What EL Kiper likes about Isla Pilipina:
Wait staff is outstanding he explain almost every dish on the menu and suggested house favorites. He was spot on! We ordered several dishes and were blown away at how delicious every dish was. The flavors were extraordinary in the Pancit Bihon. The fried pork belly was so good I wished I had brought cold beer to compliment it. (BYOB) We couldn't possibly order everything but let me tell you, we will be returning soon... View all feedback.

Man, there are some really tough reviewers on here! I give Isla Filipina 5 stars without any hesitation.
I consider this spot a bit pricey for Filipino food because our food is definitely cheap, but I think it's worth! Especially if you haven't had it before
