This place is authentic Chinese style with Cajun flavor. Lobster combo is SO good, but I don't like that the hot food is put in a plastic bag within a pale. It's hard to get the food out. Everything else is great! It seems like they are short staffed, so service is a little slow. But I will definitely come back again!

I had the gumbo, and it was good. I used live down south and know gumbo. While perhaps not strictly n'awlins legit, let's call it a good Minnesota approximation. The place is a true melange of flavors with BBQ and other flavors on the menu. The gumbo was good enough I'll be back to try some of their other offerings.

I have been coming here for 5 years. This place has the best Cajun boil I’ve ever had. If you haven’t been here - do yourself a favor and try it. House Cajun sauce is amazing, get it hot! Owners are very kind and hospitable.

Dang the little appetizers were really good. I got a few skewers and they were all delicious! My favorite was the fried frog legs. Better than chicken wings dang. Got some scallop/oysters and I assume they use their cajun sauce for it. A little saltier than I like. We got bbq pork, it was a tad too rich and it was tough. Made my gums sore. Got pork feet too! Probably the least favorite I've had anywhere to be honest. The skin is tough and not edible. The sauce was thick soy sauce flavor. I would go back just to try more appetizers!

So goooooooooooooood. I ate an entire spicy seafood boil combo solo with an extra pound of octopus and pork belly with a scallion pancake to wipe my plate clean. DEFINITELY returning. Great Asian Cajun fusion. ?

Great marketing by those within the Cajun community has Asian restaurants calling themselves cajun. With that being said I walked from my hotel to this place to to pick up a couple of things to take back to my room. I visited The Cajun House and was impressed with the restaurant's ambiance and menu offerings.I ordered the Mango Pomelo Sago ( Mango pomelo sago is a type of contemporary Hong Kong dessert. Diced mango, pomelo, sago, coconut milk, and milk) It was okay just lack the flavor I expected. I also ordered the Spicy Fried Chicken Wings since they didn't have the Korean Chicken Wings. The wings weren't close to being spicy but they were good and crispy. Overall, The Cajun House was okay and I would visit again if in the area.

Great! I've been looking for a seafood boil since I left Virginia and this was spot on. I had a cluster of snow crab and head-on shrimp, they came with 2 potatoes and 2 corn.

First time to be here. The price is attractive, not expensive compared to other Asian restaurants. The quality of food is not bad. We ordered the eggplant with salty fish. It turned out there was no fish in the pot but with stingy smell of salty fish, which reminded me of my hometown dish. We also ordered the braised chicken without any bone inside. Since we last ordered the same dish back in Boston, it is really difficult to find the right braised chicken that we expected or we had before back in China.

The Seafood Boil with so many options was perfect for all 5 of us! The service was so genuinely welcoming and incredibly efficient, patient, and capable. She made our whole experience easy and completely effortless. The Orange Chicken was wonderful too. And the delicious Mango Smoothie! Every item a winner that will have us returning again and again. We celebrated 2 birthdays and had young children there too -- and we all walked away clean as can be! Loved the table plastic, the bibs, and the gloves -- a great culinary adventure!Kid-friendliness: They made the children feel welcome and valued and asked them to come and say hello any time. Just like family!

Do not be fooled, oh friends-- this is not a Cajun restaurant. While yes, they serve beautiful looking Cajun seafood boils, that probably taste as good as they smell, the true gem is their Chinese food. Probably the best I've had in the twin cities, perhaps even in the Midwest. We came for the 烧烤-- barbecue skewers. I didn't grab a picture of the beef skewers we started with as we were too quick to eat them. Absolutely stunning. The beef was inundated with cumin and chili, and was quick to arrive, piping hot. The prince of this meal was the eggplant (of which we ordered two :0). The garlic sauce was intoxicating. I will warn that you may be sweating garlic for a week after, but it was well worth it. You won't be thinking of anything else. The princess was the bean curds (豆皮)。stuffed to the brim with enoki and greens, it was meaty, crispy, and fresh. We didn't need to order the chives because of how much veg was in the tofu skin. Again, fodder for my dreams. The King of the meal was the noodles. Steamed rice noodle with beef flank. OH. MY. GOD. The beef was falling apart tender-- sweet with star anise and cinnamon. The noodles were fresh and spongy, and soaked up the decadent sauce. The woman who helped us flipped fluidly between English and Mandarin, and was kind, joyful, and clearly proud of the incredible food this restaurant could offer. All in all, amazing. Not to be cheesy, but this place is incredible.
