“Just had a party yesterday and decided to go with Hallow Bamboo for the catering. Everything from the ordering process, to the service and especially the food was EXCELLENT! My wife and I will definitely become regulars and will use them for our catering needs in the future, thanks Shelli and Steve!“

“The food is great and worth the price.“

“This place may seem a little off but don’t be afraid because inside is flavor like no other. The food was super yummy and the price was surprisingly reasonable. But the true gem was their homemade juice. We tried the watermelon juice and it was like biting into a fresh slice of watermelon. For food we tried the curry goat with rice and peas and cabbage, and the oxtails with sweet potatoes and collard greens. The portions were a lot for the price all together we spent 37 for the food we also had two Pepsi and two waters and 8 for the homemade juice“

“This is prob my 2nd or 3rd review ever and after eating this food I had to come on here and say something. I’ve had Jamaican food in many different places (Atlanta and Cali), but this was without a doubt, probably the best I’ve ever had. The oxtails had a Smokey but traditional flavor that was cooked to perfection, along with the jerk chicken that was not dry at all and had good spice. Well done guys. It’s all I’ll be eating while visiting here. For a hole in the wall with 200 reviews and authentic grandma cooking in the back I give 11/10.“

“This is the best Ackee & Saltfish, Callaloo, Plantains and fried dumplings I've had since I 1st ate it over 30 years ago. They will be seeing me for lunch close to dinner and at least 2 or 3 times a week.“

“the ox tails with the beans and rice. yes sir“

“Easily the best oxtails I’ve had & you can’t beat the price point. The food is so delicious time and time again. I consistently order on DoorDash and delivery is always fast. The food is fresh and they’ve never let me down. I want to try other options one day, but the oxtails got me hooked.“

“I love Zion's Cuisine. It is a neighborhood gem and I will miss it if/ when I move out. I usually get brown stew chicken, beef stew, or pepper steak. The food is affordable, delicious, and healthy, and a large platter is good for 2-3 big meals (I do use rice from home to stretch it). Zion's is my go-to when I don't have the time or energy to make something decent for myself.No restaurant review is complete without a criticism, so: I wish they made it clear what is available each day. This goes for all Jamaican spots, but it seems like every day there is something they don't have. Knowing what's available with an updated list (instead of an interrogation at the order counter) would also give me the opportunity to try dishes I haven't before, such as their soups and breakfast items.Also, although their cabbage is the best Jamaican cabbage I've ever had, when I get cabbage and greens as sides I wish they would put my greens in the little slot for sides instead of always the cabbage. I end up with enough cabbage for two meals but only one meal worth of greens. Maybe greens are more expensive for them.. I will ask to pay extra for this next time and see what they say.Overall, Zion's is my favorite restaurant in the area and I am already looking forward to the next time I fall woefully behind on my food prep.

“Today, I had a taste for delicious Jamaican food. I live in NE Philadelphia, but I have no problem jumping in the car and traveling to Wharton Street in South Philly to see Mr. Rich and get his curry chicken, rice and peas, yams and greens. My wife likes the rice and peas, yams and Mac n cheese. It is so worth the time and travel.

The owner is caring and personable also. I'm trying to get him to have a location in the NE. I'm sure it would do well, ya'mon. God bless him“

“The Ultimate Feast with oxtail, jerk chicken, curry chicken and 3 sides is a well prepared-and well-priced meal. The staff are friendly and patiently answer food-related questions.“

“Not really a sit down place per se, but the food was excellent!
You know you're getting quality food and service when the place is authentic! Not Jamaican myself, but I appreciate the culture. I ordered Jerk wings along with rice with peas including cabbage. Very tasty!“

“Fair price with great portions, regarding the large size. I got jerk chicken and stewed chicken and they both had plenty of meat, not just bones.

I would recommend.

Parking: There’s usually a spot in front of or on the block of Ms Tinys that you can run in and out no problem, or at the very least on the next block.“

“best ambiance, great drinks and wonderful customer service“

“The food is amazing. I ordered a small pepper steak with a side of Mac and cheese and candy yams. I thought my platter was going to be little… it wasn’t! The mac is good, the steak strips were tender, and the yams were cooked perfectly. I paid $14 even. Service was fine! He greeted us as we walked in and was helpful. 5 stars!

Kid-friendliness: Clean atmosphere, friendly staff

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to enter“

“Service was very quick, although no one else was there at the time. One before me had left. Food was very flavorful. I had a platter of the oxtails w/ peas n rice and cabbage. I also added a side of greens and mac & cheez. In a word delish. I only wish they had a more spicy versions, but other than that...OK. I usually don't do reviews, but when I do, I do it for Shacheese. I'll be back.“

“I love love love the food especially the curry chicken. The taste of ginger and garlic is perfect and the curey is not too spicy but has a kick that matxhes perfectly with the rice. I also enjoy tge oxtail cheesesteak rolls....sooooo delish omg they're good.“

“A friend who live in West Philly brought me a oxtail platter with rice & peas & cabbage. The oxtails were tender and flavored well. The whole platter was delicious. Wish I lived nearby.“

“I ordered the curry chicken which was on point with flavor. The Yams were also good. I couldn't give it a 5 star rating because the Mac & cheese needs so much work. Someone's Mom need to teach them to make the mac & cheese but I wouldn't hesitate on going back to try different things“

“I want to start off by saying I use to absolutely love this store when I first tried their food!!! The only thing that makes me so upset Everytime I go here is the Oxtail never seems fresh, it never fails that my oxtail are never tender or falling off the bone, the oxtail gravy is never really thick because it's entirely too much fat in the gravy and it makes everything so greasy ? no matter what I still come to this establishment and show my support!! Your greens and yams are so damn delicious, I wish the Oxtail goes back to how they use to be!!“

“Hmmm good“

“I'm not going to put everything in the detail. Just at 930 like I'm trying to make the restaurant sound good. It is the best. Go try it, authentic Kingston roadside food restaurant.
And a chef in there, his name is trainer. He is the real deal.This is Rocky.“

“I eat here every week it's delicious only thing it's not open everyday Wednesday through Sunday is good days so if you like good Jamaican food stop by Aunt Annie's a very good cook“

“The food was definitely official my 1st time coming but the prices and how the charge extra for different sides was a little outta pocket. I got oxtail, mac n cheese, yams. I was charge for yams and Mac extra. The Mac was definitely homemade.Customer Service was horrible, the light skin lady very rude I ask 2 questions she kept saying do you want the food or not. I said yes twice. There's too many jamaican spots or food spots for that to be treated rude.“

“For a taste of the Caribbean in Philly, Tropical Choice Jamaican & American Restaurant is the place to be! This spot is beloved for its authentic Jamaican dishes like jerk chicken, curry goat, and oxtails, all bursting with flavor. The friendly staff and cozy atmosphere make it a favorite among locals. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty meal or a quick bite, their menu has something for everyone. Don’t miss out on their delicious sides like plantains and rice and peas. It’s a culinary adventure you won’t forget!“

“I love their curry goat, been eating here for awhile now. Always sending a family to get me something. Never disappointed with the flavors and variety of dish to choose from. Very generous with proportions. Lots of drinks and delicious dessert to choose from.“

“The Oxtails I can testify to. Very Very good. Unfortunately I get there to late for the Caloo which the the healthiest vegetable in the WORLD!
It’s like Greens without the Grease was hoping to Bottled Irish Sea Moss. Uprising is Incredible. Irish Sea Moss replaces 82% of the Body’s Minerals

“Hands down one of the best Jamaican spots around. The owner/cook reminds me of the dad from the Sean Paul-Get busy video. ?,,,I’ve had the curry chicken,the fish but my favorite is the jerk chicken. He grills that chicken to perfection every time! The mac n cheese is always good af to even they do give you the end of the pan.“

“Had the fish that was so pretty and golden with no fishy flavor at all. Greens were good, macaroni and cheese was good too though I usually like mine a little extra cheesy, but it was on point. I'd show ya'll my food but it's gone. Had enough for two meals.“

“At the first moment you step in that place the personel give you a pleasant feeling. Very hospitable hosts, it is a good place to go out with your friends or with your date. Great food, talented chef, comfortable cost and generous service. Warmly recommended.“

“I LOVE this place. First time there and I was blown away. I had the Shrimp Curry Platter, my family had the Curry Goat and Curry Chicken.

Everything was good!

I would definitely go back and can't wait to back.“

“The food was very good. The oxtail were very tender falling of the bone. The platter had a lot of rice and peas and cabbage. I had a medium platter. The only thing I wish was different was the amount of the meat. It only had 4 oxtail in the platter.“

“Great music, food and atmosphere! Tvs are set in place so you can watch your favorite sport that's playing live!“

“I ordered Oxtail with rice and beans, and Mac and cheese for my little one. Normally I don't eat Mac and cheese but I taste it before giving my little one and the whole platter was superb, very fresh and tasty. I would definitely order there again.“

“Not sure what the negative reviews are about. A lot say the flavor is missing. I agree that things could be seasoned a little more, but my oxtail platter was still delicious. The sides were generous portions. Mac and cheese was good, a little overcooked. The collards may as well have been canned they were so overcooked. The cabbage was pretty good and still firm. Only thing I won't get again is the collards. Will come back“

“This place is deliiiicious. I’ve only done pick up. Not sure anyone ever actually eats there. It’s encased with plastic, kinda loud from some big fans, hard to hear. But absolutely none of that matters because they have the best jerk chicken you can get in Philly (in my experience so far). I lived in Florida for a while and ate a lot of jerk chicken. And this place does it right. Glad I came in and tried it! The people are nice. I’m a repeat customer. And I have no intention of stopping.“

“The Ultimate Feast with oxtail, jerk chicken, curry chicken and 3 sides is a well prepared-and well-priced meal. The staff are friendly and patiently answer food-related questions.“

“Great meals everytime I go there... And the last time was the BEST. DELISCIOUS.“

“This was my first time at Ron's. The food was delicious! It was Sunday the 19th of November 2023. There was Gospel playing "Praise the Lord "! Because I was walking in the spirit. Until my server asked how can I help you. I placed one order, she was ready to walk away, I started in the second, then the third, order dessert and this person said "oh my God", as if I was disturbing her. I wanted to add more but instead said...ok forget it because I don't need you calling on the Lord to serve me. I generally leave the counter person a tip, but all I can do is pray for her. She was the oldest lady there...little puff in her hair. If she is in ownership maybe she have "nuff mass", if not...then she cost them money. Either way...Big up Ron, train your servers to get money,“

“This is my first time visiting Philly. To say the least, I was craving some Jamaican food. I conducted a ton of research on various restaurants in the area in which I was staying and decided to go with Erie's due to its rave reviews and boy this restaurant did not disappoint! By far, the j*** chicken was the best I've ever tasted. The rice and beans, as well as macaroni and cheese were so delicious. Furthermore, the portions sizes were huge! Thanks for making this southern girl's day.“

“great authentic Jamaican food“
