    #3 Combo. Red Snapper, 3 dumplings, plantain $15.50
    Mardory V.

    Very legit food that I deliberately travel from Manhattan for. I think the best way to start the day is with fish. We'll talk about how to end the day proper, another time. They serve a good portion size entree. Their plantains are good and they have fresher protein selections than others. The service is friendly, and the place is in a highly accessible area next to a major highway. They do have a smallish parking area, and street parking is very limited. Keep that in mind and call in your order if you know what you'd like in advance! Don't forget to order your drink!!!

    Caribbean food on point! Love everything in here! Cheap as well! Location: It is located in Baychester, Bronx. The interior is okay. Didn't stay here, just order and go! Service: no interaction. Just order and go! Food: Everything was so delicious and good! FRIED CHICKEN: crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, damn i can eat whole box! So good! JERK CHICKEN: the sauce on the chicken is so delicious and perfect amount of spice! Comes with fresh veggies! OXTAIL: damn this is my favorite! Huge serving and the oxtail was cooked perfectly! Price rating: 7/10, the price matches all the deliciousness! Not bad for all the goodness. I will be back here to try their Ackee! But get the oxtail if you can! So delicious!

    Heard a lot about Thai place but never got the chance to visit because am not in the BX often; I happened to be about ten minutes away from the restaurant and made it my business to check them out; COVID measures are in place, hand sanitizers are available as you walk in and masks are require for entry . I got the fish fritters, dumpling and a drink. The fish fritters are amazing, soft, fresh with a nice kick of peppers . I wasn't impressed with the dumplings but they were good. I got a natural beet, ginger & sea moss drink that was ok.

    If you've read many of my recent reviews, you'll see that I'm new to the Bronx area. Never heard of this establishment until my boyfriend recommended it. At the time he first mentioned it, it was called Dumpling Shop. One weekday morning, we decided to run in for breakfast. To our surprise, the name had been changed to "The Dumpling Cove". Its a very bright, modern, and beautiful establishment. I believe we went in at about 7am and even then, the line was growing. Service is quick, easy, and courteous. The main thing I loved about this place was THE MENU. Not only is it brightly lit, displayed appropriately with pricing, but the actually sell value meals. At a typical Jamaican restaurant, they might nickle-and-dime you for items that would otherwise, make a complete meal. Not at Dumpling Cove, you get a full value meal for a decent price - its called the "dumpling combo". The menu features a wide selection of Jamaican favorites (breakfast, lunch, and supper) and they had everything available for purchase. When we got to the register, I opted to go with the Callaloo and saltfish meal (Yes, I said a meal). My boyfriend got the ackee and sailfish. With the meal, you are offered a choice of fried or boiled dumplings; many shops I've been to before typically charge you extra for such items. If that wasn't offered, I would've protested that their name be changed lol. I also purchased some saltfish fritters on the side. I absolutely loved my callaloo and sailfish. It tasted as if I back home in Jamaica; The fish was fresh and cooked well, and the dumplings were light and fluffy. My only complaint was the excess amount of oil. By the time I got to work (15mins away), oil had leaked out of the brown bag and into the plastic bag. There was oil everywhere and my hands smelled like fish. It would've been nice if they could prevent that some way or drain the food when portioning out for the customer. I did not like the saltifish fritters, they were spicy and contained too much curry seasoning. My boyfriend loved his meal however, he had the same excess oil. Cons - only con was the lack of parking. It gets packed in this place and parking is slim to none. Be mindful of double parking as well, may be best to have a partner tag along. Otherwise, I will be returning and recommending to others.

    This was the Dumplin Shop. New name, same great food. West Indian/Caribbean fried fish, salt fish, oxtail, rice and peas etc. the usual. Food is very good but the fried dumplin with fish is fantastic. That's what the line is for. Turnover is good so you will always have fresh fried fish. It does however look like they are trying something new. All you can eat Sunday Brunch, karaoke night and special occasion events. There is a separate dining area for eat in with a full bar. Outdoor dining area for when it's not too brisk, ample lightening. Located next to 95 on a wide residential block with good parking. I drove by on my way to the airport and there was a line at 6 in the morning so they have an early start. Ladies that work in the restaurant are lovely. They are like your favorite aunts.

    Are there vegan offerings?

    Only their porridges (which probably have milk) and their sides will be vegan/vegetarian. You're probably better off going to a spot that caters vegan diners also. There's plenty of West Indian restaurants like that, like Feroza's Roti where you can… Read more

    Ambiance 10/10 When I first stepped foot into the…read morerestaurant, I instantly got this retro vibe. I just love the color of the seating and how comfortable the atmosphere was. Service: 10/10 The employees were very friendly. They were kind and had a nice smile on their face. That is what customers should be looking for when being approached by waiters or waitresses. They were very helpful with the menu option. Food: 10/10 I started with their hot chocolate with whipped cream. Man! It was delicious. The whipped cream, by the way, is optional. It does not automatically come with the hot chocolate. The texture was just right. I picked a good day to drink hot chocolate. I have also ordered their standard Belgian Waffles with a side of sausage. I have to admit, I was slightly disappointed with the quantity of the waffle. They only give you one. Additionally, you'd have to ask for the butter. Butter does not automatically come with the waffles. The syrup is or at least should already be on the table once you're seated. Even though I only got one waffle, it was delicious. Furthermore, you have the option to add whipped cream to the waffles. They will add the whipped cream to the waffles for you. The same can be applied to pancakes. When all is said and done, they will offer you a blow-pop lollipop. Overall 9.5/10 I will be back. I am unsure if they do reservations. It wouldn't be surprising if they did. Their menu options and pricing were reasonable.

    The staff is friendly, the food is good. Portions are satisfying and the prices are reasonable. The…read moreambiance is full fledged diner.

That attention to detail was appreciated. The crowd was mature and respectful, creating a comfortable atmosphere. The music selection offered a nice variety and complemented the brunch experience well. Service: Our waiter was friendly and attentive. When I requested lemon and an additional brunch menu so my husband and I could each review the options, I learned that only one menu was provided for the table. Since I tend to take my time deciding what to order, having a second menu would have made the process much easier and more enjoyable for both of us. I asked for the menu and lemon he said he would come back and he NEVER did.. we had to ask for it twice . And at the time of ordering our meals it's then when they beamy us the lemons to squeeze into our glass of water. Food: I had the chicken and waffles . Nothing difficult to put together. However if you are going to state on your menu that it's chicharrón de pollo was bland no taste I had to ask for lime to give it some salty mess to it. My husband steak and eggs which came with rice. Steak was chewy he said it was ok nothing to brag. Over all I will give this place a 6 out of 10

The place had many tables filled so I would highly suggest going there with a reservation beforehand. Despite there being a good amount of people service was quick and all servers were very kind and attentive. Our waiter Steven made sure we were taken care of and everyone else were very kind. Our drinks arrived promptly, I will say there was some inconsistency in how our drinks were mixed since one of the vanilla drinks was sweeter than the other but other than that all drinks were delicious. The food on both times that I've been here was delicious with everyone at the table enjoying their meal. I've yet to have a bad experience here. I would say if you are debating trying the restaurant, take the opportunity to as you won't be disappointed.
