So just under a year ago I was invited to this place and absolutely loved their food. Then as I continue to eat there and do events I became more and more disappointed!!!
Had a party for my daughter there 30/40 people and took a section. I was very disappointed, long story shortā¦. I had to rearrange the place for my guest in my dress and high heels with zero help from staff no matter how much I asked. The owners son said they are too busy! Food was served one hour late to my guests amongst so many things!! I didnāt complain to the owner.
Bought food a few months ago and it was burned and tasted bitter! I was told they will replace it and they did a couple of weeks later but yet again bitter and the chicken was raw to my surprise, we couldnāt eat itā¦..again!! I didnāt bother to complain!
We took a pause for a few months and decided to try them again but sadly we were yet again disappointed!! All the veggies were raw and no flavours. The broccoli was like from the garden to my plate. The pepper shrimp had no favour and didnāt even had a colour on it, it looks steamed. The carrots, cabbage and bora came from the garden in my steamed rice, absolutely nothing fried about that fried rice!! It was cabbage and cabbage and more cabbage and big hard pieces of cabbage. Sorry to say it was so disgusting to eatā¦.no favours!!
Donāt get me wrongā¦.food used to be delicious and the owner is a great guy. I just donāt know what happenedā¦.maybe new management/chefā¦.I donāt know but sadly Iām no longer spending my...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI've went to various guyanese/chinese restaurants all over toronto including the other calypso huts, I usually come to this restaurant for the events which are usually good but unfortunately the food isn't the greatest dining in, the fried rice tastes burnt and the chicken isnt your typical guyanese/Chinese chicken as its has a heavy ketchup taste making it are to taste the bqq and theres more sauce then chicken aswell as the portion size it unbelievable, the serving can only feed like 1 and half people. I don't really recommend the bangamary as it has a very fishy/sea taste and mostly covered in batter. And after reviewing other people's reviews I think portion wise you get more taking out then dining in. The service also usually takes some time before getting the menu and even after. The wait for the food usually takes longer then usual which is surprising because the small portions. Unfortunately I have for cons then pros but one thing I can say is that the environment is usually really nice when theres free events! I understand this is the original kalypso hut which has bin around for YEARS! I get the capture of the old schoolness but respectly certain things should be updated such as the plates. I know the other locations are Calypso hut with a C and not a K but if you visit ANY of there locations and then come to this location you see the dramatic difference! All my comments are said in a respectful manner I just hope they take the consumers reviews into consideration to make the...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe got a hotel room down the street at the courtyard hotel and it was about 7PM on Thursday night. We went here because Google said it was Caribbean food. It was no such thing. The food is Chinese food with a "Guyanese" twist. Unfortunately it was just American-Chinese food. And it was really bad American-Chinese Food at that.
I got a combo with rice noodles and chicken. The Rice was completely inedible, it tasted like burnt Ash. The chicken was not great. The sauce that was used was just straight up Ketchup. The only thing that was palatable on the plate was the noodles, Unfortunately they had fragments of chicken bone throughout. Me and the other person with me both picked out 3 or 4 bone piece each.
Not only was the food not great, but between the restaurant being run down and having visible water damage on the ceiling and Christmas decorations up (March). The restaurant was also completely devoid of any other customers. The only people who came in were friends of the waitress and just stood around talking for 30 minutes. But the thing that instilled the least amount of confidence was the fact the restaurant is called "Kalypso" hut with a K but the menu spelled "Calypso" special with a C. It's like this restaurant doesn't know what it wants to be.
This was without doubt the worst Restaurant experience i have found in the Greater...
