Pros: Loved the food and the service at Fish N' Ting. Sitting outside in the winter would be frowned upon, but they have these 6ft tall heating lamps that are superb. You don't even realize you are outside. Nice music selection. Very comfortable. I had the Oxtail Dinner, white rice and veggies which came with a surprisingly great bowl of GOAT HEAD SOUP... Oh my oh my one of the best tasting soups ever. I even took a bowl to go. My partner ordered Shrimp Rasta pasta and we argue about who's is better Footprints or Fish N' Tings.. so just give it a try( U decide) Lastly the highlight of my night was the two shots of Bob Marley.. The waitress advised me to eat first and she was right. They felt great but didn't get me sick, b/c my stomach was full. Did I mention the shots are set on fire! YAYYYYYY Cons: NO parking, There was a lightskin west indian guy with glasses and hat on in the back yard, drinking and controlling the music. He was annoyingly talking about gay ppl. I felt it was disrespectful and not the proper place to have that kind of conversation, especially if he was some sort of owner or worker. read more

It's a small tiny spot surrounded by auto shops. You wouldn't think there would such an amazing food coming from the kitchen. There's always a line a cars outside. The it's not super fancy but the food is delicious. The Rasta pasta is some of the best I've had. Their salmon dishes are always delicious. Every one is always nice. read more

Food is always on point and the portions are hefty. The Rasta pasta is excellent. The oxtails are well made too.

I never had Rasta Pasta and I tried it for the first time. It was a great experience. I also had the soup of the day (i forgot what it was called) and that was delicious. The jerk chicken is good, average. I liked the outdoor seating in the back. Great for relaxing. Beware: Rasta Pasta is a huge portion! read more

Great Food But the Wait time....... I know everything here is made to order, So I pre-order on the phone so I can just pick up my food and go, but when you get inside, it seems so disorganized, everyone is coming and going and you wind up waiting at least 15-20 minutes for someone to acknowledge you and give you your food. Some times I call and the phone rings and rings and when you go in, there are a bunch of people behind the counter.... which makes no sense to me. The demeanor of the servers is very nice but everyone is "Too Busy". They need to have someone dedicated just to the line where people place or pick up their orders. They have a separate counter for Door Dash, but people even wait there to pick up an order. read more

The service was amazing! My family (also Jamaican) enjoyed our rounds of Oxtail and Curry Chicken. I ordered the "poison ivy" drink which was well worth the price, I have to say. Our waitress encouraged us to sit outside, which I'm glad we did because that was where everyone else was sitting. We felt a lot more "together". The vibe overall, especially the music, made me feel like I was having dinner on the beach in Jamaica. We definitely will be coming back. read more

Awesome and very authentic JA food. We have been ordering from them for a few years now and they really shined through during the worst times of COVID. We wish them continued success. read more

I'm a huge fan of Fish N' Ting! The food is always on point. I don't think I've ever had a bad meal here. I typically order in advance and pick up. If you're getting the Rasta Pasta or Steamed Fish they tell you it usually takes 15-20 minutes (it's really more like 30+ minutes). The front is very unassuming and you could miss it between the auto-shops. When you go inside there is a small bar on the right and straightforward is where you can order food to go or get a table to dine in. There is also seating in the back that's outside (it's covered) with a bar area as well. On this occasion, I dined inside and our group ordered the callaloo spring rolls, sweet and sour chicken, shrimp rasta pasta and seafood pasta. We also had two drinks. The food is always good but the rasta pasta is supposed to be spicy but this time around it wasn't. The callaloo spring rolls were really good and spicy. The food was also lukewarm which was a disappointment. The drinks were very sweet which is expected for what we got but it tasted like we were drinking syrup and not a mixed drink with alcohol. Now for the service. The service here is always so spotty. I feel like it depends on the day and the person who ends up serving you. For this visit, the person who served us just wasn't friendly at all. She never introduced herself and it seemed the entire time she was avoiding us. We actually received great service from another waitress who was serving other tables. Recommendations: Goat soup, chicken soup, red snapper (steamed) and rasta pasta's. I'll still visit because the food is good but I would more than likely not visit for dine-in service again. read more

This was a really delicious experience. The reason I know, because we are still talking about after leaving there earlier today. We had time to kill before taking our daughter to the airport for her to return to school. We wanted to end our weekend on a great note...well we ended on more than a great note..more like a symphony or orchestra lol For starters we had festivals and plantains. We also ordered the carrot juice. Idk what else was in the juice but my goodness it was delicious!! My husband had the jerk chicken, daughter had the shrimp Rasta and I had the jerk salmon. Every thing was so deliciously seasoned and the portions were great. I could tell the salmon was a good selection and fresh. No fishy taste and it was not over cooked. Perfect! The spice was on point! We loved it and will be back. Might be our Sunday go to. read more

I can only speak for their jerk chicken: IT IS BOMB. No joke, it is one of the best jerk chicken joints I've ever been to, and I'm including the whole of the Bronx AND Brooklyn in this hyperbole as well! I've lived in the Bronx for 1 month, and I've already had jerk chicken from 5-6 different restaurants, just to illustrate how obsessed I am with finding a jerk chicken spot that my picky self actually likes. Be forewarned: it has got a nice kick to it, so if you don't do spice, you will not be able to handle this jerk chicken. The chicken is marinated well, jerk seasoning is really good, and when it's all mixed in with the already well-seasoned rice and peas...oohhhh guuuurrrl, it's really, really worth a trip. I'm salivating right now as I write this, just thinking about it! Definitely recommend a trip! One big down side is I cannot get them to pick up the phone for call ahead ordering the last bunch of times (we have come here more times than I'm comfortable admitting) and we end up waiting a really long time to get the food. I'm not gonna downgrade my review bc the jerk chicken is so good and the Rasta pasta deserves an honorable mention, but you guys need to work big time on your phone situation. read more

There was always a line of cars waiting in front of this place so I decided to give them a try. The food is great.

I am valda I ordered a large Swimp with Chicken Fried rice today January 18 2024 I always buy this same item once or twice a month and it was always delicious that's why I keep coming to buy it today January 18,2024 I called in my order and came to pick it up was in such a hurry to go home and eat but sharing it with my son who buys there regular the rice needed to steam down some more the Swimp was ok but the chicken was too tough it needed more time to cook I am so sorry I ordered it thank you. I called and the young lady answer the phone I told her what happened she told me to bring it back if I know I could I would not have thrown it out I asked for the owner but was told you were not there read more

In support of black businesses, my friend and I set out to order from this restaurant and...boy, was it a great decision! This restaurant is, by far, some of the best Caribbean food I have tasted in a long time. I ordered the curried goat with rice and peas; my friend ordered the chicken and shrimp chop suey, with a side of yellow rice and mac n cheese. Everything was made perfectly, tasted spectacular, and delivered warm still. We were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed every part of our meals. I highly recommend this spot and hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did! read more

This was a perfect meal and the service was good also. My friends had a rum punch and it was delicious. I tasted the fish fingers from another plate at our table and they were equally amazing! We went on a Saturday afternoon and parking was a problem but it was well worth the walk. read more

Food was ok. Fish was very dry. Jerk chicken was very tender and flavorful. Fried rice portions were huge. 4 people could share one order of the fried rice and is worth it. Festival was overly fried. Very small portion of plantain for the price. Probably wouldn't go back. read more

I took boo here on 6/25 for a night out. I found this place while I was searching on google for a place to take him. I came across Fish n Ting. The food pics attracted me. We arrived around 7pm on Tuesday. Its a cute spot. I had the Shrimp Rasta Pasta which was mild and the Fire Fly cocktail. It was a splash of something sweet and a dash of sour. It was not to sweet or sour. He had the Snapper fish with rice and peas and Island Rum Punch. He said it could of been more spicy. I did have to ask if we can have water. Thats usually is offered when you first arrive. I didnt try the mac and cheese and that is one thing I like to try and Carribean spots. Our waitress Simone was nice. She checked to make sure everything was good. The drinks were $12 and $13. I am not sure if they have a happy hour. The pasta was $18 and the snapper $22. I gave Simone a $10 tip. I recommend trying this spot out! read more

My friend brought me here. The area is sketchy and next to a dealership. The entrance to the restaurant is unappealing but we entered and made our way outside towards the patio. The patio spot is gorgeous. I could def see it as a place to hang out during the summer months. I believe I had the oxtail rasta pasta. It was okay. There was SO much sauce which I did not expect. It made the dish unappetizing. Imagine oxtail sauce mixed with the cream from the pasta. Yuck! Also I ordered the calaloo spring rolls which were nice and different. I've never seen that before. My friend ordered the sweet and sour chicken which she did not like. We ordered a side order of plantain and only got 4 pieces for like $5. Ridiculous! Our waitress was also the bartender. Drinks were okay also. I felt the dishes were overpriced for the taste. Not worth it at all. If I do come again, I'll probably stick with the basics (rice and peas). read more

Horrible customer service from the so called "manager" never again will I order from this place. Get it together

We consistently order vegetable Rasta pasta and a side of jerk chicken every time we order from here and everyone in our family who has tried it, has loved the food. Food is consistently good but what keeps up from coming back more often (this the 4 stars) is that this place is TOO busy and there have been multiple times where I've tried to call in my order, calling over 50+ times and getting a busy tone. So if you get lucky enough to get through on their phone line or have 20 min to just go and order in person and wait, this place is def worth it and I recommend it. If you're in a rush, I'd wait until you have more time. Staff is really nice and one time forgot my jerk chicken and gave me credit on my account to get a free side the next time fo make up for it! if being too busy is the only problem at this place, it's a pretty good problem to have! read more

Only bumped them down a star because they sometimes run out of certain menu items (if they don't run out of items is it really a Jamaican restaurant lol?). That aside, Fish N' Ting is definitely where it's at in the Bronx for sit-in (or carry out) Jamaican food and drinks. Let me just forewarn you... The drinks are STRONGGG. I'm not a light weight and let me tell you...ONE drink has me set for the night. They're really good though and the rum punch is their staple. Now, on to the food. The food is always well seasoned and delicious. I've had the callaloo spring rolls (they never seem to have the ackee ones available ), jerk shrimp (spicy but it's jerk; it's supposed to be) and shrimp rasta pasta (mild spice) which all slap (delicious)!!!! Lastly, some people don't know this, but they have an entire seating area at the back of the restaurant. That's the best place to sit if it's not full and they have a whole other bar back there as well. The front of the restaurant is a little deceiving. I'd definitely hit this place up if you're in the BX. read more

Soooo traveled all the way from Brooklyn because I had a lot of time and heard great reviews from a fellow foodie. at first I thought the place was tiny but, the hostess told us they was more seating in the back and when she walked us back there it was restaurant style. ( Okaaaaay) it was basically heated patio seating. It was a little chilly back there but, to warm us up our waitress gave us complimentary chicken soup - which was amazing btw. Very hearty with good up shredded chicken , dumpling and carrots and Likkle spice. Definitely hit the spot. I ordered festival as an appetizer and shrimp and chicken Rasta pasta for entree. Which was pretty good just not as spicy as projected but, it was still on point. My friend ordered a jerk chicken wrap which she raves about because it was literally actually jerked chicken( like off a grill and not the boneless baked tenderloins ppl be trynna pass off ) My godson was with me and we ordered him the chicken tenders and fries which was pretty good as well. All in all, very good. I may not personally visit again due to the distance but, it was worth the travel this time and i will definitely recommend. read more

A hidden gem in the Bronx. Found out about this spot after a quick yelp search. We were a party of 8 and we were celebrating a baby christening. We arrived and was seated within 10 minutes (that's great considering we had no reservation). Was pretty surprised that they didn't refuse us because of the baby. Once seated they took our order for appetizers we ordered the chicken soup, festivals and the ackee spring rolls. Those were some tasty appetizers. For entrees we order the chicken and shrimp chop suey, the shrimp fried rice, coconut shrimp with rice and peas, fries and chicken tenders and the whole snapper with rice and peas. I ordered the fried chicken with rice and peas but was told about 10 minutes later that they were sold out (that was my only problem). So I ordered the curried goat instead. I had a taste of everyone's plate and everything was seasoned to perfection. Did I mention how big the portions were (they give you a lot of food). What can I say about the drinks. I ordered the rum punch and I must say it's the best I've had in a long time (no one can get the recipe right). It was strong and tasty but one is more than enough to give you that buzz you need. I'll give them two thumbs up and I'm definitely coming back. How could I forget to mention that they do take out as well. read more

The Rasta Pasta is insanely delicious!! Jerk chicken is equally good as well...actually, I've had all 3 Pastas and all are great!

So, as usual my BFF and I ventured out to tease our taste buds. As I looked over the menu there was so much to choose from. The Jamaican Fried Rice caught my eye. There is something for everyone. For all of the chop Suey lovers there are a variety of dishes to try: Fish Chop Suey, Chicken Suey, Shrimp Suey and Vegetable Suey. Okay, so I came across Jamaican Fried Rice made to order. They had every type of fried rice you could think of. I ordered the Jamaican Chicken Fried Rice (Yes!! Chicken Fried Rice). I sat and looked at the menu in disbelief, Of course I wanted to give it a try. Okay people, I'm in a Caribbean restaurant, so of course they can make traditional dishes that makes my taste buds do the happy dance. I ordered the Jamaican Chicken Fried Rice, because my curiosity got the best of me. As we waited for our food we enjoyed the Callaloo Spring Rolls and Festival. My BFF had the Jerk Chicken, peas/rice and the steam veggies. My Jamaican Chicken Fried Rice was delicious. It was a good choice. Side note: If you are into Rasta Pasta be warned that it is very spicy. read more

Food is okay. Service is slow even with ten workers behind the counter. Makes you second guess if you wanna stop by

Dined here on a Saturday evening and was pleasantly surprised. Parking took us a while to find, but was definitely worth the hunt. My sister and I came and sat in the back area. The decor was aesthetically pleasing and had great background music. I had the garlic shrimp and my sister had the curry shrimp with a henny mojito (a must try). We also ordered a side of Mac and cheese. The food was delicious. My garlic shrimp had just the right amount of garlic and the sauce paired excellent with the white rice. The same for the curry shrimp meal. The downside was definitely the Mac and cheese. It looked great to the eye but it was extremely bland tasting. It wasn't seasoned and lacked flavor. All in all we enjoyed our time here and our waitres, Renika, was very pleasant. I will definitely come back to try more items off the menu! read more

I come here often and never had any real complaints. The price of the dishes have gone up but the food is still good. There rum punch is definitely a must have. Ive had every rasta pasta that they have to offer. Sometimes they are skimpy on the oxtail and on the chicken but most times a decent portion size. People complain about it being to much sauce but i guess people have different opinions. Overall a must have especially if you enjoy carribean food. read more

We were the only white people eating here. I always consider that a good sign! :) Likes: we started off with fried plantains and an order of festivals. They were both delicious. I ordered a piña colada and my friend ordered a mango lemonade. Both were great. For dinner I ordered the shrimp rasta pasta. The pasta was tender and the shrimp tasted fresh. The sauce on the pasta was spicy & had some nice Caribbean seasonings in it. My friend ordered the oxtail and rice. I tried some and the meat was super tender and flavorful. Our waitress, ShelleyAnne, was extremely helpful and kind. We sat on the back deck which is covered over with plastic sheeting and has heaters in it. Even though it was only 35° outside it was super warm on the deck. They had great reggae music playing and the whole place exuded a fun casual atmosphere. Overall I felt that the prices were reasonable for what we ordered. Dislikes: none read more

jerk chicken was very flavorful!!! The homemade punch was very good The rice and peas were the perfect texture !! Not hard but not mushy The staff was very sweet and helpful ! The ambience took me back to the islands In the back it was out doors in a tent kinda thing, all wooden and they had these gas lights to keep us warm! (We went in like 30° F weather and it managed to keep us warm) Wish the chicken was alittle more crispy and they did not have the sweet sauce but aside from that all was well read more

I heard good things about this place so I finally decided to try it. I'm glad I did! The food is so good. I've tried the Red snapper which is a little costly however the fish is huge and the overall portion size is large. I also tried the shrimp and chicken Rasta pasta which was made to order. That was also delicious; lots of flavor. The overall ambiance of the place is nice. You have the main area upon entry which seats a few tables. Then there's a section for take orders which to me is a bit in the way of everything because it gets crowded. My favorite section is the back which is located outside the restaurant but during the winter season they have heaters to keep you warm. The bartender there was very pleasant and she recommended a few good selections. I definitely love this spot because it's really low key from the front of the place you wouldn't think it would be much but it's definitely a gem. read more

This place has very good food and an Ah Mayyyyyy Zing drink menu. Last night, I ordered the Poison Ivy and oh my Gosh!!!! It's hands down one of my favorite drinks. #Literally and #Forever Now my food.....hmm!!! Let me tell you what I ordered; Coconut shrimp, rice n peas,and steamed vegetables. The food came and I started to take a picture but opted out bc the lighting wasn't so great. Anywho, the coconut shrimp were big as dumplings (not because they were prawns). Too much batter. They still fried them Golden but the middle wasn't done. The shrimp were cooked to perfection.....still plump and yummy. Which is why the chef took them out of the fryer......not only one wants chewy shrimp. The rice.....hmm okay...I had better but the oxtail gravy and veggies were terrific! Needless to say I enjoyed #DateNightWithMyself read more

What appeared to be an old hole in the wall turned out to be quite a delightful experience. We started with the fried fish appetizer. A much larger portion than I expected for an app. And soooo good. I went with the chicken and shrimp Rasta pasta and it was gooooood. Large portion too! Just finished the second half for lunch! My friends had the oz Raül and jerk chicken and were both very happy with their selections. Drinks packed a punch. My friend is particular about her dirty martinis, but they nailed it! And my lychee Martini???? OMG yummy and strong. I can't wait to go back. read more

2 Stars Goes To Their Sangria ... So I went in on a Monday night so it was not very busy, our server comes over quickly and we order two drinks. I ordered the sangria which was pretty good, had a nice kick Now for food... I ordered the sweet and sour chicken (12.95) and a side of Mac n cheese ($3) ....food comes out and it's flavorless. The Mac n cheese had a lot of cheese but weirdly no real flavor. The sweet n sour chicken had too much sauce so it overpowered my taste buds and I couldn't enjoy the food We get the bill and my food is charged for 13.95 and my Mac is charged 5.95 ...... When brought to my servers attention She went over and picked up the menu and proceeded to point at the note in the corner and say "you see this here, it says prices are subject to change which means prices can change at any point" which is understandable if I came yesterday and it was a different price and then came the next day and the prices went up .... but prices need to be disclosed on the actual menu.!! That's unacceptable... And if you know your menus are not up to date, As a server you need to disclose to your guests any price discrepancies, simple! read more

I was actually blown away by this inconspicuous hole in the wall restaurant. I'm from The Bronx, so I'm always excited to see good things going on there. This was a great thing. Decor left a bit to be desired, all the tables are dark and woody. Along with the dim lighting, small space of ten tables (some 2 seaters some 4 seaters), a corner of plush (but in need of repair) seats align the only window. Immediately I noticed someone had "repaired" a fabric rip by using gray masking tape tsk tsk tsk BUT this ain't project runway and I'm not Tim Gunn. Let's get to it!! The menu was decent, not a huge variety but enough to make you feel as if you didn't waste your time bothering to stop in. We were seated quickly waitresses were nice, smiled made us feel welcomed which was really nice being that I've been complaining of lack of great service lately. Drink menu was cool , they had a few creative drinks on there. The three of us immediately decided on The flaming Bob Marley shots and Rum Punch. Once we put in the order we quickly realized neither knew what in the hell to do when these shots of fire arrived!! I googled it but we were still nervous lol The waitress brought it over to us and asked if we knew how to drink it and showed us how using the straw method. Took me a few tries and 2 melted straws but I got it and it was fun and delicious, warm toward the end. I REALLY liked it, we all did. Rum punch was not the 'One hitter quitter' that my fellow Yelpers made it seem like. It was ok, Great if you like banana rum and Guava (but I don't) but not as strong as I had hoped. Food was PHENOMENAL!! When trying a place that serves food of any ethnicity I try something traditional because I feel like you should be able to do this exceptionally well and if you don't you probably won't see my money again. I ordered Oxtails, Rice and Peas, My brother ordered Garlic Crab legs and my sister ordered Mac and Cheese and Festival. Yes, I know, I know WTF were they doing ordering that at a JAMAICAN spot ?! However, I'm so glad they did!! Let me be clear IMO I don't feel like mac and cheese is something Jamaican spots do well. I've been all over and it's always been just pasta and cheese carelessly thrown together. Nuh uh, not here! The mac took the longest because it was made to order. It was hot, gooey, cheesy and sprinkled with love. I was literally amazed. The festival was also made to order and was piping hot and perfectly cooked, crispy outside soft inside slight sweetness like it should be. My brothers crab legs were amazing! I mean, usually broiled crab legs taste like well, crab. These crab legs tasted like butter and garlic all throughout. There were small chunks of cooked garlic all over the crab legs and even a clove in the dipping butter that you really didn't need but couldn't stop dipping in. I mean c'mon it was authentic garlic butter is what I'm saying and not eating it was not an option ok? Ok. My oxtail were cut on the thinner side and I usually like them to be cut thicker. The glaze was brownish reddish and I won't lie it made me nervous. I'm used to a much darker glaze on my oxtail. It did not disappoint. The texture was perfect, the sauce was delicious and the rice and peas were perfect. It had a good amount of peppers in it but it wasn't spicy. It was however, delicious and honestly I am a tough critic of Oxtails being that my husband and in laws are Jamaican. So, to me that says a lot. The bill was only 105.33 for three shots, three drinks, two full meals, three side dishes. Not bad at all. This spot will definitely be visited again and I'm so glad it's close to my family so that I have a reason to go back. This place was solid, friendly, creative with their drinks, fair in price and in my hometown. That warrants a five star review. I love The Bronx, I'm so happy I got to say something positive!! read more
