Sample platter
Sydni K.

My friends and I were visiting the Eureka area for the weekend for the first time. I'm not sure if this is common for most places in the area, but this restaurant wasn't open during the hours stated online and on their door. We showed up at around 1:30 on a Saturday and tried to open the door to find it locked. We saw workers inside, so we were a little confused. We just waited outside for a little bit, trying to research another place to grab lunch. About five minutes later, one of the workers invited us inside. I decided to get the sampler platter. It came with plantains, jerk chicken, cod fritters, and vegetables. The sauce that it came with was so unbearably spicy, so I'd definitely recommend avoiding this if you can't handle spice. The food was something different than what I'm used to, but I really enjoyed the plantains! Service was on the slower side, and they forgot one of our dishes, which ended up being fine. The inside of the restaurant felt very clean and open.

Just the best Caribbean style food around the area. Friendly service thats kind and gracious. Had food from the truck and it was great, stopped by the restaurant recently for a late lunch and it did not disappoint. The interior is bright, blue, open and lots of glass. Some tables and chairs with a few seats at the bar area. Walk up counter service, was thinking one way for food walking in the door, but decided on the Fried Chicken plate with veggies and mash. This is a large meal and it actually made two for me. Two nice sized pieces of boneless chicken breast fried dark golden brown, a bit overcooked but still very flavorful. The mashed potatoes were smooth, rich and creamy. The veggies steamed in a nice spicy sauce. A solid meal, that was enough for two. Will return 4 Stars - good food, friendly service and fair value. worth a visit and support. 00985

delicious fruit drink (was so refreshing and had some spices I was surprised! was so good!) plantains, and veggies over rice.
Julia S.

This place is AMAZING! Don't sleep on it! Wonderful down to earth owners who are very key locals in the community. The food is truly made with love and you can tell. I get plantains and cooked veggies over rice. It feels like someone who loves you made the food... please support this business. They deserve it and you won't regret it!!! They have vegetarian and vegan options !

Doubles
Sriteja C.

This was my first time trying Caribbean food, so I'm not sure how how of my experience was driven by general Caribbean cuisine vs this specific restaurant. The food was mediocre -- I couldn't eat more than 2 of the fried plantain since it felt very mushy, but parts of the center still felt firm. It should have been cooked longer and I would have liked it crispier. The doubles were quite nice and had a nice sweetness to it that wasn't overpowering. The bread that came with the doubles was alright (I believe they were deep fried soft tortillas), but the chickpeas and the sauce were the star of the dish. The place was clean and there was only 1 other patron at the time so service was great (I went at 5:30 pm on a Friday) Overall if I were to go again, I'd go at lunchtime since their lunch menu seemed a lot more comprehensive and the items looked better.

Jerk chicken, rice and "peas"
Kelly K.

While staying in Eureka, I wanted to try Taste of Bim based on the high reviews, but it took me 3 tries to do so. Their hours aren't as listed, they basically open and close when they feel like it. I tried ordering takeout on a Tuesday and Wednesday night, both before 8p, but got no answer on the phone. I called a third time on a Thursday night before 8p and when I arrived it looked like they were cleaning up for the night and about to shut, I was probably their last order. So yeah, if they say they're open til 9p, don't believe it. Friendly service, and though prices are rather steep, I'd say it was mostly worth it for the superb flavor. I got a jerk chicken plate. The chicken had a really nice seasoning, not too spicy but with a little kick. The chicken (dark meat) was tender and the little bit of charring on the outside was perfect. It came with rice and "peas," some sort of cabbage mix, and plantains, all of which tasted fresh and delicious. I suppose I was expecting the portion of chicken to be a bit larger based on the price tag, but will forgive. If you're lucky enough to snag some food before they shut their doors early, you'll have some top quality stuff to enjoy.

two plates of food

Delicious! We were driving through town and decided to stop by for lunch. When we found this place we knew we wanted to give it a try. The food was really flavorful. I appreciate indication of gluten free items on the menu. Staff were friendly and the restaurant was bright and inviting. Definitely check this place out!

Salmon
Katherine G.

This place was a really good experience, as I've never really have carribean food often. We came around 7:30 on a Sunday, and it wasn't too busy so we were able to be seated right away. I wanted to order the oxtail but they were sold out, so I opted for the salmon instead. It did take a while for our food to come out, but completely understandable since it seems they make everything from scratch here, and it just made the food even better once it arrived. The salmon was perfectly cooked and well seasoned with the sauce on top, and I also really liked the sauteed veggies that came on the side. The rice was a bit mushier than I like but still not bad by any means! We also got the pone and bread pudding for dessert, with a scoop of pineapple coconut (?) ice cream. I've never had pone before, so it was a new experience for me but man it was so good! Warm, cakey, and really delicious. The bread pudding was also amazing -- dense with the rum sauce, but the caramelized edges were the best. Service was very warm and friendly, and I would recommend giving this place a try!

Rum raisin ice cream
Benjamin C.

I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area. First off, the food was wonderful. The baked cod in secret sauce was my main entree. This might be difficult for you if you aren't used to eating fish with small bones, but if you want to put in the work, you will be well rewarded. The fish was super tender - you could tell it was fresh. The onions, tomatoes, and secret sauce punched your taste buds with a rich blend of savory flavors that brought out the taste of the fish. I was also impressed with the curry dressing that came with the salad and the rum raisin ice cream. I would definitely recommend getting both of these, especially if you want to try something a little different. Secondly, the atmosphere was really refreshing. The music was lively, and the decor was relaxed yet welcoming. I loved the fact that there were plenty of diners there without the hustle and bustle of one of those bar and grills or semi-fine dining joints. Finally, our waitress excelled in serving and being friendly. I think her name was Diane. Thank you, Diane! I think she was the only person waiting tables that night. You could tell she could have used some help, but she was patiently explained the menu and even made small talk with other diners. Overall, a spectacular find. Excellent food, prices, atmosphere, and wait service.

Jerk chicken or pork plate
Zoe P.

The food here is always 10/10. I've gotten it in house and to go. The owner and chef is always cheerful and welcoming, I feel very welcomed when there. A very upfront bunch of people working there, if it's busy they will let you know rather than just having you wait for hours. I've never had a bad experience while dining in either. There is plenty of seating and it's always very clean. Two cons (but never outweighing the pros so still 10/10): 1- sometimes it gets cold so I recommend bringing a sweatshirt. 2- the servers themselves aren't always the best, I've definitely felt forgotten about at least once. In sum: I FRICKEN LOVE A TASTE OF BIM.

Came here during a visit to Eureka and I found this nice little restaurant. A few ladies who were helping the owners out took our order, albeit the order took over half an hour to come out and the food was good enough, but it wasn't anything special. The macaroni pie was great but everything else felt a little bit bland and underwhelming, even after waiting for so long. I hope this was just a one time thing but I'd come back! Support your local businesses!

pork mashed potatoes and salad.  in the center is fried and season plantains
Joshua C.

stopped in for a lunch, and it was a lot more food than i was expecting and the food was great! this was a very informal setting and during a quiet lunch with no other guests. friendly service, fast service, and quality tasty food prepared well! the food wasn't spicy or over seasoned, and the plantains were basically a desert. the only reason i cant give this a 5 was the floors were sticky and probably just cleaned and a number of items were not available to order. otherwise there mo excuses to skip going here.

Fish Stew served with mild island curry sauce with peppers, tomatoes, and onions
Julia S.

I saw great reviews and did some research of where to go in Eureka with A Taste of Bim being highly recommended. Plus it's a kind of food that I normally don't eat which makes it extra desirable to me. I left the restaurant confused to why I had a disappointing experience while past customers had raving review. Maybe Thursday dinner is not the best time to go? Why were they running low on ingredients? Why was the staff rude? A few other things happened which made my experience sour. I went on a Thursday night for dinner when it looked slow with a handful of other customers. My fiancé and I ordered the Fried Plantain appetizer and for the main we ordered the House Specialty of Baked Whole Fish in secret sauce with celery, carrots, sweet peppers, and onions. I thought we were keeping pretty simple and easy by knowing what we wanted a few minutes after seating down. A minute or two after we ordered the waitress came to our table to say they were out of plantains and the fish. I found it kind of 'fishy' that they were out of fish since the restaurant is less than a quarter of a mile from the bay. Also the main dish we ordered instead of the Baked Whole Fish was the Fish Stew served with mild island curry sauce with peppers, tomatoes, and onions. Not going to lie after waiting for a good chunk of time and starving the Fish Stew was gone in a matter of 10min between the two of us. We decided to take our chances and order dessert. Luckily what we wanted from the dessert menu they were able to serve us. What we had orders was the Bread Pudding served with rum sauce and Authentic Jamaican Rum Raisin Ice Cream. We asked to have both desserts together; however, she gave us the ice cream at least 15min before serving the bread pudding. Luckily after 5min of waiting with the ice cream and we hadn't touched it, I told the waitress to take the ice cream back since we didn't want it unless it was with the bread pudding. When she finally brought the bread pudding to the table with the ice cream from earlier then we finally ate the dessert. I am not going to lie but I couldn't believe she brought the ice cream without the other earlier. The bread pudding and ice cream was delicious but it didn't make up for the experience and service.

The line wasn't too long of a wait, despite it being busy and understaffed. They had a cute location, and I really liked the dark wood throughout. They had a dedicated area for sitting, and some things like board games available for groups to enjoy while sipping their beverage of choice. I got a mocha frappé and enjoyed it. It hit the spot on a sunny Eureka day. To my surprise, I got a freebie, with the barista making more than what would fit in the cup. The excess was poured into an additional cup, and given for free. That was awesome. Speaking of the staff, they were great.

I came early in the morning and only had a donut and small coffee there and the price was reasonable. They have a seating area in front of their counter and a larger seating area adjacent. Lovely wall art that appears to be from local artist. I really want to give it 5 stars - the only downside was - and I have to be honest - there was a homeless man who came into the cafe and started yelling repeatedly at the clerk and other patrons. This is NOT the fault of the owners but when I'm in side of a restaurant or cafe and eating I think it's reasonable to want to feel safe. This was early in the morning and after this aggressive person left there were steadily more and more customers coming in and I felt safer/better This is a great place and I hope anyone who is visiting Eureka to stop by and enjoy this popular place

So beware and check the weather before going and dress accordingly. It's nice on sunny days but then you have to be mindful of the UV. I appreciate our waitress getting our drinks and food out to us through the chaos of people being seated outside, then being reseated inside when room opened up, or like one table, just leaving! Their plum sake is very good, smooth and light. I also got a hot tea but that was only hot for a moment out there, the sake definitely did more to keep us warm. Their ramen bowls are now my favorite in downtown, the pork is DELICIOUS, the broth could be a drink on its own and the marinated egg has a perfectly soft yolk; it's a very pretty dish. My favorite sushi is split between the Russian roulette and the ocean queen (I think that's its name).

I left with the worst heartburn and likely due to whatever they fried it in. Golden salmon "specialty" roll. Meh. I've had a lot better at the other locally sushi places. Service: horrible. The place was 30 per cent full. It's Humboldt so I don't expect service to be quick. But the attitude of the wait person was abominable. I felt like we were wasting their time. Like they had somewhere else to be. Mind you this was 3pm on a Sunday afternoon. We saw them once again when they slapped down the check. Then they came to get it a few minutes later and we felt hurried out the door. The bus person was seen whisking food and debris off the tables instead of wiping them down. Several tables. The waiter's attitude was hurried, impatient, and not even a "how is your meal". Ambience: it was nice to be out on the deck. Otherwise nothing special. The host podium is crowded with stuff around it. It looks like they are storing things in the entrance. After hearing so much about how nice and it was, I was disappointed. I'd eat somewhere else and ride the elevator up to walk around the non-restaurant part of the rooftop to see the view. Honestly.
