My family and I went to Isla Pilipinas Cafe and had an amazing time. The food and the service were top notch and the atmosphere of the restaurant was so relaxing and comfortable. We will definitely be back to try more dishes soon!

My girls and I enjoyed EVERY THING WE ATE! We ordered thinking we would have food leftover but the food was so good we left NO CRUMBS! Such a welcoming, wonderful, family vibe. Thank you to the Dad, Brother, and Sister for being so nice and cooking such good food. Shout out to Mom even though she wasn't there! Can't wait to go back!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Isla Pilipinas Cafe for lunch the other day! I was really missing Filipino food and I had some friends popping into town for lunch and this seemed like a great place to meet for a meal. Once you walk through the door it feels like you're visiting with family. I loved the atmosphere in here-- so cozy and bright! I got the lemon ginger juice to drink and it was the perfect blend of sweet, sour, and spicy. We then got the lumpiang shanghai (eggrolls) which were PERFECT! So crisp and perfectly seasoned. We then moved onto the main event-- garlic rice, chicken pancit, BBQ, lechon kawali, and chicken adobo. It was all so incredibly delicious! It was like eating my mom's home cooking and provided the warmth and comfort of home. I'm a transplant to SoFlo and know that from now on whenever I miss my mom's cooking I will inevitably find myself here. We also indulged ourselves with the ube cake, halo halo, and leche flan for dessert and oh my word it was all so delicious! Though you can find flan pretty much everywhere in SoFlo, there's something so much richer and indulgent with a Filipino leche flan and this leche flan was absolute perfection. My friends who came with me had never had Filipino food before and couldn't get over how delicious the whole meal was. I would recommend Isla Pilipinas Cafe to any and everyone! Thanks so much to the staff at Isla Pilipinas for such a wonderful experience! I'll definitely be back!

Checked this places open and close times on their Google My Business page before we walked there with all of our kids from our hotel. Got there 45 minutes before the restaurant was scheduled to close at 7 p.m. They refused to seat us because, apparently, they dont seat people past a certain time. We werent told what time that was, just that we were too late. (We learned later that they put takeout 6-7 on their Facebook page only.) Kicker: There were multiple other families eating at tables when they turned us away. We have eaten at thousands of restaurants all over the world, paying minuscule amounts in some and huge amounts in others. Never once has a restaurant refused to seat us before their stated closing time, and certainly not an hour before they close. Awful.
