40 Kodiak Crescent Unit 6, North York, ON M3J 3G5, Canada
Seriously, not enough people talk about the bbq chicken! It's fried chicken covered in bbq sauce. I ordered it for lunch yesterday, and it was SO GOOD that I had to return today to order it again! The salad and coleslaw that it came with was SUPER fresh; everything was delicious. The owner is always very polite and attentive. So glad that I found this place. I work in the area and have already started telling my co-workers about Gold Star.
Really nice, clean and delectable food; I had oxtail with rice & peas and my friend had fried chicken with rice & peas and we both said, the food was really tasty and well done. I texted my brother the business card for him to experience the same. Friendly service and easy parking. Thanks.
A place that will not win any awards on decor, but really great Carribean food. Ordered the ackee and saltfish while my daughter had some of the best jerk chicken she has ever had! Patties were great as well.
Tried the curry goat, oxtail and the plantains. Meats were super tender and flavorful, coleslaw was yummy and my favourite plantains were crisp on the edges and sweet and soft inside. Definitely recommend coming here!
Came in on a busy day for them so did not mind the wait. Good area, vibe and the food is what you expect with good portion and veg on the side. Did not take photos but their coleslaw is good too. I ordered a reg. Jerk chicken and was not dry, really juicy 5/5 and a reg. Curry Goat. The reason I took a star off was because the sauce was not there! Pretty disappointed with that but atleast it had nice flavour. 4/5 for that. X2 reg dishes came out to $32.
It was by the grace of God I found this little gem not too far from my work. The wide variety of available items on the menu had my mouth watering, there were just too many choices to choose from (which means I will definitely be a returning customer so I can partake of each item). I chose to go with the snapper, it wasn't available though, only because its made FRESH TO ORDER. That was even better news to me, because now I can call ahead and order to have it ready to pickup or dine in. I opted to go with the OXTAIL, which was very moist, fall off the bone and was complemented well with the fresh salad and coleslaw. There are also a wide variety of tropical cold beverages available (also beers, etc.) As a kicker, they also serve porridge in the morning which is my go-to feel good, feel full, breakfast to get you through the day. I highly recommend Goldstar Caribbean Restaurant and Bar
Food was superb. Restaurant is clean and cozy and has a lot of food variety. Service is kind.
I highly recommend Goldstar for their delicious food and friendly service! I came in for a quick bite to eat around lunchtime, and ordered the special. It was incredibly flavourful and amazing value for the price. I look forward to coming back again and again!
Worst Carribean food in Toronto. Went there seeing the good Google rating. But the food was far from fresh, most likely the food was cooked a couple of days ago and just microwaved before serving it to us. Part of the food was cold and some part hot, dry and tasteless.
Great place to bring friends and family , food is awesome restaurants is clean prices are complimentary I keep coming again and again and will come back again , brought also my best friend here and he love to food. Before I have eaten Snapper fish and Callalou and Ackee and salted fish and my friend had oxtail. I was in the store today and I noticed a couple came in today and where very moody, they where serve with the appreciation of the host, however it seems like they left a comment that was filled with flawed implications- I m referring specifically to (Tauhid Belal Khan) in rating section. As a witness in the store at the same time as them they had other motives. A lot of customers come here including myself and use the takeout orders no issues or very minor. The couple had other problems. However they did eat all the food only thing they left was the vegetables.
Amazing food! Curry and jerk chicken were fantastic!
Amazing tasting Jamaican food! Authentic and delicious.
This is a very comfortable environment, great food, great service, great music... Able to have a conversation as the environment is not loud as other Caribbean Restaurants. Thank you for a good afternoon.
Oxtail, rice and peas, coleslaw, and the mac salad were soo good !
Chicken was not very fresh, ordered the bbq chicken and it was battered and deep fried which was not expected. Chicken had very little meat and I got the large. Coleslaw legitimately went bad, had a spoiled taste and texture. Gave 3 instead of 2 because I understand I came between lunch and dinner. Rice was good.
Very good and tasty food, friendly staff.
Food tastes great and service was very polite and positive!
Fall of the bone chicken. Flavour in every bite. Top lunch spot
Very good restaurant best Jamaican restaurant I have experienced here in Toronto
Sandra is one hell of a cook and so friendly with a great laugh!! Please head in and support great food and a great laugh!!
We had a delicious meal with friends. The restaurant has a really cozy feeling, and the service was always rendered with a big smile. Vegan options were delicious too!
WOW!!! I ve eaten at dozens of Carribean restaurants across the GTA. Nobody does Oxtail or Curry Chicken as good! This place just became my go to spot!! Food
This place doesnt mess around. Chicken is top tier.
This place is a rip off. Charged us way too much. And the chicken was so dry. This place is not worth your money. Not a well run or trustworthy establishment.
The food here never fails. I always order the curry goat and the owner always makes it with love. Thank you
Great portions and yummy fresh food
I cannot express how much this place is amazing! When we were down to see a concert and it got shut down because of the weather, they graciously let us in, had some fantastic beers, and some of the most outstanding food Ive had in 10 years, and Ive been dating in a Caribbean family for a while. If you are ever in the area make sure not to miss this place, and Ill definitely be back soon because I want some stew peas
Food was excellent. Had to call and give my compliments to the chef. Customer service is wonderful too. Will be my go to for Jamaican food.
Everything was incredible and the value for your dollar is waaaaaay better than any other Carribean restaurant that I have been to in the area Vegetarian options: the salad and the red beans and rice were KILLER! A small meal was enough for 2 meals!
Jerk chicken is amazing, bursting with flavour and the rice is cooked to perfection. Highly recommended checking this place out. You won t be disappointed
The food was amazing! There was flavor in every bite! I will definitely return!
Wow stumbled upon this one. Working in the area. Beautiful ladies putting down amazing Caribbean cuisine. How do they do it.... love... you can taste it... if your brave ask to try the hot sauce... oh my.. will be back again
Food was delightful, hidden gem
Enjoyed the meal here in a hidden restaurant. Good value food, had the medium jerk chicken, can t go wrong Food : 5/5
It was my first time visiting this place, and it was really nice. The lady working there was super nice and friendly - customer service 10/10. I got Ackee and saltfish with rice and peas, and it was very delicious. The food was freshly prepared and very flavourful. If you love Caribbean food and homemade taste, this is the place to go. I will be visiting again to try other items on the menu.
Some of the best jerk chicken in Toronto. Incredible taste and falls right off the bone. Rice is on point and the service is great.
Sandra has been a very kind soul, Blessing we with this wonderful Curry Goat. Everything here is Good Vibe, Highly recommend coming here again

Hidden gem that has to be tried! The food was perfect and the price as well. It reminded me of my childhood growing up with carribean food.
I saw this restaurant had a 4.9 rating so had to run! It did not disappointed! I got the stew chicken with rice and peas. Delicious! I got it with extra gravy too. Sooo yummy! When I went, no one was in the shop so I was a little wary at first. But I was wrong! I d go back if I m in the area for sure! Big up!
Good evenings and cheap prices.
Started off with the jerk chicken and now I m wanting to try everything.
Hey guys this is definitely the restaurant to try this restaurant give u taste of back home food was so good
This place is one of those hidden gems. The owner is the loveliest woman. We enjoyed the chicken soup to the point that we ordered another one to go, in a larger size. The jerk chicken was cooked to perfection and you can just tell the food was made with love and the best vibes only. We will definitely be coming back here to try the other dishes. Thank you Gold Star!
Best jerk chicken in Toronto, food presentation was beyond expectations and last but not least the customer service was excellent
Authentic Jamaican cooking, homestyle food that will not disappoint. My new number 1 option in North York. I was introduced to Goldstar two weeks ago and I have been back twice since. From the rice and peas are shelly and nice you know the rest of the food is good.
Great service and good sized portions.
Amazing food, good portions. Had the large jerk.
Great people
You must go to this place. Food is and Sandra is the best!!!
The most authentic Jamaican food outside of being in Jamaica!. I recommend the brown stew snapper and the bbq chicken is to die for. Great service! Sandra is such a sweet owner, youll love her vibe too. Very accommodating.
I got the curry chicken with rice and it was amazing. Chicken was super flavorful and just the right amount of spice.
I visited Goldstar Caribbean Restaurant. The dining area is looking nice and clean. Atmosphere feels welcoming. The owner is very professional . I ordered rice and peas with fried chicken. Wow . I was very pleased. The food is nice and fresh. Presentation was great.. I recommend you to go and check it out you be disappointed....
The Customer service was Excellent also the food was well prepared and delicious. I would recommend anyone to give it a try you won t be disappointed.

Amazing food, friendly owner, everything to love. If Im in the area, will drop by again!
Customer service is excellent! Food is great, will keep coming back. Zero complaints!!!!!!
Goldstar was a last minute google search for us. We brought 8 families there two weeks ago in-between basketball games. We pretty much took up the entire restaurant. The owner/chef and her son did a wonderful job of feeding 8 teenagers and their parents. The food was VERY tasty and the portions were a good size. Our group left satisfied and well fed. Thank you so much for hosting us. When in the area we will certainly come again.
Great food and very accommodating!
10/10 would eat again
Some of the best food I ve had. I was part of a group of 10 that decided to drop by last second because of good reviews and Goldstar didn t disappoint. We were served quickly despite the amount of food ordered and they were very hospitable. Great service and great food - definitely want to come back for more!
Parking: The location is good and no issues with parking Kid-friendliness: Friendly staff, great customer service, and very polite
Can t go wrong at GoldStar!! Have to stop by whenever I m in the area. Good vibes and even better food plus the owner is super friendly!
I just moved into an office nearby and I am happy I found this place. Delicious and the price is right. Will be a weekly go-to at lunchtime.
In the blackboard say a price $8.99. But when I pay was very different... 2x $8.99 + 2 coke + 1 soup = $64
Kid-friendliness: The welcoming was was great by the staff.
Had an awesome experience at Goldstar, authentic Jamaican food and great service! Would recommend to everyone and anyone !! Super yummy
Oh! My God, I just couldnt believe the tasty food of Goldstar Caribbean Restaurant Inc Congratulation to Goldstar Caribbean Restaurant Inc. I will be back! A Men. God Bless your business.
Amazing food and service . New favourite spot for Caribbean Jamaican
Firstly I would like to say great customer service. This is our second time coming here! The food presentations is beautiful. Great portion and chicken is well done! Only thing is the coleslaw is in a small container, wish it was bigger because the coleslaw is good lol. Othewise the food was great.

Amazing food at reasonable prices. I highly recommend this small restaurant for friendly service and great food. I had the jerk chicken lunch special and was very impressed.
Feeling very lucky that I work just down the street from Goldstar. The food is fantastic and the service is wonderful. The lunch special is only $7.99!
I was driving on Kodiak Cres and saw Golden Star jamaican food as i passed by, pulled a u-turn and had to try it for myself! Ended up being a great decision! Great good & great service. Thank you Sandra! Ps. I found my new spot for jamaican food Food
Good food made with love

This place is the BOMB!!!! Best Caribbean spot in Toronto. Curry chicken is SO GOOD. Lady who runs it very sweet.
Fantastic place , the food is great . Customer service is the best I ever see in Toronto . I tried everything and when I say it s the best in Toronto .
Hands down the best carribean food in the city!! You cant go wrong with any of the items. Stewed beef, curry chicken, jerk chicken, oxtail....omg everything is delicious! We come by at least once a week and food is always sooo goood!!!
Good food, its super good, go visit Toronto. Parking: good location
Very good bbq chicken done authentically and for a good price
A friend of mine recommended this place and they did not lie! Food is amazing! I ve been twice and the food has always been fresh and delicious!
Fantastic price for how much food you get, tried the oxtail, curry goat, jerk chicken and stew chicken and all were really tasty - especially the oxtail and stew chicken, one of the best I had so far. Will definitely try again.
Great place to get food, tasty and good portions Sandra is the best
Vegetarian options: All good Food
I ve never come across customer service like this at a Jamaican restaurant! It s 3pm and my boyfriend walked in to get me a meal, the woman working said they had no more chicken and asked if he s willing to wait for a fresh batch. Who do you knowww!!! She put her heart in this chicken omg I can t type fast enough with sauce on my hands. 10s across the board!
DELICIOUS Carribean food and friendly service. Dine in or take out. Tried the Oxtail, Jerk and Curry chicken which all come with rice, peas and coleslaw. Couldnt even tell you what my favourite was because they all stood out in their own unique way. This place is a tucked away little gem in North York. Dont pass it up!!
Amazing place! The food is some of the best Ive had and the service is great also and very authentic. So glad I stumbled upon it and I will be back very soon!
Honest review won t say this is the worst Jamaican restaurant I ve been to because it has potential but here are my 3 reasons I won t be going back 1. Restaurant is always closed Despite the hours listed don t count on this place being open. Went to get lunch a handful of times only to find out it was closed. 2. If you are ordering food to go check before leaving I ordered the fry chicken twice now, just to get home and find jerk chicken I wouldn t be mad if the jerk was good but that was the worst thing I ever ate. Mind you the owner handed me the bag saying large fry chicken knowing it wasn t. 3. They don t make / plate the food right in front of you makes me wonder how fresh the food really is Overall experience was very disappointing I want nothing more than to have a great Jamaican spot close to home. The fry chicken was actually pretty good and I would love to support the business but the overall lack of care, lack of effort and lack off consistency makes me never want to return here
The food was excellent. I love it..
Very friendly staff. Their food is so tasty and fresh. Its a homemade food restaurant. Will be their customer for sure.
Definitely one of the best Caribbean restaurants I ve ever eaten from, I m almost throw the who menu and everything is great
I m a contractor for Klause Lab I saw the sign and came and tried the Ackee and sslfish, the food hit the spot. Nicely courteous I fully recommended when Hungry .
I live right around the corner from this new gem. I usually take my walks down Kodiak cres and it s not in a spot that is easily noticed as it s mostly through traffic that goes by as it s an industrial area. I noticed it there the other day and immediately was super excited there could be a great Caribbean place that is walking distance. It did not disappoint! I went at an odd time around 1:45 on a Friday, and sometimes with smaller places like this, by that time the food can be dry, however I ordered the large jerk chicken with rice and peas and it was awesome! Great flavour and the portion was more than enough. Whom I assume is the owner was very nice and pleasant as well. I can already tell I ll be a regular and can t wait to try more what they have on the menu !
Im glad to finally find a local Jamaican restaurant that I really enjoyed. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to get the lunch special on the weekend. The staff was friendly, polite and I will definitely be a returning customer for sure.
Found this amazing spot on my hunt for good food for lunch! Amazing is an understatement! The food is freakin delicious! Don t get me started on the service! Sandra is the Chef and Owner of the establishment and she s just wonderful! Always smiling, always greets you with love and is always a vibe! Good job Sandra and I hope more people discover this Gem!
Absolutely delicious and priced right. Will be coming back here everytime I am on this side of town. Pictures dont do enough justice.
Great food, highly recommend!
Great restaurant, the food is delicious. I highly recommend it. Check it out!
The curry chicken, oxtail, Patty and curry goat were on point!!! So tasty, just enough heat! I can t wait to try everything on the menu!
i went there today and the food was a 10/10, so delicious and fresh and the lady was really nice and had good vibes
Fantastic experience. The owner is awesome. I love the yellow tail snapper and today i ordered jerk chicken, festival and 2 beef patties. The portion is a lot, love it. If youre in the neighborhood or on Kodiak crescent check it out. Its worth the drive.
Amazing food and I think it was the owner that was working there but she was super friendly as well.
It felt like home-made meat as promised, tasty and very well priced. I like the variety of options they offer in terms of menu and price so there is always something for everyone.
Got the Medium Jerk Chicken. Comes with rice and peas, oxtail gravy sauce, salad and side creamy coleslaw. Portions was big! Had this for dinner and lunch! Jerk Chicken was good, creamy coleslaw was good. A hidden gem.
taste is good but the ox tail is not that soft i was craving for it and they forgot my plantain which i am so disappointed I paid like almost $20 for it.
Amazing food! I could easily give 10 stars. Gem of a place. Food quality is on point and soo soo affordable. My go to place for lunch. Already tried some of their hits. Dont think just go and try it. The lady is so accommodating and cheerful. P.S. Their Jerk Chicken and Stew Chicken is BOMB!!!
The service is great. I love the bbq chicken. Ive been 3 times in a week. Ive also tried their cornmeal porridge and dumplings. They have a little bit of a lunchtime rush (just a 5-10 minute wait) so plan accordingly
Today I had the Curry chicken. Its great tender and well cooked. Very nice presentation. Hope little more flavor spice next time but really good though. Looking forward to try other options as they have Many options for good value
Nice food good customer service clean environment this is the place you want to be
Great food, the price is good and the girl working there is very friendly. Will definitely go back again
The food taste great. The customer service by far the best I ve experienced in a long time. If you want something that s not on the days menu They will make it fresh to order.
Delicious food at a reasonable cost. Please dont wait. Its the only place to go. Customer service is extremely high. I really appreciated everything.
I had the curry chicken. It was delicious with the right spice level. This was my first visit but won t be the last.
Great cook beautiful place clean and the custmoer service is on point
Food was GREAT
JUST CAME FROM JAMAICA AND THIS RESTAURANT FOOD TASTES LIKE WHAT YOU WOULD A GET A JAMAICA DEM FOOD SELL OFF MON Vegetarian options: THEY WHAT YOU WANT HOW YOU WANT Parking: LOTS A PARKING Kid-friendliness: BIG OPEN SPACE

Tasty filling food, lovely friendly service, definitely a place to eat regularly
Fish, festival, potato salad and steam veg was very delicious.
Best restaurants by far. Food is good.
Best Caribbean food in Toronto hands down
