So just keep that in mind when you wanna visit during high traffic hours. Parking was a little tricky too. We ordered the combo plate with brisket and pulled pork and they both were 10/10. Super moist, tender and absolutely delicious. I can't say it was fully worth the wait of 1-1.5 hours but it sure was tasty.

The space is massive, could likely hold 300 people comfortably. There's even a stage space, great for karaoke or a work event. We were served buffet style and everything was INCREDIBLE. Things easily dry out on a buffet line, but not here. Everything was fresh, juicy and tender. My favorite was the pulled pork and mac and cheese. I'll definitely be back the next time im in the area!

Seemed like a very authentic hole-in-the-wall, and I will definitely be back. I had the beef soup. It was pho-like, in a huge bowl with very thin beef (but lots of it) and filled with spicy peppers. Get some water, those peppers pack a pleasant punch. I also had bbq chicken, lamb. They both were like smallish juicy skewers. The chicken was actually better than the lamb, but both were delightful. Finally I tried the BBQ squid. It was tough to describe. Firm, but not too tough or chewy. It came in a sauce that was like the chef had gone to heaven and brought back some soy sauce just for you. Overall great experience.

We are regular customers since it's been open, mostly for takeout (lunch and dinner). Our regular…read moreorder is beef sautéed handpulled noodles, shrimp sautéed handpulled noodles, and an order of lamb skewers. Order is ready within 20 min of the call, we pick it up and everything is piping hot and fresh. One order of noodles is good for 2 people, and we save the rest for the next day. There is a variety of veg in each order as well - cabbage, carrot, brocolli, mushroom, and a few others I'm probably forgetting. We opt for the shrimp instead of the seafood option because you get more shrimp and less fake crabmeat. It goes without saying that the quicker you start on the noodles, the less soggy they are (this isn't usually a problem for us). Flavor is nice and light, not excessively salty and a good taste of garlic and sesame oil. You get three skewers in one order, there's not a ton of meat on the stick but it's nicely roasted with a dusting of the chili salt seasoning that brings back memories of street food in China. My husband mainly gets it for nostalgic purposes haha - but it's a nice snack. Total comes to $26, which feeds two people two meals, so really good value. Great for a night off from cooking.

We got the hot pot and the bbq. Definitely take sometime to explore. We missed a few things til almost the end. Example we forget we could get special deli meat for the hot pot - which was ok as we loved the veggie selection so we didn't miss out too much!! Great place for mushroom lovers. I had the mushroom base with ramen noodles and 3-4 different kinds of mushrooms!! The Korean BBQ was the star however cooking it right at our booth in the table!! The hanger steaks are amazing, Ribeye was good but the pork ribs....YUMMY!! Pricey but you don't leave hungry!! All you can eat over 2 hours and they have some sweets for dessert

I believe they focus more on take out than dine in. When I walked in all the lights were off and the place seemed empty, but then I saw a worker and said I was there for a pick-up order. My order was ready when they said it would be so I appreciate that. I decided to try their fried dumplings and red chili chicken wings. The sauce that came with the dumplings was lacking flavor but overall the dumplings had a good filling and nice crisp. The chicken was sauced well but obviously not as crispy as I'd like due to the sauce and steaming in the to go box. They were still tasty though.

A quick review from a recent uber eats order…read more I was in town for a business trip and decided to order a few uber eats orders since my hotel's food is not the best. Looking through recommendations I came across Mr. Bigg's restaurant. I am always open to try different cuisines and one for sure was Caribbean/ Jamaican when I am back home. It was definitely surprising how fast it was made and delivered but then I also noticed it was located pretty close to my hotel. I ordered the Oxtail with beans & rice, plantains, steamed cabbage and an additional side of corn bread. First bite was a delicious. The oxtails are tender fall of the bone. Great depth of flavor and texture was delicate. Plantains are nice in flavor and color, steam cabbage is steamed nicely not watery, rice was a great compliment and the corn bread was moist and sweet. Overall I appreciated the food from Mr. Bigg's restaurant. I did not have a chance to stop in around the city for restaurant due to my schedule but this was a great presentation of what the restaurant offers. Caribbean cuisine is something I do not often get but when I do, I never am disappointed. I would recommend this and especially if you like a meal that is full of flavor, spices and possibly put you to sleep haha
