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.

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

Nico's Pier 38

 


First stop is at Nico's Pier 38 arriving from Hawaii Airport where you get to experience eating fresh fish from the sea.

Menu:



Carmina had a best friend who has requested to try the popular Pico that is raw tuna fish ready to eat.





Without me knowing Gilbert had ordered some for Carmina to try choosing between regular or spicy to see how much they cost if you decide to try it too.

Mom Violy doesn't eat raw fish, so she was able to try something else.




While eating at Nico's Pier 38 you can enjoy the scenery.






Carmina has no problem eating raw fish something we sometimes eat back home in the Philippines the only difference it is fresh and being made the Hawaiian way.

In case you want to eat fresh fish and have a nice view come and check out Nico's Pier 38  it is best going there in the morning where you won't reach the lunch and dinner rush.
