Lakay Food Spot

Horrible customer service . I order their $8 Akra and I was so shock my the amount of oil that was in my food. It’s like they purposely was trying to give me a heart attack with all the oil that was left on the Akra. Even with squeezing the excess oil with paper towels, it still do no justice . I do not recommend this place at all

I recently visited LaKay Food Spot with coworkers, drawn in by the appealing pictures online. However, our experience was a letdown from the start. When I called ahead, the staff couldn't tell me what was on the menu, which was a red flag. Upon arrival, we struggled to find parking, having to park across the street. Inside, there was no host to greet us, and the menu was limited. Although the food is made fresh, the wait was long, and the atmosphere was chaotic. My coworker nearly slipped on the slick floor, and our table was dirty. To make matters worse, we witnessed a loud argument between employees, which wasn't exactly subtle. When our food arrived, the presentation was impressive, but the portions were small, and the prices were steep. Unfortunately, my meatballs were undercooked, and I was charged extra for a side of pikliz. For $53, we expected more food and better service. The attitude from the staff didn't help. Needless to say, we won't be returning. Perhaps the owners can work on improving their customer service, ambiance, and food quality to match the appealing pictures online.

I came here seeking some delicious, authentic Haitian food. Lakay did not miss. The food was hot, well seasoned and delicious. I waited about 20 minutes for my food and just vibed. It felt like I was in someone’s backyard (in a good way). The waiter was so hospitable. This is definitely my go to place from now on.

Late night pick up order Ordered griot platter. Once I received my food there was no rice. I asked why I wasn’t told that prior to my food being prepared since it wasn’t ready even after coming 20 mins later. Nothing but looks of bewilderment . I asked for a refund… the waitress rudely walked. Eventually I was told by the cook there was no refund available. Unprofessional. Just making the money. Doesn’t care about the customer especially If you’re not Haitian. This is my second time having an issue. I came from an entirely different county to patronize only to be disappointed and get attitude.

To begin with, the service was terrible. I visited the restaurant based on its Google ratings, which seemed quite favorable. I felt as if my status as a non-Haitian made me unimportant, which is understandable given that it is a Haitian restaurant. However, when I attempted to pay, they intentionally tried to overcharge me, as if they thought I wouldn’t notice, while the person at the register maneuvered the payment machine in a way that suited him. Just messed up as a hard working human being. MANAGERS DID NOTHING. Foo was good though.

I ordered the Kabrit (fried goat), which is listed on the menu as being served with Lakay rice, plantain, salad, and pikliz. When my food arrived, I noticed the rice was missing. I brought it to the server’s attention, and she returned with a serving of rice but I was charged extra for it. When I tried to explain that rice was supposed to be included with my meal, the server became frustrated and told me she only speaks Portuguese and Spanish. At that point, I chose to just pay and leave, especially since she already seemed to have an attitude when we arrived. On top of that, the card reader wasn’t working, and when we had to switch payment methods, she sucked her teeth in frustration. If the menu says a dish comes with certain items, customers should receive exactly what’s described without having to argue or pay extra. And even if there’s a language barrier, tools like Google Translate are easily available. I strongly suggest management considers better staff training or new servers to improve customer service

Stopped by for a late nite NYE cuisine! Lakay did not disappoint! I really enjoyed this meal! The spices were excellent! Rice and beans were excellent!

The food was amazing! The customer service was great. Our food did take a while to come but it was Friday and we didn’t have anywhere to be so it wasn’t a huge issue. I’ll def be back!

Food is great, just like home cooking. Authentic at its core...the kabrit, griot, and fish are excellent

My new favorite Haitian spot in Miami! Definitely perfect for a late night run and food grab. I have ordered the Tassot Turkey and Kabrit (Fried Goat) which are both super delicious and juicy. The meat falls straight off the bone, and every plate comes with rice and an order of fried green plantain. Pikliz was also very fresh and not too spicy, for the non-spicy foodies. The wait is short, under 20 minutes, and the outdoor area is a cute waiting spot with greenery and patio furniture. This is a food truck spot, but they do a very great job at making it inviting to customers and locals. Definitely add this to the list!

This was such a VIBE on a Saturday night. The string lights, the Haitian music, and excellent service were all a win in my book. With seating surrounding the truck there was plenty of room for our group of 5 to sprawl out. We brought games and beverages and enjoyed. Now, the FOOD! we ordered ribs and lanbi (grilled conch) and no crumbs were left! It was so good. It came with fried plantains (banan) and pikliz (Haitian spicy slaw) It was the perfect low key chill spot. Great food and vibes and great company too

3 stars bc they served me ice cold rice, other than that the griot was good the plantains were okay could've been crispier, I'll be back to try again

If I could give 0 stars I would. Terrible service, never going back, and you should never go here if you aren't hatian they have favoritism and literally gave our food to Haitians who came after us. We got there and ordered 2 plates, were told it was going to be 5 minutes, 30 minutes later when I asked how much longer, apparently they had no more chicken even though they were serving the hatian people that came after us. When I complained they finally gave us 1 plate instead of 2 because they said they had no more chicken. Then charged us full price for a plate of food and it didn't even come with rice like it was supposed to.

Great customer service, the fish was fresh and very flavorful. During my stay in Hallandale Beach I ordered 3 times , the fish were excellent rice and all. Je reviendrai E! Jude

Best Haitian food really good customer service and a vibe as well. I got fish and conch really good
