Shrimp Garlic Noodle
Wen L.

First time trying seafood boil, and I love it. The sauce is very good, especially with rice. We ordered combo A for 2 people. I liked the clams the most then mussels then the shrimp. The shrimp didn't soak up the sauce as well as the others. The corn was delicious too, especially with the sauce. My friend liked the sausages too. The cajun fries were addicting!

Cajun Fries
Su T.

Overall experience disappointed me enough to go out of my way to leave this review. Now, I adore seafood boil so this was disheartening. We came in at 6:45-7; we ordered cajun fries, a seafood combo, garlic noodles, & some steamed rice. Canjun fries to start, was the only thing that tasted good. Garlic noodles were bland and consistency was too soft; I expected from the reviews stating "stand-out" garlic noodles it would taste exceptional, but instead they're noodles with a whisper of garlic. The seafood boil was probably the worst. They definitely gave us the scraped leftovers of the pot, poured in boiling water, and called it a day. ABSOLUTELY NO FLAVOR. We kept trying to dig into the bag and giving it an absurd amount of chances to eventually discover better flavor using all my faith, only to be left so dissatisfied. It was supposed to be a mix of Canjun and Garlic Butter flavor, but the better description compares to orange water with chopped vegetable bits. No richness, no gloves given, flavor and viscosity similar to water, and the seafood definitely wasn't fresh either as it caused our stomachs to feel pretty sick after. I felt so shocked I experienced a seafood boil that could hold no flavor especially when you consider all the seasonings and preparation that goes into it. I left feeling sad having to pay for an inadequate dinner.

Garlic Noodle & Chicken wings
Austin Y.

I tried calling in to place a pickup order... and after nine calls with no answer, I gave up. Decided to DoorDash it for pickup instead. Forty-five minutes later, I roll in, and there's the lady just standing there. At that point, I couldn't help but wonder: if you were free enough to stare into space, could you maybe have answered the phone? Anyway, I grab my order and head home. The garlic noodles? Barely any garlic flavor, and the noodles were stuck together like they were holding on for dear life. I ordered one mild and one spicy -- except they both tasted the same: SPICY AS H*LL. And this is coming from someone with a high spice tolerance. The shrimp? Way too soft, almost mushy. And some of the clams came with just the shell -- like a cruel little seafood prank. But the chicken wings hit. Austin Yee

Sweet Potato Fries
Bill P.

The garlic butter shrimp with corn and sausage is the usual go to order consisting of large shrimps. The current price for one pound of shrimp or clams is $23. The basil clams were surprisingly good combination. Clams had lots of pieces in there and there wasn't any loose pieces. French fries and sweet potatoes fries are a must buy. The Cajun seasoning is better on the chicken wings than the fries. If you're not a fan of seafood, there is garlic noodles and Cajun fried rice with diced Louisiana hot links. Garlic bread is made with fresh bread, and there is a generous amount of garlic to dip into your sauce. They provide gloves and buckets to put your shells. Staff was attentive to our needs asking how we liked the food or any additions to our current course. They have a couple big tables for parties of 6 or more. This would be a good place to have dinner and watch the game on their TV. Tip: order the Thai tea. the owner makes it from loose leaf instead of the powder for a more fragrant tea flavor.

Shrimp with combo sauce.
Patricia S.

Boiling Crab (BC) is still my favorite but when I don't feel like driving to the South Bay, I'll come here. I'm not a fan of their combo sauce. I was hoping for something like BC's whole shabang sauce but it had more spices. Partners family loves it though. I got the garlic butter and it was good though I'd like more garlic in it. Cajun fries are decent but won't order again. Garlic noodles are good and I prefer them over Thanh Long.

Seafood Combo B
Angel K.

Overall, it's really hard to find a seafood boil in SF; most places are in Easy Bay or South Bay. However, this one definitely helps fight the cravings! Went here to celebrate my birthday dinner on a weekday night. We went an hour and a half before closing, and the restaurant was empty, except for the staff. We ordered the: - Seafood Combo B (1/2lb Shrimp, 1/2lb Clam, 1/2lb Mussel, 1/2 Dungeness Crab Legs) + non-spicy - Gumbo Food was pretty good and fast! It isn't my favorite cajun place, but it definitely helped curb the craving when we didn't want to drive out to another city to eat. I DEFINITELY ate that entire boil on my own and did not hesitate to because it was so tasty and had a good ratio of seafood. I would rate it at 3.5/5 for taste, how quickly the food was prepared for us, and how nice the staff was. The waitress kindly provided us: a table with paper lining on top, gloves, and a bucket to put the seafood shells in. For the restaurant, it was fairly small with a TV playing soccer. No other patrons but me and my friend, but it wasn't awkward at all; it felt very nice to have a quieter space to eat. TLDR; I would go here if you don't want to drive out to other cities and just want to curb the craving. However, if you're looking to impress your friends for BEST tasting seafood, I would drive to Boiling Crab or even further: Crab N Spice.

I love seafood boil and Cajun House is one of my go to in the Bay Area. Whenever I go, I get the garlic noodles, mixed vegetables (sautéed in garlic) and one of the combos depending on what I'm in the mood for. The sauce I usually get is the House Cajun and Garlic Butter (medium spice). Such a GOOOOOOOD combination! All of the staff are always so welcoming, friendly, and helpful!

I love Cajun house. Anytime I have a craving for Cajun food and crawfish, I come here. Ben and Wendy are amazing and have great sauces. Typically come here for crawfish, but when it's not in season, I come for crab, clams, and shrimp. Always order the gumbo and broccolini or cauliflower. Always chooses house Cajun. Place is small with only a few workers. So be patient. And make reservations if you can.

This place is top notch when it comes to food and service. Ben and Wendy were amazing. We even had them take shots with us, not too many since there were working and we were their last customers of the night. We brought a cake and gave it to Wendy to surprise our friend for her birthday, wendy was funny because she actually told the birthday girl about the cake when we were discussing the menu. Now for the food. The garlic noodles, were perfect. Al dente, the flavor so amazing and the garlic and butter well balanced. The mussels in fresh basil surprised me since I didn't think it would be one of my favorites of the night. We ordered lemon pepper chicken wings, who does that at a Cajun restaurant?! We do! It was better than some wing places that I have been, the only caveat is that I wished we asked for extra crispy. The two crabs we ordered had the "butter" inside, which was so silky smooth, unfortunately I had to share with others. The shrimps were not over cooked and were not chewy but tender just the way I like them. We also had oysters that were fresh and had a slight salty flavor. My mouth is watering just thinking of this dinner. Can't wait to go back with good friends.

Definitely worth visiting when in San Francisco!

Y-U-M, full stop…read more How can I have lived in SF for more than 25 years and never once made it to this place?! For two of us we ordered a dozen oysters (sweetwaters, kusshis and miyagis), a bowl of clam chowder, the steamed artichoke w/citrus aioli, the Caesar salad w/crab and some bread on the side. And two glasses of Corsican rosé. ALL of it was scrumptious. It was just the right amount of food for us, though next time we will downsize the clam chowder or order a plain Caesar to fit another half dozen oysters into our bellies. Service was uniformly attentive and friendly and the place is cute and clean. We arrived at about 5.40 and were seated about half an hour later at the bar. Coming back!!

Delicious shellfish meals has always been on my mind before I personally give up on them. I preferred indoor dining since I got to see how hungry customers like their food so much. After finding out about the specials, it's too bad there's never any single fish dishes let alone mostly shellfish meals. Therefore, a shellfish salad was a suitable choice. A pair of prawns, Bay shrimps, crab meat remains, olives, slices of tomatoes, slices of radish, and the romaine lettuce as a base. The blue cheese dressing I've chosen didn't overwhelm the shrimp and crab flavors as I continue to enjoy every single bite. I'll be more than glad to have cioppino and some oyster shooters, but having the shellfish salad is the last shellfish meal I would ever have. I still give two thumbs up to Anchor Oyster Bar for their local sustainable seafood selection.
