Me sweating and enjoying the wings and pasta and lobster
Theo K.

Really good food! The other Cajun chains can feel the quality dip from their seafood sticking to the shells and watery sauces at least in past year or two. Was craving and brought my lawyer to enjoy (Haderlein of H&K law, employment law!). Really good service and ranch sauce made in house. Lobster was good and the poop track cleaned out, good size. Cajun fries and sausage were good! Lawyer ordered extra spicy so was bracing but wasn't too spicy where you can taste everything including the garlic and other. Noodles was good and picked up the sauce and garlic notes. Service was on point. Interior has that whimsy I'm starting to appreciate more vs millennial minimalist other stores. Good vibes inside and the music was throwback and solid. Wings were good and flavorful and more like Korean fifties chicken style and big. Table next to us ordered more wings after they devoured their first order, and it was their first time trying Boil daddy!

I have been looking for a local seafood boil place that rivals or even comes close to Kickin' Crab. I think it's safe to say that I've officially found that place. Not only was the sauce just as delicious, the quality and quantity of seafood seemed to surpass that of the Boil Daddy rival! I ordered the spiciest one which had a good kick, but I think it could have been spicier. Definitely not anything too hot to handle. What impressed me just as much as the food, was the service and care provided by Joe, the GM. He was extremely attentive and tended to our every need. You could tell he truly cared about the customer experience. He even provided us a complimentary cheesecake which was amazing! The bar looked amazing and they had plenty of booze available, though I didn't partake. I will definitely be back here in very chance I get as this is my type of place! Bravo Boil Daddy

Stopped in here during a holiday weekend a few weeks back and found the overall experience fine, but nothing super memorable. When I walked in there were no workers in the restaurant and the couple in front of me were whispering to each other trying to decide if they should leave. Someone eventually popped out of the back, but a single waiter/host for the entire restaurant meant he was stretched thin. The dining room is pretty drab. The music was low. The two or three other tables of people were quiet as well. These kinds of crab spots are all about being a bit fun, but that wasn't really happening here. The food itself was solid enough. I went with a cluster of snow crab legs, clams and the sausage, potatoes and corn that come with it. Sauce could have used a bit more kick and was pretty oily. The crabs were cooked very well and tasted fresh. The clams were pretty much mush. This is my second or third visit over the years and it feels like they may be in a cutting corners stage. Unfortunate, because my first visits here were pretty good. Not horrible in a pinch if you're craving a seafood boil, but I'm not sure if I'd recommend it.

Looking for another great Cajun seafood spot in West LA? Boil Daddy have got a big parking lot, super convenient. The Cajun sauce here is authentic and mouthwatering. The lobster combo comes with two huge lobster tails and your choice of peeled or unpeeled shrimp. My must-haves? Corn and sausage--done just right in that Cajun flavor. Plus, so many wing options--our favorite is the soy garlic. Perfect for date night, game night, or a fun night out with friends! IG : socalhkfoodies

I have ordered from here before but this time I fumbled. I typically order the mild spice level but tbh it doesn't have much spice so this time I decided to order medium spice level. Big mistake. My lips were on FIRE. Milk didn't even help that much. It was inedible so I washed off the sauce lmao. Luckily I had ordered shrimp in mild flavor so I was able to use that sauce for the crab legs that were medium spice. Learn from me and don't order the medium unless you enjoy your tongue and lips on fire and numb! I placed an online order for pick up. Service was fast and friendly. Plenty of tables inside for dining. They also have a bar area for drinks. The had a step and repeat inside which was cute. There is some parking on the side of the building so that was nice.

Such a cute establishment! First time trying it but it was a to go order. It was packaged very well and stayed hot until I got home. Sauce was great next time I'll do mild instead of original I like a little kick. I absolutely love that the potatoes are petite some places would give you whole regular sized potato lol service was friendly well staff member who took my order. I'll def be back to dine in the vibes are cool & they have a bar!!!

I love cajun seafood! This place is great for seafood plate with a lot of flavors. My friend didn't really eat much usually but this time she ate like going to an AYCE. The flavor is just right and not too salty or spicy. The rice plates are also really good. Servers are very friendly. They tried to converse with us. Great vibe and wonderful food!

Daddy's Noods

In LA for the weekend and stumbled upon this spot after a day at the beach! I'm blown away. The portions were incredible with my pasta and came with sooooo much shrimp. All of my friends loved their food as well. Highly recommend!!

1lb crawfish
Cortney T.

We were looking for a seafood boil spot in LA and came across Boil Daddy and decided to check it out. The service was great! The waitress, Sam, helped us out and was very attentive and nice! We ordered the calamari and 2 lb of crawfish. The food was decently good, but the calamari was more fries than calamari. There was barely a hand full of calamari and a whole mountain was fries. It was good but def think they should have more calamari on there. The crawfish sauce was good, but it also wasn't a lot. I'm used to my seafood being in a lot of sauce/broth. I felt like I had to really scoop to the bottom to get more flavor. Lastly, they have bottled beer, none on tap. Def wish they did tho!

Seafood, fries, churros
Harriotte D.

Great seafood! Ordered mild seafood for delivery and it was fabulous! Still pretty spicy but yummy. They were so nice and added churros!

Garlic and butter and Cajun sauce is not very flavorful. I'm from the south and there's no salt. I tried it twice, eehhh.

This place is indeed such a jewel of a place. We were walking back from Union Station after a…read moreDodger game and as we were walking by I was curious to see if the restaurant was actually open. The exterior looks like it should be, but unfortunately many restaurants have been closing in this part of the city. Luckily, it was indeed open and the interior was VIBRANT! The design was colorful, filled with hand chalked signs of the menu, and everything, from the tables to the art on the walls, burst with personality. This is a place where minimalism doesn't exist and instead, it spends every opportunity to showcase who it is. Ordering is relatively simple. You walk over to the counter and tell them what you want. Everything is made to order so it'll take some time, but when it comes to refreshments you can see their large selection of different drinks in their glass case refrigerator on the side. My junior high years inspired me and I had to get an Arizona ice tea. It came in clutch as refreshment considering how hot the day was. On one wall there was a huge TV showing the Fifa World Cup games. It caught my eye and so we decided to dine in instead of taking it to go. Great choice by the way since hot food is best to eat right away. And what exactly did I get? Their po' boys of course! You have to keep it classic. We had the popcorn shrimp po' boy and it was fantastic. Meaty, tangy from the sauce, and with the right amount of green in their fluffy but structurally intact bread, I believe I finished this in five minutes cause it was so good. My hunger didn't dissipate quickly so I had to go back for round two. The Debris Fries caught my eyes. Fries smothered with their brown gravy and cheese, it was a delicious disaster and warmed my belly and fulfilled my appetite. I was one happy food belly dad. Being connected to a small store with neon lights highlighting some of the hot sauces and merchandise you can buy on one side while connected to the pub next door on the other side, The Little Jewel of New Orleans is one of those places you take good friends to when you want to show them a special place where the food is delicious, the vibes are immaculate, and the experience unforgettable. Whether you have to find an excuse to come out here or the restaurant is the excuse, make your way to The Little Jewel of New Orleans the next time you're around Chinatown. You won't regret it. Bring that appetite with you!

The muffuletta bread was a bit dry but otherwise delicious. Debris fries really hit the spot.

It's messy in the best way, the kind of sandwich that demands respect and maybe a bib. * Fully Loaded Cajun Tots, These tots don't play around. They show up dressed to impress, cheese, toppings, flavor, the whole squad. It's basically a tiny potato block party, and you're invited. * Beignets, very delicious, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and dusted with enough powdered sugar to make you question your laundry choices. One bite and suddenly you're hearing jazz horns in the distance. Their coffee game....Dangerously good. My boogie coffee drink - latter came out smooth, sweet, and caffeinated enough to make me consider running around the block a few times. It's the kind of drink that makes you shimmy in your seat and say, "Yeah... life is good." This place nails the New Orleans vibe without trying too hard. Great food, fun energy, and a patio that makes you forget you're in LA traffic territory. Come hungry, come curious, and definitely come ready for powdered sugar on your shirt. Miguel C.

Just keep in mind that it is a small casual spot and not a big restaurant. Even though we ordered for pickup, it did look like a nice little setup.

The pricing was also frustrating: you pay for the meal, then pay extra for how it is prepared. I paid $44 for two small clusters of snow crab with very little meat. The food was mediocre and did not feel worth the price. I also had to keep swatting away fruit flies while trying to eat. I was there for an hour, and the waiter never checked on me after delivering my food. The music was extremely loud. When I asked for it to be turned down, it seemed to get even louder, which made the experience more unpleasant. You may wonder why I stayed. After a long weekend volunteering with the American Legion, where I am a member, I was simply too tired and hungry to go elsewhere. As a United States Army veteran, I value courtesy and respect, and I did not feel that either was reflected in the service I received. Overall, the food, service, atmosphere, and value fell short of my expectations. Between swatting away fruit flies, the loud music, and the lack of service, I will definitely never come back here. P.S. I had to go get my own to go bag and Noone spoke to me on the way out.
