Salt Spring Wok - Salt Spring Island

Easily the closest thing you'll get to City food on this island, where everyone is actually expected to compete with one another through the quality of their food instead of whatever cryptic quality Salt Spring has arbitrarily decided much more important than making your food edible. (Hello other business owners and managers reading this! Unless I have a positive review up for you, chances are you're one of them) Trust me, I'm an extremely picky eater from Kelowna, I won't eat somewhere if a better product is being provided elsewhere. Hence why I'll eat here every chance I get. It's a little pricey but I'm of the belief that you get what you pay for in this situation. The only thing that beats it is my mom's cooking.

Good food at a reasonable price. I have food allergies and they are very careful about ensuring there is no cross contamination. It's nice to find a place that is willing to substitute and where I have options.

Food was great and clean/healthy and the owners also went above and beyond with service. We were visiting the island and weren't aware that the community doesn't have any options for late night eats. Everything was closed, however the owners here were in process of locking up and upon seeing us hungry fired up the kitchen after everything had been cleaned and put away for the evening. Great location to grab a quick bite while on the island and ownership/service that is hard to find elsewhere.

I order pad Thai and it was good but definitely not pad Thai flavor. More sweet and sour noodles.. So if you want an authentic pad Thai go somewhere else.

I recommend asking to mix the malaysian peanut red thai chilli sauces, it tasted very nice and wasn?t spicy. I got a large tofu with fresh egg noodles. What would make this better is it they gave slightly less noodle and slightly more vegetables. With the amount of noodles they gave, I couldn?t finish it on my own. Note that it takes about 10 minutes to prepare as they make it fresh and get many orders, but it?s nice and hot when it does come. I thought that paying $4 to get more vegetables is a bit much, I probably would have done it for $2 extra though. I also had the taro bubble tea and recommend the taste. The person in front of me said that the tapioca pearls crumbled (normally elsewhere they are squishy) and the owner didn?t know whether the lychee jelly contained gelatin (which wouldn?t be vegetarian) so I asked not to put any toppings in the bubble tea. It still tasted good but you miss the full BBT experience without any ?bubbles?. It would be nice if the chopsticks were in fully sealed packages. They only have take-out boxes but I put it into a bowl at home. There?s room for improvement in little things mentioned above but I?d definitely have it again as it tastes so good.
