Lamb chops over rice with potatoes and mac
Kenny W.

I had this place last week. I was stunned by the delicious flavors. I had the lamb chops, mash potatoes, and mac n cheese. Everything was so well seasoned and packed with all kinds of love. I recommend everyone try this place. Lots of great food, and really cool vibes.

Cabbage
Sherryl J.

Pasta was creamy, spicy and perfectly cooked. The jerk drummettes were a tad bit tough. The cabbage was soggy and salty. I ordered Grub Hub delivery. The food was delivered by a guy on a bicycle. That my have affected the quantity. I wish I had experienced this food in the restaurant, so I could feel the vibe of the place and get entree suggestions.

First time trying Jerk Chicken LA and I'm honestly confused.... Ima just say yall own me another plate 5.8/10

I saw the plates online and they looked nicely plated, sauced up, everything looking professional. That's literally what made me pull up and spend my money. But the plate I actually got? Man... this was not it. Presentation alone was rough. It didn't even look appetizing when I opened it. And when food doesn't look good to the eye, nine times out of ten it's not hitting the tongue either. Taste-wise I'm giving it a 5.8/10 at best. The cabbage was the only thing that was decent. For my first experience, this was disappointing because the food online looked way better than what was served. So look... Jerk Chicken LA, I'm keeping it real: Y'all owe me another plate. Let me run it back so I can see what the hype is actually about and give a fair review Because right now the marketing and the reality are two completely different plates

Jerk Rasta Pasta and Lamb Chops Dinner with wing dinner

The food is trash. It used to be good when they had the other chef. But of course if you don't know authentic Jamaican food then you will say this food is amazing. Boyfriend tested positive for Salmonella after eating here one night. The chef they have now is inconsistent. I ordered fried chicken they give me jerk wings. Literally wings marinated in a jerk sauce. The cabbage was super spicy. It tasted like a scotch bonnet. The Mac and cheese only Mac lol. The rice mushy overly cooked. I ordered a lamb chop dinner. Lamp chops marinated in jerk sauce and the lamb was tough. The yams were cut up drenched in yam juice. Straight sweet potatoes no yams iykyk. I walked in on a Friday night it was dead! The manager was outside chatting with a customer so I stood at the bar while the waitress sat on her phone. She didn't acknowledge me once. I got help when the manager walked in from her conversation to help me. If you're looking for authentic food there's so many places Tevs kitchen, Boukas, Country Style Jamaican restaurant, Wah Gwaan Jamaican Kitchen & Bar and Sattdown Jamaican restaurant , I'm a food blogger I leave real reviews for the community. The customer service is garbage. You google the business it has about 5 different numbers attached all not in service. Google the name it takes you to their old food truck location just a hot mess then want to charge $30 plus a plate!! I love quality food! This place needs to revamp, and hire a new chef! This is not authentic Jamaican food!

I'm so happy to be back eating with jerk kitchen again. I got the Oxtail Rasta Pasta, it was delicious. Everyone working smiled at me and I had great service when getting my food. I'll be back soon

I must admit that this review is long overdue!…read more I have dined here at least 3 times with my latest at the chef's counter on a Friday evening and was the perfect date night spot. I lucked out with reservations on OpenTable last minute when they released a bunch of counter availability. Which is crazy since it's so hard to get a reservation that isn't at 9:45pm. My only concern was that we might be seated in front of the fire stove where the majority of the cooking is done because it can get hot and coupled with the the summer weather, I was worried about sweating lol. Luckily, we were seated at the opposite end and had the best view and enjoyed watching the chefs prep our meal. They don't serve cocktails here, just wine, and we started with two glasses of bubbly, which were delicious! However, when we tried to transition to the other wines available by the glass, none of them tasted that great and almost tasted too acidic or maybe had too many tanins for my liking. As a result, we reverted back to the sparkling wine. However, I do want to take a moment to express how amazing our server was because he was kind enough to let us sample all the reds by the glass before we committed to a glass. Also, I appreciated that he didn't chastise us when we didn't end up liking any of them. However, I absolutely love the food here! The one thing that you must get is the CORNBREAD! It's nothing like you've ever had before and is their signature dish. It's comforting, it's buttery and feels like home. I've also gotten the Pork and Green Chili Stew which is amazing (think Chile Verde). I've also tried their Ribeye, and for the price, I'm not sure that it's my favorite item on the menu. For my most recent visit, we ordered the following: Bluefin Tuna Toast - This was light and refreshing, but also filling since it sits on a slice of bread. This was enjoyable but I preferred the Baby Albacore. Baby Albacore - This is such a small dish and I think it only has six slices of fish, but it has so much depth of flavor and so much texture with the crispy shallots that we were tempted to order another one! This is a beautifully executed dish. And the best part was that we got to watch it being prepared in front of us. Mushroom Crusted Pork Chop - I had been reading that this was such an amazing dish, so I made sure to try it this time around! It did not disappoint! It was incredibly flavorful and rich. My boyfriend, who is not a fan of pork really enjoyed this dish. Sliced market tomatoes - this is a no-frills side dish, but felt that this was a perfect balance as something fresh and light against the rich and fattiness of the pork chop. I was worried that this would not be enough food for the two of us since I have a big appetite, but suffice to say I was very satisfied! The service is here is outstanding! I wish I got the name of my server, but he reminded me of Teddy Swims! He was attentive, friendly, and very accommodating! It was the best service I've had in a while! One last thing, I didn't try any desserts this time around, but I still very fondly remember the passionfruit icebox cake... Please bring that back!!!

Went to Dunsmoor for date night and managed to snag a reservation right when they opened, so we…read morewere seated almost immediately. There was already a line forming along the side of the restaurant when we got there, which I assume was for walk-ins or waitlisted guests, it looked like they were getting seated fairly quickly too. We sat at the high-top counter right in front of the open fire where they cook the steaks, fish, etc. It was actually a really fun experience getting to watch the chefs prepare and plate everything, and seeing how the kitchen operates. It reminded me of The Bear, with someone calling out orders and everyone working together to get the dishes out. The only downside is that it gets REALLY hot sitting there, but they do warn you about that when making the reservation, so we knew what we were getting into! As for the food, our favorites were the cornbread, albacore, and the pork chile stew with the house made tortillas. We also liked the sticky pudding but as it is a bit sweet already, I would opt out of the extra syrup they add on it in front of you. Service was great too, everyone was super attentive. I love that the staff's uniform seemed to be graphic tees of their choosing. Such a fun little detail that added to the restaurant's personality. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner and the experience, especially getting a front-row seat to all the kitchen action but personally didn't think it lived up to all the hype.

I've never had anything like it! so tart, refreshing, savory and omg i'm drooling just thinking about it. the drinks were also super refreshing! honestly everything we got here was amazing so you can't do any wrong. can't wait to go back and try everything else!

Usually not a fan of writing negative reviews, but I think this one warrants an honest review and…read morehopefully gives others and, more importantly, the restaurant perspective on a pretty awful dinner and hopefully make improvements. 1. The steak was cooked really poorly and was very very chewy. Sauce was nearly inedible. We each took one bite and could not eat any more of it. First time ever leaving a steak dish alone, ever. I like the idea of a wasabi infused au poivre sauce but it was extra bitter and had a funky sour taste to it. 2. Kimchi was WAY too salty. I understand kimchi is salted during brining, but we each had one piece and couldn't eat any more. I lean towards a saltier palate but I just couldn't eat more. 3. The chicken wings tasted fine, but they weren't even tossed with the sauce completely. Some pieces had only a few drops of sauce. None were fully coated. I'm not sure if that's intentional, but I wanted to point it out. 4. Salad was served in a full bowl and we were instructed to toss the salad ourselves. Either the salad should be tossed with the dressing or we should have a bigger bowl? This might just sound nit-picky, so I'll just leave it at that. 5. We ordered one of everything on the late night menu, and we were told that the tuna was sold out. No problem. When the food came out, we had 2 orders of the wings come out. We only ordered one. When we asked, we found out that the server mistakenly put one order of the wings and one order of the wings combo. Honest mistake, no problem. We had everything come out except the kimchi pancake, and when we asked about it, we were told, "oh, that must be sold out too then." Maybe the kitchen had an off night? I even thought possibly it was because we went too late? But we arrived at the restaurant just past 12 and restaurant closes at 2am on a Saturday, and we didn't receive any notice of a last call in the kitchen, so I don't think that was the issue. Ambiance was fine, server was kind - just hard to get past the food. I replied to an email from the restaurant asking about our dining experience with the above mentioned and got zero response, so now I feel like this just needs to be shared to the public. Maybe the generic automated email is also telling to the laziness of the food. I'm sure their actual dinner menu is better, but what's the point if the food isn't consistent across the board? Maybe don't do the late night menu if it's going to be regarded as unimportant. Again, this is my one experience there from just the late night menu. Not sure if i want to give it another try for a while, but one bad experience usually carries more weight than good ones, unfortunately. Lastly, for a "no tipping" policy where they enforce a 20% fee to cover their operations, I should expect much better from the restaurant. Very, very disappointing. Was really hopeful for this restaurant, but here we are. Hope they do better moving forward.

The service was top notch from the private resturant entrance, the hosts, the beverage director to our wonderful server. The afternoon tea service is by far my favorite out of the few places I have been to. The food itself was well presented and tasted amazing! Beautiful mini edible flowers and attention to detail. The ability to smell the teas before you pick and the accommodations of dietary restrictions we had in our group. I got the herbal butterfly tea flower, they also give you warm honey so it was easier to pour into your tea. The best thing I ate was the green flower tartette made with vegetarian pate and the cucumber sandwich that had individual strips of cucumber on toasted bread. The salmon finger sandwich that was perfectly prepared. There were additional savory items were on top on the tower, sandwiches on the second tier and lastly the desserts. The ube eclair was gorgeous and delicious. Everything tasted amazing. They also have valet or you can park at the lot near by for free for the first 2 hours and $3 and hour thereafter.

This time, we decided to try the Chinatown location since the traffic going toward Pasadena looked terrible. This location is pretty small and doesn't really seem set up for dining in. It feels more takeout-focused, although they do have some tables outside so we sat there. They didn't have the Mild+ spice level that the Pasadena location offers so I ordered two Mild and one Medium chicken tenders. I also got a side of collard greens after seeing several reviews recommending them. I felt like the spice level was higher at this location than at the Pasadena one. Even the Mild was definitely spicier than I remembered! It still had really good flavor, though. I also really enjoyed the collard greens and was glad I decided to try them. I'm not sure if it's just this location or if all of their locations do this now but they also gave us bottled water for free, which was nice. One thing I really liked about the Chinatown location was the parking. There's a huge parking lot across the street so finding a spot was easy. I prefer the Pasadena location for dining in but its parking lot is very small and finding a spot can be difficult. We'll definitely go back to Howlin' Ray's when we visit LA again next spring. We just haven't decided which location we'll choose next time!
