Beef PattiesJerk Chicken very tasty and big portions. A different place to visit and explore, flawless quality!

Always great food and they always handle my large orders efficiently without sacrificing the quality of the food. Very courteous staff.

They Be Jamming some good chicken and pork jerk, spicy curries, and some tasty patties. Located in a small strip mall on 87th and Sunset. They have some tables and chairs inside with a small counter along the front window. The selection of Jamaican jerk, curry, and patties are good. I have had the jerk chicken and pork with the rice and peas with sweet plantains. They were Delicious. I have also had the meatloaf patty which was also Delicious. I plan to try some shrimp curry, goat, and oxtail soon. They offer lunch and dinner combo specials to choose from. You place your order at the counter and wait for the Deliciousness to arrive. The staff is friendly and professional. read more

This is like the Jamaican grandmother I never had. The food is authentic and so good. You could eat a couple meals off one plate. Super delicious super filling. Jerk chicken is so gàs. Pull up. read more

I seldom write reviews but this food was too tasteless and nasty not to warn others. Just yuck! Saltless... and I mean NO SAKT in the curry chicken. The saltfish taste like pure salt from the fish. They didn't boil it out with no sauce. Annoyed and disgusted. Run. This is not Carribbean. read more

This was a spot recommended by a lunch guest. I'm glad I let her choose. The food is a little pricey but I've paid more for less and it was delicious. It has a full section of Jamaican products as well as Ting etc. The patties are worth every penny and you can request them fresh to bake later. read more

Great food! Everything is a must try! Went back for the ox tail. Enjoyed it very much! The patties are awesome!

Customer service was great!! From the reviews I had very high expectations for the food. However the food was ok, I've had better jamaican food. I must say the spinach patty was exceptional a little over priced but well worth it! The set up inside is very cute and comfortable. read more

I was born at Jackson Memorial and grew up in Liberty City. I was raised on seafood, soul food, and West Indian (Caribbean food). We have a daughter who goes to college at FIU there, and a son being recruited by the University of Miami so we spend a lot of time back home in the Miami area. I cook Caribbean style meals and my family loves it but that's hard to do while traveling. So Jamaica Kitchen with its great variety, outstanding customer service, that tops everything off with the wonderful flavors their food has is the one place we always visit when we are in town! read more

Best Jamaican food in Miami you won't be disappointed no matter what you order I go with the jerk chicken or the ox tail.

I have only ever had Jamaican food in Jamaica, so I had high hopes for Jamaican food in Miami. They are the sweetest people here at jamaica kitchen, easy to talk to and service is great. Some of the food I ordered, I loved, and some was just mediocre. To anyone who doesn't know; Jamaicans come from Indian, Chinese, German, and English descendants ; not just African, and each culture brings to it a slight variation on culinary tradition. This is a Chinese/Jamaican kitchen. I lived mostly amongst rastas and ate a lot of ITAL food, but I also eat meat. I love curry goat, and I highly recommend the curry goat here!! Perfectly spiced (mild/med) and so tender without too much fat or bones. I was disappointed in the Patties, but I came towards the end of the day, and they had run out of most of the patties I would have otherwise ordered. I also ordered jerk chicken, which tasted a little bit more like baked chicken than the jerk chicken I was accustomed to on the island, but still very good. Good prices. Good portions. Good people. Good food. read more

Great place to eat. The owner was very sociable. The girl on the register can Learn how to be nicer.

Delicious Oxtail and has a very nice mom & pop shop vibe. With their own spice rack and authentic Jamaican Cuisine. Their food menu items are diverse and filled with flavor and color. read more

The service was prompt, didn't have to wait too long for my food. However the food wasn't that great. I've tasted GREAT Jamaican food and this place didn't compare. If you have had the privilege to experience Lee's in Inglewood, California or Donna's in Hawthorne, California then I recommend not wasting your money or appetite here. read more

I have no idea why this place has so many 5 star reviews. I went here to get ox tail and they were in a watery oily gravy. oxtail Neva trim. Bere fat on them. In what world would u serve family let alone paying customers un-trim oxtail?! In addition to that rice and peas was so poor. Par boiled white rice. Zero coconut flavor. Peas dem dry up. Only reason this place got one star is because of the little grocery section. If people say this is five star dem dunno Jamaican food. read more

A very welcoming place for homemade Jamaican food. Not your basic place. There was a variety of plates available . Great specials, rotation of daily soups, a variety of Patties, not just your basic mild or hot beef. (I posted menus in tip area) Everything tasted very fresh. Really good Stew Ox-Tail with Butterbeans, nice and tender . I ordered the lunch portion, and it was plentiful enough. Really moist rice and peas. Everything was steamy hot, fresh. Popular place amongst the locals. There was a lot of foot traffic coming in and out while I was here. I'd be a regular too if I lived here in Miami. Its a very small place, but nicely set up. People can move around freely enough, and not get too close or bump into you while you're eating. It's cute for the little hole in the wall place that it is, and the friendly girl working the front runs it very well. I liked the vibe :-) I also picked up some hot sauce while I was there because they do have a little Grocery shopping you can get done. While was eating , I started looking through the pic feed and noticed Guy Fieri had been in from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and was like, hm. I didn't even know that before coming in. Looks like he enjoyed it too. I wanted some of that Stout ice cream , but I was way too full. I will definitely come back when I'm in the area for more food, and I really need to taste that ice cream . I'm so curious about it. read more

Jamaica Kitchen - Feeling Jamaican today .. Going back to the Olden Days .. Stew Ox-Tails/Butterbeans w/Rice& Peas & Sweet Plantain - Caribbean Near Me - Miami, Florida

This place has been taking care of me for years! I used to work at the nursery on 87th ave and I used to always eat Jamaica Kitchen whenever I worked Saturdays. Whether it's the oxtail, goat, jerk chicken, or just the spicy patties, it's all good here. Personally, I'm a big fan of the Curry Goat. Not many places serve goat so I always know I can get my fix at Jamaica Kitchen. The fact that Jamaica Kitchen knows how to prepare goat tells you that they have an experinced cook. Goat meat is very hard to work with and if you're unexperienced, the end product is really tough meat. Here, it's wonderfully seasoned and very tender. Their patties are out of this world. Spicy, great texture, and the pastry is flakey. The only thing nad about the patties is that it's pretty hard to keep yourself from buying more lol. It's good eating for on-the-go. Jamaica Kitchen is great! Good food, the owner is a sweetheart, and pretty well priced too. I recommend you go if you want a good caribbean fix. read more

I was inspired to go back here because I saw my Yelp friend Kristen H. bookmark it. Ok, it was a little one ups manship. The Jamaica Kitchen is as no frills as no frills gets. It's tucked away in an unremarkable strip mall, which is hosted by Winn Dixie and probably the worst Winn Dixie there is. But, if Jamaica Kitchen is no frills, the food goes well above and beyond. Typically I'd order the Jamaican Jerk Pork or Chicken as it is always good, but it's Americanized too! This time I got the curried goat and pumpkin soup. Other then it being served up in a styrofoam togo container, I had no worries at all, since I decided to goooooo. I went home, plated it on a nice colorful pier one plate, right on top of the Pigeon Peas and Rice and presto change-o, I had a masterpiece on a plate. As you remember you eat with your eyes also. I was under the impression that goat was grisly and an unwelcome meat. Yes there is a different taste to it, and yes it was very good. I asked them if they could drop a habenero in the bag, and they did, so I carefully shaved some on top of my curry, just to amp up the flavors. I went out to the deck, cranked up some Jimmy Buffet and cracked open a Red Stripe Light. I enjoyed my time out there so much, sweat-en to the curry, I forgot all about my Pumpkin Soup. After my moment of metaphysical zen, I went inside, but was to full to eat the soup, That will be left for tomorrow. For those who have never been and aren't adventurous, there is nothing that is that "Blow Your Head Off" hot, it's all flavorful. The staff is very nice and helpful, the'll walk you through what you need. The place is a dump, but a clean dump. When I'm away from Miami, it's places like this that I miss. And, Kristen H. nana nana boo boo I beat you here again! read more

The ultimate cure for the common hangover. Located in a little strip mall, this unassuming place delivers the best home made chinese jamaican food. Walk in and you'll think that you've been transported to the little island. To the left is a little bar for about 3 people. A wall of self serve fridges contains all sorts of juices, sodas, and my fav., coconut water. The far right wall has a collection of foods and condiments that you won't find at a local Publix. Island music beats through a little boombox. As for the food... wow. I come for the oxtail, curry chicken, or curry oxtail with white rice, extra gravy. There is so much flavor in every morsel that it'll linger on your fingertips well throughout the day. The electric yellow colored curry mixes oh so well with the rice. The oxtail is always meaty, tender, and intense with flavor. No wonder why Guy Fieri of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives loved this place! read more

Everything they have is great, from the stuff they cook to the carribean snacks, drinks and cooking ingridients. They have a soup for each day of the week. I've got a couple friends that live close to JK and I always stop in a get a patty if they're open. If you're lucky, they'll have some extra-spicy beef patties. They're really hot. Get some coco bread and stick that patty in there. I could eat 1 a day for the rest of my life. read more

Mom and pop store front (no tables to sit down). Although it's been listed as Chinese Jamaican, the cuisine is still very Jamaican. A couple of dishes have some Asian influence. I chose the stew Ox-tail lunch, which came with red beans, rice, plaintains. Very soft, dark strong stew, seems like an authentic place. I also enjoyed their Jamaican patties--the breading tasted a little unique, as if some corn flavor had been added. The cabbage and saltfish filling was even better than the beef type. still like their ~$2 jamaican patties -- flavorful beef, moist, great crust read more

I just want to mention that the owner's customer service was superb! Honest and helpful. Never heard of Jamaican Chinese food before (California natives, and we had heard no such thing!) and boy, was it freaking awesome! Their roast chicken does incorporate the Chinese version of the roasted chicken with sweet marinade sauce. The goat curry was so tender and soft and if you love curry, you'll love this goat curry. DAMN they make bomb ass spicy beef patties! LOVE LOVE LOVE! I'm so sad that there is nothing in California like this little gem. My bill came out to be almost 40 something for 3 lunch plates, 2 beef patties , 2 coco bread and 2 drinks. Which seemed about right... but cause they have those normal cash register anything can be "accidently" rung up if you dont check. We didn't cause we didn't think that the pricing was unreasonable. The nice lady there did though, and instead of pocketing that extra 10.50 she walked right up to us and said, "I think I rang you up wrong" and returned the difference. I was impressed. Very impressed for their honestly. That is customer service. Jamaica Kitchen! Please expand and flock your way over to the West Coast. Specifically in Orange County, CA! read more

Before I was vegan, I ate here a lot. Had I been a Yelper then, I would review it just the same! But yes, I am vegan and I according to the cashier their whole wheat patties in the vegetable, callaloo and tofu variety are vegan! Unfortunately there weren't any tofu ones available when I went today but I had a vegetable and callaloo one and can you say FLAVOR EXPLOSIONNN! Would be a five-star review if they had more of a selection veggie/Ital-friendly food. read more

Excellent food. Ackerman and salt fish with fried dumplings and plantain was wicked !!!

One of my favorite restaurants. Everything on the menu is delicious and the staff is amazing. Best jerk chicken in town!

This place is bangin! I had the curry oxtail, beef patty,and rum cake. Everything was amazing. The owner was so nice and recommend the oxtail as her favorite. I was in love a first bite! Located in Kendal, it was out of the way, but I am so happy I drove the extra miles to try Jamaica Kitchen. It was worth it! Stop in for some Island flavor! read more

Best Jamaican food I have ever tasted. The staff is so welcoming and helpful if it's your first time eating there. I recommend the jerk chicken MY FAVORITE!!!!! They have all sorts of ingredients and spices available for purchasing and also every single type of soda you can imagine. It's a hidden little gem and if you don't look for it, it's very easy to miss. Trust me you do not want to just drive pass this restaurant you'll fall in love. Parking is easy, quick access from sunset or down 87ave. read more

See all

I tried patties for the first time two different times this week. The first patties from an unnamed grocery were underwhelming. I was hesitant about trying another Jamaican place so soon, but I did it anyways. These patties were amazing. A very lovely older Jamaican lady took my order. She was very sassy in the best way possible. Initially I ordered the pumpkin chicken soup and a curry patty. Both were very good. The soup is available only once a week (Mondays). My only complaint at all was that there was yucca or potato or some starchy thing in the soup that wasn't cooked through too well and was hard. But the overall taste of the soup was great. After inhaling both the soup and the curry patty (which was not too spicy at all in my opinion), I went back to order one more patty. I couldn't help my self. Apparently the minimum on cards is 6 dollars. Luckily I had the two dollars needed for the patty. I ordered a spicy beef patty which was AMAZING. I normally don't like before over chicken, especially not curried chicken, but this was great. I also got a sample of the ox tail and it was good. My friend really liked it, but I was happy I had gotten the patties. Overall I'd highly recommend checking out Jamaican Kitchen. If not for the patties, then for the sassy Jamaican lady taking the orders. read more

Updated Review: After living in Atlanta 2 years, I still haven't found a Jamaican Restaurant that tastes as good as the food from Jamaica Kitchen. I was a regular customer the 5.5 years when I lived in Miami. I went so much, they knew my order by heart. Everything I ordered was sooo good. I was addicted to the Curry Oxtails and Yellow Rumcake. The meat was always so tender and bursting with flavor. I felt like I was catching up with family everytime I went to Jamaica Kitchen. I will always make a point to order from Jamaica Kitchen whenever I go back to visit Miami. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Really good food! I had the jerk chicken with rice and beans. The service was quick and efficient. Its a small place, so I wouldn't come with a big group, unless getting food to go. read more

This place is a mom/pops place located in a strip mall in the corner. What a fantastic representation of what somebody's home kitchen is cooking in Jamaica. The jerk pork had a great bite, enough heat to buzz your tongue and just barely make your brow sweat but totally manageable. Rice and beans were great and the way the food was spiced was right on par. Great little spot for authentic food. The owners/operators should be proud read more

By far one of if not THE best Jamaican Chinese restaurant in Miami. The best way to describe the food from Jamaica Kitchen is simply just amazing home cooked meals. I am Jamaican Chinese and the cooking reminds me of my family's own cooking. I recently went and got Cow Foot which is a Jamaican delicacy, but if you don't feel daring enough to try the cow foot they have a have a wide selection of plates to order. From Chinese roast chicken to curry Goat. So if you're feeling for Chinese or Jamaican food for dinner Jamaica Kitchen is the place to go! read more

I originally spotted this place on Food Network years before I moved to Miami. I promised myself that I would visit whenever I was down there. I got my opportunity back in 2008 or 2009. I wasn't that impressed in all honesty. I recently went back twice within the past month or two. I ordered some curry shrimp. The curry was okay, not spicy enough for me. The food here is okay in general. I'm a BIG fan of their spicy beef patties, they are GREAT. I am NOT a fan of their jerk chicken, not spicy enough for my taste buds. Last but not least, any restaurant that sells Jupina Soda gets a BIG UP from me lol. *Disclaimer: I am not paid to do any of my reviews. I'm just a consumer who was sick & tired of not seeing any reviews (good or bad) on many of the South Florida establishments that I frequent or have visited in the past. read more

This place is nice option for something quick but you don't want fast food. The food was fresh. I had jerk chicken and rice and peas. It was ok. It is very affordable. I would recommend this place. read more

Staff is very friendly it's a tiny tiny place at most about 10 people fit comfortably seated but many grab and go. I've been to Jamaica several times and this is as close to authentic as it gets! Absolutely delicious! They also sell Jamaican goods here. Great mom and pop spot. Highly recommended!! read more
