Fried food done nicely but it's the stuff you can buy at Costco. The curry was good but the pad see was sticky and without any sauce. The clam chowder was a Thai thom yum that visited New England and tried its best but isn't that great.

We come here all the time! If you get the shrimp, i recommend getting a side of steamed rice to clean up the rest of the sauce! Try it, you will thank me!

This is one of LA’s hidden gems! They give you a bib and it’s a feat to get your hands into the food…literally! Pick any of the seafood bucket options with the medium mixed spice - absolutely delectable! Can’t recommend this enough!

I always come here to enjoy the shrimp, (Indian spice, peeled, medium spice), and they are always wonderful. The service is simple but friendly, and the shrimp are always fresh. (You WILL need a bib and maybe gloves! I love it!) Enjoy!

Very very disappointed. to be fair, the shrimp that my wife and son ordered were great. However the fish & chip was the worst ever. I mean unbleavably awful; the fish was old, it may have been from the night before.

Sadly disappointed, the ribs was very very tough to eat, fries were ok. Garlic noodles w/ shrimp was flavorless. Had to go home and revamp them with a plethora of seasonings. Not worth $40

Seafood soup was good. It was served with heating under the metal serving bowl, see the picture. The crab had very thin shells without much meat. Lots of work to get out minimum of meat. Atmosphere is kinda wild.

Good service and you can split a combo if you're on a budget. If you're not good with spicy make sure to get mild or less because it has a kick to it. Cute atmosphere. They give you little bibs and over the table cause it's messy. You might want to uber over because parking is difficult over here even when it's not busy. All the food we tried tasted good. Clams had a little grit but otherwise good food.

The peeled shrimp pot with garlic butter and potatoes and corn is sooo delicious I love how they have $4 beers and the servers are all very nice! There’s indoor and outdoor seating, and the ambiance is so chill Stickers on the walls, cool lights everywhere Def a fun place to go to munch out!

This has been our go to spot for years. I fly back into Los Angeles and my son and daughter-in-love take me here with my daughter. Tonight was soo disappointing they have literally price gauged with charging for every single thing (and without informing the customer). We were charged for butter after ordering the largest bucket (why wouldn’t a butter come with a $65.99 bucket with crab?). We were charged for peeling shrimp (he asked if we wanted it, without conveying a cost). We were charged for an additional Thai tea and not until we called because they didn’t bring it to us did they call did they confirm they didn’t give it to us. Our bill is usually over $200 and you would have to to literally over charge us? It’s so upsetting when a business receives your loyalty - ongoing and they do this.

An interesting restaurant that was introduced to me by sheer luck. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and sheer amount of seafood options that were offered in this place. The shrimp and mussels were delicious in combination with their homemade sauce. I would wholeheartedly recommend trying the food if you enjoy seafood and are fine with casual dining.

I loved this place when I was younger. it's still pretty good, but growing older I noticed everything is really salty. the wings this time around were a little overdone in the fryer too, not as plump or juicy as I remember them to be. still, as far as thai cajun shrimp boils go, this is still better than a lot of the others.

I wasn't happy with my to go order today. I ordered 1lb shrimp and they only put it in plastic bags no box container like they use to. I also asked for side hot sauce, eating utensils and gloves and none of those items were given to me. It was a cheap looking presentation. There are other places right up the street that can do better. I won't be back for a while.

I strongly suggest to find another Cajun seafood restaurant. This was far below any standard , The order taker on the phone seemly had less than average English speaking skills to understand an order. Let alone take an order correctly.

Discovered this place delivering for others. What a gem! The 'spicy' shrimp was too spicy for me the first time, so i got the chili on the side the next 👌 ordered it with extra corn bc who doesn't love buttered garlic corn? 😋 Also got the Tom Kha with chicken & it was very good with lots of mushrooms 🍄 tomatoes 🍅 & chicken, but a teeny bit heavy on the tomato. Drunken noodles with pork was tasty & had plenty of pork, although the pork was a teeny bit tough/overdone. Thai iced tea was good too. Not very photogenic (so I didn't take any) 🤷‍♀️ Plenty of parking & fast friendly service despite being pretty busy

My daughter who lives in LA, had been and was anxious to take us. Early dinner on a Thursday night and we still had a 30 minute wait. This is a Cajun seafood restaurant in Koreatown section of LA. Once seated, service was fast and attentive. We had the spicy shrimp, raw oysters and their famous Cajun spice fries. Food is served on brown paper covered table, arrives in plastic bags, which you dump on the table. Customers were of varied generations, genders, and races. Very diverse. Family friendly. I would go back. Casual dining, but plan on spending as much asyou would on a more formal sit-down restaurant dinner in Koreatown . Fast food, but pricey.

Ate here last evening. The Restaurant was very crowded for Wednesday evening. Many families and groups of diners here at 8:30 Pm. We were 4 adults and 1 child tried BBQ Pork Ribs, Mini Combo with Crawfish ***Spicy with Garlic Butter and a side of Gallic Bread, the highlight of the meal. The Spicy option was very spicy, use caution. One kicker, the restaurant added on a 15% Gratuity?? I did not ask about it, but should have. This practice is common with a large group, but unusual for smaller groups. Caught me by surprise! The service was good and I didn't mind paying the tip, but I prefer to decide on the amount...

Was a little doubtful when I saw the place from the outside. But once you get in, you can feel that this is one of those places that focuses on incredible sea food. We had 2 types of shrimps- non spicy And spicy! And yes, they were really spicy and not for the faint hearted. The cajun fries punched a kick. The NZ mussels were a little small but were also very good! The fried oysters were beautifully crumbed. I want to hit this place again!!!! Oh, the prices were very reasonable. $20 per person? Unbelievable. Service was very friendly, and servers were always on the watch for customers needing cold water to douse the spice. haHahaha!
