I think the food here is great! When I come back to Richmond I would definitely get takeout, but the dine in experience wasn't anything special. I think the interior could be updated/cleaned a little better as well as the service. Our food took a pretty long time to come, but it was worth the wait!

Went late in the evening to get an Island Fry mini meal. I stay 20-30 mins from the Restaurant. When I got home to eat, chicken was bloody in the middle. I called the next day to inform them of the bloody chicken, told them I had pictures of the chicken and that I threw the chicken leg away. I was told to get the chicken leg from out of the trash can , and bring back to them, in order for them to remake or refund. Inspect your food before leaving if not that’s on You.

We were traveling from out of town and stopped to get some Jamaican food- nothing about the meals bought speak Jamaican. The jerk chicken tasted like it was boiled and based with some peppery sauce. The red peas soup was tasteless- the food items included were largely chopped and it was filled with grease throughout, it too was filled with pepper so we didn’t enjoy. I bought a kids meal of chicken and fries. The fork could not go through the outer part of the chicken because of how hard it was. It didn’t looked like it was freshly prepared and my son could not eat it even after stripping the outer part off. The only edible thing from the purchase was the fries. The customer service is really bad as the cashier carry on as if customers are not standing there waiting. I wished I had read the reviews before stopping by here. I would definitely not recommend . Ps: I could only post of pic of the kids meal because we had thrown the others out in the bin across from the restaurant while my son was trying to get through his as we continued our journey.

These wings are AMAZING! Each set of wings was jammed packed with flavor! , there’s more wings that come in the order but i couldn’t resist in eating some before this picture. TOP TIER WINGS!

Just happened to be walking by here at dinner time and so glad we decided to give this place a try. Really great food and outstanding wings! Tried all 3 varieties, the fried coating and texture on the fried ginger and pineapple wings was fabulous and the jerk wings had a nice kick. My wife had the jerk chicken which was also really good. Might have been a little too saucy for some, but I enjoyed it, and the spiciness was just right. Highly recommend trying this place if your in the neighborhood!

My family is Cantonese, can’t believe all the food we ordered tasted similar to Cantonese food, especially the fried dumplings, it tasted like Ox Tongue pastry (no ox tongue in it). The ox tail was so tender, the rice was so addictive. It was our first time trying Jamaican food, we liked it so much!!

I learned about this restaurant from a post on Facebook. I ordered online and in about 2 minutes, I received a courtesy call letting me know the soup I ordered was unavailable. That was fine... I asked for the available selections. The substitute was pumpkin chicken soup. I like pumpkin but never had this particular soup before. I received my food quickly and my Hibiscus hot tea with honey was made when I arrived. Everything was great... The sauce was a great added touch to the oxtail and macaroni with cheese egg rolls.

I had dinner here last night as a cultural experience with Culture Encounters and it was amazing!!! I had the carrot and ginger mocktail which was sweet and refreshing. For starter the callaloo bites were flaky and flavourful. I don’t know what the dipping sauce was but it complemented the mini pies so well! Then we had the full taster menu with Jerk chicken, curry chicken, oxtail, rice and peas, and cabbage. It was a big plate but each item was so distinctly flavoured and scrumptious that I devoured it all! Not too salty,not too spicy, just perfection. To crown it off, we had rum cake and homemade rum raisin ice cream. It was THE BEST rum raisin ice cream I have ever had! By the way, they can also do full vegetarian. I’ll definitely be back for date night!

The worse Jamaican food I ve ever had! All of our food was made in old grease. Some of the presentation of the food was cute, but that s about it. The chicken wings they have as an appetizer was okay (definitely had flavor), however even with that either the chicken had been sitting for a while under a light or the chicken was made in old grease as well. Please be careful going here. They tried to force me to pay for food that I didn t eat and after they removed it from my table.(oxtails & rice) IT HAD NO FLAVOR! I literally ate a small piece and was not satisfied the gravy for the oxtails was so greasy and flavorless even the oxtails had no seasoning. I guess they have a new chef or something. Mac/Cheese and fries were fresh (kids meal) Majority of the food was hard to eat because it was all OLD; I could not fathom the thought of paying for the oxtails and rice that was the breaking point. Oxtails are already a bit pricey, so to eat it with NO FLAVOR and greasy gravy?! I was NOT!!! After I had to give them a a full summary on why I didn t want to eat the food besides it didn t taste good, they eventually let off and didn t make me pay for the oxtails. Just don t be surprise if you re forced to pay for it. I ll stick with Carena s Jamaican Grille instead!!! They don t ever miss! Money is not a problem for me, but to try to play in my face to pay for some old flavorless food isn t happening! Besides trying to force me to pay for the horrible food, I give customer service 3.5/5. First time there and last.

10 out of 10 hands down!! The Jamaican vibe hits you prior to entering the building because I could smell the aroma from the street! We ordered oxtail and jerk chicken which was beyond flavorful. Rice and peas, cabbage was as well. I asked if they were going to be open the next day because I wanted to come back! Thats how good everything was!! Must visit if looking for authentic Jamaican cuisine!

I have been going to this restaurant for years. I have always been satisfied with the quality of the food and service. I eat at this establishment at least 2 to 3 times a week. Until I had an issue with my food not being done . I ve ordered the same dish for 2 or more years. My concern with my chicken being undercooked was not acknowledged. I was told . That s how it look but it s done . I have never received any chicken looking undone. That was a big problem for me . I do know when chicken is cooked properly. So I had no choice to give my honest opinion. I was a loyal and faithful customer until then What are your thoughts???

October 22, 2024

I m 30 years old an i love trying new restaurants an not only was this the worst experience I ve EVER had the food was horrible, i ordered jerk egg rolls, the combo wings 3 diff flavors, & the salmon rasta pasta, an a cocktail, jerk egg rolls had no meat in them, but i like egg rolls regardless so i still ate them i give 6/10, pasta very tasteless not horrible just no flavor 3/10, now these wings is where it just gets awful, super fat that was a red flag but i still tried 2 flavors, barely ate those 2, advised my waiter i didn t like them an to remove them from my bill, another lady comes an tell me because i started eating those 2 flavors that i had to pay for them which was $10, so im like ill pay $5 even though i shouldn t have had to pay for any of it, they told me no, i then asked for the manager she told me the same thing at this point i told them i wasn t paying for any of the wings, she asked me what s with the attitude, mind you i didn t have a attitude but i def was a little frustrated that s when she told me i didn t have to be frustrated i then got up went to the front to pay you kno these people charged me for 2 wings lol NEVER GO HERE.

If you re reading this, then yes, yes you should order! First time having them via DoorDash and it was soooo good! I got the jerked chicken and oxtails with rice and cabbage. It was all so tender and flavorful. I also got the Jamaican rum chocolate cake. I ve never had rum cake so I didn t know what to compare it too. It has a slight spice flavor which I suppose is the rum. This for me isn t as great but doesn t change my outlook at all. I will definitely return again to try out their menu.

August 22, 2024

Food was delicious, However, the service? Absolutely horrible. The girl with the Afro bun and headband needs a lesson in customer service very offputting and rude.

Used Uber Eats. They are very unorganized and can not manage on-line order and in house orders. Does not represent black business excellence. Very slow and inefficient!!

I ordered a small curry with white rice and cabbage and first let me say this the curry was lacking hella flavor! Secondly I don t like hard cabbage so that s a no for me too. Lastly, parts of my rice and chicken was cold as hell. I m a fan of this place I order from here pretty often but I don t what s going on in that kitchen. I can deal with a lot of inconsistencies in life but food isn t one. I don t if they changed cooks or what but yall need to get this together because I m over being finessed!

awful attitudes towards black Americans! They get angry if you don t leave tip as well! Never again !

Totally ridiculous, Outrageous Monday service pickup at your establishment. 6/1/2024 12:15 Ready here we go I was informed that my call in order will be ready in 20 minutes. Note the time as I got there. Everything was fine. Staff was friendly, smiling and engaging. After paying the $50 for the order, I was informed to go in a darkened hallway called the waiting room, what in the world. First red flag I was out of sight from staff..Time came and went its now 12:50pm, they forgot that I had placed an order so One of the staff members peeked around the corner saw me sitting in the waiting area. She replied Im going to check on your order. Came back and said that theyre waiting on the chicken. To be cooked, how long does it take chicken to cook, they forgot my order. A couple of minutes passed , it is now 1:10pm. When the order finally arrived. It seemed to me that it was rushed and your Staff member could not make eye contact with me because again they had forgotten my order, and they gave no apologies, just placed my food on the counter, and I looked at my order and I know what jerk chicken is suppose to look like, but Im sorry this jerk chicken was not tender nor appealing, I threw it away, and I wish I would have taken a picture of this mess. I dont want my money nor anymore of your food but an apology really would be nice for wasting my time for an hour and I didnt get any good food out of my wait. To sum it all up, I was told it will be ready in 20 minutes. I spent 1 hour in that place waiting for my food. And I am not satisfied, I had brought my wife out on a lunch date, so I will not be coming back ever to this particular restaurant anymore. I will tell my friends and families not to frequent your establishment either. You all have to do better. Feel free to contact me.

Oh my goodness, a great end to my weekend travels. I love Richmond if you have noticed that I stay visiing. It make me feel like Im home from Philly. Downtown, feel, shops and restaurants beautiful parks. But anyway back to this spot. I wish I did not have to drive an hour for good food but hey. The service was excellent. Im very particular and picky and the waitress was patient and helpful suggesting foods. I love some good oktails they were big and flavorful, jerk chicken tender, jerk roll and sauce omg. I thought corn bread was dry due the feel but it have a sweet sugar crust and drizzled with honey and soft. . The salmon listen everything was excellent you get a lot of food and freshly prepared. You can taste the home oktail and jerk sauce. Its a definite when we feel like Jamaican its a day trip for us since we have drive an hour

Being someone of a Caribbean background ,this food was very disappointing. We just moved to Virginia from New York and we were very excited to find this restaurant, however my family and I walked out in complete disgust. This food is no way authentic, the Mac and cheese was salty, my Coconut Shrimp was drowning in some sort of white sauce and my daughter s salmon was raw in the center. Not to mention the Rasta Pasta that s just noodles and Alfredo sauce; not authentic by any stretch. My family and I were so confused about what the lack of flavor, Caribbean spices and flare and just overall authenticity. If you have never experienced authentic Jamaican food you will love it, but if you have .. Save your money and time.

So we used to go here once a week, but I dont know what happened now. They only provide you with four pieces of oxtails and dry rice, and for the price theyre charging, four pieces is not enough. Guess we are going to have to find another

I habe ordered 2 different soups pumpkin amd red oea. Both had huge scotch bonnet peppers in them. The soup was too spicy to heat. My tongue burned, the roof of my mouth my lips . Please do not waste your money theses soups are difficult to eat if at all wasted money twice. Stick with Jamaica House or Carrina for soup. Parking: On street parking

We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. The corned beef and cabbage is hitting ooooh so good. Carrot/ ginger drink very tasty. Brown stew red snapper was so favorable. We both had carry out leftovers. Now dessert bread pudding and carrot cake has just been placed in front of me. So I will be ending this review. You must come and experience it.

Food was okay, cabbage is crunchy. I asked for the curry chicken to be extra spicy, received it and it taste like it wasn t even a pitch of spiciness in it. Not to mention it took them 35 minutes to make my food. Wouldn t recommend, I really wish Queens restaurant would not have changed their recipe so that I wouldn t have to be trying new Jamaican spots.

This was my first time ordering from Irie Ting. The ox tails with white rice and cabbage was delicious but the rasta pasta had a weird smell. I got it with jerk chicken, which I think caused the smell. I wish i got shrimp instead. Aside from the smell, the noodles were still flavorful. That was my first time trying rasta pasta so I have nothing to compare it too.

December 22, 2023

Walked in the restaurant the two host looked at my mother and I like we was walking in the wrong place I said hi to one of them and she act as if she didn t hear me. I asked one of the host for a menu and about 10 mins of being there we placed our order and we waited about 30 mins for our food and the host were rude because they only spoke to certain customers and ignored other customers that was waiting to place a order. Some customers sat on the side with the booth waiting for their food and the host were rude and told them they couldn t sit there. I got my food and it was horrible the Rasta pasta wasn t that great it s normally penne pasta but they used fettuccine pasta I guess they do their own thing but it wasn t good at all presentation it looked pretty and my protein was shrimp and it was just on a skewer on the side of tge plate, my oxtail was okay but it was too spicy not sure if they put too much pepper , my two year old love rice and peas and he didn t like it at all he told me NO when I was giving him some. The plantains were good I ate those on my way home and the red peas soap was good wish it had more red peas.

The inside was very nice. The setting is laid back, yet you could do a little dance. The food however, did not match the place. The chicken was a little to salty, the rice was kind of mushy, and there was no potatoes like I am used to. The curry chicken was just off in a few ways. The cabbage was okay but did not have that taste I was looking for. Over all I was looking for a mouth watering make you want to come back bang. Instead I got a I tried this but on to the next place to see if I can find better. If not I guess me and YouTube video curry chicken back to being friends

So I came here wanting oxtails after about 30 minutes they told me they were all out of oxtails so I got the jerk chicken and The brown stewed chicken I got about 4 to 5 pieces of chicken and they were all dry and cold in the middle tasted like they cooked them 3 days ago and left them in the fridge and then poured sauce on them. The service was great she did give us a discount on the food but I would never serve chicken like that. You cant make it fresh you shouldnt be making it at all. Positives the sauce for the jerk Chicken was very tasty and our waitress was friendly and courteous, I just wish the food matched that.

Service is always positive here. They appear to go out of the way to make sure of that. We were new to Jamaican cuisine when we first came here and left delighted wanting to try more items on the menu. The crab and dumpling soup is a hit with the whole family. The jerk salmon burger is also going to be repeated. The roti, not so much based on our one experience, although it may have been an off night. Fresh lemonade to go with the meal on a summer day is a nice treat. Will be going back and yes; will try the roti again. :-)

My husband and I enjoyed our food very much! I got the jerk chicken and it was the closest in flavor to the jerk chicken I had when in Jamaica (must restaurants make it too sweet, no heat, and lacking in complexity). The chicken was cooked perfectly. My husband got the curry goat and he said it was good. Plenty of food, made a couple meals out of it. My only suggestion is we also ordered a chicken patty and a beef patty, but they werent labeled. I cant eat beef, so Id suggest labeling the bags, but we figured it out. We ordered ahead and picked up, so I cannot attest to table service, but the ladies that took care of me were friendly and fast. Cute place.

Yall , when I say this probably my favorite out of 4 Jamaican restaurants I have had . The portions are always legit . I usually get a kids curry cause its so much but this is a reg. small in the picture and you can see how full it is . I asked for extra carrots and they delivered the carrots are so good the cabbage is bomb the rice too the chicken is always seasoned really well it taste like love if you ask me . It isnt too spicy but its perfect for me ! I get a cocoa bread too with my curry chicken meal Definitely worth it !

We found this gem while on a trip to Richmond. We d never had Jamaican food before, and wow were we blown away! The decor and atmosphere was casual with an upscale vibe. Tia took such good care of us. The cocktails!!! We had the Purple Rain sangria and they were delicious. The food!!!!! I had the Rasta Pasta and never in my 54 years have I had more delicious pasta cooked to perfection. Fresh tomato and slivers of green cooled the heat of the jerk chicken I added on. The garlic white sauce was amazing. It was seriously the best pasta I ve ever had. When you re in Richmond you should try Irie Tings. If you ve never had Jamaican food you are in for a treat! Five stars all the way!

Ordered the Oxtails via UberEats. The Oxtails didn t have much of a taste and a very thin gravy. The rice and peas tasted burnt like what happens when you let the bottom of the pot burn and the unpleasant smoky aroma gets in all the rice. The cabbage was overcooked and under seasoned. The whole meal was lazy and half done. We also ordered the escovitch but haven t tried it out. It has the same Cabbage and white rice so my hopes aren t high. The portion was good which is why I gave 2 stars vs one. Ppl work hard for their money, don t serve us Jamaican food that your fellow Jamaicans would not allow to pass their lips. I couldn t finish the oxtails bc there was no taste and a fatty meat like Oxtails needs taste to be enjoyed.

I got the oxtails and jerk chicken egg rolls for take out and they tasted phenomenal. Rather than boiling the oxtails it seemed like they simmered it in some really flavorful broth as the meat was both tasty and tender. I have had the jerk chicken entree before and it was very good as well. While the price is a bit on the higher end, the amount of food they give you match it well but expect to pay ~$16-20 for large entrees. Take out was relatively simple, where you order online and let the people at the desk know you re there to pick up.

We had a server Danielle who was excellent, pleasant friendly and did everything to accommodate our big party last minute. The red pea soup was good a bit spicy for some. The oxtail was very tough and hard. Oxtail is suppose to be soft falling off the bone. The rice had a burnt taste. The brown stew chicken and curry goat salty. The fried chicken was dry. After telling our concerns to Danielle she felt bad that the food was not good but her service was good. She went and spoke with the manager. Per the manager she offered to take $2 off our food which felt rude and insulting. We refused and paid our full bill as overall the service again was good and the food is plenty. But I certainly was not impressed.

Honestly, their food (jerk chicken, rice and peas, cabbage) is sub par to some of Richmonds longer standing Jamaica spots like Jamaica House or Carenas. Orders the large jerk chicken. About half was over cooked and the other undercooked. The cabbage lacks firmness and had no flavor. The rice d peas were okay but I would make a special visit for them. I gave it 2 stars because maybe other offerings are better but I doubt that I would return.
