Island Cafe & Bistro - Edmonton, Alberta

A quaint place for a relaxing meal. The staff was friendly, and attentive. The roti was light, crisp, and fluffy. The noodles were humble, yet grand in flavour. The Buk Keh Tu I had was delicious.

This place advertises as vegan, but also has half the menu for meat eaters, so all will enjoy. My husband is not a fan of spicy food, but they were easily able to accommodate. Green onion cakes were standard, but the roti were even better! Make sure you get them! I ... had a vegan curry with drumsticks, which was super tasty and my husband had a chicken that fell off the bone it was so tender. The owners are super friendly and very sweet. If you don't know what to get, just ask! They'd be happy to teach you about Malaysian food. Read more

Laksa curry noodles is so delicious, and soy milk with grass jelly is a perfect match for spicy (I chose medium spicy) noodles. My friend likes the chao-mein very much. I can tell that the lady restaurant owner puts a lot of effort into the crepe cake because it is ... so elegant. I went to here this evening, and I know I will be back many many times in the future. I also want to say thank you to owners. You really made my day : ) Read more

What a gem that we came across. The restaurant is small, very quaint and simple. The owner came and greeted us right away, and she was so nice. Walked us through all the vegan menu choices, very friendly and so happy to share food stories with us. Food was authentic and very ... fresh, I had the vegan wor wonton soup, and my husband had a vegan chicken and rice dish that she recommended. We also had fried vegan wontons. Everything was excellent and the vegetables were very fresh. The owner’s husband came out to greet us and brought two homemade traditional hot sauces for us to try... amazing!! To drink we had the vegan Taro bubble tea, huge portion, I couldn’t finish it. The only reason they didn’t get 5 stars was because of the bathroom. It wasn’t very clean, the hand towels were in a basket you had to dig wet hands into and when I threw it out, the garbage was full with a diaper right on the top... meh. Not a big deal, but it could have been cleaner. Highly recommend for something that feels authentic and homemade. The owner told us that her grandmother taught her how to make everything, so you know it is/was also made with love. Read more

Great tasting food with great customer service! Family owned, the owners are very friendly with every customer and makes sure that you enjoy the food. Authentic cuisine, you can taste the difference between other "Malaysian" restaurants. Great desserts as well with delicious white coffee! I highly recommend this small cozy ... place. Read more
