    Overall Island Grill has a great chain of restaurants. This location is by far one of my favourites. The staff works really fast at this location so there is hardly ever a long wait. Additionally the customer service is really good here, always so pleasant and very friendly. Moreover I like whole setting of this location, it's a bit different from the others more rustic and giving that old time vibe.

    Came in at 9:35pm almost closing time and so the festivals and ripe plantains were cooked on the spot. Hot an tastey. Jerk nice as always from Island Grill. No crowd. Lots of parking. Cashier charming

    The food was good. Fast service. Cashiers need to show a little more patience.

    The staff is nothing like subway, but the food is good and they served the purpose at the moment.

    (Editing 4 years review)😊🙋🏾‍♂️ Ooook, I took my niece there last night and what's new for me is that there is NO more Wifi password on your receipt🧾 from your purchase order, BUT!😇the wifi is open publicly which is great but it's seem very slow to log into (maybe it's my phone🤔🤷🏾‍♂️) the A/C is still there to make your waiting time a little less irritating/stressing when there's a trendy line to the cashier...there's restroom for both gender and it has two exits/entrances (at the parking area side and the main entrance is the other) there's food for vegans and natural juices such as Beet Root juice, Lemonade & Green juices) High and low chairs plus scenery tables if you'd like to just view the traffic outside🤭

    Consistent quality in food, service is hanging in there, it’s a grab and go place, if you don’t mind crowded at times congested open area to eat, it’s the spot for you.

  • 3/5 Vicious D. 6 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Great food, spacious area but slow staff

  • 4/5 stace g. 3 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Junior Antonio B. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Tamera W. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food and service

  • 5/5 David P. 3 years ago on Google
    god is great

  • 4/5 Diane B. 1 year ago on Google
    The customer service wasn't bad, I like soup so that's what I got, but even that burn my stomach, are y'all using too much MSG on your food.

  • 5/5 Peta-Gaye D. 3 years ago on Google
    Great tasting food...good atmosphere!

  • 4/5 Dannique M. 3 years ago on Google
    The food tastes great!

  • 3/5 D R. 3 years ago on Google
    First visit, won't be my last. A bit pricey. Can't access from the shopping mall which is good and bad. Friendly staff, good service.

  • 5/5 Arthur J. S. 3 years ago on Google
    Omg! The food is great

  • 5/5 Stacy-Ann W. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Daymond H. 4 years ago on Google
    Great Japanese food. Fresh made and delicious. Beautifully arranged plates. What is incredible is that the place transforms to one of the most happening spots in Kingston Nightlife.

  • 1/5 Yanique L. 3 years ago on Google
    Poor service by incompetent staff. Every day they get worse. I only suggest going when it's empty. The Annex location isn't much better, staff would rather chat and idle than pay attention. Been a customer for years but I'll no longer be one.

  • 4/5 Bas 3 years ago on Google
    Chilled ambience, good food👌🏽

  • 4/5 Nicole S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Paulette C. 3 years ago on Google
    The teriyaki shrimps oh my goodness delicious 😋 😍

  • 4/5 Sade P. 3 years ago on Google
    Unbelievably difficult to get to from the underground parking lot. I found it easier after exiting the shopping Centre entirely and entering from outside. Consistently good food. Fresh sushi. Tasty cooked options. Generally overpriced. If decor is important to you, go with the Annex location...The style at this location is eclectic but the finishes are poor so it looks chaotic

  • 4/5 terri s. 3 years ago on Google
    It was pretty and food was good.music was too much for me.

  • 4/5 Natalie R. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice use of space. Decor is eccentric.

  • 5/5 Pea N. 3 years ago on Google
    I have altered my review because this restaurant has made alterations to its service since my last review and I want to honor the improvements that they have made. They organized their menu, the food was still just as great as my first visit. In conclusion, I would highly recommend East Japanes and will definitely be returning!

  • 5/5 MME 3 years ago on Google

    Consistent

  • 4/5 Gimme Da W. 3 years ago on Google
    Food here is ridiculously good but also ridiculously priced. Take it as you will, good food costing good money or just good money overall. Definitely know you gonna be dropping that paper for this dining experience. Nice environment and ambiance overall it's quite a spacious and enjoyable experience overall. Also side note feel free to ask for a fork if you are not chopstick proficient so you don't starve to death while trying to learn how to pick up your food to eat it.

  • 5/5 Tasia-Malyka W. 3 years ago on Google
    Was a good environment and good food

  • 3/5 Big O. 3 years ago on Google
    Very clean place to dine may be a bit costly however, the food is very good.

  • 4/5 Lex N. 3 years ago on Google
    Great service as always. Really miss some of the menu items from Market Place like the Tokyo Noodles, but the Teriyaki Bowl, Kara-Age and spring rolls are some of favourites for a quick grab and go.

  • 4/5 Chris R. 4 years ago on Google
    Service was nice (then again I was there during the slower hours I think). Food came in a timely manner and the portions were good. I went for the ramen but their selection wasnt as varied as the one located in marketplace. Planning to go back and try other things on their menu, so this might change based on that.

  • 4/5 Robert M. 4 years ago on Google
    Had a good time, enjoyed the food and the drinks. It food get a bit loud toward the end of our evening, but the dj was doing her thing, and the party setting was starting up for the evening. We had an excellent waitress - she was switched on - better than average for the local scene. I'll be going back.

  • 3/5 Brigitt H. 3 years ago on Google
    Red Hills Rd store -Menu board moves too fast. Need befter control of the number of persons inside. Service not fast. Some staff are unresponsive and display a 'don't care' attitude. Food was hot and mostly fresh.

    Got through fast.

  • 4/5 Alicia S. 3 years ago on Google
    I'm in and out of there in a jiffy because I call ahead to order. The place is clean. Temperature check and sanitizer given at the door. One recommendation is that they need to have the call and order processing more professionally done. For instance, when I called to order, I could hear them calling for the person. Sometimes I gave my order twice because the employee I initially gave the order to was not the designated person to take the order. When I went to collect the order, the cashier shouted the designated person's name. Good service overall!

    Awesome tasting Jamaican food. Everyone can find something here, even vegetarians. They do some wicked rice dishes! Calaloo, pumpkin and the infamous rice and peas. And a seasoned chips that is so flavorful! There food packaging is very environmentally friendly too. Can't beat a desire to take care of the environment...

  • 4/5 Sta-sh B. 3 years ago on Google
    Always a fan of Island grill. My only issue is that the red hills road drive-thru sometimes can be a bit slow, but I guess that too can be dependent on what persons are ordering.

  • 4/5 Julliane P. 3 years ago on Google
    Out of all the fast food joints ...this is borderline fast but more a restaurant. Nonetheless, it is the healthiest food of all. The variety is extensive and so almost anyone can dine their.

  • 3/5 Mikkayla R. 2 years ago on Google
    The service was quick and the space was clean. No seating was available due to the pandemic (July 1, 2021)

    If you are a lover of our local Jamaican dishes this is the place to go, plus the food is much more healthier than than the rest of the fast food restaurants. You can get a wide variety of foods from, jerk chicken, escovitch fish, festival and green plantains that gives a burst to your taste buds leaving you wanting more.

  • 5/5 deematt m. 2 years ago on Google
    Island grill is always consistent and still the best for Jamaican fast food. You know what you are getting without the long wait at some other local joints.

  • 4/5 Xavier G. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 St. Christopher Knight (. 1 year ago on Google
    I always love island grill, food is just a bit on the pricey side guess it's a reflection of the broader society..

  • 3/5 Karen R. 1 year ago on Google
    Burger was a bit dry and the wait was longer than usual. Others who came after got through before I did but I guess its because of what they ordered

  • 3/5 Kingsley M. 1 year ago on Google
    Inside the restaurant needs a face lift. It caters mainly to walk-in customers. For the prices of dishes, customers deserve a better service and ambience.

  • 5/5 Yasheema H. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is good at Island Grill I don't have a problem with the food but when you want to use the bathroom there comes to the problem ⚠️

  • 4/5 Claudine L. 1 year ago on Google
    My Cashier was Sharon. She was amazing. She can read her customer and knows how to serve them. She made appropriate suggestions based on the limit information she quickly gathered based on my initial order selections.

  • 4/5 lowkey 1 year ago on Google
    Price high in comparison to the amount of food you get but the but seems healthy not greasy or over salt

  • 4/5 ANDREA J. 1 year ago on Google
    Quick serving time and pleasant staff. The amount of food being served for the yabba is small and the chicken portions are also small. The French fries remain my favorite

  • 3/5 M T. 1 year ago on Google

  • 1/5 Xandria C. 11 months ago on Google

  • 2/5 Russell T. 11 months ago on Google • 1 review
    The burgers are always cold and dry regardless of the branch. Chicken servings are small. Soup isn't great. Prices expensive. However, the customer service is always great and the restaurants are clean.

    The employees work too slow.. This supposed to be a fast food place... The higher ups need to encourage the workers to be more efficient...
