Exceeded my expectations! Chicken and rice were great! Staff was friendly, we got our food quick. I like the decor, but music was a bit loud to my taste. I'd go back though, especially with Mutoïde next to it.
Reviews / Ratings for Dutty Yea
After watching what felt like half the city’s influencers being invited to promote it, we figured it must be the second coming of fusion cuisine. Naturally, curiosity got the better of us, so we were looking forward to vibing there eventually... The concept is marketed as a “Caribbean restaurant with a Japanese twist.” Now, fusion can be magical when it works. Here… we’re still trying to figure out what exactly the twist is. Is it the occasional use of words like "yuzu"? The unnecessary and mysterious appearance of seaweed in the bowl? Meanwhile, the “Caribbean” component appears to be… jerk seasoning. On everything. And when we say everything, we mean everything. If it exists on the menu, it has likely been jerked. 🤷♂️ The food itself is… decent. Not bad, but not quite the revelation the marketing might suggest. My burger, for instance, contained so much lettuce and so little jerk chicken that it might more accurately be described as a lettuce burger with chicken. Honestly, great news if you’re semi-vegetarian. At this point, they might as well skip the bun entirely and call it a lettuce wrap. 🌿 The fries tasted like they’d been taken from a freezer before arriving on the plate, accompanied by BBQ sauce for some reason. A bold choice. Their homemade sorrel slush was pleasant enough, though about 40% of the cup seemed committed to ice. It’s refreshing, but we’ve definitely had better. ❄️ Where the place really shines, however, is branding. The colours are great, the decor is vibrant, the artwork is cool, and the merch is honestly pretty slick. The whole space is extremely photogenic, which makes sense given how strong their influencer marketing game is. It’s a cute spot for Instagram pictures. 📸 So in short: excellent aesthetic, solid vibes (😂😂😂😂), competent food—but perhaps more style than substance. If you go, take pictures… and maybe have moderate expectations.
The burger was super good and juicy! Nice music and decoration
Had an amazing meal at their new location in La Centrale on St Laurent. Absolutely delicious, very reasonably priced and great customer service. Check them out!
Great chicken, sorrel is very tasty.
Came by a few times on a Friday evening. Doors are open, lights are on but the restaurant is left unstaffed. Wish I could say you get good value for the money or that the food is great but I'd need to be able to order something first.
Maybe the food is good but I was there in store and waited 15-20minutes and no one was in. Not even at the counter.
Great portions and the chicken is so good! The sorrel juice was also a surprise, very tasty. Will definitely go back (and take extra chicken).
