Loved all of our dishes and would recommend T8 highly if you like spicy and Thai curry. The sweet and sour pineapple shrimp and the vermicelli dish were also incredible!Can't go wrong with pad Thai, wontons, wonton soup or anything on this menu!

People keep gushing over this place, so I decided to try them again. Meat spring roll was fresh & hot. It was tasty with a lot of meat. Chicken & Shrimp Pad Thai was not Pad Thai. Pad Thai is stir fried noodles with a tamarind sauce but this was rice noodles with a spicy peanut sauce spooned over it. It tasted so so & was the least Pad Thaish Pad Thai I've ever had in my life - even Pad Thai fried with ketchup, which purists like to tut tut at - was more legit than this. The lady said it's Canadian style but the Pad Thais I've had in Canada don't taste like this. She said their stir fried beef noodles have a similar sauce. Service is good for an Asian place and the lunch mains are good value, so they get 2.5 stars.

Beautiful authentic cuisine brought to us from Southern Asia. Staff works well together putting a smile on our faces. 1 off the most romantic restaurants i have had the pleasure of sitting in and enjoying the positive energy. Thanks to everyone who worked hard to give us a great experience.

Chicken Ginger Soup... we will return to Spicy Island over and over just for this soup. Have never seen this soup on any menu before. If you like Ginger, it is a must try. Sounds simple but the flavour is amazing, the white meat chicken is unbelievably tender and moist! This soup would be very healing for anyone with a cold. The dumplings were small but very tasty, and the Hot & Sour Shrimp and Vegetables dish was delicious, but we would order this with the rice separate next time as it soaked up all the tasty sauce so not much was left on the shrimp. Hubby loved the Chilli Paneer and Manchurian Eggplant, because he loves Spicy food, if you want your dishes more or less spicy you should let them know. The owner is super nice as everyone has already mentioned. We will definitely be ordering again soon!

Chicken Ginger Soup. If you like ginger, you gotta try it. It sounds simple but the broth is delicious and there is tons of tender and moist white meat chicken, and fresh grated ginger and some raw green onions. We will be back over and over just for this soup! Hubby loves spicy food so he really enjoyed the Chilli Paneer and Manchurian Eggplant. If you like your dishes more or less spicy you should let them know. The owner is super nice! We loved the taste of the Hot and Sour Shrimp and Vegetables, but we will ask for the rice to packed separately next time, the rice soaked up all the delicious sauce and there wasn't much left on the shrimp. For those who can't handle the heat we ordered Beef and Broccoli, the beef was tender and tasty but would request extra garlic and ginger next time. If you have a favourite Hakka or Thai dish, don't order it, try something new and different. We did and found a new favourite soup. Serious fans... we will be back soon!
I LOVE Spicy Island, so different from all the other take outs we have had, I gave up ordering take out until my husband brought home Spicy Island food.The Spices are perfect, very clean, not the lard feeling left in your mouth, soups, General Tao, Veggie Tofu, all so good.The owner was so friendly and so appreciative, I wish them nothing but the best. They for sure will have our business, wont go else where!

This place hands down best place for take out in Newmarket! The place is clean, the owner is so lovely to deal with, patient to explain the dishes. We have been back 3 times in the 1.5 months, we rarely order take out but this place is so good! Food is fresh, give them a try it is worth it.

I go to this place on my lunch time atleast once a week, The owners are very friendly people and the food was amazing. I had Chill chicken and fried rice and it was very tasty and yummy. A week before I Had the chicken fried rice and it is very good and would recommend this place for your lunch/dinner time. Very reasonable price

Very poor quality food. Makes me think that every review they have is fake or they paid for. This joint does not deserve more than 1.5 stars.I can tell this place is not Thai… the pad Thai dish that I ordered was the worst I’ve ever had. I ate three bites of my $20 meal and threw it out. Woke up the next day with an awful stomach pain and the runs. Stay away from this joint. Big regrets.
