The peas and rice are perfect, and the jalapeño mac and cheese is unreal. Everything tastes homemade, full of flavor, and cooked with care. I honestly have to come here at least once a week now. If you have not tried Ya Mon yet, go. Order the oxtail, get the peas and rice, add the jalapeño mac and cheese, and thank me later. This place is easily 5 stars.

Casual restaurant that wasn't busy on a Saturday lunch - picked up an oxtail plate and island breeze plate. Got regular rice, cabbage, fried rice, and collards as sides. Additionally added plantains and mac n cheese. Oxtails were tender and tasty. Felt like it could have had a stronger flavor though. Island breeze chicken was very flavorful, sweet and spicy, a little too much sauce for me. Enjoyed all the sides! Would definitely return to try other dishes.

The variety of proteins, vegetables and flavors keeps the meals interesting. The food has always been fresh and hot. If they don't say anything when you choose an item, ASK if it is hot or sweet. They have always given an accurate answer/warning. If that does not convince you, ASK for a sample, they are very free with tastes. There is no excuse for getting something you don't like. While portion size has not changed, the prices have increased modestly (where haven't they?) but not to the level of gouging like so many other places.

Kool Runnings in Norcross, GA has become my husband and I ultimate Caribbean haven. As repeat…read morecustomers with Haitian and Jamaican heritage, we always make it a point to swing by for our fix of homestyle Caribbean comfort food--and it never fails to deliver. Our top picks are the stewed salmon and jerk salmon. The stewed salmon provides deep, comforting flavors while the jerk salmon shines with its bold spice blend. Paired with generous sides of rice and peas, collard greens, and that perfectly homemade Sorrel, the flavors and ingredients blend in a way that truly lets food be thy medicine. Beyond the delicious food, the vibe at Kool Runnings is unbeatable. The island rhythms playing in the background create a relaxed atmosphere that invites you to stay awhile. And the personal touches from Gail and Philip--filled with warm hugs and genuine Caribbean love--make every visit feel like a family reunion. For anyone craving hearty, authentic Caribbean cooking with a side of heartfelt hospitality, Kool Runnings is an absolute must-visit.

I drove a long way to visit this restaurant today, only to realize it wasn't actually my first time…read morehere. I remembered that one of my cousins had brought me here before for food, so I was expecting a decent experience. Unfortunately, today's visit was absolutely disappointing. I placed an order for oxtails, but they were out of mac & cheese, collard greens, and cabbage. The employee also mentioned they only had one dumpling left. What I don't understand is how a restaurant can be out of multiple sides that are supposed to come with the meal, yet still charge full price. The meal alone was $35. My son wanted additional items, so I still ordered food for him, but because the side options were so limited, I decided not to order anything for myself. In total, I ended up spending around $45, and the whole experience was just very disappointing. I really could've just bought the ingredients and made the meal myself, but I've been busy working in the house and handling a few projects, and before I realized it, the day had already gotten late. That's the main reason I decided to stop and buy food instead. Honestly, I guarantee I wouldn't have spent nearly as much making the meal myself as I ended up spending purchasing it there. To make matters worse, the employee serving us came across very nonchalant and unconcerned, which only added to the frustration. Overall, this is not a place I see myself visiting again anytime soon, if ever.

Parking was easy in their shared lot of the strip mall and there was lots of open space in the restaurant. Our server was super paient with us as some of our party arrived later and we took our time to order, just catching up on our lives. There were so many good options on the menu, filled with Cuban classics, and a few unexpected items such as a caprese salad. I ended up going with the churrasco steak, which was at a great price point. I got it medium rare and it came out a short time later perfectly cooked. The skirt steak was nice and chewy and the chimichurri sauce it came with was amazing! So flavorful, but light. The server was able to spit the check by couple with ease!

I've had the salmon cake , the oxtails, the wings , the burgers and the shrimp and I can't wait to try more of the menu. The restaurant is open daily and you can order great Caribbean food for dine in or to go. They even are on apps like door dash but the vibe is so much better inside . They also have an outdoor patio if you don't want to sit inside Some nights they have special events and stay open late for a more party vibe. The staff is great. They make you feel special as a customer and encourage you to be a repeat guest. This is what I've been missing in the Gwinnett area and I'm so glad I found it . You have to check this place out !

I got there kind of late (around 1pm) so most things were sold out. I ended up getting the Oxtail Plate. They were running low on oxtail too so they were kind enough to add some BBQ chicken! The oxtail was very tender and well seasoned. The BBQ chicken they also included was nice and juicy, as well as very flavorful. I don't think I've had much rice and peas before but it was a very tasty base for the meal - it'll fill you up! The mac n' cheese they give on the side was also seasoned pretty well. They also give you some fried plantains which is one of my favorite sides. Honestly - everything was just very flavorful, take my word for it. For $20 they give you a good amount of food - I was pretty full by the end (and I can eat a lot). The two ladies working the truck were also super sweet and gracious. They were a bit busy because there were quite a few people ordering and it was just the two of them, so just make sure you clear up some time because they make it fresh and it's popular! Next time, I'm gonna try their Jollof Rice Plate!
