I came here because of the great Google reviews. I’ll come back because of the food. Not knowing what to order I asked a local that came in behind me what was good. He said everything. Then perhaps realizing that was an overly broad recommendation, he said “Try the special”. So I did. A chicken Katsu plate for about $8. Killer deal! Easily two meals for me. Tender, flavorful, juicy, crispy chicken. Two scoops of rice and Mac salad. The sauce I thought was a little sweet, but still tasty. In the words of a famous Austrian “I’ll be back”.

3/23/2022 So excited that I could have takeout dinner from Garden Island Cafe today! Called in an order to a friendly sounding lady for one order of egg rolls, one order Singapore noodles, one mini chicken cutlet no rice all mac salad, and one mixed plate with spicy pork eggplant and fried fish. In my experience, they’re very flexible when it comes to making different combo plates and requests like all mac salad no rice. Awesome of them! It was ready when hubby went to pick it up and he said he didn’t have to wait. All the food was packed neatly and my plate, which was the spicy pork eggplant and fried fish, was wrapped in plastic wrap so it wouldn’t spill/leak. Then the boxes were in a cardboard box and they were taped down with masking tape. I love when a restaurant packs their food well! All food was delicious! Hubby said that the Singapore noodles were a little salty but good. I loved my spicy pork eggplant because the eggplant was exactly the texture that I like, not too firm and not super soft, and the sauce was tasty. This wasn’t spicy at all, which was fine with me. The fried fish came with two big fillets, one on top of the other. It was crispy and not soggy and the fry mix coating had lots of flavor. Hubby tried to get me to make tartar sauce but it wasn’t necessary because the fish was so tender and yummy! Garden Island Cafe never disappoints! Hope we can eat takeout from here again soon.

This place is my new favorite Chinese/local lunch spot. This should be at the top of your hole in the wall list.

This is the ultimate Cheap Eats! Gigantic portion for a mini or regular size plate lunch. The regular plate lunch you can easily break it down to a minimum of two meals… Maybe three! Highly recommended if you are in the area and don’t got a lot of money. Majority of the regular priced plate lunch is under $12

I go here every weekend for the lunch specials. The plates are big, I can make one plate into two meals, my parents split it into 3. The $7.75 lunch special is available from 9:30-2:00, rotates between 2 dishes from a set of 6 every Monday.

This was fantastic place. The staff was full of energy and helpful. The rice portions were large and very yummy. This place seems very popular among the locals. There was plenty of parking.

This was the first time trying the food from here. My friend & I didn’t know what to choose. There is many choices to chose from the menu. We both decided to try the chop steak, which was really tasty & meat was very tender. We can’t wait to go back & try more things on the menu.

Excellent prices with the 20% discount they run and they give a lot of food. They don’t disappoint. We found this place couple years ago and have been going since. Very decent prices compared to other places.
