Let's talk about the customer service, I was greeted as soon as I walked in. The food selection is pretty cooked and on display. (Makes for easy ordering process). The food seems to be authentic. The beef patty was nice and flaky with a nice ratio of beef. The jerk chicken delicious. But that's about all. The side dishes (cabbage and spinach) were bland and could use some spices (salt, pepper, seasoning). I didn't like the fact you got 2 pieces of chicken for the jerk dinner $13plus . Only a leg and thigh. That's not fulfilling or a good price. I think the dinner portion should be bigger and then maybe you can increase the cost.

I ended up ordering curry chicken with rice & peas and plantains. Beverage of choice was Jamaican pineapple & ginger soda. The meat was falling off the bone and flavorful. Sides were great but what made this an even better food experience was my convo with Karen as she was preparing my food. Such a pleasant lady who I can tell puts love in her cooking. Whenever I'm back on that side of town, I'll be sure to be back to Reid's Jerk Shack. One of the best on Eastern Blvd.

    Konoko was an absolutely amazing dining experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere…read morewas beautiful -- well lit, clean, mellow music, and the décor and artistic design are truly next level. The service was top tier. Sasha Fierce, Cecil, and Herb were phenomenal and made the entire experience even better. As a fellow Jamaican, finding authentic food that truly tastes like home can feel like finding a diamond in the rough, and Konoko delivered. I had the oxtails with rice and peas, steamed cabbage, and sweet plantains, and every bite was incredible. My friend had the curry shrimp with rice, and the ginger beer cocktail was refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. It was 100% worth the trip from Virginia Beach, and we will absolutely be back. A true hidden gem.

He annoyed the hell outta me about the place with Good Music, black people , and those "good noodles". So I drove him up here and he made us lose our first table by changing his mind to order take out. (help me ) Anyways , we leave out and the door man dressed in all black says "Hey , are you leaving?". I told him my friend expected an upbeat experience and he assured us that the DJ was about to start playing shortly. So , we go back inside and we're taken upstairs to another table within 5 min. I never dined upstairs , I thought it was strictly for private parties. Anyways, our "flight attendant " introduced herself and welcomed us aboard a flight to Jamaica This Saturday night was really busy. Lots of birthdays and dinners. I usually come on Weekdays and sit at the bar. I ordered from the Likkle Plates menu with Signature Jerk Wings $17 and a side of cabbage $6. I wasn't that hungry... I been working out ‍. (Summer body loading btw) I really had this KONOKO Mocktail on mind....oh before I forget ... There is 18% gratuity added to ALL CHECKS . 20% gratuity for 8+ Party NO SPLIT CHECKS FOR PARTIES OVER 8+ ppl. Online and Take Out orders have extra 3% fee.

I ordered on a large tablet kiosk. The price was pretty high for the food. I chose jerk chicken, coco bread and a beef patty. My order came out before the alotted time of 15 minutes (out in about 5 minutes). I couldnt wait to jump into to tasting my food. I immediately ate the beef patty which by far was the best of my meal. It was flaky and tasty. I then ate the coco bread which was soft and satisfying. When I got home I indulged in the main meal and sadly was disappointed. The rice was dry, the cabbage was plain/tasteless and the jerk was not good. I have had a hard time getting authentic cooked carribean/jamaican food. Its so commercialized and missing steps and seasoning. It may satisfy someone else but this is not what I will rush across town to get and the price was high for a meal that I am not going to eat. Good part was the beef patty was the highlight making it 3 stars.

I met up with a dear friend of mine for lunch. She never had I.Q. before and I wanted her to try them out. I bought my favorite- brown stew chicken with rice and peas. She bought jerk chicken with rice and peas. As always, this place is always jumping! We came on a weekday, during the lunch hour. Although, we called our orders in beforehand, there was still a wait. This is kind of normal, so if you're in a hurry, you may be a bit frustrated. They definitely take their time. My friend asked for peppers to top her food with. What I assumed would be a quick 1-2 minute task seemed like almost ten minutes! After about 20 minutes, our orders were ready. This is NOT a dine in restaurant. It's a fairly small place. Although there's a small table with two chairs in the corner, this isn't a really place to sit and enjoy your food. You'd be more comfortable eating in your car. We grabbed our food and left, opting to eat at a nearby park. It was a beautiful spring day- a perfect setting to eat our lunch. Both of our dishes were absolutely delicious! So delicious that I forgot to snap a picture! Lol! The chicken in my brown stew chicken dish was sooo delightfully tender! The sauce was mildly sweet and flavorful. My friend thoroughly enjoyed her meal very much & vowed to come back. If you live in the Towson area and have a taste for some pretty good Caribbean food, Island Quizine will take care of you!

I never planned on going here because most Caribbean food sauce in America is too salty. Well this place was empty. There was no one at the counter to take orders. The guy appeared and seemed shocked when I ordered. He then fired the stove. I stepped out for maybe 10 minutes. I came back in and he left the counter to collect my food. I already seen one person walk in and leave quickly with food before I came back in. He looked upset when I did not tip. I have consistently had bad luck with local Caribbean spots so for a lunch deal under 13 dollars; I will see first if it looks edible, smells fresh, and tastes fit to eat before I tip in the future. As soon as I opened the container (very heavy) the sauce looked too silky and dark to be a stew. It looks like motor oil. The temperature was hot. There was no taste at all to the sauce. The rice or veggies gave an old smell. I believe it was the rice because it was lumpy when you get through past the black sauce. There were some lettuce cut strips that were translucent. The chicken was tender and did not taste old/reheated a few times. I am so disappointed. I wish I would have read the reviews. I should have went to Wawa for a sandwich, they never disappoint.
