About Ocean Island Restaurant

The Ocean Island Restaurant is a local Asian eatery that offers a variety of dim sum and other traditional dishes. The restaurant may not be a standout, but it provides a convenient and reasonably priced option for those craving Asian cuisine in the area. The har gow, or shrimp dumplings, have received mixed reviews, with some finding the flavor and texture lacking. However, the shrimp egg roll and roast pork were more positively received, with the roast pork praised for its juicy meat and crispy skin.

The restaurant accepts cash and cards, including Visa and Mastercard, with no additional fees. Customers have been impressed by the quality of the food, especially the deep-fried items, which are not soggy or greasy. The baked buns, rice rolls, and dumplings have been praised for their great texture, fluffiness, and moisture. The sesame balls and egg custard tarts have also received positive reviews.

While the dim sum experience may not be entirely satisfying for those seeking an authentic experience, the restaurant offers a no-frills option with dishes like barbecue pork and duck. Customers have enjoyed the depth of flavor added by the inclusion of green onions and cilantro in the Chashu Cheung Fun (BBQ Pork Rice Roll).
