I had a one-plate lunch, and the jerk chicken was amazing. It was pretty spicy, but it paired perfectly with the coconut milk-scented rice, providing just the right level of satisfaction. The atmosphere inside was calming, and it seemed like a great place to go for drinks in the evening. Thank you for the meal!

I was actually considering another restaurant, but since I was in Ebisu, I decided to look for something nearby and came across this place, so I decided to check it out. It’s located along Meiji Street, roughly between Ebisu and Hiroo. Around 12 PM, there were two groups ahead of me (more customers came after). Ordering was done through a QR code. I had the special plate (1500 yen) which included jerk chicken, ital stew, rice and peas, a salad, french fries, and something called festival, which is a fried bread made from cornmeal (it’s supposed to be sweeter than hush puppies), plus pickled carrots piled high! After about 10 minutes, the food was served. The salad had fried onions as an accent and the pickled carrots had a crunchy texture that I enjoyed! The french fries were the type that are cut and deep-fried, and they were delicious. The ital stew was packed with sweet potato, cabbage, bell peppers, carrots, okra, and lots of other veggies. The natural sweetness from the sweet potato and coconut milk was delightful. This dish was good, but I found a bottle of Grace’s very hot sauce on the table and decided to spice it up. The flavor was similar to Tabasco with a tangy aroma, which I’m not a huge fan of. Even though I’m not vegan, the stew tasted best with this sauce. The rice and peas had a stronger coconut milk flavor than I prefer and were softer than I like (I prefer those from One Love in Shimokitazawa or Good Wood Terrace in Shibuya). The jerk chicken had a spicy seasoning aroma but was a bit dry in texture. I left the restaurant feeling full and decided to take a stroll back to Shibuya (the walk was quite nice).

Mexico?! Jamaica?! Texas?! It was a stylish restaurant with a vibe like that. I visited for lunch for the first time. The food was great, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was perfect—everything was just right! However, for those born in the Showa era, using the QR code for ordering was quite a challenge.汗

On a weekday, I casually stopped by with a friend (*^^*)♪ The exterior has a distinctly American vibe, reminding me of Texas!!♪♪♪ The interior feels like something out of a Western movie, making it a lot of fun♡ I enjoyed a Corona beer that matched the atmosphere and had just a light cheese platter. The staff were very friendly, and the place was almost full with regular customers having a great time. I saw them enjoying a big chicken, which looked really delicious (´ρ`)♡ The restaurant isn’t very large, so I wish I could have taken more photos! I also really wanted to try that chicken!♡♡♡ Thank you for the meal!♡ - Cheese platter: The milder Camembert cheese, a tangy blue cheese, a simple creamy cheese, and a saltier Gouda cheese, all paired with crispy baguette♪ - The Corona was ice-cold, served in a bottle!! I enjoyed it with lime, feeling refreshed with that golden juice in one go! This place apparently serves Jamaican cuisine! Haha

I happened to pass by with a friend and decided to go in because it caught my eye. It seems to be a Jamaican restaurant. I had a Corona beer and a cheese platter. The meat dishes at the next table looked really delicious (*´ч`*). The staff was kind and helpful, so I would like to come back and enjoy it more leisurely if I get the chance (*^^*). Thank you for the meal!

The jerk chicken was 980 yen. I checked out a place that had been renovated and seemed to serve jerk chicken and more. I haven't had jerk chicken since I tried it a long time ago at a place called Alawai in Ebisu. At that time, I didn’t have a negative impression, but it did have a strange flavor. This time, I found the spices to be effective, but not spicy, and it had a smoky quality that’s hard to describe. Because the seasoning was mainly on the surface rather than throughout the meat, I surprisingly found it quite refreshing and delicious. The rice had a hint of coconut milk and beans, giving it a Caribbean feel that paired well with the dish. I’m not usually fond of coconut flavor, but the subtlety in this case was delightful. The atmosphere inside the restaurant felt like a bar in a seaside vacation destination, and the manager had a charming vibe. It was great to have a satisfying culinary exploration after a long time. If it had been my first experience with jerk chicken, I might have found it puzzling, but I can see how some people might grow to like it after trying it two or three times. I’m reminded that understanding unfamiliar things, whether it’s food or people, often requires an update of our own perceptions. I’d love to go again.

First visit. This store has a high turnover rate. It's a prefab-like shop along Meiji Street. I was looking for a healthy lunch and found a chicken main set! The salad and rice also contain soybeans, making it very healthy. I'm really happy with this lunch. I’ll definitely come back.

Today it's been clear and sunny since morning. I always think about this—Saturdays are too sunny. My days off are on Monday, and the weather isn't great, which lowers my motivation for mountain climbing. Climbing Mount Fuji is getting closer, so I plan to go hiking tomorrow and the day after. It's hot, and for lunch today at work, I'm at a place I’ve visited once before. Today, I ordered extra jerk chicken. Here it comes! The chicken pieces are generous. First, I take a bite. The spices are flavorful and delicious. Today, I drench it in hot pepper sauce. It's so good! The tartness makes it refreshing, and the chicken itself is relatively mild, making it just right. Jerk chicken on a hot day is the best. I decided to skip the beer since I'm working. Thank you for the meal!

Once upon a time, there was a famous jerk chicken and pork restaurant called Alawi in Ebisu, frequented even by the Jamaican embassy, and I haven't encountered anything that surpasses it since. However, since there aren't many places that serve jerk chicken, I visited this shop with some expectations. I personally prefer lighter flavors, so my evaluation might be biased, and I ask for your understanding in advance. The presentation looked good, and the prices were reasonable, but unfortunately, the jerk chicken itself was made from chicken breast, lacking in flavor, and it was too salty, making it completely unpalatable. The fries were well-cooked, but they were also overly salty, which was disappointing. The rice had cracked beans, giving a sense of carelessness, though it didn't taste bad. The vegetables were dressed with a strong dressing that overwhelmed their natural flavors, but there was a generous portion.

The cherry blossoms in Tokyo have all bloomed. I still have some muscle soreness from my hike on Sunday, but today’s lunch is from a place that serves jerk chicken, which I’ve been curious about for a while. If you love jerk chicken, there’s no reason not to go. As I entered, the interior was neat and tidy. For lunch, I ordered the special plate, which features jerk chicken and ital stew as the main dishes. When it arrived, it looked great and had a good volume. First up was the chicken. The spices were just right and it was sliced in a way that made it easy to eat—delicious! The ital stew had a milder spice flavor but was packed with vegetables, which I really liked. There were also fried potatoes, pickles, and a variety of sides, which were enjoyable. I added some habanero and ketchup to the chicken midway through, and it was fantastic. The rice was a flavorful mixed rice. I really enjoyed my meal. I’m glad I came today; I want to eat here again. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I visited a Jamaican restaurant for lunch, located about an 8-minute walk from Ebisu Station along Meiji Avenue towards Hiroo, near Shibuya Bridge. The restaurant has a resort-like atmosphere that feels surprisingly serene for being in the city, and the interior is very clean. Here, you can enjoy authentic Jamaican cuisine, so I ordered the jerk chicken plate! The jerk chicken was crispy and fragrant on the outside, with a spicy and delicious flavor. You can add your choice of ketchup or habanero sauce. The bean rice was unique, and the potatoes were fluffy and tasty! Additionally, I received fried bread as a complimentary item; it was freshly fried, crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside, making it delicious as well! ------ • Jerk Chicken Plate: ¥980 • Iced Coffee: ¥550

I was taken by my senior to try Jamaican cuisine for the first time. The spices on the chicken were really delicious. The rice had a unique taste that was also very good. The staff provided polite service, which was excellent. I would love to go back if I'm in Hiroo again.

I listened to the radio and decided to visit today during my lunch break. It's an area I don’t usually go to, but if they have jerk chicken, it’s worth the trip, so I drove there. The presentation was beautiful, and I was satisfied with the taste as well. I enjoyed a delicious lunch and was very happy.

"When one door closes, many more doors open." - Bob Marley Today, I'm visiting the Caribbean Restaurant Sunny Cafe, located about a 5-minute skip from Ebisu Station along Meiji Street. It opened on February 9, 2024, and welcomes individuals for everything from casual cafe use to authentic Jamaican cuisine. The name comes from the previous establishment in this location, Sunny Cafe. Opening hours are from 11:30 AM to last order, and it's closed on Mondays. You can reach them at 03-6456-2217. I visited during a warm weekday afternoon, a perfect sunny day that feels like spring! I’ve arrived at this newly opened restaurant, and it’s interesting to note that countries starting with JA are Japan and Jamaica. Both are dream islands, one floating in Asia and the other in the Caribbean. The location requires a bit of a walk from the station, although it’s not far from Hiroo Station either. As it just opened, there are beautiful celebratory flowers around. I recognized the previous establishment, but I learned that it’s entirely different from before, even though they kept the name. Respect! The interior has sunlight streaming in from above near the entrance, giving off a vibe reminiscent of seaside boat restaurants in Kingston. However, deeper inside, there’s a more subdued bar-like atmosphere. The decor lacks overt Jamaican flags or reggae items, giving it a pleasantly local feel. It feels like a Jamaican bistro. I was told I could sit anywhere I wanted and chose a table. The staff was very polite and attentive, and the BGM was, of course, reggae music—perfect! I placed my order using a QR code, but it wasn’t responsive, so I ordered verbally instead. They accept cashless payment options; while PayPay isn’t accepted, iD is available. The restroom is in the shared space of the building to the left once you exit. Today, I ordered the Jerk Chicken for 980 yen. When I asked the staff to show me a picture from the menu, I found the presentation humorous, reminiscent of a "hostess club." I decided to go with this simple choice. Shortly after, it arrived, and the chef kindly included a Jamaican Ital Stew as a service. When I told the staff, "Ya man," a brother from the kitchen appeared for a fist bump greeting—what fun! Let’s dig in! The plate looks scrumptious—one love! The salad consists of large-cut leaves that I chewed on wildly. The Ital Stew, which is a vegetarian Jamaican dish, tasted somewhat like a curry. Delicious! Thank you! Now for the jerk chicken—it’s the real deal. I savored its flavor quietly. It’s not watery at all; it’s been grilled to a nice dryness. While I enjoy a watery seasoning sauce too, this one had a nice blend of spices. The chicken appears to be breast meat, which can be a bit dry, but I enjoyed it even when I spiced it up. The rice was mixed with peas, known as rice and peas. I finished every last bite! I’m thrilled to have had Jamaican cuisine, which is healthy and reasonably priced. I highly recommend this place and will definitely return. See you again! Thank you for the meal! Taku-mon is passing by, take care!

I had fallen in love with Jamaican food when I visited Jamaica, and I've tried various restaurants and food trucks in Japan, but finally, I found the real deal at this new place in Hiroo. Everything was delicious, starting with the jerk chicken and including the sides and salads—especially the stew, which was surprisingly amazing! The ambiance of the restaurant is also very upscale, making it suitable for families. I heard that in the evenings, it transforms into a bar style, offering a good selection of food and drinks, so I’m considering coming back at night.

I had a jerk chicken set. It's a bit spicy and delicious. I hadn't had any since the famous jerk chicken restaurant Al-Awi in Ebisu closed, but now I've found a place where I can enjoy tasty jerk chicken. I want to visit again at night next time. By the way, this used to be a curry shop, right? Haha!

Everything was incredibly delicious!

The chicken was incredibly delicious! The carnival bread is also tasty!
