Cajun Restaurants near Hawaiian Gardens, CA

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

“Backstory: when my wife and I first started dating we went to a restaurant that coincidentally was called Rue that was also Cajun and was amazing (no pressure). My family and I came to celebrate our 3 yr wedding anniversary. The restaurant definitely gives the nawlins vibe when we walked in, that also looks great as a date spot. Our server was super attentive and was super mindful that when our baby was sleeping he even filled our waters away to reduce the sound which was really thoughtful. We ordered the New Orleans gumbo, fried calamari, Jambalaya, and the Mardi Gras pasta. One previous concern I had previously with Cajun food in California was that it wasnt seasoned well. Well, NO WORRIES HERE! Everything tasted amazing. If you’re looking for authentic Cajun, you’d roux the day for not for visiting!

Let’s go!!“

“Fast service and good food and great prices“

“The food was very good. Service was great..my friend ordered her food too hot. They replaced it with a milder taste and it was just as she had ordered the first time.. Thanks Kickin Crab for great customer service....plus I had enough for leftovers..“

“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.“

“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.😇“

“I’m a huge fan of Boiling Crab but personally, the sauce and seasoning is much better here! It’s less salty and def more savory. I had king crab legs, mussels, and shrimp but they were all cooked just right. The portion was honestly more than enough and the staff are super friendly. They offered me new gloves after noticing that they had gotten dirty after a while!! The seafood is super good quality for sure but the sauce.. 🤤🤤 eating the sauce with just the rice and the sausages. If you’re around this area and looking for something to eat, I def recommend this place!!! You can always take out and freely make a mess at home while eating.“

“This is one of our favorite places ever!! The food is delicious!! Holly is the highlight of our experience we truly love her❤️“

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

“Comida rica rápido y fácil“

“Great meal. Great service. Really one of the best seafood meals we’ve ever had.“

“The 5 lb boiled seafood bag of shrimp, mussels, clams, and crayfish was delicious. The bbq chicken wings were juicy and tasty.

Parking is plentiful since it's located in a shopping center.

If I'm ever back in the area, I plan on coming back to try more of the menu items.“

“Todo muy rico todos muy amantes“

“We absolutely loved this place!! First time here and it was great, a few things we loved- It was very clean, easily accessible, great/ fresh tasting food, a sink to wash hands in the room, great servers, complementary fries and ice cream. Things for everyone to eat, we had children and a couple picky eaters and we all enjoyed!“

“Muy rica la comida el personal muy amigables“

“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!“

“Exquisito 👌riquísimo muy buen servicio agradable ambiente“

“Came here with a group of 4 on a Friday around 530. We were seated and attended to right away. The service was nice and the food was really good. We actually found that going alacart was cheaper then getting a combo on the menu. My mom shared a 1/2 pound of shrimp, 1/2 pound of green muscles, we added corn and sausage and like 2 ordered of garlic bread, plus we each had a margarita and our total was like 60 dollars as opposed to one combo with no drinks, and no garlic bread is like 60 dollars. Anyhow the flavors were so good we tried the butter garlic on the shrimp and the stinken sauce flavor on the muscles and everything was delicious! I recommend this place because it's also really close to (driving close that is) the long Beach exchange/ hanger for some walking around after you are nice and stuffed.“

“really good place 👌 👏 😌 🙌 👍 ☺“

“Exelentes ....... .......“

“Everything was absolutely delicious!!! The hot passion mocktail was the perfect blend of tart and spicy. We had the duck tacos and pumpkin and prawn soup, which we would make a special trip back for. Manny was excellent and checked on us throughout the meal. Above and beyond service! There was live music with an amazing violinist and pianist. I would highly recommend this restaurant! Plus it's absolutely beautiful inside!“

“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.“

“Delicious Food and drinks“

“Awesome location, quick friendly service“
