The Jerk Spot Jamaican Restaurant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I am very disappointed to say the least. I was in the area and visited this restaurant this past summer and it was nothing but good vibes and good food, I even sat and ate there. Fast forward to today, I was once again in the area and decided to go back. Needless to say, I was highly disappointed, if I lived closer I would’ve tried returning the food! The fried chicken was not only tasteless and unseasoned, but wasn’t done well and tasted old, really wish I had taken pictures but I was too upset and just threw it away. The jerk pork as they called it, seemed more like roasted pork and also tasted and looked old, like it was done days ago and an attempt was made to reheat it. I asked for the soup immediately so I could have it before my meal and that also took awhile, seemed it had to be reheated so not sure when it was cooked but didn’t seem fresh either. I don’t mind spending money on good food, but spending over $80 and having to wait that long for food that was undercooked, bland and old really made me upset. Especially since that was myself and my mom’s first meal of the day and it was around 3 pm. The only thing that was good was the D&G soda and the seafood patty was decent. I’m not sure if they got a new chef or the owner doesn’t care or what happened, but the quality isn’t there anymore neither is the vibes. I will not be back even if I am...

I'm Jamaican, born and raised and I know good Jamaican food. Their food is excellent! Best jerk chicken I've had in LA. The food is always fresh, served hot, and the presentation is lovely. The place is small but they have a number of tables and chairs for in-house dining. The place is super clean, even the restroom is immaculate. The patty and coco bread is heavenly! I haven't had every single dish on the menu, but everything I've had so far has been delicious. Their fried plantains are done to perfection! Their reggae bread (or as us Jamaicans call it 'festival') is AH-MAZING! I've been coming to this place since they opened in summer 2014 and they've never disappoint. Look, I know Jamaicans typically have a bad rep when it comes to customer service and friendliness. I admit it, it's true in many cases but not all. The folks at this restaurant may not be over the top friendly, but they are by no means rude. And especially to customers. When I first met the female cashier, I thought she was unfriendly too, but she's not. Each time I went there and talked to her she would come out of her shell a little more. I think she's just shy. People shouldn't be that quick to judge. I 1,000% recommend this place! AND compared to many Jamaican restaurants in and around that area, their food is very...

Wow! This place is a low-key spot that has the hits! I was in the area with a friend and wanted something quick and easy to eat. He recommended this place. I ordered two chicken curry empenadas (one to eat there and one for later). It was PERFECTION... fresh and hot, with a flaky light crust, the filling prepared with the perfect amount of seasoning. They were so good, I ate both of them in the parking lot! I'm still thinking about them, tempting me to brave the freeway system from Glendale to Culver City. Not expensive, very satisfying, just good food made with pride. The place was clean and smelled amazing. I haven't had Jamaican food in over two decades, but I'm not going to wait that long to come back to this establishment. If you want to support a small family business, eat some delicious fresh food, and not break the bank, this...
