    Cajun butter garlic snow crab
    Jenna S.

    This place was better than I expected! The portions are very generous compared to Kickin Kajun, and while the sauces are different it was still super tasty and garlicky. I tried the Cajun garlic butter and the lemon garlic sauce. I like how the lemon sauce has a fresh zing to it, the Cajun was a tad salty. The cheese curds were super cheesy and gooey! The baskets here are a good portion if you have kids who don't eat seafood. The service was also good. The ambiance is nothing special but clean enough to get down and dirty with some crab lol.

    Ordered take out on a weekday night. Place wasn't busy. Lots of seating. Food came out quickly. Good flavoring.

    9pc fresh oysters

    I would like to say that this is my second time here and my experience was great. We came in right before the dinner rush on a Sunday night and it was perfect. It was slow and service was on point. I didn't get rushed at all. We started with some drinks and some appetizers. Ordered a basket of popcorn chicken and 18pc of fresh oysters. I'm a sucker for oysters and they were delicious. Squeezed the lemon slices on the Tabasco and poured it all over the oysters. Perfect! Also ordered the butter garlic snow crab combo with a side order of the kajun garlic butter sauce. It was definitely fulfilling. I'm not a fan of prawns and prefer more of the shrimp or muscles instead but can't sub anything unfortunately but it's ok. Over all a great dinner without any complaints. I would come here again for the seafood boil.

    I've ordered takeout from here but never actually dined in until recently. Located in the Waimalu shopping center, lots of parking but hard to find if you come at peak dinner time. We arrived around 445ish and the restaurant was half empty so we got sat right away. We ordered our food and it came out pretty quick. The food was delicious per usual but it was definitely more enjoyable at the restaurant than eating it at home! Service was great, it didn't look like very many of them but they were on it with checking on all the tables. I noticed that the restaurant filled up super quick. I am always craving seafood boil and I think I've found a good spot. I usually get the shrimp and so far, it hasn't been overcooked! Love the consistency. What really shocked me was how good their fries were and the portion was huge. Will be ordering from here again soon!

    Wow!!! Our guests arrived before us on purpose to give their card to pay for dinner. Doc and I had also slipped our cards to the waiter not knowing what transpired before we got there. Each of us had our own bag of customized items we selected from the menu. You also get to choose your spice level and sauce. You are provided with a plastic apron and a pair of disposable gloves to protect your clothes and hands. I was the only one who didn't use the gloves but I'm glad they gave extra napkins and wet wipes. The food came out piping hot. As soon as we ordered, paper plates and 3 implements were brought to the table to help remove the crab meat from the shells. Use your Yelp check in to get a free soda too. It was quite a surprise when the bill came and 3 credit cards were returned and Doc's friends had treated us to dinner.

    Snow crab combo #4 with Cajun garlic butter.

    After ordering our food, a stack of paper plates, napkins, wipes, bibs, crab crackers, gloves and utensils arrived on our table. Our food arrived soon after, it comes to the table in a plastic bag mixed with the sauce you select. The food was tasty, I had combo #4 with Cajun and garlic butter flavor. Was it messy, yes, every time you stick your hand in the bag it gets all over your hands (I honestly would have preferred my food dumped on a metal tray so I could see everything and it would be way easier to get to) just my opinion.

    Friday night and here for a birthday. We have been to this location before for special occasions like Friendsgiving and even for my first my college graduation party! The food here speaks for itself and the flavoring of it is exceptionally memorable. It's a bit stronger for some but I love the Cajun or garlic butter options for most of the seafood. Their black bean sauce is also really good especially when ordering clams. I love that this location is central to everything and in Waimalu shopping center which is nice for family and loved ones to be able to get together. The service is decent and I love that it's one of the fewer places now that still serve Dungeness Crab which is what our birthday girl wanted on a Friday night. We had reservations so there was luckily no wait although it got busy shortly after. With a simplistic ambiance the seafood really is the ultimate highlight. They were out of King crab when we went but usually have that available. Overall a great experience but lost a star due to first the reservation procedure which only allowed a party of 6 or more to make one everyone else is first come first serve. Will return for another seafood craving

    Love this place for the string beans...... the seafood or anything in general always come hot and fresh. Very happy with the service. Came here on a Monday for dinner. It was open and was able to get seated quickly. Would visit and come again!

    Can just order snow crab in butter garlic?

    yes

    Did your number change listed isn't working?

    Hi I was just wondering if anyone knows if Cajun King Kaneohe is open as well?

    Hello Agueda, Sorry we don't know if Cajun King Kaneohe is open. We are own by two different owners. You can give them a call.

    Is there still an issue with rotten/spoiled seafood?

    Have not experienced any issues with spoiled/ rotten food

    I've been trying to call to make a reservation. But no one answers and it's seems to be out of service. Is there a different number that I can call to make a reservation?

    Sorry Elvie. There is a mass outages around the island. Our phone line run by the internet. I can help you here. How many people for your reservation, what date, and time?

    Are the portions for the combos big?

    Hello Kailee. A combo is about 3.5-4.5 pounds of seafood, depends on which combo you get. A combo usually feed 2-3 people

    Do I need to make a reservation?

    no, very casual dining, just walk in

    How can you charge a party of 7 people the 18% gratuity when the 7th person is a newborn baby (1 1/2 month old)? What service did you provide to my newborn that you deserve the right to charge her gratuity? That's just BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

    That is horribly wrong of this place! Gratuity is given because we are grateful for good service. If they are adding it in as a mandatory charge, it is no longer gratuity and you may be selling yourself short. I was going to take my family here but… Read more

    They like charge 18% for 5 adults and 2 small kids 2 yrs & 4yrs old cause the manager said no matter what it's 7 people.. THEY SUCK SHITTY SERVICE?

    That's pretty standard at many restaurants to include gratuity for parties of 6 or more. I've never been to a restaurant that doesn't include children (unless they're infants under 1) as part of the headcount. Sorry you had a bad experience.

We got the crab leg combo medium spice in the everything sauce (I got a side in the extra hot) and loved the flavor! Only reason I'm giving it a 4/5 star is because of the service. The anticipating for things was just lacking. It wasn't busy and everyone just kinda hung out behind the bar. No spoons for the rice so we had to wait and find someone to get us spoons. Crab legs were dropped off and again had to wait forever to find someone for the crab leg cracker and pick. Just kind of killed the experience having to ask for everything and waiting. There's a sign to use your hands but it's kinda hard to crack the hard shells with just your hands and with the sauce on the rice you do kinda need a spoon.

I want to say about 95% of the shrimps I ate were soft. Flash forward to the middle of the night and this morning, my stomach has been so sore. It's hard to get out of the bathroom. I look up if "soft shrimp" are safe to eat, and google tells me soft shrimp are usually spoiled, and definitely not safe to eat. I'll probably not eat at this location ever again, and would recommend if anyone wants to try it out, to dine in and complain if they have soft shrimp, or avoid the shrimp fully.

The rice was a great addition to soak up all that flavorful sauce. It was $28+tax not bad for the amount of food.

If you're looking for some high quality seafood, this place will hit the spot. The restaurant is located on the top floor of the International Market Place, just above the luau area. They were having a luau when we arrived for dinner as the sun was going down, which made for a pretty nice atmosphere. We started with the chilled seafood sampler which came with some super meaty oysters, shrimp cocktail and ahi poke. I usually prefer oysters on the smaller side, but these tasted so fresh and clean that I'd order them again in a heartbeat. After a few suggestions from our server, we decided to go with the signature combo and added some snow crab and lobster. It came out in 3 separate bags so we went with each of the 3 signature sauces to give them all a try. My favorite sauce was probably the red, which came packed with cajun flavor and a hint of spice, but the black and white sauces were delicious in their own right. The flavors of each sauce were more nuanced and complex than the ones I've had at other seafood boil places, which is something I appreciated. All of the seafood in our combo was cooked perfectly and tasted great, but the snow crab and lobster were the real stars. Each giant piece of crab leg was filled with sweet, buttery meat and when paired with the chunks of spam covered in the sauce, was just perfect. If you want to indulge yourself a little bit, get yourself some snow crab and some giant lobster claws and you will not regret it. The meal ended with a unique and fun dessert that they made for the kids, which capped a very satisfying experience. I was a little skeptical about this place after reading some of the reviews, but this was one of the best dinners we had on our trip. I think some of the reviewers might have come here expecting a bargain or some cheap eats, but to be honest, real quality seafood comes at a price. I can tell these guys take care in sourcing quality, which is why I'm looking forward to coming back.

It was crispy and came with a great sauce. We enjoyed our lunch & think you will, too. There's inside seating and outside seating, too. Give it a try!

    I've been frequently this place for over twenty years, and always loved the food and charm of the…read moreplace. It's the Southern atmosphere that makes the place unique on Oahu, there's no other place similar. A big part of that atmosphere is the music selection. In the past they've usually played Southern Rock and Country, or at least had it in the mix. The past year or so though, every time I go in, it's hip hop or pop on the sound system. I can go to dozens of other establishments on Oahu and hear that plus get decent food. A big part of why I go to DG, is not to hear that! Bartenders join is fine if there's nobody in the place, please bring back the Country music when there's customers, or at least get an electric juke box, so we can mix it up a little.

    We had Bobby cater our wedding in November and the food was such a hit! We would recommend them…read moreover and over again! Our experience with Bobby started with private a tasting in their lounge of a few of the things we were hoping to have on our menu. We tried two mains, a salad and a few sides... when I say everything was a smash it, i really mean it! Our package included a third main and we honestly told him he could pick what to bring because obviously he knows how to cook- it'd be impossible to choose! For our wedding we had the kalbi shortribs, garlic shrimp, and huli huli chicken for our mains. Our salad was the one with the warm bacon dressing (OMG DELICIOUS), and we also had truffle mashed potatoes, a ratatouille, rice and i think 3 appetizers. It was ALL so good. Our guests have been raving about it since. Not only was the food to die for, but also the service before and during the wedding too! we had a few dietary restrictions to accommodate and Bobby was so easy to work with and already had ideas ready to go. Then there's the wait staff - who brought my husband and I full plates of everything first, before anyone else. So many people say they don't get to eat at their own weddings and they made sure that DIDNT happen to us. I was still so anxious that I didn't clear my plate but everything i DID eat was just as good as the tasting. The staff stayed and helped my coordinator for the rest of the night as well. After dinner they boxed up all the leftover food for us to take home and I was so happy for that! Since I didn't eat a ton at my own wedding I got to house all of the leftovers with our families. The taste, the value, the service... it really can't be beat. We've already decided we'll be tracking down his foodtruck whenever we can!

    BRUH....!!!! This guy can COOK!! I make fried noodles but his fried noodles is my favorite one in…read morethe whole wide world. Of course his other foods are great but I don't cook the dishes he makes which is why I'm pointing out the fried noodles. I love that this man is personable and you can really tell the love and passion that goes into his dishes. Rob is such a respectable man and very friendly. You need to inquire on his catering services because apparently he doesn't disappoint. Follow him on Instagram so you can keep up where he's at. Go get 'um!

I got the poke bowl, hubby got fish n chips. Food came out quick. The salad dressing was fresh and zippy, even quite umami. Quite delish - wait, not really... it's fricken awesome! The fish n chips came with one large filet of fish and chips. Not sure what kind of fish but it's dense and meaty. I took a bite and 'oh wow" escaped my full mouth. Great place, great food, definitely a place to come back to.

    Although the menu is a bit limited and ranging from almost 25 bucks for fish and d chips to almost…read more40 for a little steak, this place has always been a treat to stop in just for the usually excellent service and the fresh quality of all presentation. So, when a hair was found in my daughters cheesecake it was a bit shocking! The waiter recognized the grotesque error in production and immediately ask is she wolike another slice. She agreed and was presented with the hair free 8.50 version. It is common practice to not only provide the option of replacing the product for the customer but to remove the charge for the hair laced food from the bill. This action not only expresses the restaurants remorse but signifies their desire to keep you as a returning customer. Unfortunately this did not occur nor was any Kama' Aina discount applied (resident discount). Curious to know if the assumption that we, African Americans, are not aware of the rights a d wrongs in the service industry. Nonetheless, as a travel provider for tourists here in Hawaii, I will not longer recommend or refer tourists to Nico's pier 38 from this day forward. So sad. I expected more from this Honolulu establishment.
