The curry goat was amazing 10/10 seasoned and not many bones. The Mac and cheese lacked flavor in my opinion 3/5. The rice and peas and cabbage was good. I would definitely return. Service was great food was ready soon as I arrived. Place is clean and cute

Restaurant has been renovated in recent years to include more space and some indoor seating compared to the smaller carry-out only location it has been. Food: My husband and I have only ever ordered their jerk chicken platters. The 'small' portion is more than enough for us. I usually get the 'small' portion to include jerk chicken, cabbage, and rice and peas. My husband orders the same, but sometimes chooses to get mac&cheese instead of cabbage. It's always delicious; however, there has been a few times where one of us has found a bay leaf in our food. While it is easy to take them out, I believe it should be taken out before customers are given their order because they are not supposed to be eaten and could be a significant choking hazard for someone not paying attention while eating. They do offer some deserts as well, but I've never tried them. Service: Good yet could be improved to include another person at the front. Every time we've gone, there is usually an older Jamaican woman and I believe her granddaughter working at the front end of the restaurant taking orders via walk-in, phone, or bagging up orders for Uber Eats and the likes. During lunch time, it can take pretty much someone's entire lunch period to get a meal in hand. Value: Approx $10-$20 per meal. Great value for the amount of food, in my opinion. However, they charge an extra percentage (I believe 4%), to anyone paying with a card instead of cash. Personally, this makes the experience less pleasant for me because in 2024 many people do not carry cash, and why is it that high? Ambiance: Busy restaurant so expect the phone to keep ringing and a constant flow of customers. During our last trip in Sept 2024, R&B music was playing and the videos to the songs were playing on a tv. My husband and I dined in and ate at a small 2 person table downstairs. They now have upstairs seating, but it always seems to be closed off so I'm not sure if that's for large parties only or not. Location: Definitely not a fan of this part. 1724 North Capitol St NW, Washington, DC 20002; on one of the busiest corners of D.C. Finding parking in the area is often horrible. If you're not dining in, I highly suggest calling in your order or ordering online: (202) 483-2445 orderjamdoungstyle.com

The jerk chicken was a bit salty but flavorful. Maybe cooked a lil too well. Mac and cheese was pretty good and so was the cabbage. The beef patty probably could of had a bit more meat. But it was delicious. I will visit here again and try some curry.

My favorite thing to order is the curry chicken lunch special. When I have some extra coins, I always add the mac n cheese!

I love getting takeout from here! The flavors are always spot on and the food is fresh. I always get dark jerk chicken and curry chicken and save leftovers for lunch the next day. My order is always ready quick and they've never gotten my order wrong. Love this little corner spot!

Coming from Boston I find it hard to find solid Caribbean spots in the DMV. However, Jam Doung comes through with the flavors I am used to! I am not giving 5 stars because one day they did dry my protein out, but the flavors were still there. I have never actually gone in person, so I can't comment on service, but the food speaks for itself.
