Prices are going up and you get less food now with the Large that is no longer large. It’s unfortunate.

Very upset someone asked me to pick up some food for them it was a large order of oxtail. The small Frame lady she’s around around 5’4” tall serve me. She is arguing with me that she is using the large container and I’m telling her the container is not the large. She kept telling me and I kept telling her. I was trying not to be disrespectful and I should’ve called somebody else to assist me.

She charged me for a large oxtail in a medium container. And I’m not even arguing about the money is the fact that someone else sent me to the store to make the purchase for them that’s what I’m upset about. She can never serve me again. Never ever ever if she’s the only person in the story which I don’t think that would ever happen because they are always busy she can’t serve me.

I am Jamaican so I tend to go searching for Jamaican food.If yiu is a yardie and is longing for some Jamaican food.....jus check Golden Krust. They not only offer a variety of Jamaican cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but the Chefs' does their best to remind you of what Jamaican food tastes like especially to those who has never consumed a Jamaican dish.

The rice and peas with oxtail really missed the mark for me!the flavor just wasn’t there, and the oxtail was soft but not tasty. Definitely not what I was hoping for. That said, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was nice, which made the experience a bit better. Just wish the food matched the vibe.

Great spot with amazing Jamaican food—probably the best around! In the winter, you have to try their delicious soups. You know the food is legit when the staff has that classic no-nonsense Caribbean attitude—it’s part of the charm! Just a heads-up: this place gets a lot of love from the local Caribbean community, so it helps to know what you want before you step up. No time for hesitation when the flavor’s this serious.

I usually go to the Golden Krust location in Union, where I’ve always had a great experience. However, I decided to visit this location because it was closer to my salon and, being pregnant and hungry, I couldn’t make it to my usual spot. While the food was fresh and tasted good, the customer service was absolutely horrible.

The staff was incredibly rude and took their sweet time serving customers. To make matters worse, one of the staff members skipped me twice! I would have understood if someone else had been ahead of me, but that wasn’t the case. The lady serving even told another staff member that I wasn’t next when I clearly was. It took the person behind me stepping in to point out that I was next in line.

This experience was extremely disappointing. I came here expecting the same level of service I’ve experienced at other locations, but I won’t be returning to this one.

If I can give 0 stars, I would. The service there is terrible. It’s seems like they are only good to other Jamaicans and not anyone else. That’s discriminatory. The workers have a nasty attitude and the food is not good. They need to hire new people or something because if they don’t, the places will get shut down sooner or later. Why have an attitude, when you could just serve the food and go on about your day? I will never come back here.
