I had a craving for Louisiana fried chicken. i had not had any in years. I searched online to find…read morea location near me and this was the location. i was greeted by Rumpo. He was pleasant and assisted me making my choice in the chicken combo since there are so many combo options. I settled on the 3 piece fried chicken, the typical roll, fries and choice of 3 pieces. There was a picture of the fried rice and the meat options are chicken or shrimp fried rice. Why so we ask business' if their food taste good? I asked, is the shrimp fried rice good, he said yes. i asked were the shrimp large or small. he said, they are large and you get 8. i have a favorite spot to get my shrimp fried rice and i know i get more than 8 and the price is cheaper. but, hey! it was my first visit so i ordered it. Since the food is prepared fresh it was about a 15 minute wait. Rumpo gave me the number so i could call ahead to order next time. When my order was done everything smelled great. He even through in a lemon pepper drumette to sample and get me hooked :-). There is no where to dine there but, i was taking it home anyway. When i got home the chicken was still piping hot and seasoned well. The fries were hot too. They use Hawaiian rolls, i like that!! i give the chicken combo a 10/10. The shrimp fried rice was sadly disappointing. there was alot of rice. it was dry and lightly seasoned if at all. i had shrimp at home that i sauteed and added to the rice. My usual spot gives the same amount of rice and i have shrimp in just about every bite! the price is a couple of dollars less too. the shrimp fried rice is a 5/10. would i go back, yes because the chicken was good and Rumpo was very charismatic. All the reviews speak about Kathy. perhaps she was the cook when i went. I had no interaction with her.

They don't serve hard alcoholic beverages, but they do have an amazing Passion Fruit juice that was extra delicious. Highly recommend ordering one! For dessert, we tried two different items: the rosquillas con ice cream and the apple crisp. Both were really good in their own unique way, the perfect sweet ending to the night. They also have a snack section my favorite! Lol. They were running a 3-bag special on their plantain chips, which are my favorite, so of course I grabbed some to go! Overall, we loved Maria and her energy, and we'll definitely be coming back to try their full menu next time. A fun little stop with great service and tasty treats!

Wanted to try the OG spot but came with my husband to this location…read more I was hesitant when we came in because it was empty. Also, there was only one person working. But when we placed our order and sat down people started coming in placing orders and picking up orders. It really is a New Orleans vibe inside. For a minute I thought I was in NOLA, lol. My husband ordered the fried shrimp, yams,red beans and rice,and cornbread. I ordered the shrimp po' boy with all the fixings. I also wanted a small seafood gumbo but they didn't have any and it's a gumbo shack. Last, we ordered the banana pudding to go. Everything was delicious and we'll try the banana pudding at home. Props to Mrs. Maria for holding it down solo. We will definitely be back in the future.

It was very affordable and we enjoyed it and we're planning to go back pretty soon. That's how great they are and I hope they keep continuing doing a great job.

I got this via delivery and would have loved to try it in person. I'm a big fan of Nigerian food so…read moreI was happy to find this place. I ordered their fufu combo which comes with egisu, goat meat (there are other options if you wanted something else), and fufu. I wanted Eba as well but they didn't have anymore. Instead they gave me an extra fufu. The Egisu was really good! It made me so happy to enjoy this lol. The spices were wonderful and not overpowering. The fufu was smooth and doughy. The goat complemented all the other components really well. The only downside were the hidden chunks of bone in the meat. I crunched down pretty hard and was shocked that I didn't see it coming. Otherwise the food was amazing and I'd order it again! Also got fried plantains and they were a nice way to complement the meal.

The egusi was amazing and the fufu ball was perfect consistency, light and moist, a wonderful cloud to accompany your egusi. The egusi was my favorite, but the rice, fish and plantains were good too. There are plenty of tables, seating and parking. I loved the small but private parking lot. There is pretty are on the walls and a TV playing if you want entertainment. The ambiance is peaceful and tasteful. Service was kind and friendly. There was a man who was very helpful and considerate of our lack of knowledge. He made recommendations and we asked for low spice--and the spice level was perfect in the egusi! The egusi had just enough spice for flavor but not too much to ruin out meal for us (spice wimps!). We are thankful. This weekend we were just passing Long Beach, but we will definitely return again, looking forward to more Nigerian food - worth the trip just for the food.

Parking at Fish Bone was easy thanks to a big lot out front, which is always a relief. Walking in,…read morethe inside of the restaurant wasn't much to talk about pretty simple and low-key, but it was clean and comfortable enough for a casual spot. The staff was nice not over friends but welcoming. The first time I went was yesterday, they were close to closing so they were out of catfish so I came back today! For my order, I went with the Catfish Dinner, which came with three pieces of catfish, crinkle-cut fries, potato salad, a roll, and sauces. I actually received four pieces of fish, which I appreciated since the pieces weren't very big. The fish itself was a bit of a letdown, though. From the photos I'd seen online, I expected golden-brown fillets with a light, crispy crust. Instead, what I got looked like it had been fried hard. The crust was very dark and the catfish inside was slightly overcooked, leaving it dry instead of tender and flaky. The seasoning was there and the flavor wasn't bad, but the golden look that first sold me on ordering, wasn't there. The fries were solid and did their job crispy enough on the outside with a soft inside. The potato salad, on the other hand, wasn't very good. It seemed like it was made with pre-cut potatoes, and it had a processed taste and texture that felt out of place next to the rest of the plate. The roll was soft, and the sauces (especially the hot sauce) helped add some extra kick, but none of it could cover up the fact that the fish was just cooked too hard. Overall, I can see why people love Fish Bone and especially their catfish, but I think I just got a bad batch this time. The staff was wonderful, the parking was easy, and the meal was filling, but I left a little disappointed because I wanted that golden, flaky fish I'd seen in the pictures. First impressions mean a lot when trying a new restaurant, and this one left me feeling disappointed. If this had happened on a second visit, I might have been more forgiving and chalked it up to an off day. But since this was my first time at Fish Bone, it's hard to want to go back when the main dish, the catfish, was a let down. I can see why people love this spot and maybe I just got a bad batch, but for me, the experience wasn't enough to earn a return visit.

It's fast-casual so order and take out or eat there. Not much service they can provide but they are friendly and explain the options and choices well to a first timer.

I understand it takes time for food to cook once you order it but I felt it was unusually long. Maybe I was there on an off day OR they "misplaced" my order for the first few minutes. I will definitely come back to try again.

Due to…read morethe street right in front of the restaurant being closed off for the World Cup festivities, we found street parking a few blocks away. The restaurant itself is large and reminded me of being in Central America (I liked the metal roof above the corner near the kitchen entrance). The decor was very festive. Service was very friendly and attentive. Although I was a bit disappointed that some menu items I was interested in trying were not available, everything we ordered was delicious. The patacones were crispy on the outside and denser than I am used to, and was a large serving as an appetizer. The ceviche was sweeter than other varieties and had a Caribbean touch. The sancocho was rich in flavor. The oxtail was delicious and the jerk chicken also spicy and flavorful. Portions were generous and prices fair, aside from the drinks being a bit pricey at $9 for a relatively small glass. Presentation of all the food was also top notch. We loved the plantain tart dessert as well, which came looking like little money bags. I was very impressed with the food here, just be prepared for a bit of a wait as everything is made to order!

Taco Tuesday: my wife and I went to a new place for lunch, within walking distance. Discovered…read moreit's not new...has been holding this spot down for more than 20 years, serving home-style Mexican plates, including a very good flavored menudo, though I wish they had used honeycomb tripe. We stopped in before 11am (they open at 10), and were the only ones dining in. There is a parking lot to the side, for customers of the businesses in this building (Mamy's and the nail/hair salon). We later learned that they were short staffed this day, but were still greeted with a smile and a motion to sit where we wanted. A really good basket of freshly fried corn tortilla chips were presented, with a good, hot salsa (good indication that their chilaquiles would be good...need to try that next time). The chef also was serving as the waiter this day, and apologized for delays (which honestly weren't that bad). I asked about the Taco Tuesday specials, learned that all meat soft shell meat (beef, chicken, pork) tacos were $1.50 (instead of the normal $2), but we wanted hard shell ($3 each), so couldn't take advantage. We got 6 shredded beef and 3 shredded chicken, and they came out freshly made and fully dressed (with crisp iceberg, cheese, salsa, and crema). The shells tasted freshly made, and both the chicken and beef shredded were excellent, with no fat or gristle and good flavor. A little bit later, I got my menudo, along with some OK flour tortillas. The broth was excellent: full of flavor, and hearty without being oily. There was a hoof in the soup, probably to let the connoisseurs (not me) how authentic it is. It didn't have too much hominy, so ate all of that up. It had plenty of tripe, but it was all the blanket/flat variety (none from the second stomach chamber (the kind usually found in pho), which I've now learned is what I much prefer). I probably ate half of it, and sipped the rest of the great broth and any orphaned corn pieces. It's old school here, with the items being entered into an old fashioned cash register from hand written notes. They do take credit card, which is how we paid. My wife learned that the original Mamy has passed. Their daily special is 2 soft tacos with a bottle of beer for $6...knowing now how tasty their tacos are, that's a great deal.

It would be unreasonable and a missed opportunity to not give this hole in the wall a try. It's a compact restaurant with a dedicated parking lot so it's never hard to find parking. It's run by the restaurant owner himself and an assistant. The owner is very friendly and does everything from taking orders to cooking. He's gone through so much in life but still finds courage to come in every day to cook up homely meals. For appetizer, he brought out a free plate of chips and salsa. Something about these chips, they're highly addictive and just had the right airiness without being too oily. I had the fried tilapia. The fish is crispy and had a nice touch when paired with salsa and lemon juice. The rice is perfectly fluffed. Overall, it just felt like it was a home cooked meal.
