Golden Island Restaurant

As a CBC (Canadian born Chinese), I was impressed with the quality of food served at Golden Island Restaurant. I have a tradition of trying out Chinese restaurants during my travels so I have eaten at a lot of places worldwide. The beef chow fun and Jip Way (Hong Kong style crispy noodle) chow mein were well presented and tasty. I also enjoyed talking with one of the owners named Sam and found out he is an ex-Victorian and moved to Salt Spring Island some forty years ago. Will definitely dine in again on my family's next trip back....

Best Chinese Food I have ever eaten. Can't wait to eat there again soon :

Good food, excellent and fun service. We go there often.

Never knew how good I had it with Golden Islands till I moved off SSI and tried to find good chinese food elsewhere. Always get some when I'm visiting the island. No substitute for it.

The Golden Island Chinese Restaurant has been operating on Salt Spring Island for over 35 years. On any given day you will find Sam, Ted, Winnie and Norman hard at work in the Restaurant. The food is excellent and we have been going there to eat, or getting take out, probably once a week for the entire time they have been in business. Our favourite dishes are the Beef Chow Fun, BBQ Pork Chow Mein, Chicken Chop Suey and the Honey Garlic Lean Pork. We think the prices are reasonable and find the establishment very clean. We would highly recommend giving it a try. One complaint .... they are closed on Mondays!
