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. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. 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.

Giving Out Suggestions to New Sellers


You come across new sellers selling in Shopee an online shopping application used on your phone or online store to purchase items to be delivered to your home.

I've come across from new sellers who are new in selling items online and having it shipped out. There is one coincidence the item has leaked out and the can has a bump on the end from the being handle during the delivery. I suggested to the seller to place a card board border in between the can it will not hit each other when it gets delivered to her other customers this way the seller will not receive bad comments and will not lose any cost in her items they are selling.




New sellers are new at their business I don't mind suggesting what can be done to improve what they ship out and the best part in saying what need to be changed they take it out by offering a new freebie in your next purchase in the future.

I have received an item that was spoiled and it is not yet expired no matter what you to inform the seller in order for them to recognize items they are selling are not able to eat to be discarded to prevent getting food poising. 


I don't ask for a refund from the new sellers. I just inform the new sellers in order to prevent them not to lose too much profit in their new business just in case they begin to experience from other sellers.

Most customers will ask a refund but going through that process is too much of a hassle and I don't want to deal with it if the money is not even worth it if only one item cannot be consumed.
