    First I'll start off by saying, please don't be stingy with your sauces. It's degrading to patrons, especially when you forget items, have misprints on the menu, and are newly opened, in a close community, where the residents will likely be your largest revenue. I was working from home today, and hubby suggested we try Bobo's for lunch. We had been eyeing the place for some time, wondering when they would open up. We were going to order from their online menu but the lunch options were charging us double, so I decided to take a break from work, and go over to the restaurant to order in person. They have a QR code posted outside their entrance, so you can order online but I suggest either calling your order in, or just going in person, especially with their menu issues. If you know me, you know I ordered a not-so-mini smorgasbord of delectables, so that I can sample the menu and see if the place is worth a revisit. I ordered a myriad of items and the first issue I experienced was the fact that I was charged $12 for two orders of lemon pepper fries. On the menu they handed to me at the time that I placed my order, the fries were listed as $4 (check my pics). When I asked about the overcharge, I was told that the menu was incorrectly printed. Red flag for me. Anyone who values their customers should have apologized and offered either a refund, or another item that cost the same amount of the overcharge because, if your menu lists a price, then that's what you need to charge until you fix it. What we had: Lemon Pepper Fries - lemon pepper, where? The seasoning was lost on a trail, waiting for a rescue team, because it was nowhere near these fries. Granted, they were fried well but bland, and considering I was charged 2 bucks more for them, you would have thought they tasted good enough to toss on someone's floor, like Puma did Ceasar. Hushpuppies - solid flavor, like corn bread that wants to be savory. They're ok but where's the sauce?? Crab Cakes - the menu said that it was two per order, but we had a few small ones. They are hot garbage. Very fishy smelling, and tasting, and a few of them were fried hard. Not worth the price tag. Again, where's the sauce? No remoulade? Calamari - really nicely fried. Light and crisp. Very good but again, no marinara, or any type of sauce?? Popcorn Shrimp - dangerous...sooo dangerous, and good, but it would have been nice if they came with a sauce. Lemon Pepper Wings - don't pay extra for all drumsticks because it just isn't worth it. This flavor was very salty, and again, I did not get what it's all cracked up to be. They tasted like fired wings, seasoned in salt and pepper. Basic ASF. Chicken Tenders - I got these for our kiddo. I asked for their BBQ sauce on the side, and I also asked for one of each, bleu cheese, and ranch dipping sauces, but was told inoculd only get one for the other wings, since I was already getting the BBQ sauce on the side, and guess what? They didn't pack my BBQ sauce. These were basic tenders. Fried Shrimp & Onion Rings - This combo was really good. Reminds me of City Island. The fry on the shrimp is like KFC extra crispy. I dig this lots, and the best part is that it won't break the bank. Chicken & Sausage Dirty Rice - More like dingy. I'm unsure the chef's definition of dirty rice but I think they may need some further instruction. Hubby ordered this, and it was basically chicken pieces and andouille sausage, with a scant amount of sauce, over bland ass white rice (again, check my pics). Lunch Specials are available, Monday thru Friday, from open to 3p. Each dish comes with 1/2 lb odf seafood, two eggs, two taters, and two pieces of corn, and your choice of sauce. I ordered two for good measure. Lunch #1: Head Off Shrimp with mild Bobo's OG sauce. It's still a little spicy, and definitely high sodium, but everything is good. The shrimp are cleaned, the potatoes are not mushy, the corn is fully engulfed in the saucy flavor, and the eggs are a nice addition. Lunch #2: Snow Crab Legs with spicy Mojojojo sauce. The sauce is sweet with a helluva kick. I'm not one who enjoys working for my food so, I probably wouldn't order this again. Again, it was served with two of each, potatoes, eggs, and corn. If you read my list of items, you had to have noticed that I purchased quite a few fried seafood items. They legit, gave me one small container of bleu cheese sauce, one small container of tartar sauce, one small container of cocktail sauce, and they forgot my BBQ sauce for my daughter's tenders, after being stingy over an extra dipping sauce. I spent over $125 to try them out and see if they were worth another visit. I've definitely had better, and I just don't think they're worth the price. I'm sure they'll make decent money here but, despite them being in super close proximity, I'd probably take the trip to the west side, and hit up the Puerto Plata seafood truck.

    GUMBO

    I'm giving 3 stars simply because I feel they have room for improvements. I started off with the "Gumbo". It looked more like a soup than anything. Gumbo is supposed to be hearty and thick to coat the stomach but it had the texture of soup. All I had in my cup was one baby shrimp and a bunch of celery. On to the Boil. I got 1/2 a lb of Shrimp and 1/2 a lb of Black Mussels in Garlic Butter no heat, it came with 1 Potato, 1 Corn and I added Hard Boiled Eggs. The Mussel were very tasty. I scooped the sauce up into the shell with the meat...delicious. My problem is that the shrimp was over cooked to the point it tasted mushy. I give it to them they are taking care of the ladies in the restroom and I love that. They have only been open for about 2 weeks so I'll try again in a few weeks to see if it gets better.

    Moscato

    The foods okay. The boil is over season and TOO SALTY. The lobster didn't really have any flavor. Service was okay the waitress was very nice and the wine was good. Otherwise the ambiance is nice with good music. Has much potential.

    It was pretty Good for the Prices. Their signature sauce BoBo's OG was super oily and all the seasoning was stuck at the bottom of the combo bag so if you're like me and get a small rice on the side to put your sauce on top of, you will be disappointed. You're just gona make oily rice! BUT wen i rub the shrimps, crab meat or sausage in the "seasoning" It's good! ‍ LoL I would go back but i'm not getting that BoBo's OG ....idk Who made it "Very Populat!" Lol (that's what the waiter said)

    This place is amazing! I would've never thought to go here, it is in an area of Co-op city that I am not really around much, but I will start going to more just for this restaurant! The atmosphere is cute, with the staff allowing the customers to write on the wood paneling and great music! The menu has multiple options, but we decided to put together our own steam bag which consisted of, 1pound king crab leg, original bobo's sauce (mild), 2 steamed potatoes (which were so meaty) and one ear of corn that was the right amount for the two of us. That bobo's original sauce is amazing.... I can put that sauce on everything.... We actually got a second order of Cajun fries, just so we can soak them in left over bobo's sauce.... Definitely my #1 recommendation! They don't do alcohol which is nice, only soft drinks and lemonade. One down side... the service was very slow.. not just with our table but with all tables... once we ordered the food came quick, it was just finding someone to order took a very long time... they do have a QR code that you can scan and order yourself.. but I don't really like to do that if there are servers present, because I prefer to tip them! I would recommend, training the serving staff better because they are also using iPads to order so it should be faster and quicker... once this is fixed, this place would be 100%!

    BOBO's... let's see how this goes... waiting on shrimp & crab cakes...
    Dantia J.

    ........amazing lemon pepper French fries. Mini crabs cakes.. Just fell apart and wasn't tasty, very greasy... fried shrimp also greasy... as long as they take to prepare and give you, your takeout, it should be cooked to perfection. The price to high for the goods received. They add the tip to your bill which I chose no, to give cash...

    Getting ready to dig in...  Combo A. Perfect Duo (Best for Individual)
    Marilyn V.

    On point every time. Peaceful atmosphere with delicious food, polite servers, fresh food. You will enjoy the meal. Go for it...

    Located where the old Chinese Buffet use to be in Co-Op City. Many people don't even know it's a seafood place there. It's a very family oriented place. It's nothing romantic, and nothing to compare when it comes to decor, and ambiance. You can write on the walls, and write on the tables to say you were there. It was very empty on a Monday night. I wanted to try the Fried Shrimp with their signature Mojojojo sauce. I didn't like the spice. The crab cakes were different than what I am use to tasting, but they were okay. This is the first place I know of to include egg in their seafood bag. I wonder what's that all about. The seafood was seasoned well though.

    I went to dine and in and didn't have any issues. So I ordered a to go combination pour over rice. It should include sausage, chicken and shrimp like the one I ordered when I dined in. I was charged for the combination pour over rice but when I got home there "NO SAUSAGE." I called and spoke to Sherry who served me. She was not apologetic but stated I could come back for the sausage. Like I have Ntn to do but to drive back when they messed up my order. She then said I can come any day for it. Im like how when another staff can just say they know Ntn about it. She stated she can leave a note with my name and number, I started giving my name and number then she starts talking to someone else and disconnects our call. I call back and talk to a guy and he tells me she is busy. Mind u I was there like 15-20 minutes ago and there wasn't much people there. I explained to him that she disconnected my call when I was giving my information for the wrong order. He asks me for my information but it was obvious he was not paying attention because he kept asking me to repeat. Check your order because they just give customers anything and don't care!!!!

    Cajun Fries Shrimp Pourover Rice Wings

    We went for the 28.50 All You Can Eat Menu and everything was delicious. The salt and pepper shrimp was my fave. I had the lemon pepper wings, Cajun fries, pork and chive dumplings, shrimp w garlic pasta and garlic shrimp. Yeah I think I over did it lol. But I wanted to try as many menu items as i could. Was a little disappointed they didn't have the sea bass. The other items were so delicious, it made up for it. My bf had the General Tso's chicken and shrimp pour over rice and cajun wings which he said was fantastic. I tried his general tso's and it had a little heat to it for anyone who likes it spicy. They just got their liquor license so I will definitely be returning soon.

    The place is beyond amazing!! All of the seafood was super fresh and flavorful. - the fried shrimp is finger licking good, lightly battered and packed with flavor. Pair it with some fries and ask for the bobo's secret sauce! - the snow crab legs and crawfish combo is perfectly seasoned. - they offer gloves, bibs and moist towelettes if you don't want to get your hands dirty. A great neighborhood joint for seafood and staff is so friendly. Highly recommended!!

    Crab legs, eggs, corn, shrimp and potato
    Kemi O.

    The customer service was good and the quantity is good for the price. Only thing is they was light on the sauce. The sauce finished before I was done eating. Was a little sad when I went back the second time and saw the prices went up but it is still very reasonable !

    As you can can see this was delicious I recommend the bobo sauce Birthday girl enjoyed the first stop of the night

    Best times !!!!

    Is a no brainer in regards to flavor. I will say I have a basis to the locations tho. I'm a…read moreprecovid frequent dinner and take out was never really my problem thing when I frequented here because it had a certain ambiance with the service when ever I dinned in there that brought me back over and over with different people to experience. So I was so very disappointed when after Covid they continued with the only pick up service. The food quality is enough to continue yes but the vibe dining in and at the bar I truly miss. My daughters fell in love with this place because every time we walked into that dinning room there was a particular servers who KNEW US. They knew us enough to know my daughters had a favorite table (the 1st we sat at dinning there). They know us to know that my daughters had special distinction drink mocktails (one of the reasons the fell in love wit this place) that they could order even when it was no longer in the menu. This was one of those places we frequented....even if they couldn't get their special table or waiter, the quality never disappointed. During Covid we order delivery regularly because we didn't realize how much this spot because our Caribbean food must have. I can't say we ever really had tried a different meal from over favorable ones that made us say this is one thing they don't get right to us. And the rum punches and Bob Marley drinks they served during their dinning days is what got me to the pin t I had to start stopping in this joint just to have a drink and appetizers. This really used to be by spot back when they had dine in services. Over the years it's in our delivery/pickup Bronx favorite list unfortunately. I say unfortunately because now that we are back at full operational living. I har to slash the delivery/pickup weekly rituals to only situations of desperation not necessity. So this spot has only become a craving order delivery/pickup order spot. Not a I got some/gonna make some time to go enjoy a drink and some Caribbean food spot destination. Which this was my #1 default choice before Covid as I said this used to be my spot. I would take my daughters here damn there biweekly if not be there weekly myself on dates and when hanging out . Cause they people there were serious enough about customer service they would acknowledge knowing who you are and treat you as such. Hence again why my daughters loved this place as kids. *Looks right and left* a yoo when yall opening the dinning in area again cause it's been log enough now...FIX IT! lol

I remember when Fish N' Ting first opened several years ago and I'm pleased to know that this family run establishment is still kicking. I would put it in my top five list for Jamaican restaurants in the city. The menu is wide and varying and accommodating of different diets. If you love jerk chicken, you need to try it here! The jerk chicken lovers in my life can't get enough. My recommended dishes are the whiting (fried) with rice and peas, rasta pasta and now the lobster (which I didn't know they had). The seafood is made to order, fresh and super tasty. I never thought sweet chili and lobster would be a good combo but it totally rocks! It was truly delectable. My only issue is that they charge for gravy if the dish isn't saucy (as if) lol but I get it!

He Immediately came over with glasses of water, garlic bread, cheese and olive tapas, a house salad, and napkins. Tried the broiled fisherman's combo: shrimp, scallops, fish fillet, mussels, stuffed clams, lobster tail, and a side, I opted for linguini with garlic aioli. Everything was cooked very well and the presentation amazing and beautiful. Now here's something you don't see every day; an actual stuffed clam where the clam is still partially attached to the shell! None of that surimi crap! Finished the meal with a double espresso, shared a tartufo and cheese cake. I don't know if the digestif was complementary, but it was a nice touch. I don't know how the kitchen keeps up with the orders. The waitstaff must put a few miles on their feet a day and a cardio workout carrying the trays overflowing with food. Amazing! Everything in the restaurant is kept neat, clean, and organized. The music is not overwhelming. You can hear each other at the table. When the weather is a little nicer, they have beautiful outdoor seating with views of Long Island sound. It is very romantic, when the sun is setting, you can imagine yourself being somewhere exotic and far away. As the song goes; "Sometimes you don't know what you got till it's gone."
