Such a gem. Amazing breakfast! We will be back to try the vegan lunch options. Not sure why someone thought the food was too spicy I thought it wasn’t spicy enough but with the lethal hot sauce they have it was perfect!

Today was the first time we came here in the three years of living in Kamloops and I can't believe it! This food was incredible! The service was good even though she was super busy she was quick. Great vegan and vegetarian options as well. Will definitely be back regularly.

We ordered a couple of their vegan options and they were delicious - and that jerk sauce, wow! Both dishes were very spicy, much more than either of us expected. I'm generally a fan of spicy, but this was a bit much for me. Definitely would go there again, but would ask for mild next time. Our waitress was very pleasant and friendly.

Been coming here for years. Food and service are always great and I appreciate delicious vegan options. I always get the vegan skillet or tofu kebobs. My husband loves the Jamaican Sunshine. Also ackee was great, but I think they took it off the menu. They also used to play videos of Jamaica on TV, I kind of miss that. Still best breakfast on the North Shore in my opinion.

Staff are friendly, colour decor as you’d expect to find in a Jamaican restaurant. Found a cute corner table which was perfect to see the restaurant as well as into the kitchen. Music was a great vibe, old dub mixed with newer beats and the chef was grooving to it. We had the Jerk Tofu plate, was very flavourful. Right amount of sweet and spice in the jerk. Johnny Cakes were great to mop up any sauce. Very fresh and not too heavy. Curried goat was amazing, just enough heat and great depth of flavour. Beef patty, lovely flaky pastry and packed with well seasoned lean beef. I’ll get flamed for this by the traditionalists but if there was some cheese inside too I would’ve ordered ten to go!!! Great experience, would gladly go back and try the rest!!!

The breakfast was excellent! We opted for the island spice french toast and it was exceptional. We did come on the last day before they were going on holidays, they ran out of bread, so they offered to make it with a different bread than normal. Was delicious and I can only imagine how even more delicious it would have been on the proper bread. I liked how it also came with some nice fruit :)

My girlfriend just moved into one of the apartments down the road from this place, we were thinking about what to get for lunch and decided to take a stroll and see what we find. We stumbled upon this place I was like Ive never had Jamaican food other then a beef patty... BEST DECISION WEVE EVER MADE! I got the jerk chicken sandwich, she got the pulled pork sandwich, the pulled pork was perfect it melted in your mouth and was seasoned flawlessly. The chicken was some of the best Ive ever had cooked to perfection and I wasnt expecting spice, but ooh it was and not the cheap feeling spice its like a slow burn that adds a perfect layer to your food. It got a little busy but everytime I was even thinking about needing a water refill or anything she was already on the way or offering. Took a little bit to get the food but its 100% worth it. Will be going again for an oxtail and a cheese cake next time I come down to see my girlfriend.

Amazing food, if you ve been thinking about trying this place out, just do it.

This was one of thr most disappointing experiences with food in a long time. I went in hoping for a quick Jamaican Patty and I was served a pre packaged patty king that was cut open heated and had lettuce and tomatoes. They assured me that it was street style I had a Guinness and another disappointing experience as they poured a can from the fridge. My bill came to 45$ with tip and it was basically a can of Guinness, a prepackaged patty and one old fashioned. I dont think that I would return to the place. The service was great but food was sub par

The sunshine eggs Benny is soooo good! I ve tried a lot of items from this place and it never disappoints. The owners are great and when the one is cooking the food somehow tastes even better. There s one server that isnt very good and I m not sure why. I still go obviously because of the food but I usually get take out.

Chicken curry soup was fantastic, and the jerk chicken breast was amazing. I have been crazy jerk for a while, and they definitely came through. They are incredible people.

One of the best restaurants in Kamloops! Superb Jamaican food, some with familiar Canadian twists. The Jerk Pork, chicken, oxtail, split pea soup, are all superb. I love their smoked jerked wings, and all the entrees come with Johnny cakes, similar to bannock. So good! Moreover, they have some of the best breakfast in town, try the Jamaican skillet for a nice hearty and satisfying spicy breakfast (heavy spice not burn your mouth though). I am grateful that they have been a staple in Ka.loops for years now, and hope they stay for the long haul. PS, make sure you get a ting to refresh yourself with your meal, its a lovely Jamaican grapefruit drink, the pink ting is my favorite!

This is some of the tastiest, well prepared food Ive ever had. Never had Jamaican food before, and thanks to Jamaican Kitchen I now want to try every dish I possibly can. Perfectly cooked chicken breast in my Jerk Chicken lunch, with coconut rice and peas. The vegetable ensemble could convince the pickiest of eaters to love vegetables. Why the hell are you still reading this and not going to Jamaican Kitchen to eat their amazing food for yourself?! Go on! Get out there!

I would have loved to give them 5 stars after all the wonderful things Ive heard about this restaurant, however.... We went for breakfast on a weekend. Our meals came out at different times, and, my meal was cold when it arrived. Also, the Johnny cakes that are included with my meal didnt come out with my meal. I waited for the server so I could let her know that my meal wasnt hot, unfortunately, we didnt see anyone again until some time later when my hubbys meal was served along with my johhny cakes, which thank goodness WERE awesome and piping hot btw! I didnt bother saying anything cause I was so hungry at that point so I ate the food anyways. The food tasted good, but would have tasted even better if it had been hot. We will try again though

Extremely delicious and affordable with a nice calm environment, and you can tell its a family business so you arent supporting a faceless corporation selling you soggy nuggets.

Came here for my first Jamaican food experience and wasnt disappointed. Had the chicken roti which was perfectly spiced, and was a large portion size. Service was fast and friendly and prices were decent. The only complaint I have is that there were a lot of flies that I had to keep swatting out of the way. Other than that, this experience was perfect. It was my first time eating Jamaican food and definitely not my last! Parking: Parking lot in back of restaurant.

Stopped here for lunch and wasn t disappointed. The goat roti was excellent and good portion sizes! Service was amazing as well, we will definitely stop by again when in Kamloops!

Very unfriendly and poor service, music too loud, food was just okay and cold. One of the owners greeted and served us. She was very sour and curt. She refused to turn the music down even though we were almost yelling to talk and the only ones outside. Most unpleasant experience. I would never go back!

Fantastic jerked meat of choice, nice family owned and run business which, of course, is my preferred business to support, and the service and food is off the chart awesome! My only complaint is their hours, lol, they are not open enough! Do not miss an opportunity to experience this place, well worth the time and money!

This is our favourite restaurant. We live out in Pritchard, but our trips to Kamloops are always so worth it when we visit the Jamaican Kitchen for lunch! The food is great value for money, consistently delicious, full of flavor, cooked to perfection and the portion sizes are great! The service is always fast, fantastic and friendly. There is something on the menu for everyone, including great vegan options. Highly recommend! Parking: There is a parking lot next to the restaurant.

My first time at Jamaican Kitchen thanks to my daughter s recommendation. I had lunch, chicken curry & vegetable soup and jerk chicken & bacon wrap! Best lunch or meal I ve had in a long time! Soup was fantastic, spicy, lots of veggies & the most tender chicken. The wrap was equally delicious, moist chicken, bacon & the addition of avocado was fantastic. Incredible meal & incredible chefs!

Had the jerk chicken and it was spicy, flavourful and juicy for white meat. The rice was good and the veggies were just ok. I am glad they had the veggies on the side just so it made the meal a bit healthier. My wife got the pork and that had a really hearty flavour. It was really complex in terms of flavour. The fries were fresh and tasted really good too. Kinda like New York fries style with the skin still on. The only thing is that the food took a while to come but it was worth the wait.
