Cajun Restaurants near Downey, CA

“Food tastes so good hot and fresh!“

“Excellent service. Great food. Highly recommend 🤌🏻“

“Our church, Triedstone MBC, just hosted a luncheon for our leadership team. It was catered by Darrow’s New Orleans Grill. We were very pleased with our experience. The food was delicious. And the service was great! They arrived early. And the food was hot. The owner, Norwood, presented the food with a very appetizing description of each entree. Everyone loved it! Additionally, the portions were very generous. And everyone went back for seconds. At Triedstone, we do everything with excellence. And Darrow’s definitely met the challenge. We say, “Thank You” to Norwood and his entire staff. We look forward to doing more business with you in the near future. Sincerely Submitted, Pastor Quentin T. Oden and Lady Shelley Oden TRIEDSTONE MBC Carson, CA“

“Food was delicious, the ambiance was festive and the service was excellent! Our server Yaya gave us great recommendations on how to order what since it was our first time here. She made our experience very special and we will be coming back !“

“The dining room atmosphere was really cool⚓️, the music was awesome, and the food was delicious 😋 We ordered the 2 lb cajun garlic shrimp bucket, a bowl of gumbo, garlic fries, and calamari. The bibs and gloves given to us for eating were perfect and necessary for the messy juicy shrimp.🍤 Everything was very tasty and not too spicy. Can’t wait to come back and try some other items on the menu. Thank you for the great service and amazing lunch.😇“

“The Boil Daddy never misses! From the moment we walked in, the service was amazing — the staff, especially the ladies, were incredibly sweet and attentive. The food? Chef’s kiss — everything was so flavorful and fresh. The vibe of the place is fun and relaxed, and the prices are super reasonable for how much food you get. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. 5 stars all the way!“

“This is the best place in LA for teriyaki. I got the chicken and beef plate. The sauce is sweet and delicious, the chicken is perfectly grilled with a nice charbroiled flavor, and the beef is tender. Make sure you add the fresh avocados which pair perfectly with the meat and rice. I enjoyed adding the complimentary hot yellow chilies as well.

This is my third visit here and tonight the beef seemed a little bit fattier than usual like it wasn't trimmed enough, but other than that, everything was perfect. I will be back.“

“All of the staff we encountered tonight were so nice. The food came quickly, and tasted great. There was one staff member in particular that went above and beyond. We came with our 4 kids to eat, and the smallest 2 made a couple of messes. He took care of everything and told us not to worry about any of it. If I knew his name I would list it here to give him credit but unfortunately I didn't get that before we left. Overall great place to eat, cozy, and family friendly.“

“Comida rica rápido y fácil“

“Best seafood place! We’ve been here few times and definitely will come back again!!“

“My quick, quick, quick LOCATION right here close by me! Those PRICES are well WORTH ittt!!! An 🤗 Oh yessss, that DIRTY RICE is the BOMB!!!!“

“I Had the frog legs, parmesan fries and the Cajun rice. Everything was perfect except the rice. The Cajun rice was a little gummy and some grains of rice were still hard. The atmosphere was quiet and the customer service was wonderful. Reasonable prices were appreciated.“

“My favorite breakfast place when we visit DTLA. The atmosphere is excellent and it’s next to my favorite bar.“

“I really enjoyed the Nola vibes in the seating area on the side of the building. I was worried that the cajun seasoning on the tots would be spicy but it wasn't, and they were very good. I also had the chicken sliders without the hot sauce, and they were also good, but I wish they'd had more slaw on them. The Theves sweet tea was soooo good, I wish they sold it in gallon size!“

“Mlem Mlem Crab is a seafood lover's dream come true! My group and I got a mixture of fresh shrimp, crab, mussels, and crawfish in our boil, which suited everyone's tastebuds! The seafood was cooked to perfection and covered in their delicious signature mlem mlem crab and garlic butter sauce. We also added extra items like sweet corn, boiled eggs, sausages, and tender red potatoes which complemented the seafood and sauce beautifully. I appreciated that I could customize every part of the seafood boil from the spice level of the sauce to the individual items in the boil itself, allowing me and my group to tailor the meal to our tastes.On top of the great food, the ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, making it an excellent place for a casual dinner with friends. The nautical-themed decor added to the charm and made me feel like I was at a seaside eatery. The service was exceptional as our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and had great recommendations. Overall, I had a great experience at Mlem Mlem and can't wait to come back, sit on their outdoor patio, and enjoy another delicious seafood boil with a group of my friends!“

“really good place 👌 👏 😌 🙌 👍 ☺“

“Best seafood boil I've ever had!!! And affordable!!! This is our favorite boil place!!!

Parking: The lot is small but we've never had an issue finding parking.

Kid-friendliness: We've taken my friends toddler here a few times. As kid and baby friendly as any other place.“

“We celebrate my brother’s birthday last Wednesday. Waiting time is not that long, our server EJ is very approachable and accommodating, customer service is really good . Great food , service crew are attentive and willing to help. Great job guys✌️🤗“

“Food is delicious. Not your average kickin crab flavor but it's own special flavor, sauce is a thicker consistency that i like better. I like this place because the service is fast and the food is actually good and I don't stink of garlic for like 3 days.“

“Very good food and perfect portions for the price. The quality is high, and the flavors are consistent. It's like Crab Boil Asian fusion in a way. They have both on the menu. And out of left field, the garlic bread was very tasty. I come here often and like it a lot-might be the best hidden secret in the area. If you do not like spice, order the no spice option and it is very mild. The mild is already more spicy than some people would like. Their veggies are always fresh and cooked well. Meats are higher quality. You wont be disappointed with your order from here.“

“Me encantan los camarones y su buena atención“

“Awesome location, quick friendly service“

“My first time there. Absolutely loved it. The craw Mac is amazing. Highly recommend“

“One of my best place to go“

“Food was pretty good... Over all cleanliness is bad, was there for pickup and in the 10 min of waiting, nobody cleaned off dirty tables... No clients thigh, who knows how long these tables sat like that... You know eating at places like this, you make a mess... Sidewalk right outside the doors is crazy filthy... How does manager not see this!??“

“The food was great 😊 it was very satisfying…thank you for the best experience!!!! Yeah!“

“The food was amazing………….“

“This is the best Krispy Krunchy hands down. I tried them once before via delivery and was impressed by the freshness of the chicken. Don’t get me wrong, most KK’s have really good fried chicken, but this place seems to have been built with chicken sales in mind. Most others are retrofitted into a gas station convenience store that may or may not have the right room and facilities for making their famous fried chicken.

On top of all that, the service here is top notch. From the store clerk up front to the person making chicken. There was a wait for the wings, but otherwise all good.

Pro tip: call ahead for orders, especially larger ones.“

“The only thing wrong was we had to wait approximately 45 minutes do to the "only cook " was on break. First time I ever faced this in a restaurant. Myself was meeting a friend there but I'm sure had their been many other patrons they may of walked out. Food was good, waiter was good and seemed to have a friendly atmosphere being that it was my first time dining there.“

“muy rico y buen servicio“

“really good place 👌 👏 😌 🙌 👍 ☺“

“I love it this was my first time here 🥰😍👌🏻🙏🏻“

“Muy ricos camarones , arroz, papas, y el servicio muy amable.“

“The place was super busy and you can easily tell that the place was WAY understaffed to accommodate the business. With that said, the entire staff was amazing and were super friendly while taking care of everyone who was ready to feast along with the crowd who was waiting to sit. They even had a moment to answer stupid questions from me being from out of town wanting a seafood fix.

Owners: please praise these folks and add some bonuses to their paycheck! They aren't getting paid what they are worth and I’d love to pay their expenses to come work for me in another state to continue their magic. Also, please add a non-butter based sauce in an effort to accommodate diet restrictions and better flavor profiles like competitors.“

“the spicy Cajun flavor was on point.“
