Jamaican Mi Juicy: Reviews & Ratings

I missed Jamaican cuisine since moving to Vancouver a decade ago as the city seems to not have as much availability than Toronto. As someone who has grew up surrounded by Jamaican food and patty culture, this took me right back. Crust on the patty was incredible, and just the right amount of flake with richness. Jerk chicken bowl was straight to the flavor, with no frills. Just great chicken and rice through and through.

One of the more decent food you can get at the food court. Overal the jerk chicken with rice was good however I will say they don’t give as much sauce as I’d like and on the coslaw they barely gave any dressing. But again decent food from what you’d expect from a food court restaurant.

Got their Jerk Chicken Caesar salad and my husband got their Jamaican patty. 10/10 - lots of flavour and the chicken was so tender. I’ll be back to get the platter next time :)

First try on the Jamaican food and ordered the jerk chicken rice bowl. It’s good, with the Parmesan cheese and the source, especially surprised by the sweet beans in the rice. Portion is just little smaller than regular size as I think but chicken is fully filled on top of the rice. Worth a try if you’re looking for new food hunting or strong/different tastes in a meal.

New place in the Metrotown food court. Staff were extremely friendly and cheerful. The food itself was delicious and the chicken was moist. The beef Pattie was also good too. However, the prices were a bit high. $7 for a pastry and $18 for the chicken dish, where it was mostly rice and salad I thought was a bit steep in comparison to the same price point at other stores. Would repeat, but without the additional Pattie.

The chicken wrap is a great healthy and reasonably priced meal (14 CAD)! I dare say the best bang for your buck meal out of the whole food court. Don't miss the mandwich, it's really good value (10 CAD) and delicious!

I forgot to take a before picture, this is mid-meal. It was delicious! I got the Jerk Chicken Meal and it was juicy and full of flavor, as promised! A generous helping of rice but the cabbage would be really good if it was tossed instead of sauce on top. Other than that, YUM!
