Hungry Joe's Burgers & Jamaican Restaurant

Ackee breakfast is fire, just a little bit on the pricey side! Parking is very tight!

They call this place a "restaurant," but it's really just a fast food stand with very limited seating.The staff's attitude wasn't very friendly.The food was much more disappointing compared to the good reviews I had read. I ordered two dishes, Brown Stew Chicken and Jerk Chicken, but they gave me two portions that tasted exactly the same, likely due to a mix-up. Both chicken dishes seemed like boiled chicken with sauce poured on top.What's dangerous is that the sauce contained a lot of small chicken bone fragments, and if you're not careful, you could choke on them.The only positive point is that the portions were quite large.Also, be careful when they calculate your bill. I ordered two small portions, but they charged me for one large portion while I wasn't paying attention. I noticed it later but decided to let it go to avoid an argument.

* I really want to give 3.7 stars...I recently tried the goat curry takeout from Hungry Joe's on La Brea, and it was seriously delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful, though I have to caution that there were quite a few sharp bone shards mixed in--definitely something to watch out for. Still, the taste was spot on. The fried plantains also deserve a special shout-out: I'm usually not a fan, but theirs were perfectly sweet, crisp at the edges, and incredibly satisfying. Service-wise, these folks are fantastic--they seem to know their regulars by name, which gives the place a comfortable, welcoming vibe. Can't wait to go back and try their burgers, jerk chicken, and maybe even the salmon next time around!

Been craving a good Jamaican beef and chicken patty. Growing up in NYC I'm no stranger to Jamaican food, so when I read the good reviews for this place I was excited. My excitement was short lived when I had to deal with the girl at the counter who seemed so miserable. Patties I ordered were a Chicken Curry, Beef and Cheese, and a Jerk Chicken. I am happy to report that all of them were SO good and much better than expected! At the same time, I can't believe a Jamaican Patty is now $4.50...insane! Unfortunately, I don't think I want to rush back or may never return. The girl taking my order had such a SHITTY attitude! In this day and age where competition is fierce and prices are so inflated, a business should not allow for such lousy customer service. An individual like that can make or break a business.

Omg their oxtails fall off the bone! WOW! The service . Friendly cashiers and informative regarding the food! Will be back sooner than later!

Food will come out slower than you'd expect from other restaurants, so I highly recommend ordering your food ahead of time if you don't want to wait. Limited outdoor seating and parking. We came a bit early for Saturday lunch and didn't have any issue finding either but there was a continuous stream of people coming to get food here. Overall, friendly service and good food. Both the jerk chicken and ackee saltfish were well seasoned and both matched well with a soda. The saltfish dish tastes like a cold weather or feeling ill kind of meal for me.

My first time trying the food here as my other Jamaican spot closed. Con -The food was really really bland. My husband had the jerk chicken and agreed the food lacked flavoring. The oxtails were super fatty hardly any meat at all. The rice was soggy on one side were the oxtails were and dry on the other side. I ate half of it and trashed the rest.Pros -The veggies were ok. The oxtails n chicken were tender. The plantains were cooked perfectly and were sweet n soft. Will not be a repeat customer.

Gonna Assume they have a new cook today. This is usually my go to Jamaican food spot! THE best to me... Anywho I ordered my usual Large Brown Stew Chicken (All white meat) looks like they're now SKIMPING on the chicken. For darn near $25 imma need more meat next time!.:..

This place does not live up to the hype. I visited for the first time and tried their curry chicken. The chicken was not cooked thoroughly and lacked flavor. I've had much better Jamaican food in the Inglewood area.

I love their food, authentic Jamaican, but it was a big miss for me today Their Escoveitch was a big disappointment. If you like Escoveitch the best in my opinion and several others is from A Beautiful life in DTLA.
