My reservation was for 6:15 but my show finished early so I arrived at 5:30 and they were able to accommodate my wife and I. Service was quick. Waiters were very attentive. I noted in my reservation that it was my wife's birthday and they automatically placed a candle on her dessert, played special birthday music and the entire restaurant sing along. It felt super special. The food was amazing, very tasty. My wife had the ribeye and I had the jerk chicken. I ordered a vegan dish for my daughter to go and she loved it. I'm def coming back.

Food was very good as was the atmosphere. My only complaint is that I ordered the jerk chicken and received a very small portion. I got two little pieces of chicken when my friend who ordered the same thing got twice the food I did.

I can't recommend Jasmine's enough. I'm always looking for different cuisines and Jasmine's hit the nail on the head! The drinks are excellent and food authentic. I will be back!

Very impressive decor. Made you feel like you were in the Caribbean. Empanadas we're ok. Jerk wings were delicious.Oxtail was delicious, but boneless would have been better. Rum punch was disappointing.

all-around delightful dining experience -- the food, the staff - and owners (!) - the decor, the ambiance. (however, if you don't like loud music blasting into your ears while dining/chatting, don't sit at the high-top tables -- wasn't too bad at first, but they upped the volume at 7p).

Fabulous, what a wonderful dinner. Great vibe, decorative and delicious food. The drinks (including a mock tail) were fantastic. Can't go wrong here. The jerk chicken dish is not to be missed.

Excellent Vibe at Jasmine's!! At first I was concerned about the noise level and hearing each other over the music bc the restaurant is small. But the deejay was great and we had no problem hearing each other over the music. Food was tasty but portions are small so if you come hungry, order an appetizer. Our waitress was awesome too!

We dined at Jasmine's after a Broadway show. We had a reservation for two for 4:30pm. When we arrived we were greated by a young man with beautiful hair. The restaurant is very small and the tables are close together. We sat next to a table of four, and it felt like we were sitting with them. We had to try hard not to be all up in their conversation and vice versa. Our waitress was friendly and brought the food quicker than we anticipated. We ordered curry shrimp, jerk chicken, and mac & cheese. The food was fine. Nothing spectacular. Our least favorite dish was the mac & cheese. The music was good. Overall, it was a fine experience. We don't feel the need to rush back.

It was EVERYTHING you want when going to a Caribbean restaurant!! I went on a Saturday night, and the DJ was JAMMIN!!! The appetizers were delicious (codfish fritters and vegetarian empanadas), drinks were hitting (me and my husband had two each), and our entrees were bussin (soooo good)!!! I had the Jazzy Pasta w/ Shrimp, yummy yum, and my husband had Jerk chicken w/ rice and peas. Oh, we also had to try the mac & cheese and of course plantains (sweet and delicious). 10/10 for us, we will definitely be back with friends and family!!!
Amazing food and service! Derica was so great, very friendly and always checking up to see if everything was ok. My son and I had an amazing experience celebrating my birthday. Definitely going back!

Even before I arrived, I was impressed with Jasmine's. We were a party of 4 celebrating my nephew's birthday. He is an adult. His wish was for curry goat as his birthday meal. It isn't on the menu at Jasmine's so I called a few days prior and asked if it was ever available. I was told that it was possible if the chef agreed. After a couple of calls it was promised and he delivered! My nephew loved his meal! The chef also came out and spoke to us. This isn't a big space and the lighting isn't great so it didn't get the highest ratings. It's on Restaurant Row so it isn't cheap but good music played the entire time and every worker in this establishment greeted us with a smile and was so cordial. I highly recommend Jasmine's for good Caribbean food and a friendly vibe.

We were lucky to land a same-day reservation at Jasmine's. This Black-Woman-Owned restaurant is cozy, pretty and the staff made us feel welcome. Our hostess, Shay was friendly and informative about the menu. Our food was amazingly delicious and plentiful. We ordered cod fritters to start then pasta and jerk chicken as our main dishes. The jerk chicken sauce is infused with many flavorful notes and brought a subtle heat—I would travel to NYC more often to eat that dish. We finished dinner off with bread pudding and red velvet cake. These both were tasty. The rum punch was?. Thanks to the chef for stopping by to greet us! Make sure to visit and support Jasmine's.

Such a dope spot! Went here after seeing a show on Broadway. Intimate, great service and good food that came out super quick! It is very energetic (there was a DJ) so depending on what you're looking for this the perfect spot!

Food isn't good at all, ordered 2 plates of Oxtails and rice and peas, the oxtails were burnt, my son had yellow rice and j*** chicken and ended up throwing up 15mins after eating. Threw away 3 whole plates. $40 down the drain and owner played like she cared but she didn't, left a message on my phone but didn't pick up when I called back. This was my 2nd time going here n getting horrible food. Smh, if you don't want to waste your money don't go here!!!
