As a Kapampangan-style spot, the flavors here are bold, traditional, and consistent. Honestly, walking out with just one item is a physical impossibility--the aroma alone will make you order half the menu! My husband and I usually swing by for a "lutong bahay" fix on days we aren't cooking. The place is clean and the staff is incredibly welcoming, treating you like family the second you step through the door. We usually grab to-go orders of their Sisig, Bistek, Beef Kaldereta, and Tortang Talong Whether you need a quick combo plate or a massive party tray for the family feast, this place delivers.

I hadn't eaten Filipino cuisine for some time, so she treated me for grubs at Sisig & Boba. When entering there's plenty of space. I didn't ask , but it looks like they have karaoke nights cuz of the TV, and perhaps dancing. Food is cooked fresh, so get the best of it early. They offer combo plates or separate entrees; lots of dishes to choose from, a full fridge of beverages, and desserts. Booths are large enough to seat 4-6 people. The employees multitask with ease. Great and friendly service. Walking out of this restaurant with just one item in hand is least likely. It all looks too appetizing!

Finally was able to try this place out and I was interested in their Filipino breakfast…read more We were immediately greeted and welcomed in which was nice :) The girl recommended the pork sisig w/rice and said it was spicy. We also got a 6pc order of lumpia, half chicken, half pork so that was nice you can pick. The lumpia was freshly fried, you could feel it through the bag, and still hot when we got home. I think I preferred the pork over the chicken filling. The pork sisig was a bit tough and on the charred side and overall a bit hard to eat. It didn't taste fresh. the garlic rice was good though, soft, and fragrant and the portion was generous. the fried egg was cooked well too. Just was hoping for a better pork sisig, and it had white stuff in it. at first we thought it was like melted mozzarella cheese that was cooked w/the pork, but it wasn't cheese....not sure what it was. They make the food to order and it took a while to come out. In the meantime we walked around the store a couple times but then I went to take a seat outside at the table. I would be interested in coming back to try one of their other breakfast items.

It is located in a small plaza so there's ample parking. Although it is not a big place, it is clean and organized with plenty of tables and the food is BIG in authentic Filipino flavor. This spot offers buffet style serving a variety of Filipino food. You can order à la carte as well as their 1 item or 2 item plate specials. This visit I ordered a 2 item special with the 2 pcs veggie lumpia, monggo bean stew and half rice/half pancit. So delicious just like how my mom and dad used to cook Filipino food. For dessert, gotta get halo halo Lol Sooo good! They also sell some Filipino ice cream. There is a small butcher shop inside offering a few select fresh cut meat, along with fresh longoniza (Filipino sweet sausage). And a few doors down, they also have a small supermarket. Check 'em out, one of the best Filipino spots in the 209! Service is always very good and the staff are very friendly and nice.

Isla Restaurant in Newark is our absolute favorite spot for Filipino food! We've been coming here…read morefor years, and at this point the staff already recognizes us when we walk in, which always makes us feel so welcome. We've honestly never had a bad meal here, everything we've ordered has been delicious. My absolute favorites are the Adobong Pusit and the Sisig, and the Lechon Kawali is another must-try. If you're visiting for the first time, I highly recommend starting with those dishes. One thing we also love is that there's always something happening. On Thursdays and Fridays they serve Filipino street food outside, and on weekends they offer buffets and often have live music, making every visit feel like a little celebration. We've been to all three Isla locations, but the Newark restaurant is still our favorite because it's the closest to us. If you're looking for authentic Filipino food, a welcoming atmosphere, and consistently delicious meals, Isla Restaurant is a place you'll want to visit again and again.

A table was prepared for us to set the setting before a cart full of food arrived and spread on the banana leaves. All the titos and titas agree - the best dish was the sisg which is not included in the boodle fight. The fried squid is an honorable mention. All other options I found to be rather mediocre and not worth getting again. Perhaps they were short-staffed when we arrived but it was hard to find a server to request anything. They were all in the back and only came out to bring out the food. We waited too long to ask for containers or the check. 20% gratuity was automatically applied and the total came out to almost $500. The meal wouldn't have been very enjoyable if not for the company so I don't think this was worth it. I may consider coming back just for the sisig.
