A small, simple spot that has very good jerk chicken and rice and peas. Meat was tender, rice was soft and delicious. Reasonably priced.

Absolutely the best jerk chicken in the GTA! This spot is hands-down a 5-star experience from start to finish. The jerk chicken is perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and bursting with authentic flavors that hit just right. Every bite has that smoky, spicy kick that makes it stand out from any other jerk spot around. The portions are generous, the sides are fresh and flavorful, and the service is warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home. You can tell they take pride in every plate. If you’re craving jerk chicken that’s truly top-tier, this is the place to go. I’ll be coming back again and again—highly recommend!

Having grown up in the restaurant business, I'm a little more critical. But Jerk King has delicious food. It is priced right (economical) and these days everyone is taking their orders home/out to save money. The portions are also good, and one meal ends up being two for me. Caribbean food tastes just as good, if not better the next day!

this food court location has a lotto be proud of . friendly and attentive i think they make my favourite meat patties in town. Delicious crisp, flakey yellow crust generously filled with well balanced spices and beef. I take one star away for the overly spiced Jerk Chicken. No not the jerk spice. A little heavy on the nutmeg. Great well cooked portions of chicken on just the right amount of rice to balance the jerk. i have a personal bias : more beans in the rice please, not a criticism. i’m being greedy. my favourite jerk in the city , favourite patty, favourite location . i hope to be back soon.

I used to come here so often for their jerk chicken cause the taste is so authentic, not anymore… The taste of the jerk chicken has changed, and it’s not amazing like it used to be. Ok food. Good size for the price. But I will not come back again. Thanks 🙏

Ordered ahead of time, something I recommend to everyone nowadays. Oh man, does this take me back to the nostalgic days! The chicken was cooked to perfection, oozing out juices. The sauce that coated the rice was super flavorful. Very, very filling, and I only got the small version! Can't go wrong here. If you want some good jerk chicken, this place will not disappoint.

This tiny lunchtime location is primarily for takeout but they do have a few seats. I stopped in and tried the oxtail with rice and beans (medium size) which came with a side of coleslaw. It looked quite tasty but this was a bit deceiving because both the oxtail and rice were quite bland, which was disappointing. It was also overpriced for what you get and so I'd have to say I'll be giving this place a miss in future.

the food in the Annex loaction is very good but the coleslaw dressing is too thick & goopy. they dont answer the phone at this location - so uncool. the white rice was mush. the rice & peas and stew chicken were too salty. they forgot to give the slaw so the meal was ruined

Todays experience tipped the scale for me today. I won t be returning. It s the service. And the attitude. After accepting they didn t have what I was coming for and patiently waiting 20 minutes for things to be ready everything I normally got, I didn t get. Everything I asked for, I was told no. What I did get though, was a healthy serving of attitude. I won t be back.

The only reason Im giving it a second star is because the jerk chicken I get is ok. What I can longer accept is the poor service and sour face that doesnt greet you or offer to take your order. I have never experienced such apathy and disregard for patrons.

They are calling this jerk chicken? This feels more like bbq chicken. Food was okay and filling but nothing special. Wouldn t go out of my way to order from here. There are better jerk chicken places in the area.

December 22, 2023

The people who work at the one on Young are so rude and disrespectful they see you waiting in the back and don t come to serve you on many instances I waited more then ten min for someone to come at a take out restaurant and they say they where busy meanwhile they are doing nothing in the back and you can see it. The food is good but the customer service is bad I drive quite a awhile to get the food so once you there it s hard to leav the place is also very clean but the people are not customer friendly.

Ive been to this location multiple times and so far, Ive had their boneless jerk chicken, oxtail, coleslaw, and cassava cake. Their pricing is a bit high imo but it is quite filling because of the rice and peas. But I do keep coming back for their gravy because not a lot of place in the area add a generous serving of gravy (I probably wont be coming here if they were to charge extra for it though). Another thing I like about this place is their coleslaw. Im a big fan of the creamy coleslaw and I prefer it over the vinegar-y one so this place hits the spot. And also compliments the dish. Boneless chicken Ive found that their chicken is a bit dry for my liking. Oxtail I love the meat, but it is a bit expensive considering how many bones there are. Cassava cake Ive never had a cassava cake before so I had no idea what I was getting, but it was much denser than I expected. It was like a dense custard cake and I liked how it wasnt too sweet. But $6 feels a bit pricey imo. Their service is usually not that great with the exception of today. Hazel was very nice and patient with my order, and that was part of the reason why I decided to finally leave a review.

This place has good tasting food if youre into spices, but has become a little pricey within the last few months, especially if you want to order via Uber Eats and have no other proper Caribbean options near you. I have watched their price for a small box of jerk chicken meal go up by 0.50-0.60 once again in less than a year from 9.00 to 9.50 to now 10.16. Its crazy. This all within less than a year, once again. Kind of disappointing.

December 22, 2023

I ve had multiple experiences at this location and it s terrible every single time. Their phone number is never available, probably it s a wrong one and they don t bother to change it. It s mentioned that their store closes at 11pm, upon arriving the server mentioned that they close at 10pm. Can you guys put one single effort in changing your incorrect details. Never sends coleslaw on Uber, despite paying for it, despite writing notes. 100% won t recommend .

Horrible horrible experience ordering online. Customer service is so abysmally low and though the food is alright its really not enough to make me order from them, even when I crave jerk chicken and no other places are open. Id rather buy from somewhere I know I wont have to wait over an hour to receive my food from online ordering apps. Only go here if you are at the storefront.

I really enjoy their bbq chicken, fried chicken and oxtail. Rice is nice and fluffy but the star of the show has to be the coleslaw. Haven t really tried other options as I tend to stick to what I like. Plantains are a hit or miss, sometimes they are nice and ripe and others they are too hard. This place definitely has more potential however they need more friendlier staff and better quality Patty. Other than that it s decent.

Wow 16.99 for a chicken roti. Very over priced- filled the roti with chickpea/ Channa, 3 large peices of potatoe and topped it with 2 small chunks of chicken. Definitely not worth the price. Food

★★★
December 22, 2022

The curry goat is very delicious however, I was at the store on Wednesday, December 22 at about 9:30pm to buy some food after a long day of work. I was disappointed that I paid $18 for rice & peas, gravy and BONES! There was hardly any meat in my order and the few pieces of meat were the rubbery part of the goat that you cannot chew on. I found this very upsetting and considering the young lady that served me weighted the goat meat that she sold me and it was ALL BONES. I cannot tell you how hungry I was and then disappointed to learn that I only bought rice and bones - VERY, VERY UPSETTING!!! Again, the food was very tasty but was unable to enjoy it. Also, this was my first time at Jerk King, not the best first impression and would like a refund or a proper meal for the $18 that I paid.

The spicy gravy is unreal. Rice is fresh. Best coleslaw Ive ever had- super creamy and offsets the spice really well. Hot sauce a nice addition of you want to take it up a knotch. I ask for potatoes as an addition, which are perfectly cooked and super tasty. And guess what....open until 3am?! Just take all my money.

The other two locations serve better food. The food was cold, stale, bland and tasted burnt! Really disappointing Better off going to allwyns , its in the same building

Beyond disappointing for the amount I spent on the oxtail. Was hoping the taste would accommodate, and it did not. I guess I can t expect much because the chain is inauthentic.

December 22, 2022

I just ordered a large oxtail and they gave me this small container with legit 6 little pieces of oxtail and a whole bunch of bones .. don t even bother buying food here, biggest waste of $20.00 I ve ever spent .. you pretty much paying 20$ for rice .. biggest joke ever

December 22, 2022

Paid $34 for a curry chicken roti and a large boneless chicken and rice. Got bone in chicken. They ripped me off. Also the lunch time service is extremely slow. One customer every 4-5 minutes.

I went for boneless curry chicken large as thats the only size they were offering. I was disgusted with the amount they were serving for the price. I have ate here in the past and they gave a decent amount but apparently that has changed. They were charging $13.26 for a large before tax. As they lady was preparing my order she was weighting it to make sure they werent over serving (which I can understand to a point). Just as they were done weighting it and adding the rice I noticed there was like no meat. You are getting a small portion at best for the large price. I will not be returning.

Some of the best bbq jerk chicken and peas and rice in North York. The portion sizes are great, large jerk chicken has 5 pieces of chicken. I would give them 5 out of 5 but the coleslaw is bad and the curry wraps are a little bitter.

My past visits were excellent, but this last time the food was so salt that I could not enjoy it. Four other people that had the Jerk Chicken were also shocked at the salt taste. Not sure if I will give them another chance. The other good Jerk chicken places are in Scarborough.

The worst beef patty ive ever tasted. Not only did they charge 7 dollars for 2 patties, but they were so stale and hard that they were not edible. There is no way they were fresh and I went around lunch time. Very dissapponted. Please take more consideration in what you feed your customers. I try to support small businesses but this is not acceptable.

The prices have hiked and the quantity of the food we use to get has decreased alarmingly after this place has a new owner. Before the carrabian women use to serve she was super nice,joyful and generous. I used to love going there but now the servers are very very rude and they are just sitting their to make as much as profit possible they dont care about customer relations or if the customers are satisfied with the services or not. Never going back their again in my life.

I love Jerk King food...the best in Toronto in my opinion, but this location was a bit disappointing. I usually dont make comments about Restaurants, but l am getting tired of badly managed black restaurants in Toronto. I got the small veggies and there was no squash in it... but other locations has squash with the small veggies...so, l asked why there was no squash and she used the pandemic COVID-19 as an excuse... seriously? So, l asked...how come they have squash at other locations? And then the Asian lady (cashier) rudely said...talk to the Boss.

I give this place a solid 3. I took a quick look at the other reviews and it seems over all I had a relatively positive experience. I ordered a large jerk chicken with rice. First, the pros. The service was quite good. The lady at the cash was quite nice. The portions were very generous (with caveats ... see cons), and overall I think I got good value for money. The chicken and rice were cooked well, and very flavorful. I requested spicy and it was ok-spicy with a low grade burn. The cons. This is not authentic jerk chicken, rice and peas, or a Caribbean establishment. There was a slight sweetness throughout the food, and it was cooked with a noticeable amt of coconut milk/cream. The coleslaw was the thickest and creamiest I have ever had. Dont get me wrong, the taste was good, it just was not authentic Jamaican (to me), and I expected the angina to hit me at any moment. Fearing shooting pains down my left arm, I decided to eat only half and leave the rest for the next day. The size of the portion was extreme, however over 70% was the rice and peas. The coleslaw was relatively miniscule. The portioning of rice, meat, salad is just not how it is done in a Caribbean establishment. After chatting with the staff, I can confirm that the ownership is jamaican-philipino. The fusion is not bad. It is tasty, but extremely unhealthy. Portion: 3/5 (generous, but not really ... rice) Value: 4/5 (still ... a good portion of chicken) Authenticity: 2/5 (tasted more like chicken adobo, or a bbq chicken resurrected as jerk) Healthiness: 1/5 (my chest hurts ...) Taste: 3/5 (not bad at all) Service: 4/5 (a good experience) Regardless of the other reviews, I would roll the dice one more time and give them another chance. But 1/2 the rice, unless Im feeding the whole family. And Ill have to work off the calories and run there and back vs the subway.

Only giving one star because I cant give 0. I ordered them on doordash after I saw it was rated well on there.. oh god I shouldve checked the reviews on google. Not only did my boneless large jerk chicken have bones, and was the smaller portion, but my fried dumplings were rock hard. Even when microwaved it, it was solid.. The chicken itself was raw. Straight up raw. i cut into it and it was pink. bright pink. stay away and try allwyns instead

★★
December 22, 2022

The fried chicken is tough, and look way smaller than when I use to get. It gets 2 stars for being pricey and smaller portions, and fried chicken being overcooked making it tough to eat. I do not recommend to eat from here personally. Better go somewhere else where you can pay the same amount thats properly cooked and its not like youre fighting to chew on food.

I bought oxtail for $20. And literally got 5 small pieces of oxtail, and hair clip. I called them asked for the manager or an email address to voice my concerns and they told me their was no manager. Different ladies kept coming on the phone to ask what happened. I told them that I wouldnt disclose to no one but the manager and that I would like an email address to state my complaint in a written format. (For some reasons my husband tape the conversation, because I called there on speaker.) They hung up on me I tried calling back and answer. Im going to the mediation

I m leaving this review under my girlfriends account but who ever the lady is that s working there wendsday November 2 at 9 pm at cash has the biggest attitude. I drive me and my co workers ATLEAST 3 times a week and we each get jerk chicken. I have showed other peoples as well. You should teach that angry little lady some manners. Very unprofessional. I have never been talked to that way by a resteraunt worker. Especially for asking for a bigger chicken leg. it is totally not acceptable. I hopefully will receive a message appoligizing for her behaviour or I will find another jerk chicken place even if it is 10 minutes farther away and more expensive.

Food is great but HORRIBLE customer service. The woman did not listen, neither did she explain any of the portions like I asked. I wanted a large coleslaw and one boneless chicken piece, some bananas and pumpkin too in a box. She messed up my order and in the end seemed fed up because I asked her to repeat the order. Very rude. Gave me a SMALL coleslaw, one small piece chicken with no gravy (after switching it twice) and four bananas, never mind the pumpkin. I always go to the one on Bloor and will keep doing so. Won t be visiting here anytime soon. Untrained staff wasted my time and ruined my Sunday lunch.

On May 10th 2021 at 8:22pm I gave specific instructions for the stew chicken to be served with dumplings instead of rice. They send fried chicken ONLY. At 9:09pm When we called the restaurant directly, the woman who answered was rude and unreasonable. She accused us of not being more specific even though they sent the right order for the other item. The person then disconnected the call without resolving the issue. The dumplings were so very burnt. This behavior is unacceptable

The oxtail was not proper Caribbean oxtail, it had more of a tomato heavy sauce to it. The curry goat was tough, needed salt and not great. Everything was edible, but not worth the prices.

The oxtail was NOT cooked properly and the gravy hardened up on my rice like it was 3 days old. Considering the prices they are charging I thought the food would be outstanding, I thought wrong. This is really embarrassing and they should not be calling themselves Caribbean Cuisine. I would not advice eating here !

Ordered off the app from these guys for the first time they said they were trying to contact me just cancelled my order I got no notice until an hour later it s cancelled but noone was trying to reach out to me at all I don t know what they told the driver something I guess cause he left with something since it said he was 12 minutes away from me to drop off food not sure what s going I called the store to make sure the driver didn t cancel the order and take my food and the lady is yelling at me on the phone very unprofessional made me wait an hour to not eat dinner. Not even gonna bother trying to order again. Just stick to what you know I guess. Attached Proof that driver was en route to my house. Even though store said my order was canceled and won t tell me why.

This is the worst Caribbean place to eat in Toronto. Generally speaking Caribbean food is tasteful and very difficult to give 0 stars. This restaurant is disrespecting Jamaican culture and cooking. Someone please put a stop to this. Im not even concerned that I just wasted $60 on three meals but more concerned that this restaurant is misrepresenting our people dem food.

I ordered small and medium ox tail before and the portion just keep getting smaller everytime. I got a medium oxtail + patty and it came out to be 25 bucks, the takeout box is one of those small square boxes and the meat was barely covering half of the bed of rice. Compared to other Caribbean places this is probably the worst tasting one of all in Toronto, I only come here because its convenient, but will not be coming back again, this place is not worth it.

This is my favourite Jamaican restaurant in all of Toronto. The kitchen staff are super friendly and welcoming. The mild and hot sauces are very authentic (sweet and spicy), and the chicken is always fresh with big juicy pieces. The fresh rice, peas, and chickpeas make every meal unforgettable.

My goodness I was so disappointed with the food and the food quality. The fried chicken was overcooked and very dry/hard. Their patties was simple awful dry and brunt. The caramel flan was horrendous and the plantain was soaked in oil and once again overcooked. My co worker order something else and she was equally disappointed. Never again!

Visited this place by accident yesterday. Bought the small sized lunch with plantain (extra charge). It was very good; came with coleslaw and med. spiced sauce. The food tasted the same as the location on Bathurst and Bloor. Recommend. Good amount of spice and flavour. I give one star less due to the hasty nature of the person at the counter. She seemed to be agitated by my questioning of the menu.

The timing says close at 12am Drove all the way to this place . Took me 32 mins and it was closed at 11.15pm bad experience

December 22, 2021

Went at night. Ordered two chicken entrées. I guess she ran out of chicken so one order had 1/4 of the amount of the other one... she didnt bother saying anything. But food is inauthentic. (Not Jamaicans) Was pretty bad...tastes like made by people who dont like to cook.

December 22, 2021

I had to wait 20mins at the counter before I was provided assistance....and there was no one else in the store. The staff was just chatting in the back not paying attention to the front of the store. Their employees refused to give hot sauce, indicating that their manager would deduct hot sauce cost from their Salary if they gave it to customer. If youre cheap, just say that. It was never an issue before. Food was also horrible, you can tell it was sitting outside all day.

December 22, 2021

I always order jerk chicken here after my work. But tonight the lady served a small amount. Theres two guys before me, she gave a lot compare to my order, I ordered large as well. She is not fair to anybody and not friendly. Shes not even putting her mask on while serving, mask not supposed on the chin.

Just bought food by you guys. It s my fourth time and I was really disappointed on this occasion. I usually buy chicken and I m satisfied but today I bought rice and oxtail (Medium) for $16 and there was literally 3 pieces of oxtail, only two were reasonable size pieces. No way that could be a fair portion size for that price. Don t think I ll be visiting here again.

Coleslaw is almost all mayo, the curry taste like I can cook it myself with spices I can buy at supermarket. (Too heavy as well). They spilled the dessert in the bag which made it useless. Never coming again was my second time. First time was better.
