Had a craving for some authentic Guyanese food, especially some Chicken Fried Rice GT style. Arrived as the first customer of the day after running some errands in the morning and working up an appetite! Started off with an order of the cow heel soup. Let me just say the soup was one of the best, if not THE best I've ever had. I'd give the soup 10/10. Ordered some shark and chips, also really good. Shark was well seasoned and crispy but tender. Very tasty. Some pholourie was next, which were also really good. The mango sour was good but it needed something more, as it didn't pack a lot of flavor. Pholourie was a 9/10, sour was 3/10. Onto the main dish, and this place normally is my favorite Chicken Fried drive outside of Guyana itself. This time it was good but not great. The rice was well seasoned but perhaps even a bit too much in terms of the soy sauce. The chicken was also good, but could've used a little more seasoning and it wasn't as tender as it's been in the past. Normally the Chicken Fried Rice is 8/10 or better. This time it was about 6/10. Again largely based on what I know they are normally capable of. The sorrel was VERY good. So good that I simply stuck with that vs getting a drink. It was sweet but had a little spicy kick to it. Very fresh. From an ambiance standpoint, it was early. But the place was spotless, well kept and I'm sure if I'd come a couple hours later... would've been rockin with some good tunes and people.

DO NOT I repeat DO NOT waste your money by going to this establishment. Idk if the management or chief changed but I'm highly disgusted and disappointed with the food and service. I moved to NJ but was in NY in the neighborhood and decided to order some food to take home to NJ for my family but when I got home my mom already cooked. I put the food in the fridge and the next day when I wanted it up to eat it was slimy and stink. The fry rice. I called waited on hold for 20 mins to speak to Theresa the manager or supervisor who ever she is to tell me there's a 4hrs window to return food and there is nothing she can do. SMH, there goes my $47. Maybe when I come back she'll give me a discount..... no thank you because I'm NOT coming back

Writing this review as I sit in the restaurant disappointed…First off service is slow. It took about 15 minutes To get offered drinks… I had to ask the hostess, my waitress (no name) didn’t introduce herself just placed menus on the table. She seems very uninterested in serving us. She never checked on us in between drinks and the food. NOW for the food…. General tos chicken was mediocre at best. we ate it because we were starving. The house special rice with chicken, it had NO flavor the rice grains were tough/hard the shrimp pork sausage medley in the rice also had NO FLAVOR…. HOW.?And the pina Colada taste like a childs drink mix. Cheaply made. Will not be back

Sydney and his staff are wonderful and very good people. They treat us like family with respect and courtesy.I will always dine there when I visit NYC.
The food is absolutely Fantastic! One platter can feed 2 people. The house special fried rice is the best

I wish I could give this place more than 2 stars.. I placed an order online for pickup and when I went home I received the wrong items, instead of 2x chow mein and 1x fried rice I received 3x chow mein, I called the store and was NOT accommodated at all. No offer to change my food, a discount, a refund absolutely nothing. Not even "We are sorry for this mistake." This is just simply bad customer service. Wouldn't recommend going to an establishment that just takes your money and does not care if you're satisfied or not. The ONLY reason they received 2 stars is for the ambiance. The inside of the restaurant is clean, and very spacious, especially for a large group. Hopefully for future customers they can be accommodating and willing to fix their mistakes and/system so that they can properly read what's ordered.

Cant say what was worst the manager or the food both horrible . Richmond hill location just the worst

The food is average. Nothing special that stands out. You would have to wait a while for the food. Do not expect warm food because it takes long to come. The take takes long to clear after someone would have finish eating. The place is most definitely a Caribbean flavour. It is good to experience it your self.Vegetarian options: LimitedParking: You have to drive around the block until you get a parking spot.Kid-friendliness: It is ok to take kids to eat but not totally kids friendly
I purchased the curry chicken and instead the are putting fried chicken as curry chicken . That is awfully wrong .

Yesterday I had Chicken fried rice it was delicious - I had mines with no egg, ginger and spicy (extra points for the ginger - delicious). Rice was a bit oily though. I ordered again - chicken broccoli with white rice should've ordered Chinese instead (chicken was almost raw and flavorless, rice was so basic - broccoli was the only thing that got me through the meal) Note to self only order chicken fried rice from here, stick to Chinese if you want chicken broccoli.

Ordered two Roast Pork Lo Meins and there was practically no pork in the food. Total waste of money.
