Kingston 5 is such a great spot for flavorful Caribbean food with a creative twist. The jerk chicken was well-seasoned, juicy, and packed with just the right amount of heat. The beef patties were also really good, with a flaky exterior and a rich, savory filling. The standout for me was the bao fusion. Combining Caribbean flavors with soft bao buns was such a unique idea, and it worked incredibly well. The buns were pillowy, the fillings were flavorful, and each one felt different from the typical options you find at most Caribbean restaurants. We also tried the oxtail, which had great flavor and was cooked well. My only minor complaint was that there were quite a few bones, making it a little difficult to eat, but I also understand that's just part of ordering oxtail and not something that's entirely avoidable. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The overall vibe is casual, relaxed, and chill--perfect for grabbing a quick meal without feeling rushed. Between the jerk chicken, beef patties, flavorful oxtail, and creative bao options, there's plenty worth coming back for. Kingston 5 delivered great food, friendly service, and a fun fusion concept. I'd definitely return and highly recommend giving the bao buns a try. read more

Stopped by for a quick snack and ended up with a little taste of Jamaica. I grabbed a two classic veggie patties, and washed it all down with a refreshing D&G Jamaican Pineapple Soda. The patties had that flaky, buttery crust you hope for, the veggie patties were packed with flavor and a nice blend of vegetables. The pineapple drink was the perfect sweet, tropical finish and cold. Great service and seating area was clean and had great music playing. I'll be back to try another option. read more

This is a food truck located in Lake Nona in the Lowe's parking lot. You order from the QR Code and the food is brought out to you. The service was nice as the workers were kind. I had the beef patty which was very good. I enjoyed it more than the bigger chain restaurants in the area. I also tried the Bao Buns in every option. My favorite one was the curry chicken which surprised me because usually oxtail anything is my favorite. The oxtail meat was very sweet. A bit too sweet for me and was my least favorite. The curry chicken Bao had a really nice flavor. I would definitely go back if i were on that side of town again. read more

Food was good. The jerk chicken taco had a weird taste at first. It was sweet and then I noticed that there were plantains in the taco. That made sense and made it amazing. The stew chicken taco was good. The meat is plentiful. The chickenpatty was just ok. I would have preferred the beef, but they were out so those must have been good. The service and the customer service amazing. The staff and owner were so welcoming. We will definitely return for the beef patties and the bao. read more

My mom and grandma called saying they got me food from a food truck while they were put grocery shopping. Ironically my sister saw something about them recently on social media. My mom got me their oxtail bao bun! The bun was so soft and it had oxtail, cabbage and sweet plantain. Such a great combination! Their beef patty was nice and flaky and full of flavor and meat. I tried my sister's curry goat! Rice and peas was cooked perfect and the curry goat was really good. I would of just like extra sauce to it but that is just my preference. I will definitely go here to get food on my own! Worth it! read more

So I was craving Oxtails and I was yelping through nearby the job and this food truck popped up. This is parked in the LOWES parking lot around lake nona. I was reading that the chicken stew and oxtails gravy is "sweet" - But I wanted to test it and see how good the gravy is and how tender the meat was. Pulled up in front of the truck and and lady was asking how can she help - I asked her how many oxtails do we get for $25 plate. She stated 4-5 oxtails but didn't say the sizes. Those can be the small ends of the tails etc. I asked her can I taste the meat and gravy before buying and she stated that the gravy is sweet and not savory. She gave me a small piece of an oxtail. As soon as I tasted the gravy then the meat I was not happy on how sweet the gravy was. All I tasted was sweet! I told her the meat was tender (not fall off bone) but the gravy is just too sweet for my liking. She understood. read more

This spot is located IN THE LOWES PARKING LOT!!!! Met Mika who greeted me with an amazing smile. Customers service 5/5. The meal I purchased was the oxtail platter. Having it in a tin pan is genius bc it keeps the food warm. The oxtail was delicious and they gave me a healthy portion. The cabbage was OMG so good. And I rarely eat cabbage bc some ppl don't cook it right. This was by far above my expectations. The rice was the plantain, the entire dish was so good!! I definitely will be back there... since it's the only option for Jamaican in this area that I know of. I definitely would buy the cabbage in a large side alone. See you soon! -Ermi read more

I visited Kingston5 and honestly, everything I tried was amazing from start to finish. I started with the beef patty, and it was everything you want in a patty; buttery, flaky, and full of rich beefy goodness. You can taste the quality in every bite. Next up was the Rassclatt Taco in the brown stew chicken flavor. This one really stood out, the chicken was tender and flavorful, the cabbage added the perfect crunch, and the sweet plantain with that sauce tied everything together beautifully. Every element complemented the next. Then I tried the Bumbaclaat Bao with curry chicken, and it was out of this world. The bao was soft, and the curry chicken filling was bursting with flavor. It had just the right amount of spice and richness to make you go back for another bite immediately. Finally, I had the oxtail platter, and this dish sealed the deal for me. The rice and peas were soft and seasoned just right, the cabbage had a mild pepper kick, the plantains were perfectly sweet, and the oxtails, tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I loved the addition of the large kidney beans and the hint of sweetness that balanced the savory flavors across the plate. Everything was delicious, the portions were great, and the food came out fresh and full of flavor. Kingston5 truly delivers authentic, well-crafted Jamaican cuisine with their own creative twist. I'll definitely be back! read more

Amazing Food Truck, coming from Jamaican parentage, I was a little hesitant because all Jamaican food is NOT created equal. Located in the parking lot of Lowe's parking lot in Lake Nona, although hesitant, not disappointed. The young woman who took our order was pleasant, professional and explained the menu. I ordered the oxtail and she let me know right away it's not spicy, but sweet. Usually, Jamaicans cook their oxtail with scotch bonnet pepper so when I heard people's reviews complaining, it was a bit annoying as everyone does not cook them the same. I also got a side of pepper sauce, that was really good too. The oxtail was fantastic and the rice! Not everyone knows how to cook "rice and peas" but it definitely hit the spot. Hubs ordered the curry goat and that was delicious as well. I am definitely going back to order other items from their fusion menu. Plenty of parking around the truck and the truck itself has a Jamaican vibe. Definitely a go to! read more

We discovered Kingston 5 while on a walk from our hotel looking for somewhere to eat lunch. Naturally, as Jamaicans we were drawn to the truck decked out in the national colours and it did not disappoint , one of the best beef patties I have tasted in years - flaky and meaty. the rest of our group loved the chicken tacos so much so we resolved to return for dinner to try out their other delights. read more

Staff is nice! The food was absolutely delicious. Some may describe the oxtail and brown stew on the sweeter side but I absolutely loved them both. Tacos were perfectly made. Already thinking of when I'm going back!!! Curry chicken was also delicious. I'll be getting a platter and some patties when I return. read more

Our favorite Jamaican restaurant. We patronize Kingston 5 3-4 times a month and the food and customer service are amazing. I have dreams about the oxtail platter! Great customer service! read more

Flavorful food and a convenient location. I've only tried the Jerk Chicken Patties so far. They came steaming hot and packed nicely each in a small paper bag for $4 each. They were a little drier than I was expecting but still very delicious. I had hoped they would have jerk chicken wings, but unfortunately, the patties were the only jerk chicken on the menu. That said, the truck is clean, service is friendly and I would definitely return! read more
