Social Profile:

Hungry Eyes (Yaad Vibes) Bar & Grill as been a family dream, born from flavors, memories and traditions we carried from home. In our kitchen, food was always more than a meal, it was storytelling, celebration, and connection. The laughter around the table, those moments shaped who we are. We opened Hungry Eyes to share that same feeling with our community. Our fire grilled jerk chicken, tender oxtail, curry dishes, soups and smoked flavors all carry the heartbeat of Jamaica ❤️. Even the cocktails are crafted to bring you the sunshine, spice, and energy of the island. When you walk through our doors, we want you to feel like you’re stepping into our home where the vibes are warm, the music is lively, and every plate is made with love.

I would usually not do a review of my first experience and I certainly wouldn’t do it about takeout but the empty restaurant at dinner time made me want to support and get the word out. The people were so grateful for our order. The portion was HUGE. I got the large goat and was glad I did. It was so tender with amazing spices. Next time I’ll ask to see if I can get it a little spicier. I asked for more cabbage than rice but got the opposite and it was a good mistake because the cabbage was flavorless and the rice was delicious. I also got the beef patty. Would have liked a little more filling but it was good and I’d get again.

I really encourage you to hit them up. You’ll be happy and FULL!!!

I was excited to try this restaurant but that’s over. I wasn’t expecting great customer service because I know that most Jamaican restaurants don’t specialize in that. But I was expecting delicious food. I ordered curry chicken for myself. The chicken looks and tastes like regular baked chicken. The
Cabbage and rice were both tasty. I’ll probably not return.

Absolutely phenomenal. Great service, great people and some how even better food. Cant wait to go back and try something else. Jerk chicken and curry chicken were amazing, rice and peas great, plantains decent, the cabbage was out of this world.

I have two people to thank for referring me here! Portions are excellent. In house rum punch – best I ever had in my life. Any drinks I ordered after I was disappointed! Never again, Rum Punch Only here for me! Spoke with the owner and wow do they accommodate your cravings. I wanted the goat spicer and that side sauce delivered. I just got over a cold and man oh man! I feel like the goat broth restored all the minerals my body needed. Loved everything I ate. One of my friends says it the only place she can eat and not crave a Pepsi! She is just that satisfied!
You literally cannot go wrong with whatever you are ordering. Tonight was a great Pre-Valentine’s date night. Will never forget the first visit and will be back!!

One thing to know about me: I ❤️ Jamaican food. Wherever I am, whenever I find a Jamaican restaurant, I have to try it. I discovered Hungry Eyes on a business trip to Richmond. I didn’t realize at the time that I had discovered a hidden gem.

I have a test to distinguish real, authentic Jamaican restaurants from fake places: I ask for Scotch Bonnet pepper sauce. When the server replied “You want the sauce or the whole pepper?” I knew I was in the right place. I ordered the jerk chicken plate with plantains and a rum punch for lunch & enjoyed every bite. The chicken was spiced just right, the rice & peas and vegetables that came with it were perfectly cooked–soft, fluffy, and fragrant rice with tender savory vegetables that accompanied the jerk chicken like backup singers.

What I didn’t expect was how friendly the staff would be. Tara (the lunchtime server & bartender) was the nicest, most attentive and personable server I’ve ever met a Jamaican spot. I even got to meet the owner, Lester, who is meticulous about everything from the bottles they stock in their (very) full bar to the way the food is plated.

Most Jamaican restaurants are hit or miss. Hungry Eyes doesn’t miss.

So if you ever find yourself in Richmond, craving a taste of the island, stop by Hungry Eyes. Tell them the OTHER “Cousin Lennox” (from California) sent you

Sorry, The stingy portion this restaurant gives for a small size oxtail meal for the price of $27 after taxes isn’t worth it. The large oxtail mail is $30 before tax. You will be disappointed! There’s cheaper Jamaican restaurants in the city of Richmond that’s just as good if not better. The portion size is very small versus other Jamaican restaurants

WOW! Food was amazing! Hungry Eyes is the best Jamaican restaurant in Richmond. The Oxtail had perfect flavor, meat was very tender. It was stewed to perfection. Even though the dish was expensive, but it was well worth it. We also loved the Jerk Chicken. It tasted sweet at first, but it leaves a tangy after taste in your mouth. Good quality chicken breast meat. The chef did a wonderful job with the sides too. We substituted rice with Green Beans and Sweet Yam, they were delicious. Our waitress Tara made us felt so welcomed. Owner/Chef Lester shared his passion for culinary with us. You can tell every dish was prepared with pride. We cannot wait to go back and try other dishes on their menu.
I also learned a new nonalcoholic beverage named Sorrel. It is a Jamaican holiday drink. Chef Lester makes it in house. It is sweet and refreshing.

“Sorrel is the Jamaican name for a type of hibiscus flower known as the Roselle. The dried sepals (the outer parts) of the hibiscus flower create a versatile and colorful red liquid when infused with hot water.”

This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem. The food exceeded my expectations. My kids even loved it. We got to meet the owner who is also the Chef and he was very kind and made sure that we understood the menu. You could tell that he loves what he does. I highly recommend this restaurant.
