I have been in town for business for a couple of weeks, and I have already eaten here 3 or 4 times. I have enjoyed each of my meals.
In reading some of the negative reviews, I just don't get it. My experience has been very positive. I have received what I ordered, and the quantity was more than I could eat. The fiod has been quite tasty and the qualiry of preparation is good. I have enjoyed everything I ordered, including the spring rolls, wonton soup, and all 4 of the combo specials. The owners are very pleasant, and I have had some great conversations with them. The premises are clean, and it feels like an authentic Chinese restaurant. I am from Toronto and I have been disappointed by Chinese takeaway more than once but not here at the Island Inn Restaurant. Feel confident to dine here if you are staying in Biw Island or even if you are just passing through town as it is an easy 2 minute detour from the main road. ?

Great food
The food actually tasted really good, but we were incredibly disappointed by the lack of meat in our dishes.We wanted beef and snow peas, and they didn't have snow peas, so we got beef and broccoli - no problem. However, the dish was almost entirely broccoli with literally a couple of pieces of meat in it.We also ordered another dish, which was supposed to have seasonal vegetables and shrimp. Again, it was almost entirely broccoli with just a few chunks of meat.We were so disappointed when we got the containers home and opened them. It was literally our rice dish, the noodle dish, and three containers made up of almost only broccoli. The flavour was great, but we definitely paid a lot to eat three containers of almost only broccoli with sauce.We aren't from Bow Island but were visiting family who wanted to treat us to a take out meal. We were all disappointed. We each ate maybe 4 or 5 small pieces of meat each.

Should have read the reviews new to bowisland and I'll never eat here again. Chicken balls weren't cooked still raw doe, no taste to food and by far it's the worst chinese food I've ever ate.. we purchased dinner for 3 and I'm taking it all back. $55 worth of dog food not impressed
Food good for the price
Good food good people affordable prices
Only go there if you're absolutely starving and there's nothing else available

We really enjoy eating here when we are in town. Not sure I would say it is authentic Chinese food but it definitely is delicious. Highly recommend the mushroom fried rice ?. Staff are very nice. You honestly can't go wrong.
Good food good people affordable prices
Food is great and the Calamari is fantastic, just wish they never changed there pizza sauce. Still it is a great place to eat. Never a bad meal for us.
Delicious Chinese and western food at Island Inn - a must visit! Affordable pricing across the menu. I am so happy we found this restaurant.The owners were welcoming and asked relevant questions about our journey.Preparation time was faster than expected and the portion size was generous. The restaurant was clean, and although indoor dining is closed, felt comfortable.
A little gem in small town Alberta! The Chinese food is authentic, and there is also a wide array of western diner selections if you prefer. The owners have run this place for over 20 years, and they continue to serve the local community with a smile on their face. Give this place a try if you’re in the area!
