Izzy & Wooks, a new Filipino American restaurant concept that specializes in classic American sandwiches with a Filipino twist, officially opened at the Metreon in San Francisco’s SOMA Pilipinas District on April 10, 2024.
Philippine Consul General Neil Ferrer joined San Francisco District 6 Supervisor Matt Dorsey and SOMA Pilipinas Director Raquel Redondiez in a ribbon-cutting ceremony, led by Izzy & Wooks owners and longtime Fil-Am restaurateurs Manuel and Cheryl Ramirez. Consul General Ferrer lauded the Ramirez couple for opening their new venture during Filipino Food Month, and for their contributions to the SOMA and Fil-Am communities.
Izzy & Wooks is inspired by Philippine cuisine, with a menu that includes Adobo Burger, LongaLog Sourdough English Muffin, Inay’s BBQ Chicken Leafy Bowl, Chicken Sisig Fries, CalamanTea, and Ube Butter Cookie Shake.
The restaurant also uses ingredients and condiments produced in the Philippines.
