For this lunch, I got string beans, fried okra, fried broccoli, curried vegetable and seasoned rice and lemonade! While the green beans were just okay, their fried broccoli and okra were very delicious. Especially with their honey mustard dipping sauce! Really enjoyed their homemade lemonade that wasn't too sweet or too tart. A very nice compliment to this vegetarian lunch combination! Service was great and not hurried l. The decor satisfies its name KENTE too. The star of the entire lunch was the curried vegetable and seasoned rice!

I do wish they had a little better menu selection, for being advertised and recommended to me as African, this was the only dish that was close to. i was hoping for some Doro Wat, or Moambe Chicken, Injera, Braai, Pap en Vleis, Bobotie , Chapati/Mandazi, Nyama Choma, or even some Kitfo. they had none of these things, so I ended up wanting the Ox-Tail Pasta, aka Rasta Pasta. Its only available on certain days. so I actually had to come back for this, and I did. It Was tasty 4 large pieces and 3 tail end tip pieces. It was Large enough that I can probably get 3 meals from this at my portions. Price was little more than wanted but would come back again, just not regularly. I rank my decisions to eat somewhere again as: 1 star - if someone else buys it I won't eat it, I would rather go hungry. 2 star - if I'm hungry, no other options are open and someone buys it - I would consider eating it 3 star - I'm ok with eating it as long as someone else pays 4 star - I will eat again and pay for it and be a semi-regular customer 5 star - I will travel for good food and pay good money and be back on a regular basis and maybe even pay for yours just so we can go

I went way overboard because I wanted the lamb gyro which I always get from here and love, but my…read morefriend told me their chicken was amazing so I had to try it. I got 2 pieces of chicken and a roll for 6.99. The breaks was crispy and the batter was good, but it was VERY dry. Not inedible, but I had very low expectations going into the leg. It couldn't have been further from the breast experience, perfectly cooked and one of the better pieces of chicken I have ever had. The roll was your basic excellent dinner roll. I'd get chicken here again, but I'd know it could be a mixed bag and I'd probably gravitate away from breasts. The gyro though is always the king here. Normally it's shaved from the spit, but I'm guessing they were towards the end of it as mine was chunked this time. Doesn't matter, the meat is perfect and plentiful. Great amount of lettuce & tzatziki sauce. The grilled onions just take it to another level. Couldn't recommend their gyro enough. $9.99 for just the gyro or 12.99 for a combo. Fries were very good.

I didn't even eat it right away, but when I reheated it later, everything was still tender and flavorful. Before that, I let my mother taste it and she's very picky and doesn't like much at all. She loved it. My sister loved it too. Both of them are already planning to go back and get it themselves. The people here are incredibly nice, friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. The place is very clean, and everything is cooked fresh to order, which you can really taste. The owners are amazing guys and super welcoming. They also make these homemade ice waters (I think that's what they're called), and I was told the recipe comes from Pennsylvania or Philadelphia. Either way, they are really good. This place is a definite must-try. If you don't go, you're honestly missing out.

Our service was great - friendly and attentive. The crab dip was a good size and comes with pita which we prefer. It's okay, but not really something I'm going to go out of my way to get. The soup of the day was she crab soup. It was yummy and had some nice pieces of crabs in it. I got a side of the hush puppies to go with my soup. They were stale as if they had been sitting for a while. I asked the server to bring me melted butter which they did and that helped some. My boyfriend got the steamed shrimp. They were huge and he seemed to enjoy them. Overall, this place is just okay. There are definitely better places to go and the price isn't on par with the quality.

Well the name tells the truth because this is the king of Lobstah in Newport News!…read more Tried out this delicious food truck for restaurant week and the lobster roll did not disappoint in any way! The roll was perfectly toasted, ample amount of fresh lobster meat, and loved that the hot bitter served on the side so you can determine how much you want on your roll. The fries were good and seasoned with old bay. Service was fast and efficient as well as kind. It's a food truck so not too much in the way of ambiance.

Given there are no restaurants in the Peninsula where lobster rolls are made, this one has been a welcome edition to the area. For Newport News Restaurant Week, Sophia and I headed here to check them out. Let's see if the hype was worth it. We drove to the food truck which was not far from where we live. They had a few people who were in line or waited in their cars for orders. Both of us got there and paid for our orders. It took nearly 30 minutes for both to be ready but it went by quick. Everyone was very busy taking orders, prepping food and cooking. Truly a well-oiled machine. After they were done, we both went home and enjoyed a nice meal. For my order, I selected a medium size lobster mac and cheese. Very good stuff. The plate was full of lobster that was well seasoned. I appreciate it when you have protein that's of equal amount as pasta, which was well done and full of enough cream sauce. Sophia had a large Connecticut lobster roll and fries which she enjoyed. Lobstah King's really filled us up for the afternoon. The hype was truly worth it. Great food from great people. This will not be the last time you'll see us here :)
