I have tried the place a few times. This last time was actually a very good experience. The food was fresh. The service was great. One issue I have had is the prices and portion size they pretty small and too pricey. First time I went on a Friday night and they live music
Isla is my go to for an almost as good as my mama's home style Filipino meal. Everything I've ordered here has been great and that says a lot because I like to keep switching up my order. The hard part now is narrowing down what to get or trying to not over-order because I want it all.
I have been on a mission to find the best Filipino food in the area and I keep coming back to Isla because it is consistently tasty, they have good size portions, they always have a ton of deals going, and it all comes out pretty quickly. This is authentic Filipino food so if you're looking for an Americanized version of Filipino food, this might not be for you.
Pro tip: Filipino food was made to eat family style so I recommend that you come with a big party and try a little bit of everything. Try to save room to share some halo halo :)
Big and spacious. Quick, friendly service. Food is spot on but pricing is a bit high compared with serving sizes
Great Filipino food. I like their banana leaf 'plates,' the smallest one can easily feed 4 people. If you get a soda, it's self-service so you don't have to flag down a waiter for a refill.
Good Filipino food, just like how mom makes it! The place is clean. It is pricey but good. Party of 12 and it was little over $200. But this place is better than some other Filipino restaurants.
