FINALLY‼ tried Yma Yma, been on my bucket list of restaurants for awhile. I ordered the featured…read more$15.99 Sulit Special combo platter (to go). This consists of pancit bihon (traditional noodle dish), chicken inasal (yes!! boneless thigh), pork bbq on a stick, rice, cucumber slices, dipping sauce and choice of drink. Fresh, hot and generous enough for me to make two meals out of it. Very clean restaurant with a nice vibe. Gentleman working the counter is personable and so welcoming. Other than fresh hot entrees you will see packaged baked goods , condiments and a few assorted gift items for sale. The food? Ahhhmaaazing. Tastes like it should and looks like it should. I know why. Lola came out with the home cooked entrees, placing the pancit and other select choices in the heated serving pans. Who is Lola you ask? Well, that is the term for Grandma in the Filipino dialect of Tagalog. Someone's Lola was back there doing what she knows from memory, traditions and simply cooking with love and joy to please whoever she is sharing her food with. Yes there were other talented hands working alongside Lola but she is the key to making the food as it should be. I have already raved to my family and friends about trying Yma Ymas. Definitely give them a try, you will NOT be disappointed. You're missing out if you don't. I am going to return and continue supporting this deserving small business. I feel my Filipino pride well represented in this establishments cuisine. This is the REAL. Maraming salamat Ymas Ymas for doing it RIGHT! I hope you are able to do more special themed late afternoon/evening events that hilite Metro Detroit Filipinos talent of ALL ages and not just vocal performers (though I would love to see and hear teen and younger vocalists). Think about those local Pinoys who are crafters, artists, poets, writers, apparel designers , stylists, hairdressers, makeup/hair artists, jewelers, etc. I would support seeing them at the same time supporting Yma Ymas and more importantly supporting our local Pinoy people.

I've never had okoy before and I don't like sweet potato but with the shrimp it was a great savory combo! I do wish the buko pandan had nata de coco because that's my favorite ingredient and a little less coconut shavings. I love the concept of having a different menu each week which I found on Facebook (I don't think there is a website).

Good Filipino food is so hard to come by in Metro-Detroit. Usually, it falls into two ends of a spectrum: homestyle (which every Filipino auntie comments, "Why pay for this when I can make it at home?") or elevated fusion (to which the same aunties comment, "This isn't real Filipino food.") Isla 200% perfectly balances the middle ground. The flavors taste authentically Filipino and strike that perfect note of nostalgia while also being better than my family's cooking. (Please don't tell them I said that. I'll be excommunicated.) I'm partial to the Chicken Inasal, though you won't be able to stop me from stealing a few bites of my husband's Pancit Bihon with Pork. We always look forward to eating the Ube Cheesecake at the end, but one of these days I'm going to try more of their offerings. As restaurants go, it's a very small place. We came in on a Saturday during lunch time, and all of the tables were full. Something to keep in mind. (Would love to see them expand to somewhere bigger.) But the servers were friendly and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. I only wish I lived closer to this place, but whenever I'm in the area, I make it an absolute point to drive out of the way to Isla.

I tried the pancit noodles with chicken and egg rolls that were suggested by another customer. The food was OK. I think it would've been better if I had gotten there earlier, I think this had been sitting for a while. The customer service is good. The woman at the register is very friendly. I would give them another try close to the time they open next time. I chose to carry out but they have plenty of seating inside and even benches outside. They have their own parking lot, which is great.

Lumpia is a favorite of mine... they make a good Lumpia. I'm honestly not sure the name of the other dishes, they are not marked, making it difficult to order if you're not familiar with the dishes. The nice lady that is always there was able to give us a rundown of the meats and we ordered a selection of each for dinner that night. Everything tasted good and I hope they're able to reopen someday. :)

Red Ribbon was amazing, and helped to fill the void. We ordered a Lechon roll, Lumpia, and Pancit, and they were all amazing.
