Customer Reviews
It's a food truck so take your order to the beach or something. Now, the food is absolutely delicious, ample spice as you would expect and desire from real Jamaican food and be prepared for large portions! I had the ribs and my wife had the Jerk fish, both were excellent, all the sides we had were great and the cornbread is to die for. Can't wait to try the Oxtail next time I'm hungry again. Please consider this on your trip as you will not be disappointed.
Food was mid. My friends and I ordered the Jerk Ono , Cornbread sliders, oxtail and patties. Ono tasted like it was sweet chili sauce. Oxtail was a soup which is not specified as such on the menu and very bland. As a Jamaican this was very disappointing. Flavours were very off and muted . Didn’t taste like the food I grew up with. Cornbread was very sweet. Patties were ok .
Great Jamaican food in the heart of Kona, we took ours to go and ate at a beach park! So great to have found this place, flavor was perfect and the portions large!
Found this through goggle review and was not disappointed. The owner was very nice. Like another reviewer noted, this is strictly regarding the food, not the ambiance. This is a food truck parked at a gas station (kind of cool actually. Saying we ate great Jamaican food in Hawaii at a food truck parked at a gas station... Who would've thought😁). Came here with the family (10 of us) and it was delicious! The owner put out a collapsible table and chairs under a mesh canopy. We had the catfish, brisket, oxtail, pulled pork, bacon wrapped ribs, and jerk chicken. Also got a few of the Jamaican beef patties. These were a little different from the ones I remember eating in NYC, but still enjoyed this version. The owner made everything to order and could go light or heavy on the spice, which w
Delicious and flavorful food! His menu had everything for our group which included us vegans. Our group had the ono plate and the corn bread sliders, quinoa salad, fried plantains and curried potatoes. We had driven by several times during our stay. So glad we stopped by here before we flew home. Fish is doing what he loves. Please stop by and try it out! Mahalo for your hospitality and food. We appreciate you! 🙏
