Curried Chicken Rice & PeasRice Steam cabbage Fried Plantains (4-6pcs)

0/1 Ambience; 1.5/2 Food + Beverages; 0/1 Service; 1/1 Value My friend and I wanted to try Karibbean Krave after seeing their $4.99 bag on TooGoodToGo, so we reserved/paid in advance and went to pick up the bags. We were surprised to see how big the restaurant is inside with a massive bar, giant TVs for sporting games, a fog machine for some reason, and blasting music on a Friday evening. My friend and I could barely hear each other at times. It was quite a hassle to pick up just two bags: we were sent from place to place, and ended up waiting around 35 minutes for a meal that the restaurant knew we had placed in advance. Even if we had ordered then and there, 35 minutes is quite a wait. To top it off, the waitress was rather rude and brash. I was not a fan of the fog or blasting music since I started experiencing palpitations towards the end as I waited for so long in an environment not suitable for myself (normally I would not assess the ambiance for a quick takeout order, but since we were waiting so long inside, it felt appropriate to). They also packaged the food oddly, i.e. one box's lid clearly did not fit, so they just wrapped it in a ton of plastic wrap. Considering there was a curry inside, a warning might have been nice to be very careful during transport. When we finally got the food, we were impressed by the very generous portion and a part of that was of course the discounted rate from the app. Our platters came with a big serving of rice and peas, steamed cabbage, plantains, and chicken curry. I did not enjoy the plantains, which did not have so much flavor and tasted very stale. The rice and peas with the chicken curry was delightful on the other hand! The meat was so tender and savory due to the rich, warm spices in the curry, and the rice and peas were well seasoned, albeit a little clumpy. The veggies were lightly seasoned and very fresh, and still retained a nice crunch. The food was rather good, especially for the price we paid, but I don't think I would return for regular price given the negatives of the experience unfortunately.

So, I stumbled upon this restaurant on my way home from work. I took a different route and happened to walk past and take a peak inside. It was still early when I stopped by, so I decided to come back on the weekend to sit and eat. I still ended up coming pretty early (5pm) in which the restaurant was empty, and I was the only patron inside besides the staff. A few people trickled in and sat at the bar, but the weather was also pretty bad, so I can see why there were more takeout orders than patrons. The restaurant has a big bar area with a great selection of signature cocktails and frozen drinks. The seating is also pretty nice and spacious. There are large screen TVs in the bar area for the sports lovers and Jamaican music blaring from the speakers. They also do a brunch and day party on the weekends, which I might have to stop by for. I ordered the fried shrimp which the entrees don't come with anything so you have to order the sides separately which I didn't care for. I had fried shrimp, rice & peas, and Mac & cheese. I also had a Hennessey colada, which was the highlight of my meal :) The shrimp was a little oily and not as crispy as I would have liked. The peas and rice didn't have that carribean flair, but they topped it with some stew chicken gravy, which gave it flavor because it was lacking, and I've had better Mac & cheese. Visually, the mac & cheese looked good but not something I would order again. I wasn't wowed by the food but still had a pleasurable experience. I would stop by for their brunch/ day party just to see what it's hitting for ... .

The food was delicious. We came after lunchtime and the servise was so fast that I was ordering a drink the food came. The Ambiance is buitiful awsome music and it makes me feel like in Jamaca.

For a business that opened long after the pandemic started, they're not doing too bad. Dine in only for now. As some one who lived in the Caribbean for a few years, I can say that their flavors are legit. I tired the curry chicken with with rice n peas, and plantains. They're a little pricey, but I wouldn't call it a bad deal. Just be prepared to spend $13 for a reasonable amount of food.

If you love tteokbokki, this is the place for you!! I did the AYCE lunch, and it was absolutely…read moreworth the price! For $20 per person, you get access to tons of different tteokbokki shapes, meats, vegetables, fried accoutrements, and toppings! I loved how customizable the experience was, right down to the bowls of powder that make the sauce -- you can both experiment and pick exactly what you want! This is a must-visit for me whenever I go to NYC now.

there are few AYCE meals I like, but witch Topokki is good at offering a variety of different kinds…read moreof foods if you're not sure what to go for. They offer AYCE Topokki which is the kind of meal my partner and I decided to go for but they also have AYCE hotpot if you're not a huge fan of Topokki. This place has a bunch of Topokki galore: different flavored rice cakes with different sauces ranging from mild to spicy and even tomato broth flavorings!! We opted for tomato broth with ramen and a wide range of Topokkis...the section I want to flag is the ramen shelf. There's top ramen, Jin ramen, and just cup noodles and varieties of ramen you can put in your broth if you want to know what kind of noodles it's coming from. The service is quick and it's self serve so you get up from your table to pick what you want. There's also a fried food section if you want other types of food to eat. As pictured, there's fries, wings, and fried rice cakes. The ambiance is lively with posters of Korean idols everywhere (I'm a BTS fan, so there's V everywhere, yay :) ) and they have good fruit teas and cocktails. It's a large place with designs of witches everywhere; this WITCH Topokki. it's clever and the food is filling and warm.
