I will start by saying I love the ambiance of Kokomo. Staff here is always friendly and music is always great during service and after hours. Food took entirely too long to come out. 40 minutes for an appetizer is crazy... Once they arrived, they were all tasty. I wish I took photos of the food. We ordered the curry crab gyoza which was so flavorful and the ackee and saltfish shumai. The oxtail flatbread is very large and lots of meat. They don't skimp out. Biang biang Rasta noodles is served with oyster mushrooms (so good) and peppers. I added shrimp to mine. Very tasty and filling. But keep in mind that the noodles are not penne and they are I think fettuccine They must do better on their serving time. The restaurant was crowded. But it would be nice to have the expectation set that there will be a long wait. read more

Went here for brunch with friends because the vibes looked great and reviews were solid. We had a reservation right when they opened, but they were running about 20 minutes late -- not the best start. Once seated though, the space is beautiful. We were in a sunlit room and it really set the mood. Our server was great, and we ordered family-style. Just a heads up, they have a separate "Sunday drunch" menu so options are a bit limited. For apps, we got the curry crab gyoza which was a very small portion (6/10) and the roasted mushroom truffle flatbread which was the highlight of the meal (8.5/10). For mains, we tried the biang biang Rasta noodles with salmon (6/10) and the sofrino roasted chicken (5/10). Both were a bit underwhelming. I've heard their drinks are great but we didn't try any. Food-wise, I was a little disappointed, but still had a great time catching up with friends. read more

Went for their Thursday night girl dinner and had a good time! Friendly staff, live dj, good food and cocktails. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and dimly lit. The special is pasta, salad, fries and a cocktail for 25 bucks! But add chicken or shrimp to the pasta for an additional up charge so more like 35-37 bucks depending on your choice. They have happy hour all day which is good if you want additional drinks. I had the chicken pasta which was delicious but could've been hotter in temperature. Like you can tell them make a bunch in advance and have them sit under a warmer. The coconut express martini was delicious and strong (they ran out of coffee beans though!) so I got another one! Salad was basic but the fries were delicious, so crispy and served with a spicy aioli on the side. read more

First time here and the food was good. The hosts and our waiter were very good and attentive. From the Lemon drop to the Plantini drink we're very good. I had the jerk wings with the sauce on the side and the Curry Crab Goyza which was pretty good. And for my main dish I had the pumpkin infused pancakes with chicken and my friend she ahd the coconut rice with oxtail gravy amd her drink was the Painkiller. She had a little upset stomach from mixing the drink with the crab goyza because of the creams but our waiter brought her a drink that immediately stopped whatever was going on. The only thing I did not like is the seating. I dont like to have a bunch of people all around me I just wished they had real booths for people. I would go back but be at the bar especially since the next time I would be by myself. Overall it's a must go for me. read more

I went with a party of 9. They accommodated us in a nice way. Very friendly staff. The old mountain Sauvignon blanc bottle was a good choice. It was shared amongst four people for $60. Caribbean Spiced Lamb - very delicious. The waiter said it was four pieces and comes with an egg on top. In actuality, it only came in 3 pieces and no egg on top. I feel like it should've came in 4 pieces as stated. The waiter wasn't accurate with his detail. Biang Biang Rasta Noodles - we added salmon on one and shrimps on another. The noodles did not need any proteins! The salmon was tough and the shrimp did not go well with it. Order the noodles just by itself. It will taste better. Crispy Crab Rice - very good. Curry Crab Gyoza - sauce was amazing. We saved the sauce for our next meal. Shrimp Tempura Bao Bao - was okay. Two small buns. Yardie Shrimp Flatbread - it was alright. The greens didn't pair well with it. Jerk Infused Wings - nice and saucy Standard birthday vanilla ice cream desert - kind of them to bring out for the birthday lady. Street parking. Bathrooms are a stairway downstairs. Note: 20% gratuity automatically added for a party of 2 or more. read more

Kokomo had the perfect vibe. Chill, grown, dim, and just the right energy. The music was on point, and the service was good and very personable. We ordered the oxtail, curry shrimp, a burger, and the koko pasta flatbread. Now I would never normally order a pasta flatbread because it feels comedically greedy, but I am so glad my friend let greed win. That flatbread was incredible and honestly worth the visit on its own. The oxtail was also really good and a personal favorite. Overall, I would definitely return, if only for that flatbread alone. read more

Good energy, good food, and a vibe that carries the night. Saturday night here is lively--Afro-Caribbean music, dim lighting, and a slightly romantic but still social atmosphere. The DJ definitely set the tone. Service was friendly and helpful, but you could tell they were a bit busy. Still, they stayed attentive. Food highlights: The callaloo with plantain chips--perfectly spiced, slightly acidic, and honestly the standout. Curry crab gyoza had great flavor, though a couple were a little overdone. Drinks were solid--balanced and well made. By 8 PM, a lot of entrées were sold out, which was disappointing but also says a lot. "Come for the vibe, stay for the flavor--but get there early." The Rozzay Standard: Worth it (with timing in mind) Best for: birthdays, group dinners, or a night out with good music and energy read more

my boyfie and I have been wanting to try this place ever since we saw the lamb and oxtail flatbread!! it looked so goood. we came in on a weekday afternoon, total of 3 customers at the time. Place played music, definitely romantic and giving an occasion vibe. Staff was friendly! Food came out after 15 mins or so. We ordered: Lamb 5/10: Flavor was salty, and sweet which I liked! however the lamb didn't taste fresh, there is a slight sour aftertaste. the food was also COLD! which was disappointing but we pushed through. Oxtail flatbread 9/10: YESSS SOOO GOOOD!!! the oxtail flatbread is so yummy and cheesy! do you see that cheese pull???? it was me and my boys fav. The drinks were good! A staff member asked if she could take a picture, and I thought it was for their ig or something but it was for it to be printed, framed and bought! so yes please for the memories Will probably come back just for the flatbread! read more

Inside is nicely decorated. The design is stylish w tables and space. Dj has nice best going . Staff is great and attentive. They charge a 20% service fee for parties of 2 or more that's crazy!. The food is heavy, light on ingredients and so so overall. The crab gyoza has no taste of crab, was dry and overpowered w the curry flavor. The flatbread had little shrimp on it, was a bit soggy and though decent in flavor wouldn't order again. I want to go back and try the wings and oxtail or red snapper to see how they do with them but otherwise would go for drinks and beat! read more

For a Friday night the vibe was just right. Flavor, Music and Decor. Highly recommend making reservations. This was a spot I've been eyeing for a long time and I'm glad I was able to experience it this weekend. As you can see in the pictures we were able to enjoy a few great things on the menu. For drinks we had watermelon, sorrel lemonade (nonalcoholic). Their herbed fries were so good we ended up ordering twice, I believe it's that delicious pepper sauce, (just the right amount of scotch bonnet taste), they serve it with that makes them taste even better. The sautéed callaloo was different (in a good way) served with plantain chips and some type of crema. One of our friends also ordered the ackee and salt fish shumai for starters. For our mains, my friend loved her coconut curry lentils suggested by one of the staff members. Thank you! My other friend ordered the oxtail flatbread (which I had to have with the pepper sauce, of course) . I ordered the jerk chicken wings, sweet plantains and coconut rice (some of the best any of us have had). Overall the service was excellent, attentive, friendly and on our pace. They resolved certain issues we had with diligence. I will definitely be back to savor some more items one the menu. read more

Kokomo had been on my list for a while, and I finally stopped by. The vibe is great with both indoor and outdoor seating -- definitely make a reservation if you're coming with a group. I tried the Crispy Chicken Bao Bun which I recommend, the Koko Pasta Flatbread with chicken - it is a perfect portion, even though it came out last, and the XO Noodles -- flavorful but not as impressive as expected. The Mac & Cheese was surprisingly light and tasty. Service was a bit confusing due to a change in servers, and prices are definitely on the higher side. We were so full by the end, we had to skip dessert. Solid spot overall -- I'd come back to try more. read more

This was my first time at Kokomo. I've been to the block party but never sat inside of the restaurant and ate. The restaurant was clean and decorated nicely. Our waiter's name was Matthew. He was very pleasant, attentive, and cute. My friends were making him so nervous but he did so well lol. We came on a Sunday and had to order from the "Sunday Drunch" menu. The French toast and fried chicken was so so good. The Mac and cheese was good but wayyyyy too cheesy for me. The jerk infused wings were good but they weren't cooked well enough for my liking. I also ordered a 3 drink mimosa bundle, which was very good. I'll return to Kokomo. read more

A Gourmet Caribbean Escape at Kokomo! I had the pleasure of dining at Kokomo early one evening, and honestly, I was floored. This isn't just your typical neighborhood spot--it is unbelievably awesome. Located right by the scenic Brooklyn waterfront, here is why this place is a standout: The Atmosphere: While you can't actually see the water from your table inside, the decor is so well-executed that you'll feel like you've been transported to a secluded, high-end Caribbean destination. It is beautiful and truly immersive. The Food: This is super-gourmet, fine Caribbean dining. The flavors are elevated and sophisticated. There is "fine dining" pricing to match, but for the level of quality you're getting, it is worth every penny. The Drinks: They absolutely do not disappoint. Perfectly balanced and high-quality. The Service: The wait staff was kind, courteous, and incredibly efficient from start to finish. I will be coming back here again, and again, and again. I'll be recommending Kokomo to anyone who will listen! If you want to experience Caribbean cuisine at its most refined, this is the spot. read more

It was a Wednesday and I wanted bottomless beverages and brunch in the middle of the week and not too many places do that...this one does. Shout out to a fellow yelp elite NYer for hitting me with some recommendations. Also, black owned at the end of Black History Month is a win. The bartender/server (yes, I'm a bar fly) was not feeling her best but her personality didn't represent that. I forget her name, even though she told me. She was nice in that beautiful New York ruggedness, Bronx origins I believe. I hope that she's there the next time I visit. It was quiet on this Wednesday afternoon with only a few tables being served and I got a moment to speak with one of the owners. She was cool. They were doing photos for the restaurant this afternoon. The food was good. It's rare to find good food with bottomless drinks. The French toast was perfect. I could've gone for more of it than chicken. The chicken was well flavored but slightly dry, my only complaint. I was actually speaking with another server about that after she asked me for my honest review. I was clearly very social during this visit probably because that carafe didn't stay upright often. All in all, this was a good spot that I'll stop into again I'm sure. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for quite some time and decided to go for dinner. I did not have a reservation but was told I could sign up and wouldn't be more than 30 minute wait, which was accurate. I received a text when a table opened ip and was seated. Unfortunately, things sorta went downhill from there. The server came over after about ten minutes, but I was still waiting for my friend. Once she arrived, it took about 10-15 for him to return. We placed our order and then we waited over 90 minutes for our food. It took 90 just for our basic appetizers to come and while I got my calloo, my friend's appetizer was incorrect. They took about 25 minutes to bring her correct appetizer, which was cake and salt fish. She was perturbed, as was I, but she did enjoy her appetizer. While we sitting there frustrated a different server must have noticed something was wrong and we explained we had been waiting extremely long and she said she noticed we had been there awhile. She offered us a drink on the house to make up for it and went to get our food. I had the Salmon and that came with white rice. It was okay and we also had some macaroni cheese which was okay as well. We both had bread pudding for dessert which seemingly followed the same theme of just being okay. I did enjoy the drinks (Henny Colada) but the wait time really left a sour taste. I appreciate teed the other server coming to assist-- she further explained that he way too many tables assigned to him and was overwhelmed. However, that should never happen where it takes damn near two hours to eat. read more

Kokomo is a gorgeous spot right near the water in Brooklyn. I appreciate their creative cocktails and variety of vegetarian options. To drink, I enjoyed the We Limin' and the Henneycolada is a must try - be sure to stir it or you're gonna get a huge mouthful of henney lol. To eat, my favorite item was definitely the Koko Flatbread. The Rasta Balls, Tofu Buns, and Mac & Cheese were also tasty. I could've passed on the plantains - they weren't bad but were just kind of mid. Desserts were a tad underwhelming and very small. Great vibes and our waiter was great! read more

I've come here an embarrassing amount of times just for that oxtail flatbread! It's my absolute favorite thing on the menu, but there's so many great things to choose from. I've come here for restaurant week, Valentine's Day, and casual drops ins the food never disappoints. It is very pretty inside, the perfect occasion dinner spot. The curry crab gyoza was extraordinary and I'll be getting that again. I also really like their Rasta pasta dish. The drinks are always good and strong. I highly recommend Kokomo!! read more

Kokomo - Oxtail Flatbread - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Believe it or not, we actually picked Kokomo based on all the positive Yelp reviews, and, I gotta say, it definitely held its own. The vibe is lively and the energy in the room makes it a great spot for a night out. The waiter was friendly (wish I remembered her name to shout her out). We started by splitting the jerk infused wings, which had a solid kick without being overpowering. For my main, I wasn't going to come to a West Indian spot and not have the oxtail. It was tender, rich, and fell right off the bone. We finished with the pumpkin cheesecake, which was a really nice way to end the meal. The drinks were also a highlight. I switched between the Painkiller (classic Caribbean rum vibes, very smooth) and the Berry and Bright, which was a nice contrast with the whiskey and blackberry. Will definitely return. It's a vibe! read more

The vibe the service everything was perfect upon entry. Came here as a party of 10 for my friends bday dinner this was my first time here and I had this place bookmarked for a while years to be exact lol.... Now on to food since we were a large party we had a prefixed menu option which made the most sense and was worth it in my opinion! We had the infused wings, crab gyoza, and the shrimp for appetizers; the salad with the shrimp was everybody's fave I wasn't a fan of the wings and the gyoza was overpowered by the curry that you didn't taste crab however they were still decent. For entrees we had oxtails, salmon and the, vegetarian pasta everyone enjoyed their food I liked the tamarind sauce that came with the salmon it elevated the coconut rice for me. I do feel like the food could've been slightly better but it wasn't bad! The French75's were made to perfection as well! I want to come back in the warmer months to enjoy the rooftop. read more

This is my 3rd visit to Kokomo. However, it was my first time dining inside the restaurant. Kokomo is a very beautiful restaurant. The manager was extremely helpful and polite. My friend and I both enjoyed our sweet chili wings as our appetizer choice and menu choices from the Sunday Drunch menu. My friend ordered sweet plantain pancakes which were amazing. I will definitely have to order that next time I visit on a Sunday. What I love about Kokomo is the consistency and knowledge that I know the food is always going to be delicious. read more

Saturday, 6/7/2025 - Went to Kokomo and had lunch. Address is 65 Kent Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11249 (Williamsburg - North Side). Nice restaurant. The food dishes we got were all good. Our waitress was professional and nice. Water tasted great. Restaurant looked clean. Utensils, plates, cups, table clean. Across from us was more tables with swing chairs (that can fit 2 people in the swing chairs). You can't swing on it of course. But I thought that was unique. They made sure to refill our water cups. Bathroom was down stairs and clean too. They do charge you gratuity if it's 2 or more people in your party. You'll see it in your receipt. read more

I've been following the restaurant on Instagram for some time but after seeing some BTS videos of Sous Chef AJ, General Manager Tasia & CoOwner Kev -- I jumped out of bed, made a last minute resy and commuted two hours from Montclair to Brooklyn to try Kokomo for the first time! I was greeted with a huge smile by the host who checked me in, made me aware that my table was ready, and offered me a seat at the bar until the other 2 people in my party arrived. The smell of Caribbean food filled the air, the music was booming and vibes were great -- this Haitian kid felt at home. Once my siblings checked in about 10 minutes later, our host directed us to our table. As we were taking our coats off to sit, Tasia (I recognized her from Instagram) approached our table and made us aware that the kitchen was closing within 30 minutes. We thanked her and took our seats. No less than 60 seconds later, a gentleman sporting a wrinkled black polo came over, introduced himself as our waiter and echoed the general manager's message. I asked the waiter for his name and he shared that it was Sinque (forgive the spelling). He went on to share what items they were out of for the day. We asked for his recommendations and requested two minutes for us to review the menu. Sinque obliged. Feeling extremely rushed, we skimmed the menu, identified a few things to eat and waited for our waiter to return. When he did, we ordered: Appetizer: Oxtail flatbread Entree: Pikliz Fish sandwich Jerkmi burger Koko's Chicken & waffles Sides: Sweet plantains Dessert: Rum raisin banana bread pudding Drinks Pear & Ginger Mimosa Ginger Ale Ginger Beer The oxtail flatbread was delicious! We really enjoyed the tender oxtails contrasted with the crispy onion on top. We sipped our drinks and made light conversation until our entrées arrived. My brother devoured his pikliz fish sandwich in a heartbeat but my sister was underwhelmed by her chicken and waffle dish. Her chicken looked amazing but tasted burnt (old oil?) but even worse - the waffle was literally inedible. My burger however was the freshest burger I've had in my life. The bread pudding was a bit small but packed with flavor. Given how dense the dessert was, the plastic spoons made it really challenging to dig in with ease. Food overall: 7/10. Having worked in hospitality for over 15 years (fast casual, fine dining & high volume hotels) I was really impressed by Kokomo's social media presence. The training videos and the standard of excellence clearly articulated by Kev, Tasia and others set the bar really high. That standard made me jump out of bed and take four trains for a two hour commute from NJ to Williamsburg. This is why I was extremely disappointed we didn't experience this level of excellence yesterday. Overall experience was sadly a 4/10. I will give it some time but will certainly be back and hope to have a better time. read more

The rum syrup/sauce that came with was so good. The drinks are also good and strong. I enjoyed the Sop Thyme drink, it was very refreshing.

Got the Carribean bowl sonce I wanted to try things i havent had before like callaloo and ackee and saltfish. Havent really had Carribean food before so not sure if it's supposed to be like that but the boiled dumpling was super hard and flavorless. The whole dish was pretty flavorless except for the ackee and saltfish which was quite yummy. But $35 seems overpriced. My friends got other dishes like the chicken and waffles which they enjoyed. If you want to do the bottomless brunch option then your whole table needs to get it so we opted not to. Service was nice tho since they were an hour late getting one of our dishes to us, they took it off our bill read more

Kokomo - Caribbean Bowl - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've been here before, but this time was terrible. We came the day after thanksgiving for brunch. I opted for the bottomless option. The mimosas were watered down and the waiter was slow. Without warning, he told us that the bartender was leaving so I wouldn't be able to order mimosas anymore. I said could I at least get a few mimosas and he told me he could only give me 2. If they knew the bartender was leaving, I should've at least gotten a carafe. My food almost took forever. Thank God we got apps. We got the jerk pasta balls. When my food finally came out after an hour, it was just okay. I got the chicken & French toast. The French toast was tasty and sweet, but it was barely hot. We told our waiter about our experience and he didn't offer us anything. I think this will be my last time at Kokomo. read more

Tried Kokomo's Girl Dinner Thursday and I love a good NYC deal when I find one. For $25 you get a cocktail, house salad, spicy alfredo pasta and truffle fries which is honestly a solid amount of food for the price. I went with the lychee martini and it was really good and refreshing. The pasta had a little spice to it and the truffle fries were a great side. The restaurant has a nice vibe and it's definitely a good place to go with friends for dinner and drinks without spending a crazy amount. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you're looking for a cute girls night spot in NYC. read more

i dint know if it was the night or whatever but I doubt it. it was a Friday night (tonight) I ordered two cocktails that came out to $48 so be careful ordering blindly if you're ik a budget. I must say the cocktail was absl delicious; don't remember the name but if you want it just say "the piña colada on sterioids". the service was absolutely horrible I was genuinely disappointed. we were a party of 5 and only 4 of us on entrees. (Mine never came). when I mentioned it after 50 min of waiting the server asked if I wanted anything else because their "flatbread guy" left for the night I hungrily declined The food that was served was hineyly an 8.5/10. Though the food is tasty I do still believe this establishment is overpriced. PS you're better off ordering appetizers the bar and keeping it simple with wine. If the service were better they could be more than a fancy pit-stop. read more

My friend and I decided to try Kokomo for dinner since neither of us have been. We didn't have a reservation but were able to get seated right away. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and spacious. The staff are friendly and helpful. Our waiter, Matthew was a little nervous since it was his first week but he was so nice and accommodating to us. I have to be honest and say that the food is mediocre but the cocktail was a hit. We ordered the Smoky Jerk infused wings and the Parmesan truffle fries. The wings definitely wasn't seasoned and no hint of anything close to jerk seasoning/sauce and one of the wings was burnt. As for the fries, I really don't think they are freshly cut fries. Needless to say, our experience wasn't as expected especially after hearing so much about them. One last thing, they are overpriced. read more

Super cute, trendy Caribbean restaurant in Williamsburg. The drinks were creative and tasted pretty good. The wing appetizer is really small and didn't taste great. It only came with 5 tiny wings for $17. The mussels came in what seemed like a fettuccine pasta sauce. I don't think I've ever had mussels in a sauce like this before and I don't think I'd ever need to again. Although the sauce was good on its on, it didn't work well for the mussels and they were really soft/mushy. Maybe from sitting in the hot pasta sauce. The oxtail stew was delicious. The meal came with a good amount of oxtails with meat that fell off the bone. The rice and peas were good and it had a side of roasted veggies. Service was fine. Our server was ending his shift and introduced us to the person that was taking over. At this point we were done and asked for our check/boxes. I was a little annoyed the original server Juan, didn't just bring us the check and let us cash out before he made the switch because it ended up taking a while longer as the new server got caught up with everyone else. The music was good! read more

I had heard of Kokomo from its inception during the pandemic. I remember even watching one of my faves from Love Island USA dine there with friends, and I knew I wanted to check it out eventually. The fact that this establishment survived the pandemic is impressive to me. Four years later, I finally made it to Kokomo. We called ahead on Sunday after church to check their availability. The hostess said it was first come, first serve and that they did not take reservations. When we arrived, another hostess told me it would be a 15 to 20-minute wait. We sat down, and within 10 minutes, we were called. The hostess showed us our seating option: the baby blue-covered swing seats in the front. It was definitely cute for people on a date. The menu selections we chose were the Braised Oxtail and the Jerk Chicken with a side of sweet plantains. My Braised oxtail was decent, and I am happy with the portion set aside in a separate bowl. This showed that there was no skimping on the oxtail or the crucial oxtail gravy. Further, the sides of broccoli, carrots, and rice were also solid. Now, the Red Peppa Jerk Chicken was not it. The color was right, and it looked the part, but the meat was not seasoned, so it was a half-jerk, in my opinion. Aside from the food, I appreciated the decorating elements. The bright colors, details of cute nooks, and Caribbean and bohemian-style elements were nice throughout. I love a good soundtrack at a restaurant. They made sure to have all the hits from Hip-Hop, R&B, Soca, Reggae, Dancehall, Afrobeats, etc. But the music was just tooooo loud, like we were in a club. read more

Came for brunch on a Saturday morning with a group of 4. This place has super cute decor with a lively atmosphere. We had a reservation, but still had to wait a for a bit to be seated (that didn't bother us too much though. We just sat at the bar until our table was ready). Once seated our server was great. He had his hands full with a number of tables, but managed to still be attentive to our needs. I'm obsessed with callaloo and ackee & saltfish so I ordered the Sautéed Caribbean Bowl. I did not enjoy the boiled plantain, boiled dumpling, or boiled egg, but the callaloo and ackee & saltfish were delicious!! That part definitely did not disappoint. I also tried the French Toast and Chicken. The fried chicken was nice and crispy. The french toast was great. I loved the thick cuts of brioche. A friend raved about the mac & cheese so I gave that a try as well and was pleasantly surprised! If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely come back to try more items on the menu. read more
