Abeautifullife Jamaican Kitchen

My cousin and I go out every year for Valentine's Day and we decided on this restaurant. I am very happy we picked this one because it was fantastic. The restaurant had a nice date night vibe with the music, dimly lit, and the relaxing vibe atmosphere. When we entered we were offered a complimentary glass of champagne and showed to our seats. I didn't catch our servers name but the server had burgundy locs and was so helpful and polite!! I'll definitely be asking for that server again!Regarding the food; we got the oxtail Mac and cheese, jerk lamb chops, and shrimp egg rolls. I have to say each item was delicious! The extra plus that enjoyed that every single item was scorching hot when it came to our table. The oxtail was tender and falling off of the bone. They also give you at least four oxtails which I was happy about. The jerk lamb chops were tender as well with the right amount of spice for me. I enjoyed the egg rolls too, I do plan on trying a different protein filling. Overall, we plan on coming back to try the brunch because that section of the menu seemed very inviting. This is definitely a place to try and just for the oxtail alone!

Let me just start by saying I'm glad this place is right in the middle of little Tokyo. Something about mixing cultures just fills my cup. Diamond was great she was attentive, kind and very personable. Ambiance was good I liked the music playing with the music videos in the background. We ordered quite a few staples: Mac n Cheese Ox tails. Wow! The Ox tail plate with rice beans and cabbage, Yummy! The lamb: I knew was good because my partner didn't even offer Lol. I did try to order the "Hot Girl Summer Salad" but it is not in season. I guess a reason to come back. Jamaican Beef Pattie: Satisfying, flaky the beef was just right. Parking isn't hard you can look for St parking or park at one of the nearest pay for parking lots. I would also like to add maybe make the menu brighter and bolder Lol I can't see. Overall Thank you guys, I'll see you again later.

If you plan on trying to place out, i highly suggest you Uber here because parking sucks lol. Took us 30 minutes to find parking. We decided to come here because of few videos we saw hyping the place up. I'm going to assume this place is active only during brunch because we went for dinner & it was empty empty. Staff was 10/10, super nice and attentive.Now the restaurant needs some TLC. The bathroom had no toilet paper, no seat covers and dead water roaches on the floor. That just threw the cleanliness vibe off for me for the whole restaurant.As for the food, it was ok, I've had better Jamaican food 5/10 for my liking. We got dessert to go just to discover one of the cheesecakes had mold on it. Definitely would not be going back.

First time here, not too far from LA District. We had another couple with us. Our hostess was great, we ordered several things. Overall we had a great experience, food was great!, will definitely go back!

This establishment could have potential . Experience wasn't the greatest went on a Sunday for brunch for my friends birthday . Took 30 minutes for us to get water or for someone to acknowledge us after we sat down . Literally only three people working and the place wasn't even crowded . Friends ordered Oxtails were fatty and only came with two. Cabbage bland and only got a half of scoop of mashed potatoes . I ordered the curry chicken came in a little container with not much meat . Nice ambience but won't be coming back .

I recently visited A Beautiful Life Jamaican Kitchen and had a mixed experience. The atmosphere was fantastic--the DJ set the perfect vibe, and the drinks were on point. A special shoutout to our waitress, who was incredibly friendly and even bought a round of shots for our table, joining in on the fun with us.Now, onto the food. My Jamaican beef patty with oxtail gravy was phenomenal. The flavors were spot on, and I savored every bite. However, the Rasta pasta was a major disappointment. The noodles were overcooked, and the chicken tasted like it was old. It seemed like the dish had been microwaved, as the sides were scorched. Unfortunately, it was missing the bold flavors I was expecting from a dish like this. I also felt like the prices were extremely high for the quality of food. Overall, while the vibes and service were great, the inconsistency in the food was a letdown. I hope they can work on perfecting all their dishes because the potential is definitely there.

This place is the best Jamaican restaurant in all of Los Angeles!! The decor is beautiful and I feel like I'm in Jamaica!! The staff is super friendly and attentive and wow, best customer service I have seen in a while.The food is delicious and great portions! The jerk chicken is super delicious and their garlic fries are so good!! I also got a cocktail which was super yummy! It was a fruit punch one it was so refreshing! Thank you, Aja and the guy that was severing me he was super nice! I recommend this place to everyone!! I am so blessed to be at this establishment. See you guys soon!

Love me some Jamaican food! Love that this place has festival! Oxtail was good and flavorful. Rice + Peas + plantains + mac and cheese were a bit dry :/. Was not a fan of the Bob Marley drink. Looks pretty though. Nice location.Parking: Street Metered parking/ parking lots around.

this has to be one of the worst experiences I've ever had in the food service industry. Came here with a group of four. Server came over and started taking our order and then walked away in the middle of us making our choices. Servers never came and checked on us. food took over two hours to come out. we got here at 1:30 and didn't leave until five because the food took so long. overall, this was honestly the worst experience I've ever had at any restaurant in LA! I go out of my way to support black owned businesses, but this was BAD. worst part is the gratuity is included in the bill so I had no choice but to tip . save your money.

I came here for my birthday brunch. We didn't get water or service until 40 minutes later. Our waiter was HIGH and so slow. Took forever to bring anything. It wasn't even crowded, maybe 4 tables? 2 waiters. Food came out, my TWO oxtails were full of FAT. my mom's Mac n cheese with oxtails were salty. A slither of mashed potato's. Rice and peas were nasty like it was old. Asked for hot sauce and the waiter said there's only 1 hot sauce in the whole establishment. The bathrooms were so dark, no toilet seat covers or paper towels. Our regular waiter.. well She never came and asked us about our food. She had headphones in her ear the whole time. And to top it off, THE NERVE AND AUDACITY TO ADD 18% GRATUITY!!!! Absolutely the hell not. I'm so mad this place was recommended by my sister in law who is friends with the owner. Such a disappointment.
