Review Summary

China Garden is described as having good cuisine and as one of the best Chinese restaurants on the south shore. In the past buffets were not offered, with most diners preferring the à la carte options. Trying it may feel like adopting it. It is missed a lot by patrons who used to go there, as distance makes a return difficult. A pity because there aren’t many good Chinese restaurants left.View restaurant profile

Tassot Créole

Caribbean Grill

Review Summary

Tassot Créole draws praise for friendly, welcoming service and a vibrant Creole menu with generous portions, good value, and quick service. Dishes like griot with rice and fried plantains are highlighted as tasty and substantial, often prepared in front of diners, which adds to the appeal. The experience is described as authentic and flavorful by many, with some noting that the dish variety and heat can be satisfying and the overall prices reasonable. However, critiques include chicken that can be dry or underseasoned, and some executions that seem aimed at pleasing a local audience rather than staying strictly Haitian. There are remarks about serving meals in plastic takeout containers in the dining room and mixed opinions on authenticity, with a sense that the restaurant is worth trying as a Creole option and a reasonable detour for those seeking bold flavors. Overall, the reviews converge on solid flavors and large portions along with friendly service, albeit with some consistency concerns on certain meats and presentation.View restaurant profile
