Alright y'all, here's an update from about 3 years ago. I finally got to go in person. It wasn't…read morebusy at all and Maria took my takeout order. I ended up getting the Oxtail plate with Rice and Peas and a double order of Collard Greens. The Oxtails this time around was very meaty, tender and flavorful. That's exactly how I like my Oxtails. I ate everything up within 15 minutes. Maria is amazing at her job, she was telling my about the live music that will be going on tonight and also offered me pepper sauce which gave this dish a bit of a kick, which I love. All in all, I will most definitely return to this establishment.

I've visited a few times since writing my first review and I hate to say it, but I've been…read moredisappointed every time. They are always, and I mean always out of something. I asked for a chicken roti, they were out, and out of any roti for that matter. My husband wanted curry goat, they were out of goat. I ended up getting a beef patty and jerk wings which were too tough, I could hardly chew them. I also ordered some Collard greens which were just okay. I overheard a phone order that they were processing where the person asked for red snapper fish, they were out of that. The only fish they had available was salmon. But if you take a look at their extensive menu you would see they offer many different types of fish. And lastly, we arrived at the rice and peas (which my husband calls them being stingy on the serving size). The amount of rice given is the smallest serving size of rice and peas I've ever seen served in a Caribbean restaurant. It's not nearly enough to go alongside the rest of the food. Be prepared if you order to go, you'll probably need to order a side of rice in addition to what they give you. The service is good, it's always good, they are friendly and helpful, but it doesn't make up for what they lack in food.

It's my place to go if I ever want some carribean fare near the workplace. Lots of local family vibes. I'll usually get the chicken curry dinner. Very bold and spicy flavor. The rice and peas that come with it are delicious as well and could be a dish just on their own. I'm also pleased that they let you substitute the salad for their steamed vegetables and also have their extra pepper hot sauce if you fancy a stronger kick. It's a fantastic place to go if you're looking to pick up a fresh plate to-go to take with you.

The ambiance is very quaint and small, but enough spacing as I am sure the food comes out quickly. I was happy with my food!

The chicken had that savory, spicy jerk vibe and a great texture. It was so tender it came right off the bone. The rice was full of cooked red beans and had a buttery, subtle but catchy taste to it with a warm, sticky feel. The plantain were creamy in feel, sweet and had some soft bite to them. Loved every part of my order. The roti curry wrap and ox tails are also very tasty here. Great, welcoming, friendly service from the owner himself every time.

I checked out Mikki's Soulfood Cafe with two buddies on a Monday evening for dinner. Parking is a…read morecinch in the large parking lot they share with several other businesses in a shopping center right off 518. There are some things I like about Mikki's and some things I don't like. Let's dive into it. Ambiance (4/5): This is one of the areas where Mikki's shines. The restaurant looks great. It's clean, snazzy, and there's plenty of seating. We sat at a booth. The A/C was blasting so hard that I was a bit cold, but I'd much rather take this than the alternative. They also have a private room for events or more intimate gatherings. Service (2.5/5): This is where part of my problems with Mikki arose. We came to this soul food restaurant for Pearland Restaurant Weeks. For $35, you have a choice of several entrees, sides, and a dessert for $35. My friend looked at what it would cost to order these items individually and it came out to less than $35... weird. I've been to Houston Restaurant Weeks for many years and the beauty of it is that you get a deal while doing good for the community. At Mikki's for Pearland Restaurant Weeks, you do good for the community without getting a good deal. Naturally, we avoided the special menu when we figured out the parking structure. Outside of this mishap, while you order at the counter cafeteria style, we did have a member of the staff stop by to ask how we're doing and we were thanked upon leaving. Drinks (2.5/5): Mikki's has a full bar, and even has daiquiris, but I was well-behaved. I had some Kool Aid which brought me back. I used to drink it as a kid. At Mikki's, for a small Kool-Aid, it's going to run you $4.75. If you've ever had Kool Aid before, you know it's super cheap. I know that restaurants and bars will always charge a premium for drinks compared to a grocery store but $4.75 for a small without free refills?! At pretty much any restaurant, you can get a soft drink or an iced tea with free refills for less than this price point. Just a bit steep. Food (3/5): You'll find a lot of soul food classics at Mikki's like oxtails, fried chicken, catfish, yams, collard greens and more. I opted to go with the beef tips with mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. The beef tips are essentially like a beef stew with a little burst of spices. Some chunks of beef were a little too fatty. Some were just right. The mashed potatoes were solid, just a bit dry. The mac and cheese was great. I'd get this side every single time. You also get a dinner roll or cornbread with every entree (as stated on the menu). They didn't offer me my bread, and I had to ask for it. One of my friends didn't get theirs at all. Mikki's can get quite busy on the weekends, it's definitely a popular spot. You'll see pictures of celebrities who have been there including Stephen A. Smith, 50 Cent, Tyrese, and many others. Where's my picture on the wall?! ;) While there are some attractive things about Mikki's, the missteps (seemingly taking advantage of customers a bit to increase their profit margin) soured the experience for me a bit.
