Last night we ordered a take-out from Jamaican Empire (located in East Trenton, between North Clinton and North Olden avenues) and we are happy to report that the food was good.

Oxtails are flavored good but are mostly bone and fat. If you guys think it’s ok to serve a customer a beef patty this old and nasty it makes me questions anything you serve. Lost a customer.

Okay so I order rice and peas with jerk chicken. First let me say I was never a fan of oven jerk chicken. It look more like brown stew chicken. So that was a no no for me. Now for the taste and quality. The chicken tasted ok because it had the jerk spices. The rice and peas was hard and the gravy taste weird kinda like buttery. The cabbage was not A1 either. As a Jamaican I was disappointed of the taste. A real Jamaican that grew up in Jamaica would not approve of this. I couldn’t finish the meal

I just ordered medium curry goat and medium oxtail with ripe plantains. Firstly and sadly , the rice was like soup because of oxtail oil, literally the rice was soaked with oil or gravy , plantains were burnt outside inside was not fry and it was soaked with oil , first time ordering , I know oxtail is expensive so I won’t argue about the the two dwarf oxtail bone ( not meat that I got ) , disappointed after having a long day at work I wanted to treat my self with this meal.. curry mutton looked like prison food the mutton look as if it wasn’t properly prepared it was red like blood is in it . The rice was drowned in gravy . My stomach is upset . I’m sorry but I had to review this , I was not please . Please have a staff meeting .

Ordered jerk Clinton beef patty and baked mac and cheese. Order came it was completely wrong. I received oxtail, rice and some vegetables that to be honest they were unrecognizable.

My wife (Jamaican) had the oxtail, rice and peas, mac and cheese, and cabbage. She gave her meal a solid 7 out of 10. I (US) had the jerk chicken and mac and cheese. I gave my meal a solid 8 out of 10. Here’s the bad part. We bought a beef patty and it was obvious it had sat all day. I can only give it a 3 out of 10. I must say out of many different Jamaican restaurants we’ve been to, and outside of being in Jamaica, this has to be the most authentic food out there. We will return.

The food was excellent! I had the red snapper with rice and beans, cabbage, and plantains. My son had the curry goat, rice & beans, and cabbage. I don’t eat meat but my son loved his food everything was so flavorful and needed no extra seasoning. They also make their own juices which was also very good.

Ordered the oxtail with mac and cheese and steamed vegetables. So good! That oxtail was tender and super flavorful. Loved it. The Mac and cheese was okay on its own, but paired really well with the saucy oxtail. The veggies were good too.

This brown stew fish is nothing I had before. I’m use to the snapper with head on and bones. These were fish cutlets that was not snapper fish. No bones in sight. Rice and peas had no taste at all. No words for the Mac and Cheese. No words at all. Such a disappointment. I threw it is the trash.
