Jj’s Island Grindz - Bonita

Really good food from Oceania. The owner is from Guam, and so there are a ton of Guamanian and Hawaiian foods on the menu. Kalbi beef ribs were amazing, potato salad was awesome. The kids got virgin strawberry daquiris and that was a huge hit. Overall, AMAZING food that everyone should be checking out.

I really wanted to like this place as it is close to us and I love island inspired fusion cuisine. The truth is it’s a good place to go for drinks and maybe a couple of the appetizers but that’s it. Beyond the teriyaki chicken wing appetizers and the fried shrimp patties, the rest of the food looked good but lacked flavor. How you make rice bland is beyond me but the fried rice was mushy and wet and their macaroni salad is just off. It has a very odd taste and texture to it and it does not resemble Mac salad in the slightest flavor wise. The chicken and red rice was bland and garlic shrimps did not even taste of garlic. I hope the chef goes back to the drawing board to figure out some flavor and revamp the menu. I believe it would be better with a smaller menu focused more on flavor than a large menu on quantity. The sushi is okay but not for the cost- there is way better in San Diego. Overall, it was a huge disappointment. I gave this place another shot after my bad first experience so this was actually my second time dining there. I rarely write reviews of anything but I do think people should know what they are getting into.

Great food, chicken teriyaki was good. I didn't have to wait long for service or my food, they also recently opened up a tiki bar next door which i will soon try.

Everything was great. Great taste of food, friendly services (they greet you like home). The menu is unreal.. you must try it. Thank you too all the cooks doing it up.. I will be back.. esta ki'

Wow!!! Talk about true homemade Chamorro food! High quality ingredients and excellent service. Jojo, the owner, shows his love and passion for amazing island cuisine by only using true and authentic ingredients! We had the ahi poke, red rice, chicken kelaguen, and pancit--all were delicious and fresh! We highly recommend and will return to JJ's anytime we crave authentic Chamorro food.
