Very nice place. Interior is open, bright, and well appointed. The food was pre-made, and served cafeteria style — except the jerk shrimp which was made once ordered.
We had the jerk chicken, curry lamb, and curry goat. With the curry entrees were chickpeas and also red beans and rice. My wife had red beans and rice with the jerk shrimp.
Everything was quite good and the portions were large.
We will be going back!
Great new spot in town. The service was excellent and the atmosphere is nice.
I'm a vegetarian, so my options were fairly limited, but they did have a veggie plate. The food is a little on the spicy side for my tastes (big wuss here), but I think the average person would enjoy it and the rest of my party enjoyed their food; cleaning their plates. These are the reasons for my 4 stars, but honestly a personal preference.
We went at lunchtime, so everything is pre-made, but I don't know if it's that way for dinner. (A lot of the dishes would need long cooking times to get the flavors anyway, so I don't think it's a negative at all.)
Overall, I would recommend checking it out! Nice to see a new kind of cuisine come to Rochester.
I decided to stop by Jerk King while in Rochester for a few days with friends. We went for a late lunch. I ordered jerk chicken, rice and peas (beans) and fried plantains. My friend from Jamaica ordered the curried goat. I enjoyed the chicken and plantains. The rice was a little dry but had good flavor. My friend said that he liked the meal and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. I would eat there again.
What a great place! We had the special of the day (very well priced)--Jerk Chicken and fries. We added fried plantains just for fun. The food was great and the service was good. We will certainly go back again! Highly recommended!
This restaurant is a Caribbean style restaurant with the food set up in warmers so you can see what you’re ordering right away. The food looks like it’s continuously prepared as they don’t keep a lot of everything out, so I’m assuming they keep it as fresh as possible. I got the jerked chicken, curry rice, curry potatoes, some coleslaw, and a little sample of the curry chicken. The jerked chicken is so incredibly flavorful, from the skin to the meat. It has a kick to it, with a slight background sweetness to balance it. I thought the rice was a little plain for my taste but it went well with the chicken. The potatoes were perfectly cooked, and not mushy at all. The curry chicken was super tender and flavorful as well. All in all I would definitely eat here again, just to try all the other delicious looking meats and sides.
