    Yo I first want to say I have never in my life written an online review. The only reason why I am writing this is because so far this is the ONLY real Jamaican spot I been to in the entire SOCAL Everything from head to toe of this place is exactly how it should be and reminds me of my childhood spots in Toronto . Brought my friends from back home and when they tried it the same thing THE REAL JERK SPOT

    The Jerk Spot, located on the edge of Culver City, is a gem for those seeking authentic Jamaican flavors. This cozy eatery offers a culinary journey with its signature dish, the jerk chicken. The chicken is marinated in a blend of traditional spices and slow-cooked to perfection, resulting in tender, juicy meat that falls off the bone. The spicy kick of the jerk seasoning is balanced by the smoky char from the grill, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate. The plantains served alongside are a sweet counterpoint to the spicy chicken. Fried to a golden brown, they are caramelized on the outside with a soft, creamy interior, making them an irresistible side dish that complements the bold jerk flavors. But the true star of the show is The Jerk Spot's jerk sauce. This secret concoction is a fiery blend of spices that packs a punch without overwhelming the senses.

    I hadn't had much exposure to Jamaican cuisine (with the exception of jerk chicken years ago), and I was keen on trying the food again. I ordered a plate of oxtail stew with rice and beans and plantains, as well as a chicken curry patty and sorrel drink. I ordered to-go and picked it up at the establishment. The restaurant is small, with maybe three or so tables inside; I figure most customers just order to-go or delivery. The sorrel drink was my favorite: cold, zesty, and refreshing, especially on a warm day. The chicken curry patty was pretty good, with a hearty crust and a filling with a decent spicy kick; I only wished there was more filling inside. Oxtail plate was massive, enough to fill three meals: the meat was tender and fall-off-the-bone: however, it was extremely salty and the rice and beans were bland. Wasn't my favorite of the three items I got, but I appreciated the portions. Overall, decent establishment for some Jamaican food. Maybe I'll try the jerk chicken sometime!
