Was craving some ramen and decided to try somewhere new. The place was clean and simple, order at the counter and they brought it out quick. The menu had lots of options. We liked what we got but weren't absolutely enamored with it either. Definitely satisfied the cravings for the night though!! read more

I get excited every single time I see them at a festival. At this point, I've tried everything from the soft shell crab, to wonderfully tempura battered fish but my absolute favorite is the beef yakiniku.

Ajun Cajun is a cool spot on Oak Street. I decided to give them a shot by trying their fried shrimp platter w fries & broccoli salad w a side of their Cajun sauce. The service was to the point you walk in order at the bar and seat yourself and a server brings out your food. Everything was fried perfectly the batter had a little heat from the pepper but it was good none the less. The Cajun sauce had a hint of sesame oil it was tasty too but I would've loved some tartar sauce which they didn't carry. Overall it was a good meal. I'll just bring my own tartar sauce next time. read more

My daughter and I got delivery from here recently and we really liked it! As the name suggests it is Cajun food with an Asian twist. Sounds crazy but it works! We ordered the Yakiniku Po-Boy, and the Teriyaki Chicken Po-Boy. We preferred the Teriyaki, but both were delicious! Prices are reasonable for what you get. Can't wait to try some of their other offerings! read more

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the food and service I received from your vendor Ajun Cajun in food area 2. On the last day of the May 5, 2025 around 4pm I ordered shrimp yakisoba with the pan fried noodles. After paying for the food the cashier gave me a ticket to step aside to pickup my food. Upon recieving the food I asked for a fork. The young man that gave me food told me a fork was already in the plate. But his coworker standing next to him reached in the plate put his finger in the food, lifted the foil and touched the fork. I was horrified!!! I told him how rude he was and did not want it anymore. I asked the nicer guy to please give me another plate because he put his finger in my food. The big mean guy began to curse at me and told me get my ass away from his window or he will come from the counter and show me! My husband stepped in and told him to watch his mouth. That's when someone yelled out to the cashier to intervene about my complaint and his behavior. She told the nicer guy to give me another plate and if I was ok. The big mean guy continued mouthing off to me as we walked away. At that point my life felt threatened with his aggression. This experience was particularly disappointing because for the last 30 years we purchased tickets for each weekend and attend all days! And also given the high standards typically associated with this event. And the food was dry, shrimp was not deveined and food was horribl!! read more

This was probably the highlight of my food adventures during the visit to NoLa. My friend had a list of local spots to check out, and cajun japanese fusion sounded quite interesting so we gave it a try. As you make your way here, you'll be driving through a residential neighborhood and then arrive at a big house where they're located. They have a few parking spaces out back, as well as some tables setup under a tent outside. They're currently only doing takeout and that's why they have the tables available outside. We ordered a bunch of stuff, and we were all very happy. I had the cajun tuna tataki po boy which was wonderful and fresh, and also had the takoyaki which was on par with takoyaki I've had in Japan or other Japanese spots in the US. This place is worth going to even if you're just visiting as a tourist. read more

Food was amazing. The pork katsu curry reminded me of Japan. It is a must try. The place is a small Cajun Asian fusion serving New Orleans / Japanese food. Very unique place. Service was great as well. I would definitely come back to try other dishes. read more

Had the Beef Yakiniku poboy and Shrimp Po Boy. Atmosphere was cool. Yakiniku poboy was unique and delicious but cheese wasn't melted enough. Shrimp poboy was fried and seasoned well but needed more of their special sauce. read more

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would. The ramen I tried was PHENOMENAL! I promise, it's the best ramen in New Orleans. The tonkotsu ramen here blows other area ramen shops out of the water. As a Japanese girl that appreciates good ramen, Ajun Cajun ramen tastes authentic. This comes with no surprise because this shop is one of the few Japanese restaurants in New Orleans run by actual Japanese owners. It's a must try spot for anyone who loves ramen! The ramen is as authentic to Japan as you can get in New Orleans. We tried the miso and the tonkotsu, and they were both fantastic! Taste-wise phenomenal, portions were generous, and the prices were very fair ($14). I loved the tonkotsu and can't recommend it enough, but my boyfriend loved the miso more. They cook their pork bones for the broth for two whole days here, so the broth is just packed full of that rich decadent flavor you need in ramen. As a side note, we also tried the oyako-donburi ($12). Delicious! Tastes like my grandma's home-cooking in Japan! General overview, this is a super cute casual space with cafeteria-style dining. Meaning, you order and pay at the counter and help yourself to drinks. They will bring the food to your table, but then you toss the trash and bring the dirty dishes to their bins yourself after you're done. I actually love and prefer it this way. (This might be how they keep their menu prices so reasonable compared to other Japanese places!) The space is decorated with tons of plants and lights for a cozy feel. It feels like a comfy day-time coffee shop, but they are open for meals only from 3pm to 9pm. I've been told the restaurant started off exclusively doing pop-ups at festivals, and they decided to open up a permanent location a few years ago. If it hadn't been for the pandemic, I probably would have heard about this spot sooner! This is a family-owned shop where you'll probably get to meet the mother/daughter duo. Momo (the chef) and Angel (front of the house) were lovely! My only regret is that I didn't discover this place sooner!! read more

I guess this review is very timely. I love "real" ramen, but so far this is only the third ramen place I have gotten to try in the New Orleans area. Of those three, one has gone out of business and one has recently switched to serving fried chicken. Oh dear. So how was Ajun Cajun? First, I'd like to mention that it actually has a parking lot, which is a nice amenity. It also had a couple of outdoor tables under a decent sized canopy, so I didn't have to worry about my shade vanishing halfway through my meal. Very nice. I got the pork tonkotsu ramen with added corn. It was so good! There was enough for two meals, and after each meal I was licking my bowl for every last drop of that broth. Will definitely be back. read more

I've had lots of ramen, coming from los angeles. But this place. This place has the best ramen I have ever had in my life, with the best eggs I've ever had. The only thing that was not 100% completely perfect were the noodles, but at that point, when everything else is perfection, can I really complain? This place is worth a trip to new orleans on its own read more

If this place was located in a more popular area it would be crazy busy but for some reason oak street businesses struggle to survive. Most restaurants only survive a year or two at best. The fact that Ajun Cajun has made it this far is a testament to their flavorful cuisine. read more

Tried to go here for dinner tonite and were unpleasantly surprised to find out that they are closed for jazz fest.

I'm not going to lie - the name of the place and its sign outside kind of deterred me from visiting this place; it wasn't until my friend asked me to go did I finally muster up the courage to do so. And honestly, don't make the same mistake I did. First off, they have a parking lot. We know how difficult that is to find around here so that's a major plus. The server/co-owner(?) was really friendly and helped us choose what we should get. My friend got the ramen whereas I opted for the Yakiniku poboy and Cajun fries. Man, first off the Cajun fries are perfectly crispy and the sauce that it comes with is sooo good. He wouldn't tell us what it's made of, but he doesn't know how persistent I am. The poboy was decently sized and the meat has a garlic sauce (almost bulgogi like) and mozzarella cheese. It's definitely an interesting taste but I didn't mind it at all. I highly recommend the place if you haven't visited yet! read more

Best Japanese restaurant in town hands down. I have tried their tonkostu ramen, curry rice with Katsu, their miso ramen, yakisoba and udon.

Highly recommend this place and another bonus point is their items are very reasonably priced. read more

This is not only one of the most unique restaurant concepts, it's also expertly executed (and with a lot of love, at that). Ajun Cajun is the best of all worlds and whether you're a visitor or a local, it's a must-try! We visited on a Monday night and it was a quiet one, which was really nice, given that over the weekend it was hard to get a reservation at places that are slowly, but surely getting "back to normal." Right now, this glorious place is FOH -operated by the owner, who is the nicest guy. I loved hearing how this concept came to be, as sort of a second generation of Ninja, which we did visit when we lived here years ago. Ajun Cajun is its hip, younger sibling, a fusion of the two cuisines, thanks to the owner being of both Cajun and Japanese descent. This isn't some BS hipster trend, but an authentic representation of both flavors. The menu is extensive and has plenty of vegetarian/vegan options, including ramen, udon and donburi. I ordered the latter. It's a simple dish with loads of vegetables, tofu skin (my favorite!) over rice, and it's seasoned perfectly, so that I couldn't help but finish every bit of the very generous portion. My husband had their famous yakiniku po-boy, which is sliced rib-eye with cheese, dressed. He pretty much inhaled the thing, so yeah, I believe it lived up to the hype. I CAN report as to the cajun-spiced fries which are insanely perfect. I really love this place and feel like it'll be on our regular rotation when visiting home again. read more

A hole-in-the-wall, hidden gem of an Asian fusion spot if I ever did see one. You get a mix of Japanese food with Cajun flair, and it's become 100% my favorite ramen spot in Nola. The noodles are cooked perfectly, the broth is rich and flavorful. They are practicing safe, social distancing guidelines as of February 2021 - with masks and take out options. What stands out is the SUPER friendly service. Even on the phone they were really accommodating! Overall a perfect spot for some good comfort ramen away from the hustle & bustle of the city. read more

Pretty good and the service was great. I had the ribeye poboy and it was really flavorful! Literally, every bite had flavor. The ribeye was tender and they definitely loaded the poboy up. The Cajun fries were good as well. The sauce that comes with the fries are like a spicy mayo but sweet. I wasn't a fan. I think the fries can go without it. Overall, it was good and I would visit again. It's not a place I would crave for everyday, atleast for me but it's good! read more

I saw a post on FB last week about Ajun Cajun on Oak street and decided to try it for lunch. The food was so amazing I came back the same night for dinner. I'm back here again for lunch. The Beef Udon was absolutely to die for. Delicious broth and noodles were so fresh and perfect thickness and consistency! What kills me is that the restaurant is empty! Maybe they are much busier at other times, but I want to urge those of you out there who want a OUTSTANDING meal to check this place out. Seems to be family owned by a mother and daughter. Definitely a place that NOLA should embrace and support. Just by the way, I saw the mom outside using her weed whacker on the lawn after she had made our meals. Talk about a doing it all as a business owner! Check this place out, you will not be disappointed! read more

My husband and I picked up takeout on a Thursday evening. We shared the Yakiniku and Saginaki po-boys. They were excellent! The service process was quick and they brought it out to the car. The only thing was, when we got home the bottom bread was mushy and soaked through. Next time, I will ask for the bread and filling separate for transport. I am excited to try their soft shell crab po boy! #yelplove read more

My new favorite place! They have their own parking lot off Oak, it's never been packed every time we went, the menu is broad and has a lot of options for everyone, and their ramen is to die for. I'm ashamed to admit I've only ordered one item from them every single time because I love trying new things, but I just can't cheat on their ramen like that. It's TO DIE FOR. I love that all their ramen comes with Chashu (pork), bok choy, mushrooms, and nori (seaweed), you just pick your base and any extra toppings. I always add corn, garlic oil, and a seasoned soft boiled egg. It's super filling, super comforting, and the taste is excellent through the last drop. My husband has at least mixed it up a bit. He tried their rise and shine poboy with grilled sausage, scrambled eggs, and torched cheese on top (don't knock it until you try it), and this time he got the pepper shrimp poboy which is grilled shrimp tossed in this mildly spicy pepper sauce. Fries aren't included in the price of the sandwich, but worth it to add on. They're like the Rally's batter fries, and they're served with their pink sauce made famous at festivals on their fried softshell crab poboy (tastes like it has sesame oil in it, and it does have little tiny orange fish row in it, so vegans be aware), but it's definitely habit forming. Order at the counter and then sit down, and sometimes they have a waiter to help bus their tables, but if you have a free hand, the bins and trashcan are all labelled for where you out your trays and cups and stuff! read more

You won't be disappointed! It may looked closed but pull into the parking lot and enter on the side because it definitely it worth the trip!! The hostess is sweet and explained everything to us! Check out the menu board as you walk in but also grab one of the written menus because they have more items listed on it. Wonderful spin on Asian/Cajun food. The Ramen is delicious and giant. Authentic Japanese flavors! You order and pick up your own food at the counter not to mention clear your own table but prices are reasonable. Make sure you arrive early, they close at 8:00 PM on Saturday night. When we were leaving they had about 9 people walk in at about 7:30 which put them into over load but they were very accommodating and grateful to have the business. We definitely hope they stay around! Lots of yummy, yummy for your tummy! read more

This place is very unassuming and easy to miss if you aren't looking but it's a gem! The front door isn't on oak st tho, it's to the left of the building. They have AMAZING Japanese curry!! It tastes like my favorite I had in New York. Absolutely delicious and it's well seasoned. I will definitely frequent just for this dish. There ramen also looks like it's good. Only reason it's 4 stars is because they wouldn't give us an option to get it without pork or sub the pork for a different meat. My boyfriend doesn't eat Pork so it was disappointing. We may try again to do this next time and see if they'll work with us. It should be fairly easy since they have miso and shio options. Will update my review if we can! The staff is also very nice and friendly read more

Too bad this place only allowed outside seating but the day wasn't too cold. I was expecting some spicy Cajun dishes but got average. The Salmon Poboy was good but not excellent. It was very fresh but the flavor wasn't there for me. The winner of the show was the Edamame! It tasted like it was dipped in a soy/ginger/garlic sauce and then grilled? Man, that was epic. Salute to the nice lady behind the counter. She was very nice and attentive. I love outta the way spots in less busy neighborhoods and this one is that. I'd definitely come back and try other dishes. The other stuff coming out smelled great. read more

The place was very unique and had a inviting interior. The side dishes we had were good, but felt as though some items like the Cajun fries or the gyoza's were just frozen items they microwaved. I came in as a group of 4 and we ordered ramen and a don bowl. Two of us had the champon Ramon, which was very confusing. There was too much vegetables/individual flavors that it took away the enjoyment of the broth and noodles. The bowls came in plastic containers which made our dining experience feel somewhat lackluster as it felt as though I was eating instant ramen. Overall, this place has good side dishes, but the entrees were disappointing.I didn't try their Cajun side of the restaurant but would definitely come back to try it. read more

My husband had complained about not having a ramen place in our neighborhood and BAM Eater had an article about a new ramen place opening up on Oak St. We walked on a cold weather day. I ordered Tonkatsu ramen with an egg and corn. My husband ordered the Nabeyaki Udon. We got the Ajun Cajun chicken and the pickled vegetables on the side. I got a hot green tea (with two free refills) and my husband got a Sapporo beer. The chicken is DELICIOUS- it's dark meat and definitely fried in a seasoned corn starch so it's not heavy or greasy but perfectly cooked, seasoned, and tender. Honestly, it's delicious. We will 100% come again. It's super close to where we live, the food is fantastic, and the prices are affordable. read more
