the food being prepared
Eugenio L.

I ordered the medium sized oxtails with brown sauce, on a heavy bed of rice, surrounded by beans and a deliciously prepared cabbage cut into long strands. The oxtail portion was generous, the cabbage was outstanding and the rice was prepared fresh. I also ordered a side of Mac and Cheese which was good but the top of it had cheddar cheese that was kind of hard and crispy. If you like your Mac and extra crispy cheese on top you may like this serving, I particularly don't. But it was still tasty underneath. The service was average to slow. And the ambiance was kool. It appeared clean- floors and tables. But what I relay appreciated were the posters of influential Jamaican athletes and musicians - think Usain Bolt - the short distance runner- Bob Marley - Clifford Brown - Gregory Issacs and my fave - Peter Tosh of the Wailers. Very good Jamaican food if you want it. I enjoyed & I bet you will also!

Two stars for the place:They served decent sized portions and the oxtails were cooked pretty well. That was good. The rice were pretty bland though unfortunately. The Mac and cheese left something to be desired. I'm very picky about my mac and cheese but even still it just wasn't doing anything. It gave me boxed with customized additions vibes. They give like four or five slices of plantain as part of your side. Then for my juice option I specifically asked for the kind and flavor I wanted and provided backups. I wasn't provided any of thosw. Not even the same brand. I asked for Tropical Rhythm and was given a Mystic. I asked for Pineapple Ginger, pineapple guava or mango. I received mango orange Mystic. Fortunately they were the same price and it was a mystic I don't mind so I let it slide. I saw a lot of varying reviews on this place and took a chance on ordering because the place I normally order from tripled their prices but I'm not sure it's the place for me. The driver/delivery person gets a star all on his own. He was in point, got there a bit earlier than expected and had the food ready to hand off and didn't just leave it somewhere randomly. Great service from him! Maybe I need go in person instead of doing delivery but I'm not really rushing to check it out from the this experience. Maybe I'll reconsider in the future.

How long has Caribbean Sunshine been open?! I could've been eating good all of this time?! Goshhhhhh!!! LOL I ordered via UberEats and am so happy I did. My food arrived packaged perfectly, food inside of paper bags (taped to ensure no movement) then placed in plastic bags. I ordered Oxtails w/ rice n peas, Jerk Wings, Mac n Cheese and Jerk Chicken w/ white rice. EVERYTHING was soooo good. What sold me was the fact that they placed gravy on both rice orders without me asking!!!! WHATTTTTTT?! That's unheard of. The oxtails were so tender and I received more than 5. Again..... WHATTTTTTT?! I'm impressed. Moving forward Caribbean Sunshine is the only Jamaican restaurant I'll order from. IDC what the delivery fee is... I'm paying it!

Large oxtail dinner

1st time eating here and will definitely be back. I got the large oxtail dinner. The oxtail was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and filling. Believe it was $24 for the large plate completely worth every dollar 10/10. I also had a side of the butter and garlic shrimp which, I forgot to take a picture of, but it was pretty good they pulled out easily and were seasoned well 7.5/10. I was a bit sad the Mac and cheese was out but next time. The ladies behind the counter were nice and service was quick.

The food was okay but not great. The container is small and price is too high. I don't recommend if you are looking to be full.

When I tell you that the food I ate here made my entire week, what I'm trying to say is that the…read morecatfish and cornbread are the most pure soul food I've had. We ate in the brewery behind the restaurant (there's a cool service window to the back kitchen behind the bar!), and I could not possibly have expected the meal we enjoyed. As I mentioned, the catfish sandwich was lovely, soft fish encased in a light frying batter that was just deliciously spiced. The cornbread is absolutely not to be missed, it is thick and moist. The servings are generous and you will feel fulfilled at the end of your meal. My wife had the honey BBQ wings, and when you get the option, have these baked, not fried. I'm sure the fried wings are lovely, but the baked is cooked so tenderly that the meat was just falling off the bone into the sweet sauce below (which you should dip your cornbread in). Don't forget to ask for some house secret sauce for your food. I'm fairly certain you could put it on anything and it will become even more irresistible than it seems when you first smell the aromas wafting up from your dish. I have two regrets. I didn't take any pictures of my food, and I don't have a second stomach. Get yourself here as soon as you can, bring an empty stomach and an open heart. The staff is so kind and the owner is a joy of a woman that serves up her smile and kindness as much as she serves up a filling meal. I will be making sure to get back here soon so I can explore the menu more.

Most of my oxtails were inedible; so tough a fork couldn't penetrate and neither could my teeth. Rice was mush; yet at the same time loaded with crunchy, uncooked grains. A lot of money wasted. Macaroni was mush too, with clumps of unmelted cheese. Greens were edible, but not the best greens I've ever had. I know any restaurant can have a bad day, but this was so bad I would not even think of giving it a second chance.

You ever walk into a Jamaican food establishment and be greeted with a smile? Me neither! So that…read moreinstantly makes this place an anomaly. Rice & Peas & Tings is located toward the rear of the Bronx Terminal Market food court. I wound up here early on a Sunday morning and decided to give them a try. After the warm greeting, I asked if it was too early for stew chicken and was told 'Course not'. I was given a hearty serving of food, with EXTRA GRAVY like I requested. I could have fallen in love right there. I grabbed one of the many available tables, near the Christmas tree, so I could look wistfully out, onto...the highway. While the plate was plentiful, the chicken I received was small boney pieces. If you look, you can see the chicken back in my picture. This is not exactly a complaint (bones are for chewing), but I would have liked to have more actual meat. The chicken itself was also slightly sweeter than my preference, but still very good. Honestly they had me at the extra gravy and could probably do no wrong. The rice and veg were both well cooked and I have no complaints on either. I will definitely return and try different things from the menu (looking at you oxtail).

Having arrived earlier than expected to The Bronx Terminal Market and not looking to eat, as I was…read morehere for a YEE (Yelp Elite Event), I killed some time by walking around the small food court. Saw a large sign boasting, Rice & Peas & Tings, so I strolled over. Behind the counter was this cordial young gentleman who I had a lengthy conversation with. In a part of our conversation he informed me that they recently opened in the Terminal in 2024 and they are eagerly looking forward to sharing their food with the masses. For the undecided, samples are offered to help in any decision making. I didn't accept his offer of samplings, but what better way to entice someone. If you're looking for 'authentic Jamaican food like your Mama and Grandma used to make...', as they quote, stop by Rice & Peas & Tings.

Is a no brainer in regards to flavor. I will say I have a basis to the locations tho. I'm a…read moreprecovid frequent dinner and take out was never really my problem thing when I frequented here because it had a certain ambiance with the service when ever I dinned in there that brought me back over and over with different people to experience. So I was so very disappointed when after Covid they continued with the only pick up service. The food quality is enough to continue yes but the vibe dining in and at the bar I truly miss. My daughters fell in love with this place because every time we walked into that dinning room there was a particular servers who KNEW US. They knew us enough to know my daughters had a favorite table (the 1st we sat at dinning there). They know us to know that my daughters had special distinction drink mocktails (one of the reasons the fell in love wit this place) that they could order even when it was no longer in the menu. This was one of those places we frequented....even if they couldn't get their special table or waiter, the quality never disappointed. During Covid we order delivery regularly because we didn't realize how much this spot because our Caribbean food must have. I can't say we ever really had tried a different meal from over favorable ones that made us say this is one thing they don't get right to us. And the rum punches and Bob Marley drinks they served during their dinning days is what got me to the pin t I had to start stopping in this joint just to have a drink and appetizers. This really used to be by spot back when they had dine in services. Over the years it's in our delivery/pickup Bronx favorite list unfortunately. I say unfortunately because now that we are back at full operational living. I har to slash the delivery/pickup weekly rituals to only situations of desperation not necessity. So this spot has only become a craving order delivery/pickup order spot. Not a I got some/gonna make some time to go enjoy a drink and some Caribbean food spot destination. Which this was my #1 default choice before Covid as I said this used to be my spot. I would take my daughters here damn there biweekly if not be there weekly myself on dates and when hanging out . Cause they people there were serious enough about customer service they would acknowledge knowing who you are and treat you as such. Hence again why my daughters loved this place as kids. *Looks right and left* a yoo when yall opening the dinning in area again cause it's been log enough now...FIX IT! lol

Don't drive too fast down Boston Rd because you might miss this small but mighty little Jamaican…read morerestaurant. I remember when Fish N' Ting first opened several years ago and I'm pleased to know that this family run establishment is still kicking. I would put it in my top five list for Jamaican restaurants in the city. The menu is wide and varying and accommodating of different diets. If you love jerk chicken, you need to try it here! The jerk chicken lovers in my life can't get enough. My recommended dishes are the whiting (fried) with rice and peas, rasta pasta and now the lobster (which I didn't know they had). The seafood is made to order, fresh and super tasty. I never thought sweet chili and lobster would be a good combo but it totally rocks! It was truly delectable. My only issue is that they charge for gravy if the dish isn't saucy (as if) lol but I get it!

During the game, the restaurant got extremely crowded which made our experience not great. We waited over an hour for food and drinks. The kitchen was definitely overwhelmed.

They have a DJ so if you're looking to vibe while enjoying Ghanian food, this could be the spot. It was my first time trying Malt and the best way I can describe it is it tastes like molasses, slightly bitter, slightly yeasty but very mild overall. We started off with the Chicken Suya which was a bit dry and chewy but the suya seasoning made all the difference. It tastes like a blend of chili powder, ginger, garlic, onion powder, paprika, etc. It was a fine starter but definitely skippable. For entrees, we got the Street Waakye and Jollof Queen. I've had waakye (pronounced waa-che) before but this was pretty dry. The spaghetti was light and I actually liked that they used thinner noodles rather than the regular spaghetti. This dish comes with fried fish which was light, flaky, and moist. The real winner was the goat stew. I'm salivating just thinking about it! You get the essence of tomato, the tenderness and slight gamey flavor from the goat, and the thick and luscious sauce that was an explosion of flavors. I even dipped the boiled egg into the sauce which was unbelievably satisfying. The jollof rice from the Jollof Queen was cooked way better than the waakye. It was moist, well-seasoned, and didn't really need anything added to be good. I loved the sweet plantains and the chicken was also well-prepared. Considering how much jollof rice there was and that it was ~$25, they could've given more than 2 pieces of chicken. Overall, it was a pretty good meal! When the bill came, I saw there was an automatic 18% gratuity added which is totally fine considering we were a party of 7. However, they then pointed out that this wasn't tip and was a fee for "the table". I eat out a lot and never in my life have I heard of this. We ended up adding another 10% on top of that. They also charge a 3% credit card fee. I don't agree with them trying to squeeze out more money from customers who are already coming and spending money; this is definitely not the norm anywhere else I've been. Not too many restaurants in NYC serving Ghanaian cuisine but you'll enjoy some traditional dishes here.
