This place had a very upscale feel to it, and seems like it would be a go-to for date night or any other situation that warrants a romantic ambiance. Location: The location was a tad difficult to find; they are in a plaza across from a Shell gas station; however, my GPS sent me to a residential area when using the address, as provided on Yelp, and by the restaurant itself, but the search is well worth it. The portions are more than generous, especially given the cost of food these days. And I mean that is not to mention the flavour; it's as if a savour bomb went off in my mouth. I enjoyed every last bite, and needed to use a fork and knife that is how big it is...

I recently went to Calypso Queen in Whitby for lunch with a friend. They specialize in Guyanese…read morestyle Chinese food. Between the two of us, we ordered much more than we could eat, just to try the food. We had Beef with Broccoli, Singapore Noodles, Roast Duck, and Ginger Green Onion Chicken. Both the beef and chicken dishes were really good. The noodle dish could have used a touch more curry for our liking but it still tasted good. The duck was obviously reheated. The flavour was decent but the texture was a little off. Overall, the food at this place was pretty good. So were the prices and service. We'll be back! PS - They have some great weekday lunch specials for only $8.99 each, including rice.

I recognize the owner who used to manage and work at a different Hakka restaurant a few years back. We ordered takeout there is lunch specials at $8.50 which includes 2 small veggie spring rolls. You can add a pop for $1, upgrade to veggie fried rice $2.50, chicken fried rice $2.75, veggie chowmein $3.00, and chicken chowmein $3.25. Option to add 1 chicken leg or 4 chicken wings or 3 chicken balls for $3.25. Extra Bbq sauce, honey garlic sauce, and sweet and sour sauce $1.25. The owner told me she's been open for 8 months now. I love supporting local businesses especially when they work hard to provide quality food at very reasonable prices. I ordered the chili chicken on steamed rice and sweet and sour chicken. The chili chicken is deep fried and then stir fried in their chili sauce and onions. The heat level was tolerable and the seasoning was just right. The sweet and sour chicken also had deep fried boneless chicken thigh meat and covered in the ultra red sweet and sour sauce. I was so hungry and wasnt able to take pictures of the food. Portion wise, I would say it's fair for the price you pay however I would have liked just a little more chicken in each lunch special. The restaurant is fully licensed and serves beer and alcohol. The dining area has a nice warm caribbean decor. I will try to come next time and dine in because the food is more enjoyable when consumed right away. Overall, I recommend this place if you're looking for some caribbean, Hakka, and Guyanese flavours. Will try other items on the menu like the Lo-mein, Special chicken (fried chicken on top) chowmein, Pepper shrimp chowmein.

With guests visiting from out of town, plus a belated birthday celebration, the stars finally aligned. The centerpieces of our feast were Lobster with Ginger and Green Onion and Dungeness Crab with Ginger and Green Onion. These dishes were a tremendous deal at CDN$34.95 for two crabs and two lobsters. They tasted great! Other seafood dishes included Sweet and Sour Fish, and Pepper Shrimps, with the Cantonese Chow Mein having some seafood. We also had their Honey Garlic Wings, and Alex Chicken with Fried Rice. Beverages included Mango Juice, Shirley Temple, and pop. Everybody really enjoyed the food and my uncle is already planning his next visit, with a group of his friends.

One of my friends had been here before and recommended that we give Guyanese Chinese cuisine a try. I was game! I had no problem finding the eatery. It's in a small plaza with Grillies next door. I actually parked in front of Grillies and walked over to Caribbean Heat. The eatery was busy for a Sunday afternoon. It was a good sign. My friends and I ordered a ton of food, to the point where we had to get boxes to take home the damage that we had done... haha! We ordered these items: - Beef short ribs - Special chicken fried rice - Alex chicken with veggie fried rice - Goat curry with roti - Crabs in spicy garlic sauce - Cantonese chow mein - BBQ duck (half) - Pepper shrimp - Mixed vegetables - Hot and sour soup - Seafood soup - Sweet and sour basa - Lobster with ginger and green onion This eatery has a number of specials. We took advantage of most, except for the wings. The specials: - Pepper Shrimp - $8.99 for 15 pieces - Half-priced chicken Wings - Bucket of five beers for $29.99 - Two lobster or crabs for $34.95 - Alex chicken with veggie fried rice (lunch special) - $12.95 before tax Alex chicken is the chef's special. I don't know who Alex is. However, the dish consists of boneless chicken that's stir-fried with lots of onions and spices. It does have a bit of heat to make it a wonderful dish. The veggie fried rice that accompanied the chicken was delicious, too. I loved everything that we ate and will note some highlights: - The sweet and sour basa was excellent. The fish was flaky and boneless, and the flavours were perfect. - The lobster with ginger and green onion was fantastic. One friend was allergic to shellfish, but risked it because this dish was so good. I'm guessing that he has a mild allergy because he's fine. - The goat curry was excellent. Not gamey. Tender. It came with roti on the side that I enjoyed sopping up the sauce with it. - The BBQ duck was yummy. I haven't had duck in a long time. It was tender and I loved the skin. - The pepper shrimp were gigantic! I loved how tasty this dish was. It had lots of green bell peppers and onions that I enjoyed with the shell-on shrimp. I used the washroom a couple of times during our three-hour stay. It was clean. No complaints! We had a terrific time chatting, enjoying one another's company, and feasting on a bunch of scrumptious dishes. The menu had fried banga Mary as an appetizer. I'd like to try this dish that shares my first name. I'll be back for more when I'm in the area. (172)

After ordering the large jerk chicken entree, I noticed the portion size was small in comparison to other caribbean spots. Their large takeout box was equivalent to a small or even a regular box at almost every other place. Charging $16 is insane. Food was mediocre, the jerk chicken was decent and rice were ok as well, in my opinion was under seasoned and had little spice. The only thing that carried the food was their gravy which was actually quite nice.

I received a small serving of ackee & saltfish, three dumplings, and a tiny half-cup of provisions. The flavors were good, but the value is not. The serving was so conservative that it barely felt like a complete meal, especially for the price. I was left dissatisfied and still hungry. It's hard to recommend when you get so little for your money.
