We are thrilled to have discovered this gem! My husband raved about his Oxtail dinner and the Jerk Chicken dinner tasted like a family recipe. So yum! We were pleasantly surprised that each dish came with flavorful cabbage which was a nice compliment to the main courses. My fave ended up being the Curry Chicken with Mac N Cheese. Will be ordering again! read more

Recently while visiting Hampton, Virginia i decided to take a visit to Sunsplash Carribean Restaurant. One of my favorite food critics, Storm Chasers reviewed them and had lovely things to say so I figured I would give them a try. I usually don't eat out for carribean because my father is Jamaican and I get disappointed. But I wasn't here. The Oxtail Dinner was delicious. More meat than fat. The flavor was powerful. And they give you plenty. I decided I couldn't wait to eat it at home so I ate it there. Now it was pricy, $25 and just two years ago according to google reviews it was $15.95 so a major increase in price. Also the person who took my order seemed bored and like I was bothering here when I ordered. read more

Sunsplash Carribean Restaurant - Oxtail Dinner Special - Caribbean Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Unfortunately, I Have to Leave this review because this is a black own business, but i ate there on April 27 ,2026 and the food messed me up for a week between Vomiting and pooping liquid for a week ... i will NEVER Eat there nor will recommend this business. read more

The food is well worth the trouble my GPS gave me finding the right location. The jerk chicken is seasoned perfectly, the brown stew chicken melts deliciously in your mouth, and the plantains were right on the perfect balance of starchy and sweet. The rice and peas are my new comfort food. Supper for two with bottled DG sodas came to about $40. Will definitely stop by next time I'm in Hampton! read more

I want to like this place but they've gotten my order wrong too many times. Sometimes it's like they just put food in a box and give it to you and won't have a single thing that you asked for. I probably won't be going back. read more

Prices are high and the jerk chicken was dry. I also had to wait over 30 minutes for my food. When another customer asked what was taking so long, the cashier said they were working on DoorDash orders first, even though they were not in the store. It's not worth it for the price, wait time and quality/quantity. read more

Sun Splash is my favorite food truck that lightens up my weekday! The guys are friendly and the food are delicious. Their lunch special from their food truck are between $12-14(comes with a canned drink) before tax but the portions are fair. So far I've tried the Curry Chicken, Jerk Chicken, Oxtail and Beef Patty. Never had I ever had a bad meal from them. The portion is generous and I always have leftovers for dinner or the next day. Their dishes are flavorful and have a kick to them, and the meat just falls off of the bones! The cabbage are a little overcooked but it was very buttery. read more

Well where do I start? I was, a regular customer UNTIL Lisa treated me as if I was a 2nd class citizen. Here we go... I ordered my food at 1140am. I got to the store at 12n. (Keep in mind my lunch break is from 12 to 1230) This woman gave everybody their food that was in there including people who had walked before she gave me my food. So guess what time I got my food? at 1220pm. She is the worst. She is low key prejudice against her own. After that debacle, she had the audacity to say to me, Sorry bout that. WHAT? HUH? YOU kidding me right? no I will NEVER come back in there because of her. I hope the owner reads this bc she is making your business lose money. What she thinks that my money aint good enough coming from my brown hand? read more

Sunsplash Carribean Restaurant - I told y'all this place don't miss. Who wants to cook on a Friday anyways . Oxtails, Macaroni n cheese, Cabbage Come on through - Caribbean Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Of the few Caribbean restaurants in Hampton, the food here tastes the best and the portions/prices are the most reasonable. I called in an order for a small oxtail plate (added jerk chicken for an additional 3.00). The plates automatically come with cabbage, and rice and peas (beans). No substitutions (I wanted to switch my rice and peas for mac and cheese). I ended up ordering my Mac separately for an additional charge. I got home and dug in, and the meats were cooked to perfection! The oxtail was the most tender I've ever had. Everything was delicious. The mac and cheese was baked, still moist, and had tons of cheese; however, it needed a smidge more salt. read more

Oxtail dinner was tasty. Portions were ample. Food was hot, fresh and served with a smile. Will return when I can afford it(oxtails are now a luxury) read more

I've had Oxtails from many different restaurants, this experience was by far the worst. I honestly dislike writing negative reviews however this is a must. I got oxtails, peas and rice with macaroni and cheese. There was ZERO FLAVOR. The most bland I've ever had. I added my own gravy in a effort to help. (No dice). Even though I've had oxtails that weren't as flavorful as I would have liked at LEAST the meat itself was good. NOPE, I'd say 65% fat. It honestly was the most disappointing meal I've had in a very long time. We like Jamaican food because it's so flavorful right? Well before buying the most expensive dish on the menu here. Do yourself a favor, eat a napkin. Trust me, it'll be the same. read more

Was in mood for some Curry Chicken like a pregnant lady! So I browsed Yelp for some recommendations. Funny, my daughter recommended Sunsplash Caribbean. During these times of social injustice and police brutality against black people, why support a black owned business? Decided to go to the restaurant instead of ordering over the phone because I wanted to check it out for this review. First thing that caught my attention was they had a solid social distancing plan in effect. The restaurant was basically set up to accept take-out orders only. I reviewed the menu and they had some of the best.......oxtails, jerk chicken, curry and a bunch of sides and appitizers. Orders came in a small or large except for the curry, what I wanted in the first place. This was a little disappointing. When placing my order I ask the nice gentleman if he could make a large curry chicken? He had me standby for a second, went to the back and spoke with the chef, came back and said "ok." I paid for a large order, told him I didn't want any rice (cause I'm doing this keto thang) but an extra order or cabage instead. He said ok and placed my order. A few minutes later, the lovely cook came out and ask me exactly what I wanted. She made me feel so special. A few minutes later she came back with my order. Got home and had some of the best, tender curry chicken ever! I could tell it was slowly cooked, fresh and seasoned to perfection. The cabage was crunchy and suculant and the plantains were better than Thanksgiving Yams! Yes, I am a fan! The building could use some upgrades but what Caribbean joint doesn't? Happy Yelping! read more

My review is for the jerk chicken I had and the food my husband had which was oxtails rice and peas and cabbage. My husband stumbled upon this place because the normal Caribbean spot he goes to across Mercury Blvd was closed. This place seems to be fairly new. Anyway he said that the food was some of the best hes had in the area. He is super picky and born to Jamaican parents so if he says its good I trust him. He constantly tries to compare food to Jamaica and most times hes let down especially with jerk. Not this time. He raved about how gpod everything was down to the cabbage. My jerk chicken was extremely flavorful. Its safe to say they have gained new customers read more

Service was great. I had a Jamaican beef Patty and brown stew chicken. Flavors were on point! Tender chicken. Cabbage and rice were so good!

Delicious . Passing through Hampton and my cousin referred.. it didn't disappoin. The food and portions we on point.

The rice and gravy were pretty good but lacked the authentic Caribbean flavor. Oxtail were kinda tough. The cabbage was over cooked and flavorless. Large Oxtail Dinner Special read more

The lady up front was very rude and not pleasant at all. She gave me attitude my whole visit. She was uninviting and very disrespectful. She was very unprofessional. She made my visit the last one. read more

It's somewhat difficult to get to. Very small. The food that I saw was good that my wife ordered.

Theeeee best oxtail I've had in a long time. It was falling off the bone. The rice n peas was flavorful. The plantains were cooked just the way I like them. The cabbage was good too. Will definitely be my new go-to spot when in the area. Thank you!! read more

I've been here a couple of times and I've been pleased with my meal. As a gimme for ordering Caribbean, I always order rice and peas. But lately, I've had to cut carbs from my diet and I was told that rice and peas are one of 2 sides that you get with your meal. If I'm forced to take a full carb side that I cannot switch out, this spot will no longer work for me. How can you tell people on a low carb diet or even a diabetic that they have to take rice with their meal. Give people the option to pick there 2 sides and I'll be back. This is not an issue with some other Caribbean spots in the area. Yes, I could have gone to another place to eat, but I wanted some stewed chick this afternoon. Your food is good, but you have to do better with your meal options. read more

I'm giving a one star because of the companies attitude & small portions. you can tell she's just throwing numbers out there! $30 for 4 small oxtails is insane & according to the people that walked out before us it's not even that good. read more

The jerk chicken was good. Cabbage and rice n peas was ok. The curry chicken was bland.

Yum!! I placed a carry out order over the phone and it was quickly ready. They aren't currently offering the lunch specials as displayed on their website so I got the small dinner oxtail for $13. The portion of meat is a little small compared to other Caribbean spots dinner portions but everything was delicious. read more

My fiancee' and I enjoy visiting Sunsplash regularly. The food is delicious and the service is good. Our favorite dishes are the oxtails, cabbage, and rice and peas. The prices seem to be unstable. Not sure of how much the items cost. We visited the other day and was told the prices had gone up (again). read more

The chicken rice n beans was good well seasoned but everything else that i paid for wasn't, cabbage was soggy the mac n cheese that i bought on the side didnt have any flavor and when i walked in to pick up my food it seamed dead i was planning on dining in but i guess not theres more authentic Caribbean food out there and this place is not it. read more

Honestly there food was some the best Jamaican food your going to get in the area. Best place in Hampton or Newport news easily. With that said the here prices are constantly changing without warning, almost as if they make them up daily, but they don't update the menu prices. Then they never have fresh fish, this is a big issue for a Carribean restaurant to not have fresh fish. Not to mention the owner's attitude about the restaurant's shortcomings. Again, food good, service is trash, and they rarely have the seafood that's on there menu (and by rarely I mean the have had any the last 6 times I've called) read more

Love the service, the food and the restaurant is very clean. The service is top notch and the food is on point st all times.

We finally got to reorder this. This time we did a call ahead order and picked it up! We did order after "normal" dinner time. I think I called it in around 8:15pm. We ordered the Large Curry Goat meal and a Large Oxtail meal. Both meals came with cabbage and rice. We also ordered Mac and Cheese, but they only had one serving left, so my husband and I shared. Which was plenty. There was so much food in both those meals! The food was great! It had so much flavor and the meat was so juicy and moist, not dried out at all. We will definitely be back. We absolutely loved the food. We ate it so quickly that I forgot to get pictures. read more
