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...

Tenya Tempura Tendon in Mitsukoshi BGC

Mom Violy couldn't believe there was too many people at the food court inside Mitsukoshi BGC. It is our first time inside.

Mom Violy was too hungry and decided to eat at Tenya Tempura Tendon. She had asked Carmina what she'll ordered. Carmina said, the chicken teriyaki bento box. Mom Violy said, she'll get the vegetable and shrimp tempura.

Mom Violy was placing the order she began looking for a table for us to seat down.

I had approached a person seating down in a big table to see if I would be able to be seated. I was informed they are only three people so there were three extra chairs. I sat there until Mom Violy came so I can inform Becky to seat down so once the food was ready. I can pick up the food from Tenya Japanese Restaurant.

From being too hungry Carmina asked Mom Violy and Becky where our location was, they couldn't even pronounce it. 🤣

The food had arrived Carmina asked Mom Violy I thought you're getting the assorted vegetable and shrimp tempura over rice. Mom Violy said, she had changed her mind.

Mom Violy had ordered with miso soup with additional charge.


The Chicken Bento Box includes with Japanese rice, 2 pieces of California Maki, 2 pieces of tempura kangkong and grilled chicken teriyaki.

Anyone who cannot eat with chopsticks may request for forks from the counter.

Drinks are additional not included in the bento box.

We all enjoyed our meal and was able to get filled up.
