"All I can say...Is I had to call the restaurant back after taking a few bites, ended up speaking to the owner after asking for the cook/chef. I had to let them know, although this was a doordash order This Jerk, Shrimp and Orange chicken fried rice with broccoli and garlic bread was absolutely an absolute 10/10. This is a dish that should never fall off that menu!!!"

"Food and customer service were great. They even had free hot chocolate in the lobby while you wait on your food. I ordered the jerk chicken fried rice and the Alfredo and the servings were huge we're going to be eating off these plates all day if not tomorrow. Also the pieces are very reasonable for how much food we were given. I put yum yum on my rice and 10/10"

- Dani W.

"This was my first time ordering from here. I ordered the catfish sandwich and 2 catfish dinners. The sandwich was tasty but we were disappointed with the dinners because the fish was basa swai, not catfish. I don't know why that is used as a substitute in many restaurants and unfortunately many do. There are only a few that has real catfish. I may try some of their other items because I definitely love to see black-owned businesses in the neighborhood, but not the "catfish"."
