Joan & Sisters | Belizean & American Food is a hidden gem that delivers incredible flavor and a truly unique dining experience. The Belizean dishes are rich, authentic, and full of depth, while the American options are just as satisfying and well-prepared.

The staff that took our order was kind, friendly, and very helpful. What an awesome and very clean establishment.

Thanks again.“

“I just ate here for my birthday on Saturday. I have been to Belize and this food took me right back there. The owner Leslie, is from Belize and is very friendly and attentive, as his the staff. Phenomenal food, and large portions. Get the sampler platter for your appetizer, you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend this restaurant. If you are ever in Gardena, you should stop here. Gardena Cinema is a few blocks away, and is also fantastic. The restaurant closes at 7pm, and most shows start at 7:30, so it makes for the perfect evening.“

“She is always a nice person . Food is decent but portions are a little small as far as meat is concerned . Being from the east coast we have plenty of island cuisine . And it feels good to get some in Inglewood. All she has to do is offer a bigger selection of food . Normally it's just one Jamaican dish to choose from and bean pies and the normal soups and American food . All are great. Just wish she had a bigger variety“

“You would never know from the outside how amazing the food is on the inside. Let me tell you something Stop by this place If you like flavor. It's amazing very good portions. Homemade fresh pepper sauce. I recommend this place a thousand percent! It's the true hole in the wall that you find that you're like oh my God I will always go back there's long cuz I pass by.“

“It’s real deal jerk chicken! Perfectly marinated, seasoned and grilled Smokey flavor; crisp skin, tender and juicy. Escovich fish was also authentic: a whole fish freshly fried with tangy and spicy vinegar, onion and scotch bonnet sauce. The oxtails were a miss for me; a bit on the sweet side.“

“Great atmosphere, great staff, polite, humble, respectful, great food 🥑🥝 and if you want to go next door for some Snoop Dogg clothing, and store, right next door
But that's not the best thing about this particular business establishment, it's open at 8;00 am like know other businesses that are similar.... that itself is a plus
But don't take my word for it...try it yourself, and take some friends and family 🙏🏾🙏🏿🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🦾🦾🦾“

“The curry goat and jerk salmon were good.“

“recently stopped by Lee’s Caribbean Restaurant in Inglewood and really enjoyed the experience. The vibe is welcoming and laid-back — perfect for something casual but still feel like a solid meal out. Staff were friendly and helpful from the moment I walked in.

We ordered a variety of dishes and every one tasted fresh and flavorful. The jerk chicken had a nice kick, the rice and peas were well seasoned, and the portions were generous. The sides were cooked right, and the overall meal felt like real, home-cooked Caribbean comfort. Drinks complemented the food well — good value and nice flavor.

If you’re in Inglewood and craving Caribbean food that hits the spot without fuss, Lee’s is worth a visit. Solid flavors, friendly service, and a chill vibe — I’ll definitely go back.“

“Finger Licking & Delicious!!!🤤“
