Reviews for Isla Restaurant in San Bruno, CA
Bit of slow service but the food was pretty great! I've never tried Filipino before so I have nothing to compare it to, but... myself and my friends thought it was tasty. We ordered a few dishes to share, but our favorite was definitely the deep friedpork belly. They were out of the Filipino beer but my friends were able to order other beer (Heineken/Corona).

Really cute place with lots of potential. I ordered the sisig one of my go-to dishes. It was ok, but I've had better. I'm... used to chopped jalapeno peppers and onions to mix in. Anyway, the inside was awesome, add that the menu looks amazing, so I'dlike to try it again. It is probably a 3.5, but can't do half-star ratings. Maybe I'll go back and try something else. Read more
All the Filipino comfort foods with good portions. My favorite was the sinigang, inasal, and halo halo. Do not come here when... they are busy if you are sensitive to sound because it is VERY noisy. Quick but inattentive service. Staff speak Tagalog. Read more
Definite must visit Filipino Restaurant when you?re in the SF area. The place is big and clean. Servers are friendly and... attentive. Food is unique, delicious, and served fairly quickly. The adobo ox tail and the crispy pork binagoongan are highlyrecommended. Read more
Great place for big groups and large platters. Lechon kawali, pinakbet and pancit were awesome. Make sure to have the kare kare... oxtail with shrimp sauce. The two go great together. Read more
This is the perfect place for a group of friends or family. Order their Bilao package enough for group of 8-10, includes... unlimited order of rice and two desserts. They have two soda fountains with ice dispensers which is enough to give you space andtime to get your favorite "softdrinks" beverage (they have pepsi products). If you're a Niner, Gsw or Giants fan, you wont missout on basketball, football and baseball coverage as they have 4 widescreen TVs. They have table seating for 4 and upto 12 seats(round table). There's a public parking at the back if you are having a hard time looking for one on the side of therestaurant. must try: Kare-kare, jeprox, pancit & leche flan Read more
First time ever having Filipino food. Let me say that Isla did not disappoint. The food was delicious, the service was... friendly and the ambience was very nice. I ate here in Early August. Now I?m back in the bay from Washington, D.C. for a fewdays and I?m taking my wife to eat there. I can?t wait to feast! I?ll add a second review then or maybe I?ll let the Mrs. doso. Read more
Had an awesome time at a wedding rehearsal dinner here. The food was so delicious! It was a little hard to get a server when we... needed to order more, but the place was absolutely packed on a Friday night, so that makes a lot of sense. Fun, very familyfriendly, would recommend it! Read more
