As a Vietnamese whose family made oxtail pho every other week, I can confirm these oxtail portions are huge, meaty, and generous. Jerk seasoning consists of soy sauce, thyme, allspice and scallions. I was able to taste all of these components beautifully blended and grilled. The chicken was my favorite cut, bone-in chicken breast and a chicken leg. The plantains were included and were soft, sweet, and paired perfectly with the rest of the meal. The box came with a sauce, (maybe BBQ sauce)? It was one of the highlights of this meal, I taste tamarind or pineapple notes. Overall, this food plate was hearty and warmed my soul.

My first visit here, it's been on my list since the carribean spot near me in Richmond closed down…read more Food: Love, love the peppery/spicy seasoning on the curry chicken & cabbage. Gotta admit the spiciness had my tongue tingling & my nose running but it wasn't overpoweringly spicy. Btw. I didn't request spicy, that's just how it came. Cabbage and rice & peas were tasty, standard accompaniments. My hubby got the curry goat and it too was very tasty but what got my attention was how tender the goat was! To me, the goat seemed just a little less spicy so the chicken spice level may be just how they cooked the batch that day. Upon entering, I thought it was just a takeout place because I didn't see any tables or seating. While waiting on my food, I discovered a whole other large room with seating, full bar & stage! So takeout or dine-in is definitely an option. It's a little bit of a drive for me but I would definitely return.

Our final destination was Jamaica, and Caribbean Hot Pot brought the culture to life through bold, authentic Jamaican cuisine. They graciously donated a large pan of jerk chicken, large stew chicken, rice and peas, and perfectly seasoned cabbage--and every dish was prepared with incredible flavor, care, and authenticity. The jerk chicken was smoky and tender, the stew chicken was rich and comforting, and the sides tied everything together beautifully. It was a true celebration of Jamaican culture through food. What truly set this experience apart were the owners, Marquisha and Vaughn Watkis. From day one, when I first spoke with Mrs. Watkis, her response was simple and powerful: "We've got you covered." There was no hesitation, no uncertainty--just immediate support and commitment. And they delivered exactly as promised. Their follow-through, professionalism, and genuine heart for the community were evident in every detail--from clear communication to a seamless pickup and beautifully prepared food. Caribbean Hot Pot didn't just donate a meal; they stood in partnership with our mission and showed up for our children in a meaningful way. Watching our children enjoy authentic Jamaican cuisine as we closed out Winter Camp was incredibly special and impactful. It was the perfect way to end a program centered on culture, connection, and care. If you're looking for authentic Jamaican food, outstanding service, and owners who truly stand by their word, Caribbean Hot Pot is the place. We are beyond grateful and highly recommend them to anyone seeking an exceptional dining experience rooted in community and excellence. By the way, they also have another location just in case you can't get by FM 1960; they are also located at 12005 Veterans Memorial Dr., Ste A., Houston TX. Thank you, Caribbean Hot Pot--and special thanks to Marquisha and Vaughn Watkis--for helping us close our Winter Program with heart, flavor, and integrity. -- Family Alliance Network

You can tell right away it's authentic--everything from the curry chicken to the oxtail and roti is packed with flavor. It's not watered down for the masses, it tastes like somebody in the kitchen actually knows what they're doing. They've got that Trinidad influence too, which I appreciate. You don't see that everywhere. Stuff like doubles and buss up shut on the menu is a big deal if you know what you're looking at. Portions are solid, food comes out fresh, and overall it just hits. It's one of those spots where you keep thinking about the food after you leave. If you want real Caribbean flavor in Houston, this is one of the places you need to try.

However I was disappointed when I got home and started eating. First off, it's a nice set up inside, not a lot of seating but it's good, some side chairs and also some high chairs and tables. Service was great, friendly staff. I ordered curry goat white rice and plantains, didn't want the steam veg because not all restaurants do it right. I was still offered the steam cabbage on the side with server asking me what was their name and responding "it's great that's why they are called "gud food kitchen" I also got some beef patties which I had there while waiting, they were not bad. My husband got oxtail with rice and peas. When we got home and started eating I was disappointed. Curry goat was just spicy not much more flavor and the oxtail was tasting like a lot of sugar was added wasn't authentic, also no beans in Jamaican oxtail? It needed more seasoning to me. Plantains and rice were good that's all I really enjoyed. Cabbage was not done properly as it was lacking flavor and very chewy. I also didn't like that I couldn't get fried chicken, which was only done if we wanted them to cater. If I do go back it'll have to be some drastic recipe adjustments. Also the owner kept going around asking for reviews on Google, so here is my yelp review of Gud food kitchen.

The woman taking my order (sorry, I didn't catch her name) was gracious about changing my order after we realized the inKind app wasn't working. I opted for the jerk chicken, plaintains, and (Caribbean) potato salad, which was a first for me! The woman let me know ahead of time that the potato salad had a pink coloring due to the beets used in it; I'm glad she told me, atherwise the color would've taken my by surprise. I could barely taste the beets, but the relish and mayo were great combos. The rice was super fluffy, though the chicken was a bit bony and not as plentfiul as I am accustomed to when ordering from other Jamaican establishments. I dined in so was able to see the in and out traffic; it appears that they have steady customers, which is always a good sign! The overall vibe is super casual.
