Island Gourmet was a regular spot for Filipino cuisine when I used to live in the area and I still…read morestop by whenever I get a chance driving back from the Bay. It is located in a small plaza so there's ample parking. Although it is not a big place, it is clean and organized with plenty of tables and the food is BIG in authentic Filipino flavor. This spot offers buffet style serving a variety of Filipino food. You can order à la carte as well as their 1 item or 2 item plate specials. This visit I ordered a 2 item special with the 2 pcs veggie lumpia, monggo bean stew and half rice/half pancit. So delicious just like how my mom and dad used to cook Filipino food. For dessert, gotta get halo halo Lol Sooo good! They also sell some Filipino ice cream. There is a small butcher shop inside offering a few select fresh cut meat, along with fresh longoniza (Filipino sweet sausage). And a few doors down, they also have a small supermarket. Check 'em out, one of the best Filipino spots in the 209! Service is always very good and the staff are very friendly and nice.

From pastries to fried mochi balls on a stick, to melon drinks! Always delicious. NOT the best halo-halo around town, but not the worst either. Lechon Kawali is cooked up like mexican chicharrones (the full belly, not just skin) and is outstanding! I typically order 2 full slices and cut it up myself at home, or gorge on it in the car on the way back. I like the dinuguan and the pinakbet! Chat it up with the in-house butcher for some fresh fish and meats!

Finally was able to try this place out and I was interested in their Filipino breakfast…read more We were immediately greeted and welcomed in which was nice :) The girl recommended the pork sisig w/rice and said it was spicy. We also got a 6pc order of lumpia, half chicken, half pork so that was nice you can pick. The lumpia was freshly fried, you could feel it through the bag, and still hot when we got home. I think I preferred the pork over the chicken filling. The pork sisig was a bit tough and on the charred side and overall a bit hard to eat. It didn't taste fresh. the garlic rice was good though, soft, and fragrant and the portion was generous. the fried egg was cooked well too. Just was hoping for a better pork sisig, and it had white stuff in it. at first we thought it was like melted mozzarella cheese that was cooked w/the pork, but it wasn't cheese....not sure what it was. They make the food to order and it took a while to come out. In the meantime we walked around the store a couple times but then I went to take a seat outside at the table. I would be interested in coming back to try one of their other breakfast items.

Mold warning. Beware of refrigerated items sold at this location. I purchased a buko pie ($12) and…read moreit had mold growing across the entire pie. I didn't notice until I got home because the lid was clouded from condensation. Because I live far away, I called about it and offered to send a video. Instead of offering a refund, they said they'd allow me to come back for a new pie. I called months later to pick up the replacement pie since I was going to be in the area. They said they were out of buko pies and I could choose another--they apparently only had pies available at a lesser value and would comp with senorita bread. I also received a phone lecture from Joy (through Carmela) that this wouldn't be allowed next time... I'd prefer not being sold a moldy pie next time. Thanks! Upon pick up, they only offered the cassava pie ($7), even though buko pies were in the display. No senorita bread given as promised. Condescending service. They'll sell you food that can make you sick and make you out to be in the wrong. In retrospect, I shouldn't have bothered over $12. Ling Nam, please double check your fridge temperatures and throw out pies once they're old. Or sell them frozen.

When we inquired about their pandesal, the cashier said that they were almost ready and would be $5 for a dozen. She went to the back to retrieve them and then proceeded to ring us up for $6. No problem, it's just $1. However, as we were walking back to our car, I opened the bag to discover that the rolls were tiny and only half baked! It was as if they skipped proofing the bread and took them out of the oven way too early! We had to rebake them and they were still dense and lacked the traditional breadcrumbs on top. We ended up tossing them in the trash. Such a waste and disappointment!
