OMG - we just had one of the tastiest dinners ever on this wonderful rock we live on. Hot & Sour soup, Wor Won Ton, BBQ Pork Chow Mein (thin noodles), BBQ Pork Foo Young, Tofu with Vegetables, and Lemon Chicken. We were tired and just didn’t want to cook so this awesome family restaurant delivered us the freshest, hottest and most impressive dinner delivery ever!!! Thank you Golden Island for full bellies and content smiles all round. You outdid yourselves tonight.

Man, whoever answers the phone is a real knob. The guy had me on my back foot immediately. I didn't manage to make an order; I just said thanks, but no thanks. I was trying to give this place another chance because I've had friends insist it's ok, although last time I ate there the food resembled Chinese food in appearance only, it was inedible. Save your money and time!

Great place to visit for your birthday

I haven’t had Chinese food this good since the 70’s especially from delivery. I run a resort on Saltspring, so I hear from all the guests what’s good and what’s NOT. Delivery is the WORST option ever, pay double for yesterdays food. DISGUSTING 🤮 100% of the time especially on Islands, you don’t have to be good you just have to be there. I ordered Jipway chow mein, chicken balls and deep fried shrimp. The chicken was FRESH moist and tender, the prawns/shrimp were the same cooked perfectly NOT oozing too much OLD oil, the vegetables, meat (for the most part) and the sauce in the chow mein were great not mushy and tasteless. The portion size were AWESOME, it arrived HOT and still crispy! Pretty much a miracle. I don’t give out positive reviews as a rule, if I’m going to spend time it’s to warn people. If I had any criticism it would be the sweet n sour sauce, not great, mostly sweet no sour basically an easy fix. I was told I should have ordered the crispy noodles with the chow mein definitely will next time!

Bad experience he told us that if we wanted to have food allergies catered for that we should leave the waiter was so rude

The staff were very accommodating and very friendly. Food was delicious and the portions were very generous.

This is one of the best meals we had during our 5-day stay in Salt Spring. The family that runs this restaurant puts a lot of passion in their food and very friendly. My wife and I are from Vancouver and we're pretty picky about our Asian food. This is honestly one of the best fried rice (shrimp fried rice) I've ever had. I ordered it twice during our stay. Thanks for a great chat, meal, and atmosphere!

Parking: Parking is very convenient.

I am very disappointed by this. I ordered take out, and my chicken is chewy and flavourless and veggies undercooked. The delivery driver was very nice!

Food is great quality appreciate that they have such a variety of dinner for one. Portion could be a little bigger for the rice and noodles though. Otherwise great.
