The Jerk Chicken is THE ONE. Don’t even second guess it just pull up. The interior vibe is extremely welcoming. You will be happy you stopped in. Just sayin

The Only Authentic Jamaican spot in Portland that has coco bread. You can't eat jerk chicken without it. The food was Authenticity delicious 😋

I’m so disappointed in the quality and lack of flavor! This was $25 meal and that’s what I got. The only thing curry about the chicken was its color. The plantains weren’t ripe. The rice was just rice. The cabbage wasn’t seasoned. It felt thrown together, and likely was considering they finished “cooking” it in 10 minutes. The restaurant had music going and open signs but their door was locked. I should have taken that as the initial sign to leave! This was my second time coming but thought maybe the first trip was a one off. Naw! 🥴

Very pleasant experience for my girls night out. The owner and hostess were such kind people and genuinely warm when attending us. The food was amazing and the portions were great! A new favorite for jerk chicken!

Decent jerk chicken, with embarrassingly bad sides. Coco bread is a Hawaiian white bun straight from the bag. Unseasoned rice with a few beans. Charlie Bucket’s cabbage soup. Our Dessert was that he overcharged us 15%.

The Jamaica House provides tasty food with exceptional, personal service. You receive freshly cooked, homemade, delicious food like oxtails, jerk chicken, etc…that is worth the wait! Simba, the owner, provides superb, friendly customer service and a comfortable atmosphere that invites you to come back for more! My husband said this is our every Sunday, after church spot from now on!!!
I have been wanting some good jerk chicken since being in Oregon for work. I finally got a chance to drive up to Portland to Jamaica House. OMG! THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!! The owner was very sweet an accommodating on my order. He was low on jerk chicken but had one left; I told him give me what you have lol. My mouth was fix for jerk and he understood lol. Rice and peas and cabbage comes with it, but I needed them plantains and coco bread which was delicious. I will definitely be back for sure.

Restaurant is “open.” Google even allowed online reservations! We drove all the way out, only for it to be closed. Phone wasn’t answered either even though there were people inside.

The jerk chicken was perfectly spiced. Good amount of heat. I only like platanos when they are cooked right and these were delicious. I really loved the drink options as well. Lots of juice drinks and CBD. Will definitely come back anytime I'm up north.

Incredible food, better service. The owner is extremely down to earth and serves you as if you are family. There is a cat that greets you and the place makes you feel as if you’re on the island. Get the jerk chicken you won’t be disappointed. Food is made to order and worth the wait. Can’t wait to go back! They are closed today or I’d be there now lol.

Agreed with other reviewers, owners are sweet and food was amazing. I got take out jerk chicken, which fell off the bone. Spicy and delicious! Food portions were substantial, I had two meals from it. Haven’t had good Jamaican food since NYC and this hit the spot. I will be back!!!
