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.

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.

Carmina's Review on Seoul Train Korean BBQ


Carmina was craving for Filipino okoy yet it wasn't available. 

Carmina decided to eat something close to it yet when the Haemul Pajeon had look like a pizza coming in a white box.

Haemul Pajeon is a pancake cooked with green onions, potato, carrots and seafood for PHP 400.00 ($7.69).


If your into eating some Ganjangmaneul Chicken for PHP 380.00 ($7.31) which is soy garlic chicken that is fried with Wagyu Bokkeumbap (fried rice) for PHP 350.00 ($6.73).



When in doubt Carmina couldn't finish her Haemul Pajeon she had shared it along with family members and Manang V to have a taste of Seoul Train Korean BBQ for their dinner.

Manang V had enjoyed it with the dipping sauce that came with it.
