Wait time: take out Service: 10/10 (for take out) Food: 7/10 ( collectively for the whole order) Price point: 5/10 Ambience: small local bar/eatery feel Returning: possible The food was OK. I believe they advertised as Guyanese Chinese food. Definitely not the Chinese food you would find in Guyana. But out of all the items the bbq spareribs were the hit of the order and we would definitely get those again.
The food here is soo good when they do it right; hot and tasty with crispy fried chicken and it’s amazing. Sadly, the quality of the food is inconsistent. some days you might get the perfect meal other days you’re going to get lukewarm food with soggy chicken. Been coming here for almost 10 years now and I still come back so no hate just the truth 🤷🏾♂️
So accommodating! We had a handicap person in our group that was welcome with open arms. Every seat was open to her. We chose the outside bar. Great great experience! We had just come from crabs claw that would not offer a seat for our handicap (local) friend even after we offered to pay! Such a bad experience. This was a breath of fresh air. I will recommend this place to all my friend and family. Come here instead of crabs claw. Please please please
The girls and I got together to get food and drinks. When we arrived we found seats right away. There was a DJ and Natalie was our server. She was so nice and attentive. I ordered a rum punch which I didn't care for so I stuck with red wine for the night. I also got the house special fried rice and it was ok tasting. What gave this spot 4 stars was the atmosphere and the music. I really enjoyed myself with my girls.
They keep pressuring us for bottle service in the VIP section as a requirement to be in the VIP section even if we were waiting on someone. But by midnight the VIP section was crowded with people who did not do bottle service. It was not a VIP experience. If that’s how it’s going to be then my friends and I as long time patrons will find another hangout spot.
