Honestly the best beef chip suey I’ve ever had. Chop suey, Fried rice, sesame chicken and almond chicken is my tops here. the chow mein is a tad bland but still great. Great service and small restaurant vibe. Highly recommend.

Plentiful portion and quality dishes! Tried out combo C and it's highly recommended—although the sesame chicken was a lil tasty, the fried rice and veggies were well cooked! Arguably pricey menus but at least the price was proportional to the quantity.

Lovely gem of a place in Kelowna! The taste is authentic and fresh every time. The portion is generous and worth the price, and the owners are really friendly! Definitely a worth try because they’re options are so varied. :))

Best Cantonese food in Kelowna. It's almost comparable to places in Vancouver or Markham. They do techniques well, but I would avoid their chow mein/stir fried noodle dishes. Their noodles don't have the best texture in terms of noodle type. But their fried rice or rice plates (碟頭飯) are amazing. I recommend the sweet and sour pork rice plate. Well seasoned vegetables and actual meat, not fried chunks of fat or doughy meat. The owner lady is nice too. Good service.

Needed some authentic Chinese food, and this is a really good place to get some. I recommend the eggplant, stir-fry veggies, Hainese chicken, fried wontons, and especially seaweed soup! It’s located close to UBCO too.

Ordered Skip for the first time, got the standard hwite people stuff . Chow mein could use a little work, but good and tasty. Thick noodle dish was really good, and black bean chicken was great. Spring rolls thumbs up. Yep I’ll order again.

Food was incredible! Since moving up here from Vancouver we've been missing really good Chinese food. We've tried a dozen places in Kelowna. All subpar. Anyhow tried Golden Island today. Amazing. As good or better then Vancouver.
