Reviews of Wah Gwaan jamaican kitchen & Bar
"Stepping into Wah Gwaan Jamaican Kitchen & Bar is akin to a direct portal to the heart of Kingston, where the vibrant spirit of Jamaica comes alive through its culinary delights. On my recent visit, the establishment not only captivated me with its ambiance but left an indelible mark through its gastronomic offerings, particularly the jerk chicken plate and the pineapple upside-down cake. The jerk chicken plate was a masterclass in balance and flavor. The chicken itself, succulent and tender to the fork, was adorned with a spice blend that spoke of generations of culinary heritage. This wasn't just heat for the sake of heat; it was a thoughtful composition of spices that danced on the palate, invoking a smile with each bite. The smokiness, a hallmark of authentic jerk cuisine, was present and perfectly paired with the subtle char of the grill. Accompaniments on the plate complemented the chicken beautifully, creating a harmonious blend of tastes and textures that transported me straight to the island's vibrant beaches and bustling streets. Dessert was a delightful journey with the pineapple upside-down cake. This dish was a testament to the chef's prowess in transforming simple ingredients into a dessert that was both comforting and sophisticated. The cake was moist, with the pineapple lending a sweet, tangy counterpoint to the caramelized sugar. It was a brilliant close to the meal, encapsulating the essence of Jamaican warmth and hospitality. Wah Gwaan Jamaican Kitchen & Bar excels not only in its culinary creations but in its ability to create an experience that feels both authentic and welcoming. The staff's attentiveness and the kitchen's dedication to authentic Jamaican flavors make it a must-visit for anyone seeking to indulge in the rich tapestry of Caribbean cuisine. As a food critic who has traversed many culinary landscapes, Wah Gwaan stands out as a beacon of Jamaican gastronomy, inviting one and all to revel in its flavors, one delicious bite at a time."
"Visited yesterday with 2 friends for lunch based on a recommendation of a friend who is from LA. Walking up, you can smell and see their grill in the back and it’s comforting to know they’re authentically grilling their chicken. I ordered the Large plate with curry chicken and oxtail with the intent to have some for later. One friend ordered the large oxtail plate and the other ordered the small/medium jerked chicken. The oxtail were well flavored and tender. Loved my curry chicken. The portions were huge. I ate off my plate in 3 servings. The rice was good but a little more moist/gummy than I’m used to (which I could tell from the cooking pan) with Jamaican food but with oxtail gravy over it, it was perfect. The cabbage was complimentary solid side. Great plantains!!! I also ordered two patties to try. The jerk chicken was okay, but the beef patty perfect! I like spice! My friend said her jerked chicken was great and she loved the rice. We also liked the little cornbread roll (don’t know what it’s called). And her smaller plate still had leftovers too. Oh, and we each ordered the ginger pineapple juice. I expected it to be less sweet. We all agreed that it was very sweet and concentrated. You could definitely taste the ginger though, which I loved. It almost seems like it has mango juice in it or perhaps some kind of artificial pineapple juice. Still good nonetheless. I added water to mine and it was perfect. The owner (Sadie, I believe) was warm and kind. They have the food laid out behind a glass so you can see the food. They prepare the plates and hand it to you. It’s small inside with bar style, high chairs. Outside is nice for seating. Very small seats however. I just propped my foot on the table base to secure myself and was fine. It’s hard to find good Jamaican food being that I live in Pasadena, so I’m glad to have found this place and it was good! I’ll definitely be revisiting soon."
"I'm sure you're wondering why only 4 stars?? The only reason is because i feel as though i do not get enough oxtails when i order the large plate. Everytime, i have ordered from here - i am never disappointed. The food is always of great quality with the perfect amount of love and seasoning. The festival is the bomb too! The family also makes homemade drinks. The pineapple ginger is my fave! The restaurant is always clean and it gives me a mini feel of being in jamaica! I also truly appreciate the fact that they never run out of food."
