This place is a small family owned and ran quick service Filipino restaurant. They have some classic and staple dishes, some street food, and a ton of drinks and dessert options. We came here for dinner but they also have some Filipino snacks and sauces. It's impossible to find banana ketchup right now (iykyk) but I was lucky enough to get the last one they had. That was a happy surprise. Prices are very reasonable. Customer service is great. Everyone is so friendly. It's a small place so there's just a handful of seating. It's also great for to go orders. There was a handful of people there and to go orders but they got our orders out pretty quickly. The food, drinks, and halo halo were all great. Everything was fresh and made to order. We all enjoyed everything. Overall, great experience. Perfect spot to get Filipino food and dessert fix or just for a quick yummy meal. Will definitely be back to try their other stuff. It was hard to choose with so many good options. read more

Finally was able to stop by Isnak over on Fry Road in Katy for some delicious Filipino street food. All the meats they use there are Halal!!! Loved the BBQ Beef Skewers over Rice and that Pancit Noodles with Chicken definitely made it good. You also must try the Lumpia Eggrolls with Beef and refresh yourself with their Halo Halo Shake. Family owned and the couple that works there are very sweet!!! Will be back soon the next time I'm out there!!! read more

This is the best halo halo I have ever had. This is a family run restaurant in a strip mall. The owners were very kind, and they know how to cook. Loved their boba smoothies, milkshakes, and their skewers with yellow rice. The had great lumpia and pancit. read more

Walking in I definitely loved the way it felt inside , a homey feel and welcoming. I got the beef bbq skewers and my gf got the same. Loved every bite of it and my gf had the same reaction. I had to also try DaOriginal Halo - Halo , and man I must say I found my go to spot. Everything I got was delicious we also got some smoothies (UBAE Bee , UBElicious) that hit the spot with the meal. Service was perfect , especially for our drinks. Will be coming back to try new items from the menu, a first for Filipino food for me. read more

Great, convenient, easy place to get Filipino food in the area. They have a large menu than includes food and drinks. The prices were very reasonable and good portion sizes. My favorite item that I got was the lumpia. Everything else was good: not too salty or sweet. Very unique flavors and I would come back. read more

Was so excited to eat my Ube Halo Halo that I didn't get to take a picture. Refreshing, tasty and not too sweet

I tried their Palabok and I thought it was okay. It has more of an herb taste. Not sure if that even makes sense but my first thought was it's a little similar to Jollibee's Palabok if you like that. The portion was good for the price! It had egg slices and I think a shrimp Katsu which was a nice surprise! Service was great and fast. I'd like to try their Halo halo next time. It's in a plaza so there are parking. Inside is very colorful and have that Filipino vibes. read more

iSnak Cafe - The dumplings with sweet chili oil, and cheesy fries, Okinawa tea with boba and the hibiscus and strawberry tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Katy, Texas

Heard about iSnak from Instagram and decided to check it out when I was in Katy. Always happy to support small businesses. Decent store with filipino food and desserts for a reasonable price. Ube-licious signature drink - ube macapuno smoothie. They put actual macapuno in the smoothie, along with coconut jelly. I was happy about that. A little on the sweet side. I'm not sure if you could adjust the sweetness to this drink. Pancit palabok - included breaded chicken? (Or pork? Couldn't tell.) in their version. Very interesting.. didn't exactly love it though. Made fresh to order, so that's good. Lumpia Shanghai - beef egg rolls, 10 pieces for $5. Bite size, crispy, and comes with sweet chili sauce. These were also made fresh to order. Puto - it's okay. Haven't had puto in a long time so I wanted to get it. Barely taste the cheese though. Overall, I would rate it 3.5 stars. The service was good and they were friendly, I can't complain. Wasn't completely "wow'ed" by their food, but it wasn't terrible. They had some other food that was pre-made and ready to take home. They definitely have a wide variety of drinks that I would like to try. I would also want to try their halo halo since the pictures look good. I didn't get the halo halo due to having to drive back home in the loop. Will eventually come back to try it and other drinks. Would overall recommend, but wouldn't go out of my way to drive here. read more

Excellent food and great friendly service! I had seen someone review this place on TikTok and thought we would give it a try and it did not disappoint. I had the original Halo and the fried milkfish and my son had a strawberry smoothie and the bbq chicken plate and all was very delicious! We will definitely return! read more

This is a great Filipino returner that has both food and snacks! When I first walked into the store, I was greeted with witty wall designs that are hilarious. The owners are also very sweet and kind and don't hesitate to help. I had their halo halo which is a refreshing sweet drink that contains taro and other delicacies such as jellies. Their palabok and their fries siomai is really good too. read more

Being a Filipina, I'm so glad that we have a great spot here to pick up some Filipino snacks and specialty drinks, especially during this summer heat! Their Siopao Asado (steamed buns w/shredded chicken and a sweet garlic/soy sauce on the side) is so good, and if you'd like to try it on the go or in their cafe, they can warm it up for you while you take the rest of the pack home, since they sell by the pack. The Beef Lumpia Shanghai (Filipino egg rolls) are also tasty! The drink menu is extensive and colorful, and they of course have Halo-Halo here, a Filipino dessert staple! I haven't tried their Halo-Halo yet, but their UBAE Bee Milk Tea is a nice sweet treat. I love that they use actual Ube Halaya in it and not a powder base. The customer service was also so kind and efficient! Their cafe is also really clean and quaint. Overall, I'm so glad that iSnak is representing well and that I don't have to travel to Cali just to get some decent Filipino snacks (aside from my family's home cooking of course), but truly I know where I'll be to satisfy my Ube cravings on the go. I'll be back to try more, and especially since they cater some party trays too! read more

iSnak cafe is... not great. I like to think I'm half a Filipino at this point, so lemme try jotting some thoughts on this little Pinoy joint just so I can get into the mood to write food reviews again. - So the first thing that I wanted to try was the "Fried Siomai with Java Rice" which my Pinoy friend drooled over after she saw it in the menu. So I thought it must be good. Well I couldn't tell since the "java rice" was just sloppily steamed rice thrown in turmeric powder with a slice of lemon and some of the cheapest chili oil they could steal from the nearest Chinese takeout bundled in. The fried siomai tasted less of pork and more of raw flour, and I wish I was trying to be funny. When I sent the picture to my friend it destroyed both of our dreams, so that is a pass for me. - The next thing I got was another yellow rice thing that I wish was different from the "java rice" but really was not: The beef BBQ sticks. They somehow managed to make Texas beef BBQ taste like braised pork! Much wow! Instead of some chili oil you get some radish in vinegar this time, which was heart-sinkingly reminiscent of the stuff they gave at CrabBoil Express in Aurora near the Chicago suburbs, which my friend agreed was the greatest insult to Pinoy cuisine ever. - The third main dish I got was the pancit palabok. Now I had high hopes for this one, since the palabok was my favorite thing from Jollibee and Jollibee is so above any other fast-food chain in taste it's pretty ridiculous. I also have good memories of palabok from my guy Miguel at the Manila Bistro - a place as ghetto as you could get - so I know what good palabok tastes like: You either have sweet, soft, easy to digest and scrumptiously eggy like Jollibee, or you have decadent pieces of seafood on a wedding-worthy base. This iSnak palabok had neither of those. What it did have though, is deep fried shrimp, which is normally one of my favorite dishes, until the deep fried shrimp broke down the moment it hit the spoon like what little optimism I had left in life. - The arroz caldo was... actually pretty good. It has a lot of warmth with just the right amount of ginger and chicken, and it helped with my achoos a little bit so I have no complaints with it. It's one of the few good dishes in here and is the reason why this place got a D in my list instead of E or F. - My appetizer of choice this time was the "homemade" fish cakes. I don't know why this home decided to use tteok instead of fish for their filling, but c'est la vie I suppose. (If you don't know what tteok is, imagine rice but textured as jello.) - And my dessert was the Ubelicious "drink", which... was actually quite delicious wow why do I not have any complaints about this. My only possible qualm is that it's a little too sweet for my taste, but then again y'all get birthday cakes from Walmart. Other than that, it was a very refreshing, cold, creamy, exotic dessert. All in all, iSnak is like a minefield with the occasional gem. Most dishes are frankly quite bad, but they do have good, authentic Filipino dishes in the menu somewhere, if you are lucky enough to spot it. Would recommend for anyone who just won a casino streak. read more

The service was friendly; however, I did not appreciate how I was charged an extra dollar for ube ice cream each for my and my wife's halo halo order when I wasn't informed that ice cream was an extra charge. It was my first time there and although I did see the notice on the menu stating that ice cream is an extra charge AFTER I placed my order, I would've loved to been notified at the time I was placing my order. Ambiance felt empty as it seemed like they were undergoing reservations and the food was okay. Likely will not come back to this restaurant. read more

Favorite snack place to go awesome price friendly service ,palabok a must try you'll love it , as for ambiance is great my wife love coming here every time when she crave halo - halo we tell friends and family to come here and try it for themselves read more

Went here a couple weeks ago with some friends. Inside looks like a small family mom shop style. You get in line order your food and take a seat, I was expecting for them to call out our order names/numbers, but they brought it right to us! Very nice. Some of the food is good, some were okay. I got Pancit Bihon (rice noodle dish) needs siracha 7/10, Arroz Caldo (egg drop soup) 7/10, Beef Tapa (flavored beef) & yellow rice w/ fried egg 8.7/10, and Buko Loco (coconut drink) 10/10. It was okay. It's a nice take home dinner or snack if it's on the way! read more

Food was authentic! Taste really good! Everything for me that we order Is just so perfect. Halo2 was a boom! Bilo2 was so good! Not too sweet just perfect!

Plus another This place is AWESOMENESS overload ... You have to try the UBERLOAD halo-halo, Siopao (both beef and chicken taste just as good), BBQ (again both chicken & beef taste delicious) pancit (palabok & bihon again are both out of this world). This place is so homie like as if your eating at your Lolas (grandmothers) dining room. You just feel so at home. I highly recommend this place if your looking for a great filipino food. They are so accommodating and very welcoming. read more

This little small cafe brings a taste of filipino fusion to the Katy area. It's not as authentic as I would've wanted but it's good for getting "isnak" (a snack). My family got some things on the menu that were good like the arroz caldo (chicken rice poridge), the beef mami (beef noodle soup) and their siopao (beef and chicken steamed buns). The beef siomai is a ok as well. But the things on the menu we got that could do some revamping as far as flavor is their palabok (it didn't have the umami shrimp creamy flavor) I was looking for, the taho (it was lacking in the flavor and the tofu was to firm for my liking). The japkorn is suppose to be an elote flavor with a korean flair but I was unhappy with the powdered cheese they added. I also didn't like the powdered artificial flavored cheese on the fries, which i thought they were going to put real cheese. The lumpia was the tiniest I've ever had. All in all for filipinos we were shocked that the food wasn't as great as we wanted but hopefully they can have improvement in their food. Im sorry but I wished we could've been more happier with its flavors but for Katy area I suppose others might like it. But what makes their place stand out is the cute decor, their friendliness and service. But im not sure if there will ever be a return since we are just visiting. read more

The food service and ambiance of this quaint and quite lil cafe is on point. You're going to receive great personal services and you'll get exactly what YOU want. We went there especially for the halo halo which there are several different concoctions. You must try the Mangolicious! We ordered a few tapa bite plates and loved everything. Forgot to take pictures but just want to put it out here.....stop buy. You won't be disappointed. read more

First time trying this and it was just okay to me. I don't believe it was anything the restaurant did wrong, just my personal tastes. I got the chicken sticks with rice, Siomai 8 ct with chili garlic sauce and my coworker got the Beef Asado Siopao, and Pancit Bihon (which I tried as well). My favorite was the siomai. It came with this not too spicy chili oil. Everything else was again, good, but far too sweet for my tastes. The was hot and flavorful. I'd be interested in coming back to try the desserts and famous drinks. read more

Ugh hurts me to give a small business a meh review, but the place is just blah. The beef lumpia (baby spring rolls with beef) are the best thing here. We tried the beef pares mami, which is a Filipino ramen dish but the beef cubes are not tender and the plastic fork will just break trying to cut it up lol. The chicken barbecue skewers are dry and tough too, and lastly the beef buns were just a mess. I ordered the chicken buns but the girl gave me and just packed my order to go, and I didn't want to bother exchanging. They've tons of deserts but we were just too turned off by the rest of the food read more

Had a chance to stop by Isnak Cafe (located in Katy on Frys Rd) yesterday with my wife and ordered their famous "Da Original Halo Halo" and "Uberload Halo Halo". Surprisingly, it was much better than we expected! Lots of ingredients including the green pinipig (roasted flat rice crispy) which provided great texture to the dessert! Added an extra scoop of ice cream (for only $.50) which completed the wonderful treat! It comes in a 24 oz cup which was pretty big and worth the $6.49! This place comes with many dessert options including Filipino pastries and drinks. They also have some rice dishes along with snacks. Would definitely recommend for all Filipinos and people who are not familiar with Filipino desserts! According to the friendly owner, they have been opened for over a year. Be sure to stop by and let them know Solomon sent you! read more
