Reviews for A Taste of Bim (Caribbean Cuisine) in Eureka, CA
Here's the thing, the food is amazing. For takeout im sure it's amazing. I got the beef bowl and it was absolutely amazing and I... loved it. However the rest of the expirience was nothing but wretched. The service was an absolute 1 star. At first I think thewaitress thought we just wanted to just sit outside and not eat for some reason. That resolved itself after a couple minutes. Myentire stay lasted for 2 hours due entirely to slow service. My friend ordered the lentil burger and it was cooked to death. Ifit wasn't for the great taste, this would be an easy 1 star. I want to love you, Taste of Bim, but I cannot. Read more
Just tried this place with the family, and it was honestly a terrible experience. Half the food was cold, the other half burning... hot and all of it was super greasy. And it was pretty expensive for the size of portions. Tables and utensils were unclean. Thevibe of the place was off. We ended up spending $70+ on food that was really gross and unsatisfying.

Extremely unfriendly and rude service (girl with glasses). We ordered only drinks and a snack (empanada) and this seemed already... too little. My tea took a while but then as it was served it was not even warm. The empanada took extremely long (definitely30-40 min.) and was served unappetizingly, a piece broken, rather dry. In the end couldn't drink or eat, just wasted the timeand money and was awed with the bad service. There are better places to go to in Eureka! Read more
Was here with my wife today. The waitress was not in a good mood, I felt almost sorry for not ordering food and just ordering a... drink. My wife ordered a tea and an empanada. The tea was not even warm and the empanada was served after half an hour andbroken. We mentioned it and got no excuse or a suggestion for any solution. Not a good experience at all. Read more
We ate here for the first time last night. We weren?t sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised by what we ordered. The... sautéed veggies is NOT what you would think, it?s more of a stew that paired deliciously with rice and peas. I got it with thefried chicken and thought I?d be getting something ?simple? but instead it was perfectly cooked , very moist and was uniquelyseasoned. My husband got the curry chicken rice bowl and ate nearly the whole thing (he?s not a huge eater). We have had currychicken many times before but the flavors of this one was different. Both plates were very flavorful, as well as their awardwinning grilled oysters that we had for appetizer. Meals were large portions that we took home to have for lunch today. And fornon-alcoholic drinks- I had the hibiscus and my husband the guava. They were both very good, though I added more water to mine(I like my drinks not too sweet and watered down but that?s a personal preference). Both of our servers were very friendly andprompt, but one in particular who was very descriptive with other dishes on the menu-where the oysters and fish came from, howthey?re cooked, portions (to share or individual). Sadly we did not catch her name but she is the reason we now want to keepcoming back to try everything they have at least once. She even drew characters on our to-go box! We love to eat out and trydifferent foods, but if you?re thinking of going somewhere for lunch or dinner and are wanting something hearty with lots offlavor, this is the place to visit. Oh, & don?t forget their plantains. You think you know what you?re getting until you takeyour first bite! Read more
Delicious food with well sized portions! We had a bit of a wait but they have outdoor seating so it was nice to relax with a... local cider. Read more
So delicious! We got the frizzled cod fish and the curry goat and both were yummy. The frizzled cod fish had a lot of flavors... and a nice sweet taste. It went great with mashed potatoes. The curry goat was definitely a must if you like goat/lamb, but itwas more simple/bland than the frizzled cod fish. I enjoyed them both! Read more
Tastier than I expected! Very filling and hearty. Mashed potatoes were super smooth. Large portions, my one entree of fish stew... lasted two meals. Read more
