"The Ofe Egusi has sooo much flavor! It was packaged tight so the stew and fufu was still, hot. I always try new African restaurants and ordered extra fufu because its so good. I'll certainly order again!"
"Could've had more egusi. Kinda looks like it's been eaten out of. More Spanish than melon seed. Flavor is nice. Looks a bit rushed & just throw in the bowl! Definitely not worth over $20.50 only 4 small pieces of plantain for the price is ridiculous."

"The Chicharrón is extremely over priced for what you get back. Should be no more than $5, it is not a high quality piece of meat. It's very thin and rubbery. I would not order again.
The Arroz con Pollo is a nice size but lacks flavor and its very dry. Not close to a traditional Colombian arroz con pollo.

"This was my first try with african cuisine, and Im so glad I picked this place. The Spinach & Egusi Stew was special with lots of flavor. I ordered with chicken, I received two large drumsticks, they were juicy, fried (not breaded) and it added such a nice crisp and char to the dish. Also a good amount of spice! but it wasnt too much spice for me and im usually a mild spice person. Would reccommend to anyone curious about egusi"

"Jollof rice was soft and soggy, Goat meat was hard, overcooked and bland, chicken was bland with NO seasoning whatsoever. Out of everything the plantain might have been the worst. I could handcount the number of plantains (WHICH WAS 5 DOLLARS) and they were so thin it felt like I was eating a paper towel. Would not touch this Restaurant even if they offered me a meal for FREE.

The Spicy Chicken Caesar Wrap was delicious. The 12 PERi Buffalo Wings & Chips were seasoned and had lots of sauce on them & the chips were crispy! The chicken tasted fresh and it was hot when it arrived . Definitely will be ordering here again! "
"Nandocas choice-Slaw packed separately so it wouldnt be soggy. Food still warm. Mac n cheese is too liquidy and the crunchies were not toasted, so it was an odd texture mix. Slaw light and crunchy, may have dill -recommend. Fries with peri sauce, a must. Diet coke was warm which was a bummer, overall recommend"

"La comida sabe rico, pero lamentablemente mi pedido llegó completamente diferente a lo que ordené. Pedí dos almuerzos diferentes con frijoles y papas fritas, y recibí dos iguales. Además, pagué por un churro de arequipe que nunca recibí. Al llamar al restaurante me informaron que no tenían frijoles ni papas y que simplemente no habían revisado bien la orden, pero nunca nos avisaron ni ofrecieron una solución. Es una lástima porque la comida es rica, pero el servicio y el manejo de la orden dejaron mucho que desear."

I shared with my family and they loved it as well. "
"The red snapper was barely large enough to feed two people AND it was dry/overcooked. I can do much better for $32. Do yourselves a favor and try the Nile's snapper (when it's available) and take some notes. I gave two stars because my husband liked the plantains. They were good, but I prefer a bias cut.

"The "boneless bangus paksiw" (fish stew) that I got in my combo was definitely not boneless, so avoid that if fish bones are a problem for you. That said, the taste was on point! Not too weak, not too strong, but just right. I enjoyed it very much; it just shouldn't have "boneless" in the name. And the portion was generous - I ordered a Combination Plate with the chicken inasal and that fish stew, and I got close to a half chicken and (it looked like) most of the fish other than the head and collar. So that combo plate is an excellent value for the money. I agree with the reviewer who said the garlic rice could use more garlic, but overall this combo plate was a good time, and I made two meals out of it.
The Suman Sa Lihiya could easily be split between either two or four people. Definitely too much for one person to eat in one sitting. It comes with toppings/dippers of a brown sugar based sauce and some shredded coconut. This seemed to be the most "basic" flavor of suman from what I could tell, and I liked it, so I'll be trying other flavors.
The Lumpia Sariwa pictured here was fresh and seemed well executed. It turned out not to be a wow for me, but I could tell it was a matter of "I don't particularly care about this dish" rather than anything wrong.
Overall, as you can see there were some minor imperfections, but overall it was very worth it, and I will be trying more dishes here. This was my first time trying Filipino food, and I'm glad I picked this place. "
"
First things first, the crunchy pork belly was a game-changer. The moment I took a bite, I was greeted with a satisfying crunch that gave way to tender and succulent meat. The flavor was out of this world, with a perfect balance of savory and slightly sweet notes. Each piece was expertly cooked and seasoned to perfection. It was like a party in my mouth!
Now, let's talk about the tocino sweet pork. This dish was a delightful explosion of flavors. The pork was incredibly tender and had a beautiful caramelized glaze that added a touch of sweetness. The combination of the savory meat, the sticky glaze, and the fluffy rice was pure magic. And let's not forget the perfectly cooked eggs on top, adding a creamy richness to the dish.
The pork belly was beautifully arranged with a garnish of fresh herbs, while the tocino sweet pork was served with a side of sunny side eggs and fresh tomatoes that added a tangy contrast to the sweetness of the meat.
I can't recommend Imas Kitchen enough. If you're a fan of crispy, flavorful pork belly and mouthwatering tocino sweet pork, this is the place for you. It's a culinary adventure that will leave you craving for more."

"As a Nigerian, this was my first time trying Ghanaian food, and l decided to go with 3. Waakye because l have heard great things about it and wow it was delicious, fresh, the beef was bursting with flavour and the portion was great.......l was so full, l had to take off my pants to create space for the rest of the food!!! My fellow Nigerians, and others please don't be hesitant to try Ghanaian food, it's very delicious 😋. Next time though l will get extra stew then also try their fufu and light soup."

"This restaurant is only good if you go in person. If you do take out, be prepared for significantly smaller portions (salad for example) , the bread for the tomato con pan was stale. The lamb skewer only came with one when pics adverised two. The food is good but to get your money's worth or full value, go in person as it is not the same value for takeout. "

"Food was fantastic but portions were small. Also orders were not labeled, so may not be best place if you have a big group order like we did."
"I love the food here, everything tastes good, and is always fresh, but the portion for the Double Scoop - Poke Bowl is so small, especially considering the price. The tuna portiom was even smallet than the tofu, and almost 20 dollars for what is the size of a small fried rice is insane. This place is good for takeout but I wouldn't order if you don't wanna pay an arm and a leg."

"Relleno de Mofongo pork inside is very tasty😋"
"Secondly we ordered a mofongo w the cheese sauce and carne frita w extra carne and specifically put NO LETTUCE due to the viruses going around on lettuce. The food... served on a bed of lettuce and no cheese sauce which we paid extra for. The carne was tough and there were tons of pieces that were mostly bones.
We also ordered a jibarito w arroz con gondules. The jibarito was borderline burnt but still floppy and soggy. The rice had good flavor but then I bit into a bone in the rice.
We also ordered tostones which were absolutely burnt to hell and also soggy and cold.
