This authentic Filipino food restaurant is great. The restaurant is a large open restaurant similar to a business cafeteria. It is a fun atmosphere for large groups and families. I would not recommend it for a romantic date.
I was with a native Filipino who said the plates we ordered are almost identical to the homeland.
This restaurant also has a separate section, which was sold out, where a live band plays. The band was energetic playing 90’s and 2000 music. Unfortunately, there were no tables available. I would recommend having dinner in the dance hall. I enjoyed the service, although a bit slow on the drinks, but prompt in serving the food. I would definitely return and stay for the live music!

The food was delicious… vegetables were cooked just right. The crispy pata was crispy and tender… the kare-kare sauce was served luke warm and so was the rice. The beef brisket nilaga was really good… beef was tender and the broth was tasty and plenty.
Sisig order was forgotten so we had to remind server… it was good but portion was really small.
The servers were nice and attentive.
We’ll come back if in the area.

I’ve been hearing good things about this place and finally I made my first visit. First when looking for directions to get here you have to type in Isla Grand not restaurant because Isla restaurant is a different place.
Isla is pretty big. There’s lots of seating and there’s different sections in the restaurant. There is a separate spot where entertainment happens with live bands and karaoke.
Food: It is good but it does not quite hit the aaaaamazing level. For our first visit we ordered the following:
Sisig pork and bangus, Litchun Kawali, Lumpia Shanghai, Calamari (free item), Kare Kare Seafood, and Sinigang Baka (beef). We also received a free Halo-Halo because it was someone’s birthday in our group.
The Kare Kare seafood was actually not too bad. I was skeptical but the seafood actually went well with the peanut sauce. We weren’t really a fan of their version of Sinigang. Also, the calamari looked pale, was chewy, and not crispy. Everything else was on point especially the Sisigs which was the best thing we ordered that night. I am not sure if the halo-halo we got is the way they usually make it, but it was really plain. (See picture). Food presentation needs improvement.
Service: was ok. The Kuya’s that helped us were nice enough but they rarely came back to our table to check on us. We had to call on them a couple of times.
But I did like that they mentioned we earned a free item since we ordered a certain amount of food. And something free for the birthday celebrant. Hoping next visit will be better.

We celebrated when Isla brought their business to Contra Costa, finally a Filipino food that I could be proud of to bring my guests. However, being too big and too busy doesn’t mean that your service should decline. We were here for 2 consicutive weeks this month for in-laws birthday, we were seated right away and placed our orders after few minutes.
It went down on the way they serve food, they are very quick that I assumed that food that are famous for customers get to be prepared ahead like pork sisis and crispy pata. We ordered, crispy pata, pork sisig, pancit, nilagang brisket, pakbet, grilles liempo, grilled squid and fried tofu as appetizer.
Crispy pata came out really quick and sisig with rice and there’s a like 10 minutes or so before they serve the rest of our food and our appetizer came in the middle of our meal when it’s supposed to be at the beginning.
After serving our food, our waiter never came back to check on us, I had to refill our water from their soda machine myself because you can’t find any waiter close to our table. Their servers are everywhere they got no assigned section. After finishing our meal no one ever came up if we are ready to pay, we had to ask their staff who is cleaning tables to get our check and finally someone took our money and asked if we need to-go containers but also, that person never came back and we had to ask another person to bring us to-go containers.

We truly enjoyed our visit to Isla Restaurant. From the start, parking was convenient with lots of available space, and we were warmly welcomed by the accommodating staff. The menu has an impressive variety of dishes, making it an excellent choice for group dining, and every dish we tried was flavorful and satisfying.
The interior is well-maintained, clean, and spacious, creating a comfortable setting for celebrations or casual gatherings. Overall, Isla Restaurant is a place I would gladly recommend to friends and family, and we look forward to coming back.

The food is amazing here, if you are looking for authentic Filipino food , this is your spot to check out. Everything was amazing and reasonably priced. Great place to take your family and share their wonderful dishes. This place does not disappoint. The halo halo was so yummy.

Absolutely terrible experience. The kare-kare had an awful taste and the meat was extremely chewy. The vegetables looked like they were straight from the freezer and lazily mixed into the sauce. The tinola was unbelievably salty and completely inedible. Total waste of money. I will never come back to this restaurant.

Finally came here was excited to try the food here. I even did a video on social media about how excited I was to come. Unfortunately I have 2 issues 1. The choices of meat cuts is very questionable, mostly bone, odd parts of the animal, chicken I can’t bite with no meat. 2. The male servers were a bit too caty, bad attitude and didn’t really want to work.

Very underwhelming and expensive. Visiting my friend in Pleasant Hill so we checked this place out. This was a weekend afternoon, place was a bit empty but the music was loud, atmosphere was nice, and we were really excited because the menu was large but we decided to eat

All were a bust.
That’s being nice. I can tell that their kare kare stock has been simmering for a while but vegetables were HARD. The eggplant was extremely hard and undercooked. The sisig wasn’t fresh.
I spend half the year in the Philippines and there’s no way other Filipinos really type this food up..

It was very nice. I went with my lady and my mom she’s Filipina. She goes there all the time with my dad who has nice past. I went with them. I enjoyed it but the only thing I didn’t like was the part that turns into a dance bar club lounge was fully reserved already so we weren’t able to sit in that area. So maybe next time. Other than that, food was good. And yeah, overall terrific experiences over above and beyond with the customer service
