    Oxtail dish - yum!
    Charles N.

    My eyes are fixated, my mouth dribbles, my nose is intoxicated by the fragrant concoction of what is being prepared in the kitchen! The stove, the grill and the oven are all fired up. The room fills up with a mix of char grill smoke and a magical aroma and makes your imagination run wild and makes you want to order everything that is on the menu! Jamaican cuisine is an adventure for the palate due to the blend of spices and herbs used in cooking such as scallions, ginger, thyme, garlic, cinnamon, peppercorns, nutmeg, pimento and hot peppers. Not exactly like what you would get in Jamaica but Boom J does a preeeeetty decent job bringing us a piece of "paradise" to Montreal tantalizing your taste bud while appeasing your eyes. Here you can find truly authentic Jamaican staples such as Jerk Chicken, BBQ Chicken, Chicken Wings, Pineapple Chicken, Curried Goat, Shrimp Curry, Oxtail, Variety of Roti, King Fish, Red Snapper, Ackee and Salt Fish, savoury Jamaican Patties, Coco bread, pretty much all your can dream of. Yeah, I did try everything but am partial to Curried Goat Roti and the Oxtail - deeelish! All plates are available in small (which is actually regular) or large size, and come with rice (white or with beans), salad, and plantain. If it's your first time, ease in with the $6 lunch special where you can try one of their styles of chicken and some rice. Oh here's a secret... ask for the extra-flavourful and spicy sauce made with Scotch Bonnet peppers, it's worth it - promise! Just go easy cuz it's hot! Boom J, is a true family affair, where you will find mom, dad, brother, sister-in-law and so many more I can't keep count in the kitchen or at the counter waiting for you to make your mind as you scan through the vast menu. Which reminds me of a great Jamaican saying and song "No man is and island, no man is alone..." meaning no person can do it all by themselves, life depends on all things and beings working together and it's so true here. Yah Mon! Mi nuh hav nutten fi complain bout, everything eez alright. Respect! One Love!

    Small jerk chicken plate ~ absolutely delicious!

    Haven't had a lot of jerk chicken but this place is definitely delicious and worth trying! The smell of the chicken is blooming even before you enter the little restaurant. As soon as you open the door, the smoked bbq chicken immediately waters your mouth. You know the food is good even before tasting it from the smell. I told the employe behind the counter and that it was my first time. He recommended the jerk chicken so that's what I took. Although the good had cool down a bit by the time I arrived home, the food was still amazing! Chicken was smoky and sweet with a hint of spicyness. The meat was really juicy and tender. It came with a side of rice, salad and plantain. Everything was delicious. Also took a chicken Jamaican patty. They claim it was the best in town, but it was just alright. This joint definitely is worth trying. Will be back again to try the other items on the menu.

    Curried Chicken with a side of Jerk Chicken

    If you're a fan of Caribbean food then Boom J's is worth a try. The curried chicken was great. Very tasty and juicy. I got the large order and it was huge. I also had a side of jerk chicken and for my taste it was just ok. On the plus side, it was also juicy and tender. With a nice char flavour from the grill and a light sweetness. What it was missing was any flavour of jerk. I'm looking for allspice and thyme and there was none detectable. Almost as if it was brined in a sugar solution then grilled. Not my favorite. There was a generous load of rice & peas as well.

    Can't get enough of this place !! Growing up in a Jamaican household with a mother that loved to cook, my standard for Caribbean food is set really high. I've been scouring this city for the last 2 years for a restaurant that makes my heart sing and I have finally found it !! The food is well seasoned, they give generous portions and the staff is friendly The only thing I would say is that their rice is dry...this can be easily fixed by asking for extra gravy Enjoy!!

    Beef patty

    I had the pleasure of trying this place this afternoon. I heard a lot of buzz from people from work about this place so I decided to take a walk and try it. The place is really small and has a few chairs to dine in but it seems the majority of the people do take out. There menu has all the great Caribbean cuisine from jerk chicken to ox tail and patties for a hand held lunch. I took the small lunch portion of jerk chicken. It came with rice and beans and a pickled salad. I think that's what it was. Was delicious. The jerk rub is very flavourful just wish it had more heat to it. Still the best jerk I tried in Montreal. I also had a beef patty, the inside lacked some flavour and the pastry was too soft for me. The service was pretty slow considering there was 2 people in front of me, but I would definitely try it again, maybe the ox tail. Heard it's fall of the one tender. :)

    Perfectly spiced King fish.. the picture does no justice to the quantity, but i selfishly ate it without retaking the pic

    This place popped up on Yelp and I definitely wanted to try it. As soon as I reached Montreal, I…read moremade my way there for lunch. Didn't need a reservation since it wasn't a busy time. I was seated right away. The place looks super chic. I liked the wood decor. They have music playing in the background. Some days there are DJs in house. I ordered the lakay bob cocktail. Drink was strong. I tasted that alcohol immediately. For my meal, I tried the Jamaican oxtail patty and of course, banann ak morue!!! It's been a minute since I've had this meal so I was excited. The patty was amazing. The dough was light and fluffy. The oxtail was flavorful and blended well. I didnt too much care for the ketchup sauce. Glad it came on the side. The morue was not as expected. It was good overall but I feel like there were more peppers onions than the actual morue. Nice little place to dine with plenty to do around the area. Oh parking may be tough but there is a lot right nearby. Hopefully it isn't full for you.
