One of the best place in Pickering to get your West Indian/ Chinese Cuisine.My go-to for appetizers are the Crab and Cheese Wantons, Fiery BBQ Wings and Pepper Shrimp.For the mains, the Special Chicken Fried Rice, Spicy Garlic Shrimp and the Jerk Chicken Cantonese are my absolute faves.
Got two servings of crab and cheese wontons and a serving of pepper shrimp. Usually get rum punch as well but opted for a beer as the day was nice and hot. Always good service here and good food.
Always good food and drinks at Island Mix! We took the opportunity to donate some books for a good cause and stopped in for a chicken wonton soup, pepper shrimp and a beer!
Made a reservation 3 weeks in advance confirmed one day prior. Island mix lost power which is completely understandable due to the storm. Unfortunately despite that fact island mix did not have the common courtesy to call us and cancel the reservation. I was told it's a reservation book not a computer system at time of making the reservation. The reservation was for 30 people some coming from a good distance. Will not be going back to Island Mix.Lucky for us tropical nights at Morningside and Sheppard was kind enough to take our reservation last minute. The staff was lovely, food was great, portions big, well priced and great music. They were extremely accommodating, attentive and kind.
Drove from Newmarket, just to try this restaurant my friend's said it taste really good. Spent $94 on my meal. The pepper shrimp just had black pepper, some onions and green onions---the Special chicken fried rice, the chicken was red but that's about it NO flavor not even some seasoning salt, the Veggie chowmein Meh as it was just spaghetti noodles, the island mix hot wings was the ONLY thing that had flavor, but was soggy wasn't crunchy even though it was deep fried
Maybe just avoid the poutine here. The cheese curds weren't melted. There were so many bones in the chicken pieces, and the gravy was way too thick as well. The fries didn't even make up for anything. All of this made a very unsatisfying poutine. The quality of this poutine in particular is poor. Improve the quality control for the customers sake.
Came in here a week ago for dinner and was seated by a lady who decided to assign us to an awkwardly placed table very close to the front door. We requested a change to the table, and she protested back saying it was the only table left. We looked around and realized that she was lying and didnt want to clean up another table available to the back. We asked a server if we move to that table, and they said yes. That first lady we realized was the bus girl for the night responsible for cleaning tables. We watched as she stood in the corner, carrying on and refusing to come clean the table. Our server eventually cleaned it. She seemed annoyed that we had managed to move tables and had the most unprofessional facial disposition. Absolutely rude behaviour to the umpteenth degree ! I called in the next day was told a manager would contact me, and no surprise no one did. Of course not. Sadly when it comes to Caribbean restaurants like this, it does well but it does well as so long nothing else comes around of better worth. The food is tasty, but if and its just a matter of time, if a new restaurant comes around with similar quality food and staff that are compelled to be respectful to people who are spending their money there, then Island Mix will lose their customers. Too many of our Caribbean restaurants are employing these people who are in fact destroying your brand. We talk about black businesses and supporting them, please earn and retain that support Please do better!!!!
enjoyed the food and the service. always loved eating here!

Martini drink menu listed the price at $6.95....we placed our order... While eating someone said they were there in November and the price was $8.95.... we asked if they would honor the price in the menu we had and they sad no... nothing they could do....this was from the manager...We support this place because the food is good... Vibes have gone down the tube but as a West Indian, not much options for a West Indian vibe...so we talk what we get...The staff waitress we had was hard working. and even thou she was
