"Isla Detroit, a fast casual eatery with a refined approach, is run by classically trained chefs J.P. Garcia and Jacqueline Diño-Garcia. Isla offers a wide selection of rice bowls, noodle bowls and desserts, and some of the entrees reflect the cooking styles of Iloilo, a province in the Philippines’ Visayas region, like the batchoy, a noodle dish served with beef shank and bone broth. Other hearty meals include lechon kawali (crispy pork belly), varieties of pancit as well as sweets like the tropical ube cake and sans rival. As for the interior, a mural featuring both Filipino and American eagles decorates the restaurant’s gray wall, which showcases the chefs’ love for both countries." - Eleanore Catolico
