    This our is our 1st time dining here.Also we're excited because it's also our 1st time to have a crab boil other then having it at home.So our friends that live in the area suggested this place.When we arrived it wasn't very bz.The room was only half full.The establishment looked old,plain and out of date decor but I figured that they concentrated on good food then a fancy restaurant.So after ordering our drinks we placed our orders.So our friends had the various crab boil combo's.Everything was tasty,perfectly seasoned and they gave a good amount of food.We were very happy.Staff were very friendly as well..When back on Oahu we will definitely be coming back.

    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.

    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

    Came here a few weeks ago with a friend for a belated birthday celebration and it did not disappoint. I ordered some clams with medium heat and it was pretty spicy! Fries were delicious and had some good heat to them as well. My favorite thing was surprisingly the green beans! My friend ordered it as a side and it was absolutely delicious. I would definitely order again. We went on a Wednesday for lunch so it was fairly empty. Server was very quick and checked on us to see how we were doing a few times. I liked coming in when it wasn't busy but I hear it gets pretty crowded at dinner.

    Do they offer discount for Military and veterans?

    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… 

    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 ordered all the dips (salsa, guacamole, crab), og tostada, mixed taco, tostada de Camaron, and a horchata. Everything was super flavorful. Their salsa and guacamole taste like they add something savory to it, almost like a shoyu or something. It's interesting. Their horchata is super sweet with lots of cinnamon. But it does offset the saltiness from the food. The tostadas and tacos were good. At first we thought 1 taco or 1 tostada were not enough per person. But because of the salt, they were quite filling. I saw someone order a whole fish and make their own tacos. Next time we'll try that. However maybe we'll take home because eating along the main, super busy road is very dusty.

Reasonably priced and extremely popular. The chicken was fried in bite sizes with a crispy coating and hints of Chinese 5 spice. It was served on a bit of cabbage with fried basil. If you order the sauce that goes with it, you'll get a slightly sweet accent to the chicken. Grandpa Rolling Beef is a creative braised beef rolled in a scallion pancake with extra veggies. Great flavors with a crunchy texture. The joong or zong zhi was mochi rice with pork and preserved egg. If you were looking for home style sticky rice, you got it here with a bit of a light sauce. The preserved egg brings back memories of Popo's kitchen/ your childhood. We tried Taiwan tofu pudding for dessert. You should order it even if you order nothing else. Perfect for two. Silky tofu in a slightly sweet sauce with shaved ice, boba and peanuts combine for a perfect dessert. Not heavy and just sweet enough to tempt a non-dessert person. A return to this restaurant is always warranted! Give it a try!

Even so, I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu. If you're looking for quality Taiwanese food on Oahu, Fooki is worth a visit. Forgot to capture few pics

Honestly most places just get more expensive and worse and worse so I wasn't expecting much. When I got there, I found the service to be good and the prices pretty reasonable. The lunch/dinner special is a nice value and that's what I got. For $25, you get to choose from a selection of different items. I think their beer is also really reasonable - I think it was $8 for a 20oz Asahi which tasted GREAT!!!!! Now on to the food. I took a few bites and it took me back to when they were at Ward ave..... it tasted exactly the same! Not many places can do that. I won't say the portions were really big but it was a reasonable serving size. Everything tasted as it should and everyone had a good time. I am definitely coming back - the old school taste is great and the prices reasonable.

Needs a bit more garlic and basic seasoning. 3 stars Clams casino tasted great but those onions had a dead dry layer that should have been peeled off.

Please peel onions of all dried pieces!!! 3 stars for that Service was wonderful. They really work together as s team snd cover all aspects.

And we may have found our new favorite go to for pasta. Parking is easy as there's tons of spots as its located under Anna Millers and right next to Pearlridge. Upon being seated by the hostess we were greeted by our waitress who placed a basket of their famous garlic knots on the table. These are by far and away the best garlic knots on island. (I grew up on the East coast, so I know my way around a good garlic knot). Best part is they're complimentary and bottomless...as long as you're dining in. Opposite window side of the building is a long stretch of wall where you can watch the chefs cook your food. It reminds me of an old school 80s buffet line in terms of looks. Complete with fake garlic strands and ropes of peppers. Oh, and the neon signs are a definite nostalgia trip. We opted to try the fried Mozzarella for a starter. Sauce was a little on the sweeter side, but it was delicious. My daughter got rigatoni with marinara sauce and my son got the spaghetti with meat sauce. Both of them loved their food, tho my son's meat sauce had small chunks of mushroom which I had to lie and tell him was just meat so he wouldn't spend the entire time picking out every mushroom. My wife got the vegetarian lasagna and I opted for the Fettucine pasta with chicken and mushrooms in a garlic cream sauce. Both were incredible.

Food came out pretty fast. Local vibe with lots of activity in the dinning room. Feels alive and very down to earth.
