“The food was served really quick and it was good delicious. All though, they don't reveal any ingredients for the drinks which is disappointing cause we were fooled thinking their special drinks ( Watermelon punch) was carbonation. The restaurant was really homely reminding me of my home country Kenya. But the Regaee punch, jerk chicken combo, and both of their meat patties were to dieeee for ?Dietary restrictions: The food is soul food which is packed with fat and sugar, the food was perfectly salted ( barely none to some) which I enjoyed But this was definitely not healthy ?“
“The absolute best Jamaican food I've ever had!!! And I've tried several spots. This place hands down has the best flavors of all of them. I literally licked the plate! Lol! My favorite is the oxtail ???Everyone needs to try this place. You will be hooked and craving it all the time.“

“As soon as I got to LA this was the first meal I had and booooooy. The first bite made me dance. Great menu, lovely food, and the sorrel brought me back to life. I ordered through uber eats but on my next visit I'm coming in for all the yummy eats!❤“
“This is the spot!! Honestly, everything about it was 5 stars. We started off with their crab cakes and the featured mango ceviche; delicious, fast, and so fresh. The server walked us through the menu, including all of their featured specials of the day which all sounded amazing. I tried the mango mojito and the Brazilian mojito; the mango one was just a little sweet for my liking but still excellent and the Brazilian one was heavier on the lime flavor (less sweet) and I loved it! Next, we ordered the shrimp special of the day which came with a delicious rice pilaf, vegetable medley, and a shrimp and veggie large skewer in a delicious salsa verde, plus plantains. This dish was a great sized portion, definitely could share this between 2 people, and it was absolutely scrumptious. We also had the shrimp pizza, also great, and finally the coconut flan. I definitely recommend this spot to anyone and I will be back!“
“I had a good experience here. One side of the building is a health store where you can get all your black owned products such as black seed, toothpaste, walkers wood jerk seasoning, And other stuff you can’t find anywhere in other stores.Not size the restaurant where they have a plethora selection of smoothies, convenient drinks, and food on order. My favorite was the four options on Jamaican patties. For what they have there, their options are: shrimp and crab, spinach, chicken and jerk chicken (((spicy.)).“
“I went to dinner at Azucar last Friday, and the place was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious, the server was attentive and kind, and the place had an overall charm that made it perfect for a night out. I would highly recommend checking out this hidden gem before it becomes crazy popular.“
“we ordered togo here for a team lunch we were having near by- and it was ready just a few minutes early! which i was excited about! and they labeled all of our food and sauces so it was easy to distribute and it was all delicious!!! highly recommend“

“Wanda at the cashier was so nice to me today. I was coming from eye surgery and she pleasantly read off the menu for me. Also hooked me up with a scotch bonnet. The red peas soup with chicken foot was the best I've had, and the oxtail was delicious. Good portions, and that oxtail gravy will make your mouth water. Only minor quible is the plantain could have been sweeter/ riper. While they don't serve pork here, check it out anyway. The chef knows what he's doing!“
“I was craving Ackee and saltfish today and found this place online… I’m so glad I did… food was amazing, fresh and generous portions…and great/friendly service! I had the Ackee/saltfish with dumplings and the pineapple ginger and everything was really good! Can’t wait to go back!“
“Only have had breakfast here (i wish places skimp on the white rice.) Eggs with vegs, rice, plantains n fryjacks. The fryjacks are amazing, i left with extra to take home & they were still amazing 2 days later.Vegetarian options: Options available with no meat“
“The chef Garry fixed my food I had curry goat first time I ever had boneless goat it was very flavorful. The service was ok, the waitress never checked on me but once because my drink was off and she made a new one.Parking: Had to find parking and the light to turn onto Main Street is a nightmare I sat there 10 min waiting for a turn finally just got out turning lane went down some blocks and over to come back up“
“Very beautiful restaurant. Lovely fragrance of the tropics upon entry. It has a Belizean ambience all on its on. Clean and very dignified. The gentleman taking the orders makes you feel cherished and welcomed. He makes his customers feel at home with his hospitable mannerisms. The cook who remains to be seen is the talent that brings you back. I must admit I didn't like the fact that the table menus weren't updated. A friend of mine who introduced me to this establishment were under the impression they were, only to get to the register to find out certain items had gone up. That can be very misleading. We went with the dinner plate that consist of your choice of stew beans and rice or rice and beans, white or dark meat stew chicken, potato salad and plantain. This dinner plate takes your taste buds to Belize. We also decided to order a chicken tamale. It had an awesome taste but it was a little too moist. I'm not sure if due to the temperature it caused the tamale to fall apart but I'll give it another try on my next visit. This no photo was provided of the tamale. Parking is easy to find if they're not too crowded and the prices are reasonable for the amount of food that you receive. Some items are made at a certain time. So pay closer attention to those. I'll definitely be back. I'm thinking more like tomorrow!!!“
“Chef Bensford's food is delicious! I highly recommend The Island Kitchen. My wife and I have ordered for ourselves and I have catered with him for a short film project. Positive experiences both times. His food is authentic, intentional, and tasty. The oxtails! Oh my.“
“I've been indulging on Shabazz's bean pies for years. Rosalie's Caribbean Cuisine has the famous Shabazz bean pies. I had to buy a few of them, so I did ( dint judge me). I did share with my family as much as I could. Anybody that has never tried a bean pie ever in their life, should try Shabazz bean pies first and foremost, you will not be disappointed! Let me know what you think. I promise it's delicious.“

“I use to live up the street from the restaurant off of Brett Street. Every Friday I’d treat myself to a plate of brown stew chicken and two on payday Fridays. I’m now living in Ohio, and I I’ve thought about your food more than a 1000 times in the past two years. Your food is not just good. It’s the best I’ve ever had.“
“Probably some of the best food on Slauson Ave hands down. Got blessed and had the opportunity to meet the owner himself, big shout out to the chef himself he knows what he's doing in the kitchen! Highly recommended, the perfect spot to grab something to eat and visit Nipsey's Memorial.“
“This is the best Belizean restaurant we’ve had! Being married to a Belizean from Belize he is hyper critical of his food. He loved everything we got! The service is fantastic, the girl that was serving us was attentive, kind, and very personable. The restaurant is very clean! I must say the stew beans (chefs kiss) soooo good!“
“The aroma when u step in would keep u in looking at the foods.Trying the chicken patty before eating food that's like appetizers.Then I recommend jerk chicken, curry goat yea with riceDamn it's goodThere are other meals tooCurry chicken ,Oxtail too“
“The food was great. The host was pleasant. The vibe was awesome. My husband has missed Trini food from back home (Brooklyn, NY.) We traveled far away to this spot, and it was well worth it. The chicken roti, dblz and potato roti were all to my husbands liking. We'll definitely take another trip west for this cuisine.“
“I was craving some Caribbean food and saw that this restaurant was nearby so I thought I’d give it a shot. I normally don’t go to restaurants I haven’t been to before or have heard personal testimony about but when I tell you that going to this restaurant was the best decision I’ve made, I mean it. The staff were really friendly and the food was DELICIOUS! I’d definitely recommend coming here and I’ll be back again this week!“
“One of the better Jamaican restaurants in the South Bay area. I got the Jerk chicken dinner with three sides which after taxes comes to around $24.00 or so, but the food is worth it. They also have lunch specials, but only during the week. Definitely would recommend to those fans of Jamaican cuisine.“
“Time for clean up. Clean up people on exterior. Managment of lot needs to help them. I had someone following me from another local place that was closed (holiday) and when he arrived he left because of all the "homies" yardies dem and homeless hanging in front of the entrance.“
“The food was delicious. They have a good lunch special deal. I got the oxtail, rice with bean, fried plantains, and potato salad. All I needed was my fork to pull the meat off the bone of the oxtail. The sides all complemented each other. I liked to mix my potato salad and rice together. So good. I will definitely be back.“
“What can be said about Donna's that hasn't already been said about the wheel, sliced bread, or the moon landing? This is truly a monumental feat in the culinary space. Your tastebuds will be thanking you for weeks and yearning to return to try more of her delicious cooking. The j*** chicken fell off the bone and was so juicy and flavorful it had my whole team laying on the praise for her and her team's fantastic cooking. She had a veggie plate and gave us some spare sides and I also got to sample a beef patty that was out of this world. Big portion size, got our order of 9 people 100% right, and was just the best!Can't wait to come back and if you don't go here, you have made a mistake.Thanks to Donna and her team for blessing us with this AMAZING FOOD!Note: The prices on her google doc are outdated and the large plate is now about $20-22 but still well worth it.Vegetarian options: She has a veggie plate on all days despite what the menu says.“
“The food was just delicious. We ordered Oxtail, cow foot soup, the sampler plate that has salbutes, panades, garnaches, and tostados and had a slice of milk cake . Everything was very good, the portion sizes were great. Will definitely be returning.“
