Caribbean Queen in Scarborough

THE FOOD IS HORRIBLE THEIR OXTAIL IS NOT OXTAIL, THE RICE TASTES AS THOUGH IT HAS BEEN COOKING FOR WEEKS IN ADVANCE AND THE COLESLAW IS RUNNY

If youre craving some Caribbean flavors and thinking of hitting up Caribbean Queen at Scarborough Town Centre, let me save you a trip. Picture this: youre all excited, ready for a delicious meal, but then you get handed a container thats barely half full. Seriously, its like they measured it with a teaspoon! The portion was so tiny, I thought it was a sample. And the customer service? Well, lets just say Ive had more enthusiasm from a rock. The lady behind the counter seemed determined to set a new record for stinginess. Maybe she was having a bad day, but it sure felt like she was taking it out on my dinner . So, if you like your food portions as big as your appetite and appreciate friendly service, Caribbean Queen might not be your best bet. Until they step up their game, Id recommend taking your cravings elsewhere.

You call yourselves Caribbean queen yet it s not even run by my people major bye

Just nasty food. Wasted my money

Chicken smelled bad and mushrooms were terrible

Gave way too much rice with way too little chicken for $12... This place is an absolute rip off. Never coming here again.

Delicious food. Used to go to another location for lunch multiple times a day but think this is the only location left. Open a location in mississauga!

Bought 1 meat + 1 veggie + rice meal. Taste was good. They could reduce the oil to make it more healthy. Eating out has become very expensive in Canada.

The oxtail was horrible! I m not a Jamaican but I know that is not near a decent oxtail. It tasted weird and the sauce tasted canned. It was just bad and not tasty at all. Not worth the price

Something you can rely on. I really like the juicy mushrooms they have...

Awesome Taste .. best thigh chicken and spicy beef with spicy noodles combination Good Quantity and value for money.?

disgusting. soggy meat. rice was good. cold plantain. would not recommend

So juicy Lamb Shanks!

Just letting you know this is not Caribbean food. They made a nice try on the jerk chicken but thats about it. Best time to come is at lunch when food is fresh. It is oily but not to bad- you will get your moneys worth and feel full. Veggies are steamed and good. Dont expect it to wow you- just average.

The restaurant used to be great, but lately, the quality has taken a noticeable hit. Tonight, the late-shift employee was extremely rude when I inquired about the chicken. The so-called Jerk chicken tasted nothing like it more like paprika and garlic. It was soggy and seemed old. Even the coleslaw, which I used to love, has changed for the worse. It now tastes like plain cabbage with no seasoning. Its evident that someone new has taken over, and the food quality is suffering. I used to be a regular, but after this experience, I wont be coming back. Missing the old management.

Food taste good and nice customer service

The taste is good but they give you all rice or noodles and no meat. Not my thing so it s a 1 star for me

Food was OK but the cashier (an middle age woman) showed no customer service skills. No hi or how are you. Then literally looks away when giving the food and placed it on table right where she was standing as if shes giving it to herself!

This food stall is falsely advertising vegetarian/halal food .Chicken powder is added to the food including vegetables to enhance the flavor. The server also confirmed the food is not guaranteed halal and chicken powder is added

Would 1000% not recommend. Very disappointing experience!!

The staff is really nice

I liked their veg platter. It was quite delicious. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are available.

The worst food ever, stale food .

Its really delicious and its cheap. I love mall food. Dont expect gourmet but its really good (and fatty). Had noodles with curry chicken, zucchini mushroom mix, and eggplants. It was enough for 2 people lol

Ate there yesterday, Got the spicy chicken and curry chicken. It looks just like any other Manchu wok style fast food. But when I took a bite I was amazed! LOTS of flavor! Chicken was tender! beans and rice had cumin seeds in it which made it super tasty! HUGE portions :) I was super hungry!

Friendly staff that greets and helps persons to order and at same time are patiently Good experience And great tasting food

I was about to buy there when I saw the lady over there handing out samples to others (only East Asians) and when I asked her politely for a sample she shooed me away as if I was a beggar. And her attitude towards me was so hurting. I have never faced such rude attitude or remarks anywhere in Canada.

DONT EVER GO THIS SHOP IF YOU ARE NOT AN EAST ASIAN! COZ THEY WONT ANSWER YOU EVEN IF YOU ARE FROM OTHER REGION! We were to buy some food over there, and we asked a little bit of sample (that too only chicken). Why did we ask for it? Coz she was already offering to other people (only East Asians - that too very politely). But she treated us in such a way that we were like beggars! (I immediately checked the other reviews, and people have commented about her attitude. Remember, that lady is showing attitude only to other races and not to East Asians) The first ever time, I experienced Racism in Canada! We lost our appetite coz of her treatment to us! She kept telling us to go away as if we don t want to eat the food from them! Come on! We have our money and we are paying! Why does she behave indifferently to other people? Note: I didn t assume that she is racist! After we went and sat in the nearby table, we observed her. And she did the same to other people who are NOT East Asians! So hurtful!!

Typical food court Asian food

The food is really good and the prices are reasonable. Not sure if its authentic Caribbean though.

This is NOT Caribbean food. It should NOT be called Caribbean Queen it should be called Korean Queen. Absolutely no salt, flavour, rice was HARD, chicken was HARD. Never buy after 5. I wasted $14 on 2 meats, veggie and rice also some spring roll to waste. It was SO bad!. I only got it because the mall was closing and i needed something. I would stick to my chipotle and another Korean grill that grills it fresh. This place brings SHAME to all the Caribbean. 000000000 Stars

Do not eat from here unless you can hard rice and bland meats. Gross. The asian grill near Man Cho Wuk is way better. I wasted over $12 buying their food to have diarrhea afterwards

Buyer beware. I bought 1 meat Combo and was over charged Took about 5 bites and found a dark black hair in the rice. And 24 hrs later I was so sick I had to visit east general hospital. Ill never go back This location is situated inside the Scarborough town centre

I work in this mall and I often go to this restaurant. Its delicious. I love it

You guys need to get real Caribbean cooked. The food you sell is not Caribbean food.

The food isnt authentic but at the same time non authentic food is never a bad thing. The jerk chicken is very great overall

Food is decent and the staff are quick, although the service isnt the greatest.

Ok Not so good with food handling , They do not wear gloves or wash hands enough nor do they wear face gaurds to protect from coughing on food.

More like Chinese food than Caribbean

Nice and delicious food

A bit pricey, but food was tasty; and not a big selection of vegetarian options. Clean environment.

Awesome

Food tasted old

Great food. Reasonable price, friendly staff.

The price is a bit expensive

Great food

Food is excellent. Just stop being stingy with the meat guys!

A good place for some satisfying halal food in the mall.

Its ok

Place for the tasteless food. If you like to waste your money then go to this place. No fresh foods at this place.

Painfully average

I ordered 2 meat combo with spicy fried fish and Spicy chicken. I really liked the fish, soft and flaky inside and seemed fresh. The chicken was also good, typical chinese style battered chicken but made with some Caribbean flare. The portion I received were LARGE. I only went here once, but I would come back based on my experience :)

Good food. Good price.

Jerk chicken, spicy noodles and mushrooms - a perfect lunch and good portions!

Food is good

Good Caribian style food, enjoyed the fish style.

I only gave a one star rating because zero star rating isnt allowed. I bought the chicken leg and salad combo at $9.03 only to get a half cooked, bloody chicken. I took it back so they could put it back on the grill and it could be properly cooked. The staff were rude and refused to comply. The cook was adamant to finish cooking it on the grill and said he could only toss it in the microwave. They were making me feel like I was at fault for their incompetence. How would they feel when a food inspection agency pays them a visit. Eating improperly cooked poultry can cause all sorts of infectious diseases that can some times be lethal. Very poor and disappointing service

I went here yesterday. I was looking as the menu board. I was in mood for biryani so almost decided to move on. The lady at the counter said, have you tried our food earlier, if not pls try our chicken and must admit it was delicious. She gave my order. 2 chicken 1 veg 1/2 rice 1/2 noodle The taste was very good. Not at all oily or over filled with sauce. Clean plating style and nice food. Will recommend.

3.5 stars. I ve been visiting this place once every week for about two months now. The food is good. I especially like the mushroom because other places don t have it. The biggest issue I have is that they hold back just a little when scooping food, whereas places like, say, Bourbon St next door, do not. I got the most food when a guy was serving. They still give you a lot of food and most people won t finish it. It s a fair choice among other options in the food court.

Love the spicy noodles!

Its good food. You can test taste the items before buying them.

This is not Caribbean food. It s Chinese food plus a couple of dishes that are trying to imitate Caribbean food. It s not terrible, but it is false advertising. It s not even Chinese-Caribbean. Just Chinese.

Severely overpriced for what you are getting. The staff here stack the rice all the way up to fill the box and give like only two pieces of whatever proteins you ordered. They also wont let you sample certain meats such as fish. LOL definitely not worth it considering its almost 9 dollars for rice/noodles with one meat. go to jimmy the greek 2 stores down its way better

Poor service

Best place for Halal food. Foods are really tasty.

Food is not bad

Pretty good food. Other than the jerk chicken leg and thigh, most of the food seems like Chinese food with some island flare. I would say this isnt caribbean food at all, instead its really good Chinese food seasoned with Caribbean spices. Not a bad thing, works well for most of there dishes

Even tho i am not a fan of food courts all as much but Caribbean Queen is a place i really enjoy dining at when my friends from.other offices come for a visit. Their unique caribean.fish dish is a sure hit with me and my friends. They have other good selections too but that fish? is just too good to pass! Service is ok, prices reasonable for a food court restaurant and the place and mall food court are super neat and clean.

Like it

This is not Caribbean at all, its your standard Chinese based Western fast food restaurant. Not sure why they named it Caribbean.

Good

The food is always good here!

good food and good portions

Disgusting food

Variety food selection and reasonable pricing.

Great place

Really nic e

Quality had been plummeted drastically. Dont waste your money and time.

Sigh

I only ate here once and that experience was awful. The girl put like 5 chicken pieces on top of a box full of rice. Was honestly a waste of money and disappointing. Better off ordering from the Hakka place next to them.

Decent menus

Super

generally

You get a lot of food here especially near closing time. Food is spicy though (especially some of the noodle options) so if you cant handle spice it might not be for you. Fish is really good!

Nice food and nice portions too. Can get little samples of the food beforehand so you can try the taste out. Most of the food is good as I think I have tried everything here at some point lol. Spicy food too so if youre not into spice then order carefully or ask the staff. Enjoy

Staff attitude is not good.food is not that good

Bring back the vegetable patties please.

No, its British Queen

Excellent

Good place to spent 10 mints

Nice food with sad momery

Great price but not best of food!!

I love this place so much I ve been ordering here for such a long time! They put more then enough food and it s halal too!

Yummy dishes and Portions are big enough..

The food wasnt that great and the customer service was awful. My husband bought some rice that tasted like perfume. I politely asked to exchange it. I was given attitude, eye rolling, they tried ignoring me and pawning me off on each other saying they didnt want to deal with me. I asked for the manager hes not here The rice being virtually untouched I asked for my money back. No! Finally they gave me a tiny plate of rice much less than what Id paid for. I thanked them and left. Im not saying dont eat there just dont expect much.

I was never at Caribbean Queen so how can you ask me to rate it Google?

Okay not the best

Great food

it was what I really needed. excellent service and food

One of my favorite halal place to eat.

Need better tasty food.

Skip the rice.

Ugh it was ok

Fish was good and fresh noodles were a bit hard .

Its in the fast food court section of Scarborough Town Centre and the line is fairly short to order compared to other establishments. That being said, the food is substandard and you have better options around the court to try out. The staff operate out of a mindset of an assembly line and just want people to order and take their food. Very little interaction beyond that.

I didnt think it was as bad as the reviews say. The food was cheap compared to competition, and there was a bigger portion, and a large selection. A short coming was that the food wasnt super good, but it wasnt super bad either. So, Im wondering why this establishment is getting so many ones ...

Purely chinese food with the difference being they have plantain. Terrible food. Most disappointing day of my life because i bought this thinking it would be cheaper than chipotle. Paid about 50 cents less and got way less food i am about to cry i have to go food was cold as fug

Good food!

Best fried rice and spicy chicken I ever had

only decent chinese food at stc, dont even bother with sh360 and manchu. recommend fried rice, eggplant, pepper beef, curry chicken and sweetsour chicken.

I asked for rice, mushrooms and jerk chicken leg. I didnt get the mushrooms., even though I asked several times she just wanted to give me the broccoli Mabey she knew something I didnt. The jerkchicken was completely tasteless and only luke warm, the rice and peas were also completely tasteless. The one item I didnt want turned out to be the best. I will never eat here again. This is my first review ever and I felt compelled to warn others.

I see asians running the store. I refuse to pay for bootleg food. Caribbean food must be done by caribean only if you want perfection

Two small measly scoops of rice. Youd think theyre selling gold with the amount of rationing they do with their cheap portions.

First off, there were a lot of people in line for the food. So I understand that the staff were in a hurry to serve as many people as possible. But that didnt excuse their rude behaviour! I ordered my meal, paid for it, and went to eat it. The noodles were EXPIRED- sour, disgusting and they smelled awful. There was a woman sitting right beside me and her noodles were also inedible. KEEP IN MIND- THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR SERVING ROTTEN FOOD TO PAYING CUSTOMERS. Worse, when i went to tell them that the food was bad, they refused to give me a refund. Instead, they scooped out the rotten noodles, and plopped some bland rice on my plate- hurrying me along and ignoring me. This is one of the worst places to eat- and I dont understand why its so popular. Avoid it at all costs.
