Amazing food! I got my favorite—Ackee and saltfish. Everything on the plate was delicious. And the people were so kind. I’m definitely coming back. (Excuse my not great photo, I was too excited to eat it.)

Absolutely amazing experience! From the moment we walked in, the service was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely personable staff who made us feel right at home.
The food was incredible. The beef patties were perfectly flaky with rich, flavorful filling. The oxtail plate was tender, seasoned to perfection, and cooked just right. The brown stew chicken dinner was comforting and delicious with deep, authentic Jamaican flavor. And the juices were the perfect finishing touch. It was so refreshing.
Everything tasted fresh, soulful, and made with love. This is the kind of place that keeps you coming back not just for the food, but for the experience. Highly recommend!

I stopped by this restaurant for lunch and everything was beyond expectations. I found it on google then called to find out if they cooked fish, I was then given the option of placing the order over the phone.
From I entered into the restaurant the atmosphere was very pleasant with reggae music jamming not too loudly in the background. The workers were quite welcoming and professional.
Let’s skip everything else and go straight to the food , very well presented and served on a plate with knife and fork. The brown stew fish was definitely authentic and portion was perfect, I had a take a break because I was so full before getting to my favorite part “the fish head” . I bought home made sour sop juice, it was so good I had to finish it before the meal came, then I ordered sorrel and oh my I was NOT disappointed at all .
The service was amazing and friendly from the ladies behind the counter and my server Neil who checked on my table several times to ensure I was ok. He even brought over the extra items I ordered and offered me a glass of ice for my drinks. Overall a great dining experience and I will definitely be going back

As my wife and I enjoy a lovely dinner under the care of our wonderful Jamaican hosts (family members of the original Mr. Coley), our Chinese ancestors pop into my head.
They ask, How do you like the escoveitch snapper?
“It’s the best Cantonese fried fish to be found in Van Nuys,” I explain in terms they’re familiar with.
And your wife’s callaloo & saltfish?, they inquire.
It’s the OG and far better than Southern mean greens and bacon, but not as good as your sauteed vegetables and salty fish, of course, I reply to my beloved great grandmother.
How do those fish dishes compare to the oxtail and curry goat you had last week?
“We would come back again and again for Mr. Coley’s oxtail and curry goat plates, though they would never compare to the Chen oxtail stew and our family’s curry pork, my honored progenitors,” I would say.
And what about the chicken soup? The festival bread? The bean rice?
“Those are not to be underestimated as mere sides. The rice-n-peas fills all the cracks just right. In its own way, the chicken soup is as good as Grandma’s. And the festival bread is fresher and more tempting than any cornbread or fried youtiao I’ve ever tasted…” At which point I realize my taste buds and reflections are pushing my grave ever further from our venerable family plot.

I ordered the patties and curry chicken from The Original Coley’s, and everything was amazing. The food was full of flavor, fresh, and clearly made with care. The owner was really cool and welcoming, which made the experience even better. On top of that, the restaurant itself is a whole vibe with great energy, great atmosphere, and great food. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to and recommending to others.

I used to love eating at Coley’s when they were in North Hollywood, and they were kind enough to offer up the restaurant for elections, so I was also a poll inspector there multiple times – best smelling polling place ever. What a delight to find their new location in Sherman Oaks. Same delicious food (Don Coley’s still cooking part-time at 83!) and the whole family is just delightful.

I recently visited The Original Coleys, and as a Jamaican familiar with the quality and standard of Jamaican cuisine, I was blown away by the warm hospitality and attentive service. The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. I also appreciated the lively Jamaican music playing in the background and the clean environment they maintained.
I ordered the beef patty, the oxtail entree with a side of jerk chicken and soursop juice. While the oxtail was a bit salty, the rice and peas and jerk chicken were flavorful and well-seasoned, showcasing the kitchen’s knowledge of Jamaican cuisine. However, I must say that the overall taste did not match the price they were charging. My total came to $53.65, which I found to be a bit pricey.
One thing that bothered me during my visit was when my aunt was about to pay on the Clover machine, they made it sound like tips were mandatory. The owner said, “We don’t work for free,” even though I’m not certain what he meant by that. This made me feel uncomfortable, and as a Jamaican, I would have appreciated a more tactful approach to asking for tips.
Overall, I was impressed with the genuine hospitality which is extremely rare in a Jamaican restaurant. Being Jamaican myself, I have high standards for Jamaican cuisine, and The Original Coleys’ understanding of the cuisine was evident in their food. I gave them a tip of $10, as their hospitality was exceptional. Despite the high prices and the awkward tip situation, I would still recommend them to anyone looking for delicious Jamaican food, great service, and a fun atmosphere.

I had to fly all the way from Florida just to see what all the hype was about—and let me tell you, it was worth every second of that five-hour flight.
Coley’s isn’t just a restaurant—it’s soul food for the heart and spirit. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with warmth, culture, and a sense of belonging. The vibrant decor, music, and energy feel like a slice of Jamaica, right in L.A.
Candice and Neil are the heart behind it all. Their passion, hospitality, and authenticity shine through in every detail. You can feel the love they pour into this place—from the ki, chen to the conversation. They don’t just serve food—they serve legacy.
The soursop juice is smooth, fresh, and unforgettable. The food is pure Jamaican comfort—seasoned to perfection and made with real heart.
They’ve done it right since 1982, and the legacy is strong.
If you’re ever near L.A., do yourself a favor and stop by Coley’s. Come hungry, leave full, and feel like family.
Much love and respect to Candice and Neil for keeping the culture alive and flavorful.

Excellent service. The place is a vibe. I usually get fried chicken, which is good. They have a variety of patties and will make them cheese patties for you; they are delicious. Today, I just got some chicken soup because of the weather, and it was good. Much respect.

Great atmosphere and excellent service. The people here are above and beyond. I could t recommend a better place for better customer service or a cool vibe. The food was not bad at all but it wasn’t what I’m used to for Jamaican food. It seemed a bit more Americanized but that could just be me. I like a bit more spices in my food. That being said, this is probably a healthier choice than some others or if you’re more into a little less spice this is the place for you. I had the shrimp Curry plate which came with rice, beans, veggies, plantain, and cornbread. I also bought a sour sop drink. It came to $36 if I’m not mistaken. The plate by itself was $23 before tax. The inside is a bit small and intimate. The store is located on a corner lot kind of tucked away in the back corner. There is not an abundance of space so if the shopping center gets busy you may need to find parking.
