Plentiful portion and quality dishes! Tried out combo C and it's highly recommended—although the sesame chicken was a lil tasty, the fried rice and veggies were well cooked! Arguably pricey menus but at least the price was proportional to the quantity.
We decided to try this as its not too far from where we live, the delivery came promptly,. The food however was not up to par, the ginger beef was beyond greasy and is deep fried, actually its the worst we have ever had, squeeze it and grease ooozes, smelled fishy, no ginger flavours, it was beyond overcooked, we kept trying thinking we were off, tossed about 80% of it. The chicken balls were ok but again a bit fishy which brings to mind the oil in the deep fryer is/was likely long overdue for changing. Chicken fried rice was ok but again a bit fishy, not much chicken in the dish but a good sized portion, hope its better for others, maybe short staffed and not well trained cooks the day we ordered, unlikely to use them again, sorry.
Food was incredible! Since moving up here from Vancouver we've been missing really good Chinese food. We've tried a dozen places in Kelowna. All subpar. Anyhow tried Golden Island today. Amazing. As good or better then Vancouver.Recommended dishesSour Pork
Omg I loved my bbq pork chow mein! With sriracha sauce on the side
Food delivery to students living on campus costs $4, it'd be nicer if they charge less considering they are so close to campus! But the Chinese food there fairly authentic, the food was good however the green beans I had was not super fresh, I wish they had a website with digital menu! It's worth a try
There is no meat in the sweet and sour pork. It's just batter. There is also no beef in the beef & broccoli.Food: 1/5
Was very hungry so decided to do a quick pickup from Golden Island. Called the order in and was ready in 15 mins for pickup. Ordered combo for one B, sweet and sour pork, almond chicken and chicken chow mein. Took me 5 mins to walk back home. Food was still very hot, portions were large. As for quality, this is where stars were lost. The pork was breaded and extremely small bits, it was the chewiest s&s pork ever. Many of the breaded bits didn’t even have pork in them. I could barely eat it. The almond chicken was battered with a few almonds sprinkled on topno sauce so just tasted like plain old chicken. The chicken chow mein consisted of lots of noodles, a wee bit of cabbage and if you looked hard enough, there was maybe 3 teency pieces of chicken. Bad choice going with the “B” selection maybe…but too bad cause I was so hungry and looking forward to Chinese food.
There is no beef in ginger beef. Only reason I’m giving 3 stars is because other dishes I ordered beef with veggie and beef chow mein were good.
Food was trash tasted like it was three days old their beef chow mein was just mush with no beef sweet and sour pork was dry and burnt will never go back avoid this place
Needed some authentic Chinese food, and this is a really good place to get some. I recommend the eggplant, stir-fry veggies, Hainese chicken, fried wontons, and especially seaweed soup! It’s located close to UBCO too.
