I'm first born American in a Jamaican family and I was happily surprised to find a Jamaican restaurant, in Chatsworth of all places, that was within walking distance of my mechanic's shop. The restaurant is in a strip mall, next to a barber shop. The woman behind the counter was so friendly and helpful that I was genuinely concerned about the quality of the food. Typically in a Jamaican restaurant, the ruder the service, the better the food is. This spot is the happy exception to the rule. The food was EXCELLENT. I asked for a recommendation for their best menu option and she suggested their fried chicken and maaaaaannnnnn, I think about that chicken like white dudes think about the Roman Empire. I'm actively trying to come up with reasons to take the long drive back to Chatsworth to try more of their menu. If you're ever in the area, this is worth a visit. read more

I was craving Jamaican food and ordered from this restaurant on Uber Eats last night. Unfortunately, my order never arrived because the restaurant was closed, even though they were still accepting orders on Uber. Wanting to give them another chance, I ordered again this morning. I got the jerk chicken special with rice and peas and cabbage, expecting a fresh, flavorful meal. Sadly, the experience was very disappointing. The jerk chicken was extremely tough and dry, the rice and peas tasted old, and the cabbage appeared spoiled& had a terrible smell (not edible) I spit it right out my mouth. The entire meal was not fresh and was simply reheated in a microwave. I eat Jamaican food regularly, so I know what fresh Jamaican cuisine should taste like. I called the restaurant to address my concerns and hopefully find a resolution. Instead of listening or attempting to make things right, I was repeatedly told that the food was fresh. There was no effort to resolve the issue or acknowledge my experience as a customer. I don't normally leave negative reviews, but after two disappointing experiences in less than 24 hours, I felt it was important to share. Hopefully this helps others make an informed decision before ordering. read more

Stopped by this restaurant towards the end of the day on a a Saturday. Experience: since I'm not local, I called first to make sure they had oxtails and jerk chicken. The gentleman who answered, was dry and quick. Damn near hung the phone up in my face to get off the phone so fast. Upon arrival, said gentleman was sitting at one of the dining tables. It was empty inside of customers. I greeted him with an excited smile and he softened his disposition. Now, if you know Jamaicans, being fair I wasn't overly surprised at his stoicism and seriousness. The restaurant: There was only the remaining patties in the display case. Outside of that, a pretty empty place. Doesn't look like a bustling and meticulously decorated restaurant. It's cold and cafeteria like. There's no smell of deliciousness in the air and again nothing to see. No pictures of the food, nothing. Even the kitchen was so clean and closed down, it looks like the food is prepared elsewhere and brought in. Service: the gentleman wasn't rude. He just didn't offer any advise, ask any questions.. nothing. But as I was waiting on my plate, another young lady walked in. She called in as well and received the same dry and quick energy when she called. But when she walked into the establishment, clearly she's a regular. He lit up like a Xmas tree. She was such a pleasant and beautifully spirited woman, she gave her opinion of the gold (she said it was good). The food: Reminder, I was basically going off of the pictures on Yelp. My boyfriend talking about if the Mac n cheese looks good get him some. My response, I can't see a dang thing! The regular customer was surprised they had Mac n cheese (mind you). I ordered a large Oxtail plate. Wasn't asked about sides at all. Basically giving I'm getting what he's got. And I ordered a large jerk chicken plate. When the gentleman began bagging up my food, before he tied it up, when I saw him try and give me (1) small ahss thing of jerk sauce.. I had to stop him to look before he tied it up. Sure enough, chicken dry as hell. For dang near half a chicken with some dry rice and peas (1) jerk sauce?? At the price point of each plate (over $25) . I ask for more sauce, I said, if I bring this home to my boyfriend he's going to have a fit! He gave me one more. I insisted another and he was getting ready to deny it, but ok told him I'll pay for it. I said there's no way my BF is eating that dry. I was so caught up in making sure the jerk was right, I didn't peep everything else too deep. I bought (2) patties as well (beef). $70 to feed (2) with large plates and a patty. The Oxtails: small oxtails, a good portion. They were ok. Some pieces were a little tough and dry, let me know this was definitely the bottom of the pot. Had they had Mac n cheese (they were out) I would have opted for that over rice and peas. Only because most places don't do it right. Again, it's end of the day.. Both my plates definitely got the burnt bottom. My boyfriend had more of the crispy parts than I. But definitely dry and sitting. BUT not bad actually. I threw some of this Carribean hot sauce I have on it, turned it up. The oxtails: 6.5/10, The cabbage a total NO (0/10) . The beef patty: 9/10 (good ). The rice and peas: 6.5/10 The jerk chicken... as a disclaimer, Jamaica is my choice vacation spot, jerk being a staple upon visits. So my idea of what jerk should taste and look like is high. Do not expect your chicken to come to you already sauced. It's dry, like it's straight off the grill. The chicken was tender, and had a really good flavor. Without the jerk sauce. Now does it give me that taste the grills in Jamaica give the chicken. No. Being fair, it has a really good Smokey grill to it. IF you have your own jerk sauce use it. The sauce they provide the texture wasn't saucy more like applesauce texture. It wasn't spicy and just not jerkie. The jerk: 7.5/10 Last, I was irritated I didn't pay attention. The menu I could have swore said , festivals come with the plates. Instead we were given (1) plantain each. That had me hot. Overall: 6.5/10 read more

Unfortunately, there are only a few Jamaican restaurants in the LA area and its environs. One of them, is One876 Caribbean Restaurant, in the Valley, specializing in Jamaican food. During my past travels, Jamaica was one of my stops, where I developed a fondness for their signature dishes, in addition to the well known Jerk Chicken, prepared on home turf. Having been to One876 before, this time I opted for their Curry Chicken, one of the three chicken selections from their lunch specials menu. This is also one of the items in their hot-case and it is spooned out with cabbage, rice & peas and festival or plantains. One thing is certain, the chicken is tender, easily detaching from the bone. The other factor to recognize is that a "curry" preparation from Jamaica is different to other ethnicities. This is reflected in the unique mix of spices that makes up the curry and the fragrant aroma that accompanies each bite. Overall, it was a well balanced meal that deserves, many more repeats. However, there is room for improvement. The customer service here is mechanical, indifferent and needs more refinement, if they desire to compete in the dynamic ethnic restaurant marketplace. read more

I was in the mood for some Caribbean food and visited this local gem for some take out . Dine in seating available Music and staff friendly Food ordered: Oxtails plate (small) with steamed cabbage , plantains, festival bread, and rice and peas. Oxtail was delicious , flavorful and tender. (Star of the show) Rice and peas were a solid 3/5 loved the flavor of the rice but the were minimum beans in my portion. Steamed cabbage was good , not over cooked and seasoned well. Festival bread unfortunately was hard unable to chew. What I didn't take a picture of because it was gone before I arrived home was their AMAZING sorrel/ginger drink ! I can drink that everyday!!!!! Parking: No parking, very small shopping center shared with several other stores. I will be back for sure to try other items and get more oxtails and plantains read more

I've been eyeing this spot for a hot minute and finally popped in when I needed a lil something quick. Service was great but the patties were fantastic. The curry chicken patty was so good I was shaking at how immaculate the crunch was. Perfectly spiced and flavored. The beef patty and veggie patty was delectable too but the curry chicken comes out on top for that crispy flaky crunchy crust and incredible filling. You know it's good and flakey when your car is littered in it (def recommend not taking it out of the bag if you're eating in the car lol). Gonna gain a few more pounds coming here just for them patties. I can't wait to try more!! read more

I thought I'd give it another try. There's a last time for everything. This was my last time eating here. Food - I ordered curry chicken, rice and peas and candied yams. I received 1 and a sliver pieces of candied yam and a lot of sauce (seems like it was sitting around all day and it's what was left for the day ). It was primarily sugar. Super sweet. Ugh! The only flavor was sugar. I wouldn't have even cared about the paltry portion for $5.50 if it tasted good. But it didn't. They gave a great portion for the curry chicken and rice, but BOTH the chicken and the rice was over salted. No real flavor. Just salt and spice. So so salty, I couldn't eat it. The vegetable was so overcooked. Maybe I went too late in the day (4:30 on a Saturday) I wanted to like it, but it was too salty and sweet...gross. The guy at the counter was just sour...No personality, no hello, no noceneno nothing. I actually felt like he was pissed I was there. So sadly, this will be the last time I eat at One876 read more

6/21/2025 - This woman-owned Carribean Restaurant was open about five years ago. A lot of business come from online orders. The food presentation is very good, providing a typical Caribbean regions' flavor. The pineapple & ginger drink is 5 stars because it has a heavy ginger flavor and taste with a perfect sweetness (highly recommended) - I consider it as a healthy drink. If you like Carribean food, this place is for you because the Jerk Chicken and Shortrib are the same qualities from the Perfect Day at CocoCay in Bahamas I visited in March 2025. It has a shared free parking lot. read more

I haven't been here in a while but wanted a beef patty'. I waited until 11:00 then 11:05 to call again today and no answer so I opted to eat elsewhere. Had an appointment in Culver City. On my way back I called again and a gentleman answered I just wanted to verify they were open. He responded they open at 11 I explained I called twice and it was no answer. I asked what time they closed because it was after 6pm and he responded 9pm. I was happy because even with traffic I would make it. When I arrived I had a small wait then I ordered a beef patty and small oxtails. He said they were out. I responded no I see one. He responded oh that's for someone else he put it in a bag and placed it back in the warmer. I responded okay. Waited on my food and when I got home I had this. 3 small oxtails and the price has increased since I was last there. This plate looks like a kids meal. I am extremely disappointed. I spent around $30 for this and mac&cheese. I tipped $5. This horrible and my experience was not great as well. I did a review before with 5 stars today only deserves 3! They do have a big screen TV playing videos so the music and ambiance is a good vibe! Hopefully, they will do better! read more

The most flavorless Jamaican food I have ever had in my life. They're just making money off mediocre food. The cabbage was undercooked and the meat tasted plain no flavor whatsoever this food is a horrible smh just because it the Valley doesn't mean we deserve nasty food for high prices I do not recommend I rather drive to Los Angeles where the Jamaican food is delicious unfortunately I can not say this about this restaurant I can make it better at home "flavorless Jamaican restaurant " don't say I didn't warn you! read more

Another Jamaican spot in the Valley! Had to give them a shot. I got the Boston jerk pork and my wife got the ackee and saltfish - which she tends to break open new Jamaican restaurant experiences with. We were running errands in the area, but by the time we arrived, around five or so, it was just us and the staff. The place has an adequate amount of space to the dining room, but with both TV monitors off and no other patrons, it seemed a little more appropriate to eat our food at home. Mentioning this to largely say that the food traveled back well to Sherman Oaks. The heat was still there by the time we dug in. The jerk pork did come off a grill. A nice plus, given the cuisine and the advertising for the item. Not a lot of heat to it, but the spiciness had a presence. The bbq sauce concoction the pork comes with didn't taste like it came from the store and the dumpling in the sauce I guess helped for some house made authenticity. It didn't do much for enhancing the plate though. The rice and peas were very okay. Tasted a little on the old side, but we know these day-long batches of food at Caribbean/soul food places are most available and best enjoyed earlier in the day. My wife was not too impressed with the majority ackee in her ackee and saltfish plate. I had to eat her festival bread and she was less spirited about finishing her half of the beef patty we also ordered - which was flavorful and had a good crust-to-filling ratio. The food we had can satisfy a lot of people who are happy enough to say they know what Jamaican food is, with One876 being their only exposure to the cuisine. The elements of our plates seem to work way better as wholes, if you aren't scrutinizing the quality of the parts on their own. This place checks a box for having had a certain kind of food, without being remarkable. My guess is that their chicken probably does the heavy lifting with a majority of their patrons' impressions. I'm planning to try one of their several chicken dishes on my next visit, with a slice of cake. They do have an attractive menu of dessert options to complete any meal. read more

Terrible!!!! I ordered Curry Chicken and white rice, this was the worst i've ever had. Rice was hard and chicken wasn't tasty. I also got carrot cake and was very dissapointed. Server was not a pleasant person as well. Don't waste you time and money at this Valley location. You've been warned! read more

I ordered takeout from here recently and was very impressed! I ordered the brown stew chicken. It was so tender and packed with flavor! Definitely my favorite part of my meal. It came with a large side of rice which was good but I wasn't blown away by it by any means. It was a bit basic for me but that's just a preference thing or maybe I expected this exciting take on rice, I'm not sure haha. The plantain on the side was delicious. Also got a side of the meat Patty and that was super tasty!! Really enjoyable. Definitely will be back! read more

This place is so delicious. The food is made to order always fresh. They get the best cuts of meat. We usually order the oxtails, red snapper and salmon. Their rice and beans are so yummy. This is the closest thing to Jamaica. I've ever tasted definitely a go to. read more

Employee was rude, he definitely insinuated i wasn't jamaican because i asked for stew peas thinking i meant rice and peas. As if me being a non jamaican would even make a difference. They're also stingy with the festival and plantain. I ordered a large plate and he gave me ONE plantain slice and ONE festival. other than that food was mid, nothing too crazy, definitely would choose a different place. read more

Great service and quality food. Best Caribbean food i have yet tried. Highly recommend!! 10/10

I've come here off and on for a few years, this place was decent to get local Jamaican food in the valley! But the attitude and customer service is so horrible at this place, I've never met employees and business owners be so rude arrogant and distasteful. The women seem to have the nastiest attitudes. No one smiles, no one even tries to attempt to have a pleasant phone etiquette when taking orders. The food isn't bad but isn't the best but when you combine the customer service and nasty attitudes this place isn't worth spending money! They definitely need humbling in this restaurant! read more

The drive was worth it. The food was good and fresh. I went again the next week though and wasn't as impressed and noticed it was a different chef on duty. I recommend and there was free limited parking. Everything tasted authentic the first time but the second time I was disappointed read more

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by courteous staff who welcomed us to the restaurant. I loved how friendly the staff was and they even made suggestions to what we could order. We loved the island atmosphere and lovely sounds of reggae music inside the restaurant. The food portions are big! My favorite is the oxtails and jerk chicken. Their patty selection is also good, and I especially loved their vegan and vegetarian patty option. If you go, you have to try the sorrel! The staff even thanked us for stopping in after our meal. We enjoyed our food, and the attentiveness of the staff. Thank you ONE876. We will be back!! read more
