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.

Family Dinner at Thanh Long in San Francisco, California

 


Every time we would travel and visit our family, we would take us to eat at their favorite Dungeness crab cooked Vietnamese style.


From the drive from Bay Area is one hour depending on the traffic by car is something you need to consider a cold climate is to bring a thick coat and wear something warm.


Entering the Thang Long they request you to wear a face mask and can be removed after you've started your meal and put it on when leaving the restaurant. The servers are also wearing face mask when they approach your table to get what you would like to eat.




My family decided upon sharing one crab per two persons this way there is no way we can eat it by ourselves.



For those who are not into seafood there are other meals provided in their menu.




Dessert after eating a meal until you're really full to go home.



Those who would like to experience Roasted Crab must try it at Thanh Long in San Francisco, California.
