Soul food has finally made its way to the Topanga Mall in the San Fernando Valley! Creole Kings, located right in the food court, is bringing real Southern flavor to the area, and it does not disappoint. I ordered the fried okra and fries, and for dessert, I had the beignets. Everything tasted fresh, cooked to order, flavorful, and authentic. The fried okra was perfectly crispy, the fries were hot and golden. Beignets were soft, sweet, and covered in just the right amount of powdered sugar. However, they seemed just a bit undercooked. If this can be tweaked, they will have orders by the dozens. The customer service was great, friendly and very helpful with the menu. I absolutely LOVE the logo and the colors the location chose to have which brings you straight to New Orleans with the decor from the famous streets , even down to the music . Check them out for sure.

lobster mac and cheese
Reggie R.

I haven't really tried many new orleans food in my life that's why when I saw this one located inside westfield topanga, I said to myself I have to have it. It is actually my second time eating here, just forgot to review the first time. During that time, we ordered the combo fish and chicken with fries and the side of shrimp and they were very good. This time they have the mac and cheese lobster, this one was the best! i love it! Taste was different from what i had before, it was unique!! And again i had to order the shrimp again, that one was bomb! A bit on the salty side but i guess that's how a creole in new orleans taste like.. I got to sample their benets too, that one was really good. Pricewise it was a little pricey, but hey you got a unique blend and taste of new orleans, and also rent must be really expensive and i understand that. Their chef or i guess he is the owner? was very very nice and very welcoming to patrons. The store looks clean and very organized. I would come back here anytime. 4.5 stars in my opinion!

Jeremiah, owner of Creole King!
Joanne A.

Shopping at the mall and I came across Creole Kings in the upstairs food court! The food court is always sparkling clean and filled with energy! The owner, Jeremiah, was there...very helpful (charming) and knowledgable! I asked about vegetarian options and he hooked me up! I ordered the entree of fried cauliflower and of course had to try the okra too! Entrees come with drinks! OMG it was love love at first bite! Perfect fried batter coating, orders made fresh and hot and an amazing dipping sauce! I brought it back to work to share some and co-workers tried it and fell in love too! Thanks Creole King! I'm coming back for more!

Shrimp po boy
Paula T.

I'm so happy that I was around the area and got to try this place. I've been to New Orleans a few times and haven't found a good po boy this good, except at Willie Mae's in Venice. The food took me back to NOLA, down to the French roll, the plump and quality of the shrimp, the distinct remoulade, and the cornmeal batter. This po boy was probably better than a few places in New Orleans. The owner, Jeremiah, is from Lafayette, and you can taste the soul and love in his food. This is a must try when you're at the mall.

Catfish & shrimp basket, loaded bourbon fries & beignets!
Jackie C.

I couldn't believe I found Soul Food with beignets at the mall food court & had to try. The owner was so nice & helpful in helping us get what we would like. We knew it was gonna be good bc it took a while for it to come out. We got catfish & shrimp basket, loaded bourbon fries & fresh beignets~ I started with the cinnamon & sugar beignet & it almost knocked me out with its perfect texture & perfect amount of sweetness. I loved the catfish & my son loved the bourbon chicken & fries. But the only thing was that it was way too much food for the two of us. The two dishes & beignets(6) was more than enough to feed 4 adults imo. We took the rest home & ate the rest. So good even as leftover. We will definitely be back bc I cannot forget about the catfish & beignets.

Hair in food
Bella B.

Hate to do this but hair in food is unexceptionable and my biggest pet peeve. I've been wanting to try this place for a while and my husband surprised me yesterday with a takeout since I wasn't feeling well. He got me fried fish, shrimp, mac & cheese. Upon opening the mac & cheese, it was a piece of hair in it. At that point I honestly didn't eat any of the food. I threw everything away. I can't stress enough how imperative personal hygiene and protective measures are when it comes to handling food. Gloves, hair nets, shaving, washing hands, etc. and I know sometimes accidents happen & things slip thru the cracks but you have to be more diligent.

Chicken wings
Dan L.

It was alright. I got bourbon chicken wings - the order was ready in 15 mins and cost me $15. Chicken wings were HUGE , the breading was nice, the sauce was bbq like with notes or Bourbon. Chicken wings were above average but not the best. Tbh not my cup of tea. I am assuming the rest of the food haas similar quality. Service was good and the place is located at the food court so you have a lot of other eateries nearby and a bunch of seats. One and done

Bourbon wings!!!
David B.

OMG, I love everything about this place. It's a beautiful vibe. From the staff to the food to the attention to detail of the service. Incredible and I cannot wait to get back there. I'm so glad I was in the area and remembered I wanted to try it. It just so happens it was the perfect birthday lunch #BaptisteClan

Shrimp po boy
Sophia L.

Creole flavors were what the valley needed. They have a spot at the Thousand Oaks mall, and I'm so glad they opened up a spot here. The service is amazing and friendly. They're always attentive and make ordering so easy. Would be coming back for seafood that has that FLAVOR !!! The fried catfish and shrimp po boy are so flavorful and portion sizes are huge.

I ALREADY ATE A LOT MAN THIS IS WONDERFUL PORTIONS TEA, steppin on my NECK wit this catfish ok
Lola S.

Ordered catfish and it comes with French fries was able to substitute it with mac n cheese instead. They have peach cobbler beginets. Food was cooked to order fast. Everything was delicious CATFISH WASNT PLAYING OK. IT WAS SO CRISPY. So excited this place moved in this spot. It's in the food court right next to chipotle. The people who work here are nice too and there is plenty of seating. I can't wait to come back and try the bourbon wings. EVERYTHING WAS TEA ILL BE BACK. IF YALL AINT EATING THIS YOU MISSING OUT

Chicken and Waffles
Flor M.

Food was good and worth the wait. I would definitely not consider this fast food as its was made to order and fresh!

Blue crab Mac n cheese
Sylk N.

Creole Kings is the best! Huge portions and huge flavor! The employees here are the best! The blue crab Mac n cheese was so epic! And the bourbon chicken fries were a hit! Bring a friend to try this amazing food! Located in the mall food court. Can't wait to come back and try their famous catfish! Creole Kings ftw!

Catfish and fries basket :$17.99
Greg L.

Cajun /New Orleans cuisine is hard to find in the SFV other than Les Sisters but this new spot in the Topanga Mall food court is great! Had the Catfish basket with fries.. traditional cornmeal coating on the fish was great ( a bit salty)... only complaint was they did not have gumbo on the menu ( maybe someday)... highly recommend!

Drinks and desserts are also good, but it's the people and service that really puts this spot over the top. They treat you like family. Les Sisters is an LA Gem, please support our local businesses in this tough climate, especially when they are putting out food as top notch as this. Don't think twice, get them up in person or on door dash and order extra, you'll be glad you did.

I was honestly pretty disappointed after reading all the great reviews…read more I ordered the chicken and waffles, thinking it would be one of their signature dishes, but it was a letdown. The waffle tasted very artificial, and the butter and syrup seemed like the cheapest possible quality. Using real butter and real maple syrup would make a huge difference without adding much to the cost. The chicken had a nice crispy texture, but it was surprisingly bland. It really needed more seasoning and a little more salt to bring out the flavor. To top it off, the wait was much longer than expected, especially considering there were only a handful of customers in the restaurant. The place definitely has potential, but based on my experience, the reviews didn't match the food I was served.

Patty made us feel like family and took care of us so well. Robby hosts karaoke and sings like an angel. He kept us entertained for hours. Will definitely dine here again for the food but you cant beat rhe experience with the staff.

First Visit -- Disappointing Experience…read more We came in last night to celebrate my daughter's birthday, and unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. The restaurant was not busy when we arrived--there was only one other party of two. Our party of 10 was the largest group there, yet the service was still very slow and disorganized. I ordered six seafood platters, and I was honestly surprised by the portion sizes. When I hear "seafood platter," I expect something substantial, especially based on my experience at other seafood restaurants. Here, each platter was served on a large oval plate but contained just about enough food for one person. Each platter was supposed to come with rice or fries, but our side dishes did not arrive until we were more than halfway through our meal. I also had to remind the waiters twice about a refill of water for our pitcher after I had already requested it. The temperature inside was another major issue. The restaurant felt extremely hot and uncomfortable. There were only two industrial fans blowing air toward the middle of the room rather than toward the patrons, leaving our entire party sweating in the corner. The bathroom was even worse--it felt like a sauna with little to no air circulation. The service continued to be poorly timed throughout the meal. We were already about two-thirds finished eating before the buckets that are typically provided at the beginning of a seafood meal were brought to the table. These buckets are intended for trash and shells, so by the time they arrived, we had already been managing our shells and waste without them. Then came the bill. A 2.5% surcharge was added to our check. This was not listed anywhere that I saw on the restaurant's website, and it was never mentioned by the waitstaff. I only noticed it when reviewing the receipt. The digital receipt states: "to maintain our food quality and to improve services a 2.5% surcharge will be added to every check." I found that explanation particularly frustrating. Why should customers be charged an additional percentage specifically to fund improvements to the restaurant's food quality and service? Those are things I would expect to be included in the prices already being charged. There was also a discrepancy with the large-party gratuity. The restaurant's website states that an 18% gratuity is added for parties of six or more, yet I was charged 20%. I took a timestamped screenshot of the website showing the 18% policy and have attached it along with a copy of my receipt so customers can see the discrepancy for themselves. Finally, they were unable to print a receipt. The waiter had to figure out how to send the receipt to me by text. This was our first visit, and unfortunately, it will be our last. We came in hoping to celebrate my daughter's birthday and enjoy a nice meal together. Instead, we experienced inadequate portions, delayed side dishes, repeated requests for basic service, an uncomfortably hot dining room, poorly timed table service, an undisclosed surcharge, and a gratuity discrepancy between the website and our actual bill. I always try to give businesses the benefit of the doubt, especially when visiting for the first time. But with a party of 10 and a bill reflecting both a 2.5% surcharge and 20% gratuity, I expected a much higher level of service and transparency. I would strongly recommend reviewing your bill carefully and comparing it with the restaurant's posted policies before paying.

The seafood boil comes out swinging. Big portions. Plenty of seasoning. That buttery Cajun sauce…read moreclings to everything the way it should. The shrimp were juicy. The crab cracked easy. The potatoes and corn soaked up every drop of flavor. If you've been to Boiling Crab, this is definitely playing in the same league. Service keeps things moving, even when the place is slammed. And it usually is. Every time I've been, there's a crowd waiting, which tells you everything you need to know. People aren't standing around for mediocre seafood. The restaurant is casual, lively, and exactly as messy as a good seafood boil should be. Grab the bib. Accept your fate. It's giving... Finding Nemo if the fish had one really bad day.

Was able to try this food truck that was parked on my street. Haven't had a seafood boil in a while…read moreso I was pretty excited. Got the special #2 with lobster tail, 1/2 pound of shrimp, sausage, corn and potato for around $34. I got a mix of mild and spicy Cajun for a good medium spice. The first thing I noticed was how much flavor was in the sauce. The sausage, corn and potatoes were all great. The shrimp was good, just takes a little work as normal with seafood boils. I would prefer an option without the head-on. The lobster tail was the only mild disappointment, due to the meat being a little tougher than I'm used to with lobster tail. Overall the food was pretty good and the service as well. I'd try it again to get the crab leg and shrimp special.

I came with my family on a weeknight and chose this spot because the menu had options for everyone…read more I had checked ahead of time and saw they offer more than just crab, including pasta, chicken dishes, and other types of fish. It's a small hole in the wall place. It's cute, but don't expect a fine dining restaurant experience. They're currently advertising Dungeness crab at $23 per pound, but you don't know how much your piece weighs. Mine ended up costing almost $70, and it was definitely not worth it. That didn't include any sides either, I had to pay extra to add corn and potatoes. I also ordered garlic bread on the side, and it was the worst garlic bread I've ever had. It was soft, soggy, and had absolutely no crunch to it. The kids' chicken tender meal only came with two very small pieces of chicken. I was expecting more for the price. There was only one staff member serving the entire restaurant, and you could tell she was getting overwhelmed. Overall, it wasn't a pleasant experience, and for spending almost $200, I did not leave satisfied.
