KJUN is a small eatery that combines Cajun and Korean flavors, and it has gained a lot of attention from both locals and visitors. The Fried chicken with gochujang remains crispy and flavorful, not too spicy, while the Jabchae with squid ink is still fantastic. The Seafood Jjajangmyun is amazing, and the Boudon balls continue to impress diners. The friendly staff and attentive chef, Chef Jung, contribute to a highly recommended dining experience. Customers express delight at the fusion of New Orleans and Seoul cuisine, enjoying the bold, spicy Cajun flavors influenced by various traditions, along with popular Korean kimchi dishes. Appetizers such as okra kimchi and cobbler corn salad are favored, alongside menu options like kimchi jambalaya and ribs, which many recommend as must-tries. The restaurant offers individual menus for around $60 and larger sets for groups, with attentive service and no alcohol—only soft drinks and root beer. Despite its small size, the cozy atmosphere is charming and perfect for trying a variety of dishes at a leisurely pace. The fried chicken takeout is praised for its flavorful, tender inside and crispy outside, served with a sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy pickled watermelon rind as a side, plus complimentary coffee butter cookies. The online ordering system is easy to use, making it convenient to enjoy their Korean-Cajun fusion at home. Many visitors leave happy and full, eager to return for another round.
