Yassa African Restaurant

"Real authentic food. I love The Fish was sweet and had a special taste to it with the fresh crunchy veggies... boom :) The rice was a bit dry and could've been a little more portion but overall the flavor and freshness was amazing I enjoyed can't wait to order again. 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 Djolof rice was just ok. "

"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!"

"Came in a super small 4 oz container for $25. And did not include my beverage. Items are always missing or the soup is filled with bones, fat or the heart, liver and other organs. There’s literally no meat in this pepper soup. Pounded yam never fresh always had bits of old, lumpy, hard recycled yam they threw in a new batch. Extremely disappointing. "

"the oxtail is so delicious its my staple dish from here they are always full of flavor and very tender i just wish they gave more than 2 or 3 pieces in a portion or that they were bigger but with prices i undrstand i just wish they had an option where u can add on to get extra oxtail and extra gray when ordering with wakyee. The waakye is very flavorful and not as dry as other restaurants however i have ordered the suya chicken multiple times (4-6 times) and literally each time i recieved it differently..a couple times i was given a completely different protein just with suya powder on it and the other times the chicken was cooked different and they use different ckicken as wel (party wings vs drums. etc) The egusi stew and fufu is delicious, I have also order that dish multiple times and it is ALWAYS PERFECT the blended herbs with the fish is 🔥 always delicious. I want to give it 5 because the flavor is great however the inconsistency can be very disappointing when ordering and not knowing if it will be correct or not."

"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 taste of the Meat Pie was good, I loved the Exotic Ginger Pineapple Juice tastes fresh, the Fufu & Pounded Yam Okra does look really different from the video of the guy in store it tastes okay, the Snail Stew is good and the side of fried rice is okay too although it tastes like it needs a bit more seasoning. Good portion, I would recommend it and order something's again. Added a picture of the video and my order"

However, it was thee smallest portion of fish (maybe 4oz?)which was unexpected for the price($51!) the seafood gumbo was ok but I couldn't tell if it was fish in the gumbo or chicken, and there was no other seafood in it. The tuna was great, the sautéed spinach was delish, and the truffle potatoes were amazing!"
