Isla Kusina Cafe in Queensland

"I and my Filipino international student scholars accidentally found this Pinoy restaurant at Orchid Plaza during our Cairns trip. I ordered "beef bulalo" and it did justice to my cravings of Pinoy taste. The owners were also extra hospitable and friendly which made us all feel at home. And of course, the excellent food selections cannot be ignored! This is a must-visit for those who also wants to try Filipino home-made cuisine!"

"Just awesome!! Really friendly, helpful and - that's why we were there - fresh made food with a great taste (at an absolute reasonable price!). Will definitely go there again."

"One of the best Filipino cuisine we had here in Cairns. It is centrally located, easy to find. The food is very delicious, we had salmon soup, sisig- pork dish, noodles combination and spring rolls. Feels like home. The staff are very attentive, professional and friendly. Special shout out to Mr JP, Mr John and Ms Patricia for all the excellent service. Highly recommended if you’re in Cairns."

"Ate at Pork Adobo and honestly, the food was really good. The flavors were on point, well-seasoned, and super satisfying without being too heavy. Everything tasted fresh and nicely prepared. Service was great too — friendly staff and pretty quick, which made the whole experience chill and enjoyable. Overall, a solid spot for good food and good vibes. Would definitely come back"

"The food was very hearty. The lady was so friendly and we felt so welcomed here. We can't wait to come back to Cairns and vist her again! Thank you"

"I’m a Cairns local and half Filipino and trust me when I say the food here is incredibly delicious. The flavours are deep and seasoned well! Sour, salty, sweet and all the good things I love! I’ve visited and so far I have had the sinigang, dinuguan and pancit seafood combination and highly recommend all. ALSO don’t forget to sing some karaoke while there (it’s a Filipino tradition at this point ). Thank you to owner and chef! Such a good time"

"Super sarap! Isla Kusina serves legit Filipino food-rich flavours, well cooked, and very satisfying. I left full and happy. So glad Cairns has a place like this! Made me so happy eating here, felt like home. Will definitely come back!"

"Just had Filipino food here and honestly, it hit the spot. The sinigang was sooo good like, actually better than most of the sinigang I’ve tried back in the Philippines. Super comforting. The pork bbq was fire too, really tasty and cooked just right. But what really got me was the lumpia.. it legit felt like home. So familiar and just made me happy. And the turon? Amazing. Perfect crunch and sweetness. Been craving Filipino food for a while and I’m so glad this place lived up to my expectations. Definitely coming back for that sinigang."
