I got a custom order of Tumeric rice, Lemon pepper jerk chicken (Bone-in), with Yam stew + Truffle Greens as sides. All of it tasted flavorful. I never had yam stew like that before; it's a great savory side + honestly a meal I would get by itself. Now, I think all Greens should be truffle greens.Some cons I have are that there's no menu displayed over the counter, so customers need to look at the menu online while in line. Also... Even though I ordered "bone-in chicken", I wasn't expecting some of the tiny bones. Now I know to be careful while chewing or get boneless next time. But I do think this place should do better to prevent the choking hazard ?. Overall, pretty awesome food!(Edit: Also wanted to mention: To use the restroom, you gotta ask a worker to unlock it at the counter.)
Love Yum Village. But not today. My large order of Truffle Greens don't look the part. Barely half full. Plus entire food order wasn't hot.Called the restaurant (twice). 1st person I spoke to put me on hold after I asked about the greens then call dropped. Called back, got another person, who said I was talking to a manager. Tried asking again about amount of greens for large size, and person hung up.Oh well, maybe they're too busy to troubleshoot customer inquiries about their food quality and portions.Sigh ?
The food was great.. the chicken was tender, good and had a great smokey jerk flavor. The oxtails were the same and the jollof rice was pretty awesome too. I enjoyed the food and I would Def come back. Only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars is because I got some greens and there weren't any really there because underneath was more rice.. other than that it was good
Clean, comfortable, open and bright interior. The murals outside are stunning. Chairs were padded which was nice. Staff were fun, friendly and helpful. Food was quality, the chicken was perfectly spiced, tender and juicy. The chickpeas were crispy outside and soft inside. The plantains were sweet and spicy, with the perfect amount of char. &&& The coconut rice? OMG the coconut rice. It was the perfect vessel for all the things I listed above. Portions are generous, my husband and I split a bowl and it was enough for the 2 of us for a light dinner and cost about $17.I'd definitely stop in again next time I'm downtown.
Very tasty, super flavorful.I really love the plantains. I appreciated the fact that they don't hold back on the spiciness. The space has a really cool ambience. I will definitely be back to try more of their dishes!
I used to love this place until I made a complaint on UberEats about being charged $6 for 2 corn balls. It seems as though every since then my food quality has went down here from there. I’ve received jerk chicken undercooked all the way through, chicken being over cooked or the food tasting weird. Today I just ordered a meal for the first time in maybe 3-5 months. I ordered the create your own bowl and they have a offer where if you purchase one order of corn balls you get another for free. Both of the orders of corn balls are sooo burnt to the point they literally blend in with the bowl. I ate one to make sure I wasn’t tripping out and that it was just probably the glaze or something. No they actually sent me 2 orders of burnt corn balls.
This was my first time eating at Yumvillage and the food was wonderful. The staff took real good care of me the Atmosphere was great. So if you are looking for good food please visit Yumvillage.
I love it the owner always has a smile on his face a very blessed atmosphere
This food is authentic and delicious with just the right amount of spicy heat. I just had the salmon cakes with turmeric rice and sweet & spicy plantains and I enjoyed every bite. The owner/chef provided an awesome personable customer experience.
I enjoyed the African/Caribbean atmosphere. My food was wonderful and full of flavor. It was my first time having Foo Foo, and it was smooth and creamy. Treated like mashed potatoes. I highly recommend this restaurant. Felt like home to me.
