We just ate there for lunch and both of us are excited to recommend it to friends and family! The food was really amazing. We both had jerk chicken, cabbage, and plantains. All three were terrific. The service was so very friendly and accommodating! The atmosphere is quite creative and welcoming. Please give them your business!

You will definitely have second thoughts when you pull up to this restaurant. Why? Because it’s located within a string of shabby rundown looking store fronts. But look past the outside, and you will be glad you took a leap of faith. Wah Gwan’s eccentric decor is very relaxing and the music playing puts you in a good mood. The customer service is top notch, the waitress was super nice and engaging. I encourage everyone looking for a great Caribbean meal to come here.

Jerk chicken- Comes with two pieces of tender well seasoned chicken, and a side of rice and cabbage. Completely satisfied with this entree.

Oxtails- Nice serving size of oxtails that is seasoned really good. Oxtails could’ve been a little more tender for my liking. But still good enough to enjoy my meal. This entree as comes with choice of rice and cabbage

This place is such a vibe. The food is scrumptious! I will definitely be going again next time I'm in KC. I ordered jerk chicken, curry goat with jollof rice and plantain. Then oxtail with rice and peas. So flavorful and generous portions.

Once again, I saw it on TikTok. I have been looking forward to trying this restaurant for a while now. Finally I had the time and opportunity. Sad to say I had such high hopes only to be let down. Looking on the website, I see the menu is very extensive and has pictures of every dish. I really wanted to try the oxtails. I go to place an online order, “we are not accepting online orders at this time”. Okay. I check doordash and can order there. Of course the prices are slightly higher but I really wanted to try it out. Unfortunately the doordash menu is not the same. The oxtails are not a choice. So I order the jerk chicken with cabbage and jollof rice for my husband. I get the fufu and egusi, a side of jerk chicken, a beef patty and a side of peas and rice. We go to pick it up. One thing I am not a fan of is there is no designated parking. We had to park along the side of the busy street, I hopped out and ran in to pick up my order. The vibes were great inside. I was greeted right away and given my food. In the car we immediately ate the beef patty. It was delicious. Getting home, I unloaded the bag and right away I realized they did not give me the rice and peas. That was disappointing but I reported it to doordash and moved on. I loved my food. It was really good with great flavor. My husband was not a fan. He prefers other Jamaican restaurants in the city. We wont be back but we are glad we tried it.

You can smell how delicious this will be before you even walk in! The goat curry and snapper are faves for good reason. But the team is what makes this place special. Can't wait to go back.

I spent $78 dollars for uber eats delivery requested utensils and check the box for utensils and food was delivered with not even a napkin in the bag that’s a lot of money for that lack of service.

Absolutely beautiful restaurant with amazing food to match. True authentic Jamaican cuisine with each bite reminding me of my parents cooking. Staff is so friendly! We had the oxtail, Rasta pasta and brown stew chicken. I have no complaints at all!
