    The end result

    Best jerk chicken I've had in Chicago thus far. I've tried some places here and there. I even had more then 18 places in south Florida, but this here was the truth! The chicken was Juicy not dry AT ALL, jerk Spiced perfectly, can taste the flavor of the cinnamon and all spices . Mac was delicious, please don't change the recipe.

    I'm so glad I got to try this #hiddengem of a Jamaican restaurant and I'm mad if yall knew about it and didn't tell me!!!!! This is now of of my new, favorite Jamaican restaurants in the city. First of all - everything is fresh, made to order and you can taste it! They have it proudly posted that they do not have a microwave.... and they ARE NOT SORRY ABOUT IT! With that being said - know that you will have a wait, BUT you can place your order online, pick it up in store and sit down and eat in the restaurant. There is a bar serving up drinks and the drinks are GOOD! But the food?! and there are so many different things to choose from! There are VEGETARIAN options too and I KNOW those are amazing as well! Here's what I tried: Jerk Fried Wings w/Fries Egg rolls Jerk Chicken dinner (1 meat + 2 sides) Jerk Stir-Fry Jerky Chicken Sandwich Steamed Cabbage And the drinks were hitting too - very tropical! When you're in the area, hit the brakes and grab you a plate and tell them that Bri from Planes and Plates sent you! YEAH MON! Enjoy!

    Half dark lunch special for $12

    I said I want some grilled chicken so let me get some jerk chicken and I seen this place called jerky Jerk so I went there. Very nice. Customer service was good. The food came out hot. I had a beef patty that was made fresh, which was delicious And I had the two lunch specials. I didn't eat 2 one was for later, but I got the fried jerk wings with the sauce, which were absolutely delicious that sauce. It was spicy and sweet at the same time. It was very good. I had my sauce put on the side cause I wasn't sure about the sauce, but it did not disappoint and then I just tested out my half dark with my rice and peas and gravy v good. I didn't really care for the gravy that much it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't the best gravy I had but out of everything it was great, I will be back.

    Jerk egg rolls were ok didn't have much flavor but that was maybe because I wanted it mild. The jerk wrap was banging with the island ranch and jerk sauce 10 out of 10 and I'm not into spicy food but I couldn't put it down and both sauces were banging. Service was fast because I ordered on line. Overall I definitely got to go back and try more on the menu. Place is small but a vibe with good music playing.

    I ordered oxtails to go via their website. It was ready before the expected time. I haven't been going in a while due to the inconsistency in flavor and food being dried out. Well this time they provided me nothing but bones......I had to scrap thru the "stew" to find any meat. I will not patronize them anymore.

    One of my favorite places to order take out from anytime I have a taste for Jerk chicken. The food is full of flavor and the portion is also generous. They food is always well wrapped and hot when delivered by door dash. Check them out!

    2 meals, 2 sides- Jerk fried chicken dark 2 portions, Rice and Peas and extra side Reg fries

    Ordered it through doordash. Was still hot, fresh. The Jerky jerk chicken was well smoked and flavored. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside even after being delivered. Fries were crispy and well seasoned. Mac and Cheese was not bland, seasoned well which was a plus.

    Pick any 2 Meats & 2 Side, Jerk Chicken Dark (Grilled), Curry Chicken, Candied yams, Mac n Cheese, Plantains.

    Located right outside of the Chinatown gates and next to the cta redline, QXY Dumplings is some of…read morethe best I've ever had. They were full immediately after opening at 11:30am on a Sunday so expect a wait if you're not right on time or early. Their skin is thinner than I usually see, so their filling doesn't have to be super packed to even out the dough ratio. The chili oil and soup are 100% on point. Overate and overstuffed myself. Staff is efficient and fast. Would come back

    we came around 8:40p on a Sunday night and the wait was only about 20 min…read more I was very excited to try this spot because I saw all the raving reviews but I would say only about half of the dishes I would order again we ordered: -- lamb skewers: 10/10 so flavorful and tender, I don't usually like lamb because it can taste gamey but this didn't at all -- cucumber salad: would order again - loved the texture -- crab roe steamed: 10/10 would order again, my bf and I both agreed it was the best dumpling flavor -- wagyu and truffle steamed: I honestly found the truffle overpowering in flavor, wouldn't get again -- lamb and dill steamed: the dill flavor was too strong, wouldn't get again we also ordered the osmanthus tea which had a light floral taste but it didn't standout to me also I will note, if I came back, I would come in the morning or afternoon - I think by the time we sat down, the staff was tired because several soup dumplings weren't wrapped tightly so the soup had spilled out before it got to our table I will say I agree with the comments about the prices here being high - it was $160 before tip because the wagyu truffle dumplings and crab roe dumplings were both market rate ($30-$35 each for 12 dumplings) I'm happy I got to try this spot because the crab roe was the best soup dumplings I've ever had but I think I will be more selective with what I order next time
