    Curry Special
    Yohanna L.

    Best food I've had in Jax. Highly recommend!! I heard about this restaurant through a friend who lives in the area and knows I love eating like a local. She was raving about it and I'm so glad I went! My husband was hooked and made me promise to go back every time we're in town. Go see for yourself!

    Beef patty and carrot juice
    Marie F.

    I'm hungry and I have no clue what I want. This rarely happens (side eye). Just left a community engagement meeting on the Northside (way north) and the bubble guts were getting loud. Then I noticed this place was still saved in bookmarks with varying reviews and no pics. :-/ #$%# it - I can grab a quick snack then get a real meal later. I get off the highway and immediately feel a little sketchy about the area. Nothing really seems open even though it's after noon on a Saturday? Then I see the line! There's a line of patrons waiting at this small walk up take out stand! I park as tightly as I can and shuffle around some folks to peak at the menu. I was hoping for calallo & salt fish or ackee - but instead I see shrimp scampi? So this place has the bootleg Queens/Brooklyn vibe. Looked like several mothers were cooking away in the kitchen. Don't except smiles and warm welcomes. Place your order, pay, and step to the side and wait. Depending on what you order. That wait can get pretty long. (First time my patty took at least 10 minutes. But it's so good I couldn't complain - just go in with proper expectations.) There's a small outside patio for those that can't wait the drive/walk home to eat. But most take the food and run. As I'm waiting I notice a super tall built dude that walked out in a dockyard navy blue out fit that said "SECURITY"? Dude really? Me love: curry goat, beef patties(spiced nice), and carrot juice (so sweet). Be ready for all types of goodness. It's inexpensive and portions are huge. Spit fyah and a cuss: limited menu and no true vegetarian options - and no fish This small walk up has been a staple for the area for over 30 years so I don't see them going anywhere for a long time. Keep supporting local business.

    No Flavor -_-

    Ordered the curry chicken with rice. That is literally what you get. Not even potato with the chicken. Rice was hard as if it was old. Food didn't really have flavor making it bland. Fruit Punch was amazing though. If your fine with rice, some gravy and a few pieces of chicken then don't let my review stop you. Won't be back unless I just want some of that Punch!

    This place has been around for years but the food is not the greatest, I had the worst watered down nastiest lack of flavor curry chicken ever & the beef patty tasted like straight cardboard like it had been sitting on the shelf for decades. If you want good jamaican food in jacksonville check out spices or caribbean sunrise bakery. Dont go to this place.

    Had a taste for curry chicken. Stop by here. They went up on they prices. Curry chicken is $7. It was ok but it wasn't seasoned.They usually have the gravy thicker but it wasn't this time.The. fruit punch is so good. I went thru the drive thru.The lady was friendly and joking around. They sale oxtails on weekends.

For the check... had to ask. Love to feel like a bother and paying for it at the same time But really I have never visited this location and has good or great service. Most importantly after spending so much time here my friend and I both spent the night up sick. Not sure if it was from the wings or the ramen but it seemed we both had a slight case of food poisoning. Overall save yourself the time and drive to other ramen places available in Jax, as there are much better ones that won't leave you sick.

It's the perfect casual stop to cool off, relax, and refuel. The food never misses. The roti canai is a must every time, and the bao buns are all amazing but the chicken and pork belly are my favorites. The beef noodles are packed with flavor, and the cucumber salad is the perfect fresh, crunchy balance to everything else. For drinks, the Buddha beers always hit the spot, and the adult "Capri Sun" mojito is dangerously refreshing. Pro tip: Ask for a side of chili oil it takes everything up a notch. Great food, great drinks, and a laid-back vibe that keeps us coming back. Perfect post-beach stop.

They're at 10586 Old St Augustine Road in Mandarin with a nice size parking lot so their location is great and parking isn't a concern. I'll get to the food in a minute but I'll start by saying that before we opened our fortune cookies at the end, I jokingly said "I hope one of these says 'you will get your original Facebook account back". They didn't say that but I included a photo of both because I feel like they're close enough As far as food goes, we split the Peony Sampler for an appetizer and loved it. It definitely did it's job as a sampler because now we know we like all of their appetizers and would order any of them on their own in the future. I ordered Egg Drop Soup after that because it's a favorite of mine. I always add a little salt to their version of it but I add salt to a lot of soups so that may just be a "me" thing. I had the Sweet & Sour Pork with Fried Rice for my entree, which is the same things had last time and it's still great. Between the appetizer and the soup and the entree, I was hoping to have enough to take home for lunch tomorrow and I definitely did. My wife had the General Chicken. She really liked the sauce because it was sweet but has a little bit of spicy kick to it. She said the same thing I said about the chicken itself; she loved that it was big pieces of juicy white meat. She was also surprised by how much she liked the broccoli which made for one of those things where you could get a bite of everything at once. She also had a lot to take home, so she's happy with that too. Thank you again to the person who posted about Peony in the group recently. We had a great lunch thanks to your reminder.
