| - I happened to be in the area visiting, and figured to make a quick stop in for a bite. A quick search on yelp pointed me to the local food court and this restaurant.
Fighting through the crowd of people, I was finally able to place an order. A bit short staffed, so the wait for my food took a bit longer than expected, but nothing too crazy.
Upon first look, I was ready to be met with a resounding taste of "meh" given the location of this restaurant (university campus) and the look of the food. But after the first bite, I was hooked and found myself going mm mm 'm.
The rice was good, with beans mixed in, topped with some chicken gravy sauce. There was 4 pieces of chicken, and a scoop of cole slaw on the side. The cole slaw was crispy and fresh, not soggy, but didn't seem very flavorful, quite possibly overpowered by the other flavors in the dish.
The chicken was quite tasty, moist, fall off the bone and had a very nice spicy kick which I wasn't expecting.
The faster you eat, the spicier it gets, but if you pace yourself the spiciness level is tolerable.
Overall, for university campus food I was quite pleasantly surprised at how tasty the jerk chicken was.
Would definitely stop in again to try other dishes when in the area.
