Book NowAbout Island Radio
Corner of Cleveland and Baptist—Island Radio delivers high-octane Southeast Asian fusion with serious date-night and birthday energy. Funky decor, tropical nods, and an on-air DJ box spinning tunes during dinner service set the pace. Food-wise, the kitchen doesn't hold back on heat or punchy aromatics: raw yellowfin tuna, skewers, spicy green coconut curries, and smoked brisket noodles. Milestone bookings get thoughtful touches like handwritten cards waiting at the table, while floor staff deftly pace share plates and navigate tricky dietary bans across the banquet. Grab an Arak Madu cocktail or a crisp white before drifting upstairs to the bar to close out the night.
- Resident DJ Booth: A dedicated on-air DJ box spins tunes right through dining service, fueling a funky, upbeat room.
- Celebration Touches: Pre-booked milestone celebrations arrive to personalized greeting cards and welcome drinks pre-set at the table.
- Bold Fusion Sharing: Spiced Southeast Asian fusion plates, from yellowfin tuna to coconut curries and wok-tossed noodles designed for sharing.
