Johnny Kaks International

This was not good fried chicken. I just moved in around the block and wanted to try some real Harlem soul food. The fried chicken was mushy….you can tell it was really bad, old, or frozen chicken. It was also poorly fried, the skin had no coating. I took a few bites and tossed it. I love fried chicken, so I think this was the 1st piece I’ve ever thrown away in my life TBH. The Mac and cheese was also below average. Service was also a bit unprofessional, as the cashier person was sitting down on her phone, and had to be called to ring the order up….she was annoyed she had to help a customer. The credit card machine also had an issue taking my card, I had to tell her it says there’s a network error, for her to fix it, then they could complete my order.

Food was Great! Customer Services was good the 2 guys very short with you they don't want to answer questions about the food. The Lady was Very nice she had Customer service and she was informative about the different types of Turkey Wings and pleasant. It's a small place no real decor.Food: 5/5

I usto goto Johnny Kaks Pre-Covid and the food was pretty good. Although in recent years the level of quality has severely plummeted! Today me and my girlfriend ordered Two plates of “ j “ chicken Mac-N-Cheese, mash potatoes, rice peas and string beans. I use the term “ j “ very very loosely because what we got was basically baked chicken lightly sprinkled with j seasoning. The chicken skin was uncooked and almost raw like. The mash potatoes were basically cheap instant mash, the string beans were frozen and stale. The macaroni and cheese was very bland and not throughly cooked, rice and peas were hard. Overall the food was disgusting I wouldn’t recommend you go here anymore it tasted nothing like authentic Jamaican food basically fake nasty cheap imitation soul food that they label Jamaican just avoid Johnny kaks at all cost.

Love this place. I order from uber eats bc its not next to my job. The food is delicious and so worth it.

A reliable soul food spot just order the right things.Good: all the turkey wings the Hennessy wings are the best, baked chicken is like when grandmama fixed just a little something for you. Best Mac in cheese in Harlem not up for debate and the yams are great. Strawberry cake is ok. Friend chicken isn't the bestIn Harlem But it's decent. Charles pan friend is Better). Nope- greens are salty AF and lamb chops and DRY. Often have buy one get one free on Uber eats. drinks are koolaid/ frozen juice. Add some liquor and you're good.Enjoy
