    Oxtails and rice and beans, half eaten
    Dina B.

    The food is good. First off my husband had a taste for Caribbean food so I went on a mission to find some. I obviously don't pay attention to detail because I didn't realize that this is not a restaurant. One has to pick it up after you order and pay for it first, and because it's cooked to order it's ready the next day. I wanted to try all the meats, chicken, ribs and shrimp. I didn't know how to order being this was our first time. I had a few mishaps with getting the food, but eventually we did get it and thought it is worth the price. It was my first experience ordering from a vendor. The experience is not for us. Having it cooked wherever and paying first was not our preference. But, again the food is good. I would definitely go to his restaurant when and if there is one one day.

    Jerk Chicken Plate

    Jamin Jerk Kitchen is exactly the kind of Bay Area vendor that reminds you why our food culture is so strong diverse, intentional, and rooted in community. The jerk chicken was beautifully executed. Smoky, well-marinated, and layered with flavor without being overpowering. It wasn't aggressively spicy or one-dimensional; instead, it had depth, the kind that tells you the seasoning had time to develop. The meat was tender, cooked through, and balanced perfectly between char and juiciness. The rice and peas were equally satisfying -- flavorful enough to stand alone but clearly designed to complement the protein. And the plantains were caramelized just right: soft, sweet, and not overly oily. What really stands out is the care. Nothing felt rushed or generic. As a vendor operation, it would be easy to cut corners but this feels like food made with pride. The Bay Area has no shortage of Caribbean spots, but Jamin Jerk Kitchen holds its own with quality and consistency. This isn't just good jerk, it's thoughtful, well-prepared food served with the kind of warmth and presence that keeps you coming back. Definitely worth seeking out wherever they're posted next.

    Jerk chicken, red beans and rice and plantains with a side salad.

    So excited to find some authentic Jamaican jerk chicken. Ordered the night before via text. Gave the time I would pick up. Demetrius reached out with the price and met me out front with my food. Jerk Chicken, (two nice thighs), red beans and rice and plantains for only $12.00. Pipping hot and full of that delicious jerk flavor. Can't wait to try his ribs next time. Do yourself a favor and try his food. You won't be disappointed.

    Oxtail over white rice and plantain

    Compliments to Demetrius and Donna for this Master piece. The oxtails are ALWAYS a 10/10. #Tendernism is to be expected. Service is 10/10. PICK UP ONLY. Make sure to order A DAY ahead of time as food is made to order and takes 2hr+ love to create.

    Jerk Half Rack Smoked Ribs with Rice and Red Beans. A side of Jam N Mac and Jerk Chicken with Rice and Red Beans with 2 Fried Plantains.

    I placed three orders the day before as usual. My ordered was the Jerk Shrimp which comes with the mango salsa combo with Red Rice with Beans and side of salad and 1/2 a rack of Jerk Smoked Ribs with some of the medium spicy BBQ sauce on the side. My wife ordered something else (will write her own review. As usual, my dinner was delicious. Our dinner was hot when we picked them up. It was hot when we got to our friend's house to eat our dinner while watching the Warriors basketball game. The last time I had the Jerk Shrimp Combo, I had the Jerk BBQ Chicken with it. This time, I had the Jerk Smoked Ribs. Both were delicious!! My next meal will have to be the Rasta Pasta and something else. Price was reasonable for the amount of food they offered. The owners Demitreus and Donna are the nicest people. They have texted me each time we bought our meals from them asking how was our dinner or if we enjoyed our food. Great customer service. My wife and I would highly recommend Jam N Jerk Kitchen if you're in the mood for some delicious Carribean

Choice is Coke or Sprite. The collard greens were the only side they had left. They were good. Brisket had a nice smoke taste but could have used a little sauce. I can't remember going to a bbq place that has run out of sauce. I also can't remember ordering an entree and not getting at least 1 side included in the price. I was charged for a small greens after paying $31 for the brisket. Maybe I tried them on an off day.

The pork had a slight sourness that was nice. Most of it was drier than I'd like though. Only the pork belly was actually flavorful, juicy, and tender. Mac and cheese and fries were both fine but won't be writing home about this. Cauliflower was pretty good, could be crunchier with more breading. The table had 4 different BBQ sauces.
