Golden Krust Caribbean Bakery Inc.

This is my first review on Unilocal,and I picked a winner to write about. I was originally looking for another restaurant in the area, but made a turn too quickly, and missed it. I decided to just fill myself at a nearby Chinese buffet. Next door was Golden Krust. I enjoy a good Caribbean meal, so I thought I’d check it out.
The small dining area was quite clean, and one of the workers was stocking the freezer with all types of Jamaican ice cream. I didn’t succumb to that temptation… more on that later.
One thing that struck me right away was the menu’s lack of pork items. It’s the second Caribbean place I’ve tried that doesn’t do pork. Maybe it’s a Bronx thing. No matter, I ordered a small chicken soup, and curried goat with rice & peas.
When I got to the hotel, I spread everything out and started in. The chicken soup was wonderfully flavorful, with huge chunks of potatoes, chicken-​with-​bone, and various root vegetables. Delicious and so charming! It was almost enough for dinner, but I had to get into that curried goat. I felt I chose well, because the next two customers ordered it too. I was not disappointed in the least. Tender chunks of meat, with just enough bite so as not to fall off the fork. The sauce was sumptuous and the fragrance of its whole spices filled the room. Even the rice was different, non-​sticky with a touch of aromatic sweetness. All in all completely satisfying.
Back to dessert. How could I settle for ice cream when a locally made Red Velvet cake was staring me in the face? Perfect ending to a great meal.
I’ve been working here in the Bronx for over a week now, and I’ve tried different food places each evening. Golden Krust is the first place where I am happy to say I will be back!

It’s about time we got one of these. Golden Krust is a small city chain with good solid Carribean. The Jerk Chicken is always a good bet.

A new resto to the Yankee Stadium food scene. Right across the street from the Yankee Tavern on Gerard Ave. The Golden Krust bakery serves Carribean ethnic foods. Being a white guy from upstate NY there are definitly some items on the menu that will never cross my palette… Carribean delicacies such as curried goat and braised oxtail aren’t what come to mind when I think of baseball. The spicy beef patties and fried plantains on the other hand were pretty good. It was a little hot inside the restaurant but they may have been trying to simulate the carribbean climate who knows?
