I been to alot of Jamaican Restaurants in the Philadelphia Area and Honestly came to the conclusion. Kingston City Rest is still unmatched. Other Restaurants give you days old food and laugh behind your back. This place actually cares what goes in your stomach and make sure you leave with a smile on your face and Great food on your plate.

I have been eating here for about 10 years and this is the best Jamaican food I’ve had in any part of the city. I literally go back to my old neighborhood just to get a taste because no one else has topped their flavors to me. The flavors are great, the consistency perfect, the prices are reasonable and the portions are fair. It is a family restaurant and you will know it after one taste because they put so much care into their food. This is not the place to go for fast food…if it were the food would be just sitting around waiting for you all day and be old by the time you get it. If you want the best I suggest ordering about 20 minutes ahead of picking up or 40 min ahead if having it delivered just like you would a pizza place where they make everything fresh for you. The food has a fresh look and fresh taste every time period so I don’t understand people complaining about time. Time equals care and I would rather have my food melt in my mouth after waiting a half hour than to eat somewhere else where my food has sat around all day or has been thrown together like other places I’ve been.

My boyfriend had ordered some food from this place I wanted to try…. I was hungry and I just got off from work. Once I opened my food it had a strong smell of pneumonia. The food was no good…the smell literally matches what it taste like.

Ms. Sophie’s oxtails are absolutely the best. That’s all I eat from Kingstons, because I can’t get pass it. I moved from the area and just happened to be in the neighborhood yesterday. Kingston’s, was my first stop. Let me tell you, nobody is touching her and her oxtails. Honey, I was dancing through every bite. I ask for extra, extra, spicy, and she slices some kind of hot peppers and puts it in, which also gives it extra flavor. Mmm!! I love Ms. Sophie, she is also a sweet heart. I hope she never moves her restaurant because I’ll be devastated.

My co-workers and I ordered from this restaurant today for the first time. The food was good and the portions were fair to generous. However, the time it took to receive our food was awful. We ordered at 11:45 our food arrived after 2P.

The food is OK. I ordered stewed chicken, yam, potato salad, and macaroni. The yam is very sweet. The macaroni isn’t complete trash like Jamaican D’s. The portions are very small in comparison to nearby competitors. Not worth going again.
