| - I LOVE this place and everything about it!
I have yet to order a bad dish at Spice Island. My friend introduced me to spice island tea house some time around 2003, and it has remained my favorite restaurant ever since. Don't let the "hole in the wall" appearance fool you.
My usual dish is called "Thai Ruby Red Basil Sauce" (formerly known as Ruby Chicken). It is full of flavor, the veggies are cooked perfectly, the chicken is moist and plentiful, and the sauce is perfect. I seriously can't say enough about how awesome this dish is.
I've also had the burmese fried rice, the pad thai, the chicken with string beans, the mango chicken, chicken satay, and the java friend rice. I have been more than pleased with EVERY dish! And I am very, very, picky (just look at my other reviews).
The other love is the vegetarian samoosas. The outside is perfectly crispy and crunchy and the filling is perfectly seasoned and moist. The sweet chili sauce that it is served with is the perfect compliment. I have often ordered 2 servings of the samoosa - one to eat and a serving to take home for later. They really are that good.
The tea is good, and I also really enjoy the coconut soda from time to time.
The servers have always been very polite and very attentive, even when the restaurant is PACKED on weekend nights.
I don't think I have one bad thing to say about Spice Island. Other than... maybe its time to expand and get some more parking!
