    Jerk chicken,  rice and peas, Mac n cheese and dumplings
    Kelly M.

    The jerk chicken and curry chicken were so flavorful. Loved it! As for the sides, they all lacked salt. The Mac n cheese was really bland. Once we salted everything they were alright. I definitely liked the coconut rice more than the rice and peas. The veggies and plantains were good. I would not get the mac n cheese again. The dumplings were different. I didn't like them l but I also didn't dislike them. They seem like something you'd have to grow up on to enjoy. The service was great. Super good vibes and people ! The dj on Saturdays until 2am sounds like a great time!

    Stopped by on a Saturday night, it was quiet in the shop and they mostly ran out of everything. Got the goat curry and jerk chicken. Goat curry was a okay, but overwhelmingly salty. Jerk chicken was really really good, a bit on the salty said but man that flavor was just spot on. However the wait was 40mins we definitely missed our chance to view the sunset by the beach the ginger and cucumber juice was quite nice, but it's a bit on the sweet side

    Jerk Chicken plate (large) with greens, mac n cheese, and rice and peas.  DELICIOUSSSSSSS

    Absolutely a joy and delight every time I eat here. Whether it's to go, or in the restaurant, their food is delicious and full of love. Their customer service is the same. If you're looking for rich flavors that hit the spot, definitely come here.

    Authentic Jamaican food with lots of choices and large portions "The best jerked chicken I have ever had," Paul W. While we were there, an artist was repainting the outside of the building. The inside walls have paintings of famous people of color, and their famous quotes are written beside them. Wheel chair accessible. Free parking on site.

    Curry chicken, sautéed veggies and Mac n cheese. Was delicious

    Curry chicken was very delicious, flavor is there. Sautéed veggies and Mac n cheese. I do feel like Mac n cheese is lacking seasoning though. The vibe inside nice as well.

    Just wow...it was my partner and mine's first anniversary and we decided to take a trip to Humboldt to see the new Redwood Skywalk. I did some research on places to eat at in Eureka and the Jerk Kitchen came up. We love all types of foods and the pictures had us hooked. Well let me tell you what... If you do not eat here, YOU ARE MAJORLY MISSING OUT on a flavor explosion of yummy food goodness. Everything was perfect from the chicken, plantains, rice, killer Mac'n'cheese, to the side of cabbage with veggies. My mouth is watering while writing this. Makes me mad I do not live closer. Do yourself a favor and visit The Jerk Kitchen, you won't regret it. Sincerely, A huge fan

    Del, rocking the jerk chicken... #respect

Luckily, I went early enough around 5:30PM and they had 2 spots at the bar/counter. The menu is small but enough, and only complimented by the specials that our waiter read out to us. There were a good amount of dishes so make sure to pay attention haha. I also heard their menu changes ever so often, so hopefully the next time I visit they'll have different offerings. We ordered a Bolo and a special pork chop. The bolo tasted a lot of store bought spaghetti sauce. The noodles were a lot thicker than usual, which was a nice surprise. Overall a solid and safe dish. We also ordered a pork chop, which tasted like a steak. The seasoning was perfect, and it was paired with some of the best roasted potato chunks with bacon. Service was super friendly, and the ambiance was not loud. Good place for date night, and make sure to get reservations!

    Driving through Northern CA and did not expect such a filling and fun meal…read more This spot is definitely a Chinese, Korean, Japanese fusiony spot that I did not expect to find here. We ordered the Chinese Style Lamb Stew, Cheese Corn, Kung Pao Vegetables, and it came with a side of banchan. Every single dish here was absolutely delicious and piping hot! We ended up ordering a second plate of banchan because it was so good. The daikon radish had the most satisfying crunch and the others- cabbage and bean sprouts were very well pickled too! Cheese corn was sweet and honestly a good pairing with the very soury/ pickled soup. The kung pao vegetables would have definitely fooled me if I wasn't told it was mushroom. The batter holds on the oyster mushrooms just like chicken does. Well seasoned. Service was very impressive - there was a single waitress serving lots of tables. She had amazing recommendations and really seemed like she knew what she was doing. Very kind and attentive the entire time. Would love to return.

    Súper disappointed. We have come here several times and usually really enjoy our food-- I don't…read moreknow if today was an off day or we got too experimental but we were shocked tonight. The pan fried chicken dumplings were from Costco, the spicy beef ramen left much to be desired and had an extremely dry egg. And then my friends chow mein came out half way through our meal (they forgot), had no veggies and was sweet?? They kind of attempted to fix it, so we were willing to let things go. That was one thing, then as we were waiting for them to pick up our card to pay, our server, Mira, loudly complained to her coworker about us sending the food back and how we were "pissed" (we weren't, until she started almost yelling about the situation to her coworker). Extremely unprofessional. Makes us second wanting to return in the future.

My…read morehusband and I were disappointed with everything else :( Service : we stopped by one day as we were driving in the area and accidentally found the place, we walked in and the place was cute, we looked at the menus up at the front and after a minute or two I noticed we were there too late and they were in fact closing up shop for the day- totally okay that was our fault ! Howeverrrr I did wish they at least acknowledged us and said the normal "hey guys so sorry, we're closing down for the day, feel free to check out the menu though and for next time our hours are ..." you know ? I work at a cafe myself so maybe this is personal preference but I've always been told not to ignore potential customers so out right. We came back today a few weeks later since I did want to try it and today our service was better, the girl at the counter was nice ! That's about it though, it's a self serve, self sitting, self table-bussing type place so it really can't be impressive since you kinda do it all yourself anyway but she was nice ‍ Drinks / food : Fiance and I ordered coffees, they were okay- good, not great but whatever. The food though was really where things went wrong. I ordered a kids waffle because I really wasn't all that hungry but my husband was so he ordered the full sized waffle. UHHHHHHH They're the same size ? I was really confused about this because the kids one is $9 which is fine but the adult one was $16 if I remember right and it was the same exact waffle but with whipped cream on top. Mine came with syrup but his did not which I also thought was kinda odd, we ended up just sharing mine anyway but why would something almost double the price be the same size as a child's plate.. The size of the waffle was the size of *maybe* 2 frozen eggs waffles, but possibly even thinner I don't know I guess I was just expecting a nice fluffy thick waffle more than an eggo toast like one. Time: took forever. Coffee took about 20 minutes, food at least another 20, reminder we just ordered what ended up being the tiniest 2 waffles so I don't know how it takes that long to cook.. there were no sides or anything that came with it so it was definitely a simple order that should've been pretty quick imo. I doubt we will be coming back, $50 for 2 alright coffees and eggo waffles that took ~45 mins kinda rubbed me the wrong way but at least we can say we gave it a fair shot ‍

    Another really scrumptious meal. We did takeaway this trip…read more Right at their 5 pm dinner opening time on a Monday evening. We enjoyed generous servings of pork fried rice, excellent chicken satay and crispy egg rolls. All absolutely delicious. Great fresh ingredients, wonderful and tasty preparations. Always very good service, even when taking carryout. And the dang candies they give out after dining are soooo incredibly yummy. I think it's guava, perhaps. Refreshing and a nice surprise in my mouth. As always, delightful. We will return soon. Did I mention the FREE off street parking? Beautiful dining room. Spotless kitchen.

Our family is part Cambodian, so where we live there are some restaurants but not close by so we jumped on the opportunity especially since it was nearby where we were staying. Definitely left satisfied and it felt nice to have the food since we were far from home. Service was great and attentive and glad they didn't mind we came within the last hour and let us take our time since we had a long day in the park which we enjoyed with our 7 month old. Don't really know the area so to us it seemed hidden. But people were coming in constantly picking up orders . So I'm sure it's well known and popular. The ambience is nice inside, and would recommend if you like Cambodian food or haven't tried it. Looking forward to bringing more family with us next time we come back in the area.
