Absolutely coming back to try everything else on the menu 10/10“

“Ever since I went to Belize in 2014 I've been trying to find the cuisine. Fryjacks for breakfast ?
Oxtail, beans & rice, plantains and potato salad(mayo) or cabbage slaw(vinegar).
Can't go wrong with the fried fish either.
The owners are always so friendly.
Thanks for a delicious meal every time. Can't miss spot when passing through LA.
Best Belizean food in SoCal.“

“My fiancé and I absolutely love this place! Every time we come in the area we drive 3 1/2 hours and this is our first stop every time! We were recently in town and we ate here twice between two days. The food is always consistent and so flavorful! It may look like a hole in the wall, but it is the best food around!“

“Simply Wholesome is the absolute best. Healthy food. Healthy drinks. Healthy products. AND they are black owned. I love love love love this place. I have absolutely no complaints. On a scale of 1-10. Definitely 100. Yes one hundred. I visit everytime I'm in LA.“

“It is one of the best Belizian food spots in South Los Angeles. The portions are hefty, and you can feed three people on one serving. The Oxtails and stew beans and rice are to die for. ? we have had oxtails at a lot of places, and their flavor is the best. Small place, and they have dine in. It's a must try. I forgot to take pictures. Will update on my next visit.“

“This was our first time in Los Angeles from Canada. My husband is Jamaican and is always looking for Jamaican food. We stopped by this restaurant. I had the curry goat, my son had the oxtail and my husband had the curry chicken. We were so impressed with the taste of all our meals. The food was seasoned so well that we thought we were in Jamaica. The owner made us feel like we were visiting a friend. I highly suggest visiting this restaurant.“

“Love eating here! Coming from NYC, this is the closest thing I have to Dominican Culture in LA. Always recommend my friends to try their food and they fall in love with the flavors that I grew up with. Also, customer service 10/10, the Dominican hospitality is real here!“

“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.“

“Nice, clean, and friendly Jamacia restaurant.

We felt as if we were home in Montego Bay again but without the 8-hour flight.

The jerk chicken meal, ox tail meal, and chicken soup were a delicious treat for our first time here.

Thank you so much!“
