When the longing for authentic Pinoy dishes strikes in the U.S., Isla Grand stands ready to transport your taste buds back to the Philippines.

Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up.

Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went.

Feeling Bangkok But Located in the Philippines

To me it is always a challenge to find new places to explore and still find a place that suit for other people who are older than us but want to travel to another country.

My mom’s other destination is Thailand and I was able to find a restaurant that look like Thailand but this time you can eat their food too.

For someone who loves seafood this is the place for you to try and test it out.

Imagine you are eating at a floating restaurant just like what you would do in Thailand.
