    A knockout!!! I came here for the first time and decided to try some of the options here. My partner and I first started with the pomegranate ribs and that was absolutely delicious. It started the evening very well, then, the drinks came and mine definitely punched me in the face. Of course I had wray and nephew in it so I already knew the power that this packed. My partner had to spritz, which was pretty fine. When the main entrée came, the oxtail was certainly delicious, I've certainly had better, but it was good enough for a restaurant quality type of oxtail, rice and peas tasted great as well along with the sweet planted. My partner originally wanted the lamb shank, but unfortunately, they ran out. So she had to settle for the ribeye, which wasn't bad at all. We ended up becoming full halfway through the meal so we just took it all. I will say, it is a very pricey restaurant, though being that it's in the downtown Brooklyn area so do be prepared to spend. Outside of that it was a beautiful day outside, great food, and great drinks.

    I took my mom here for Mother's Day and she loved it Food and drinks are amazing Great service Felt like I was in my family home eating lunch Will be going back

    The seating experience was very disappointing from the start. We came without a reservation and were accommodated, which I appreciate, but they sat us directly under the AC. We w were it we could be moved to an empty table away from the AC but was told those tables were for reservations. We continue on with our night, begin to order, about 20 minutes later a large party come in and need our table, so we were moved to one of those "reserved" tables. While being moved made us more comfortable it was disappointing to know this was only because they needed or table and not for our comfort. Overall the servers were attentive and quick. The drinks were good and the Rasta pasta was flavorful. Unfortunately the rest of our meal was disappointing. We dint enjoy the cake spring rolls and as a Jamaican I didn't care for the additional cheese on cake. The escovitch snapper was also not what I was expecting. Escovitch is white sauce? There was also an issue with our bill, they added items belonging to other customers, maybe because they moved us after ordering? Overall, I probably would not return.

    Have been trying to come here for a year so when I saw a reservation, best believe I grabbed it! We arrived and were seated quickly. The restaurant is cute. I came specifically for the curry crab and was really excited to try it after watching a video of the chef making it on Tiktok but when I got there, the menu I viewed online was not the one we were given. It also did not have the jerk chicken option. On top of that 2 of the menu options were not available. I got the oxtail and rice and peas, which was ok. I also got a Lychee Mojito. Service was lacking as the waitress did not seem as if she wanted to be working.

    I highly recommend Mango Bay, the food was on point. I had the branzino fish and my daughter had the oxtails and they were absolutely delicious.

    This place was actually really refreshing to visit. It's an upscale-ish Jamaican restaurant, serving traditional Jamaican food with a twist. Me and my friends ordered the ackee and saltfish eggrolls, the oxtail curry, and the shrimp. The eggrolls were phenomenal. It really was a cool Jamaican/Asian fusion dish. I think the oxtail could use a little bit of work. It definitely more sweet than savory. I also wish that the oxtail had more meat than bones. The ambience is very trendy. They do have an upstairs, with a really nice spiral staircase going up. Our waitress and hostess were great. All in all, this is a solid place to get some drinks and dinner. It's nothing out of this world, but with a couple of girlfriends or for date night, this could definitely be an option.

    I was hyped to try Mango Bay...each time I wanted to go i could not get a reservation. I was lucky to just randomly check and a friday night reservation was available. The staff was so attentive. From the host to the bartender to the waitstaff. Also. Very knowledgeable about the menu..thats rare nowadays. Unfortunately, my food was just ok.... I ordered the branzino however they were all out. Ugh We tried the ackee and saltfish egg rolls. These were cool however the pepper jack overpowered the flavor of the calaloo and saltfish. I ordered the pepper shrimp as a main. The dish came out room tempature, the dumplings were tight and hard and the sauce was more smoky than spicy. I opted for the salmon instead. The salmon was nicely plated, hot and flavorful. We also tried the lamb shanks with sweet potato mash..again the food temperatures were off. Our lamb was hot but mash room tempature. The sweet potato mash good of had a bit more sweetness. However the lamp was flavorful and tender. We ordered a side of saffron potatoes and sweet plantains...these were the highlights for the nite. The drinks and cocktails were really good..I would go back for the vibe and appetizers.

    I've had Mango Bay on my list for so long, but the operation hours never align with my random schedule. Sad to say, I was very underwhelmed with most of my experience. I was attending a birthday dinner, got there early and was seated at the bar. I sat there for 15 minutes before either one of the men said anything to me, yet, they both looked at me several times. One of them was in and out of the back, but stopped, asked if the other guy had greeted me, and then he politely took my order. For the party, they had a prefix menu, with only 2 appetizer choices and 3 entrees. The food was just ok. The Saltfish Eggrolls were better tasting than I thought they would be. For my entree I had Escovitch Salmon, which I didn't really care for. The mocktails I had weren't a hit either. They didn't offer dessert with the prefix. The waiter that we had wasn't friendly. As he was taking orders, I motioned to ask him a question and he put his finger up at me, which I felt was very rude. They asked him to take a group picture and he brushed them off, and the lady who was initially greeting at the door, was walking past and kindly took the picture. Otherwise, the restaurant itself is nice, they have a beautiful spiral staircase that's like the staple piece. I didn't go upstairs to see the layout but the restaurant is nice. I know that you get different experiences with each visit, however, it not a must that I return.

    Truffle Aioli Burger

    Uh uh this place is definitely over hyped. Beautiful ambiance and good music. Bar service was attentive but once we sat down our server basically forgot about us. My drink was delicious, after that was the fries omg best thing I had all night and after that was the burger. But hard to mess that up. Everything else we could've skipped. The curry goat puff pastry lacked flavor and was not a true curry. The pepper shrimp were so oily and lacked flavor as well.

    My friend and I ordered the Burger, Scallops, Oxtail, and the Johnny Cakes with Pepper Shrimp. The Johnny cakes were dry and the shrimp wasn't spicy. We were both disappointed. I'd give the dish maybe a 3/10. The Oxtail was fine. Nothing amazing. I loved the Scallops and Burger with fries. Those were delicious and I'd go back for them if I'm in the area. We were Sat upstairs which was cozy and there was live music at one point. The fact that this place is upscale and expensive, I'd expect the food to be excellent. The drinks were also good. Service was not very attentive, but it was busy the night we went.

    Akee Ackee and Saltfish Eggroll
    Danika G.

    Mango Bay in Brooklyn is a personal favorite of mine and never disappoints. The interior is absolutely gorgeous and feels very homey at the same time. It has an upscale vibe, but still feels warm, inviting, and relatable rather than stuffy. The servers were super knowledgeable of the menu and really helped us make our decisions. I'm known to ask someone's favorite and then not order it, but we listened to the recs and they were all spot on. The food was a complete hit across the board. There were four of us, and we ordered the oxtail, pepper shrimp, akee and saltfish egg rolls, jerk chicken Caesar salad, goat puff pastry, and the mussels. Every dish delivered. I did not get to taste the mussels because my friend went completely silent and cleared the bowl so fast that I never stood a chance, which honestly says enough on its own. The standout dish for me was the goat puff pastry. I typically do not enjoy goat dishes, so I was genuinely shocked by how much I loved it. The flavor reminded me of the oxtail and was incredibly rich and satisfying. The jerk chicken Caesar salad was also amazing. The jerk had a nice kick without being overwhelming, and the balance of sauce and dressing was perfect. The biggest surprise for me was the akee and saltfish egg rolls. I have tried akee and saltfish several times before and never liked it, but these completely changed my mind. They were delicious. I would absolutely return to Mango Bay and recommend it without hesitation.

    oxtails and jerk chicken

    Mango Bay in Brooklyn was a pretty interesting experience. My best friend and I went here to enjoy a meal and even though we did not have a reservation, we were able to sit at the bar. The hostess was super kind and thoughtful. There was only one seat left at the bar and she actually gave up her chair for us, which really stood out. The bartenders and hostess were very in tune with what was going on around them. They were quick, attentive, and helpful, which made everything run smoothly. We originally wanted the lychee mojitos, but they were out of lychee, which was a little disappointing. We ended up keeping it simple with an espresso martini and a vodka soda and both were solid. For appetizers, we ordered the salad and fries. I enjoyed them. My friend felt like the salad had a slightly fishy taste, but it worked for me and was up to my standards. I liked the addition of chopped mango in the salad, which was a different experience that surprisingly worked really well together. For our main dishes, we had the oxtails and the jerk chicken and they were absolutely amazing and full of flavor. I especially enjoyed the jerk chicken. It tasted like it came fresh off the grill and gave me a tropical, nostalgic vibe. I would definitely love to come back to this spot and I am really happy I got to experience it with my best friend.

    The atmosphere was enchanting, and quite comfortable. We were a party of five and were greeted by a smartly dressed hostess and taken to our table upstairs. The food, drinks and music was delicious! My cocktail was good but a tad too sweet - watch that if you're watching your sugar intake!

Both of these items were good but for the amount that comes with them it's pricy (you get 2 small bao tacos and 4 pieces of gyoza, both of which are $20-22 each). I liked the bao tacos the most because of the mixture of flavors and textures, including the excellently friend fish. The gyoza was different. It wasn't bad but I think I'm just used to crispy/fried gyoza vs these which were boiled/soft. My friends really enjoyed the crab fried rice. The fried sweet plantains were just ok to me; The batch we got were dry and not that sweet.
