• DoorDash orderLet me say that I love Hungry Man's food and will continue to eat there. But my initial issue with the Escoveitched Fish (this is my 2nd time ordering it), that for the price, the fish size is small compared to other whole body fish meals I get from other spots , still stands. This meal felt more like $25 not $36. My other Jamaican spot that had a really good-sized snapper dinners for $34 (and their fish was really good) stopped serving fish altogether (maybe due to cost or supply chain issues?), but I had a hankering for escoveitch (and felt too lazy to make my own) so I decided to try HM's again. The peas and rice was good as always (and there was a lot of it), and the fish was cooked well but just ok flavor wise tho the pickle was tasty and worked when eaten together of course. But overall, in comparison, not a completely satisfying meal for me personally for the price once you factor in delivery and tip ($52). It would be nice if they could find creative ways to be a little more generous with the fish if possible. But still, I love their food.

• DoorDash orderI love me some Escoveitched Fish and this was one good. I do like a little more vinegary flavor in the pickle but it was tasty. And for the price, the red snapper was smaller than expected and compared to the fish I get at this other spot that charges $2 less. But still, I overall truly enjoyed this meal. What I mostly appreciate about this spot is the added Jamaican dishes I rarely see on other menus here in LA. I got the Ground Food (provisions) to go with the fish (boiled green banana, yuca, and dumplings) which I haven't had on the West Coast (I'm from NYC). It's a nice break from rice n peas or white rice options especially with dishes like salt fish and ackee which is a staple. They also have stew peas with pig tails, breadfruit, jerk pork, and the bean soup so I definitely plan to order those next time. I miss those foods/flavors for sure.

• DoorDash reviewIf you’re craving authentic Jamaican flavors, Hungry Joe’s is the place to be! From the moment you take your first bite of their tender, smoky jerk chicken to their mouthwatering, fall-off-the-bone oxtails, the food here is nothing short of amazing. The rich seasonings and perfectly cooked dishes will transport your taste buds straight to the heart of Jamaica. The downside is parking but if you dont mind the hassle its worth it!

• DoorDash reviewVery disappointing. The portion was very heavy with rice and peas and very skimpy on meat. The oxtails were small and dry. The jerk pork was dry, over cooked rib tips with no meat and lots of bone. The dark meat only for the brown stew chicken was 2 legs. I ordered 3 orders of festival bread that were missing with the order. The price was outrageous for the meals received. The meal looked like they scraped the bottom of the pot to get it together.
