Fantasy Island

WE came in for lunch at 11:30 on a Friday and it became very crowded by the time we left. We all had lunch specials and they were huge. The food was excellent but could not finish for we also ordered a few appetizers. If I lived near this restaurant, I would gain 20 pound in about a month. Thanks to everyone working at this gem.

This part about it, and anybody else’s bad comments about the waiter and the area and the tips, I had a great experience. Food is flavorful, hot, came to our table immediately. Great ambience, the waiter loved to joke, overall I had a great experience. I had the com-pow chicken, lobster sauce, shrimp and pork fried rice and Pupu platter. overall, I had a great experience.

I have been eating here since 1987. Karen and her family have been the owners for the last 7 years. Great family, great food and value. You must try this restaurant. You will have a great meal and money well spent. Ron from Lynn Mass

I took my 88 year old dad and my husband for lunch at fantasy island for a memorial meal for my moms 2nd year not being with us. It was handicap accessible wich is good because my dad is in a wheelchair. We were warmly greeted and sat right away. Drink orders in right away. Waitress was very understanding when we aske if she could give us some time to decide. I made eye contact with her and she came right over and took our order. Food came out promptly and hot..
Delicious. Everything was amazing huge portions we all took some home for supper. I definitely recommend this restaurant and the food and staff. Lunch prices were very reasonable.

It's been open for at least 30 years and it's never changed it's always delicious can't go wrong eating at this place.

My favorite Chinese restaurant in the town. Great service. Had a wonderful family dinner time there.

I was pleasantly surprised, the food was pretty good.. fresh veggies & the beef Teriyaki was tender.
Once upon a time this was my favorite place. food was always great.
Over the last 5 years I've been in a handful of times & I can't say I was thrilled one night
The food was awful. When a few friends wanted to go for lunch I cringed inside.
Not sure if it makes a difference( lunch/ dinner time?) Lunch this past Sunday was wonderful. Food was good service great & happy friends ❤

The best Chinese food I ever had always cook right I always get what I need they never for get anything thank you !

The best Chinese food in the area. I've been going here since Dave Wong owned it and it was called China Sails. FYI Dave sold it in the early 80's. They still use his recipes. The food is fantastic. It was sold again earlier this year (2018) and the new owners aren't changing anything, but adding to the already full menu. The dining room is nice and brightly lit. Plenty of free parking. If your in the area stop in, you won't be disappointed.

Update January 2024, the new owners changed the recipes and are no longer going by Dave Wong’s. I thought the food was disgusting. After going there for over 50 years, they lost a customer in me! I won’t go back! 😥😥

The food is always good. The employees/wokers are always friendly and nice. The Karaoke is popping.

Good food good portions for your money

It was a wonderful time! It was just myself and my husband and the atmosphere was just what we were looking for. The food was delicious and our server was very professional and friendly. The service was prompt.

Everything was fenomenal, the food delicious, the staff very friendly... I would definitely visit again.

The barman was coughing all over the bar not covering his mouth,he has a problem serving me for some reason

Love this place!!!
Drinks are always WELL made!
Service always fast!
I'm going to be honest with this review I gave this place five stars but I may be being a little biased cuz I have a lot of memories at this place!
Worth saying again Love this place!!!

Food was AMAZING. I would definitely recommend and come back again. Pleasant atmosphere. Service was very polite and understanding. Very kind staff. However, do not come if you are looking for cheapness. Although , the taste is definitely worth the price.

Food is prepared very well, nothing over or under cooked like boneless spare ribs that have been reheated 3 or 4 times and are tough, hard and dry. Everything was made the way it should be tasty and flavorful and fresh. I first tried Fantasy Island 23 years ago and still go there to this day and I live over 20 miles away, I go to Salem a lot and when I do Fantasy Island is a must stop to eat.

Great staff and amazing food! The indoor dining room is very large and nicely spaced out. The bar side also has family and bar seating. Drinks are consistently awesome. Highly recommend the chicken and asparagus!!

A superb dining experience -- every time! From the extensive menu, every meal that we and various family members have enjoyed at Fantasy Island has been excellent! The service is always top notch and hard-working owners Karen and Roger Lin have made sure all safety protocols have been in place with necessary restrictions during the worst of the pandemic. Our very favorite place for delicious Chinese food!

Fantasy Island is now owned and managed by the family that used to own and run Yan's China Bistro. That means that they have updated their menu with some of the dishes from Yan's. The lunch specials are around $10 (a couple more at dinner) and the portions are huge. I particularly like shrimp with vegetables.
