Cajun Restaurants near Lakewood, CA

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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✌️🤗“

“really good place 👌 👏 😌 🙌 👍 ☺“

“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.“

“Awesome location, quick friendly service“

“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.“
