I chose this restaurant because I was feeling for some caribbean food. So I decided to order a fry chicken and a jerk chicken both with Rice & peas. When I got the food it looked OK, but I noticed the rice looked a bit different. When I started eating, I noticed they had used Basmati Rice to make the rice & peas, which I did not enjoy. I just don't find the flavor and aroma of basmati rice goes well with rice & peas as the basmati flavor over powers the coconut milk used in making rice & peas and in my honest opinion basmati rice does not go well with every dish. Certain meats and flavors does not compliment it well.
I noticed the new tend of few other caribbean rest doing this, and I don't like it. Please use the traditional way of making rice & peas or give customers the option to choose

Hello everyone I had never done this but I have to do it. Please DO NOT Order from this restaurant. I was so excited to order from here thinking the quality would be the same as other sunrise restaurant I had been to in the past but to my surprise this didn’t meet the expectations. I Ordered just simple chicken soup and the liquid in the soup was super thick you could tell it’s from couple days old. The duping were just 2 inside and extremely soggy. The chicken was 1 piece and was bone barely cover in meat. I AM REALLY UPSET!! Don’t waste your money I beg of you this is not worth it. I paid $18.09 on Uber eats. My money was refunded because I had to sent couple picture to uber so I could get my refund. This is 2025 and I can’t believe restaurant like this still serve garbage. I phone the restaurant I spoke to girl in charge her name is CHAN. She told me that’s what the owner gave her when she started earlier to serve customers. You could tell from her voice that she knew it wasn’t good to serve. For her to say that’s what the owner gave her to serve I know right she knew the food wasn’t good to serve she was just following her Boss instructions. I am Waiting for them to give me a call I left my number.

Great experience for breakfast today ordering ackee and saltfish and fried dumpling! Good portion size and friendly customer service with a smile from the new management. I really appreciate the ample seating for dining in as some other locations do not have this.

Came here once and will never go back.
Terrible service and food was bland. Ordered jerk chicken and tasted nowhere close to the jerk chicken from other places.

My husband is doing a circuit taste testing Caribbean Roti in the Durham and Surrounding Areas. This is what he had to say: Sunrise used to be "THE PLACE" to go - How unfortunate everything was terrible. The food sucked! It was thrown together, looked like slop, tasted worse! So disappointing!!
Food is disgusting just go see the review of the oxtail on the famous tik tok how bad it location is owned by lance davenport who also does not pay his staff members I witnessed protest at many locations online please don’t support this business

I go to sunrise because it’s the Jamaican/ Caribbean spot near my house and I like to support my fellow countrymen and the local businesses in my area. Tbh I’m really not a fan of how they use basmati rice in stead of regular rice. It really takes away from the authenticity of our food.
I had a bad experience tonight using the” too good to go “ app. I was feeling sick so I decided to go to sunrise and get some nice home style Jamaican soup , while I was there I decided to also order a “good to go” surprise bag. The app promises a surprise bag for with the value of $24 for only $7.99. This bag is supposed to contain a variety of the end of day food that was not sold . I walked in and there was lots of food still not sold so I expected my variety surprise bag to be good. Usually at the end of the night there’s not much left , but tonight there was a ton of unsold food(bbq chicken , fried chicken , jerk chicken, breakfast items like ackeee and salt fish, callaloo, fried dumplin. ) When I show the lady working that I was here to pick up the food to go she acted like she had no idea what I was talking about. I explained to her what it’s was and waited for her to put my order together in addition to the “good to go I also bought two soups (one of each flavour). She packed my bag and I went home trusting that my “good to go” would be good. When I got home I realized my “surprise bag of end of day items containing a variety of food “ was one leg of jerk chicken and white rice. I immediately turned around and went back to the store. I explained that there must’ve been a mistake or she must’ve misunderstood . She proceeded to argue with me and tell me that I didn’t know what I was talking about regarding the app when I’ve use it several times at other stores. After a lengthy argument she decided to call her boss and wake her up out her sleep. Her boss proceeded to to tell her that she should be offering a value meal and left over items in addition. She added one more small pc of chicken and dumplin and handed it to me.
I left feeling ripped off and disrespected. No apology given or anything to make the situation better. The point of the app is that customers are getting day old food and sacrificing a bit of quality to get a large portion and so the food doesn’t go to waste. I feel like I spent the same money I would’ve spent for a lunch time chicken special but on food that was even fresh.
My suggestion is that the owner explains to there staff what the “good to go “ app is about and maybe look into it herself and if sunrise does not want to be apart of it and honour its conditions they should remove themselves.
Whether I return to this restaurant and continue to support it will really depend on how they handle this situation.
Thank you for your response. Due to the nature of your response I will not be returning.

Order Uber Eats. It was a buy one get one free promo. They didn’t provide the second coleslaw and instead of receiving 2 jerk chicken meals. I got 1 jerk and 1 fried chicken which we hate! So frustrating!

Poor service. Had to ask multiple times what came with the combo for the server to even understand what I was asking. Didn’t even ask for here or to go and just put it in a bag. I only got a fork for jerk chicken, not even a knife. When I went to ask for one and the person was having a whole conversation with another customer. Finally after looking for 5 minutes they didn’t even have a knife. Tell me what kind of restaurant doesn’t have a knife. Never coming here again
