Rum Punch
Devin T.

Small Low-key Spot That Packs A Punch!!! Recommended from a colleague. Went late night around 10pm on a Sunday. The music was 10/10! Food was very affordable I had curry goat, rice and pea with cabbage. The rice wasn't the best but for what it was worth I don't have any complaints. Would return

Old Chicken Patties
Marie D.

I am disgusted and frustrated. On November 29,2023 I Ordered 3 Patties. 2 chicken and 1 beef. I feel like it says a lot about an establishment if you can get beef patties wrong because You can't go wrong with that right? (Please refer to the pictures and videos) The Meat was old and the crust was super hard like it was left out there to dehydrate. The meat inside was congealed. But the patty itself was hot. When I called to find an understanding, a woman answered the phone and was so rude. Told me to come back to talk to the manager. I don't like making reviews so easily so I went to go talk to the manager, they said he was not there. So I called everyday for 5 days and they refused to give the phone to the manager. I'm leaving this here all to say I got food poisoning the next day. Please do better with your food and especially with your waiters. She was rude and this could have been fixed easily but chose violence instead

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.

Fried shrimp, rice & peas, sweet plantains

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.

Perfect spot to get a quick meal during a cold day! Walked in at 3:20 on a Sunday and were lucky to…read morefind a table. They close at 4 pm to reopen for evening service. As expected, quick service, flavorful food, and surprisingly quiet ambiance. The place was at 90% occupancy when we were there. They have a good amount of Vegan options thanks to their dedicated Vegan menu. Order anything that is labeled Spicy and for spice food lovers, it'll definitely hit the spot! Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen ($20), and Spicy shrimp ($23) is what we got. Very flavorful and good portion size. Highly recommended if you enjoy a hot bowl of Ramen!

Nice spot with a variety of options across ramen and rice don bowls, tonkatsu, beef, salmon and…read moreshrimp. We tried the spicy shrimp (coconut based broth), spicy tonkatsu, and salmon miso ramen. The tonkatsu and salmon were both cooked well - tender and moist. Ramen noodles were thin and well cooked - more al dente. We also tried the karaage which had a thick crispy batter and a sweet glaze, with an optional spicy side sauce for dipping. They had a variety of sake and beer options. The inside is small but turnaround is fairly quick. Lots of two seaters and a large table that we were able to snag after just a few minutes of waiting. There was also bar seating. Pretty dark inside to add to the ambiance for a quick date or catch up with friends. Checked in to the waitlist via Resy because we didn't have a reservation, and it was a short wait. Service was prompt.

As the name implies, it really is an excellent dumpling house!…read more Me and my buddies were in Jersey and New York for some hockey games, and wanted to go to a deli, get some Chinese food, and a slice of pizza. Got off the E train and when we looked for Chinese food, this place popped up with good reviews and it was just a short walk from where we got off the train. My buddies ordered the special lunches and we also got two types of xlb's, beef chow fun, and some fried dumplings. The special lunches come with a little fried rice, cold garlic flavored noodle, choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup, and main side. My buddies all enjoyed their meals. The beef chow fun was also really good and beef was nice and tender. The xiao long baos were excellent and is comparable to any place in California like DTF. Nice and juicy and great with some ginger, soy sauce, and spicy chili. Friendly service and food comes out pretty quickly. Credit card is accepted. Bathroom was also very clean, which is sometimes rare in some Chinese restaurants I have been to. If you're looking for a good Chinese meal, stop here when you're in the Chelsea area.

I hadn't been to EDH in a while and was happy to see they do have later hours (with a smaller late night menu). The place was pretty busy at 10:00 PM last Saturday, with a wide range of diners, which is good for business. The food though, at least that night, was really disappointing. My friend had the chicken dumplings. He said they were okay. I thought they were overcooked. My steamed shrimp shumai were fine, but steamed, they didn't have much flavour. The edamame, on the other hand, had way too much when it should have almost none. I don't know if it was excess salt, MSG or something else, but not good. I should have sent them back. I hope this was just an off night for the kitchen.

I went with 2 other ppl and we all got their Onigiri Combo, which was ~$16, and you get 2 onigiris, a miso soup, and a cup of their sides (edamame, sweet egg, pickled carrots). For my combo, I got a Sukiyaki Beef onigiri, which was my fave one, and a Salmon onigiri, which was fine, just a bit plainer than I'd like. But, I like that they added furikake seasoning throughout it to add flavor. I didn't care much for their sides - the egg was too sweet for my liking and the pickled carrots were too soft. I ordered an addtl Kinko (mushroom) onigiri bc I was quite hungry and it was alright. Def a lighter taste. Overall, a decent spot for a solid, reliable, good bite! Place is clean and service is friendly. There's a bathroom down a hallway that does the job. I'd come back for a meal that's great value!
