Bidra med feedbackI'd been wanting to try this place for a while, but everytime we drove by there was no parking. It's on a busy main road and there it shares a parking strip no lot) with other store fronts. Ideally you would have to find parking elsewhere and walk to the restaurant typical New York) . Anyway , finally drove by last weekend and was lucky to find parking. There is one table with about 4 chairs on one side and a small counter with a few chairs, keep that in mind if you plan on sitting as this to me is more of a pick up and go scenario. However the restaurant is spacious. Right on the front door there was a sign that they don't have a bathroom. So that also indicated to me this might not be a sit down spot. I was starving and decided that I was gonna sit and eat . When we walked in the girl on staff was on the phone taking orders, there were orders waiting to be picked up by delivery people as well and we were the only ones in the restaurant. I was happy to see that even though the place was empty ,food orders were flying in and out. We ordered Beef Lo Mein and Fried Rice with Chicken . Our food was prepared in about 10 mins and I could smell the vibrant flavors from the close by kitchen and see the chef effortlessly sautéing away . I knew our food was gonna be good . It came out smoking hot and delicious. Flavor was good and enjoyable. My friend rice was a little bland but my chicken was true Guyanese style Chinese Chicken. My hubby got the Beef Lo Mein , I picked out most of his beef and he was annoyed, but sorry,it was too good ,I had to steal it . The only disappointment was that they used a noodle like a narrow fettuccine noodle ,I was really looking forward to the authentic yellow Guyanese Noodle ,I mean it makes the dish so good. However ,it was very seasoned and flavorful. The girl at the counter was the only one there but she was handling the phones, packing orders and sending out the delivery guys as if she could do it with blindfolded with her hands tied. Since she was the sole person on deck I didn't want to distract her from her duties. When taking our order she was attentive and didn't act like we were interrupting. Friendly enough for me but I usually engage more. We ate and as I sat there I wondered if another type of customer would have had a similar experience. Someone who had no idea what this type of food was and wanted to ask many questions, etc . Would they have felt attended to or rushed. Just the kinds of things I look at from working in restaurants for many years. Anyway, food was fresh, hot and good. I'll go back for pickup here again when the cravings hit. They also have a catering menu so I will definitely get trays for future events. The restaurant was clean . The kitchen in small and mostly open so you can peek in from the from counter.
Amazing food with quick and quality service as well as convenient location. Strongly recommend trying if you enjoy great Chinese food but more so Caribbean Chinese food.
Fried rice dishes are excellent- they all have cut up crispy chicken included. The service is easy and pleasant. They are solid in offerings. Even the jerk pork is top notch.
I ordered 2 food, 1 chicken low mein, 1 chicken fry rice. Picked up my food, got home and realized I was given the wrong food. I called, the young lady was so disgustingly rude. Eventually I had to drive back from Brooklyn to their location to pick up the the right food. I got there this rude person brought the food, dropped it on the counter, and said nothing; I said an apology would be the right thing, she refuse to apologize. This rude disgusting behavior to your customers is unacceptable, I along with so many other customers is the reason you have a business that is the respect. As I told her look at my face because they will never have an opportunity to receive my money again. That is not the way to treat people, and I hope people read this review and understand how rude disrespectful this business is to people who support it.
It's great to see a West Indian style restaurant in the neighborhood predominately packed with Hispanic food. Good to have some additional choices as well. The portion of food you get for the price is not too bad which can actually feed two people easily. I usually get two things on the menu and my order total is usually $24 which feeds 4 of us and that's nothing to complain about. It's always a good thing to support your local neighborhood business too. Give it a try
