The sisig was a bit salty but once you eat it with the pickled cucumbers, it cuts through the saltiness. Enough for two people if you order rice! Tocino was a bit sweeter than my partner preferred so he'll probably try something else next time. Good to know there's a Filipino spot though in the South Bay. I used to live in Daly City and there were a ton there so happy I don't need to drive there anymore if I'm craving Filipino food!

I tried the two item combo with: Half White Rice & Half Pancit Bistek (Beef was not fresh, just the onions were) Forgot the name of the other item but it was my first time trying it and I enjoyed it for the veggies! There were okra, green beans, and pumpkin (Was just a little salty) Parking can be difficult if on the weekend and early mornings. Not my favorite plaza but will come to try something new. Service was quick. Good place to grab a bite and take home for later. A lot of seating but for smaller parties or else it may seemed packed. They had a variety of entrees that looked delicious! I would come back to try other selections.

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.

Saw on my social media feed about this place and realized it was the same location as Toto's grill…read morewhich closed many years ago. Was excited to find out another Filipino business taking over. I've had my fair share of tusok-tusok experiences in California and I mean it when I say that I am happy this place opened up. I think prices are pretty fair for a bbq stick in the Bay Area. They carry pork bbq, hot dogs, intestine, kwek-kwek, bettamax, pig ears, etc! Although I wish they had fishball or squid ball for even more variety but thats ok. They provide a marinade to brush on while you grill your own BBQ and provide vinegar and another sweet sauce for you to dip it in post-grilling. Overall, the flavor is really good and you can't really go wrong. They carry other items on the menu in which they serve to you such as sisig, pares, siaomai, empanada (available weekends only), lumpia, melon juice, etc. And yes they have rice! I wish I took pictures of the food we ordered but the kids got to it first while we were bbqing. We went on a Thursday evening so it wasn't too crowded but they still kept the party going with karaoke and music. I could imagine the place being full on weekends. The parking could also get tricky in that area if full too. They take cash, Zelle, and card (with surcharge). The grill is located inside in the center of the restaurant so it gets pretty smoky inside even with all the doors open and vents running. So expect to smell like delicious bbq coming out lol.

You can tell they put a lot of thought into the details. The restaurant itself is also really cute and aesthetically pleasing.

The service was fast and friendly, and our food came out surprisingly quickly. Overall, we really enjoyed our lunch here and would definitely come back again!

After reading through some reviews, I decided to order the bone marrow fried rice, and this was easily the highlight. I'd definitely order it again next time. It came with a generously sized bone marrow bone with plenty of marrow inside. I immediately scooped it all out, broke it up, and mixed it into the fried rice, which made every bite incredibly rich, savory, and indulgent in the best way possible. Their take on bò né, on the other hand, could be a hit or miss depending on your expectations. Unfortunately, this one was a miss for me. I appreciate the creativity behind their fusion version, but I didn't feel like the changes necessarily elevated the original dish. The meat also wasn't as tender or juicy as I would've liked. It wasn't a terrible dish by any means, but despite how interesting and tasty it looks in photos, it's probably not something I'd recommend or order again. Overall, I'd definitely come back to explore more of the menu. They offer a lot of unique and creative dishes that you don't typically see elsewhere, and the bone marrow fried rice alone was good enough to make me want to return. Next time, I'd skip the bò né and use the stomach space to try a few more of their specialties!

Day of the event chef rod was texting me asking me a couple follow up questions to ensure food came correctly! He came on time and had everything ready to go.

I noticed that if customers take a little extra time to decide what they want, some staff members seem to become impatient.

I appreciate that they hadn't run out of these items, as it was later in the day. Looking at the food trays in the display case when I arrived, they even had pork bbq skewers available, and this is around 5pm on a Sunday. That's rare for filipino eateries in or around the south bay. Service was standard and sufficient, and everything was packed and ready to go in just 10 minutes. The food items I got were a bit dry, particularly with a lack of sauce in the beefsteak dish, and the sisig was slightly mushy. But there was no shortage of flavor, and the portions were large enough to last for at least two separate meals. No dine-in seating at this spot. It was more like a convenience store inside, but a filipino one that serves hot food items in the back. I guess I know where I can get some decent filipino cuisine, canned goods, and lotto tickets all in one place.
