The actual To go plates are small , almost same length as fork. Portions are very small but hard to tell in photo since plate is mini sz.
Garlic miso chicken. Not as good as Zippys. This one is deep fried not grilled like the one at Zips.

Five stars.The food here was pretty good for a plate lunch location. I've tried the chicken Katsu, honey chicken, and more. It does the job.The service is great. Efficient and accurate.The ambiance is pretty much standard for a plate lunch location. No frills, but gets the job done.

I'm not in this area much but we were visiting someone at Kaiser and needed to get something to eat nearby. I've never heard of this place but did a quick search on yelp for dinner and this popped up. I ordered a honey garlic chicken/hamburger steak combo, my husband got a kalbi plate and we ordered a cheeseburger with fries and a mini bbq chicken plate for our parents. Service was okay and they prepared our food really quickly. The inside looks similar to an L&L or any other plate lunch place. The honey garlic chicken was crispy and delicious. The hamburger steak was a homemade patty which was yummy as well with the classic gravy. The rest of my family enjoyed their food as well. I would definitely check this place out again next time I'm in the area.

Not much change. Portions seem to get smaller as prices get higher. At least the floor is no longer sticky.

Food:I grew up eating Islanders since 1999 growing up in Salt Lake. Its been as much a staple here as soons and nostalgia definitely factors into my review of the place. The honey garlic chicken is basically the one thing I still hold dear to my heart.Service/ambiance: Its a takeout spot family owned if you gonna complain about service here you in the wrong spot.

Of the limited food choices in Salt Lake Shopping Center, this is one of the best. Our go-to is chicken mushroom, which is a simple stir fry with chicken, mushrooms, onions and bell peppers with a sweet teriyaki sauce. The chicken is tender and moist, and the veggies sauteed enough to be caramelized yet crunchy. We've also tried their Teri beef with fried rice and hamburger steak. Both are good, with the Teri beef being tenderer than most other places. The cashier is nice and polite, which is not always a given in such restaurants. Prices are not cheap but comparable with other plate lunch places.

Located in the Salt Lake Shopping Center, this is a popular spot to pick up a plate lunch to-go or eat-in. I've made 2 weekday visits for lunch and both times I dined in. Regardless of whether you eat-in or take-out, the food is served in compostable containers. The seating looks like it was for a Subway restaurant with its hard laminate booth construction. The restaurant overall is clean.The menu is your typical local plate lunch flare offering both mini and regular sized portions, and I found the pricing to be in line with other similar eateries. The cashier was crazy busy taking phone orders, counter orders, and calling out completed orders for customer pick up. Somehow, she keeps it altogether and our order was out in about 5-10 minutes.I've had both the teriyaki pork and chicken katsu curry during my visits and they were good. My wife had the mushroom chicken on our most recent visit, which had good flavor but was short on mushrooms. In fact, she found only one. For that, one-star deduction.Parking is shared with the other merchants in the shopping center and can get a little congested during the lunch hour but we've always find a spot without issue. I highly recommend Islander Drive Inn for your next plate lunch craving.

We were in the area for our kids' sports and wanted to get some food to go. We found this place on yelp and decided to try it out. The homemade burger was thin, like a McDonald's cheeseburger, and patty smaller than the bun. The hamburger steak was also thin. The portions on the plate were small, and they used small to-go plates to make it look like more food (mini size to go plates). However, the garlic chicken was tasty with their special sauce. It's unfortunate to mention, but when the swing doors to the kitchen opened, the kitchen was extremely dirty. It seemed like it hadn't been cleaned in years. If I had seen that before ordering, I likely wouldn't have continued. I only saw it after ordering and paying when the doors swung open.
