Jamaican Chinese fusion, known for jerk chicken & patties
"In a huge strip mall in northeast Kendall, you’ll find Jamaica Kitchen, a narrow and mostly takeout spot with a few outdoor tables. Jamaica Kitchen is a Chinese-Jamaican restaurant, which explains why their jerk pork fried rice is so excellent. You’ll also find pretty classic dishes here, like some very good jerk chicken that’s never too dry. Grab a peanut punch on your way out, and you’ve got yourself a fantastic lunch or dinner." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

"You’ll find Jamaica Kitchen in the middle of a massive strip mall with no shortage of free parking. The restaurant is a narrow and mostly to-go spot with a few outdoor tables. Jamaica Kitchen is a Chinese-Jamaican restaurant, a delicious and not uncommon pairing in Jamaica. They have Chinese dishes like shrimp fried rice and foo gua. But you’ll still find pretty classic Jamaican dishes here too, like some very good jerk chicken and patties. That, along with a peanut punch, is our go-to order here." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"In the mood for some Caribbean flavors? Look no further than Jamaica Kitchen, the go-to spot in Miami for Jamaican favorites like jerk chicken, curry goat, and beef patties, all without breaking the bank. For a twist, try the curry chicken—it’s a game changer." - Eater Staff
"Jamaica Kitchen has been handing patties to customers from the same location since 1976. They’ve had the same patty chef since 1986, so needless to say, customers can count on consistency. They serve seven different patties—beef (spicy/mild/cheesy), chicken (curry/jerk), spinach, and vegetable—and while their patties don’t have the flakiest crust, they still have a nice crunch and are thick enough to hold the fillings in place as you eat. A red dot on the top of the crust will remind you that you picked a spicy one, so proceed with caution." - yolande clark jackson
