We went with a group of friends with a reservation. However, we got seated in a super small table and barely had space to put 4 plates and utensils. We ordered the Jamalaya, friend chicken, pork rips, the beans & rice soup, tomato kimchi, and okura kimchi. We would say the food was good but the service was bad. They would check on us literally every few minutes and try to take our unfinished food. Although we were all still eating our food, they asked us if we were done with the food and wanted to have the leftover food for to-go. I didn’t even get to try the tomato kimchi as we felt so rushed and was basically being pressured to leave. A lot of us have heard good things about this place so we were excited so it’s really unfortunate that we didn’t have a good experience. Don’t think we would return to this restaurant nor recommend it to our friends.

Not worth the instagram hype. Food was different in taste and good. Absolutely cramped space. Reservations highly recommended.

First time here, but surprised with a taste of their Cajun & Korean fusion food. New Orleans & Seoul cuisine combined together. Can you imagine it? Cajun cuisine is known for its bold, spicy flavors and diverse ingredients, heavily influenced by French, Spanish, and African culinary traditions. Some popular Cajun dishes include gumbo, honey brown butter chips, jambalaya, crawfish and/or shrimp based dishes. On the other hand, a lot of kimchi based dishes represent Korean food. We had okra kimchi, and cobbler corn salad as an appetizer, followed with their meat bougin balls (4 in portion + Korean anchovy mayo) and NOLA BBQ Shrimp (served hot in cast iron, maybe too small in size for a main dish). Our check was $75 for two of us. They have individual menues for $60 when you have opportunity to try majority of their food. KJUN set fir 2 is $115, while CARNIVAL (serves 4-6 people) is $300. Nice and attentive people work here. They do not serve alcohol, soft drinks and root beer only.

Elevated take out Korean food with cajun seasoning. They still serve sauces in take out containers though. Oh! $9 a piece chicken thigh did not meet the hype.

This food is great. Service is great. I would say that you are better off getting dessert somewhere else.

I absolutely had a great time here this week. Found them after questioning the reviews of another restaurant,and I'm glad I did,Lol. The host couldn't find our reservation for some reason,but still took care of us. Our server was AMAZING, service is VERY QUICK! And the food was a great experience,I really want to go back one day and try more of their dishes. If you have the chance please make a reservation and check this place out,you WILL NOT be disappointed. Now,I will say it is a little small inside,but honestly that is what I loved about it. Thank you Kjun for a great experience. 🥰

Absolutely loved our dinner here. We didn't have a reservation so we walked-in. The place was full but they were kind enough to let us sit outside, and they provided hot water + blankets (excellent service +++). The fusion cuisine was very good and exciting (so different). They even gave us yakult for digestion after the meal. Highly recommend !
Catfish nuggets didn’t taste fresh but the mains were phenomenal - sausage / grits, gumbo, seafood jajangmyun and bbq shrimp all tasted authentic Cajun with fresh Korean twist. Every bite was rich and full of flavour. Owner was very friendly and service was great. Due to the popularity of this place, we had to sit outside for half the meal and the owner made up for it with giving us a free serving of shrimp; much appreciated and demonstrated great customer service. Book before if you can; we waited about 20 minutes but it was well worth the wait.

One of my favs. Omg - Po’boys are so good. I go to Kajun when I get homesick for Louisiana! And - don't tell anyone, but Chef’s gumbo is better than my Meme’s gumbo!
