Reviews for Cocojam in Norfolk, VA
I really wanted to fall in love with this place… I paid $40 (insane) for 6 tacos ( 3 curry chicken and 3 oxtail barria) they... were half the size I expected… The curry was decent flavor slight spice but made the tortilla sooo soggy by the time I atethem. No roti available ( what I originally came for) The oxtail was not impressive or flavorful for $25…There were no Veganor beef patties available even though they are still on the menu. I hope the bowls are better along with the portion size forthe high prices. I would try again another time. Read more
I went last weekend after seeing it on TikTok. The establishment was extremely small. The food was precooked and warmed in the... microwave. There’s is hot plate behind the register that they used to cook ordered food on. Several aluminum pans, againbehind the front counter that they make plates out of. It gives ghetto. The customer service was good. I orders the jerk tacos.The chicken was dry and flavorless, but somehow the tortilla was soggy! My husband had the oxtail bowl. He thought that it wasdecent. My fried rice was cold. I guess it wasn’t nukes long enough. Overall, It wasn’t my thing and I wouldn’t come back. Read more
I ordered the jerk chicken and corn my jerk chicken was extremely dry it had no jerk sauce on it it just tasted like grilled... chicken I was shocked because the place really gives Caribbean vibes the music the atmosphere everything I will no longer eathere it was my first and last time people aren\'t properly trained at the counter and it just was not what I intended on havingat all. I hope yall get better and I most certainly wanted a refund but they close at 6 and I was forced to have that because Ididn\'t want to waste money. Please look up the proper recipe for jerk chicken and note that all islanders do not like mangosand pineapples the juice was disgusting like I was not happy the worst 15.90 I ever had to spend. But you guys can do alotbetter Read more
If I could give 0 stars I would. I visited Cocojam on 4 September 2022. I went to this place because I follow a blogger and she... tells of amazing foods in the local 757. When I got there it was clean. The problem came with the customer service as well as alack of food and drinks. When speaking to the lady taking my order and my friends order she had a horrible attitude thatincluded rolling her eyes and side eyeing as I asked questions about how the menu works so that I may order properly. Then whatI wanted wasn\'t available as well as many other food items. No Vegan food was available nor were the Oxtail tacos available.The drink containers were empty but the workers were walking around drinking what was supposed to be in the empty containers.There wernt any signs posted about items not available. The menu had slightly different prices than what was on the door wherethe drinks and salads were. They put very little meat on the tacos and I watched as she took the tortilla wrap and touch it toher body as to adjust it in her hand. And again the attitude and service was poor. When the young lady handed me my food shejust about slid it across to me not looking called my number and walked off and left from behind the counter. My rice was soggybut my friend\'s rice was hard and crunchy but they came from the same container off the heat. Which reminds me to mention thefood wasn\'t hot or even warm. I will never go here again. As I\'m sure I have forgotten to mention so much more I assure youthis is enough for me to wash my hands with this business. Read more
Ordered Jerk Chicken Taco lunch (Comes with 2 and some rice)\n\nTaste was pretty good, chicken cooked well, good ratio of salsa... to sauce to cabbage mix and wasn\'t messy to eat. Rice was cooked well.\n\nThe reason for the 3 star review though, is that theportions are incredibly tiny for the price. Really really tasty but incredibly tiny. Read more
This restaurant is amazing! I ordered the jerk cauliflower tacos and coconut lime rice and they were both delicious. I am vegan... so it was such a reliever to have so many tasteful options. They even helped configure my order when I was indecisive. 10/10! Read more
The ladies at the counter were wonderful! I placed an order and there was an issue on my end (no fault at all of coco). They... still tried to make everything right and went above and beyond. Great customer service and exciting menu! Thank you! Read more
I love Cocojam and it\'s unfortunate that not everyone gets to have an amazing experience here. The food is always delicious and... is a luxury to my tastebuds. The people who I typically see working the front are always very kind. I\'m obsessed with the currychicken tacos and coconut rice! Give this cute black owned eatery a try next time you\'re downtown or passing through the seldenmarket :) Read more
