Very nice experience. The food was very tasty and well prepared. We ate the curry chicken platter, the chicken patty and the jerk chicken patty. I also tried the pine ginger drink that was super good. The patty was flaky and tasty, the bao was very good the dough itself and the right filling. The plantains were just the way I love them ❤️ All the food was very good, their friendliness was very embracing, enough tables with shades to eat there while enjoying very nice Reggae music. Certainly was a very nice experience. We willbe back and a I recommend you try it if in the area

I had such a great experience and it’s amazing to see this type of food in the Lake Nona area. We tried the jerk chicken patty, the brown stew chicken platter, the oxtail baos, and the oxtail platter. So worth it!! I loved the fusion aspect of mixing authentic Jamaican food with baos.
Bravo to the atmosphere, as well. There’s plenty of space to park, sit and eat, and enjoy the reggae. The service was immaculate- they were so kind and had our food out and ready to go in no time. I’ll definitely be visiting again soon!

First of all, I was in Orlando for work purposes and wanted to try something new because we typically eat close to the office when I’m here. I googled “the best Jamaican food in Orlando” and Kingston 5 came up first. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! MY GOD! The service was perfect and thoughtful which is always amazing! The food! THE FOOD! The food is slap your grandma, momma and somebody else momma to sleep, GOOD! I had the oxtails and being a New Orleans Native, I’m used to savory and spicy but these flavorful sweet oxtails are NEXT LEVEL!!! The oxtails Bao is in a class of its own! I can’t explain the burst of flavor with just one bite! You NEED to try it for yourself!! We were given a sample of a new menu item, pound cake and honey that was outstanding too! You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!!! I’m so happy we drove the distance to try this amazing eatery!!! The people are so kind that they didn’t even want a tip from us but BABBBBBYYYYYY they earned that and more! I’ll be back later this week…yep, it’s that amazing! Run, don’t walk and thank me later!!!

Delicious food. Great friendly service. Chicken curry was tender the dough on the beef patties were flaky and flavorful. Everything was hot and fresh. It’s located in a Lowe’s parking lot but with the island music playing it drowns out the sound of the cars. You can enjoy a nice picnic like we did. We will definitely be back.
We got beef patty and chicken patty. Chicken curry platter. Oxtail taco and chicken curry bao. Ting soda (grapefruit) Kola was like cream soda.

I stopped by Kingston5 and every single thing I tried was amazing.
I started with the beef patty, and it was everything you want in one: buttery, flaky, and full of rich beefy flavor. Next, I tried the Rassclatt Taco in the brown stew chicken flavor, and it was outstanding. The chicken was tender, the cabbage added a nice crunch, the plantain brought a touch of sweetness, and the sauce tied it all together perfectly.
The Bumbaclaat Bao with curry chicken was another standout. The bao was soft, and the curry filling was bursting with flavor and the right amount of spice. Every bite had so much depth and balance.
I also tried the oxtail platter, which was truly incredible. The rice and peas were soft and seasoned perfectly, the cabbage had a mild pepper kick, the plantains were sweet and cooked just right, and the oxtails were tender and rich with large kidney beans that gave it a hearty texture. There was a subtle hint of sweetness in the sauce that balanced beautifully with the savory flavors.
Everything was flavorful, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. Kingston5 delivers authentic Jamaican food with a creative twist that makes every dish memorable. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in Orlando.

Hands down one of the best Jamaican food in Orlando. The Bao was delicious. We tried all of it and I personally loved the brown stew bao. Didn’t take a pic of the bao, we devoured it before we decided to write a review! So here is a pic of the stew chicken platter! The workers were also very nice, they sat us somewhere else and adjusted the umbrella for us to block out the sun!

Amazing Food Truck, coming from Jamaican parentage, I was a little hesitant because all Jamaican food is NOT created equal. Located in the parking lot of Lowe’s parking lot in Lake Nona, although hesitant, not disappointed. The young woman who took our order was pleasant, professional and explained the menu. I ordered the oxtail and she let me know right away it’s not spicy, but sweet. Usually, Jamaicans cook their oxtail with scotch bonnet pepper so when I heard people’s reviews complaining, it was a bit annoying as everyone does not cook them the same. I also got a side of pepper sauce, that was really good too. The oxtail was fantastic and the rice! Not everyone knows how to cook “rice and peas” but it definitely hit the spot. Hubs ordered the curry goat and that was delicious as well. I am definitely going back to order other items from their fusion menu. Plenty of parking around the truck and the truck itself has a Jamaican vibe. Definitely a go to!

I first tried this spot a few months ago, and since then I’ve been coming back once or twice a week. It was actually my first time trying Jamaican food, and it completely blew me away. The flavors are incredible, the portions are generous, and everything tastes super fresh every single time.
What really keeps me coming back is how consistent they are. You can tell the owners care about what they do, the food, the service, the whole vibe just feels right. Honestly, no matter where you’re from, you’ve got to give this place a try. It’s one of those rare gems that instantly becomes your go-to spot.
