but on the plus side, it is BYO, so it makes for a great inexpensive date night place.

i'd say the food is very good, but i don't have a ton of experience with filipino food, so my opinion may not count for much, nor can i speak to its authenticity. (4.5 stars on google, FWIW)

my wife's friend's boyfriend is filipino-american (both parents born in the philipines) and we went there with them once. he said the food was very good, though he said he prefers the food at a filipino place about a mile west of us over in albany park that we still have yet to try (so many little ethnic hole-in-the-walls around us, and so little time to try them all).

anyway, here's a link to Isla Pilipina's menu: https://islapilipina.com/#menurow
Thanks for the link. The menu actually does look pretty good; in fact reading it now, it's making me hungry, being that only had a small sandwich for lunch.

Looking it up on Google maps again, and looking at the pictures some people posted, it's really making me hungry. This looks particularly good to me:

I'm in the mood for fish I guess!
