| - LOVED this place, which is saying a lot for a non-vegan dragged there by my vegan friend, we both got the Large "Bit of Everything" combo for $15 each.
I will echo many of the things others have said:
- BBQ Soy is amazing, very reminiscent of thin strips of Chinese beef, with a nice tender/chewy/meaty texture, in a simple but yummy BBQ sauce. So good, my vegan friend was actually suspicious that she has accidentally been served BBQ beef in error.
- Curry Shrimp were fascinatingly textured, similar but different than real shrimp, but tasty, and in a great curry sauce - get extra curry over your rice & peas, so delicious.
- The callaloo greens were yummy and added a real authentic Jamaican flavour
- "Chow Mein" was more bulk than flavour, and would be hugely improved by chinese "mein" noodles instead of the pedestrian italian spaghetti noodles used. (Yes, really).
- Rice&Peas were delicious, and exactly how they should be.
- The rest was chick peas and kidney beans and veggies, which were fine, not earth shattering, but nice "sides", but a little heavy on the bell-peppers.
The food seemed fresh and well-prepared Sunday @ 2pm, despite coming from the steam table, with lots of flavour and spices, but sadly lacking any heat whatsoever, possibly because we weren't offered any Jamaican "pepper" or hot sauce.
Will I return? Definitely!
Next time, lots more BBQ, plus Rice & Peas with Curry of the Day, + hoping to try the Okra, Bok Choy, and more interesting veggies, with LOTS of 'pepper'! :)
**NOTE that their HOURS HAVE CHANGED since the 2014 poster's photo of their hours, with some slightly odd and quirky hours, including Sundays, so CALL AHEAD to be sure. **Someone should take down that picture.**
