| - Island mix is definitely one of my favourite Caribbean restaurants. I used to frequent the one in Pickering more often when I was in the east end. It is tucked away in the corner of one of the many plazas by Vaughan Mills, so it can be tricky to find. I came here not too long ago with my nieces and cousins, and it was fairly empty on a Sunday night around 9pm, however you can tell it was busy earlier as when we came in, a lot of tables still needed to be cleaned up. In all fairness, there was only one girl on the floor, so it's not easy to have to do everything. I get the same thing every time: fried chicken wontons, chicken wonton soup, sizzling chicken, a side of fried rice, and a Peardrax to wash it down. The soup honestly feels like a cozy hug, as it is so flavorful and comforting, especially on a cold day. They definitely don't skimp on the wontons! The fried chicken wontons are a yummy snack, and I find they get devoured very quickly. The sizzling chicken is literally sizzling when it comes to you on a hot plate, and this saucy chicken is complimented well with the fried rice. I don't eat seafood, but my friends and family love their pepper shrimp. They also have an excellent selection of pepper sauce for all palettes. The service isn't necessarily always memorable, however when Josh is there, it is a great time. Will be returning soon!
