After…read morenearly every dish, we found ourselves looking at each other saying, "Wow... oh my God, that's amazing." The pork belly bao is generously sized and easily shareable. The bun was incredibly fresh, light, and pillowy, while the pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth tender with the perfect balance of richness and tang from the kimchi. The pickled vegetables added a bright crunch that tasted incredibly fresh. We started with the salmon tartare, and it was phenomenal! Rich, buttery, bursting with flavor, and so good we were literally fighting over the last bite. And the scallop? Order one for each person. Seriously. It's far too delicious to share. It had just the right amount of heat, leaving the perfect lingering warmth that immediately made us want another. Do yourself a favor and give yourself enough time to work your way through the menu, because every dish we tried was outstanding. Each plate was thoughtfully curated, beautifully executed, and cooked to perfection. I like to call it the C³ trifecta: curated, created, and cooked. Without question, this is some of the best food we've had in a very long time. We can't wait to come back (when visiting) and continue eating our way through the rest of the menu.

So, I took a day off and headed to our capital city, Victoria, on a hot and sunny afternoon. After getting off the bus at Douglas & Fort and walking a couple of blocks, I arrived at the restaurant. In all honesty, the location isn't in the nicest part of town. The place itself is small, both inside and out. Inside, they were in the middle of a paint job. Outside, the dining area consisted of three picnic tables, each seating about four or so. I hadn't checked their website beforehand, but I told the cashier it was my first visit from Vancouver. She suggested three of their "most popular" dishes, all priced at $18. I chose the Sweet & Sour Pork Belly with Rice. Most entrées seemed to start at $15 and up. I opted to dine outside, given the beautiful weather. The cashier directed me to a self-serve counter for water, condiments, and cutlery, and suggested I sit at the far left by the wooden railing since other tables were occupied. When my food was ready, she called my name. The presentation was nice, but for $18 the portion seemed small -- six small pieces of pork belly, with two pieces being almost entirely fat. The green beans (about 14 pieces, four inches long) were fresh and bright green, not overcooked, and the sauce was fine. Unfortunately, the biggest letdown was the temperature -- lukewarm at best. Even the rice wasn't hot. The menu promised crispy skin, but mine was soft. While the pork was tender, it lacked the crispness you'd find at a good Chinese BBQ meat shop. Adding to the disappointment, the outdoor seating was right beside a parking lot of a liquor store where people smoked and chatted. The smell of cigarette smoke made it hard to enjoy my meal, so I ate quickly and left. It's a semi-self-serve setup, with a tray for returning dirty dishes like in fast-food places. Another note: I paid cash but wasn't given a receipt -- my oversight, since cash payments save them merchant fees. This place might have its fame, but for me, it was overpriced and the atmosphere was not conducive to a relaxing meal. Hot dishes should be served hot, regardless of the weather. Taste-wise, I'd give my dish 3/5. Value: 2/5. Sadly, it's a "one-and-done" visit for me.

We tried several rolls, and the Chubby Daddy was definitely the standout. It had a great balance of flavors and was easily our favorite. The Lucky Strike Roll was also very good- I think it would be a fantastic introduction to sushi for someone who's new to it or a little hesitant, since the smoked salmon flavor is approachable and familiar. The tempura avocado wasn't quite for us, as it was a bit too mushy, but that's more of a personal preference than a criticism of the dish. We also ordered another roll to share, but it wasn't particularly memorable compared to the others. Overall, the fish tasted fresh and was clearly high quality. Combined with the excellent service and a beautiful patio that's perfect for summer dining, we'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

The interior of the restaurant was quaint. The service was minimal. We tried their specialty beef rice noodles called "Beef Crossing The Bridge" - which was served deconstructed: bowl of broth, bowl of noodles, 11 toopings/ingredients (e.g. bean curd, broccoli, a quail egg, carrots, wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots), raw beef, and cooked beef. We also tried an order of pork belly and rice, won ton soup, and pan-fried dumplings. The beef rice noodle dish was bland - broth was lacking flavor and depth but the noodles had a nice, smooth texture. The pork belly dish had tender pieces of pork belly but the dish itself lacked in flavor. The won ton and dumplings were decent but nothing special.

Review Template ===…read more1. VERDICT/VALUE With a menu from across a variety of Asian cultures, Tropical Island tries to everything to everyone and at least for this one takeout experience, it does - falling short only on portion size. === 2. FOOD Our order was takeout and so the portion sizes were small (see photos for scale of the smaller tin pans with chopsticks); however, the quality of the food was decent overall! Chicken Satay ($13) Four skewers come at this price with some sort of mild-ish spicy oil-based peanut sauce on the side. The chicken is relatively meaty and tender! Beef Vegetable Delight ($19) With lotus root, carrots, onions, celery, and broccoli on tap with thin slices of beef, this is a dish you'll enjoy with rice or another starch. Green Beans ($19) One of the recommended house dishes by the server; it was decent - no minced pork like that found in Chinese restaurants, but it does have red and green peppers and onions. === 3. SERVICE The server at the counter was good and professional, balancing myself, app-order delivery drivers, and dine-in guests. The staff here seemed to speak English and Manadarin. The food was prepared fairly quickly, tho this may be due to having only 4 tables of dine-in guests at the time of order. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's not a looker - it starts with narrow hallway with two small bench-type seats for those waiting at the counter, before opening into an older seating area. Wheelchairs and baby strollers should fit well enough once you get through the hallway. Parking is interesting - a few spots are located out front (watch out for one with a small Do Not Park sign on the wall) and there are a few more spots across the alleyway.

This restaurant serves Chinese Indian Food. It was pretty good. We got the Fish Pakora, Chicken Manchurian style Chow Mein, House Style Lamb and Naan Roti. The House Style lamb was the biggest disappointment. It was quite salty and kind of gamy. The Naan Roti wasn't good either. I really liked the Fish Pakora, it was super tasty. The chow mein was good as well. The flavor was unique and very tasty. The restaurant is located in a strip mall where there are plenty of parking. Prices are quite reasonable.

FOOD Pork Galbi ($30) It's one of the few options that includes soup and it may be the only option with a non-spicy broth. It is reasonable sized, comes with bone and boneless meat, seven sides and a cup of rice. Overall, pretty tasty! House Special Kimbab ($16) Again, it's not the cheapest but it is sized well, comes with many pieces and tastes good! Vegetable Bibimbap with Beef ($28) Probably the healthiest option on the menu; it was well-sized tastes good, and comes with a Korean version of Japanese miso soup (slightly different with cabbage leaves). Jjajangmyeon ($16) It feels expensive but you get a fair amount of noodles and the sauce can be served on the side (recommended). === 3.
