Sunsplash - Oxtail rice peas - Caribbean Near Me - Orange, New Jersey

traveling back quarterly from California. This is my number one touchdown spot so delicious so fresh amazing customer service and you can see all your food.

Big up !!!! read more

Sunsplash - Stewed Oxtails Rice & peas with gravy Steamed Kale & Cabbage Pumpkin stew with okra and potatoes Deelish!!!! - Caribbean Near Me - Orange, New Jersey

This place use to have decent food but recently it seems like they changed cooks and maybe ownership as the quality has degraded significantly. The service is welcoming and friendly but the food taste bad. It doesn't taste like authentic jamaican at all. Appears they have new ppl on the kitchen. I've tried multiple things from there lately (oxtail, salmon etc) and it all doesn't taste good anymore. But what sparked the final straw for me is i ordered ackee and saltfish and it was extremely salty. Like inedible salty as if the person making it didnt know how ti make it and didnt soak the saltfish long enough. Sucks but this place is no longer it. read more

Food good, place small, customer friendly, but don't have reliable staff. Was sent to another place to get my roti skins and the person was nowhere to be found, so I just had curry goat in a plate. Will go back for my meal. read more

Way more food than I can eat in one sitting. Read the reviews and decided to stop here for a nice breakfast after the gym. As another person here mentioned, the fried plantains were decrepit. Over fried, rubbery and dense. As if made yesterday and reheated today. Akee and salt fish is nice, kinda creamy and not too salty. Callaloo balanced the akee nicely. Service was pleasant and prompt. My mom got the salt fish fritters and questioned why they gave her so many. We tasted them in the car and they were greasy, hard and cold. Not sure what time they were made... but it wasn't recently. Gave me instant indigestion. Overall, I would revisit but wouldn't go out of my way. I'd be open to trying a supper option. read more

Food is pretty good, just a little pricey for their portions. Their breakfast options go quick so try to get there early. Their smoothies are amazing, definitely recommend the #7 to everyone. read more

Food is always fresh. The smoothie and juice bar is absolutely amazing. It's wonderful combinations the people who make a smoothie and juices make them with stream care. It's probably the widest variety of freshly made and available Caribbean food I've seen in this area. read more

I ordered basic chicken soup. It looked weird. Then I ordered vegetable soup. It had black beans and dumplings. The seasoning was unrecognizable. The rice and peas had no coconut in it. After a long work day, I was very disappointed Service was too nice and friendly. That was a hint about the food! read more

Very disappointed and felt like the deception was not necessary as honesty is the best policy I was always thought. I purchase a snapper fish dinner for my wife to take to work and my receipt confirmed my order and purchase. when my wife sat down for the the fish was not a snapper but a parrot fish, my wife who doesn't eat red meat and loves snapper could tell the difference immediately . I had no defense for the restaurant as a mistake because parrot fish was not on the menu . unfortunately I will not be buying food at this restaurant anymore very disappointed read more

This is a great place if you want to have natural fresh juices. Green juices with various options. The food station is okay, nothing special, they have your normal Jamaican dishes and options. read more

I remember I used to come to this spot when I was younger so I wanted to try their Ital Stew (vegan). When I arrived I found parking nearby. I walked in to asked if they took credit card and the lady said yes. I ordered the ital stew, rice and peas, kale and fried dumpling. I also ordered a pink Ting and water and it came to a little over $12. When I got home I dug in and I liked the fried dumpling. The ital stew wasn't to my liking but I must say they gave me more than enough. I couldn't even finish it all. All in all I had an ok experience. read more

Delicious! Well seasoned with ample serving portions. Friendly staff, feels like home read more

This place is awesome how could I have passed it by for so long?? My bad y'all. I let my locals down passing this by and most importantly, my belly. Trinabago has shut down not leaving many Caribbean options on the Ave left. Truth is I was really craving trini-guyanese curry chicken and a buss up shot roti but stumbled into this place broken hearted. But trust and believe that was easily cured by the daunting smell of fresh baked patties and an array of Jamaican flavors. They have a menu that leaves nothing to be desired. Curry chicken is good and oxtail is tender and amazing. They have a juice bar option which is what really made me wish I'd found this earlier. read more

Sunsplash - Breakfast on the go..Kale spinach mango and apple. Yum - Caribbean Near Me - Orange, New Jersey

Food is excellent at this establishment. Nice friendly staff and a great place to have exotic smoothies with your meal!

The other ppl leaving good comments don't know anything about Jamaican food! For starters the jerk chicken taste like baked chicken, zero spice and zero jerk flavor, the rice and cabbage is okay but the plantains are ALWAYS dry and you won't even get the measly 2 pieces of plantains unless you ask! though it should be included in any platter. U can make better jerk chicken your self in the Oven with store bought sauce read more

Sunsplash - Large jerk chicken platter - Caribbean Near Me - Orange, New Jersey

I was doing laundry across the street and was hungry and decided to grab a quick bite from here. I ordered a beef patty and a drink from the juice bar. It definitely hit the spot. I definitely will be back to try the other food that's offered. Some things to be aware of: 1. It's small inside and ALOT of people are ordering so it can be a little crowded and hectic. 2. It's street parking and if you know anything about orange main street, you know it's horrible trying to find parking read more

I've noticed there's a few bad reviews on here and I'm honestly not sure why. This place has excellent food. Im not even from New Jersey, I'm a truck driver from upstate New York. Every time I make a run to orange, I ALWAYS make sure to stop here. Not to mention the people treat you like family. This place is an excellent class act food spot ! read more

I came here for take away because I was on my own for dinner on a weekday. Orange is not a typical town I would venture out but the yelp reviews especially from Fred L. had this place bookmarked. I was able to get parking right in front of the shop. There's not much of a dining option. The food is serves cafeteria style in to-go containers. The lady was very friendly and was patient enough to describe what they had to offer. I got the large ox tail stew with rice and peas and kale. I also got a chicken curry and beef patties for a dollar each. The large portion was plentiful and I had enough to eat for lunch the next day. I didnt try to juice bar. They were kinda busy with other customers. I didn't want to be that guy and hold up the line. Also, I ordered enough calories for three days. I will come back but I may bring a friend to watch my back. There is a credit card minimum. read more

Sunsplash - $15 for the large oxtail with rice and peas and kale. $1 each for beef patty and $1 for chicken curry Pattie. - Caribbean Near Me - Orange, New Jersey

I was in the mood for a good Jamaican breakfast and stumbled upon Sunsplash! The line was outside of the door, so my intuition lead me to the right place. I ordered the salt fish and ackee with fry dumplings, it was delicious! The food was so authentic and tasty, I couldn't finish it because they gave me such a large portion! I will definitely be going back, there's also a juice bar inside as well. Excited to get a healthy juice along with a hearty meal! read more

The food here is nice. I really enjoy the smoothies that they make. Service is quick and nice. This spot is a little small but it's not really a sit down and eat spot. More of a take out spot but the food is worth it. read more

Just left this establishment and was beyond disappointed. The food quality is very poor. Brown stew was more like tan boiled chicken....no flavor and no color with a watery soup because it couldnt have been gravy....Plantains were so dry like they were cooked in the morning and sat all day. Can definitely tell the difference...there isnt even steam on the windows or long lines....very dissatisfied....food went in the trash!....sad to see this spot go down hill. read more

FIRST OF ALL, you can smell the aromas of food before you enter dis place.

East Orange is a food dessert where I can rarely find something that isn't fast food or a chicken shack. Sunsplash is my go-to spot for a bite when I'm in the area! I like that you can go light or heavy here with their food items. I always get the "beet street" from the smoothie/juice bar and a veggie or spinach patty. Filling and under $10. I also like the hot food when I'm craving some Caribbean food. Good selection, fast, and the prices are reasonable (even for the oxtail). The people are nice and it seems family owned and operated. Check it out! read more

Food is good ,staff is polite helpful and not always standing around like some places...the food trays stay filled with fresh food and they have a juice bar in the store as well so you can have a healthy juice drink of many kind to go along with the good food you just ordered the prices are reasonable and the service is great...I reccomend this spot to the fullest... read more

Jerk chicken is pretty good. It is seasoned very well. The brown stew chicken is also good. The place can get very crowded very fast, which can be a challenging in ordering in such a small place. Other than that, I enjoy this place. read more

Just had a fantastic lunch from here. The food is in serving trays behind the counter, and I didn't see any menus, so I was unsure what I was getting. I saw what looked like a fish stew and asked what it was. It was ackee with saltfish and in a second tray next to it ackee with (non-salt) fish, as it was explained to me. I got a little of both, with the beans and rice and the kale. It was excellent! Everything was full of flavor and texture. Both the crunchy vegetables in the ackee stew and the kale went great with the creamy texture of ackee and fish. Topped it off with a few delicious sweet plantains. Plenty left over for later too as they filled an entire container to the top. Can't wait to go back and try some of their other stuff. read more

They never disappoint. I usually get the jerk salmon and it's always good. The food is always fresh and warm. I also really enjoy their veggie patties and smoothies. read more

Sunsplash - Jerk salmon, rice and peas, cabbage - Caribbean Near Me - Orange, New Jersey

Went here today around 345 PM to get some food. After I ordered the food, I went to the other section where they make the punches, etc. I ordered. Here goes the girl behind the counter, "Miss you said the banana punch, right?" I answered yes. Here goes her friend on the other side of the counter: "Sir!" It was very obvious that she was referring to me. It's so sad that some of these homophobic Jamaicans fail to realize that they are not in their country. What is sad is that the girl behind the counter did not even correct her. I don't support homophobic businesses, and wont be returning. I have included a photo of the person who made the offensive remark. I am also Trinidadian, and understood everything they said. read more

Tried the brown stew chicken with rice and peas and they were both amazing but the kale was outstanding. Delicious food. And had a drink from the juice bar as well very tasty. Staff was friendly and always smiling. read more

I might not have to drive to BK or BX anymore! No Jamaican spot jokes here my friend.... Food wasn't sold out and flavors were on point! Get the oxtails, curry goat or beef party's. Ohh yea and they offer Kale incase you don't want cabbage. The staff is cool and witty. I believe there's something for everyone here. You can get bakery items, fresh juices and of course your main dishes! Everything was so good, I actually made 2 food runs in 1 day here. My dish was the oxtails, peas and rice, kale and sweet plantains. Your options are small, medium and large. Boy lemme tell you, the chef spiced and seasoned that oxtail stew very well. I devoured it with precision, you would've thought I was archeologist discovering bones! The rest of the fam enjoyed their meals as well. It felt like everything was gone in 60 seconds and everyone was greedy regarding sharing, but in all honesty - the food was just that darn good! I will most definitely return when that Caribbean craving hits! It's more of takeout spot so be ready to order and rush home. Enjoy y'all! read more
