Driving along the 401 east late in the evening the other night on the way home and heard my belly grumble....boy do I feel like a oxtail/fried chicken combo from Sunrise. I have been to many of there locations and the taste is similiar but portions vary.
Interesting story with them being the first caribbean restaurant in Canada with a drive through. They started with one location on Kingston Rd. in Scarborough and now have grown to 14 locations around the GTA and southern Ontario....great small business story.
Anyways...back to the food. I think this is one of there franchise locations as per there website. Entered the restaurant, very clean, nice tunes playing the background. I think its' the owner as I've seen her there a couple times greets with this bright and "haven't seen you in awhile" smile...I could have hugged her. Ordered up my food plus wifeys and a couple dumpling for the kids and in no time I was munching on a dumpling and driving home waiting to sink my teeth into some tender oxtail. By the way, owner gave me a free cup full of the soup of the day when I was waiting ...delicious!
Got home, settled down at the kitchen table to gorge myself on this feast I have been dreaming about, and what do you know, they forgot my fried chicken!!! Big let down! I usually make a point of checking my take out order before leaving a restaurant but I guess my stomach played some jedi mind tricks on me and I got distracted.
Food that I did get was on par but wish they would have remembered the fried chicken.
Will go back...but check order before leaving...lesson learned.
