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. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...

New Viet Coco Coffee from Pho Hoa Noodle Soup

Mom Violy's craving is Vietnamese food. Mom Violy always order the same food every time she eat here. 

Carmina doesn't eat that much today we'll be sharing our food.

Pho Hoa Noodle House has a new menu.




Mom Violy ordered Large Serving Tendon Soup enough to take home the leftovers.

Mom Violy also wanted her Fried Rice Paper Rolls.

Carmina wanted Mom Violy to try a new Viet Coco Coffee includes with ice-cream, coffee jelly and coffee inside. For me it was just right, but for Mom Violy it wasn't sweet enough. She had requested for sugar giving her syrup to add the sweetness.

Mom Violy and I are full being the first customer.
