Dude you have a really nice channel. Keep up the good work. I like your travel videos more. Through your eyes you make our country look exotic to me... a citizen. Thanks for that.
Much appreciated bro 🙏🏽…this comment is really an honor for me
I came just to like this comment. I agree 110% 😁👍
Often times it's the cheaper Chinese restaurants that taste the best
Surprisingly so Michael
Definitely...
Yeah boi I taste the one opposite Moonan by the hardware boi it lashing
@@TrinbagoVibes bro a soldier say yuh eating like Videsh
@@MrRayden6 🤣🤣🤣
Love these food review videos! Great job as usual Rajeev. You never disappoint. 😁🙏🙌
Thank you Deshana 🙏🏽😁
Always appreciate the vids and the honesty of the reviews...well done!!
Much appreciated Jason
Chinese food is my favorite. Wing hua food is good and Wans never disappointed me. Enjoy all your videos
Thank you 🙏🏽 and yeah Wans and Wing Hua haven’t disappointed me to date…and since Chinese food is your fav, what’s your go to spot?
That’s what I like my Chow ming to have that crunch 😋this was fun never had a Chinese food hoping it was cool thank you 🙏🏾 Rajeev great video
Love that crunch as well bro, lol and you’re most welcome
Wing Hua beats so many chinese spots
Your vids always making me hungry 🤤🤤
That they do Angela, and yes I keep forgetting to put that disclaimer at the beginning of the video, lol
You should definitely try Wing Wua in Edinburgh, I think it's way better than the one in Charlieville. Also, City Wok in Sando IS A MUST. It's absolutely delicious
City wok is decent, but I feel I’ve to do a Wing Hua hopping inno 😁
Looks delicious bro. Definitely will have to surely try it. Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome bro
Thanks for making these videos, I can't wait to visit home and try some of these spots you feature. I especially love how you list the USD prices as well.
You’re most welcome 🙏🏽 and I hope they do justice when you visit them
Thanks for the reviews
You’re welcome
Another great video. Yuh real love that MSG boy! 😂 Bon Appétit!
TT Chinese food is the best! 🤤
It’s what makes Chinese food, Chinese food, lol
@@TrinbagoVibes Btw, you might want to check out a steering wheel tray so you don’t have to balance food on your lap 😂
Great video, we enjoy City Wok,Soongs and recently had from Passage to Asia was excellent
Nice, and yeah all those are good as well
I liked seeing the area/ parking situation. 👍🏼
Takes a lot to find tasty Chinese food, just IMO. Started making my wontons at home.
That it does, and noted on the parking situation to incorporate it in future vids as well
Like ah boss Rajeev, now I definitely have to go get Chinese food, great content & great food... Love in de House... 🇹🇹🇹🇹✌️💯✌️💯✌️💯🇹🇹🇹🇹...
Thanks bro, yeah these videos tend to do that, lol
Nice thanks for the video enjoy
You’re welcome Donna
The Chinese food there looks amazing
That they are
Have you tried the pie place in the food compound in balmain? So many options, I think that would be a video by itself trying all the options. As always awesome video.
Not yet bro, and yeah that will be a video by itself, lol
great content as usual G
Much appreciated bro
Chinese food my favourite take away, thanks for showing some potential eating places. Consider reviewing fried wontons from different restaurants Vibes.
Now that’s a good one to do
love the content!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Content getting super top teir bro
Yeah bro
Love this one Rajeev! Now im hungry @3am.... keep up the great vlogs.
So we usually purchase Chinese food @Kim Yuan in El Dorado..... you should try them😁
Thanks Geeta and will add this to the list for round 2
The traditional places in Marabella is Wans and Golden Palace - the latter used to be the best with the pepper but people are now saying its dry and tasteless. Sim Yi in Freeport is pretty good and reasonable /large portions and can quickly make a wide varieity esp if you are used to ordering many dishes and not just fry rice and chicken.
Yup, the last time I had golden palace it was ok, not as good as I remembered it growing up and the only problem I’ve with Wans is that they are inconsistent, like in this one it was good but a time after this it was ok
Boy, I shouldn't have watched this now. All of them looking good! I heard that Food Time in Cane Farm have some of the best Chinese food in the country.
Ohhh, will have to check them out
In princes town, check princess gardens
Gasparillo, zhong shan
Marabella , wans
Debe, Chinese dragon before the bridge
Great video!
Thank you
Great video as always. I love town restaurant so seeing Chinatown was a big surprise as I thought they would have kept that standard up especially at that price point (also totally agree it's nonsensical that lunch special not being available on Saturday as they don't open Sunday).
Maybe a revisit of this with seafood/vegan or even best combo for $60 or less would definitely make a great sequel to this video.
That’s a good idea for a sequel bro and I also thought the standard would have been kept,
Congrats on 800k
Thanks, hopefully one day we’ll hit that 800k
Im convinced trinidad have the best chinese food of all the caribbean islands ive eaten from. Lots of flavor and a proper presentation.
Your logic is undeniable, lol
I cannot wait to come in vacation so I can eat all those amazing stuff again I miss my West Indian food Trini is the best
Boom!!! Done know and hopefully we show you some new spots to try on the channel
Best Chinese food is Golden Palace in Marabella. They're a bit on the pricey side though.
Their fried pepper shrimp, roast pork, butter chicken are great.
I remember going there for special occasions when I was a younglin
Looks yummy
It was bro
Nice drive Rajeev, there are a lot of Chinese restaurants in Princess Town, 1 just after you come off the traffic light on the left side, 1 over the road from Detour store, 1 over the road from St Michael's Anglican school Craignish Village and 1 in the Matilda before triangle
Thanks Reshma, but which one would you rate as the best out of all these?
All the Chinese restaurants mentioned here are run down.. I would not recommend
I eat from 2 chinese restaurant mostly, one in Arima opposite Massy stores and one in Grande like 5 mins away from the hospital. Their food is delicious
Taking notes 😁
Rajeev,
Enjoyed this Chinese food hopping and definitely not good to watch after 10pm. Hungry now!!!!. I am starting to become a food critic watching your videos. Hope all is well. Enjoying the videos and look forward to seeing that notification bell.
Lol, glad you enjoyed it Nirmala 😁
Hello we have the best Chinese food 😋 can't wait to come home and eat some with a cold Stag
That we do 😁
Bro, you come right in my area in Princes Town. We live very close to Benji's. Love the honest reviews.
Whoaa, so would you rate them high compared to others in d area?
@@TrinbagoVibes, yes. Most in the immediate area are basic. There is one in Cedar Hill that is quite good but we usually go to Wans.
Thanks Rajeev for sharing like your channel.
Appreciated Marlene and you’re welcome
Watching this making me feel to bother my mom for Chinese chicken Sunday come😊
Lol, might as well
Dk. T&T: Channel For The Trini Eaters🤣...Bon Appetite😂👍
Congratulation to all Trini people who love to eat, and more eat, and they keep eating👏😄
Food is life, lol
Wan's generally is pretty good
Also good -
Sando - pagoda , city wok, ma pow
Matilda - garden Chinese restaurant (opposite the MP office ) their Hong Kong stuff is great.
Rio Claro - Golden Dragon
Sangre Grande - Hang fai or Centura (popular for their ramstyle)
City wok does be a hit and miss for me, but a few of these will have to try in the next round
Wing Hua (Charlieville) and China Town Asian Kitchen top notch, consistent and tasty.
Wing Hua yeah, but China Town kinda disappointed me with their flavor in this rounds
Nice vid Rajeev! I enjoyed watching. What is your favorite casual chinese restaurant in north side?
Hey Suzy, I would normally go Golden Star in St.James as it’s the closest casual Chinese restaurant to me
@@TrinbagoVibes ok nice I'll try them soon. Thx 👍🏼
You forgot Ho Sing in Marabella bro, maybe next time, thank you so much for this amazing video blessings to you and wifey
Next rounds, Ho Sing was my original go to as it was close to home, when I lived Marabella, lol
@@TrinbagoVibes yes ho sing is great
@@reshmagopaul6113 🤣🤣 I appreciate the compliment 😁
Ming Hing on the southern main road in curepe is THE bestttt 💯
Lol, will have to check them out next time I’m hopping
You should try South Pork I mean i know is a Chinese video but South Pork tastes SO GOOD.
Lol, next rounds…is this the name of a spot or just generally?
@@TrinbagoVibes The name of the place it located by first and last bar in Chagaunus
Craving Chinese right now
I know that feeling
Good information buddy, buy you must try, yound hoo Lee Chinese in San Juan, best Chinese food in Trinidad
Next time I’m Chinese food hopping
I think you should do a Chinese food hopping to figure out where has local chicken, most restaurants doing the foreign box chicken
That might be a challenging one to do
Phoenix Garden Recreation Club was one of the best authentic chinese food i ever tasted thus far in Trinidad so far, trust me i am a chinese food hunter lol
Ohh I trust you and I’ll definitely check them out
All Good.
Yeah, but Wing Hua and Wans a lil above the rest
check out red chilli in monroe road cunupia, also passages to asia and kampo in chaguanas
Passage and kampo is good…haven’t tried Red Chilli yet
Big to intercol in the asja boys days Raj..u miss out
Wans in vistabella
Chinese's dragon debe
Food time around
Awesome content bro
Thanks bro
Wing Wua, in my opinion, is very tasty, especially if yuh try the hong Kong style shrimp, pepper shrimp, chicken fry rice, Tim sums, etc... just sample the other food...they luv to cook with whole pepper...Give it go
Lol, I’m aware…I went this simple route cuz it was the only way i could have rated each one, but next time is to find out their most popular dish and try it
Must try foodtime in Tacarigua..👍👍
Are they on the main road or on a side road?
@@TrinbagoVibes On the main road..
@@vidyabrambarran9835 will check them out one of these days
The rel Chinese restaurant u miss out on in the Princes Town area is Hong Xing in Manahambre. Hadda check that out next time
Nice, will try them next rounds bro
agreed. Their food is pretty decent and the chicken is quite flavourful and juicy.
Hi Rajeev. Great video. House of Chan on Warner Street, Newtown up Port-of -Spain side
Hey Randy, will definitely check them out…I would normally go Golden Stars in St. James
Rajeev please keep up the great job.
House of chan is also in Emerald Plaza on Eastern main rd St Augustine, you must try their food too
Part 2 please!
Will work on that soon
Hey you need to try food time in Arouca. I have never been disappointed. I'm vegetarian I normally get noodles with garlic spicy tofu and sometimes chunky veg. It's a couple dollars more than the regular Chinese restaurant but food and presentation is very clean. Keep up the food reviews. Stay safe.
Next rounds Amy, you have an exact location and name of this spot?
@@TrinbagoVibes Food time is the name of the restaurant and the exact location is on google. I'm from central☺️
Like ur channel
Appreciate it 🙏🏽
Benji's as your last stop was good
Lol, yup
Not a Chinese food spot, but on the southern main road in Curepe, is a Thai Place Called Sombat, pretty good food!
Heard about there, have to do a Thai food hopping one of these days
All chinese food taste the same to me,would love to try an exceptional one.
They more or less do, the current Jenny’s Wuk on the blvd and town are close to exceptional
Chinese food that is sold to the public is very different to what Chinese eat themselves.
I tried food from that Pierre road Chinese restaurant before they are good 👍
Yup
Niceee
Whoaa
Hey a good video will be best food outlet in different major Malls.
That it would, early predictions would say Gulf City, as it has more variety compared to the rest, but Trincity may be a close second
Kenny’s right near the bang one stone throw away best Chinese
Next rounds, feel I’ve to do a Bella and Sando one
I love "Towns " restaurant best tasting food
Yup,and their taste in consistent
I live close to wing hua pierre road, been eating their food for the last 15 years and their standard have remained top notch, probably the best on the island.I hope it stays that way for a long time to come
And that’s a testament to any restaurant, they have never disappointed every time I visit
I agree👍
John's restaurant in Princess Town, near the princess town market
Will check them out next time I’m down that side
If you ever in South Oropouche, you could try South Lake for Chinese Food
Think I had wantons there a time, lol, but will try their Chinese food next time I’m down that side
Hi nice food
Greetings and thanks
Hey great video keep it up....... u should try Golden Palace on Marabella Main road opposite Trinpad I grew up in Marabella and have been eating there all my life and I'm 38yrs old....
That was once a staple in my house, lol, I grew up in Marabella
@@TrinbagoVibes Nice Marabella peeps......
@@DarkAngel-yk7pw yup
You can do a secondary school hopping exploring the various type of school around the country and it's ratings. Students who excel and made an impact in society country or internationally.
That would be a challenging one bro, it might be easier to tackle it from a historical aspect
Here nah we could follow you on your food trip awah
One of the best Best tasting Chinese Food I ever ate came out of a Rat and Cockroach Infested Chinese Restaurant in Princes Town some Years ago...I was working the area as a sales representative and my blood glucose level began to drop rapidly....I pulled into the first food place I saw...I ordered Char-sue Pork, Chunky mixed veges and Chinese Noodles...While waiting for the food I drank a small coke which caused my blood sugar to elevate back to normal levels...Anyway I started to take notice of how Filthy and run down the place was...I already paid for the food so I didn't want to seem ignorant ...Anyway, when I got the food I prayed long and hard that I would not Die from Cholera...I took the first bite and the taste was Dynamite...I could feel my Taste Palate Exploding with Joy....Maybe the Cockroach and Rats added that extra kick...I don't know...I went back 2 weeks later an to my disappointment the Restaurant was shut down...DARN....
Wow, now that is a story for the ages, glad nothing happen to you and at the same time it’s possibly a good thing they had closed down, lol
These prices are cheap for a combo plate. In Chinatown Los Angeles, you can't get a chow main, fried rice and roast chicken combo plate for $5. More like $10, and generally the restaurant food tastes the same, more or less. The food might be better in areas populated with Asian Chinese. The Wing Hua and Ying Ban chicken looked like it was just cooked, and moist. The bar chicken looked like it was reheated. You should try Guyanese Chinese fried rice and chow mein.
One day, whenever I reach across to Guyana
Nice you should try Chinese in sangre grande and you should try ramstyle chicken
Any particular one in Grande? or just visit all, lol
@@TrinbagoVibes If you coming to Sangre Grande you need to try these Chinese restaurants
1). Chinese Garden
2). Cantonese wok
3). Asian chopsticks
4). Xing Xing Chinese restaurant
@@kavitasewnauth7809 thanks, so anything in particular to order from them?
It’s 8pm u have me on the road looking for Chinese food 😞🤣
Lol, I need to put those disclaimers at the beginning of these videos
my favorite trini chinese is Jennys (POS),House of Chan (POS) and Asian Wok (San Juan)...everywhere else just doesn't compare dread.!
Jenny’s over Towne 👀 I mean I heard Jenny’s got some new chefs so that’s interesting
For eg ..Chinese approx is $25, bbq $10/$20 chicken and fries or rice and chicken $25
Yup, Chinese in town is around $25 as well, actually that’s St. James side
Hi Rajiv I think the second one the most expensive one did not really have standard yeah I think the fourth one was the best one for me the fourth one you should try Daybie Chinese coming down to penile Clark Road area
Hey Usha, next time I’m in d area will pop in and try them out…anything in particular to order?
Good night. Wing Hua is actually at the corner or Pierre Road & Caroni Savannah Road.
That it is, but the entrance is on the Caroni Savannah road
Chef King at the corner of Diego Martin Main Rd and Sierra Leone Rd is boss. Try the cream cheese fry wantons too
Cream cheese wantons is always a best dish, adding them to the list for round 2
The Chinese restaurant next to Princess town police station is rell boss💯💯
Ohhh, will have to check that out next time I’m that side
Kenny's in Marabella has really good Chinese food!
So I heard, lol, will try them one of these days
Will try one day hopefully
More south u go cheaper that special gets .. you should do a prices differences for the same items from POS vs chag vs debe /penal ..for eg .Chinese, BBQ or fries and chicken ..
That’s a good idea and will require some planning, but I’ll see if I can get that done sometime this year
If u do it big meh up for the idea 😆
@@christopherganeseakaspecs2249 definitely
HIQ Chinese Restaurant in Heartland Plaza is really good.
was always wondering about there, will try them out one of these days
Great video with honest critique again, Rajeev. If you really want spectacular "burnt wok" flavorful rice and chicken, you gotta check out Skycity Chinese Restaurant, half way up the El Socorro Rd. in San Juan. One way to know if the rice is going to have that nice "burnt wok" taste is by the dark color. Light colored fried rice is almost always undercooked and tasteless.
That’s true, not enough “wok hay”…will definitely check them out next time I’m in that area
This man here knows his Chinese food
Next time try the “chicken over rice” at Shanghai express
Ohhh, is it similar to the Halal Guys in NY?
Ho Sing’s Marabella is my fave, especially their Singapore noodles mixed meat
Whoaaa, that was my spot as well, when I was still living Marabella
@@TrinbagoVibes I’m not even from Marabella, I’ve had Chinese all over Trinidad & still prefer to drive down to HoSing’s to get my Chinese food fix lol
@@samanthadeaspe8035 wow, now that is dedication…respect
Missing Trini Chinese food so bad!!! Lol
Lol, ihu, I should have placed a disclaimer at the beginning: May increase desire for Chinese food
I think the one in Marabella is a good one for me to try
That they are or at least they use to be a slight above the rest, but some days they fall on the normal Chinese food spectrum
Benji's
Awesome menu.......fabulously tasting food.
Wing Hua........multiple outlets paired with great tasting food!!!!!!!
I like them both.
Spicy fried mushrooms from Benji's........absolutely fantastic.
Somehow the one in Charlieville does always hit the spot as compared to the other ones…and next time I’m down Benji’s side will pop in and try those spicy mushrooms
@@TrinbagoVibes definitely. They're a hit 💯% of the time.
FIRST of all.... BADDDD JERSEY!!!!!!!!
I was wondering how you wait so long to big up Wan's inno!!! Outside of that, there's Golden Palace and Ho Sing in Marabella itself. Manahambre Road (After Food Basket - heading to Princes Town) has Wong Ming which is pretty good too!
Big up Benji's!! Seerie's Bar right before them on the right side has a besssssssssss roti btw, but I know you conquered rotis already lol
Whoaaa, was working with some some suggestions by peeps, lol and well planning a Marabella and Sand Chinese Food hopping sometime in d future….next time I’m on d Manahambre will check Wong Ming and as for d roti, well we always looking for a good roti shop
@@TrinbagoVibes yessss and after the Wong Ming I mentioned, there is a Tara's Roti shop too. She is toooo good that she often sells out by 11.45am🥲🥲🥲🥲 lolz
I kno it was about chinese food but Shanghai express is good for their Thai dishes gotta say....great vid tho bro 👌
Interesting, May have to do a Thai food hopping sometime down the road 🤔
Hii you should try wo ping Chinese restaurant Tobago port mall it’s the best in Trinidad and Tobago highly recommended
Ohhh, nice, next time I hop across our sister isle, I’ll give them a try, thanks for the recommendation 😁
Take care u get fry dog u know ask for a wing😄😄
Once it tasting like chicken 🤷🏽♂️
Wing Hua beats all
Yup
