  • I discovered Spice Island through a co-worker about 8 years ago. As other reviewers have said, the exterior is nondescript and kind of sketchy looking--v. easy to pass right by without noticing what's inside. But don't let that deter you from going in and sampling some of the best Pan-Asian food in the City. I like hot tea, and when I saw that Spice Island had a separate menu just for tea (kind of like a wine list at other restaurants), I figured their tea must be pretty good and gave it a try. And it is. Over the years I've probably sampled a dozen or so varieties of tea from the menu, and they were all good. The hot tea is also a wonderful complement to the food, I think. My favorite appetizer is the shrimp fritters. It's a good appetizer size, enough for two, served with a tangy vinegary sauce on the side. Their salads are also very good, too. It's hard to beat their fried rice dishes. Cast aside any prior experience or association you may have with fried rice--those soy sauce laden monstrosities that many restaurants pass off as food. Their fried rice is flavorful, peppered with vegetables, meat, and a bit of heat. The portions are huge--I have yet to finish an entire portion in one sitting. So the bonus is a free lunch the next day! Service is friendly and efficient, even when the place is jumping. For the amount of food you get and the quality of food, it's one of the best bets in the city. If you're looking for a fancy place with cloth napkins, beautifully designed interior, this is not it. Spice Island offers delicious, authentic food served in somewhat humble (but warm and cozy) environment. In this respect, it reminds me of its restaurant cousin, Tram's in Lawrenceville (great for authentic, inexpensive Vietnamese cuisine).
