I recently dined there with friends, some of them not too familiar with this style of food, and they all loved it! We started with a Wonton Soup that was packed with wontons and vegetables. That was followed by the Cabana Combo Platter that included lots of tasty items - Spring Rolls, Shrimp Rolls, Chicken Wontons, Shrimp Wontons, Onion Rings, and Fries. Next, we had the Basha Fish; Cabana Mixed Vegetables; and Curry Goat with Dahlpuri; the very popular Cabana Fried Rice with Fried Chicken on Top; and Singapore Noodles. It was all so good and we wanted more, so we added their Calamari, and Lo-Wontons. It was all delicious! Caribbean Cabana is a cozy spot that seems to have a lot of regular customers who were there cheering on the Blue Jays to another victory. If you're looking for a friendly spot with good food, check them out at McCowan and Denison in Markham. Don't miss their weekday lunch specials, starting at only $7.99!

It takes over from where Soca Palace used to be. This eatery is steps away from my go-to pharmacy and is next to National Bank in a plaza that takes me seven minutes to get to by car. Caribbean Cabana specializes in Guyanese-style Chinese food. It offers 100% halal food and is fully LLBO-licensed. We had quite the feast: - Cabana wonton soup - Curry goat with roti - Cabana fried rice - Cabana combo (appetizers) - Singapore Noodles - Basha (fish - spicy) - Cabana mixed veggies - Calamari - Lo-wontons We asked for water and got a carafe that had a yellow tint. We joked that it looked like urine. Luckily, it wasn't. I asked the same nice woman for a refill on the water. The carafe only filled four glasses out of the seven. It was a busy afternoon thanks to a Toronto Blue Jays game being broadcast while we were there. We eventually got the refill and were content. The wonton soup was full of veggies and wontons in a tasty broth. We got the Cabana combo, which featured spring rolls, fried wontons, fries, and onion rings. It was perfect for snacking and sharing! We continued our fry fest with calamari that was done to perfection. It was seasoning perfectly with none of that rubbery nonsense. It was my first time having lo-wontons. They were unique and now my favourite way to enjoy wontons in a light soy-based sauce with lots of green onion. The curry goat was amazing. The goat was flavourful and tender. The roti was so yummy. I dipped it in the curry. It was also yummy to eat on its own. The singaporian noodles were delicious. I loved the veggies, shrimp, and chicken mixed in with perfectly cooked vermicelli and the best sauce. Basha was excellent. Fried fish with a spicy kick. Not crazy. Highly flavourful with flaky fish, lightly battered, but super crispy and tender. Yum! Say yes to bell peppers and onions. I devoured the Cabana mixed veggies. This place does broccoli so well. Crunchy. Yummy. We ended up doing the holy protein trinity of beef, chicken, and shrimp. The veggies balanced our proteins out nicely. If you love chicken, you must try the Cabana fried rice. You get succulent chicken with crispy skin on top of the best fried rice. So good! We had some food left over. A couple of friends got to bring them home.6) This place has lunch specials at decent prices. I need to take advantage of them. The specials start at $7.99. Such a steal! I didn't use the washroom, but a couple of my friends did. You need a key to use it. I had a great time enjoying yummy food with cool friends. I hope to do it again soon or grab a lunch special.

I normally don't eat goat, but I live too far away to exchange it, so I gave it a try. The meat was pretty tough and lacked flavour. The jerk chicken wings were also extremely salty and difficult to finish. With how rich and salty everything was, I think coleslaw or something fresh would have helped balance the meal. Instead, it came with vegetables. The rice and peas were okay. Overall, I couldn't finish most of the food. Getting the wrong order was disappointing, and the seasoning and texture made the experience worse.

I'm not usually a fan of Caribbean food, so I wasn't expecting much going in, but we all loved our meals. I ordered the shrimp bowl, and it was hands down the best Caribbean food I've ever had, even though I haven't tried too many Caribbean restaurants. The ambience felt more like a fast-food chain, so I wasn't expecting the food quality to be anything special. However, the restaurant was very clean, which made it a comfortable place to sit down and enjoy our meals. What really stood out was the customer service. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, especially when I wasn't sure which toppings to choose. They offered recommendations and even let us sample some of the food to make sure the spice level wasn't too much for us. They also kindly provided plates when they found out we had brought a birthday cake to celebrate. Overall, Scotty Bons exceeded my expectations! The food was delicious, the restaurant was clean, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Even as someone who doesn't usually eat Caribbean food, I'd happily come back again. Highly recommend giving their shrimp bowl a try!

All of the oxtail shredded meat, the cheese, the slaw, and the patty all perfectly come together into a very hearty meal. For its price, it is very filling and extremely tasty. The other thing we had was the Large Jerk Chicken meal. The Jerk Chicken was how I personally would want it. Not too hot, not too salty, not burnt, and spiced just right. The rice & beans proportion to the protein was just a little more than what I would prefer, but it is not a big issue. There was also a piece of bread that we had along with the meal which I enjoyed having. It was tasy and soft bread that perfectly acts to refresh the palate so we can go for another bite out of the Jerk Chicken or the Oxtail patty. What was a little letdown was that the place was a little small and not really primarily setup to accommodate a lot of indoor dining. There was no washroom or at least a place to wash hands. Service was also just alright. It was not bad, but just not among the best service standards that I know. You would need to come in with a lot of patience in waiting to order and waiting for the food to be ready to serve. Between taking orders, the person over the counter would also be occasionally be on the phone answering call inquiries.

P Jay's patties are delicate soft pastry encasing melty oxtail sauce flavoured spicy beef. Warden Station Patties, who? The first time I had these patties, it was 5 minutes before closing time. I made the mistake of only ordering one, so I had to wait till the next day to pick up a dozen. You have to eat them fresh because they won't be the same the next day. The first time I tried the jerk pork it was amazing, second time it was kind of dry. The oxtail is fine, the portion is a bit on the small side but with all the rice they give you, it's still a filling dish. The rice is super extra almost-burn-your-hands hot every time so be careful. The vegetables are hit and miss. I would probably stick to the patties for P Jays. The plaza is tiny but there's always plenty of parking. P Jay's is hidden in the hallway that runs right through the middle of it. Take-out only: there is no seating here, you order your food, and you eat it somewhere else. Cash only, there is no ATM, so come prepared.

The eggs were made just right and they gave ample servings of ham. Nice balance. LM17 - Foong Shing Dumpling Noodle (3 pcs) also comes with your choice of drink. Milk tea for the win. Sugar is provided at the table to sweeten the tea yourself which I prefer to do. Next we chose from the Signature Soup Noodles Menu. FN28 - Special Fish Soup Rice Vermicelli Fish slices, fish balls, fish tofu & dace fish cakes. We substituted rice vermicelli with yellow wonton noodles to see if it was better but would prefer to go with vermicelli. The soup came with cilantro, green onions, bean sprouts, in a very natural tasting, rich filling peppery yet sweet fish broth. A nice alternative to the traditional classic soups. For dessert we shared Hong Kong-style French Toast. TB03 - Chunky French Toast Bites. The French toast bread was so light and fluffy, cut into towering square pieces, held together with a smudge of peanut butter and drizzled with just the right amount of sweet condensed milk.

Not a smile was once seen from any of the serve staff. The food was okay with portions being smaller than what I remember it to be and prices higher than what a usual HK cafe should be as well. Our chicken instant noodle with green onion and ginger was drowning in A LOT of oil - although tasty, it was not pleasant to eat since it was so greasy. Overall, our party of 8 found the entire meal to be super expensive for the food quality and options. It was quite a hefty bill tbh. Fortunately, after I visited I did see that they posted online that they are under new management and have changes to their business. So hope they rejig their food, pricing and service.
