Food was very good, the ladies were very nice. Would go back. Just need a little more juice with the goat.
This is the best Jamaican joint in town by far ! The food is cooked to perfection and the flavors are just unforgettable ! I highly recommend the Ox tail ! You won't be disappointed !
I haven't visited their store, but I ordered from them through Uber Eats--the food there is bursting with flavor. I've ordered their Rasta pasta dish multiple times and have never been disappointed. Despite not setting foot in their restaurant, I love their food.
This establishment has been in the neighborhood for a while and have never tried it. Needless to say it's a gem. Food tastes so good! I had the Rasta pasta with chicken. It was so so good and flavorful. The portions were great and I even had leftovers. We got two large dinners which were beyond huge of the jerk chicken and stew chicken. A great deal where you can get two meals out of one. Service was nice and woman working there were polite. I will definitely be going back!!
The customer service was excellent and they were very accommodating. They gave generous portion sizes and the food matched their service. This will be my new spot every time I'm craving Jamaican food!
Wife and I ordered some jerk chicken, and oxtail for a party we had, guests loved the food! They couldn't stop talking about it. Only regret, is that we didn't order more.
Overall I had a great dining experience at Nyam Sum! I ordered the oxtail, cabbage, rice and beans. The food was hot and fresh, plus the young ladies working were very pleasant. Their menu has quite a variety. I think this restaurant is a hidden gem that will become a favorite to many!!!! I will certainly be back to support this minority owned establishment!
Not sure why it is showing less but this place deserves no less than 5 stars. My Jamaican family tried this place out before I did. We were so sick of the Jamaican restaurant a couple of miles away on 111, so I couldn't wait to try what Nyam Sum had to offer. First off, the name of the restaurant is amazing. All my family and friends loves it. They really put themself at a great location on Suffolk Avenue, and having themselves in a "strip" mall with foot walkers, too. Their sign is big enough so people can see from the road, and it's right across the street from neighborhoods. So my boyfriend and I finally checked out this place. He's never had Jamaican food - so I thought we'd try it. The man that was helping us, one of the owners - his name was Kirk. He was the nicest man, greeting us when we walked in, extremely friendly, and very welcoming. It threw me back because you don't usually get such great welcoming like that in any restaurant. He was patient while decided what we wanted. My boyfriend was able to look off the menu because it was easier for someone who has never ate Jamaican food. Their menu has a WIDE variety of choices, it's actually shocking. He ended up getting the Jerk chicken, he doesn't like spice, but Kirk said he'd be okay and I was told by my bf that the "spice quality" was just right enough and delicious. And I got the Curry Goat which tasted phenomenal (and WASN'T full of bone like I normally get at the other place). Also, got the bun and cheese which was on point. The plantins were delicious along with the cabbage, which was seasoned and perfectly made - like I've never had them before. They do take card as well in case you Yelpers were wondering. I'll be spreading word around about this place - They set a great first impression to us. Not only do I recommend this restaurant because the service and the food is great. But I will 100% support anyone in business who put their life on the line and served for this country - that to me deserves more than the 5 stars I can provide.
