This was my first visit to this place and I saw they had a special on king curry fish! Really exceeded my expectations. I've had curry fish around the area and it was nothing like this place! So good!!! Will be coming back again very soon. :) read more

I went there from a recommendation of Hungry Black man pod cast. To me, the food was excellent, I had the lamb fried rice, the curry chicken roti was to die for and the roast duck. Within a week, I was back again. This place is a neighborhood Gem, I highly recommend it, its definitely a 5 out of 5. read more

Please take more effort in making your wontons better. Every time we come jn we hope it will be a different texture. It is always rock hard and so stiff . Quality of food should be your top priority as well as cleanliness read more

Very interesting place. It is the proverbial hole in the wall and is hard to find. It looks sort of like a nightclub (and I think it doubles as one), and at the same time, a restaurant and banquet hall. The people are Trinidadian/Chinese, so you get a variety of choices on the menu. They are very friendly and attentive and open to questions. I have tried a couple of different dishes, but I really like the Chicken in Da Ruff, which seems to be a very popular item off their menu. It is very affordable and you'll have enough for a dinner portion. It's a bit far for me and I think I prefer a buffet lunch option, which gives me the chance to try a variety of different dishes, so for this, I give it 3 stars instead of 4. I think they'd do great if they decided to do a lunch buffet, but I am not sure if they ever will. It's worth suggesting. read more

The Hibiscus - Curry Chicken with Dahl. - Chinese Near Me - Sunrise, Florida

This was such a shit show- super ran down and the service sucked. Food was super oily and greasy and tasted like fast food

so ive been hearing this place got the best caribbean chinese food. Well i ordered duck and they brought me chicken , chicken backs and necks to be exact and thought i wouldnt know the difference. The waitress insisted, then she said she was sorry and asked if i wanted anything else. I got the special fried rice which was just ok, but I was in the toilet all night! anyway, i will not be giving this place another chance, neither should u read more

If you are looking for Caribbean Chinese food, ya reach. The food is great. Only Chinese I get now.

DISGUSTING FOOD! These people served us spoil curry duck. They brought 2 dishes out (the spoil duck) then 15 minutes later brought one person's food out, plus they forgot the chicken. Other people came in before us and got the same food we ordered before we did. Terrible management! How dare you serve your customers spoiled food. SHAME ON YOU! read more

I was in the mood for this music but jeeze it was hotttttttttttt like I was sweating like crazy but ok music

So I went here with a friend of mine for dine-in. The place is expansive and yes...sort of crappy looking. It's apparently a nightclub, restaurant, and bar. Crazy combination since the second I entered what I'm assuming is the main entrance, I had no clue where to go. After mistaking fellow customers for the wait staff, they told me to sit anywhere because they were waiting for their food too lol. Now I'm not quite sure that the waitstaff is on island time, but I do know that it's crazy having one waitress/bartender man both the restaurant and bar (they're separated). Several times I saw some old guy come into the restaurant, look around, then go back to I think the kitchen. If that's the manager, he's gotta do something because two other customers (two guys) and a big family both complained about the wait for service and their food. I'm going to be biased and give the waitress a pass because she was apologetic throughout the whole thing and very sweet (not to mention beautiful lol). As for the food, it's Trinidadian/Chinese...and the Chinese is basically a lot of Chinese American type food. Friend of mine had the Fried Pork in Black Bean Sauce...which is basically the same as you can get in any other Chinese restaurant. I got the Cha Chi Kai Fan which is Chinese Fried Chicken (if you're familiar, it's the fried chicken with crispy paper thin skin which you can really only get at authentic Chinese restaurants...this one was an imitation) with char siu (bigger chunks also like at Chinese restaurants) over vegetable fried rice. My dish was decent but mainly best for the price. They also have Trinidadian staples like roti, different curries, and some dishes I've never heard of like Fried Banga Mary and Geera Pork. Like others have suggested, go for take out. read more

Gross! Gross! Gross! ALERT ALERT: Here is the link to their food and inspection violations: http://www.city-data.com/fl-restaurants/HIBISCUS-THE.html If I would have seen this I would never have gone! First off, the servers are so slow and they don't understand the English language that well and couldn't figure out what we were ordering so our order came out totally wrong. Second, when the food finally came out it was wrong and tasted horrible as if they don't clean their dishes in the back or cook everything in one pot or pan. When we asked to speak with the manager he was an Indian guy that was so rude and told us that we should be lucky he doesn't charge us more for taking up the time of the server!! Finally, Here is the warning: Unreal. Never go here unless you like the gross taste of curry, Chinese, and Caribbean flavor in one bite as well as the worst service in the world!! read more

Was looking for Trinidadian food while visiting the area and found this place (did not read any reviews before visiting). Decent place, decent food, decent service, but would not pay a return visit. Just did not have that "wow" factor in any category that makes one pine to go back. read more

Food is awesome !! Service sucks though. Only thing keeps me going back is authentic taste of the food!

Hibiscus is a lot of things, hopefully I can tell you about some of the things I feel it is. The vegetarian fried rice is the best that this place offers. I tried the vegetable Lou mein but it had a really horrible smell of fish or chicken oil or fat or something, I sense cross contamination in some of their dishes. The Hibiscus is separated into 3 parts. If you don't have a gps, you may get lost. The fried rice we had was very tasty, I would just go back for that if I happen to be in the area. The vegetable lou mein, like I said reeked of some animal product oil or maybe they don't use separate woks to cook their food in, I actually gaged at the smell of the vegetable Lou mein. I couldn't eat it, and ended up throwing it all away, what a waste. I have not tried the other food that they offer just because I got turned off by the vegetable Lou mein. Vegetarians beware of this. The Hibiscus is in 3 parts, the hall, the restaurant, and the lounge/ food pick up. I feel that the restaurant aspect of the hibiscus is okay but can use some updating. Some more nicer decor would add a nicer touch. The waitress seems very nice and she was very social. She kept the conversation going and have a very unique personality. The hall looks small compares to some halls I've known, but it is a good idea for the business. The exterior of hibiscus needs work and updating. It seems rundown from the outside. The bar/ lounge area is very crazy. First I want to talk about 2 women who are usually there, one of the bartenders who has no hair is very rude. She looks like she has no customer service skills and just stares at you from time to time. She is very Un professional, maybe some customer service training would really do her well and maybe give hibiscus a better name. The other lady is shorter and I only see her at the bar area and she is also rude and needs customer service skills. The feel of the bar would be better if the employees working there made it feel welcoming. Other than this. The location of Hibiscus is very tricky. It's all the way in the back of a plaza and some may even get lost without having a good gps. I give this place 2 stars because of the things I mentioned. The friendly waitress gets a 5 star. If they step their game up with the things I noted, I may give them another try. Not going to be going here anytime soon. read more

I've been to Hibiscus before, and the food itself is pretty good. However, as most Caribbean restaurants, they severely lack customer service. Honestly, usually I would say it's just the typical long wait and stink attitudes. But I was there last Thursday to pick up some food, and I experienced the most disgusting thing. The guy behind the counter taking orders, and serving customers Chris cursed out a female customer and tried to put his hands on her because he messed up her order. In what world?! She wasn't even being rude, at all. She simply wanted him to take responsibility. She was going to leave with her food how it was. As if that weren't disgusting enough, the 9 + grown ass men who usually sit in the back corner of the restaurant downing drinks did not even say one thing to this young guy. Scum. They are literally scum. Not one of them stood up and told this guy that he was dead wrong, or that he should have respect for women. I will never go back there, and I don't recommend anyone else do either. read more

The Hibiscus Restaurant and Sports Bar offers a very extensive menu. The food is deliciously prepared by experienced chefs and the portions huge. The staff are friendly, but service is often slow. Don't go to Hibiscus if you are really pressed for time; best to wait until you aren't rushed so you can really enjoy the experience. Have lunch here and you'll probably not have to eat the rest of the day. Only problem will be your desire to nap after filling your belly when you should be getting back to work. Every time I go I take along new friends or coworkers and they have always given positive comments. read more

Ok guys, after reading the other reviews I see that most of the reviewers are looking at Hibiscus from an American dining perspective, and this I believe, does it a grave injustice. First of all, you cannot judge this restaurant by the American 1 to 5 Star standard rating. I've lived all over the world and have been to all types of eating establishments, from street corner food carts to fine dining 5 star restaurants. Hibiscus is what it is. Hibiscus is unique. It brings the flavor of authentic Caribbean Chinese / Indian food to South Florida. This is extremely rare and I know people who drive great distances to buy food here. You just don't get it anywhere else. For the most part the quality of the food is consistent, and in my humble opinion, the best Chinese food in town. The decor very basic, the cleanliness is ok, and some may even call it a "Dive" or "Rumshop". Again, it is what it is. This would be the norm in the Caribbean, hence, Authentic Caribbean Bar / Restaurant. Hibiscus caters to this niche. The service is, by the American standard, lousy. Sometimes you will have to wait, and sometimes you may not be able to find a waitress at all. In this case you have to improvise. On occasion the Soca or Indian music in the sports bar may be too loud, but this is what makes it authentic. My favorite dishes are: Fried Shrimp Wontons, Pork Fried Rice, Chicken in the Rough, Cha-Su Pork, and Shrimp Chow-ming, awesome! Their Indian food is fine, but I would go to Joys Roti Delight if I wanted the best (another "Rumshop" establishment). Cheers, Bruce read more

Listen up... Hibicus is a divey place. I mean, it's not dirty or anything, just divey. And the waitresses are slow and kinda bland almost like their on "Caribbean Time," which would be fine if we were in the Caribbean; however, their food is BOSS... BOSS, I TELL U!!! It's Trinidadian/Chinese, and if you think that's a weird combination, you may be right, but this food is HELLA GOOD! I mean, you may need to Google some translations, cuz I'm not Trinidian, so I have no freakin idea what half the stuff was on the menu, but the Chicken in Da Ruff is my ABSOLUTELY FAV! It's fried chicken with some type of sauce over it and it comes with veggie friend rice. They give you enough chicken and rice to feed a small village, and if you're greedy like me, you'll be very happy about that cuz the left overs are twice as good the next day. The Pork in Da Ruff is great as well. Kinda like Chinese BBQ spare ribs but with a better sauce. Oh, and for an appetizer, do yourself a HUGE favor and grab some fried calamari. It's so delish! Crunchy and tender @ the same time without being too gummy or chewy and topped with a spicy pepper sauce. I'm getting hungry so I'm gonna stop now. Ok... so muster up some patience for the dry-ass, no personality having, incredibly slow/forgetful waitress and go get to HIbicus and have yourself some Chicken in Da Ruff on me (well... not really on me. I'm not gonna pay for it or anything, but GO FORTH)! You're welcome! read more

The staff is rude. .After I was given the wrong food I asked to speak to the owner and was brushed off by the owner herself... Your establishment will never see another penny out of my pocket and I will never recommend this place to anyone!!!! #Horrible food and horrible customer service. read more

They have great, delicious food. I order the chicken curry with roti and also beef in de ruff regularly. Always delicious! It's like a dive bar inside, but I do not mind that. read more

we got there about 9pm on sat aug 5 2017, the bar area was way too crowded I am sure laws were violated as far as safety is concerned. the restaurant area seats about 30 people but yet it took about 3 hours and 15 minutes to get our food then we had to wait about 10 more minutes after the food was served for plates and utensils. the food had no flavor. the beers were warm there was hardly any cold air blowing. we were just sitting there sweating. places like this makes you appreciate Chillis, Outback, Applebees and so on. People were outside drinking and urinating in the parking lot....very GHETTO. The owner Jayson Babolaal is a piece of shit, he is on FB verbally abusing and bullying customers for leaving a negative review of his so called restaurant. The place needs to be renovated, if the outside looks like that can you imagine the kitchen? read the health inspection report. 39 violations just in late 2016. and every year before that there were numerous health violations. its all public records Mr Babolall. read more
