Mystic Jamaica - Newport News

Food was ok. Used to be better but not the last few times I've been. Probably won't be back.

Spending 50+ dollars on 2 oxtail dinners and they come out nasty is beyond me. The only thing that was okay even though they had the gross gravy on it was the plain rice . The cabbage was severely undercooked. Normally I would I have gotten stew chicken or curry chicken but my husband and I wanted to trying something different. Needless to say I won 't get oxtails EVER AGAIN ???

I was referred to this establishment by Tall Tee , he raved about the food after I had a conversation with him about not being able to find any good authentic Jamaican food. My husband and I went there and purchased the oxtail dinner they were out of rice and peas) it was ok. We give it a 4/ 10, the beefy flavor just was not there. We also ordered the curry chicken Roti the Roti skin had the chick peas). We gave that a 2/10. All you tasted was the pepper. It had no curry chicken flavor whatsoever, and it was dry it may have had 2 or 3 little pieces of potatoes in it. We also purchased 2 mild beef patties and A slice of bread bread pudding, which they were both very good. I guess we 'll have to keep looking for some descent Jamaican food!!!

Just wanted to tell y'all that you are posted as closed on Sundays and Mondays but your schedule is different on your door. I was almost not gonna pass by because I thought you were closed. Also I tried the spicy beef patty. Good food (patty was just a little too oniony for me compared to others :

Jerk chicken was pretty damn good, the sauce is thick and have spices that keep it interesting, but it could be spicier. Plantains were so soft and ripe and the rice fluffy and delicious! My only complaint is how expensive it is. $22 for dark meat? MP international is $13 for a Large meal. But I do sympathize as the rent of outlet strips are no joke sometimes. Plus MP international is a coin flip now when it comes to food and the service there is pretty bad
