Isla Restaurant

"Tried Sisig pork and fried milkfish and chopsuey. All tasted good and was a really nice comfort food. I particularly like the sisig and chopsuey. The milkfish was okay, might try the grill version next time."

"Excellent service at this restaurant. The food was served very quickly. The staff is efficient and nice. Wine is affordable for the San Francisco Bay Area, the Chardonnay was quite good. The chicken adobo was tasty, home-style food, and was served with a very big pot of rice! The chicken wings were not special, too salty, though nice and crunchy. The menu is extensive but a bit confusing for the non-initiated. I would come again."

"This review would have been higher but for the service. I had to wave down someone for to go boxes, the check, and service. Prices are fair. Total bill with tax was @$60. The bbq pork was nice with a good sweetness and adobo rice was good though a bit bland. The chop suey veggies were under cooked for my liking. Best time to come is around 5pm on a Saturday as customers were fewer than when we arrived at 4pm."

"Came here with a party of 4 on a Friday around 6:30pm for dinner. Super spacious restaurant with lots of seating. The place filled up at 7pm so we are glad we came a bit earlier than their dinner rush. Their waiters are friendly and work fast, but they’re a bit understaffed for all the tables. We had a feast and ordered a ton of stuff for 4 since their menu was so expansive! - Lumpiang Shanghai: easy appetizer and made in cute bite sizes to easily munch on throughout dinner. - Sizzling bangus sisig: solid dish and goes well with plain rice or another rice dish - Binagoongan rice: I liked the mango and tomato bits that added flavor to the rice. The fried pork in this was also very tasty and balanced the salt and fried was of it with the rice and tomato and mango. - Crispy pata: massive thing and we took it home at the end but very crispy and a popular dish since it’s not easy to make at home. Also goes well with rice or noodles since it’s just meat. - Pancit bihun guisadu: I love my noodles and this was a solid dish. Loved the seafood and quail eggs added to it too. - Bicol pakbit: added a veggie dish cus we need a balanced meal :p I love the coconut flavor and reminds me of Thai dishes but lots of veggies in it, even bittermelon! Drinks: - Black gulaman: love the little bits of grass jelly and coconut pandan — reminds me a lot of Che (Vietnamese desserts). Let the ice melt so it’s not so sweet too. - Red horse (2): 8% beer, one of their stronger ones but it’s a their local Philippines beer so try it if youre a beer fan. - San Miguel pilsener: their lighter local Philippines beer, also worth a try if you’re into beers. Overall we left super full and satisfied! Family-style is the way to go. All this was around $40 a person including tips. Also, don’t forget to like them on their social media page for a free scoop of ice cream. I got ube and it was such nice cherry on top of the meal :)"

"First time at this restaurant, we were a party of 8 celebrating my brother-in-law’s birthday. The staff were friendly, professional and courteous. The food was served hot, well seasoned, adequate portions and delicious. We were all throughly satisfied and would definitely go back in the future."
