Hot Pot Caribbean Cuisine 2081 North Arizona Avenue, Chandler, AZ 85225

"Excellent all around. I've been craving Caribbean food since we went to Jamaica a few years ago. I've never been able to find a comparable jerk chicken or Patty. The chicken is better than I remembered. It's like a Jamaican spicy barbecue sauce that's addictive. The chicken was tender and very well cooked, spicier than my kids would eat but I loved it. Goat curry was perfect, it was tender and well seasoned. Kids loved the patties. They said the meat was a little finer in texture and it had beans instead of cheese but they really enjoyed it. Portion sizes are large. Each entree could easily be shared in my household (2-3 pple). I don't usually like rice and peas but I ate a good bit of it and was pretty happy about it. 10 per person as if you're sharing. If you're not sharing, it's about 20 unless you're getting patties."

"My family and I came to eat and was not impressed at all. The reviews made this place seem like they served authentic jamaican food. It was my birthday, and I was craving a beef patty, some curry goat and cabbage. Cabbage was plain, and adding salt did not help. The curry goat tasted like the seasoning was added after cooking the meat. It was a Saturday at 530p, and they told me I should have come before 3 p.m. for a beef patty. They didn't have coco bread. There is no pricing listed anywhere, so expect to spend $18.99 for a meal and $5 for a glass soda. Fried chicken and white rice were covered in a sweet n sour duck sauce (not what I was expecting). The jerk pasta had more spice than the jerk chicken. The plantains were not ripe when they fried them and were yellow and hard. No one in my group was happy, and I was embarrassed to have even picked the spot. There are no intentions to return. I am not one to ask for a manager because it would not have changed the flavor. We didn't even ask for boxes to go. This is not a sit-down dining place, but that doesn't excuse the food. Music was the best thing there."

"Dude at the counter was cool. I ordered jerk chicken pasta and Jamaican fried chicken. I spent $45 I WAITED 50 MINUTES!!!!! During the wait I watched as the owner (Karen) gave every customer a bored monotone response to their questions. I figured maybe she had a long day but it was barely noon so I couldn't be sure. At least 4 people came in after me and recieved their orders before me. As annoying as that was, I waited patiently. After the excruciatingly long wait, her exact words were "sorry you ordered something that takes a little longer than most orders" When I received the pasta it was barely warm but the fried chicken was piping hot. I still have yet to know why fried chicken took 50 minutes?!?! and the explanation I was given was so dry it made me realize why black businesses struggle. I swear I will NEVER come here again. I try to support black people every chance I get but I'm not gonna keep taking Losses just to support someone with the same skin color as me. Pure silliness and the food wasn't even worth the wait or the amount of money. Waste your money here if you want but don't say you were not warned. Have a good day"
