★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Really cute place and the service was excellent. It has mostly a carribbean vibe but with a few fusions I think. Like one of us had an oxtail egg roll. I had the roasted chicken bowl and subbed brown rice. It also had pickled onions vegetables , not just carrots or broccoli but leafy greens, and an avocado type sauce. The food was delicious. I would definitely return. We went to the one in Harlem 🙌🏾
August 26 · Phoenyx LongField trip does great food fressshhhh! Black owned. Rice bowls where they care about the quality of the bowl all the way down to the rice, to the base, up to the tippity top. Even the veggies are flavorful here! 🖤
July 22 · Bridget Harvey TeamI was really excited about trying field trip. Really wanted to try the crab pockets but they didn't have any that day.I ordered the bbq fried chicken bowl with the bbq on the side and added a piece of salmon. Side order of plantains as well.The rice and veggies were absolutely amazing! Couldn't get enough of that... I wish I could say the same thing about the protein.. the chicken was dry and the salmon, although it was juicy it was severely unseasoned not even a pinch of salt. I also didn't quite like the bbq sauce.. I almost forgot got about the homemade rice crispy treat !! That was delicious.
August 26 · Honey monroeDon't walk... run!Order: Braised beef rice bowl.This establishment is serving all of the good flavors! I tried each item in my bowl individually before mixing it together and not one was a miss. Each ingredient is made with intention and packed with flavor. Braised beef was so tender and the veggies were so good! LISA served me and was a gem!
April 14 · Princess SofiaTried the braised beef bowl. Average price for NYC, portions were good, taste was generally good.Beef was tender. One of the sauces in the bowl was flavorful, tasty.
