Amazing hot Buffet vegan comfort soul food! Super tasty and spice was on point (quite often the season of vegan food could get over spicy). As the food goes by weight, be a prescriptive with the amount of food you want to try. Staff is friendly and there are so many sweet and smoothie options. Definitely will get back as the “chicken” jerk and drumstick were so good. There is a park close by that is a great option to eat besides space inside the store. I got a carrot cake and a juice to go and check was about $21.

I visited this restaurant for the first time yesterday. The food looked delicious, and it was. However, there was no menu, and when I asked about the dishes that weren't obvious, the woman behind the counter seemed bothered. I could feel her frustration, and a line started to form. I didn't want to hold anyone up, so I quickly placed my order. If this was any other establishment, there would be a visible menu listing the specials of the day, the food would be labeled, and the customer service would have been stellar. I'll never understand why people who get annoyed easily or aren't willing to help work in customer service.

The food here is everything!! Best vegan “meat” in nyc. Perfectly spiced and the texture is perfect. It won’t get rubbery like other vegan food spots. Recently started getting juices and smoothies here too!! And oh my god, the juice guy is a genius! I’ve just been telling him one or two ingredients I’m feeling and he says he knows exactly what to make and then makes magic. Highly recommend 💯

Incredible vegan food! Open early to get hot savory food by the pound or a salad bar or order off the menu. Amazing taste, texture, and spice and a wide assortment of items and flavors available from the hot bar. Mushroom and soy based protein options. Bread pudding was also delicious and super moist. Would definitely recommend and hope to go back on a future trip.

$27.50 for two people and a cup of coffee isn’t bad. The coffee is great and the service was swift!

The food was wonderful! I had shrimp roti, the curry was spicy and flavorful, the shrimp were large and the portion size was generous. The hibiscus lemonade was so delicious, I would drink that everyday if I could. I took yummy coconut pineapple cake home for dessert. Service was friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is very small, could seat about nine people family style, at one long table. The four stars for atmosphere instead of five is for the heat. On a hot day as it was, the air conditioning was not adequate for comfort. They are planning to put in more fans soon, which would help.

Absolutely delicious curry chicken Roti (Buss Up)! I believe he may have handmade the Roti right while I was waiting. Oh em gee! Large portion, spicy and well seasoned! A+

I first came across this restaurant’s food at an event I attended. A few of their dishes was a part of the catering. Their food was absolutely delicious I had the yams, fried whitening fish, and collard greens. Let me warn you if their collard greens were SPICY. I don’t do spices. Even many of the people who love spices also stated it was to spicy. I was in the area and decided to order for lunch. I visited the restaurant in October 2023. I placed my order online so it could be ready for pick up when I arrived. I was disappointed to learn the fried whiting fish is only available through their catering menu. I decided to order the stewed chicken, coconut peas and rice, steamed cabbage, yams, macaroni & cheese, cornbread, and lemonade. When I arrived to the restaurant, I noticed it’s not a sit-down restaurant. Seems like you pick up and go. I was greeted by staff told them I was picking up and they let me know my order was ready. I was so eager to dig into my food. I was expecting the Caribbean flavors and was let down and disappointed in my meal. I even shared with my coworker for her opinion. The best thing out of everything I ordered was the yams and lemonade. The chicken was bland and had no flavor. The peas and rice was okay. The cabbage wasn’t cooked and still too crunchy again no seasoning/flavor. The macaroni and cheese wasn’t good. The cornbread was okay, it has pineapple in it. I don’t think I’ll return and if I do it’ll only be for the yams and lemonade. This didn’t taste anything like Caribbean cuisine. The portion of the food was also really small. My total was about $36.00. This location is accessible via public transportation.

I went there on May 12, 2024. I picked up some Mother's Day food for my Aunt. I ordered oxtails with okra and white rice. I got my Aunt oxtails with coconut rice, peas, and sweet potatoes. The food had wonderful flavor and you could tell they made their browning sauce because it was a little too sweet for me, that and the fact the plates were too small is the only thing I didn't like. My Aunt enjoyed every bite. Donald was so nice over the phone and when I got there. I would go there again. They get a 🤩 emoji from me. Excuse the photo we started eating then I remember to take a picture.

When walking in you notice how small it is there are a few tables for you to sir down and eat. You are instantly greeted when coming in. I wanted the shrimp roti but was told that they were sold out so I got the oxtail platter with peas and rice and cabbage. This did not disappoint the flavor and spices were there and it was delicious. If you are looking for some delicious carribean food please go here. You will get full off of their portions.

I know some of the workers there on a first name basis. They are sweet and kind and fast. They are not cheap at all with the food and my food always comes hot still. Thank you for serving our Community China King.

As a Vegetarian is hard to find options, but I'm happy to stumble across this place . I think they'll be seeing a lot of me! Great prices and menu options for all palettes guaranteed!! This is structuring strictly a take out place. You cannot sit and eat.

The food is great and usually orders via door dash. But no longer available 😢. Postmates and ubereats charge almost 45 bucks for what I usually order, which cost be 26 or doordash. I'm not sure who markets the price on these apps, but they gauging prices. So if im not around the store, I won't be getting anymore

The whiting over rice and carrot cake were so delicious. 😋 One of the best spots in East Harlem for take out. He guys behind the counter are friendly and professional. It's clean and convenient. Plenty parking right on the block.

The food is pretty decent, but the customer service is god awful, i don’t know which worker in the front it is but they have a terrible attitude and are annoying to deal with.

I have been there a few times, and literally every time I leave, I never get what I ordered. They just don’t pay attention, so check your food before you leave.

Seafood at here is so incredible fresh. You order then the chef cooked in front of you. Mussel, crab legs, sea bass, scallops, jumbo shrimp, salmon… they have everything. And option to choose your favorite vegetables. Their grilled seafood is so delicious. Healthy option for steaming as well. Their homemade olive is a must try!! The chef is so nice and attentive. I recommend everyone!!

I recently visited City Fresh Market and had the pleasure of trying their steamed salmon and shrimp with vegetables, and I have to say it was absolutely delicious! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the shrimp were juicy and flavorful. The vegetables were also fresh and cooked to perfection. I appreciated how healthy and satisfying the meal was, and the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend trying the seafood dishes at City Fresh Market, it exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be coming back for more.!!!

Clean and professional place, but what I don’t like is one of the guys cleaning while I’m eating. Please stop doing that, but other than that the area was clean the staff behind the counter were nice and professional. I will come again again.

Surprisingly a very clean location with friendly staff that make accurate, tasty orders. We had to come here as soon as the Mexican Pizza made a return. It was as good as I remember it being! Cheesy, crunchy, and savory. Mobile ordering is fast and easy as well.

Clean and pleasant eatery with plenty of seating space. Decent food and prices. Several choices for hot sauce. Like the chihuahua, yo quiero Taco Bell!
Daniel Donnelly - a year ago

The food is always made well, the workers are great, but the prices are so beyond ludicrous that I can’t even afford Taco Bell. The $5.99 combo that you can get all over Manhattan is $13.99 here! WHAT?! I’ll get a combo in midtown and bring it home to reheat. A shame that this franchise owner doesn’t understand that he’s costing himself sales by pricing out his own customers in the community.

The folks here are some of the hardest working people I have ever seen. The mangers are great and they run a smooth operation even at 3:30am. Great t-bell!
