One of the BEST Jamaican spots in Little Caribbean Brooklyn. I stopped by to experience the smoky jerk chicken and it was delicious - part of the reason is that the meat (chicken and pork) is cooked on the outdoor grill. It is a must try to understand why! The lobster and conch is cooked to order, so you may want to call ahead to avoid waiting too long. I also ordered plantains and a festival - both done well, but be prepared for small servings of both sides. This vibrant place is more like a pick up and go, so don't come here expecting to dine in. The service is normally what you experience at most Caribbean spots - place your order, pay, wait and you're on your way. Nothing epic - you're here for the food! So, if you are in Brooklyn and interested in taking some Jamaican food to go, this is a great spot to try! read more

I saw this restaurant on IG and had to go there to see for myself. I am happy to say everything you heard about them is absolutely true! The food is amazing. I purchased a small Jerk chicken dinner with rice & peas, steamed cabbage and a side of festival (3 comes in the order) First of all, the portion for a small is a lot (I couldn't finish it). The jerk chicken is well seasoned and juicy, rice & peas and cabbage equally delicious and not hard at all. I loved the festival, soft and delicious. The staff is very nice and welcoming. This establishment is a take-out restaurant and I was there around 2:30pm (Thursday) and there was a line but it moves quickly. There are 2 locations, the other is in Queens. If you're looking for some delicious food, I highly suggest you make your way to Yaad Man Thing. Tell them I sent you. Enjoy! read more

Peeps around here already know that this is the best restaurant jerk chicken in BK. They used to be a pop up only Thur - Sat afternoons, & the line was always down the street around the block. Now, thankfully, they have a brick & mortar, & you can just order your food like a normal person & not like a deranged fanatic w a lawn chair arriving at 5am. Also, they have a few stools & a counter, too, so you no longer have to eat your food standing outside on the sidewalk. Why is their the JC the best of any BK restaurant ? -better quality chicken -the seasoning -the sauce -their grill / smoker Pl note - my jerk chicken here at Al Paragus HQ is still the best - but I am not a jerk chicken restaurant. When I am jonsing (esp when it's cold) - this is where I go. PS - I am drooling just thinking about how good they are. I was just asked today if I wanted JC picked up for me, & my reply was, "TY, but if it's not Yaadman Thing, no thank you". read more

Yaad Man Thing - Jerk Chicken ... with Jerk Sauce - Food Trucks Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Had a bunch of leftover side dishes from Christmas, so thought of this restaurant, because they offer meat only options, and I genuinely liked the food when the orders would actually go through... it's been over a year so hoped they'd worked out their delivery order kinks by now. WRONG! Placed an order on GrubHub minutes to 6pm, they cancelled and refunded the order at 7:10. WHY ARE YOU ON THESE ORDER PLATFORMS IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE BANDWIDTH?!! read more

If you're ever deep in Flatbush you have to try this restaurant!! couldn't resist ordering the signature dish, jerk chicken and jerk pork. The chicken was tasty, tender, and perfectly seasoned. Each bite was a an explosion of flavors that reminded me of my grandparents kitchen. The rice and peas was light and fluffy and the veggies were soft. The menu also has a variety of seafood dishes, soaps and other eats. The service was also pretty good. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, taking the time to explain the dishes and offer. read more

Tried this place after seeing a review on tiktok. Let's just say it's my new favorite place to get jerk chicken. The chicken itself is really flavorful. You can taste that it came straight off the grill they have going outside, and the jerk bbq sauce is top tier. Service was pretty good as well. Everyone seemed very pleasant! I definitely will be back! read more

Ok...... Jerk chicken from Yaad Man Ting.... It satisfies my jerk chicken craving but not the best. The chicken's texture was as if they pre-cooked the chicken and finished it off on the grill. I didn't taste the jerk pork because it was an hour wait. The festival was small but good. I would try one more time before I say no. read more

Sublime. Will definitely go again! The food is awesome, just delish.........make it a stop on your daily adventures. read more

I ordered jerk chicken, jerk pork, rice and peas and their version of rasta pasta. Everything was delicious. Jhennell was at the register and took our order. She was very thorough and was extremely polite. They have huge grills outside where they smoke the meat. You can pretty much see the food upon arrival and everything looks very neat and clean. I'll definitely be back. read more

Best goat head soup I have ever had from a Brooklyn restaurant. It was spicy, but not overly done with spice, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! I closed my eyes and said Thank you Jesus! The curry goat (w/ white rice), jerk chicken, jerk pork and rice and peas were amazingly delicious. It took me straight back to yaad. It was nice! I can't wait to go back and try the oxtail, and brown stew fish and ackee and saltfish. Service and ambiance were great. Cashiers and servers were very polite, friendly and very professional. I am a customer for life. AWR read more

Awesome food! Great customer service. A little restaurant doing big ting! Father&daughter approved read more

No frills jerk chicken spot servicing the usual fare. Jerk chicken was smoking and juicy pair it with bbq sauce and generous slathering of jerk sauce. Festival was crisp outside and moist on the inside. Washed it down with their in house Sorrel. Service and ambiance is what you'd expect from your typical jerk pit. Minimal seating/ carry out read more

Great staff...Jerk chicken, pork and ribs are well seasoned and grilled to perfection. I haven't had a chance to try the side dishes definitely on the to do list. read more

The food taste like back home when you go out on the road and get box food. Food was seasoned perfectly and contained all the right spices. This is a restaurant you have to get in the establishment early, or the food will run out. Service is on point as I rarely was in the restaurant for more than 10 minutes. read more

This place only serves meat . No sides . Rice and other sides is easy to find within the area so you shouldn't be too deterred. I only tried the Chicken but they do offer pork ribs and shrimp if that's your thing. The chicken though is some of the best I've had . The slight char along with the balance of the sauces (jerk and bbq) is really something to behold . The lines can get really long and the wait time can be annoying but the chicken is worth especially if it's eaten same day . read more

Really pretty foul. These guys are now cooking three blocks away at a cemetery, half out of a U-Haul, and hauling in lukewarm food. BBQ was okay when it was fresher, but at this point, everything is gross. read more

Food was amazing. I recommend the jerk chicken and pork combo. My only issue was they didn't give me my jerk sauce on the side. read more

Food is good. Goat head soup is delicious! I will visit again. He jerk chicken falls off the bone and well seasoned.

They did not add the rice I ordered.The chicken was salty per my friend.So disappointing.Fish was disappointing.Just expected better

Great tasting food. The food is precooked and in a warmer so when it is served it is a little warm. I got a mix of pork and chicken and it the chicken was very tender and the pork was super tasty. Also the plantains were pre made and tasted good but the texture wasn't there. read more

Worst jerk ive had. I wanted to support this business. I dont think any of my food was seasoned or jerked. The chicken tasted like bbq chicken. This is not a yaad man tiing! The rice tasted like it was from a box. Not going back. read more

I had the jerk chicken, Rasta pasta and steam vegetables from this restaurant. Eating this food resulted in me having the worst case of food poisoning that sent me to the ER. The chicken was rushed and wasn't cooked well. I had over 12 hours of none stop vomiting and diarrhea. This was my first and last time ever trying their food. Just wanted to warn future customers. And to the restaurant next time prepare quality standard food for paying customers!!!! read more
