Vybez Restaurant and Lounge in New York

"Place is not bad, sliders could've been cooked longer when asked for medium well and Sriracha sauce tasted more like a relish sauce. Wings were fine not your traditional lemon pepper. Drinks were good we had the rum punch. The drink menu needs to be updated to include the type of alcohol they had. The rasta pasta was really tasty I had it with shrimp. The service was friendly. Our server was the bartender and she did amazing. I've been to places with more staff and worst service. The only reason I'm not giving this place 5 stars is because they didn't have the actual apps and entrees we were interested in and we went when the place just opened. Outside of that good spot will try again."

"If you’re looking for a place that knows how to mix good food with good vibes, Vybz Restaurant understood the assignment. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was absolutely splendid warm lighting, great energy, and a staff that made me feel taken care of from start to finish. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and that alone set the tone for a great night. Let’s get into the food, because whew. Drink: I started with a margarita, and let me tell you perfectly balanced. Not too strong, not too sweet, just smooth and refreshing. Exactly how I like it. Appetizer: The oxtail spring rolls … listen. DELICIOUS!! A must-order. They come two in an order for $18, and honestly, worth every penny. The flavors were rich, the texture was perfect, and I almost wanted to order another round. Main Course: I went with the lamb chops meal with rice and peas (I was debating mashed potatoes—next time!). And yes, I ate everything on my plate. The lamb chops were seasoned to absolute perfection Caribbean flavors shining through with a sauce that had the right hint of sweet and spicy. The fresh spinach? Tasty. The rice? A little spicy, but I enjoyed it. The whole meal runs about $35, but the quality made it worth it. Overall, Vybz Restaurant impressed me from drink to dessert (even though I didn’t have dessert, the experience felt complete!). I highly recommend this spot, and I honestly can’t wait to go back. If you love flavorful Caribbean food and an atmosphere that makes you feel good, put Vybz on your list ASAP."

"OMGEEE... we ordered a bunch of things from the menu and everything was AMAZING!!!! I'm only a customer but I am super proud of Vybez. The food, drinks, and music were all a VIBE!!!! Run, don't walk and check them out ASAP. Erica and Ariel, the owner are the BEST! I will be back time and time again."

"I have been wanting to try this place for weeks. Lakia our waitress was so kind and friendly! I came here for mother’s day dinner with my parents and at first bite we all said “DAMNNNNNNN” this food exceeded expectations. I’m at the table writing this review on spot because I couldn’t wait to share how flavorful our food was. I can not wait to come back. We ordered the salmon, stewed oxtail and lamb chops listen I kid you not, Good vibes good and incredible service—You will not be disappointed!!!!"

"The vibes were perfect at Vybez. My partner and I came this evening for dinner and were blown away with the food. We made it in time for the end of happy hour and started with the oxtail spring rolls which were delicious. For dinner my partner had the coconut curry salmon and I had the jerk chicken (pictured) which fell off the bone the second my fork touched it. The portions were perfect and we left satisfied. There was a DJ since it was Friday night which set the mood and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. There’s no reason this place shouldn’t be wall to wall packed. Will definitely return and tell others to come check out Vybez!"

"This is truly a hidden gem! When I say the food, music and atmosphere is so good I mean it. Definitely a great go to spot for authentic Caribbean food and that’s why imma keep coming back lol.. oxtail spring rolls are absolutely my favorite and just a fav in general so don’t hesitate on popping up to show love"

"The food was really really good. The escovitch peppers were on point and very spicy. Drinks were delicious."

"My husband and I went to Vybz Restaurant last week on February 2, 2026. I didn’t know anyone there, but I was referred by a friend. I randomly asked her where I could get some really tasty food, and she said, “You have to go to Vybz Restaurant and try their food for yourself.” I had the lamb chops and my husband had the coconut salmon, and we were literally looking at each other like, oh my God, this is the best food we’ve had in a long time. The atmosphere is beautiful, and the staff are amazing. I can’t wait to go back—even now, I still have the taste of the food in my mouth. That’s just how good it was.My husband and I went to Vybz Restaurant last week on February 2, 2026. I didn’t know anyone there, but I was referred by a friend.
