    Sizzling sisig bangus to go. Made fresh to order. It was so delicious. Definitely give this a try if you love bangus (milkfish).
    Kevin A.

    Got the sizzling sisig bangus awhile back forgot to leave the review. Food is great. Service is amazing even if im ordering to go. Ambiance is quaint it has the home feel or like those places in the Philippines. Makes feel homey even just waiting for my to go order. I do recommend getting some food here. Its all made to order. Its not those places where they make a massive amount and have on warmers.

    Sinigang na bangus with shrimp
    Leo C.

    It was cold and we were craving for hot soup. Ordered the sinigang na bangus with shrimp and it was very satisfying. The broth was perfect! The tokwa't baboy was crispy with a good blend of the vinegar, onions and soy sauce. Very delicious and will definitely come back again.

    Not sure why their name in this listing is spelled as one word. It should be 2 words: Miles Bistro. Casual Filipino joint in somewhat quite Filipino Milpitas. Demographically this place fits like a glove. Been in twice and both times 100% Filipino customers. I can understand the language, but I can't really speak it, so I love to hear all the amusing convos in here. The nature of the food here for the most part is family style portioning. I think they may have a small section for individual rice plates, but any other a la carte items will be in huge portioning, like meant for 3-4 people to share. We once came as a party of 2, ordered 3 things and we had so many leftovers that I don't even think we dented half of it whilst there. The dishes are also kinda pricey, but if you do factor in how many meals you can get out of a dish, then it isn't as daunting. Crispy Pata ($32/5*) I ordered this once for take-out and took it to my cousin's house for a celebratory dinner. This is somewhat of a hardcore dish as it is whole pig's foot/knuckle that is deep fried to a glorious crispness. Theirs is a really legit version as it is perfectly seasoned/salted and the contrast of super crisp skin/exterior and tender meat with gelatinous attachments just makes this a very ethnic eater's dish. I'm pretty sure that this is a very popular dish here and rightfully so. This is good enough to be my anchor dish here. Tortang Talong ($16/4*) This is basically an egg battered and fried eggplant. This is a meatless version but they do give you 2 whole Asian eggplants for this price. It is pretty plain but nicely executed. Beef Brisket Kare Kare ($31/4*) Just okay to me as the sauce didn't wow me, not peanut-y enough. The sauce also had a tinge of sweetness that I was not expecting. The beef was indeed tender and beefy and I think this is the first time I actually seen brisket get used. But the best versions I've had for this dish uses oxtails, but for some reason I am seeing it less and less these days. I did like how they put in a good amount of veggies in though to balance out the richness of the dish. Lechon Kawali ($26/3.5*) I think this is the most I've ever paid for this dish. But like I mentioned they did give us a lot, like enough for at least 4 peeps. It is nicely crisped and the oil quality was decent, not overly dark or old tasting, good fry technique. But it was a tad under seasoned, and surprised me quite a bit, since the Crispy Pata dish I ordered another time was seasoned well. But find a sauce to dip this into and most should get resolved. This resto is in a very Filipino centric complex with a Seafood City, Goldilocks and Valerio's. So if ever back on this block, I would opt here than say any of those mentioned for a hot entree or 2 to take home.

    Crispy Pata (they ask if they want us to cut it im like sure :)

    Service 10/10 Food is 4/5 So the pancit to be honest was ok nothing to special . The Crispy Pata was delicious and perfectly cook with the sauce on the side with rice yummy . I a mango float shake it was pretty good tbh kinda too sweet in my opinion . The portions were big and decent . The service was nice our server was a husband and wife and they were nice . I feel like this place gets overlook because there's a Max but I rather take my money here in Miles Bistro because Max is good but it's overhyped and will definitely come back see more dishes .

    We visited this place after going to a fabric store in San Jose. At first we were going to go to Max restaurant next door but they don't open until 11:30 and decided to walk around and find somewhere place to eat nearby since we were extremely hungry. We ran into this place by accident and thought it was a Chinese restaurant, but saw that most pictures displayed outside the windows are Filipino food and decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed and glad we ate there instead of going to Max Restaurant. The food was awesome, especially the Crispy Pata Kare-Kare combination. It was so good that some of us had ordered it again for to go. All of the food that we ordered was good. A little pricey ($30 for the crispy Pata kare kare) but the serving was good for four people. We will definitely go back there the next time we are looking for fabrics in San Jose.

    Papaitan, Lumpia and Crispy Pata
    Alexis C.

    The food here is great, it reminds me of my mom's home cooked Filipino. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and attentive. I came alone, but I would bring friends and family to here 10/10!

    Crispy Pata
    Dong Wook C.

    I love their crispy pata. So unhealthy but sooooo good. Yes, worth risking a heart attack for. In all seriousness, their crispy pata is reasonably priced and fried to perfection. They have 2 sizes. Also picked up some lumpia Shanghai and their chicken wings. Definitely worth the visit. Great value for the amount of food. Simple and casual interior. Staff are very friendly.

    Excellent service, great food and reasonably Priced food. I'm from l.a. our go to place when we are in the bay.

    Half eaten serving of kare kare
    Thea G.

    I ate at this restaurant for the first time and will come back again. I ordered kare kare and to my surprise, the serving was huge, enough to share with 4 people. The dish has a lot of nicely cooked veggies (not overcooked or soggy), and a lot of beef. It's really cheap considering there's so much beef in a serving. I totally recommend this restaurant to those who want to eat some legit home cooked Filipino food.

    With friends and family celebrated my birthday lunch !! Thanks for the treat !!…read more Ordered the CRISPY PATA and surely was crispy deep fried pork leg!! The crunchy skin and savory tender meat was the star of my birthday lunch!! Gotta have Pansit Bihon which was my grandkids favorite!!! On birthday gatherings it symbolizes long life !!!

I agree that employees need breaks but maybe don't take it in the lobby... in your uniform.. while people are waiting and being ignored.

Finally we were seated and were ignored by our server another 15 minutes. The food was HORRIBLE. If you're coming for nostalgia, SKIP IT. You won't find it here.

    Isla Restaurant in Newark is our absolute favorite spot for Filipino food! We've been coming here…read morefor years, and at this point the staff already recognizes us when we walk in, which always makes us feel so welcome. We've honestly never had a bad meal here, everything we've ordered has been delicious. My absolute favorites are the Adobong Pusit and the Sisig, and the Lechon Kawali is another must-try. If you're visiting for the first time, I highly recommend starting with those dishes. One thing we also love is that there's always something happening. On Thursdays and Fridays they serve Filipino street food outside, and on weekends they offer buffets and often have live music, making every visit feel like a little celebration. We've been to all three Isla locations, but the Newark restaurant is still our favorite because it's the closest to us. If you're looking for authentic Filipino food, a welcoming atmosphere, and consistently delicious meals, Isla Restaurant is a place you'll want to visit again and again.

A table was prepared for us to set the setting before a cart full of food arrived and spread on the banana leaves. All the titos and titas agree - the best dish was the sisg which is not included in the boodle fight. The fried squid is an honorable mention. All other options I found to be rather mediocre and not worth getting again. Perhaps they were short-staffed when we arrived but it was hard to find a server to request anything. They were all in the back and only came out to bring out the food. We waited too long to ask for containers or the check. 20% gratuity was automatically applied and the total came out to almost $500. The meal wouldn't have been very enjoyable if not for the company so I don't think this was worth it. I may consider coming back just for the sisig.

    Saw on my social media feed about this place and realized it was the same location as Toto's grill…read morewhich closed many years ago. Was excited to find out another Filipino business taking over. I've had my fair share of tusok-tusok experiences in California and I mean it when I say that I am happy this place opened up. I think prices are pretty fair for a bbq stick in the Bay Area. They carry pork bbq, hot dogs, intestine, kwek-kwek, bettamax, pig ears, etc! Although I wish they had fishball or squid ball for even more variety but thats ok. They provide a marinade to brush on while you grill your own BBQ and provide vinegar and another sweet sauce for you to dip it in post-grilling. Overall, the flavor is really good and you can't really go wrong. They carry other items on the menu in which they serve to you such as sisig, pares, siaomai, empanada (available weekends only), lumpia, melon juice, etc. And yes they have rice! I wish I took pictures of the food we ordered but the kids got to it first while we were bbqing. We went on a Thursday evening so it wasn't too crowded but they still kept the party going with karaoke and music. I could imagine the place being full on weekends. The parking could also get tricky in that area if full too. They take cash, Zelle, and card (with surcharge). The grill is located inside in the center of the restaurant so it gets pretty smoky inside even with all the doors open and vents running. So expect to smell like delicious bbq coming out lol.
