I only get the fried chicken meal from here. It’s just my favourite dish. The fried chicken is always delicious. Rice is good, coleslaw is fresh and not super sweet. Quick and kind service!

Best Jamaican food in the city!! Flavours incredible, Jerk chicken well marinated and flavourful, Fried chicken in the box managed to stay crispy as hell, Patties are soft and flaky. Not salty, not dry, and not greasy either. Huge portions, prices are really reasonable.

After having read some good reviews of this place, I stopped by for dinner today. I went for the medium jerk chicken meal with peas and rice. The food did not disappoint, it was flavorful and generous in portion size. It's a take out place so I wasn't expecting a restaurant ambience. I sat and ate there relishing each bite as I watched folks and traffic passing along Bloor Street. What impressed me the most was the customer service of the lady who served me. Soft spoken, approachable and polite. When I asked her for a small serving of the curried chickpeas to taste, she added a big ladelful to my box at no extra cost. I wasn't expecting that and was pleasantly surprised. The curried chickpeas were good and served me as a palate freshener between mouthfuls of my jerk chicken meal. The reviews were right about the friendly and great customer service by the ladies. I give them 5 stars for that. Will I eat there again. O yes.

Food was amazing and flavorful, there are a lot of different options, jerk chicken with spicy sauce was great, barbecue chicken as well. No spicy options are offered but they are not as interesting. Enjoyed it very much. The place itself is not nice to eat in, but for a takeout it is an amazing option. Thank you 🙏🏻

This place Is King of the Jerk Chicken indeed. I had a Jerk Chicken Medium meal which felt like a large or extra large in a usual carribbean restaurant. The Chicken was super tender and the spicy Jerk sauce was Savory and not too spicy. The women taking orders and preparing the plate were wonderful and kind. Best thing is that this place is open until 4AM everyday, making it the perfect late night meal. I'll be back to try more food.

Amazing jerk chicken!! Portions are really generous and food is really tasty. Love that they’re open late, and workers are really kind & efficient. (photo: medium sized jerk chicken with spicy gravy)

This is a chain restaurant and I always go to the Spadina and College location, I thought this location would have similar quality food but I was so wrong. The service was good since the kid worked there was nice, but the bean and rice were half cooked as in every single bite, there will be a few grains of uncooked rice; the BBQ chicken were burnt as in 90% of the skin were chard black and bitter. I never waste food but this is the first restaurant I went to that I can’t finish it due to how bad the food is and have to throw the leftover away see in the picture. I even asked the guy eating his food beside me if he feels the same way and he agreed. If you want to try Jerk King franchise, just walk to Dufferin mall 3 mins away or hop on the subway and go to the Spadina location. If you have to eat at Dufferin Station, there are tons of other restaurants near by, don’t waste your money here. Don’t know how they’ve survived this far.

Both the spicy jerk chicken and stew chicken were fantastic and full of flavour. The stew chicken was fall off the bone tender. Got a small size of each and the food was packed in. The leftover rice soaked in the meat sauce tastes just as good later in the day.

If I could give them zero stars I would. I ordered 5 days in advance for a 3 year old birthday party. I wanted to order a large quantity of chicken worth $200 and 1 hour before the party, they canceled my order!!! I tried calling them multiple times but no one answered the phone. What kind of business is this?

If you want roti dont come here, it wasnt dalpouri, paratha or buss up shot. The curry was ok but roti wasnt roti, the service though was nice, unfortunately the employees wouldnt know.

The patty was days old . They had to discuss if they were going to get a refund even though the shell was Rock hard and I broke open the patty to show the meat was so old and shriveled stuck to one side gross. The rest of food looked old and reheated as well, didn t eat a bite after the patty. I ordered because it was recommended by my airbnb host and I was extremely hungry after traveling with delays. As soon as I walked in, I knew I should ve walked out, but that s how delusional I was being hungry. I m SHOCKED at the good reviews. This is a mockery of Caribbean food

Terrible service, increase prices for less food. The woman who works week days, around 12 to 7, served less fodd. On Tuesday July 09, I ordered large jerk chicken, and she just served 4 small chicken pieces, but there were customers before ordering small jerk chicken plate and they got 3 big pieces just because they were friends. Also same staff person I saw last week she was giving away drinks no charging for that. Last week I ordered medium jerk chicken and same woman just put 3 small chicken pieces. Is not the first time I noticed they serve less food, but prices increase. Is better find a new place for food.

Jerk King has the best Jamaican Patty I have ever had in my life. I have yet to try the other dishes here, but if the patty is any indication, the food is surely some of the best Jamaican food in the city. The patty is flaky, buttery, and soft. Its filling is flavourful, the meat is tender and juicy and brings the whole thing together with just the right amount of spice. The service is wonderful and I had a great experience talking to the woman behind the counter, she even served me the fresh batch of patties late at night alongside a fun conversation. I definitely recommend coming here, but there is limited seating as it is more of a takeout experience.

Food is only good after night out. Because if you looking for some authenticity and actual good food look else where. this is not it. Also make sure you spell your order otherwise you will get over charged not going to risk it again. Good luck! Ps all my friends in the neighborhood have always scoffed when I said I was going to Jerk king . What a joke !

Hey man, this is my absolute favourite west Indian spot in the entire GTA. I live 40 min away from here and still do the drive if i m craving Jerk King. I ve been coming here for about 3 years now and I ve yet to have a bad experience. First off, their portions are absolutely fair. So many places in the city charge you $20 for a plate of mostly rice and one chicken leg. I ve never had a complain about the amount of chicken they give you per order. Absolute bang for your buck. Secondly, their jerk chicken is soft and rich in flavour, not to mention the size of the thighs are excellent - even for small orders. But one of the most important reasons why I love this place so much is their operating hours. It s so rare to find real cooked food after hours. Most times, it s only fast food. I love how I can get a warm plate of rice and chicken at 2am and not have to settle for a mcdonalds. To the owners, keep doing what you re doing. Don t skimp on the portions like these other west indian restaurants do. 10/10 you guys never let me down.

Do not order from order pickup linked with google maps. I placed an order and got to the shop but was denied of my order. The merchant was rude and claimed they were not aware of this way of ordering and refused to refund or give me the food. They kept saying they only took uber eats order. Also kept asking if I was picking up for someone else when I answered multiple times. They were also subtly racist, since the app linked with google maps pick up (hungry panda) is Chinese.

Amazing food

January 22, 2024

I ordered on Skip the Dishes, and the food is an absolute rip off, trash, and the service is horrible. What kind of a sadist puts bones in a roti? $17 for a goat roti and I maybe had half an ounze of meat I had to tear of the sharpest bones, you would think a protolithic man was trying to fashion hunting tools and stuffed them into a leathery roti with some uncooked chickpeas. I asked for a Mango juice, and I got Mango Carrot, which had I not looked at the label, would have sent me to the hospital since I m allergic to raw carrot. The beef patty is dryer than the tires on the Mars rover. And the Banana cake comes with leopard spots that may or may not be related to a fungal species first cultivated by the guy who was making the spearheads I found in the roti. Don t waste your money folks. If they don t take pride in what they do, don t let them take your hard earned money.

This used to be a great spot to get food but the service has consistently diminished. These are three of the most miserable women youll encounter in the service industry. Particularly the short hair asian women is terrible. Message to management: If you dont like people, get out of this business. You and your staff are rude and impatient. Youve had up to 5 customers beckoning to you for service while all of you convene in the back and resurface without an apology and annoyance after keeping THEM waiting. I have had one blatantly ignore me after I asked about the plate being put together for me. I hadnt been there in months and went back last night only to be greeted by the same lack of professionalism. Youre in a prime location and have a horrible attitude. With any luck your customer loyalty will erode and a more deserving establishment will emerge. Disappointing

Tastes like someone saw a picture of Jamaican food once and decided to give it a shot based on that memory. Rice and Peas taste like the peas came on as an afterthought, food presentation is with the little oxtail that is there being completely buried unde the rice, the salt - I mean sauce is just poorly made, the oxtail itself has an almost impossible amount of flavour lacking.

Have eaten here many times before. Today, the Jerk Chicken was not very good. The rice and coleslaw were tasty.The chicken was plain and flavorless. The spices have not been allowed to soak into the chicken long enough before cooking it. Or they have decided to put less spice so only the skin has the flavor. Plus I paid by credit card and it cost me .25 cents. Lucky my Neo credit card gave me .41 cents cash back. I no longer recommend Jerk Chicken due to tasteless Jerk chicken. I have a feeling the ownership has changed. Too bad, now I will have to go to Scarborough for good Jerk chicken .

Jerk on point

December 22, 2023

The first time I went there I was not treated well. I felt rushed and the server was very rude and was yelling at me. I had never been there before, so I was confused who she was talking to. I brushed it off and figured she was having a bad day. The food was good though. The second time I went, different server, but she tried to serve me a broken piece of fried chicken as a full piece. I told her I saw the piece fall off. I ordered the curry chicken instead. Then they opened in the Dufferin Mall. The first lady that was serving me so sweet. Then this other server rushes from the back of the store, dumps my food, and says something to the first lady, totally embarrassing her. Then tries to find the tiniest pieces of chicken to serve and got my order wrong. I told her to forget it, Ill just go somewhere else. After those 3 experiences, I was done. It got so bad that if I was craving Jerk Kings food, I had to get my Filipino or non Caribbean friends to order for me. These incidents happened a few years ago (pre pandemic), but its still bothersome. Its also embarrassing what theyre charging for non authentic, Jamaican food.

Been coming here for years but something changed a few months ago. The patties are thick dough and horrible now. The jerk chicken used to be sweet now its bitter. They got new owners and changed the recipes and it s not good at all Any more. I tried coming here 3 times a couple weeks apart in the last two months just to rule out a bad day but it s been consistent 3 times in a row. Will not be coming back

The service was good both the girl and the guy vere nice the food was good, potions were good and coleslaw was delicious. Jerk chicken was very soft and lots of flavor how ever it did not have that jerk flavor I was looking for I was really satisfied tho. And oxtail was good too

Great chicken for a great price. Vegetarian options: They have rice and beans and plantains and other options as well Food : 5/5 |

You call this food good ? They pretty much pasted the food with curry powder on cooked food this made me sick immediately after one bite. You should be ashamed of yourself even serving this kind of food the goat was so dry and full of curry powder after the food was cooked gross. This food makes people sick and you should not have even got your food license. Do not buy if you want to live.

Food here is good customer service is not the greatest. The girl isnt payment attention to her customers by serving people that came in after me and random customers causing a kaos in the restaurant we were waiting for 20 mins to be served due to alot if customers and not much of a seating area!

I was at this location to pick up an 2 separate orders (jerk chicken rice and peas) and just rice and peas, that I ve ordered earlier in the evening through Uber Eats. When I arrived, there was only 2 people in-front of me, so it wasn t busy at all. When my turn came, I ve shown the female server the order number on my phone. She then told the cook behind her to give me my order. The cook then looks at me and gave me the other order slip and aggressively told me to signed my name on the slip. So I did and gave it back to him and he gave me the bag with my order inside, and I went out. I was a little upset but I quickly got over it, and quickly went home since it was still raining out. The food was ok, not good but not bad either. The experience there was nothing to ride home about, probably the change in ownership was the reason there were different people working there. Would I go back there or order my food from that location? No, there are other better Caribbean restaurants and takeouts out there that I would go to if I want a truly authentic Jamaican meal

Been coming here for years. Ownership changed, they seem to have franchised, and the new recipes have gone absolutely downhill. If you re thinking of getting their new Pattie s (old used to be AZING), just save your money and eat an orange brick - it ll be tastier, I promise. Slaw used to be great and now it s gross, watery, and never fresh. On top of all this they raised prices and made portions much smaller.

This was my favourite spot for years, but over the past few months there has been a noticeable dip in quality (quantity?) - The new staff are kind and work well, but they don t serve you the portions I m used to getting, which was loaded with gravy and chickpea stew so that the boxes are nearly overflowing. Nothing beats that!! I would try to take a peek to see if the older (sorry) staff are working. Update Aug2023: It s worth saying this again - new staff don t give you the amount they should! Either ask for more (should be nearly overflowing) or say you don t want it. This was a large for $19 and I was still hungry

Tried the goat roti and jerk chicken sandwich. Goat Roti - The taste of the meat was good. Too many potatoes and goat pieces were more bone less meat. Jerk Chicken Sandwich - delicious and filling. Gave 3 stars for the atmosphere as its a really small place with only 4 chairs for dining. Overall Rating - 4 stars as flavors were pretty much on point.

The food use to be so good and there s only certain days the food is good with certain workers I will update and ask for names. But also they moved Aunty Philis she had the best customer service and always made everyone smile! There are some other honourable mentions but I need to learn there name. My only issue and it s more recent the food has gotten even worst lately since a lot of change with the staff I don t know who cooking but the Plaintain is never ripe so when fried it tastes terrible and it s not sweet complete waste of money, and their beef Pattie s some days they re proper and flaky other days it s hard plain tuff dough with weird seasonings in the beef it just tastes terrible. They need to bring some more if not Caribbean cookers then people who have experience making food period. For their prices the taste should be better.

FIRE! Great portion and taste. I got the jerk chicken with oxtail sauce. I added plantain (nice big pieces) and a dumpling (big one, a hint of sweetness which I loved). Coleslaw is delish too.

Dont know about the other items but their jerk chicken is fantastic! Even when it cools down it still somehow manages to stay tender and moist. 5 stars for the Jerk Chicken. Also 5 stars for their Coleslaw which is worth the extra $2.

I buy jerk chicken at least once a week from this place. But it s literally a win or lose. Sometimes it s fresh and tasty. Sometimes it s all saggy, hard to chew and tasteless, like today. I don t know what day or time I should go there so I can get the fresh food instead of trash.

I go to the location near Dufferin station, it is a pickup only place. The girl who takes and prepares your order is very friendly and polite. There are several Jamaican jerf chicken places in the city but honestly, nothing is as nearly as good as Jerk King, this is the juiciest, tastiest jerk chicken you will ever taste. The race and beans is delicious too and not to mentheir coleslaw!!! Fresh, tasty, perfect. Regarding size choices, I recommend to go for the large one, its the best value for your money, if its for two people one large and one small would be fine.

Sensational!

December 22, 2022

Ive been a customer of this store for over 2 years. The lady with the mask was literally picking her nose while adjusting the mask. When asked if she could wash her hands, she ignored me completely. Upon asking again, she said shes busy doing other orders and told me to leave the store and never come back if I am not happy with the service. In the service industry, you tend to get feedback from people. If you cant take it, then maybe this isnt the right job for you. Just by asking someone not to come back is not going to solve the issue. Very rude.

I have been a customer for almost decade at this Bloor and Dufferin location. A few dishes are almost similar to some of the south East Asian cuisine especially curry goat, curry chicken and roti. Rice and peas is so flavourful and delicious that I order with Jerk chicken together. Their spicy jerk sauce is out of this world. I can t get enough of their fresh and tasty homemade coleslaw with my meal every time I order from them. Patty is a must try for midnight snack. Sad to know some of my fav items prices have been increased lately. Some staff there are very friendly, patient and polite. Service is very fast during their busiest hours. I saw them the way they handle and serve the customers is very clean, wearing gloves when they make my roti and other orders. Too bad that they don t have space for dine in anymore. It s only for fast take out spot.

Had to run a few errands in the area and decided try the jerk chicken here. This meal was very filling and had a large portion enough for 2. We were given three pieces of chicken that were cooked very well and seasoned generously. It was very flavourful and savoury. The spicy sauce was a great addition to the meal. The beans were a little bit on the more soggier side which many people may or may not prefer. The coleslaw was also really good, but not enough for the meal, so I d recommend to purchase extra. It s wonderful that the place is open till 4 am which is great if anyone is craving a midnight meal. Will definitely have again if I m in the area. Overall I d give this place an 8.4/10.
