The food was amazing. The prices were totally overpriced. I ordered oxtails and only received three and nothing but fat and bones. My fiancé ordered lamb chops. The rice and peas were hard and dry. The oxtail mac & cheese were also amazing with only bones and no meat on the oxtails, which came with four smh.. We came in on Valentine’s Day and I must say they are not use to a big crowd. The servers were all over the place and didn’t remember our orders nor our drinks I would go back but never on a busy day for the price we paid $230 was not worth it on a very good loving holiday. they also add gratuity and they did not deserve a tip at all that night. My overall experience I did not like ..if I were to go back I pray that things will be more better when it comes to the servers and the bartender was constantly tasting the drinks right before serving which was very unacceptable and nasty. unsanitary is the correct word.

Mediocre overpriced food. Nothing special and rice and peas weren't good at all. Very small portions. Not good overall value for the price. Great service but didn't like the 18% gratuity front loaded to your check. Probably won't go back.

The worst ?? food I've tasted..i had the oxtail bowl... the Oxtails had no seasoning.. rice and peas bland..i had like 3 oxtails? the only thing was good..The plantains and cabbage. the bowls are not worth the price..if you want good Jamaican food try NaturaliArt..beef Patty's..oxtail plates..DELICIOUS!!!..and worth the price..
Very unsatisfied customer ?

I really wanted to like this place. The ambience was nice, the food was pretty good and the drinks were decent. My two major issues are service and price.

Service was more about quantity than quality. “D” was excellent. But it was only one of him greeting people, taking orders, bartending, and bringing the food out. Once he got above two tables it was nearly impossible to properly give good service. At least one more person on shift would have made the experience so much better.

The second issue is the price. For two people each with one drink my bill came to 209.10$ and this includes and automatic 18% gratuity already added to the bill. I must have missed the fine print on the menu about this. I ordered the fish entree that came with no sides. Why??? So now add rice & peas - 7$ festival Bread 10$, fried plantain - 10$. It should just be part of the meal.

The oxtail Mac & cheese was actually pretty good but for 30$ it’s a bit overpriced as a starter.

Basically they have some good Jamaican chefs, just not enough investment in the service. I don’t like feeling like I am getting taking advantage when I go out to eat. I would not be going back unless something changes.

Visiting from Texas celebrating our 9yr anniversary and I have to say the customer service was definitely a 100/10 Aja and D were amazing and very welcoming. We had the rum punch, which was right on point not too sweet like I normally get it was just right. Our food was sooo good hot and fresh w great timing. We will always come back thanks and refer visitors.

Love this spot, it’s definitely a vibe in little Tokyo. My go tos every time has to be the jerk mac and cheese and the jerk wings. I like my sauce on the side but it delicious both ways. Patties are bomb too so if they are available I’m getting the beef! Good music and great hospitality! ♥️

My mom and I had the most amazing meal with the most amazing service. The vibe in the restaurant is energetic. Can be loud with the good music and patrons combined. Highly recommend. Oxtail Mac, meat pie, stewed chicken, watermelon. YUM!

We made reservations for 5 pm for my baby birthday. He turned 13 this was their first time trying this kind of food. It was not crowded plenty of tables but we still had to wait to be seated. Finally sat down and then we had to wait for someone to take are order it was one waiter and one bartender. They seem to be overwhelmed and it wasn’t even crowded. We waited a whole hour for our food. The food was warm, some was salty the rice was gummy and sticky no flavor but spicy as hell. The jerk chicken was disgusting it made you choke from the over seasonings. The oxtails were so tough that you can tell they were leftovers that they just warmed up. They didn’t have any lamb chops so my husband didn’t even order anything. This is the worse place and food I have ever had. We drove from Long Beach it was a waste of our time and money and my son’s birthday dinner was ruined. He didn’t even want us to sing Happy Birthday to him, he was ready to go. We left all the food on the table!!

Lively way to spend Father's Day - good music and videos, great food , creative beverages and desserts, with attentive service by Diamond. The owner Ms Dawson has created a hidden gem. A must visit.

I waiting 30 minutes just for my drink, another 30 to order my food, and idk how long it took for my food to come! The jerk wasn't as spicy as expected, the patties were dry..on the bright side the drinks were nice and strong!!

Had a wonderful time celebrating with my family for my bday! Everyone enjoyed their food and it was just a whole vibe! Our server Diamond was amazing!! She took care of all 20 of us with no issues and she was so attentive! Everyone said they will be back soon.
