Boom J's Cuisine was established on April 2013 in Pointe – Saint - Charles 2026 Wellington Montreal Quebec, and has been voted the second best Caribbean Restaurant in Montreal! "Taste the difference", Boom Js offers the best Jamaican food jerk chicken cooked on an authentic drum imported from Kingston Jamaica. "We love it when people come here for the first time seeking new flavors." he says,"We're a unique restaurant and diners feel the true spirit of Jamaica in our cuisine, Our decor and Our service." Offering Jamaican staples like Jerk chicken, Curried goat, Oxtail, Roti Jamaican, King fish, Jamaican Patties, Coco bread, Ackee and Salt Fish and many more classic Island dishes.
Boom J's Cuisine shows bold jerk flavors and comforting Jamaican fare, with curry goat and rice and peas and oxtail delivering flavorful, tender results and generous portions, while beef roti and patties draw mixed feedback and one visit felt bland or overly salty. A standout is a jerk chicken poutine that some say changed the game, and the place tends toward a low key, takeout vibe with friendly staff and big portions for the price. Service can be hit or miss, with slow or unclear communication and occasional order mix ups, even as other reviews praise warmth and consistency. Overall the restaurant offers solid options and authentic vibes, with jerk chicken and oxtail often highlighted, though quality and experience can vary by day and dish.
I thought it was pretty good, but the fact they serve the chicken undercooked without knowing is very concerning. They didn't even apologize when I showed it them, like it was my fault or something. Ppl can get very sick & they don't seem worried at all when I showed him the raw chicken.

Underwhelming experience We felt cheated on in the portions, among our large order, We asked for large oxtail platters in which to our surprise looks like the regular size. Two out if those platters had also barely any oxtail in it mainly potato & carrot. The pineapple chicken portions were good. The food taste wise was fine. Just wont be ordering back here for oxtail. Portion & taste wise for that Id rather go elsewhere. We also purchased beef patties, in which we enjoyed far more than the oxtail.
Jerked chicken rotti is still my favorite here. Been coming here for 5 years & I have to say, quality is consistent! (Beware for those who are afraid of shards of bones in their meal... It's the hasard for ordering delicious $12 jerked chicken rotti)
J'ai opté pour le Jerk Chicken en format extra c'était très copieux mais le goût m'a déçu.. c'est bon mais je ne retrouve pas le goût du Jerk comme on le mange en Jamaïque. Ça reste néanmoins une bonne adresse 😊
I went to get food from this place about 45 minutes before they closed in February & I was not happy with the service AT ALL! I entered the restaurant & was pretyy tu much ignored for a few minutes & then I order a a small jerk chicken plate. I was made to feel like I was interrupting the closing routine & they seemed annoyed I was there. I waited about 15-minutes to get the plate & I saw them in the pack touching the Jerk Chicken with their bare hands, no gloves & I didn't see the wash their hands either. I was shocked so I took the food, paid & left but hand no intentions of eating it. I emailed the restaurant that night & this was almost 2 months ago letting them know what happened & still no reply. I guess I was "bothering" them by sending an email about the unsanitary habits of their employees putting their hands all over my food. Seriously do better & I am all for supporting small businesses but not if my concerns will be ignored.
Ordered chicken roti & veggie patty 3x from uber eats. 5 stars each time. My suggestion is to add rice & peas as a side dish to your menu. If its already there it needs to be easier to find or it needs to be suggested before I check out. Thanks Boom J!

Jerk chicken, plantain & rice are amazing. The rum cake was good as well but a bit dry on the thick part of the cake. 5/5 for the price: Jamaican Patty, Large Jerk chicken (includes 2 legs) & a slice of cake for $35 taxes included!
This was my favourite place when I moved here 3 years ago but in the last year they have really succumbed to shrinkflation like many other restaurants. Food quality has gone down, serving size gone down, jerk chicken is not spiced, rice is dry, they only give one slice of plantain in a combo, & price has increased about 30-40% depending on the dish. I wouldn't mind the higher price point if the quality was still there. I miss the old Boom Js.
Rice: I feel like I'm eating clove by the spoon. That's ALL it taste. Chicken: well cooked, but dry. Barely any taste There's 2 things that wants to be called plantin in there, but it simply should not exist. No sauce, no nothing. Everything is just very dry. The chicken pate was VERY good tho, but still very little chicken & way too much pastry.
I'm hooked on their jerk chicken. I didn't believe chicken can taste this good. The plantain was sweet, but the riz had no taste & was dry. The chicken patties aren't good FYI.
Food was on point, service was a little average as I had repeat my order a few times (1 jerk chicken & 3 patties) & the person at the counter almost forgot 3/4 of my order until I reminded him.
The food has always been delicious each time I've had it. Jerk chicken... stewed chicken... serviced with rice & peas, plantain. Awesome! I can't wait to go back!
