| - Islands is a casual dining chain with a tropical theme. I never knew this place existed until I had lunch here today with coworkers. I ordered this Hoisin bowl, which was made of grilled pineapple, red bell peppers, snow peas, water chestnuts, red onions, broccoli, and diced scallions with hoisin sauce, served over brown rice. You have a choice of grilled chicken or grilled mahi mahi. I went with the grilled chicken.
There's nothing wrong with Islands, but there's nothing memorable either. With so many restaurant choices in the area, the competition is tough and establishments have to set themselves apart. Islands doesn't do that. Maybe I'll change my tune if I ever get a burger here, but my first visit left me thinking "I could've had a better bowl at Teriyaki Madness."
