Came in for the first time today and let the person at the ordering encounter know; she was super nice and let me try a couple of things before ordering. I ended up getting the curry goat plate and it was absolutely incredible. It had the perfect amount of spice, it was loaded with flavor, and the goat was cooked to perfection. The rice and beans and veggies and fried plantains were a great side. I also got the Pineapple Giner drink and it was fantastic, went really well with the meal! The vibe of the store felt super cozy and great, it really felt like the "local spot you want to tell your friends about." I also loved all the drinks and items around the store! I'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

Sattdown Jamaican Grill - Grandma's Curried Goat - Caribbean Near Me - Studio City, California

I'll start out by saying that I'm half Jamaican and Bajan. I've grown up with Caribbean food for my entire life and I'm extremely picky when it comes to Jamaican food--especially rice and peas and oxtails. This unfortunately did not taste authentic to me and I'm assuming that many of the reviewers here can't tell the difference between authentic and "good". Is it good? Sure. But if you're expecting it to taste like true Jamaican food, I would go elsewhere. I was definitely a little suspicious when they had jerk oxtail on the menu and the patty (not pictured) did not have that same golden, flaky covering I was expecting. I actually ended up ordering the jerk oxtail because it was described as a spicier version of their traditional oxtail plate and my boyfriend ordered their jerk chicken plate + a beef patty. Plates come with rice and peas, veggies, and plantains. If that oxtail was supposed to be spicy, I'm not sure what kind of flavoring to expect with the traditional plate. The sauce that they used didn't give jerk at all on either plates and it tasted almost like a BBQ/ketchup-y sauce. It lacked the hint of ginger, garlic, and scotch bonnet peppers that I'm used to. The rice and peas were cool but could've used more coconut milk. I will say the portions were pretty generous and I think the meat was tender which I think is hard to do at mass so I will give them two stars for that but I'm not sure I would go here again. Jamaican food in general is expensive so I'm not gonna ding this place for that but when you pay for food in this price range, you should expect it to deliver. As always, I'm glad to see that my people are doing well and others seem to like their food but I hope in the future they can add a little more authenticity into their dishes by using spices straight from Jamaica to give it that oomph that was clearly missing for me. read more

This was my first time at SattDown in Studio City. A friend who lives in LA suggested our meet up for there and it didn't disappoint. It's small and only has 2 tables and most order to go. Everyone ordered a combo so we could have a choice of 2 meets entrees--it was hard to pick just one. I ordered the curry goat and oxtails and the combo included rice and pea and plantains. I would definitely go back. The space also has a store and interesting photos on the wall. read more

Wow! Sattdown Jamaican Grill is officially a must-visit in Studio City. I came in because everyone kept telling me to try their vegan oxtail, and it did not disappoint -- tender, flavorful, and seasoned to perfection. Pair it with the classic rice & peas, fried plantains, and fresh veggies, and you've got a full plate that hits every note. I also tried the ginger pineapple drink, which was refreshing and the perfect balance of sweet with a little kick. The whole vibe here feels warm, welcoming, and true to Jamaican flavor, with plenty of vegan options that make it easy to order a full meal without compromise. If you're vegan and looking for authentic, bold flavors in Los Angeles, this is your spot. Already TLW approved -- and I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu! read more

Visited Sattdown Jamaican Grill while in Studio City, CA. The atmosphere was casual and laid-back, and the service was friendly. We stopped in craving some Caribbean food and tried the roti -- it was okay, but coming from a Trinidad roti perspective, it didn't quite hit the mark for me. That said, it was still a satisfying meal overall. Overall, a decent spot if you're in the area and craving Caribbean flavors. Saluti read more

Just bought food from here this evening and i have to stay it's probably the worst Jamaican food i ever bought! Two orders of jerk chicken & oxtail with 2 beef patties, one cracker snack, a carrot cake & a drink. The food taste is horrible and smell! The little I tasted took me straight to the bathroom! The two orders are sitting here before I dispose them in the trash! I barely leave comments but I always tried another place in Hollywood which was excellent , then I decided to try this place and it's the worst decision I ever made! About $100 food about to go to waste! ‍ read more

Amazing lunch bowl with jerk chicken. Loved the restaurant and the chef and his family are very nice. I am never disappointed

I had the jerk shrimp.. it was so good, and the cabbage was seasoned so well. The oxtail was nice and spicy, also very tender. My favorite drink when I come to is the fruit punch drink. Everyone is always so nice and friendly; the service is always the best . It's a very cute small restaurant, and they have all of the Caribbean spices and pepper sauce. I will come back again for sure. read more

Been ordering delivery since Im car-less these days. Place hasnt lost their quality. Ive been coming here for maybe 10 years in total. Its always been consistent. Maybe not the absolute best Jamaican place in LA, but good value, portions and flavor. The family does a great job of running the place and they are good about special orders. It has nice "island" vibe in the decor with a jamaican "mini-mart" with spices, snacks, and drinks. For me I can only eat here when they have free delivery online, as Id rather not pay extra fees, and only driver tip. If I happen to borrow or rent a car, Im happy to come here. This place has been around for years, and has stayed in business. No easy task with the tight and busy parking lot. read more

First meal today: Oxtail w/rice /sweet plantains/veggies. A generous amount of oxtail will leave you wanting more. Then you find yourself sucking the bone . I usually have leftovers but I ate everything. You cannot put the fork down at Sattdown. I'm in a food coma now, yet I have never been happier. Introduce Sattdown Jamaican Food to your taste buds. read more

Sattdown down Jamaican Grill had the kindest employees and the most tasty food. I ordered for takeout and tried their vegan curry plate and it was so flavorful! I ordered mild, but it was still a little spicy, but I'm extremely weak to any spice levels so this was a personal issue anyone else would enjoy this dish (and I still did with a glass of cold water) :D 5/5. The mac & cheese was delicious and had a crisp top to it, I wish it was a little less oily, but I would definitely order it again 5/5. They have a parking lot, but it is small and very busy. read more

Ordered the Jerk Chicken and it was amazing! The chicken was tender, moist and had tons of flavor. The rice and veggies were the perfect side dishes. The portions were perfect! I will definitely order this again. If you're in the mood for Jamaican food, look no further. read more

It's been a while since I came so I was surprised when I entered it looked like a convenience store! You order at the counter, and there are a few tables inside and outside. There were quite a bit of food delivery/take out orders. We wanted some oxtail, so we came here and also got the jerk chicken. You can select the heat level but the lowest for the non-vegan and non-seafood is medium. The combo plates come with rice and beans, veggies and plantains. The jerk oxtail was in its own sauce while the jerk chicken was blackened. Consequently while both were "medium" the oxtail had noticeably more heat. Oxtail was quite juicy! Chicken perhaps was too grilled though with some extra burned ends. There is a parking lot but you can also park on the street: metered on Ventura and free (read the signs) on the residential side streets. read more

A friend was visiting and so I immediately knew that I wanted is to have Jamaican food. Since Sattdown was an unexplored place I'd heard about but never experienced, I was super clear that tonight was the night! There's not much to the place but it's definitely charming. There's about 3 tables inside and 2 outside and it's set up like a Jamaican or Bahamian grocery store. You can actually buy all kinds of foods and drink that you might find in Jamaica or the Bahamas. We were warmly welcomed and fortunately our food didn't take too long to show up. I ordered oxtails and the meat fell off the bones. The jerk chicken I also had existed on our table for mere moments and the pigeon peas and rice....chefs kiss!! I was impressed by the fact the had vegan oxtails as well. Now I usually take photos but once the food came, I didn't come up for air until the only thing in front of me was a plate full of bones and jerk sauce. It was SUCH a satisfying meal!!! Next time I'll order my food to go so that I can eat ad sloppily as I want to, and then immediately pass out...completely satisfied!!! read more

10/10 and I had this delivered via Uber and it held UP and then some. This is the best Jamaican this side of the 405. I'm from Brooklyn, had a million beef patties in my life, and Sattdown's is up at the top! I had the jerk chicken plate and it did not miss. My husband had chicken stew and he loved it. The rice and beans were delicious too. We will def be back and this time order direct. Keep on keeping on Sattdown! LA is lucky to have you! read more

It was perfectly flaky with just the right amount of spice in the meat filling. Staff was so nice explaining the menu. There is a parking lot and cards are accepted. Come check this place out read more

Excellent fire Jamaican joint! Discovered this little restaurant when I was living in studio city and I have to admit it was definitely hit home. Being from Miami florida Caribbean restaurants are very typical and finding a Jamaican spot in studio city was phenomenal. The jerk chicken is beyond fire, the oxtail is point. They have natural juices as well. I highly recommend this spot to anyone wondering if this place is worth it and let me reassure you that it definitely is . The service is amazing, the ambiance felt like being back home in Miami. Will be coming back soon when I get back to California. Thank you ! read more

I always appreciate Sattdown. The food is ALWAYS super good and VERY plentiful for the price. I am sad I forgot to order my chicken soup but I ordered online and it did not have the option. Nonetheless, I ordered the oxtail and goat combo. I was sad that the food did not come with a festival bread. I thought that was standard but I thought wrong. The oxtail and goat was soooooo good. It was tender and just perfect. The beef patty was good. The cabbage and rice was superb and well seasoned. At first, there was NO spice in the food but then I remembered the sauce they gave me, on the side, and I am so happy it was on the side. Mannnnnnn, that was spicy but sooo good and just perfect. I haven't been inside Sattdown in a Long while because I order to go. But I was happy to see that it now also serves as a grocery store so you can pick up your local Jamaican seasoning that you will not find in the store and that was GREAT. They also still have seats, in the cut, to enjoy your meal. It is very bright and just like home. Clean inside and the staff were super kind. The parking lot still is NOT parking friendly. It is still a hit or miss because it is a plaza of many stores and it's literally get in where you fit in read more

10/10. I'm Dominican and I know Caribbean food. This is authentic Jamaican cuisine--no question. I'm also from NY, so I know what I'm talking about when it comes to good food. The seasoning? Perfect. Just the right amount of spice to wake up your taste buds without overpowering the dish. I got the oxtail and they were generous with the portion. Fall-off-the-bone tender, full of flavor--absolutely worth it. And the banana cream bread pudding? WOW. If you love bananas, do yourself a favor and get that. So. Freaking. Delicious. read more

My friend and I were looking for some good Jamaican food and we heard good things about Sattdown! FLAVOR (4.5/5): 1. JAMAICAN PATTY (BEEF): This was by far the highlight of the meal. I would come back just for this. The beef patty was seasoned perfectly and wasn't dry at all. The hot sauce they have at the table is also really good. 2. JAMAICAN PATTY (JERK CHICKEN): The beef patty outshined the chicken patty, which was still good but on the drier side. 3. SATTDOWN'S WINGS (JERK SAUCE): The wings were seasoned and cooked well and I thought that this was a great appetizer to share! 4. JERK CHICKEN DISH: The jerk chicken dish was good and they used the same sauce we picked for their wings. I liked the plantains, but wish they were a little saucier. SERVICE (5/5): Service was good! Family owned and the waiter was super friendly. PARKING (5/5): It's in a strip mall so there's private lot parking. TAKEAWAYS: The star of the show here was really the Beef Jamaican Patty. If it was up to me I would order 10 of these. They're still good if you take them home and pop them in the air fryer! :) read more

Vegan Review Y'all I drove from LAX to darn near Universal City walk for this and they did not disappoint. The vegan oxtail is amazing the peppers and save on top are really savory. The rice, peas and veggies are so flavorful. I paid extra for the festival bread which omg I wish I had 2 servings of it and the purple drink whew. I'm ready to go today. So I went and I went to order the vegan oxtail and the staff was kind enough to make it but typically I'm told it is not available today. Call ahead to be sure. The food did not disappoint read more

Sattdown Jamaican Grill - Drove out today after work for the Vegan Oxtails and I got sorrel freshly made - Caribbean Near Me - Studio City, California

I have driven by this restaurant countless times and didn't realize that a taste from heaven was in my path for the past year. The food is super delicious! We tried both vegan oxtails ( yes, you read this right) Vegan Oxtails , Escovitch Red Snapper, Regular Oxtails and Mac $ Cheese with jerk sauce. Everything was amazing. The owner/Chef truly cares about his customers. One customer wanted to ship a meal out of state because it was so good! The owner agreed to take care of the customer. This is a small restaurant with seating indoors/outdoors. You can even buy some of the seasonings to make you own Jamaican creations at home. Tony, thank you for an amazing meal, conversation, laughs, and hospitality! We are customers for life. #SatDownJamaicanFood read more

I am vegetarian and have been for over 36 years and my family is not, so this was a great place for us to try. Sattdown was a rare opportunity to please everyone with the vegan options, like Vegan Ox Tails Vegan Curry Chic'n, or simply a Vegan plate. They have real meat as well, real ox tails, chicken, and fish. It did give me a friendly local Jamaican vibe type of store when i walked in. The lady at the counter immediately knew that it was our 1st time there from our questions, so she slowed down and explained the 2 different types of diets (meat/veggie) We ordered food to eat there, all of us got sometype of pattie, veggie, beef, chicken, whatever. We bought drinks and waited in the lil dining area. We laughed, talked, shopped (its still a market too) the music playing was perfect for the ambiance. Food came out and I thought mine was excellent! Let me back up, my pattie was GOOD! Everyone like there's too. I had the Vegan curry chic'n. Very tasty! I am a big guy so I wanted more on my plate, but most ppl would say that it was enough. The ox tail was fatty and not that much meat at all, but I heard that the flavor was good. I added on some Festival Bread, which was cool at 1st, but started to get hard towards the end of the meal. Everyone pland on going back, I definitely do plan on going back. The service was friendly, the food was good, just could have been a bit better on the portion size, but like I said, the food was good and I do plan on going back very soon! read more

Best food I've eaten in AWHILE! Everything was made with love... you could just tell! They have a great little market too:)

Delicious Jerk Chicken... this place is amazing. I highly recommend it ... I have been to Jamaica many times and they get it right.

I hadn't been there in severely years because I moved but my husband and our kids decided to take a little road trip back . Omg!! The food was absolutely amazing just as I remember so good I had the oxtails and Ackee and salt fish so good chef Tony was there he's so nice the Sattdown is a complete vibe literally the best Jamaican food in the valley read more

Suprised my husband as he had been wanting curry goat and I was having a hard time finding it where we live. Well my research paid off and the evening went great! Service was amazing and we conversed with the owner for quite some time (I forgot his name) and he even gave me a few samples to try since I'm so picky. My husband got the goat and LOVED it! I had no complaints at all about the food at all and I really do not eat Jamaican food. The place is on the small side and a bit cramped; we were able to eat there and had a table in the back. Definitely will bring the Mr back again next time we are in the area read more

Amazing service and recommendations. Got what I needed for the kitchen and some great patties on the way out.

Coming back here again to fulfill my Jamaican food craving! The jerk chicken is the way to go! The flavor of the chicken is absolutely perfect! Service is fast and a bit rushed. I've never dined in but the place looks like a good mom and pops kinda spot read more
