Kreyol

Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe Kreyol as a place where authentic Haitian flavors shine, with fans praising the griot, fried chicken, beans, macaroni salad, rice, plantains, and generous portions that make meals feel comforting and satisfying. The experience is celebrated as a hidden gem by some visitors who value the bold, well seasoned dishes and warm, respectful staff.

Delivery experiences are mentioned as problematic by some, while others are drawn back by reasonable prices and the ability to feed a crowd. Distance or feasibility of ordering again keeps some from returning, but the consensus leans toward appreciation for authentic Haitian cuisine and the overall positive impression when the kitchen prioritizes freshness and consistency.View restaurant profile

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
