Amazing food! I got my favorite—Ackee and saltfish. Everything on the plate was delicious. And the people were so kind. I’m definitely coming back. (Excuse my not great photo, I was too excited to eat it.)

Absolutely amazing experience! From the moment we walked in, the service was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely personable staff who made us feel right at home. The food was incredible. The beef patties were perfectly flaky with rich, flavorful filling. The oxtail plate was tender, seasoned to perfection, and cooked just right. The brown stew chicken dinner was comforting and delicious with deep, authentic Jamaican flavor. And the juices were the perfect finishing touch. It was so refreshing. Everything tasted fresh, soulful, and made with love. This is the kind of place that keeps you coming back not just for the food, but for the experience. Highly recommend! 🇯🇲🔥

I stopped by this restaurant for lunch and everything was beyond expectations. I found it on google then called to find out if they cooked fish, I was then given the option of placing the order over the phone. From I entered into the restaurant the atmosphere was very pleasant with reggae music jamming not too loudly in the background. The workers were quite welcoming and professional. Let’s skip everything else and go straight to the food , very well presented and served on a plate with knife and fork. The brown stew fish was definitely authentic and portion was perfect, I had a take a break because I was so full before getting to my favorite part “the fish head” . I bought home made sour sop juice, it was so good I had to finish it before the meal came, then I ordered sorrel and oh my I

As my wife and I enjoy a lovely dinner under the care of our wonderful Jamaican hosts (family members of the original Mr. Coley), our Chinese ancestors pop into my head. They ask, How do you like the escoveitch snapper? "It's the best Cantonese fried fish to be found in Van Nuys," I explain in terms they're familiar with. And your wife's callaloo & saltfish?, they inquire. It's the OG and far better than Southern mean greens and bacon, but not as good as your sauteed vegetables and salty fish, of course, I reply to my beloved great grandmother. How do those fish dishes compare to the oxtail and curry goat you had last week? "We would come back again and again for Mr. Coley's oxtail and curry goat plates, though they would never compare to the Chen oxtail stew and our family's curry pork, m

I ordered the patties and curry chicken from The Original Coley’s, and everything was amazing. The food was full of flavor, fresh, and clearly made with care. The owner was really cool and welcoming, which made the experience even better. On top of that, the restaurant itself is a whole vibe with great energy, great atmosphere, and great food. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to and recommending to others.
