Today was my first time here The music in the store was way too loud I ordered fried rice and chicken it was okay I also ordered curry goat and lamb combo The meat was not tender at all and the rice was plain no taste The portions were good but for the amount of money they're asking for you would think the food would taste a lot better and the meat would be tender so my first time coming here wasn't all that great

Good chinese fry rice and chicken, Maybe they can do better with the fry chicken because it was too dry.
Decided to try the Chinese chicken fried rice again (05/24/25).
It was horrible, The chicken was so dry.
They need to give fresh food not chicken that was cooked god knows when.
It's got worst from when I buy the last time.
Not again

Food is good but stop cutting corners. I been buying food from you for over a year now and it was always delicious. But this last time I got dried up chicken, two dry legs, and a thigh cut in half, in all three of my food. Stop cutting corners. It only ruined your reputation. You're good the way you do things. Be who you are!

I Love this place
As a American woman of color sometimes when you go to Caribbean restaurants the people make you feel uncomfortable like we are not supposed to be there or eating their food. But that's such a crazy way to think first of all , food is universal language , and if you travel , you eat a lot of different food. Secondly, most people would want people to patronize their establishments.That's how you're going to make your money. I always feel comfortable coming here and my food is always amazing.And customer service is always great. Thank you

I was a little disappointed with the food the chicken curry was very oily and the stew fish has no taste we had to throw the food away, Please guys we're the customers spending our money in your establishment.

Your service is horrible. Be aware apparently there is a difference in chinese fried rice and fried rice from this place. When I called to order the young lady said the difference is egg. Food comes out with 3 pices of chicken and plain fired rice with no sauce or vegetables. Appently there is much more of a difference than just eggs. Typically when you call a west indian restaurant to order fried rice you specify chicken, beef, shrimp etc never chinese or regular lol. When I asked how we can correct this the girl said nothing can be done I already paid. I was willing to pay the difference BTW. NEVER AGAIN...I will drive to queens if I have to.
