Don't Trust this Restaurant 5/22/2010

I was parked on Newbury Street by the Island Hopper restaurant as their delivery driver was going up the one way street in reverse on the phone to pick up an order from the manager. He smashed into my car and stated he and the manager didn't know English. Later that day, Liberty Mutual insurance called me to explain he called my insurnace company talking perfect English stating I rear ended his vehicle. (My car was parked and not even running). Tried talking and calling the restaurant to resolve and they wouldn't speak to me. They committed insurance fraud and are dishonest people!!!! Don't trust this restaurant or their Staff!!!!!! Pros: None!!! Cons: Liars! Horrible Management!!!! more

Golden Triangle of Flavor 2/6/2009

We love restaurants where each bite is an adventure unto itself. At the Island Hopper, every morsel makes your taste buds dance with delight. The Hopper provides a melange of Southeast Asian dishes ranging from Malaysian to Thai to Indian, with a little bit of Chinese, sprinkled on top like MSG. more

Yummy for my Tummy 11/7/2006

Delicious! I LOVE just about everything they have there, especially the appetizers. The mango shrimp is incredible, but try the pineapple fried rice if you want a less expensive but good meal. They are also deliver in less than 30 minutes if you get takeout. Pros: Food, peaceful/pleasing decorations more

Good food but bad service 2/15/2006

I went here a few days ago and while the food was pretty good and the portions well sized, the service left a lot to be desired. Our order was not taken for nearly 20 minutes even though the restaurant was not crowded, and all of the entrees were brought out at different times within about 5 minutes of each other. Our food was good but not quite worth the prices (which are higher than on the internet). Pros: Decent food, Location Cons: Service, Prices more

Don't Miss Out 9/7/2005

I loved the food, the menu gives you so many delicious choices from Thai to Indonesian dishes and their bar drinks are highly recommended (you must try the Leeche Smoothie!). Service was efficient, the ambience is cool, the portions are more than adequate and the value all make this a place great. Pros: Value, Great dishes, Creative Menu more

One of my FAVORITE restaurants 7/13/2005

I just moved to Orlando in June, but we lived on Tremont Street in Boston for 5 years...so trust me. We used to order in from Island Hopper - it was a treat for ourselves -- the food is excellent. I always looked forward to it. The restaurant itself is colorful and CLEAN...they have specials and it is at the end of Newbury Street on Mass Ave - so there's lots to do if you want to walk around afterward. Excellent flavor and food - good price. Recommend Beef Curry and Mango Chicken dishes...our favorites there. If you go - it's either seating right away or you won't wait too long. Hope this helps you to go and treat yourself! I miss it already! =( Pros: A++, hot and fresh, Tastey mild spices, Great decor & service Cons: Delivery can run late more

Great service 2/25/2003

While the food isn't the best in the world (nor the worst), the service is excellent. We were seated promptly, the wait staff was very attentive, and the manager came over to ask us if our dining experience was a good one. Island Hopper is a very customer service oriented place. So, while the food is just so-so, I'd probably go back again based upon the way I was treated. Pros: Great service, Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere Cons: Food is just "ok" more

Owner must have logged in on 10/26/02 2/24/2003

Each type of food I've tried here has been too sweet. And as far as this restaurant's user rating, there's something suspicious about multiple glowing reviews that were entered on the same date (10/26/02). more

funky asian 2/21/2003

a fun asian fusion place (a mix of oriental, indian, and pacific cuisine). the lunch specials are a good deal (soup, appetizer, and entree for under $8). i don't care for the food much, but the drinks are another story! don't leave without trying the many different kinds of smoothies (they're amazing). the decor is funky and colorful. a convenient location (i always walk up and down mass ave). more

Great restaurant with an Island feel. 11/18/2002

This is a wonderful place to try all typed of island foods. I loved the atmosphere of this place...they make you feel right at home. The food was a little more expensive, but it was worth it with their huge portions and their variety of drinks. more

Pretty authentic 11/4/2002

Having lived in SE Asia, we were impressed by the variety and authentic taste. Service was prompt. I had a lime juice (just like Singapore version), my friend has a smoothie that was a house specilaty and delicipous. Loved the Jade dumplings, the Top Hats and the staff made Pad Thai without meat or seafood for us. The Hawaiian shirts are a miscue to the experience, but come for the food anyway. Pros: Food, authentic, location Cons: Stereotype decor more
