The only decent food we had was the sisig. The rest of the food was either bland or too salty. The beef was chewy and tough and some of the vegetable was half cooked. Now i remember why it has been years since we ate here. I prefer the location in san bruno, we went there last january and everything we ordered was right on. Another is the receptionist in this location, he wasn’t welcoming to customers coming in. Maybe its towards the end of the day it showed he wasn’t in the mood.
The food was okay. The food didn't have that wow feel to it. Ordered pork sinigang. Meat size was big and one serving had only 4pcs in it. The taste was a little sweet. First time to taste sinigang that was sweet. I went there about lunch time. The drink cups looked liked it wasn't cleaned good. And drinks were self service. And the rice was served in a small pot. It was better if served in a plate or bowl.

Had a minor issue when we first arrived, but once we were served, I forgot all about it. This place had the best Sinigang I've ever had at a restaurant. Thick, tangy, and savory soup--tender pork belly with delicious purple eggplant and okra. The taro is also a nice ingredient, not normally in Sinigang. The rice was great too.

Delicious and authentic pinoy food, highly recommended ?Vegetarian options: Vegetarian menu?Parking: Plenty of parking area ?Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility ?
Once in a while, I'd like to dine there. Good service, great variety of food. Ox tail is one of my favorite, also snails are really good. Just one thing bothers me - it is too noisy there, and cold.

This is our "Go To"Celebration restaurant. Our last experience with the service at Isla was horrible. We had a party of 16 and the only time they came to our table was to take the order and deliver the food. When the bill of $421.00 came, they automatically included the service charge which was 65.00. I should have requested for half of this service charge to be given tomy brother who had to get up everytime we needed more rice, bowls, water, utensils and the table to be cleaned up. We will definitely reconsider going to a different restaurant due to the lack of service we received. In the future, hope your restaurant does not ignore service for big parties.
When I can, I always make a trip...and end up making my buffet.

Ooh you better come here early! This place gets packed because the food here is. If you're into authentic Filipino food and a lively vibe, this is the spot.I got the crispy binagoongan, sizzling Bangus Sisig, ginataan green beans & kalabasa, and their famous isla pork bbq!My favorite item was the bbq pork skewers, I can eat that every day and never get tired of it. The marinade and flavor was spot on. I love the ginataan green beans as it helped balance the grease and the salt from the other food. My go do vegetable dish. The Bangus has so much flavor I love seeing it sizzling on the plate as it gets to our table. Super fresh and delicious, and the binagoongan was what snacks on throughout my time and when I had it as leftover. Something about the crispy bits and pork made it so delicious.Hope y’all try em out!
