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.

Papa Ping's Birthday Celebration at Harborview Restaurant & Bar in San Francisco, California


When you reach a certain age, and you want to add memories through the years by celebrating your ninety-eighth birthday.

Papa Ping wanted to gather his family and close friends at Harborview Restaurant & Bar in San Francisco, California.

Have you've ever experienced a ten-meal course?

The best tip Carmina can give you is don't eat rice it will be served in the middle. Make sure you're really hungry to full up your stomach. Or eat few of each dish served at the table.

We had the Banquet Menu C with soup of Dried Scallops, Fish Mao & Sea Cucumber Soup sorry no picture of the soup too hungry.

BBQ Combination Platter


Salt & Pepper Dungeness Crab


Peking Duck with Steam Buns


Stir-Fried Scallops and Prawns


Steak Cubes & Broccoli with Maggi Sauce


Sauteed Peas Sprouts with Dried Scallops & Mushroom


Golden Supreme Fried Rice with X.O. Sauce


Steam Black Cod 


Dessert

Black Sesame Mochi in Ginger Tea
