This restaurant has a LOT of 5-star ratings. I've only given out three 5-star ratings, and I would not give this place a 5, but I was seriously contemplating the 3 or the 4. I decided to go with 4 becasue I can't fault the sweet lady who owns this place for the lack of GOOD service from the servers. So, I will give Fu Fu a 4 star. Here's how my experience went.\n\nI arrived and I was not greeted as warmly as I would have expected. I will not dwell on how poor/untrained the service was. I think the girls waiting on the tables need some training and the experience will be better for people. And I should never see a place with that many people in it and one of the servers is just sitting down. WOW, I hope Ester reads this and really works on those servers.\n\nOn to the good part! I arrived with my mind made up about what I wanted to eat. I had the GingerMango drink. A little pricey, but very very tasty. Spicy due to the ginger. The texture was just right. NOt too thin and not too thick. Too much ice!\n ;-) I wanted more, basically, for $5. \n\nI ordered the pepper soup. It arrived with a LOT of meat in it. I had no idea what kind of meat would be in the soup. I just wanted to try something different and tasty. Did not let me down! From the taste, I knew it was an animal's stomach. I wasn't sure what kind. I didn't ask until I finished it. I didn't want to hear it was pig belly until it was over! So I ate the broth and tasted the meat. Turns out that was Goat belly in there. LOL, I loved it. I really did. If you like menudo, you'd enjoy it. I definitely did.\n\nFor my lunch/dinner, I had the fried Tilapia and Jallof rice. Both were bursting with wonderful flavors. I was very happy with the fish. The Jallof rice was also tasty and delicious. The food was just as appealing visually. \n\nThere was a large meetup group seated in the dining room and I saw the owner come out and speak to them. I can appreciate this lady and her business and I do love it.\n\nAs far as the music, I'm not sure if they have adjusted the volume of the music, or if some people have spidey ears. I did not have an issue with the volume of the music. I personally enjoyed it. I'm tickled how much the Nigerian music sounds like western/caribbean pop/hip-hop music. Funny how all things come full circle because African music orginally influenced some western/caribbean music and now it has gone full circle!"^^ .
