When we went around 1pm there was plenty of street parking. The place is spacious. We got the medium spice house cajun sauce. Its pretty up there for me in seafood boil.

Went here for my birthday just to try something different. My husband and I were not sure what to expect but everything we had was delicious. I ordered the seafood gumbo and my husband got the 2 item seafood boil. Both exceeded our expectations. I would definitely recommend this place and would be willing to come back again.

I visited this place three days in a row while traveling because the food was honestly quite good. However, the service was consistently terrible. Staff members were rude and unprofessional—rolling their eyes at customers and acting like we were bothering them just by placing an order.
The worst part was when I placed an online order, and when I arrived, they told me they never received it—even though my credit card was charged. I ended up paying again with a different card just to get food. Now I’m on the road trying to sort this out with my bank, which is frustrating and stressful.
Given how expensive this restaurant is, I expected better service and more accountability. I’m extremely disappointed and won’t be coming back.

Food came out quick!
So many options. I actually enjoyed the simple smashed cucumber with a sweet soy and peanuts more than anything today.
I look forward to exploring more of the menu.

Food is so delicious and customer service is so amazing. And also they have a lot of varieties. I just discovered this place today and I’m in awe especially having visited other places. I think I’ve found my go to place now.

I went despite the rating, and I'm glad I did. Surprised to find that the food here is better than other Chinese restaurants in the Cities. Everything I tried (several skewers and a couple other dishes) was solid. Why is the rating so low? Perhaps because service can be slow; they were clearly understaffed, so I'd say don't come here if you want a quick bite, but if you have time, it's worth waiting! I felt bad for the waitress, clearly the only person taking orders, bussing tables, serving food, and processing checks, and was quite harried by it all. Recommend going to eat here and being understanding about the service, your taste buds will thank you.

Only because I cant give a 10 out of 5!!!!
AWESOME:
---> SERVICE – quick and efficient without being overbearing
---> FOOD
---> PORTIONS
---> VERY “reasonably” priced!!! The “meal” I had? $53.00 – VERY reasonable in my view……the price of two sandwiches at a place I frequent often – established 1958 (since I cant name them here) and this is MUCH better – more bang for the buck)
Fried Vietnamese Spring roll - three – cooked to perfection
Shrimp Fried Rice - “they” DON’T “skimp” on the shrimp – very flavorful!!
Black Pepper Chicken – again - “they” DON’T “skimp” on the portions – very flavorful!!
Beef Kebabs – WOW!! VERY tender and flavorful!!! The steak/(beef) VERY tender and seasoned perfectly!!!
Also – this place is CLEAN – CLEAN - CLEAN!!! Quick to clean up after guest depart – the floors (to me a very good indicator of the restaurants commitment to “cleanliness”) their floors? Immaculate!!
The food is cooked to order – so it takes a little longer – but (“art”) – great cooking does – the “wait” is NOT “terrible” – I was there on a Saturday night and they did AWEOME!!!
So, if your ever in town….looking for a great place to eat? This is the place!!

Poorly packed food. Leaked all over my seat.
The fried rice was almost ok, but the flavor wasn't consistent as some bites were better than others. It's soggy and the rice is barely fried.
Spicy fried chicken wasn't great either. Had a weird sweet taste to it.
Spent like $60 for a seat stain and less than mediocre food.
I'll have to pass on this place. Can get better for $20 elsewhere.

Everything we ordered was *chef kiss* delicious! It’s really authentic food and perfectly seasoned and fresh. The seafood congee and eggplant dishes were my favorite. The prices are really great as well.

This place is in front of a somewhat busy street. We parked in front of the building, which you have to pay for the meter. The inside is very spacious, it was just us and one other group. The options are endless. Food came out pretty quick and still hot. All the food we had was good and flavorful, although it's on the pricier side. Portion size was decent.

The Cajun House is so good and has so many unique different types of foods that you cannot find on any other restaurants menu in the area. I recently stopped in and had the soft shell crab and fried frog legs. Both were excellent. Great seasoning on the batter. Great portions for the price. They also have a great selection of specialty drinks and beer to choose from. Service was quick and friendly.
I'll be going back soon to try some of the more unique menu items like spicy pork brains, intestines soup, and pork feet. If you're an adventurous eater like me, check out their menu.
