    Here we go; Someone recommended this restaurant because it was in the area of work in Central Islip. So I decided to visit the restaurant. It was very clean. Customer service was great. However, the food was not good at all. Let just say my stomach wasn't happy at all. I'm not sure if I will be visiting this restaurant again.

    This establishment has been in the neighborhood for a while and have never tried it. Needless to say it's a gem. Food tastes so good! I had the Rasta pasta with chicken. It was so so good and flavorful. The portions were great and I even had leftovers. We got two large dinners which were beyond huge of the jerk chicken and stew chicken. A great deal where you can get two meals out of one. Service was nice and woman working there were polite. I will definitely be going back!!

    Overall I had a great dining experience at Nyam Sum! I ordered the oxtail, cabbage, rice and beans. The food was hot and fresh, plus the young ladies working were very pleasant. Their menu has quite a variety. I think this restaurant is a hidden gem that will become a favorite to many!!!! I will certainly be back to support this minority owned establishment!

    Not sure why it is showing less but this place deserves no less than 5 stars. My Jamaican family tried this place out before I did. We were so sick of the Jamaican restaurant a couple of miles away on 111, so I couldn't wait to try what Nyam Sum had to offer. First off, the name of the restaurant is amazing. All my family and friends loves it. They really put themself at a great location on Suffolk Avenue, and having themselves in a "strip" mall with foot walkers, too. Their sign is big enough so people can see from the road, and it's right across the street from neighborhoods. So my boyfriend and I finally checked out this place. He's never had Jamaican food - so I thought we'd try it. The man that was helping us, one of the owners - his name was Kirk. He was the nicest man, greeting us when we walked in, extremely friendly, and very welcoming. It threw me back because you don't usually get such great welcoming like that in any restaurant. He was patient while decided what we wanted. My boyfriend was able to look off the menu because it was easier for someone who has never ate Jamaican food. Their menu has a WIDE variety of choices, it's actually shocking. He ended up getting the Jerk chicken, he doesn't like spice, but Kirk said he'd be okay and I was told by my bf that the "spice quality" was just right enough and delicious. And I got the Curry Goat which tasted phenomenal (and WASN'T full of bone like I normally get at the other place). Also, got the bun and cheese which was on point. The plantins were delicious along with the cabbage, which was seasoned and perfectly made - like I've never had them before. They do take card as well in case you Yelpers were wondering. I'll be spreading word around about this place - They set a great first impression to us. Not only do I recommend this restaurant because the service and the food is great. But I will 100% support anyone in business who put their life on the line and served for this country - that to me deserves more than the 5 stars I can provide.

    The food was phenomenal and the portion size was extremely generous! I highly recommend the Veg Chunks if you're vegetarian.

    Oxtail,Rice and Peas with Cabbage and Plantain.

    My first time ordering here I was greeted by two nice ladies. My husband and I wanted to try two different entrees to support this Black owned Business and they did not disappoint. First I'd like to say both dishes were seasoned perfectly and tasted delicious. As for the meat on both of our dishes tender just the way I Iike my Oxtails and also my Goat. Rice and Peas delicious as well . Portion are fine prices are fair. I will be going back again. They will get 5 stars after I've tried everything.

    Brown stew chicken platter.
    Sandy O.

    Absolutely delicious! The jerk chicken was so good and not too spicy. The brown stew chicken---so yummy and so good. The cabbage and sweet plantains were on point. My kids and I absolutely love it and will definitely be returning.. We highly recommend!

    New York Bagel Company - Sausage, egg, and cheese (with ketchup) on an everything bagel

    After moving out of New York a few years ago, one of the things my husband and I look forward to…read morewhen we come back to visit family is having a delicious bagel (or two) while in town. My family and I spent several days trying to satisfy our craving for a good New York bagel and found our way to New York Bagel Company one morning. We may have come in on an off morning for them, but unfortunately we were extremely let down with the bagels that were used for our egg sandwiches. We ordered one sandwich with an everything bagel and the other sandwich on a garlic bagel. Unfortunately, both tasted extremely flavorless and the bagels themselves were an odd texture, almost as if they had been microwaved. My husband was so disappointed he went back to the cash register area to ask for a refund. Management stood by their product asserting that they did not put their sandwiches in the microwave. The manager remained extremely professional and offered a refund on the sandwiches. We were so surprised, but extremely grateful for the gesture. The service was the best part of our breakfast that morning. The bagels missed the marks for us and would be the main reason we would likely not return in the future.

    Waited a full hour before they STARTED my order, then when I received it was missing items and…read morecoffee was without items ordered. Paid $80 for 1 sandwich 2 coffees (one that couldn't be enjoyed) and a small cup of watermelon. They credited me $10. What a joke. I had paid for uber so there was no getting it corrected.

Well Starbucks has a great selection of food. Coffee is very powerful. You need a kick go to Starbucks lol. I have had a great experience, however there was this one last time I ordered the eggs . Something told me not to eat them but I did anyway. I regretted it. Those eggs had my stomach flipping for 3 days . We'll turns out it was a bit of food poisoning. Yuck. No more eggs for me from Starbucks . Overall location is great up the block from Jakes 58. Yes I will visit this location again . Happy yelping.

This Starbucks location was super conveniently located right off the highway, so I made a quick pit stop. I placed a mobile order and headed into the bathroom, which was not totally clean but not as bad as some Starbucks bathrooms that I've experienced (and probably better than any gas station stop I could've made along the way, so I'll take it. This location was clean, can't speak to the food but my latte was well made and to my liking. They were pretty busy when I stopped in so I had to wait a bit for my order, but overall not a bad stop. Not a bad Starbucks. If you're in the area or if you need a pit stop along the way off the highway, this will do the trick.
