I have only had amazing experiences at island spa and sauna. The whole facility has a clean, relaxing feel to it. I love the amenities already but this was my first time trying their food. I had the vegetarian dumplings (steamed not fried because I was trying to be healthy) and they were delicious. They were served hot with a side of sauce. Service was quick and friendly!

The food is so subpar it's sad that you have to get it if you're hungry in Island Spa because it's the only option. They have no competition so there's no motivation to improve. Everything is quite subpar for what the cost is. Tonkatsu is so thin and small in portion. Soondubu has a shallow cheap flavor. Island spa experience would be a lot better if cafe island stepped up their food game.

I understand that the pandemic is tough, but the place was super crowded with hardly any available seats to sit! Yet the cafe has declined in quality and offerings. For one, they removed several items off the menu - including the spicy rice cakes (ddukbokki), which I craved and would come to Island Spa specifically for! There are very few staple Korean options left... Second, the food was just bland and not great for vegetarians. They don't even replace the side dishes to be meat-free if you are vegetarian. I got the bimbimbap and was really disappointed- the vegetables are not even pickled nor they have any oil/sauce.... I essentially got steamed vegetables and plain rice for $16. Third, they've become a bit stingy. When I asked for sesame oil to add to my bland rice, I was told I had to pay $1 extra. They used to just keep the bottles out for us to use as condiments. They also pre-pour the Gochujang for the bimbimbap instead giving a bottle (as is typical at Korean restaurants) and would presumably charge if you asked for more. My boyfriend got the Tonkatsu and there was hardly any meat on it - he was basically eating a chip! Sadly, this experience has definitely made me less likely to want to come to Island Spa & Sauna (or recommend it to friends), and now will definitely eat out before/after my visit instead of eating here.

Pretty ok Korean food court located in Island Spa and Sauna. I think there might be better Korean food outside the spa area but this is pretty decent for what is offered. I got the mushroom ramyeon- it is filling, the mushrooms were rubbery (which I like), and it was perfectly spiced.

Better for sushi. Avoid the beef bibimbap! The beef tasted old. Volcano Roll: too spicy and spicy tuna was salty. The imitation crab was too spicy I had to remove. Pineapple wasn't ripe. Island Roll: The sauce they used for the salmon was sweet and mild. Not spicy. Beef Bibimbap: ground beef tasted old and half the veggies were raw- carrots, pickled daikon. Avoid. Sushi seems more fresh than the bibimbap and not heavily doused in sauce.

wonderful environment, piece of mind great food... wish the Sauna was open but it's still a wonderful place to just relax and be one with yourself

Island Spa was already one of the best places I'd visited, and on top of that, their cafe is absolutely outstanding! Their sushi is one of the best I've had in Jersey without a doubt. I tried the crab roll and the spicy tuna and both were delicious and almost melted in my mouth. The authentic flavor really came through in each roll! The process to order is great and really safe which made me feel really comfortable to order here again (which I did two more times). You can order online and the host will bring out the food to you outside so it is essentially curbside pickup. Everyone is wearing a mask and gloves and the service is fast as well. Truly a great pandemic find!
Very clean SPA. Stuff friendly. Highly recommended.

My favorite location for delicious korean food. Good place to catch up with friends. The bill was fair for the quality of food. Kinda of like a cafe in Phoenix that I enjoyed.

I love Island Spa on the regular so I'm so excited that they now offer their great food to-go!! I highly recommend their sushi (the salmon roll is a basic choice but it's my favorite) and the Island fries, which are french fries with kimchi, bulgogi, spicy mayo and eel sauce and it's to die for. You won't find anything else like it around the area!

Great food overall. Order online and wait, they'll bring food out straight to the table.

Double posting bc its that good! This is my go to order post-massage at Island Spa. Their outdoor dining adheres to all proper precautions for the guests to enjoy and dine safely.
