I paid too much money for the quality of food that I received. This place used to be my favorite Golden Krust location, but not anymore. I bought 2 oxtails dinners and they were HORRIBLE! I don't know if they got a new chef or they get their oxtails from a different company now, but whichever it is, it's not worth the money that I paid. I traveled far just to go to this particular restaurant. The 1st day I got home and we started to eat our food we could not continue eating it. The oxtails were very tough and dry, they weren't edible at all, even the rice and peas tasted different. I called the restaurant to tell them about my experience and the person I spoke to was very nice about the situation. She said she would give the info to the boss and they would call me soon, but make sure I keep the receipt. 3 days passed by and nobody ever called me back, so I decided to take that journey and go in person. I gave my receipt and explained what happened, it took a few minutes for them to call the boss for a decision. So the guy (not so friendly) started to make 2 of the same dinners that I had an issue with. I get home (mind you I traveled far), the oxtails were a little bit softer but the taste and the texture was just HORRIBLE, again. Their oxtails are definitely NOT the same anymore. Different texture and taste and they were filled with oil, even the fat on the meat was different, very rubbery like, definitely shouldn't be eaten. It tastes like the recipe has completely changed but for the worse. This was my go to restaurant even from a distance, but not anymore. The prices went up a few years ago and you still get the same amount of meat (not fair), but I was still a loyal customer. I didn't bother to call again because what's the point? I had had enough.. I won't be returning, I'm better off making my own...

If I could give zero stars, I would! Service was slow. Wanted to weigh my meal but didn’t know the cost per pound. Then, only gave three pieces of cut up chicken - not a whole leg/thigh with a whole heap of rice for a medium order. Chicken was dry. This Golden Krust was a complete disappointment. Better off going to a local Jamaican restaurant. The mom and pops will take care of you - quality and quantity wise. Support small businesses!

Stopped in to dine with my brother, visiting me from out of town.
Ordered curry chicken, brown rice with peas, and cabbage.
Unbeknowest to my my brother had dined an hour before meeting me. Nevertheless, he opted for a beef patty.
The food was not as delicious as the last time, but I was happy, nonetheless, and glad to support this particular establishment.
We were serviced by Ms. Denise. A lovely representative, and I promised her that I would draft a review of my experience ?
There was also a gentleman server, and he was equally as pleasant and charming as Ms. Denise.
I look forward to my next visit to Gokden Crust and will try the jersey chicken!
Until then, take care and thank you to the Golden Crust Team ?

The best GC in NYC! I do NOT just give out 5 stars... this spot has been a staple in our community for as long as I can remember. The food quality has remained consistently above the bar, fresh and authentic. The service isn't like your stereotypical "wi nah hav dat".. they actually value customer service, and it shows. Not only my personal experience but the patience I've observed them maintain while dealing with difficult customers is noteworthy. You can tell the owner has standards, and it's definitely from the top-down. Had to take the time to big yall up!

At last I was happy golden crust is in my neighborhood. Newly renovated. I lived in the neighborhood for more than 40 years. I visited the establishment yesterday after work. I had my 2 wheel scooter with me. I left it at the side in the front and approached the counter. The lady behind the counter screamed and told me I had to take my scooter out. I alerted if I left it outside someone can steal it. The lady had a horrible look and told me she did not want the scooter inside. We are all adults in the room. There is a certain way to speak with customers. I support black owned businesses. In this instance black people don’t know how to treat other minorities. This was such a turn off. I wrote this soo u as a reader can see where I am coming from.
