I found this restaurant on the IN KIND app, and the menu looked great. I don't live far, so I was a little skeptical since I had not heard of it, I used to own a restaurant in the neighborhood, and I eat out several times a week in Manhattan and Brooklyn at the same places that I love, and I also love cooking amazing food for family and friends. Let's say, I was pleasantly surprised, and actually blown away! My family is Jamaican, so fusion isn't always my thing, but this restaurant did the most amazing job with all of the food! The proteins honored the culture, and the fusion elements actually mirrored my favorite Chinese Jamaican spot in Ocho Rios, so all of it honored its roots! ON TOP OF THAT, the vegetables were fresh and flavorful--not overcooked! Excellent. And the jasmine rice was the best rice that I have had anywhere in NYC. PERIOD. A chef that cares about the RICE is definitely putting his foot in the rest of the meal! I had to call back to get the name of Chef Bunny - I needed to know who COOKED that food! And Amanda was extremely helpful with taking our order and fixing a little boo boo in our pickup order. She had the incorrect item Lyft couriered to us - I appreciate the extra effort and expense, as I know restaurants have a tight profit margin. I will definitely be back to dine in - can't wait. Our group got the oxtail, jerk chicken, pineapple and basil fried rice, and the ORANGE chicken - I tasted and ate all - each one better than the next. And we topped it off with the bread pudding (and added Haagen Das and whipped cream at home). read more

I finally made my way to La Mode, and babyyy... the food did not disappoint. Everything was super flavorful, seasoned well, and just hit the spot. I went on Resurrection Sunday with a party of 9, and we were seated pretty quickly, which I appreciated because large groups can be tricky. Our waitress was so lovely--attentive, kind, and really added to the overall experience. They seated us upstairs, and I loved that space. It's perfect if you're thinking about hosting something like a birthday dinner or small private event. It had that balance of cozy but still giving "occasion." Now let's talk about the brunch--because that's really the star. They had a brunch + karaoke vibe going on, which made the atmosphere fun without being overwhelming. The bottomless mimosa deal (plus a starter, entrée, and dessert) was actually worth the price, which isn't always the case at brunch spots. Overall, this is definitely a place I'd come back to--whether it's for a cute brunch, a group outing, or hosting something special. read more

Exactly, our order was put in late, why would we sit hungry for 45 min; after arriving at 6...Staff should put in orders quickly, not get distracted. Old refrigerator kept salmon is an obvious problem. If you know guest come for, and like a popular dish like curry chicken; you make adequate amounts continually. The calculator shows correct addition. Your app has chicken accounted on bill; again, not the quests problem or mistake but yours...the quest is hoping for a great dining EXPERIENCE; not divisive drama. Restaurant's come and go; staying power is understanding issues, foresight and follow thru. Your food presentation gets five stars, however, looks can be deceiving! Like fake lashes, make up and hair. Never underestimate your guests; good luck, be well! read more

I think this is my third time here! The food is slamming, hot temp wise and very flavorful. I had the carnival salmon with rice and peas and sweet plantains. No complaints! My boyfriend devoured his snapper! The drinks are strong but not a bad strong, a well balanced and nicely mixed strong. The lychee martini was delicious and my boyfriend's coconut rum punch was creamy and packed a punch for sure. Service is attentive and friendly from the moment we walked in. Always a plus. They had a DJ so it was a little on the loud side but it was Friday night! It was also freezing where we sat, thankfully I had my jacket. read more

No thank you ‍. Really disappointed in the food, and drinks. They didn't have a Diet Coke and out loads of ice in the virgin drink. The fried rice wasn't eatable. It was rice and peas without the peas w/ a little of frozen peas. The only thing that was good was the fish cakes. Mac and cheese 5/10 and oxtail dinner 5/10. Truly disgusting read more

Here for a family repast and the staff was awesome in making everyone comfortable and welcome. Enjoyed the tacos, pot stickers and chicken tenders and wings! Something special with their sauces too! On chicken tenders or their pot stickers. Nice vibe with a large tv over the bar and music isn't too loud for table conversations. There is a nice upstairs area for lounging that has a great view of the restaurant and the other TV's on the walls. Did I mention the stew chicken, steamed vegetables and house salad with their scrumptious house dressing? How about the oxtails?!? Okay, now that I did...come on by! read more

I came here apart of the Kwanzaa crawl local and black owned bar experience and it did not disappoint. The dj was amazing. He definitely kept the crowd dancing. They even had a Photo Booth. We ordered food and they definitely realized we needed food fast. And them chicken wings were amazing. This is another local black owned bar that I didn't know about. And I will definitely be back here to support this local business. read more

The appetizers that I had were really good! The whiting fish tacos were fresh and seasoned and the fresh veggies it is served with were good. The shrimp were delicious! The codfish cakes were decent, I would get them next time with the sweet sauce on the side. The decor is comfy. They have high, low and bar seating, as well as outdoor! Felt welcomed upon walking in. read more

Went in for dinner with a friend. First the wait time to get seated was ridiculously long so we sat at the bar. While at the bar we ordered our drinks and dinner. We decided on the stew chicken and oxtails but they were out of both. So we settle for jerk salmon. Unfortunately, we never got to taste that either because after waiting for almost an hour our food never arrived. Very disappointed and will not be going back. read more

This restaurant came highly recommended but I have to say I was disappointed. My girlfriends and I started with appetizers. We had the cod fish cakes, bang bang shrimp and wings. The wings were very sweet, the shrimp and the cod fish cakes were ok. We all ordered oxtails but was told they didn't have any that day. After being disappointed, we ordered the Thai Butter Shrimp which came with rice - again the shrimp was very sweet - so much so we didn't like it. We also ordered a side of Mac and cheese which was ok. The restaurant itself is cute and the service was good but without good food I honestly can't give a higher rating. read more

I came around the holidays. They had just opened. I believe I was the first guest of the day. I was the only guest dining while I was there. However that didn't stop me from being served to the highest standard. It's absolutely beautiful inside. With so much art to enjoy. Murals all around. My food was delicious. I will say, the whole fish was a bit pricey. I believe about $50, as it may have been "market priced", however I don't regret my choice! When I went, it was happy hour, so I was able to indulge in a couple of the bartenders recommended selections! Those did not disappoint either! read more

A group of us got together to celebrate a friend's milestone birthday. This place is very cozy and has very good food. Although it took forever to receive my entree, my friends received there food in a timely manner and their dishes were soo good. Thank goodness for the appetizers (cod fish cakes, and escovitch bites), they did not disappoint at all. The bartender made excellent lemon drops and this really good cucumber drink. I cannot wait to come back to NYC, they will be back on my dinner list. Unfortunately not photos were taken, but trust you will not be disappointed. read more

The food was delicious I'm sorry there are no pictures. It was that good. I went for happy hour and ordered jerk meatballs, escovitch tacos, and chicken. The flavors were off the chain! The service was top tier. Our server/bartender was Marquise. He took us from mango margaritas to sorrel martinis. They were so good we had to have 2! We talked about coming back for brunch but we weren't sure of the rum punch he gave us both a little sample! That's a way to keep us coming back. The restaurant exudes black excellence with the paintings and decor. read more

Had to give this place a second chance because I knew Kwanzaa Crawl wasn't a fair take on the place & it was nice. Entered today around 5:45pm and we were the only ones inside. Two stories, red/black decor with a huge mural, but appeared a bit dirk. Huge tv with baseball playing and no music until 6:30pm which ended up being Caribbean slow jams at the perfect volume to talk. Ordered the $10 happy hour ginger margarita, $10 Thai chilli wings (not too impressed) , $14 escovitch tacos (spicy fried whiting ), $24 jerk chicken (spicy & authentically flavorful and crispy) and $30 shrimp (sweet curry) w/ jasmine rice & sweet plantains. Everything that we had (except the wings) were a ten! The waitress was nice, but I do wish they were a little swifter. May be great for others as there was no rush. read more

My friend took me here to celebrate my birthday and I had an amazing time. First of all, let me apologize for my pics because I was hungry and started eating then remembered I didn't take pictures. It's all good tho because the food and drinks were delicious. I had the classic jerk chicken with rice and peas and plantains. This was the best rice and peas I've had since my mom's. The coconut flavor in the rice was as if they actually grated the coconut in there. The portion size was enough to share and I ended up brining it home. My friend had the pasta with chicken and that was so delicious, just filled with flavor. And the drinks...we both had a rum punch. The bartender didn't skimp on the rum at all. Great choice! There was a live band and I was lucky enough to have them sing happy birthday. Overall, great establishment, friendly service and atmosphere and amazing food/drinks. They also have outdoor seating. Eat, drink and enjoy! read more

This is such a great place. My friend and I were able to get a weekend dinner reservation a day in advance. We were greeted by a woman I believe the be the owner. She was very warm and welcoming. Once we were seated we were introduced to our server. The menus are on iPads. You can select your items there and have your server review and add items from iPad. Appetizers: escovitch fish bites was a large portion/ enough to share and very delicious Also ordered the escovitch shrimp with bang bang sauce. So good! Entree: jerk chicken was good but it doesn't taste like it was marinated for a long time. The sauce was good but the chicken itself was ok. You are allowed two sides. Orders rice and peas with plantain We also ordered the macaroni which is delicious! Definitely order.the cheesy mashed potatoes needs work. It needed, butter and salt. The only flavor was the cheese thrown on top. Drinks were good. Not stingy with alcohol. They did take a long time to come. They came after our food was served. Bar may need additional staff for weekends. This place has two levels. It appears to accommodate large groups/ private events on the 2nd floor read more

I was able to stop by while I was in New York visiting family. I was the first of our party to get there and was able to meet one of the owners. He was very kind and told me a little bit about his history in the restaurant business, along with his wife. We were seated in the upper level where it has more of an Asian vibe. The owner stated that the restaurant is supposed to be a Caribbean-Asian fusion. The decor was beautifully done. You feel like you're in the Caribbean downstairs, which is contrasted with the Asian theme up top. I had the oxtail dinner with rice and beans. My sister had the pasta and she added jerk chicken to it and my cousin had the escovich fish. The food was very flavorful, but almost everything was really spicy. That is not a bad thing for me, but I would say if you are not big on spice, then please be aware before you order. read more

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at La'Mode BK and this is now the second time this has happened. Both visits, they ran out of red snapper. This past Friday was especially unacceptable. My friend and I placed our orders without issue. I stepped away briefly, and when I returned, I was told I needed to reorder because they had "run out" of snapper. When I questioned why the electronic menu did not indicate the item was sold out, the waitress explained that while she was entering my order, someone called in requesting red snapper and they gave it to the caller instead. Let me be clear: a phone-in order should never take priority over a customer who is physically present and has already placed their order. That is a serious lapse in customer service and basic business etiquette. If inventory is limited, it should be updated immediately and honored on a first-come, first-served basis especially for dine-in guests. This situation reflects poor inventory management and even worse customer service judgment. After two visits with the same issue, it's hard not to feel like in-house customers are an afterthought. Management seriously needs to reevaluate how orders are prioritized and how inventory is handled. This experience was frustrating, disrespectful, and completely avoidable. read more

We came here after spending time at the Brooklyn Museum. When you enter the restaurant, the Caribbean and Asian fusion theme is prevalent. The afrobeats playing throughout blends with the colors, murals, and Asian decor upstairs. Our server was attentive throughout the meal, checking in with us and refilling our water. The ginger martini was refreshing and not overpowering, and my love ordered the Lychee martini which she enjoyed. The cod fish cakes were phenomenal, and the sweet chili sauce paired with it perfectly. We ordered the fish to share, and we both had plenty between us. I'm a huge fan of fried snapper, and this did not disappoint. The flavors jumped off the table, and it had a great crisp to it. The vegetables and plantains were cooked perfectly, and the jasmine rice and rice and peas were well seasoned. I enjoyed the festivals, as they were more flaky than I'm used to. I look forward to future visits here, as I'm sure it's a vibe in more crowded times. read more

LaMode bk is beautiful! The food is good. The drinks are strong. This place is too empty. Grab your friends. Bring a boo. They have ladies nights, karaoke nights, discount nights for city workers and a beautiful staff. The happy hour food is a must! Jerk tacos with chicken or shrimps, wings, escovitch bites. Careful that you don't bite down on a scotch bonnet pepper unawares because the spices here are HOTTT! Beautiful place. I can walk here from my home. I've been to LaMode bk twice this week.

Food was cold. Service was slow. We had to ask for water refills, and a RAT crawled on and scratched me and my partner's legs. It ran across the restaurant, multiple patrons leapt up and screamed. Servers and staff did nothing and still charged us full price with an 18% gratuity already added to the bill. Be careful when dining here. read more

My two favorite type of cuisine (Caribbean + Asian) in one place! The food is fire hands down. The Thai Chili tastes amazing and is a great combination with the Boneless Breaded orange chicken if you a sweet chili fein like me. They have the best bartenders in town I can never find a place that makes a great old fashion like them. It's two stories so there's plenty of space to be welcomed. Whether its date night, a night out with the fellas or girlies or simple solo night this is the perfect place to treat yourself. read more

I had a terrible experience, upon arrival the bartender was extremely pleasant providing us the expectation for a great meal, and we received the complete opposite. One plate took 45mins-1hr to arrive and the other NEVER CAME! All they had for us was excuses and I had to call and request to speak to a manager for them to explain why our food took so long and that all they could provide is a 15% discount and WHEN LIKE I SAID OUR FOOD NEVER CAME AND OTHER ONE TOOK A HOUR TO COME! Won't be returning honestly, will at least say the mocktails we had were great, but they were gone by the time our one plate came. 2/10. read more

My boyfriend and I went to this restaurant after going to the Brooklyn Museum, which is a seven minute drive away. Once we entered the restaurant there was Afrobeats playing in the background. You have the option between high top tables or smaller two seater tables near the mural. The upstairs seating is reservation only which is nice for events and birthday parties but a little warm. The ambience was festive and lively, but not too loud thankfully. The service was really great. Our waitress was friendly and attentive to ensure that we were OK and got what we needed in a timely manner. We ordered the codfish fitters for appetizers with ginger and lychee martinis to start. For the main course we got the stew fish with jasmine rice and rice and peas with a side of festivals and plantain. The codfish fritters were delicious and slightly spicy. I loved the dipping sauce that came with it that balanced the flavors. My Lychee martini was great and lasted throughout the whole meal. I only needed one which is what I love about Caribbean restaurants. You don't need many drinks one goes along way. The ginger martini was refreshing. I definitely recommend getting it. The main event was the fish that we shared between us. For me personally my favorites were the jasmine rice, vegetables and fish. The fish was perfectly seasoned with a little bit of crisp. Every bit tasted soo good! At the beginning I had to pause and just savor the seasoned goodness It paired well with the jasmine rice and vegetables, which included broccoli, onions, carrot strips, and cabbage. The festivals were my next favorite meal item. They were super sweet, but when you eat them with the fish the flavors balance out. I would definitely recommend coming here for date night or with friends. This restaurant serves quality food packed with flavor! The Vibe is fun and festive. You can have a conversation without overbearing music. read more

La'Mode has been on my list for a long time! The restaurant fuses Caribbean and Asian food and the flavors are there. I ordered so much food that I had leftovers for two days. The portion size makes the price worth it. La'Mode has an upstairs seating area and they play Caribbean music. My food recommendations: - Codfish fritters: good mix of spice and you get 5 fritters which I appreciated! - Fried Rice: has a mix of good veggies with good flavor. It was not super oily and the portion size was huge. I thought it could be an entree by itself. - Jerk chicken: if you like spice, that jerk sauce has it. Also, the jerk chicken tastes like someone made it on an outside grill. Very authentic. - Baked mac and cheese: tastes like it was made in someone's house and you can tell they use different cheeses to make it! The drinks are also delicious. We only had mocktails: Thai basil lemonade and the lychee Mojito. Both were delicious. A lot of the drinks have coconut in them so if you're a fan of coconut, this is a spot for you. Honestly, I'm trying to go through the whole menu because the food was so good so just go! The service did take a bit of time but the food and drinks were freshly made and prepared. read more

La'Mode is the perfect restaurant! From out of town & Jamaican, so glad I tried the food, everything was perfectly spiced like home. Amazing Atmosphere, the attention to detail from the designers is impeccable. Although not usually a kid place, my 2 boys LOVED and had 2 veggie side dishes, told me I need to get the recipe, haha! The band had them out of their seats dancing with everyone. There's a SECRET room for quiet date nights and special service. Went back for Sunday brunch. Amazing Mimosas, with fruit in the glass. They even gave my boy a special bowl of just mangoes . Anywhere that treats your family special is a win in my book!! Only got to have 1, but rare to find endless brunch mimosas for $20 anymore! read more
