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

    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.

    We happened on this spot on the way to a show, and so happy we did. Such a cozy small dining room,…read moretastefully and simply designed. Everything was delicious! I had the classic Tonkatsu Ramen, with an egg - The pork ws seared and still so tender! The broth was very flavorful. My husband has a salmon rice bowl, and he loved it. He said the fish was cooked perfectly! We started with veggie gyoza, and they do them in a very interesting way. Very flat and all fried together. We were surprised when they brought them, but they were awesome! we were. fan of this style almost immediately! The waiter gently recommended the pork gyoza (his preference) but not everyone at the table eats meat, so we stayed with the vegetable. We really enjoyed our meal! everything was quick, the service was above and beyond, we would happily return!

    I've been meaning to try this place for a while. I was seated right away when I came. Fortunately…read moreit wasn't busy. Service was quick and I didn't have to wait long for my food. The restaurant is a small cozy place that's great for a date night. The ramen itself was good. It wasn't very spicy despite me ordering the spicy beef ramen. However that's usually the case for all ramen places. The broth was delicious which I finished every last drop of. Again, the meal was very delicious. It wasn't a memorable bowl of ramen but I have no complaints. The ingredients were great and it had good flavor. It's definitely one of the better spots in the neighborhood. I could recommend this location for a date night over the other ramen establishments in the area. Again, there's no shortage of choices.

    It was a dismally rainy day, so I knew I wanted ramen; Ichiran was an absolute treat!…read more After coming in and placing your order at the front counter, you're assigned to a booth. The dining area features a long counter with partitions between each diner, the better for you to focus on the experience of your meal. This is not the place to come for a group meal -- you really won't be able to talk to anyone who isn't immediately next to you -- but it's great for a quiet respite or solo dining. I got the Classic Tonkatsu, while my sister got the Veggie Ramen. Both were excellent, with richly flavorful broth, perfectly chewy noodles, and either meat or mushrooms. I got the medium spice, which was a balanced warmth that never tipped over into too much heat. I highly recommend!

I should've gotten the double serving of the ramen noodles, but I…read morewent against it because I knew I was walking a lot today and I didn't want to feel sluggish. - Forgot the pork name, but it was a fine addition on the side. I could've ordered the rice along with it, but I didn't want to do carbs on carbs especially with all the walking in the city. - Matcha beer was exactly what I thought it would be. Match + Beer. Refreshing and it was a good decision because it reached 90F that day. - Service was fast. We got our food within 5 mins of sitting down. - Place is exactly like those YouTube videos where they show what they eat either here in NY or Japan. Great lighting and I forgot to add the water dispenser is right behind you so you can easily refill yourself. I was expecting a hot water dispenser right next to you and matcha powder because I've seen it in some videos, but it's not the worst thing in the world. I'd go back, but I'm not much of a city person so I don't know when that would be. I will say, ordering from a kiosk takes away from the experience of writing on the paper you see on YouTube but again, not the worst thing in the world.

    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 missed a call and literally two minutes later the call came through again and the woman yelled at me - "hurry up hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" said the driver was waiting 10-15 minutes for me, which was simply untrue - I got a call literally two minutes before- just rude. Added a screenshot in case the owner doubles down that it was 15 mins. Guess the first call was from the delivery driver, and the second was from the restaurant itself. ‍ But the really disappointing part is that they didn't pack any soup separate from the noodles! - So my chicken dumpling noodle soup basically had no soup - don't know if they forgot it or if it was absorbed by the noodles but most restaurants at this point know to pack the broth and the noodles separately,- so I ended up having to add some of my own vegetable broth, which totally was not the flavor I was hoping for. So - love the food, but delivery service leaves a lot to be desired - next time I'll try giving instructions to pack the soup separate from the noodles and see if that helps!
