Inside the store

It's a grocery story w a deli in the back. It's great if you miss items from the Caribbean

Mecca F.

I visit this place twice before writing a review each time I got I think almost the same thing, but I did do the goat and oxtail. Everything was literally seasoned well very spicy. The size I selected were good. It's located behind the market of the building, but the customer service was good. It's welcoming when you come in and prices is reasonable. She served up a good plate.

Oxtail
MiYong E.

Oxtail and goat curry were both tender and flavorful. Meat was well prepped and not gamey or fatty. She put some stew on the rice - not enough to be wet wet, but enough to make ya happy. Salad was fresh and well dressed. Very filling portions and a good amount of meat. Utensils and napkins are available. Truck looked very clean inside. We took our food around the corner to Kubota Garden to eat at the picnic tables.

Curry Chicken
Briana M.

On a Saturday afternoon after running a heap of errands in south Seattle I was famished! I needed sustenance of a homey sort nothing fast or fried would suffice. The thing that was on my mind and heart was OXTAIL! I'd been craving the succulent meat for a while with no hope of ever finding a restaurant near me with the option. I searched Jamaican and this restaurant came to the top of the list. Within a close proximity too! I scurried as fast as I could to the location. When I pulled into the parking lot I noticed a small mart and across from it was a modest food truck wrapped in the colors of the Caribbean and I KNEW I was in the right place. The single operator was outside of the truck erasing something from the board and my heart sank. I knew what was being removed in my soul I knew... I approached the truck and saw with a heavy heart the oxtail had been sold out. That didn't stop me I bantered with the kind lady that was attending and I ordered a plate of curry chicken with a side of Sorrel. OUTSTANDING! The flavors were rich the meat delicate and of course cooked to perfection. The fresh thyme sprigs weren't just there for show they did their job too! I know exactly where to go when I'm craving a good authentic Jamaican meal and they serve breakfast too! I'd advise to check the hours before arriving as well as maybe giving her a call. You won't regret the meal nor the sleep after it's been consumed. I will be making a steady appearance to this place albeit the price is reasonable the satisfaction is priceless. Thank you Just Like Home!

Curry chicken, with rice and peas
Travaughn C.

I Continue to get disappointed every time I go here. Yes, I did say every time because I've gone here on multiple occasions with the hope of my experience being better than the last and unfortunately it hasn't changed. The food is overpriced in relation to amount of food given. The curry flavor is good but the jerk chicken taste more like barbecue chicken with a bunch of sauce smothered over. There's very little jerk flavor in the chicken but that wasn't enough as you can see in the picture they give you a half a pound of rice and a small handful of chicken with majority of bones in it. I wish I could give a better review as a whole attempt to support black business in the south end, but this food truck needs to get better .

Oxtail Meal  &  Side of Jerk Chicken

I ordered the Oxtail meal with a side of "jerk" chicken. The "jerk" chicken was actually barbecue chicken, I remember seeing a review about the same thing but I insisted on trying it for myself. The oxtail was spicier than the jerk chicken. I threw away the chicken, the ox tail was decent and the rice I enjoyed the most.

Oxtail and Mango Juice
Aviva L.

Just picked up my food and it's amazing. I've had authentic Jamaican food for aa long as I can remember and this does not disappoint. No idea what the entitled poster Yen A. is talking about below with the 2 stars. It's their business and they have the right to have specials or certain items offered on certain days. Plenty of restaurants do that. Their portions are NOT lacking, and often certain meats DO have a lot of bones. Sounds like to me they've never had food with seasoning and culture . Will definitely be returning this hit my pregnancy craving, so glad I stumbled on it!

meal in a styrofoam container

A must try! The food is seasoned well and yummy. I didn't have to wait too long for the food after ordering. Jerk chicken is a must; a little spicy but it's good. I do have to admit there was a lot of bones in both my orders. Love me some rice and peas though. The con was thatI wasn't able to pick up my order after calling on the phone. I had to physically be there.

Curry Chicken, rice and peas and salad

Amazing! I used to order before and rhe portions were small. Now wow I have ordered twice and the portion and flavor are so delicious! Will keep ordering.

Passed this small street side food wagon on my way to Kubota Gardens. Returned after our enjoyable stroll through the gardens. What a great spot! Friendly folks and delicious food. My wife and I split a jerk chicken with beans and rice. Really yummy! And, they do a variety of fresh juices. We had ginger-pineapple and mango. Both were good but the ginger-pineapple was REALLY good! Beautiful gardens and great food! A perfect fall outing!

Oxtail

The food was okay, the oxtail dinner was very small considering the price & compared to other jamaican restaurants. I asked for extra gravy for the rice but she didn't apply it to the rice. The rice still had flavor so that's good but the oxtails were very small & didn't really have much meat, so definitely a waste on money on that. I also grab a beef patty now that was actually good and had some spice to it which i loved. I would only come back to grab a beef patty!

Goat curry

Just Like Home is just a minute up the street from us and I happened to stop by to see what this place was about. Having recently come back from a trip to Jamaica, I was ready for more Jamaican food. JLH did not disappoint! I bought the goat curry and jerk chicken to try and sample a bit of each and they were both really well made. The food truck was clean and Sophia got the food together very quickly. I've already told multiple friends to check it out and support this local food truck! I plan to go back more frequently for my jamaican food fix.

This was the only Asian grocery store that is nearby and walking distance from Pioneer Square…read more Perfect timing to grab some food from the deli counter with fresh bento's and many Korean snacks and desserts for later on. H Mart back home in Honolulu is nearby but the parking situation isn't ideal in Kakaako. I decided to shop here while staying in a hotel in Downtown Seattle, luckily it was fully equipped with a kitchenette. It's a pretty well sized store, with a good amount of inventory. A few departments that drew my attention was the deli, and the alcohol aisle. I basically had a good 15 minutes to thoroughly scope out the entire store to get a feel of what they had on special, where everything was located, and how small and condensed it is inside, safe with a security guard keeping customers and store staff safe and secure.

This is a convenient H Mart located in Downtown Seattle and one block away from Pike Place Market…read moreat the base of an office building. For a city location, it is pretty decent as it has produce and hot foods. The size and selection does pale in comparison to the suburban locations like the Federal Way and Lynnwood stores. Prices are a bit elevated due to the location and the H Mart weekly ads do not apply to this store. I prefer to shop at the other stores, but this is a convenient option if I need to pick up some Asian grocery items on the way home from work or visiting downtown.
