They serve good authentic Asian food! Luv their Laksa soup noodle & honey banana with ice cream. The server & the chef were very nice. They reminded us repeatedly the mild spicy Laksa would still be spicy even we replied we were good for that. When I reserved our table ... and requested if they could prepare Laksa just 2 hours ahead of our booking time, they said sorry as this gonna be arranged beforehand. However, they called me 15mins later they could cook 2 bowls for us as per our request. The above gestures & responses made us homey experience & we do touched and appreciated. 🥰💯 Somehow a good restaurant should not depend only on their food quality but the connections the experience we have encountered! ☺️ Read more

A huge variety on the menu. Great food. Very kind service. One time, the primary server was helping in the back, but came out to say hello to me at my table. And they have cocktails now!

The highlight of this dinner was definitely the beef ribs. Cooked fresh, sizzling on the plate, tender and loved the sauce over the ribs! 🤤 The roti with dipping sauce and the chowmein were also quite good. The food took a bit of time to come out but they did offer ... us some very tasty kettle corn while we were waiting. Servers were all friendly and polite. I would return especially for the beef ribs!

The restaurant we planned to go to were about to close for the night so we went to Tropical Island. We got there after a short drive. From the outside the place looked small but it is actually bigger inside. The menu has lot of choices. We had ... the coconut slush to start with. Ordered the Taiwanese beef noodle, the Tropical Island friend rice which had Chinese sausage, shrimp and chicken. Both were quite tasty. My wife had the mixed veggies and the 3 kind of mushroom plate. We very much enjoyed the food. Nice flavours, decent portions. Our server was very kind and attentive. Other patrons seem to liked their meals as well. Read more
