They have good Caribbean Jamaican food and I love the restaurant. It's self-serve you share your own food and before you can do that, there are signs there to wash your hands with soap and water and to wear gloves so it's very sanitary and clean

The best Cornmeal Poridge in New York I come here all the way from Manhattan before my shows just to drink it for good luck. Everyone that works here is very nice and it extremely clean 10/10 if the cornmeal porridge is this good I can only imagine how good the other food is

The food here is always so fresh and delicious. I look forward to coming here for lunch when I’m working in the neighborhood. It’s always a very speedy process to go around and get the items I wish and pay and be on my way. My favorite is the baked chicken.

Ppl there is 2 taxes at this restaurant 🙄 1 on the food if you pay with cash 💸 and 1if your credit card is being used just a piece of information
"A Caribbean Catastrophe: Where Dreams of Jerk Go to Lurk"
Darlings, let me tell you about Code 1414, a Jamaican establishment that's managed to turn island cuisine into an episode of "Survivor: Restaurant Edition." As someone who drew their first breath to the rhythm of reggae and the scent of scotch bonnet peppers, I felt compelled to give this spot a second chance after years of passing by – a decision I now rank somewhere between getting bangs and investing in cryptocurrency.
The food exists in that peculiar culinary limbo between "not quite terrible" and "definitely not good" – imagine if your grandmother's leftovers had their own leftovers, then decided to start a food truck. It's the kind of fare one might consume at 3 AM after a night out, when even a microwaved sock might seem appetizing with enough jerk sauce.
While I appreciate their valiant attempt at hygiene with signs warning patrons not to conduct impromptu taste tests or deliver soliloquies over the steam trays, the real theater begins at checkout. Picture this: you've filled your container, feeling rather pleased with your selections, only to discover their unique "pricing algorithm." The cashier performs what can only be described as a CSI-level investigation of your container's contents, weighing and scrutinizing it like a customs agent who's had too much coffee.
The piece de resistance? You might walk in expecting to pay for a simple weighted portion but end up financing what feels like a down payment on a small island nation – all because you dared to take half a fish instead of committing to the whole aquatic enterprise. At $40 for less than a pound of food, you're not just paying for dinner; you're investing in what might be Jamaica's most ambitious economic recovery program.
Suffice it to say, my wallet and I have decided to consciously uncouple from Code 1414. As we say in Jamaica, "mi done wit dat" – or in food critic speak, "I shall take my culinary adventures elsewhere, where my bank account isn't treated like a lottery winning."

Horrible customer service, especially from The old tough face lady and the long nail duty finger bright hair lady. Theirs no need to behave so nasty and send your nasty energy with people food. Today October 17 2024 at 4:25pm. I went to buy a cake and she said it’s a 14 dollar limit to use the card 🤣🤣 do that make sense ? I said okay add another cake. The cakes are $5 by the way. But she charge me $6 for each cake I just took t the over charger and walk. Because god don’t sleep. ROMANS 12:19 I would be wrong now if I call the inspection and point out what I see. God bless I leave it to god

This was my first time visiting this restaurant with my Mother and the staff were very helpful explaining each item. The pricing was fair and the staff was friendly that day and my best opinion lunchtime is the best time to go. I would definitely try again on the food purchased was a 7.5 out of 10.
