Tasty Island Jamaican Restaurant — Restaurant in Spring Valley

My brother and I were looking forward to trying the food at Tasty Island. Our Mother brought it to our attention while on her way to hospital to visit said brother. So today I wanted to surprise him with comfort food, we are Jamaican and have eaten various dishes all of our lives. The woman that served me was pleasant enough to the point I trusted not to look at what she had tied up in the bag for my order. The lunch prices $7.99 waaaay to much for what we got, my big brother's favorite, curry chicken - DRY just DRY as a board no gravey for neither the chicken nor the "steamed" rice and maybe traditional but don't break my chicken bones to save money thanks!! $7.99 plus tax for TWO funky old warmed over pigeon sized jerk chicken wings. The rice and peas were in the compartment where usually the main entree goes like maybe even four wings. The vegetables were not fresh either. I felt totally robbed we support small businesses but not this one EVER AGAIN! Those other reviews saying this was Great food must have never had good cooking much less good Jamaican. Eleanor and her husband need to revisit the love of Jamaican cuisine. My brother didn't even want his food and rathered to wait for our mom to bring dinner. Wasted $18 for lunch and tip. If you are ever in ATLANTA, GA try Island Cafe on Memorial Dr. This bad experience is only more motivation to open our own spot here in Vegas. So don't say I...

Trash 🗑 don't waste your money, I want to cuss these people out, because of the eye pass i received with that food i order. I should have just cook my own food. First off the owner was nice and welcoming. older lady and her son i think I meet the night. They were joval etc... so I thought to myself ok maybe the food would be good because the vibes and atmosphere was good. Plus I had just relocated to Vegas only a few days ago and I was missing West indian food from back home, and I was happy to try this place here in Vegas. Since there's just a few Jamaican food spots. Who told me to ordered curry chicken with white rice and two slices of black cake aka rum cake back in December 2019. And went back to the hotel. Lawdddd have mercy. When I bust open the box and start eating i was in for a big disappointment. These f@@king people serve me hard,dry,old cool rice with water down curry chicken that they clearly didn't microwave properly. The food was f@@king old . Like days old. The rum cake was ok. But what the F. In all my life this was nonsense I experience at this so call restaurant. I had to put it in the trash 🗑 were it belongs. I was so upset. Never again. Every time I drive pass this place I does want to cuss. People who are from the Islands know Caribbean food. This place is a joke. If you want good Caribbean food you have to drive to LA, Miami, New York, ATL etc. Or cook it...

I'm only giving this restaurant one star because it's not possible to give them 0 stars, trust me if there was that's what they'd get! I first looked up this restaurant on Google maps as I am presently in Las Vegas and wanted an authentic Jamaican brown stew snapper. The menu said brown stew fish was $17.99. I was told it would take 30 minutes to prepare as they were done by order. I arrived at the restaurant and went to get my order, the lady at the counter fiddled at the register as if she,wasn't sure about the pricing. She eventually said , "oh your order is $27.00". I was flabbergasted and quickly annoyed! I told her that I saw the price of $17.99 online and went to get my phone from the truck to show her. She called a gentleman from the back to deal with me or so it seemed. I showed him their supposed menu on the Google map app, and the gentleman responded that he didn't post that! I responded, "I definitely didn't, then who did?". I felt like they were trying to take advantage of me because I was a so called tourist, but not a fool! I drove 20 minutes outside of the strip for these people to try to rob me! Neither the lady or the gentleman tried to resolve this matter, even after me showing them the pricing that was listed on Google maps. I give this restaurant 2 thumbs down a negative experience in my estimation! Thanks for wasting...
