Soul Food Restaurants near Sunnyside, NY

“This restaurant is almost as fast as any fast food restaurant. Service is 10/10
As soon as you arrive staff is taking your order and with in minutes your food arrive. Not even McDonald's is as fast as them🤣 . Food is 10/10 i got a wantan soup, is very tasty, comes with a quail egg and lots of wantan. Chicken and special Aeropuerto are delicious, lots of meet, good portion.

The only thing to improve is the ROCOTO.
This is the only restaurant they charge you for spicy sauce, $2 not expensive but is very watery and very small. I understand rocoto is expensive here but 😒 make it more consistent, or charge for a refill.

Anyways, would I come come back ? Yes definitely“

The JD turkey wings, Mac & Cheese, Cabbage and yams!! And don’t forget the potato salad. We LOVED EVERYTHING. The entire staff was friendly and professional. We will be back. It was five of us and we had the rib, chicken, turkey wings, …All cooked to perfection!“

“Melba's has been on my bucket list for quite a while and I finally got to mark it off! It was all that I thought it would be and more! Our server, Brian, was phenomenal! The experience and food were priceless!“

“I ordered the turkey wings , collard greens, and Mac and cheese. I also got sweet potatoes , which was extra. I also got a red velvet cake. I was greeted as soon as I came in to pick up my order. Food was wrapped and packaged nicely. Overall the food was good. The cornbread I didn't care for. The red velvet was soft and moist. And not overly sweet. I didn't realize the frosting had nuts, which I wasn't crazy about. Overall, I would definitely come back.“

“Just an Asian guy commenting. Been to Austin, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, Atalanta, and this place is up there in terms of flavor and texture. Wings are amazing. So surprised of wings, hit the spot. Mac and collard greens will satisfy as well. But wings are 🫰🏼🫰🏼“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Vera's, and it truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the warm, inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring every detail of our experience was perfect. The highlight was the food. The barbecue chicken and sweet ribs were savory on the outside and juicy on the inside—mouthwatering. The collard greens and cabbage were seasoned to perfection. What I appreciated most was the authentic soul food flavor that reminded me of home. Great care and tradition are poured into every dish. Whether you're a longtime fan of soul food or trying it for the first time, Vera's is a must-visit. I’ll be returning soon! I highly recommend it for anyone craving hearty, flavorful soul food in a cozy setting.“

“I had my 48 Birthday Dinner here with family and we all had a great time , food was amazing , DJ was rocking service was great and we had drinks& hookah 10 out of 10 I highly recommend 💪🏾“

“I'm really impressed for my first time dining here. The food arrived hot, fresh, and in ideal portions. I was full all day after lunch! Without a doubt, I'll be back soon to sample more of the menu!“

“Do a walk-in during weekday morning/breakfast hours - we did not have any wait and got to see the Chef Ok Dongsik too!

Dweji gomtang was outstanding. I can eat this every day if I could.

Kimchi mandoos were really good. - how thin the skin was but held all the filling was impressive. They steam them from frozen but still taste super fresh!

When I come back next time, I don't know if I need to get the kimchi mandoos again but the dweji gomtang 🤌🤌🤌“

“Nice place Relaxed 25 and older spot this the first time I been here and I had a not so nice experience I went to move my car and had a hard time getting back in due to security stating it was too crowded but the bar had my card with an open tab after that 15 min wait to close my tab and get my card I didn't want to stay I left“

“Hands down best soul food spot in NYC“

“The food is locally sourced daily. They offer 4/5 delicious entrees with delectable sides. Service was warm & attentive. Can't wait to return!!!“

“I was in the mood for GOOD soul food last weekend. I went in my Yelp app and realized there weren't much options close to Flatbush area. I drove to Katie O Soul and liked there was a short line and DJ outside. One window opened a wonderful young lady asked if I have eaten there before and I said no.
I love the tiny sample cups and spoons because you try before you buy and know exactly what to order once you get to the cashier. The frozen pina colada was super creamy and perfect amount of sweetness. The Mac and cheese and candied yams were a perfect combo for me. The fried chicken wings were well seasoned like someone granny made it.
Be prepared to wake because I was there over 10 mins and my food was piping hot like the chicken was just fried. I will definitely be back for the customer service and food.

I also love any donations (they don't accept tips) the team claps and announce to the crowd and all proceeds provide FREE home cooked meals to people in need.“

“Great well seasoned food.“

“It was Sunday and I always cook for my elderly dad and myself but this Sunday I was not in the mood to be over a hot stove. I went on the internet and saw rave reviews about Kadyah Soul and told myself I would give it a try. I ordered the Turkey Wings for Dad and Jerk Chicken for myself...long story short...It was the best ordered food I ever had and my dad was SUPER pleased and he is hard to please! I am ordering very soon again!“

“I wish we had this in Miami. The food was excellent and flavorful. I had the hummus and chicken shawarma. Very large portions. The chicken was seasoned perfectly. The service was also great. I like that it’s across from the park so you can people watch. Thank you!“

“The hospitality is always on point when I dine there. The food is delicious. A nice small intimate setting. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.“

“A standout meal at Rabbit’s Kitchen & Waffle in Harlem. The Old-School Chicken Sandwich was exceptional—the chicken was beautifully seasoned, flavorful, and cooked fresh right in front of me. The whole-wheat bread paired perfectly with it.

The sweet potato salad and collard greens with smoked turkey neck were equally flavorful and tasted genuinely homemade. What really impressed me was Chef Devin’s attention to freshness
he literally picked fresh basil from the plant to finish the dish. That small detail says a lot about the care that goes into the food.

Fresh ingredients, great seasoning, and food made with genuine passion. A real gem in Harlem.
I’ll definitely be back.“

“this place simply has the best tasting food in the neighborhood. their baked salmon (w lemon butter sauce), cilantro lime rice and collards are better than most hip brunch joints in posh places. doesn't hurt the staff are cool

Thanks Benny!!“

“Great atmosphere, awesome music, prompt service, friendly staff and outstanding cuisine !!!“

“Ultimate Krave absolutely lived up to the name! My in-laws are Puerto Rican and Trinidadian, so trust me I come with high Caribbean-food standards. The food was flavorful, delicious, and made with love, and the service was just as amazing. Everyone was warm, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Great food, great energy, we will definitely be back! 🌴❤“

“A group of friends and myself showed up towards the end of the night and were still happily served by Ne, who helped us through the menu and brought all of our food with ease. I had the lemonade which was amazing, as well as the catfish (with rice and mac and cheese). As someone from the South (texas) I had never had such good soul food. If you do not try anything else here I beg you to get the cornbread. It changed my life.“

“Yes …. Hunty… the food was delicious. The food cost goes by weight. I bought two white containers. Filled with collard greens, jerk chicken macaroni cheese rice and black eyed peas honey wings fried chicken steamed broccoli, turkey wings, beef ribs oxtails Rasta pasta which had a nice spice to it. The turkey wings was okay a little too much salt to me but was still good. The sorrel was also good as well and the steamed vegetables was also executed well also. No soft vegetables. Macaroni and cheese was good also. No complaints from me. You must put gloves on. Which I love places like this. Definitely a great food place . I’m glad I stopped by as a first timer. I will be back..happy eating“

“A Chelsea market classic 👌🏾 some of the best oxtail and jerk in NYC 😋 Staff is super kind and service is quick, you can sit down to have a red stripe or sorrel with your meal and they treat you like family ✊🏾“

“One of the few places open during the pandemic April 2020. My #1 go to after my shift at the hospital. Best wangs in NYC.“

“This spot is new to the block according to the owner which was very nice. For a spot that just came in, the food was delicious I must admit, there wasn’t much we could pick from the menu because they were still getting things together but I got chicken, macaroni and cheese inside a craved out pineapple. Yummy… the service was laggy however it’s clear they were trying which made the process feel promising. I believe within a year or 2 this spot is going to be poppin off something nice. Drinks were ok!“

“I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service was equally impressive: attentive, friendly, and fast without being rushed. Highly recommend and definitely coming back!“

“My cousin Dana told me about this place! It’s by far the best seafood I’ve tasted. The catfish, whiting and the shrimps were delicious. Now for the COLLARD GREENS! Off the hook. The best green I’ve tasted in years. I’ve been going once a week.“

“My best friend and I visited Essence Bar and Grill yesterday (8/8/26). We wanted to grab a bite to eat and enjoy some music so I suggested this place since we hadn’t visited in years.

Our server was amazing and knowledgeable about all of the menu items. She has a wonderful personality and we enjoyed our conversation with her.

She suggested a few menu items and we both decided to order two side orders of yams along with our orders of buffalo wings & fries and a fish, shrimp and fries basket.

The temperature of the food when served was good and the food was delicious. We are both ready to go back for another meal because our experience was great.“

“The meal exceeded what I thought possible in a restaurant. You'll appreciate their original vision. Their commitment appears in both meal quality and staff behavior. All team members are genuinely welcoming. I'll visit this place again.“

“The food was excellent. Thank you Earl. I will be back.“

“the restaurant says (poster outside) it accepts EBT card and also when we asked the staffs they said the same too. but when we ordered the food the staff said they dont accept EBT card, they only accept cash. Liar“
