Caribbean Wave

Ordered the chicken and got home to find what looked like chicken scraps with hardly any edible meat on them. Everything was dry and crispy like it was scavenged from the garbage.

We went on a Saturday, around 10:30pm. While going thru the menu, the server informed that very few items were available at this hour! The choice was quite limited. We ordered Jerk Wave Chow Mein and Jerk Chicken Fried Rice. The quality was average, nothing special to highlight and also not much to be disappointed… just simple average.

I’ve been to this restaurant a few times over the past few years. It’s a solid choice to get your grub one. This time for the table we ordered the fried fish (yum!), mixed fried rice with chicken in top; noodles with veggies and chicken on top and jerk chicken. The jerk chicken wasn’t good and it looked too liquid-​y.
The rice and the noodles dishes were too salty for me, which is sad because the chicken was nice and moist and tender.
It’s a big place that can hold a group of people and they do takeout. The service is really nice — they even offered to warm up some dishes as they had been on the table for awhile.

Food is good, service is terrible. I’ve been here before and have had the same re-​occuring issues. I called to make an order for a party I was going to and the lady kept cutting me off mid sentence then got short with me because she couldn’t understand what I wanted.

Huge portions, friendly service, clean and warm environment. Prices are very affordable for the amount of food you get. Jerk chicken is really spicy, but waitress provides a pitcher of ice water to prepare. Chicken curry is flavourful and boneless (which is rare to find). Would definitely come back here again.

Got a jerk chicken fried rice to go for $ 7.75
For the price you get big portions and a whole lot of meat. I could hardly see the rice with all jerk chicken that was piled on top.
I know jerk chicken is suppose to be a bit salty but I found everything to be heavily salted. The fried rice was dark brown with all the soy sauce they put on it and the jerk meat was so salty that it had a burning sensation. Even so the meal was pretty decent and very filling.
Like most reviewers have stated already the staff there are very friendly and service was quite fast. I got my order within 5 minutes and there were many people that ordered take out and about 6 tables being served. at the same time. There are also many seats for dine in aswell.

This is my third time being here. For whatever reason the food is dropping grade each time. The jerk chicken with rice and peas has become the staple here. Unfortunately they were out of rice and peas today so had to settle for the the wave fried rice with jerk chicken. The jerk flavor was nonexistent this time and over saturated with soy sauce. Also ordered the chilli chicken which was a suprised hit. The service was great as always. The food was average to say the least. Overall rating of 3.5 out of 5.

Amazing!!! I think they should add a dance floor too!
The food is so good
The pepper sauce is amazing
People are friendly
Service is a bit slow
But worth it!
I haven’t been there for a while but would love to go again!

Great meal. Great portions. Great prices. So yummy. Hit the spot for flavour. Real «wok» taste on the fried rice. Ox tail, jerk chicken and fried rice were good. Clean restaurant. Good service. I would most definitely return.

Be sure to try: chilli chicken, pholourie.
Chilli chicken here has a different outer coating versus hakka chilli chicken. It is also finished with a tamarind based sauce which is sweet and tangy. Hot sauce given on the side is a must. Removing a star because quality has been variable over the past few orders. Order in advance for take-​out.
Pholourie here are more dense than what I’m used to but are a good value.

Excellent foot, great portions. I definitely recommend the jerk chicken. It has tasty flavours, and the meat itself is very tender.
I will have to say that the curry goat was lukewarm when we received it. After asking for it to be nuked in the oven, it tasted much better. However, I still recommend the jerk chicken.
The staff is friendly and relatively attentive. I would most definitely come back here.

We had the spicy shrimp, mixed fried rice and wave jerk chowmein. Everything tasted SO good. We would definitely order from here again!

My favourite local spot for Guyanese style fried rice. Only place I can get better fried rice is my grandmother’s home cooking, lol!
Service is friendly, prices decent and food always great. My favourites are fried rice, pepper shrimp, and jerk chicken.

I have eaten at Caribbean Wave a bunch of times an the food has always been good. But today the food was just gross. The Caribbean Wave rice we ordered was stale an cold. We had to send it back. The veggies we ordered tasted disgusting and was swimming in a pool of corn starch liquid. We drove all the way to Scarborough to eat at this restaurant today an needless to say it was a great waste of time.

We stopped here on our recent trip to Toronto, and this was one of the meals I fondly remember and wish I could get again. After staying in downtown Toronto for a few days, we stopped at Caribbean Wave on our way from the zoo to Niagara Falls. Boy am I glad this place is visible from the highway because it is a real treasure and really made my day.
I got chick peas and potatoes which were spiced really fantastically. But I was super envious of my husband’s (ridiculously large) choices. First, he got jerk chicken lo mein, which was amazing. Combining Carribean flavors with Chinese food is brilliant and so well executed here. The even better standout for me was the roti. How can bread be the best thing I ate? I don’t know, but it was. It was flaky, doughy, amazing, and enough to feed a small family. I really regretted not getting my chick peas in the roti after I tried it, but my husband reluctantly let me keep eating from his because there was no way he’d finish it anyway.
If I had to say something critical about our experience, the service was a bit slow. But the woman who took our order must have apologized 10 times for the slow service. Not necessary. When the food is this good, it can be a little slow to come out.
So now the challenge is for us to book another Toronto trip and find an excuse to get to Carribean Wave to overdose on roti, jerk chicken, and other fantastic food. We will definitely be back and I will definitely not forget that the roti is a must order menu item.

This used to be my Jerk chicken go to spot in scarborough about 5 – 6 years ago. The quality has gone down significantly. Just ordered today; My jerk chicken was too salty with lack of spices. And the girl who took my order was short as if i owed her somethhing when i tried to clarify my order. $ 9.50 for jerk chicken & rice & peas… There are better places in the city.

I’ll be honest, if a sign isn’t appealing to the eye, I usually don’t bother with the place. So yes, I do judge books by their cover. Admittedly, I once got a pretty looking book and the novel turned out to be craptacular.
My cousin ordered take-​out from here and normally I don’t trust her food choices but she (kind of) redeemed herself with this place. This is definitely the best place she’s ever picked and I’ve already gone back for more without her.
One of the best items on their menu would be their Jerk Chicken chow mien which is packed with flavour. Their fried rice is also very good and a must try. Though their oxtail is not as good as what they have at The Real Jerk, it is still very good. I’d definitely go here again if I had a craving for oxtail and don’t want to take the trek out west.

Awesome friendly service and food! First time there based on past Unilocal reviews, and it did not disappoint.
They serve a slightly different jerk chicken than what I had envisioned, but it was tasty and I am glad we ordered too much so I can enjoy it for another two days!
Thank you and we will be back when we are back in the area!

Caribbean Wave was this unique blend of Caribbean food with a bit of Asian influence. Dishes like jerk chicken fried rice, lo mein, chow mein, and egg rolls make you think you’re ordering at a Hakka Chinese place (but hopefully way better). The place is real nice and clean on the inside… and one of the few Caribbean places who enjoy having A/​C as well…
One item we had to order for an appetizer was the Fried Shark! I even had to double check with the waitress to see if it was real shark and she said it was. Not sure if this is a popular dish or anything, but was curious to know exactly what that was like. It has a meaty texture like chicken, but is very fishy. There wasn’t much flavor for the meat, and though it was nice to try, I wouldn’t get it again.
The Curry Duck was an interesting dish. I enjoyed the flavor of the curry. It was a dark and oily green and brown color that was runny like Indian curry. The spices were heavy and was ideal for rice (which they really give a whole lot of). The duck portion was reasonable for the price and with some potatoes was good. I enjoyed the curry more than the duck as I felt the duck, though meaty, did not have its flavor come out in full force and was overpowered by the curry.
The Caribbean Wave Lo Mein was incredible. It comes with a variety of meats, and is topped off with a portion of their fried chicken. I loved the fried chicken as it wasn’t the crispiest, but definitely tasted incredible. The noodles were done well, though a bit soggy. The other meats included some pork, chicken, and shrimp. They were OK but were more of an auxiliary portion.
I only wish this place were closer. Our server was very nice and was good with all our questions (also cute too). The place is well kept and prices were good (though the shark was overpriced around $ 10). If not for distance, I would frequent this place a bit more. Definitely want to come back to try some jerk chicken.

Great Service — Great Food — Great Food to Price Ratio
Upon arriving at the restaurant we were promptly greeted and seated. The waitress approached us and explained the menu and gave us suggestions. The food was great. The serving sizes are family size — one order can feed two. We ordered a lot of food and ended up having to take some home. The amount of food they give you to what they charge is FANTASTIC. We ordered:
— Curry Beef
— Whole Friend Chicken
— Fried Rice
— Chowmein
— 2 sodas
With tip we paid $ 63.00 and served four people. Incredible. The food tasted great also. The curry was a little spicy for me but that is everyone’s personal preference.
