I've been here plenty of times now and love the staff as well as the party vibe ambiance especially when watching Haiti compete in the World Cup.

Oh and can't forget my fave the pikliz!!! I haven't been to Haiti, but the owners are from there and brought their unique spices and flavors to Los Angeles.

I got an oxtail plate, with djon djon & bannan peze. It also came with a little bit of salade russe (Haitian potato salad), pikliz, and sauce. The diri djon djon was so flavorful, definitely my favorite thing on the plate. The oxtail was seasoned well and pretty tender. The pikliz was good, pretty mild so I could enjoy it all. I tried some griot and thought it could have marinated longer. The portions felt very huge. The service here is really friendly and accommodating. The food came put after not too long of a wait and it was hot. The space is cool. It looks like an old diner. There's konpa playing in the background and games like Uno & Dominos available if you want to play. We also got two Haitian beef patties to go. They're legit! Came with pikliz and another sauce I never had before, it was green with a bit of spice and tang. The main downside is the location. It was fine in the daytime, but at night I wouldn't want to be alone as a woman here. That's just me though. Parking is metered on the street ($6/hr)

He insisted that he would wait because he had already invested his time... only for the smallest serving of griot and white rice with subpar flavor.

Everything is flavorful and satisfying, and I usually order it to go. The only downside is the price. It's always been on the expensive side, but seeing one oxtail plate go up to $31 (+tax) makes it hard to justify coming here as often as I used to. The quality is still there, but the higher price means it'll probably be more of once a year meal. One thing to be aware of is that there's a surcharge even when paying with a debit card. Legally you're not supposed to add a charge when using debit card but I paid it anyways. It was an unexpected charge that other customers may want to know about. Ambience was okay. Service was nice. Overall, the food is delicious and worth trying, but between the rising prices and the added card surcharge, I'll likely be visiting once in a blue moon.

Simona is an absolute superstar!…read more I've been to Miss B's Coconut Club a few times, and Simona genuinely took the experience to another level. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and on top of everything without ever being overbearing. She has that rare ability to make you feel like you're not just another table -- she actually makes you feel welcome and taken care of. Her energy was fantastic, her recommendations were spot-on, and she somehow managed to keep up with everything while still making our table feel like a priority. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does, and that makes a huge difference. Miss B's already has a great atmosphere, but having someone like Simona taking care of you makes the whole experience even better. If you go to Miss B's, ask for Simona. Seriously. She's the kind of server you remember after you leave and the reason you want to come back. 10/10 service, 10/10 personality, and an absolute credit to Miss B's. Give this woman a raise!

I just went yesterday with 2 other people on a Sunday afternoon and it was fairly empty. The decor is singularly vivacious, fun, and welcoming. The staff are warm. The food is delicious and not terribly expensive, and it comes out of the kitchen pretty quickly. We got a variety of dishes but we all got the nearly-candy caramelized plantains and rice. I also loved the fresh melon-guava agua fresca, which complemented the food perfectly. This is a great spot for a quick bite, a group meal, a gathering of friends, a post-beach meal, if you have little kids. It's just as delicious as a higher end place, but less precious, faster, and easier if you're sandy, casual, or spontaneous. They can also produce takeout quickly if you just want to pick up and eat at home. Keep them in business! Buen Provecho.
