This was my first and last experience at island taste fusion. I order a jerk chicken with white rice and cabbage. I literally had zero to no chicken on my plate mostly skin and sauce…rice was slightly over cook I would have ate it but I had no chicken to eat it with. Only good thing about the plate was the cabbage the cabbage was a 8/10 everything else was terrible

The first time I went my food was great. Went today and my brown stew chicken was old , rice and peas was extremely hard after I asked him if my food was fresh & hot ! NEVER TF AGAIN IT WAS A WASTE OF MONEYParking: There wasn’t none
We live about 45 minutes from Island Taste Fusion but today is my husbands birthday and the ONLY thing he wanted was their delicious brown stew chicken so we took the ride. I tried the j*** chicken this time and if you ask me it was even better than the brown stew. The rice, cabbage and plantain could be meals on their own. We waited for the woman working the eatery to cook it while we sat at the bar, and then she delivered our meals to the bar in takeout containers so we could start our meal there and then finish the huge portions off when we got home. I cannot recommend this place enough. It's very clearly the product of love and expertise. The atmosphere is not fancy at all (it's just a stall alongside a small local dive bar) but the food is top notch and wonderfully priced.

We did a quick Google search for nearby restaurants and this precious gem came up. So…location may throw many off but don’t be fooled by the looks. The gentleman that took care of us was wonderful and as we were leaving he assured us that we will be back - guess what, we will. The food was DELICIOUS?. Our co-workers will follow-up tomorrow. I had the oxtail and my co-worker had the j*** chicken. The j*** chicken was spicy and delicious as well so if you’re willing to try this place out due come & support this business owner??
This is horrible! I had curry goat, little to no flavor. My boyfriend got soggy beef patties.

Most Authentic Jamaican food in ocean county. After moving back home from Philly at college I really was struggling to find a good authentic place to eat. Not only is the food authentic but the portions are great, the price isn’t bad and the customer service I received was very very professional. It’s so hard to find good places to eat around here besides Chinese, fast food, Italian or a Diner so to be able to buy a entire to go box of oxtail w rice and peas, steamed cabbage (that is amazing btw) plantain, Mac and cheese, a ginger beer and a side of j*** chicken all for 30$ I couldn’t believe it, and considering the portions are huge they not only feed me dinner but I always end up with extra to be able to bring into work w me. I highly suggest island taste, especially the oxtail and cabbage. It sucks that we don’t have more diversity in terms of food / culture sharing in this area so I really can’t stress enough when I say go check them out. I’d hate to see a place with such amazing food and staff ever struggle or go outta business, I was traveling all the way from Lacey Township to New Brunswick any time I wanted good Jamaican food bc I couldn’t find ANY in the area. Seriously give island taste a shot and you will not be disappointed

Unexpectedly came across this and I was extremely impressed. The food was delicious and cooked with love. The lady behind the counter was very nice too. I will be returning for sure.
