KJUN is a small eatery that combines Cajun and Korean flavors. The Fried chicken with gochujang was crispy and had a nice flavor, not too spicy. The Jabchae with squid ink was fantastic. The Seafood Jjajangmyun was amazing, and the Boudon balls were great too. The friendly staff and attentive chef make this a recommended dining experience. Customers have expressed delight at the fusion of New Orleans and Seoul cuisine, noting the bold, spicy Cajun flavors influenced by French, Spanish, and African traditions, along with popular Korean kimchi dishes. Appetizers such as okra kimchi and cobbler corn salad are enjoyed, along with menu options like meat bougin balls with Korean anchovy mayo and NOLA BBQ Shrimp served hot in cast iron. 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, many find the cozy atmosphere charming and perfect for trying a variety of dishes. The fried chicken takeout is praised for its flavorful, tender inside and crispy outside, 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.
