Sunrise Restaurant

I lovee sunrise mmmmmm when I go to sunrise I usually get the curry chicken and white rice (if dinner time) or oxtail with rice and peas (lunch) ackee and saltfish with boiled dumpling (breakfast) I never had a problem with the food here and the service is always friendly

This place is disgusting not only is the food never consistent the prices seem to change every time i order food the food is terrible bland no flavour the staff looks like there confused the owner doesn’t have a clue how to make carribean food if you want to get ripped off go to this restaurant Food has no flavour the jerk sauce is out of a jar the food is sitting out all day in trays get some fresh jamaican food up the street.

I got some takeout from this place the other day. The other reviews are correct that the counter staff do make you feel like you’re inconveniencing them. So do not expect friendly service.
The food was okay, but nothing special. This is like the McDonald’s of Caribbean food. The food is sitting in warming trays (cafeteria style) and it gets slopped into paper boxes for takeout.
They give you a huge portion of rice. Too much rice. Enough rice to feed a family of 6 for dinner. And then top it with what appears to be a somewhat skimpy portion of meat compared to the rice. When I think back to my takeout order from Gem’s House of Jerk where the rice to meat ratio was pretty much 1:1, the ratio here at Sunrise is more like 8:1. The rice, as abundant as it is, isn’t particularly good. It’s overcooked and it has that too soft texture that’s just a bit offputting. Gem’s rice, on the other hand, was perfection.
The jerk chicken was moderately spicy and a tad too salty. It was fine, but nothing I’d go out of my way to get again.

I will always love their rice and peas & coleslaw but their cheapness with their meat is just getting downright annoying. I ordered a large fried chicken meal and got two little pieces of chicken with hardly no meat on on them. It’s quite confusing why they started doing this when they never use to do that 12 years ago?. The whole meal was basically rice. Their chicken roti was pitiful as well. If you want good roti go to The Roti Shop on Kennedy Road in Brampton. They know what their doing. I would love this place and give it a full five stars if they could just give out the meat that should be on par with the size of order.

This place isn’t dangerous after 5 pm, they moved locations and now its a smaller restaurant located near lots of businesses. However I will agree the cashiers look like they hate their life so don’t expect some amazing customer service. The food is good. Not my favourite Jamaican restaurant but the location is really convenient for me. I usually stop by for breakfast (Ackee and salt fish with dumplin) or a bit after lunch rush for the special of the day which is about 5 bucks for a smaller portion of meat rice and a drink. They keep hot sauce on the right side of the cash register make sure to try it!

I can’t believe people haven’t tried this place yet, especially after janelle’s great review!
So let me do a refresher of this place.
When approaching it one should be very cautious to not let first impressions fool you. The sign is very colorful but in one of the most dreary areas, let alone strip malls. I’ll be honest I would probably not even stop at the nearest light anytime after 5 pm (yes that sketchy) but again first impressions are deceiving!!!
But don’t let second impressions fool you either, because on entering you will literally think «what happened to harvey’s!!!». The seating and layout are a perfect emulation of any local harvey’s!
And if you are hoping the staff will impress you… They won’t. They aren’t the most happy people but they are quick and efficient about getting you your food.
So after all these impressions its really the final but most important impression that should blow you away… the food!
I had the jerk chicken combo and at first i wasn’t impressed with my rice and chicken until I put it in my mouth and WOW! The spices are just amazing and the chicken is so soft! I ve tried jerk chicken before and haven’t been a fan, but this dish definitely made me want to try more jerk.
I dont know about the roti or the other dishes, but if janelle is right and this is the real jamacian food… I think I know where my next vacation is going to be!
And to top it off everything is around 7 $ so it’s not a bad deal to taste a little caribbean, west of the 410.
