filipino garlic fried rice! We also tried their kare kare, fried tofu & aroz caldo! Hubby & I will definitely go back there & only there coz the other filipino food places are either yucky, very oily & over priced. FYI ~ all the food you order is cooked-​to-​order so everything is fresh, hot & crispy

It’s okay. The food is really salty and oily. The tofu tasted like old oil. They forgot to give us our casava so I can’t really review it. I’m not sure how they get 4 stars on Unilocal.Honestly, my mom and I could’ve cooked better.
UPDATE: it’s the next day, and I have stomach and stool issues. I think their food gave me a stomach bug or something. I’m very used to Filipino food too but idk what happened.

I come down every now and then from Arizona and when I’m craving Filipino food this is my number one go to place! Food is authentic and is made on the spot! Reminds me of my grandmas cooking! Definitely a must try! You won’t be disappointed! Owners are very kind and welcoming!

Sinigang is nice and sour. Lechon Kawali is crispy. Fresh lump is is good. Pandit Palabok looks awesome.

Yummy yummy Filipino food! Large portions at reasonable prices! Courteous staff and easy parking! There are so many pluses for this place!
It’s next to or part of a little shopping center off of Carson full of Filipino stores. It’s a very simple shop, no fuss décor and is just about serving up good food. I got the sisig, pinkabet, garlic fried rice and the seafood pancit. All were so good and fed 5 people with plenty of leftovers. I think Filipino cuisine is just great comfort food and if you like it as much as I do then you’ve got to come try this place too!

Very yummy Filipino food and desert :) And Great service. Plus it’s cook to order so u know it’s always fresh!

I ordered the chilli pepper pork chops and my friend got the chicken adobo. So it took about 12 minutes to get the food. The pork chop spices was good but very fatty and not a lot of edible meat. If it wasn’t for the tasty chicharon (pork rinds) I would have been an unhappy camper. I love me some chicharon and I’ve had crappy ones from other restaurants in the area. Since we ate in the restaurant, we got a side of broth with cabbage with no taste. The portions were good otherwise.

Located where Little Dim Sum used to be, near Seafood City, is this new Filipino eatery. The moment I saw the sign for this Pinoy joint, I had my heart set on checking it out.
I came right when they opened on a Friday. It’s a small little place with a couple Filipino desserts on the side on display for sale. Up at the main counter is where you order your food. This is not a Filipino turo-​turo restaurant where food is already made, instead you order the food and then they make it.
They have combo deals that includes rice and soup for dine in only. 1 item combo starts at $ 4.99 up to $ 8.50. 2 item combo starts at $ 6.40 up to $ 9. I chose to get the $ 8.50 1 item combo with the Bistek Tagalog while my friend got the $ 5.99 1 item combo with Pinakbet with Pork.
First served to us was the free soup that comes with the combo. It’s a fairly simple soup with cabbage. It was a little salty but was ok. Not bad but not the best either. It’s basic broth with a little salt and greens
I had high expectations for my Bistek Tagalog. The traditional beef with onion dish is one of my favorite Filipino dishes and I couldn’t wait to see how it was here. When my combo came out, I was surprised with the portion I saw. It was a couple pieces of beef spread out in the container with a bunch of onions. It was small for an $ 8.50 price and I was disappointed up front. I however hoped that taste wise my initial disappointment would diminish. Honestly it was ok until I noticed it was a bit on the greasy side. The accompanying rice was also not too good. My friend even made a comment it’s the lower grade type of rice.
Similarly my friend’s Pinakbet with Pork was also a small portion with mostly veggies and little pork.
Lastly we tried their pichi pichi for dessert. The coconut rice cake was ok.
I had been looking forward to checking this place out and unfortunately the prices and what we got just didn’t match. My $ 8.50 combo which consisted of a low grade, hard rice, a bunch of onions and little meat in greasy sauce. It unfortunately was not worth that $ 8.50.
This prices here a lot too compared to other Filipino eateries. I’m all for freshly made food and perhaps this is the reason for the high price but the sadly quality and quantity wasn’t there with what I got.

Friendly service. Food quality is good. We’ve ordered the bagoong fried rice which was very good (not too salty), maja de mais (desert). We’ve also ordered the shu-​mai (dim sum) and its ok but not great as I’ve had better. I still order the shu-​mai because I need my dim sum fix from time to time. I’ve also had the fresh lumpia, which was very good. The garlic in this dish wasn’t overpowering, unlike the ones I’ve ordered from Leelin Bakery (Goldilocks) in Cerritos.
Parking could be problematic if the seafood city lot is full, since the parking in front of Ma Jing’s is limited.
Overall I would recommend.

Great Service & very Friendly. Authentic Filipino food. I had the Chicken BBQ & it is the best & a reasonable price. The Atchara was so good the best in town tastes like just like in the Philippines. I can’t wait to try everything else (:

Great service as soon as you walk into the door. Being that I am unfamiliar with the food and culture, the family oriented restaurant made me feel comfortable to order and look at all the delicious choices. Boba was great and my mom loved the Carioca so we bought a few and served it with vanilla ice cream! Awkward location, but worth the trouble. I’ll be back for more!

I’d give 10 stars if I could. Great service and friendly employees! Really enjoyed the food, worth what I paid for. It was my first time having Filipino food so the employees helped me pick a dish that I would enjoy. I will most definitely return to try more of their amazing dishes.

Had a great time with family & friends employees are great and very accommodating!!!
Great authentic Filipino food I will recommend to everyone

This is a filipino place and my wife just got me their special combo. You get what you paid for :-(
