I’ve been to this place twice. The first time I wasn’t pleased do to the pricing and the small amount of food they give you. Thought I would give them another chance almost 5 months later and again I payed for a large meal and they act like they are scared to put any meat on your plate. Rice and peas barely have flavor and very dry. (Better ask for them to be smothered in a sauce). Then I ask for a large juice not knowing the price only for her to hit me with 10 dollars for the drink. I feel truly ripped off coming to this place And I no more Jamaican spots around LA that blows this place out of the water as far as food taste and quantity. They need to do better here. Wouldn’t mind paying the price if they would actually give you some food. Whatever the Premier meat is you best believe you will barely have some on your plate and again the food is barely making ok. I’m not a hater and I’m a person that rarely never blogs but this place especially looking at other peoples comments I had to give my two cents. Other comments are Putting 10s on 2s And probably friends or family, Especially the girl or person talking about this is the best Jamaican food I’ve ever tasted in my life.

This place has remained amazing to me for the past 15 years but I haven’t had it in 8 years and it’s every bit of good now as then. The service has been fantastic still and prices definitely worthwhile for the portions.

Food was Delicious! I had jerk chicken (first time having it) it came with rice and pigeon peas and a warm cabbage salad, my partner had the curry goat with the same sides as me and he was very pleased with it. Definitely coming back to this place when in town. Service Take out Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I’m hooommme!! Best Jamaican food I’ve had, since I left Miami and I’m now living in Cali. The curry shrimp, oxtails and rice and peas were very, very delicious. I love when a place makes food go order, so it’s always hot and fresh. Donna will haffi get used to mi caw mi nah go nowhere.
My meat less stew peas was too spicy. I don’t care for spicy food because, it takes away from the actual seasoning. But over all, very tasty. When I was a teenager I used to go with my aunt to buy food from Donna when she was selling dinner plates from her house. Yep, my aunt and her were good friends. I will always support this establishment because the food is delicious. My daughter had the oxtail and that wasn’t spicy at all and she enjoyed her meal.
What can be said about Donna's that hasn't already been said about the wheel, sliced bread, or the moon landing? This is truly a monumental feat in the culinary space. Your tastebuds will be thanking you for weeks and yearning to return to try more of her delicious cooking. The jerk chicken fell off the bone and was so juicy and flavorful it had my whole team laying on the praise for her and her team's fantastic cooking. She had a veggie plate and gave us some spare sides and I also got to sample a beef patty that was out of this world. Big portion size, got our order of 9 people 100% right, and was just the best! Can't wait to come back and if you don't go here, you have made a mistake. Thanks to Donna and her team for blessing us with this AMAZING FOOD! Note: The prices on her google doc are outdated and the large plate is now about $20-22 but still well worth it.

Where do I start lol. When I walked in the guy was sitting down on the customer's side I looked at him and the other guy and said hey and they said hey back I thought they were customers too 😆 then after 2 mins one of the guys comes around and starts taking my order. Prices I don't complain because I know it's a service, but the portion has to match the price my brother. The restaurant is clean so it has potential. Just needs a new chef 👨‍🍳 Service Take out Meal type Lunch Price per person $20–30 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

I think I caught them on a bad day. There was no banana no dumpling no pies. The rice was dry and no flavor. There was very little shrimp and the veggies were just ok. Not worth the money. However I'll go back again I really think it was a bad day. Price per person $20–30 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2
I dined Togo with my dad and it was amazing. We have been supporting local businesses and I saw a friend rave about this place. I got Chicken and he got oxtail. The food size family plates lasted me three days and him one. The people are really sweet and very thoughtful. This food is made with love. The seasoning is delicious yet hot at the same time my friend was laughing at me when I was talking about how addicting and hot it was because of the flavors. Support your local business’s.
