Konoko Restaurant

Everything was amazing. Shay was a great waitress and even the bussers were great. Cecil came over and spoke to us. That was a great add-on to Shay's already amazing service. Now the food was amazing. Best oxtails I've tasted in the states.

Finally made it to Konoko after a 2 year wait!My girlfriend had her birthday here and I couldn't wait to experience the vibes and good food I've been hearing about.It was so worth the wait. The music was jumping on this Sunday fall evening and my friends and I enjoyed cocktails and the shrimp for starters. We all had different entrees but I ordered the oxtails with a side of plantain. Everyone said everything was excellent. Even the birthday dessert was top tier. ($13 by the way for 1 slice) The prices on the menu are quite hefty but you to splurge at least once to experience this place (or at least on a date lol) Can't wait to return on a Friday or Saturday!

This was my first visit to Konoko Restaurant. What a great dining out experience. I found the restaurant on Yelp as I was in the area shopping. I didn't have a reservation, which is recommended, but was still able to be seated in a reasonable amount of time. We were seated in the 2nd floor bar area which was perfect. It felt private but we could see down into the first level dining and bar area, which felt very VIP. I had the pineapple ginger punch, delicious, and the jerk chicken entree. Very good food and a delicious spin on traditional Caribbean cuisine. Would definitely recommend trying them out!! And make a reservation! Can't wait to dine there again when I'm inadi area!

Came on Wednesday and witnessed 6 birthdays. So cute. You get a sign, a song and complimentary ice cream. The coco bread is to die for. The jerk, jam/jam shrimp and jerk sauces are amazing. I will definitely be back to get the jam/jam shrimp and curry. The atmosphere was laid back with a nice reggae song list. I wish the lighting at the bar was dimmer but overall we had fun.

Came up to the area for a Wednesday night at IKEA and Dave and Busters, the service was excellent and the food was good if a bit overpriced. Appetizers were underwhelming but the drinks and rasta pasta were quite good. The restaurant looks upscale without getting formal and the flight crew aesthetic is pretty cute, I can imagine it gets busy but it was fairly tame when we arrived. I would definitely return for a drink again but I would probably go with jerk chicken in the Rasta Pasta as the Ox Tail was a little plain compared to what I have had in the past. The curry cream sauce was absolutely delicious as was the GingerRITA Marley margarita.

This restaurant lives up to all of the expectations and then some! I had family in from out of town and I took the opportunity to try Konoko's as I've been meaning to try it for weeks. Upon entering the hostess greeted us warmly and enthusiastically. The Caribbean and Afro-beats jams were flowing; such a vibe! Our waitress greeted us promptly took our orders. Our food came out within 10 minutes. I had the red snapper and let me tell you, when I go back I'm getting it again. Crisp on the outside, soft and flaky on the inside. The cabbage, just right; not too soft and not too crunchy. My cousin had the jerk chicken; falling off the bone; well seasoned not salty.Please go! That's all I can say, go and prepare to be impressed!

The food and drinks are so good! Run don't walk! As a matter of fact, FLY since the restaurant has a flight/airline theme! The staff is on point, friendly and knowledgeable. The menu has some chef recommended plates, and a variety of options. I loved everything I ate! Fried snapper was perfect! The coconut based sauce was a great touch! The beef patty was so flavorful and flaky! You can tell these are hand made. They had ackee tostones for an app! Brilliant! They have outdoor parking and are located in a shopping center.

This place is Absolutely Amazing, service was good and the food was Outstanding, we will be back.

UPDATE: I didn't even finish this review before my partner & I headed back to Konoko for a late lunch. What I love most is that everybody remembers us! How cool is that. The woman who led us to our table even mentioned, "I think this is where I sat you last time". That's what this place is all about!______________This restaurant was so good. I had to come back the same week. I attended a Yelp Elite event. I brought a friend and it had the same vibe! We felt right at home and I was able to order some of the things I saw on the menu previously but didn't get the opportunity to order.For example: This time I ordered the Salmon. I also ordered the Island Gal which is my favorite cocktail there. My partner ordered the rum punch and she REALLY enjoyed it. I'm not into rum, but it tasted okay.My partner had the curry goat (the second time) and the lamb chops (the third visit). She enjoyed both! All I can say is, this is our new spot. It's all about the vibe and family feels. You really need to come check it out and be a part of the family!

I've been here a few time and I tally like it. It's though I've never made reservations in order to get the full experience, the bar has been enjoyable and friendly. I typically get the oxtails (always consistent and fall off the bone). Drinks I've tried are the Bob Marley (and little sweet but a beautiful tasty cocktail). Recently tried the One Love. It's a larger drink but the melon flavor is too overpowering for me. Came on a Sunday and there was a DJ that played a mix of music. It was a good little vibe.
