Restaurant Top Pick

Boom J's Cuisine

(161)

Pointe St-Charles

Caribbean Exotic

Review Summary

Reviews show Boom J's Cuisine delivering hearty portions and crowd pleasing options like jerk chicken and oxtail, with some praise for affordable prices and friendly service. Yet the sentiment is mixed, with several mentions of bland or uneven roti and patties, gravy that tasted like it had sat for days, and rice that seemed microwaved. Some meals are described as well seasoned and flavorful, while others are criticized for being too sweet, too salty, or not meeting traditional Jamaican expectations. Service experiences vary, including slow or unclear communication on orders, though other visits highlight helpful staff and quick pickup. The overall takeaway is that quality and consistency appear variable, but many reviewers would still return for the core dishes and big portions.View restaurant profile

Takeout/Counter

Chef Jo

Review Summary

Across the reviews Chef Jo is described as a Haitian restaurant with strong home style flavors and generous portions, featuring well seasoned meats, tasty rice, and sides like plantains and pikliz; service is generally praised for friendliness and responsiveness, and many diners appreciate the value and welcoming atmosphere. However the experience is clearly mixed: long waits and uneven execution, with some dishes arriving underseasoned, the rice sometimes dull, and fried plantains appearing greasy, and the djon djon rice sometimes lacking depth. One reviewer notes the kitchen often feels like a one person operation, which can affect polish and consistency, while others report satisfying meals and reliable delivery. On balance the restaurant demonstrates real potential and has delivered delicious flavors at times, but outcomes vary enough that it may be worth trying with that caveat.View restaurant profile
