Hibiscus Lounge Ll - Broad Channel

This restaurant is amazing the shrimp I had was the best ever!! I recommend this place to anyone

This review is based on my personal experience, on January 27, 2023, I bought a house special and chicken Fried Rice. I've been eating Hibiscus for years but recently the food was a disaster and today was the breaking point, there was little to no chicken and the chicken was very dry/stale, we could barely eat the food. After some research and reading other 1-star reviews, it came to my attention that this establishment has 9 violations from the New York State Health Department issued on January 25, 2023, only 2 days ago. This restaurant needs to be shut down with all these violations or another health check because the food that is being served isn't healthy and definitely not sanitary. This business will serve anything to the West Indian community and people will buy it because they feel like they don't have a choice but yes they do. Don't support a business like this that takes advantage of their people and serves garbage for food.

Service is slow food is good. Waitress need a better attitude and food needs be a little more hot. Great fried rice.

I'm really disappointed with the decline in quality at Hibiscus. The food has gotten worse, and they keep raising the prices. Recently, my dad, who has been buying fried rice from there for years, had a terrible experience with stale and cold rice. It made him sick for a whole week. I strongly advise against eating there because the quality has seriously gone down, and it can be a risk to your health. The restaurant has a dirty and cramped atmosphere, and the staff is always rude and inattentive. Hibiscus used to be the best West Indian restaurant in Queens Village, but now it's not doing well. It's important not to support a place that serves bad and old food. I also found out that the restaurant received nine violations from the New York State Health Department on January 25, 2023. These violations include things like not having the proper food safety certification, not properly cleaning food contact surfaces, having evidence of mice, not maintaining proper food temperatures, and not keeping the establishment free from pests. They also had issues with dishwashing and sanitization of utensils and equipment.

We came to the restaurant on a calm Saturday afternoon where there were only a few other parties here. The food was very good and the portions are huge. There’s a lot going on from ringing phones, to loud music, etc. but it’s still a great spot. Would definitely come back for a drink and some small bites!
