Island Hut Family Restaurant

Visited this restaurant yesterday and omg was I glad I did. The food is definitely the best Guyanese chinese food in Brampton. We ordered the fry rice, chow mein and chicken wings. The lady at the front counter is truly a pleasure to talk to and when she say her food is d best, she is right! Radicas is good and so is calypso hut but this little gem is truly the best. If your simple and love fry rice, chow mein and chicken wings, this is the joint to visit.

The menu is simple but the flavor profile is incredible. I highly recommend. Looking forward to returning even if it is in a different city, taste like this is not everywhere :)

I’ve got to say this is the best Guyanese style Chinese i’ve had in Brampton. The menu is currently very simple with just a few items. The owner said she focused on making these dishes perfect as they are her best sellers. Food tastes fresh, is flavourful and served traditionally with shredded carrots & cabbage with a slice of tomato and cucumber. Sometimes the shrimp in the special fried rice can be overcooked and the serving portions are small compared to other places but in COVID times small businesses need to survive too.

I’ve been going to Island Hut for over ten years now and they never disappoint. This place has the best Guyanese-style Chinese food in Brampton. I live in Ottawa now, but whenever I’m in Brampton, I make sure to bring food back home with me. The restaurant is family-owned by a nice couple and they’re very friendly. The restaurant is clean and the food always tastes fresh and flavourful. The menu has been downsized for the time being and only a few items are available, so be sure to ask when you order, if what you want is still available. This is the new norm for a lot of restaurants that have had to downsize with the COVID-19 pandemic. Aside from the single-serve platters that they sell, they also sell catering platters that serve 6-8 people for small catering platters and 12-16 people for large catering platters. I usually get a special chicken fried rice small catering platter. It comes packed with chicken fried rice and topped off with several fried quarter chicken legs. It easily feeds 6 people and there’s a good amount of leftovers. My favourite dishes are their chicken fried rice, chicken chowmein and their fried chicken. Single-serve platters of fried rice and chowmein are topped with shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, a slice of cucumber and a slice of tomato. I hope that they bring back the “pepper shrimp”. It was always one of my favourite dishes to pair with their fried rice. Their servings are very generous and I know that some people might find them a bit pricier than other Guyanese-style Chinese restaurants in the GTA, but the fact that everything is 100% halal and the food tastes fresh and flavourful gives justification for that. I’ll be back for more!

Probably one of the best Guyanese style fried rice you will ever have outside of guyana...hands down!!

A true family restaurant with guyanese/chinese cuisine. Chicken is always perfect, and the rice is some of the most delicious rice I've ever had. Portion sizes are perfect, very filling. You can immediately recognize the attention to detail in preparation and I would imagine these recipes are passed down through the family. Glad to have come across this unique combination of cuisines.

Thank you for restoring the taste in Caribbean cuisine! The chowmein and special fry rice (chicken in the ruff) was absolutely amazing, seasoning and care with preparation of food is on point. Haven't had such flavorful cuisine from a West Indian restaurant in many years. Great job, will be a repeat customer!

Brampton's hidden gem with only 3 dishes but they are done perfectly. Thus is Guyanese Chinese here and it's done right!everything is made to order der so expect to wait but it's worth it. Good things are worth waiting for.
