I got the Jerk Chicken lunch. The jerk sauce didn't taste right. It was salty and sour. I won't be returning. $18 waste.

It's a little hole in the wall you'd miss if you blink, but they have great beef patties and jerk chicken! I believe I'd had the owner take my order several times and he's very pleasant to deal with, on the other hand the girls I've had interactions with at the front counter not so much, always a lot of attitude. I've definitely recommended them to friends who wanted jerk chicken or patties. read more

Lee's Caribbean Restaurant - Large Oxtail. Always delicious. - Caribbean Near Me - Inglewood, California

It was good, the plantains were my favorite, and the rice and peas were good with the gravy. But the lack of meat of on oxtails was almost unforgivable, I got a large ox tail and it actual oxtail part was lacking, and the ones I did get you definitely had to pick for the meat. There were two that had a decent amount of meat of them that was tender, otherwise the other ones were small and getting the meat was impossible. It came with a free patty that looked good, I gave it to my son. If he likes it maybe we could return for patties and plantains. Otherwise idk. read more

Jerk chicken taste like regular chicken no spice at all best on the plate was rice plantains waste of 17 dollars for sure very disappointed

Love it! Love it! Love it! We love this place. The shop is set up like a little Caribbean store in Jamaica. I judge all American Caribbean food by this place. The Jerk Chicken and Oxtails Dinners are our go to dishes. My bother and sister in-law moved to Houston and they always ask that we stop and bring them plates when we come. They were so helpful they helped me pack the dishes to go. I am so happy they are still hangin' in there! You need to stop in and try them cause the SOFI expansion is eventually going to affect them! read more

The oxtails were soo tender you can eat with no teeth! LOL, but they run out of pattys fast so be prepared to miss out on those. But I have to agree they don't use enough seasoning, and I barely use seasonings, so for me to say it means sprinkle some damn salt on the food. It has the heavy earthy seasoning, but generally my nose roses when I eat black pepper or med taco sauce but didn't run with this. and I asked for wet rice i like the additional gravy on mine but they forgot sadface! Its kinda scary looking in the shopping center at night, but everyone hanging around the other stores were friendly so it eased my mind. If in neighborhood would I stop in again probably if for no other reason a beef an/or chicken patty and a Ting drink, but I would travel from LB there for food and I will travel for food!!

I came in wanting to try the stew fish but since that wasn't available I went to another favorite. When I opened my container I thought that it wasn't a lot of food but by time I finished it was more than enough. When I tell you that salt fish and Ackee was bursting with flavor, literally it goes right in 'the best I've ever had' category.' Same for the Callaloo. And the ground food was on that melt in your mouth tip . The festival was so absolutely delicious, that I had to fight the fat girl in me not to get some to go. Just delightful dining on a chill Sunday Afternoon. Definitely will be back. read more

Looking from the outside this place is a bit sketchy. I'm not going to lie I was nervous about getting out. The service was good and the food was very authentic. The jerk chicken was a little spicy for me but very good. You know it was spicy, if I said it was spicy, because I love me some spicy food. read more

Lee's Caribbean Restaurant - Brown Stew Chicken Lunch with rice/beans, and plantains! Child this is enough for lunch and dinner - Caribbean Near Me - Inglewood, California

Buddy and I came here on our trip to SoFi stadium. We both enjoyed it so much we made it a two day lunch spot. Even with an event going on at SoFi we had issue issues with parking or wait time. There was a couple folks inside or taking orders to go but never felt crammed. My only issue inside would be that it felt too warm for me personally. The first day we just got the meat pies. One of each and both loved them. I personally enjoyed the little spice of the beef one more than the more curry kind of flavor from the chicken. But I ordered both on day two so both are def good! I also ordered some plantains and festival. I've had festival once in Jamaica and loved it, the places I've been to sense then have not been the same. Lees was hands down the closest. I'd order all of this again if I make my way back to them/SoFi stadium. The price was four meat pies, plantains,festival and two waters and a little tip was under $30 which felt like a solid amount of food for the price. Only improvements I'd say would make it better would be a cooler/less stuffy dining area. read more

10.16.22 I like Jamaican food and this place has it . I had the chicken curry because the jerk chicken is too hot for me . Very clean and plenty of parking . A nice bar you can sit on high stools to eat at . NOT CHEAP but then Jamaican and Soul food never are . Give them a try, they claim a lunch special but charged me full dinner price at mid day so maybe you have to ask for it . Jamaican beer and other cool not cold drinks are available . -Nate read more

I'm so happy there is another family operated restaurant that has survived COVID. I went to Lee's after visiting another local establishment, after craving Caribbean food for weeks. This restaurant didn't cut it for me. I appreciate them serving lunch until 4pm, I was able to get a small oxtail plate and it was a generous amount of food. That's 1 star. I didn't have to wait long at all for my food, maybe 5 minutes that's 1 star. The oxtails were the most TENDER oxtails I've ever had at a restaurant ever 1 star. Now...There just wasn't enough seasoning for me...no salt in anything, no taste of browning or herbs, the meat, the rice, the cabbage....and the curry chicken pattie....just bland. I wanted to love this place. Hopefully it was just an off day for them. read more

The food was fresh and hot!! I was definitely not disappointed. Usually when I order vegetables from Caribbean restaurants the cabbage is bland no flavor but theirs was on point delicious and spicy!! I ordered the curry goat lunch..It's a must try!! read more

First of all, everyone has an attitude when you walk in. This is normally something that ticks me off but when dealing with Jamaican cuisine, that is the ultimate sign of scrumptious food. 3 Signs you're about to be blown away when you go to a restaurant: 1. If the Seats look like an absolute war zone. 2. If the Hostess/Host has an attitude like they are mad you even walked in. 3. If there's a lot of old people in the restaurant, the food is consistently bussing because older folks don't really like change so they tend to stick to a certain place once they find out the food is good. They are doing some remodeling right now so the layout isn't too much to ride home about but it never has been a showstopper of a building. Very dark colors, there's like a haunted gum ball machine in the corner, old paint on the windows is chipping away, and the fridge desperately needs an upgrade because it's for sure older than me & I'm 21. Let's talk about that plate though. I'm an oxtail fanatic so of course I ordered the large. It comes with festival bread, cabbage, rice and peas, plantains, and the star of the show, Oxtails. I'd like to take a minute and point out how good the festival bread is because I had it at a place called Cecilia's Carribean Cuisine one time and I was genuinely concerned as to why they were allowed to serve such an atrocity. THIS is how festival is done. Crunchy and deep fried on the outside, soft and warm on the inside, sweet but not too much sugar. The cabbage was not over cooked and had a very fresh texture but a 'braised over night' taste with this umami flavor to it. Rice & Peas were the perfect bed to accompany the oxtails and that pool of gravy spooned over the rice will have your eyes rolling back. No exaggeration, that beef was serious business. I hear the wagyu and filet mignon talks but I've had them both and honestly, I feel like the price of the meat plays too much of a factor in the preparation. It seems like whenever a cut is more expensive, the chef gives less effort to detail. I've had filets burned, wagyu with no salt, tough sirloins, etc. - At this point, give me a braised oxtail over all that fancy shit any day. I would have given 5 stars but they forgot my plantains. Super good food though, if you're in the area try it out. It's right across from the SoFi stadium. read more

The veritable and venerated Temple of Curry Goat. There is no other. Also the best jerk chicken I've EVER had anywhere, including in the Caribbean itself. I don't go near LAX or the SoFi stadium without stopping at Lee's. read more

This place have authentic Jamaican food. I usually get the brown stewed chicken with rice and peas cabbage. Plaintains. So delish. The best so far. And the portions are ok but the price has increased significantly. The jerk chicken is good but too hot for me that isi will continue to go here until they are no more. read more

So far my favorite beef patties in LA. Born to Jamaican parents, raised in NYC and grew up eating great patties...so now in Palm Springs. I've been on a mission to try them all. I'm hooked on the flaky perfect crust, the kind that will mess up your car but that's good and filled nicely with flavorful meat that's not filled with breading. The real deal. I was less impressed with the jerk chicken unfortunately- tasted like baked chicken with jerk sauce tossed on. I missed that authentic wood fired smoky flavor. read more

Been coming here for over 10yrs this review is long over due!!! Oxtails, Jerk chicken, stew chicken rice peas, cabbage, festival bread, pineapple ginger homemade and finally that rum cake always delicious me & my families fav. Yummy read more

If I could give zero stars I would. This establishment is disgusting. The food contain fats snd oils that were no longer fresh which gave it an unpleasant smell. I also found out there's an infestation of rats in this plaza I asked nicely for a refund after letting the gentleman know that this indeed is not jerk chicken. Instead the man curse me out telling me this is how you prepare jerk. Mister, have you gone mad, I understand you are in a predominantly African American neighborhood and you can throw black pepper and convince them this is jerk, not their fault. For a native Caribbean, Flatbush, Brooklyn raised individual please STOP perpetuating a bloody fraud! Furthermore what happen to customer service. For all of your customers who frequents this establishment and potential customers, if you want real Caribbean food, please visit The Jerk Spot in Culver City and Wi Jammin for curry goat etc. and you will understand. Just plain disgusting, the chicken still had large feathers on it and it smelled really bad. Please save your time and money. read more

I was so skeptical of this place because of the most recent reviews. I thought to myself "forget these damn reviews man I need some oxtail with rice & peas!" It was Labor Day and I didn't feel like driving all over Inglewood for food. My stomach was screaming for nourishment. The lot itself is questionable but inside is fine. I ordered the Oxtail Dinner which was $18 in total with tax (typical cost). The plantain was okayyyyy, a smidge too mushy for my liking. When I get Oxtail from other surrounding places (like little kingstons on slauson) the oxtail meat literally slides off the bone. These oxtails were absolutely delicious they just weren't as tender as I am use to. The rice was good and the cabbage was okay. Its a decent place to get Jamaican food! I would go back if I ever get the crazing again. Would it be my first choice? No, but I still would go back read more

So, in major need of some veggies I decided to stop by Lee's as I was in the area getting delicious keto cake from Sweet Red Peach next door. I've been here a few times, usually for the hit or miss ox tails dinner. The oxtail portions are always minimal but with the sides of rice and Peas and plantain is never an issue. Service will s always meh. Today I order a small side of cabbage. I thought the price seemed a bit high but figured it would be a hefty amount of cabbage. WRONG. With the zero flavor and a very small order, I hardly think $6 is reasonable for what I received. See photos. read more

I placed a pick up order for this location. I showed up a bit early and even though the sign on the door said open the door was locked with a metal gate. There were people loitering around the sidewalk in front and the car I parked next to was dealing cannabis out of the trunk! I tried calling after I left and someone answered. I heard noises like a kitchen in the background like it was busy but was difficult for me to reconcile the sound of an active restaurant to what I saw - an empty restaurant with chairs stacked on tables. According to the lady on the phone they had another door but it wasn't very obvious to me where this other door was located. With the sketchy men hanging around I didn't feel safe to try further investigation. read more

Good alternative for local Jamaican Food. All the items and choices on the menu are good, Patties, Oxtails are good and serving is plentiful

I came on sunday 25 mins before they closed ask what they had left. I order the dinner oxtail plate and side of jerkey chicken. They extremely shorted me on oxails for it to be $ 16.50 and my food was luke warm. Then my jerkey chicken was room temp cold like it had been sitting all day. I paid $27.00 for a disappoint. The other guest were complaining to that order before or after me. ** the girl that works the front was nice and try to help. I eat Jamaican food all the time... I wouldnt suggest this place if it was the last place on earth to eat Honselty !!! read more
