I love this place!! My son and his mother introduced me a while back and I always stop here when I go to the mall which is not often. Bourbon chicken and glazed chicken along with some white rice YUM!! Brought my cousin and she was surprised herself. Food is so flavory
Tasteful selection of on the go food in mall food court . I come here sometimes with my children to eat and dine in when we are walking around.
I came here dragging my feet. Since my past visits/eats here were pretty disastrously salty, I really didn't want to waste my time here. My guy insisted and here I am... completely blown away!! I purchased a bourbon chicken combo w/ steamed veggies and cajun potatoes on a bed of white rice. First and foremost, THAT BOURBON CHICKEN SAUCE IS FIIIIIIIIRE!! I'm not sure why my last visit compared to this one was polar opposites but I won't complain. You could drizzle that on just about anything and make it delicious!!!! The chunks of chicken were thoroughly cooked, some being charred & burnt but that was minimal. The potatoes had a little bit of spice, the perfect amount of thickness, and was cooked throughout. Nothing was horrendously salty. 4 stars. I'm pretty skeptical due to all of the inconsistencies but if Cajun Grill can come through like this each time, Oakridge's location has converted me over from Great Mall.
Yum We were doing some quick shopping and we got hungry so why not try out "Kelly's" Cajun Grill as a Kelly, haha! The employee who was working, an older gentlemen gave us samples and that helped us decide what we wanted. He was super sweet and the portions were great! For $10 after tax, this is not bad! Definitely a place to go to. Try stuff before you get it!
Love Kelly's Cajun! Everything is high quality and made very well. All the items are fresh and tasty. Bourbon chicken and blackened fish are my favorite's - both super flavorful, juicy, and just the right amount of spice. It always boggles my mind to see so few people in line here. It's truly delicious and fresh. Next time, give Kelly's Cajun a try. You won't be disappointed. 10/10 recommend!
My 10 year old son went to the Milpitas location he was very unhappy with what he ordered the employee gave him two orders he didn't want vegetables and orange chicken plus the fried rice had to much salt in it he couldn't eat it I normally go to the one at Oakridge mall in san jose but the l Iocation one doesn't know how to cook or keep their food long enough in the fryer never going there again and I'm going to tell my friends and family to avoid that place waste of my money
I have somewhat of a conflicting view on this spot, but I honestly feel like overall I had a pleasant experience, and the food was good. after trying some leftovers from this place from my father, my husband and I decided to come here as a date lunch sort of experience. It's located in the food court of the Oakridge shopping mall so it was really Close and easy to find. We went inside and located it fairly quickly, there was just the one employee working there but she was very nice and offered to give us samples to try some of the food out first. We tried the black pepper chicken and the mango habanero chicken, and we liked both, so we decided to each get a plate here. It's essentially the same process as panda express, you pick a side and then you pick your two entrées. My husband opted for the rice with the mango habanero chicken as well as the bourbon chicken. I opted for the noodles with the black pepper chicken and the honey glazed chicken. They did also have a fish option and some shrimp but I was really in the mood for chicken, so that's what I stuck to. As far as getting what you pay for, I feel like you get more denser food for what you pay for if you're comparing to panda. I believe the price was roughly the same though, so in terms of if you're trying to save money, I think it's up to personal preference on what you like. In regards to the taste of everything, I honestly believe that the chickens had the best flavor, and the black pepper chicken I have to say, probably could have done with more of a kick. I think I'm used to spicier black pepper chicken, or just more pepper in it I'm not sure. They did have little slices of jalapeño in it, so that was nice, but it wasn't as much of a kick as I thought I was going to get upon ordering it. The honey glaze chicken was absolutely delicious, it reminded me somewhat of the orange chicken from panda express, but much sweeter, and without a ton of breading around it. The only issue with my food that I had was the noodles and I say that hesitantly because I really did enjoy them. However, I don't believe that they had much flavor to them. When I tried them, I thought maybe the bite I had was just not dipped or mixed in whatever sauce was on them, but I looked throughout the portion I was served, and it looked almost like the sauce they use is a butter or oil based sauce, I'm not too sure. Either way I think if the black pepper chicken on my plate had more of a kick, it would've been more enjoyable to eat the noodles because they would've been a nice contrast to the spiciness that would have built in my mouth. My husband liked all of his food, he especially like the bourbon chicken and had no complaints whatsoever. We each got a drink, I got a lemonade and he got a tea and I think total for the two meals and two drinks we paid $33 or something around there. Overall, I really did enjoy the food, some improvements could have been made for sure, but the employee was nice, we enjoyed our time out, and I would still come back here again!
Not sure why it only got three stars. This is definitely a four-star fast food place. Sure, this is not a sit down restaurant where you can expect amazing service and fabulous food. But if you want good, salad, tasty food at reasonable prices in the mall, this is a great place to go. I don't normally review chain restaurant, but there are so few of these I don't know if it qualifies as a chain. In my life, I've only found two and they were on opposite coasts.Could be that I just don't eat at malls that much, but I love this place. If you want tasty Cajun like food, this is the place to go. FOOD: I have had authentic Cajun food, and this is more like Cajun adjacent. It's like panda express meets the south. But I really love the flavors! Bourbon chicken is good, pepper chicken is great, blackened fish is tasty, blackened chicken is also good. They serve their food with your choice of noodles or fried rice (or half-and-half) which of course is not exactly Cajun, but it sure taste good. Overall, just glad to have Kelley's Cajun grill back of my life! Also, try the honey chicken. SERVICE: solid. Not the most super friendly people in the world, but they do their job really well and pack your to go box with a ton of food. Really, how can you ask for anything more from a fast food place? They are nice and serve you quickly. COST: The cost is incredibly reasonable considering the amount of food you get. Always go for the combo platter and maximize your food takeaway. You will definitely have enough for two meals.
I go to visit my friend at work at least twice a week. And we always get the Bourbon Chicken. It is AMAZING!! Her daughter absolutely loves the Honey Glazed Chicken! And it's really the only place we go to eat here at the food court in Oakridge Mall. I get the bowl and it's only $6.99 and you get tons of food. If I am hungry or sharing, I'll get the plate which is only $8.99. I also really like the mango habanero or pepper chicken. Definitely the best spot here!
I come here for one item and one item only: the bourbon chicken. It's delicious. The other items are ok, but it's just average mall court Chinese fast food. The "chow mein" here is made with spaghetti though, so I always get rice instead. (It's better to pick up the sauce from bourbon chicken anyway.)
Today is 08/21 with 90 degree temperatures. I occasionally walk my dog thru Oakridge Westfield shopping center. Today we stopped by Kelly's Cajun Grill and asked for some water. The blonde Mexican lady refused me service unprovoked. I asked again (tactfully) for a plastic 8 oz cup I saw at the register and a little bit of tap water for my dog. Again the rude blonde Mexican lady with heavy makeup refused. I acknowledged her resistance and was able to get water for my dog at their neighbors food booth. Completely unprovoked and rude behavior by the staff here. Judging by other people's experience, go eat somewhere else. Word of advice from a +40 year San Jose native. If you want your business to succeed, make sure you take care of all prospective customers. Side Note: There's a reason why they're the only food booth w/o a line on a busy Sunday afternoon (12:30pm)
230pm. Food court in Oakridge. Staff was friendly. Offered samples of meats. Tried spicy chicken with steamed vegetables and chow mien. It was eatable. Won't be back.
Not everything is on the menu. They would ask you for a second item, which costs more of course. The price of 2 item is just not there. Yhey seriously need to redesign that menu. Bourbon chicken is a bit sweet, but kids should love it. It's just a little bit different than teriyaki
This is in the food court of Oakridge mall in south San Jose. They give samples of their Bourbon chicken and it def draws people in! I got the bourbon chicken and honey coated one (similar to orange chicken) and the fish. I also tried the spicy mango chicken that was good. It's similar to Panda Express that you can get rice or chow mein and 2 or 3 items. I thought it was a little salty but not too greasy like some places. read more

I've passed this place at least a dozen times since it opened a few years back. It says Cajun, but looks Chinese and I think that's a good summary. As I said eating my food, I just sort of people watch to notice people from all walks of life coming to eat here. I saw mall workers, I saw people try the free sample, I saw what it looked like people coming from outside in just for this place. The price for what you get is excellent. I had Habanero chicken, fried rice and potatoes with a large coke. The chicken was expectedly spicy, the fried rice unexpectedly had better flavor than panda and overall I felt quite satisfied with the portions. After my meal I just sat and people watched, always fun to do. Will definitely come back. read more
It's so rare to find a meal for less than $15. You can pick from a selection of rice/noodles and different meat options. I chose the spicy chicken with fried rice. It was delicious and pretty filling. A good option for a quick, no frill meal. Friendly staff as well. read more

I was asked if I wanted a sample as I walked by and the orange chicken was so good, I was curious to try the rest. I enjoyed their noodles, rice, Cajun shrimp and ofc the orange chicken. I went back to buy more for later. Definitely a hidden gem!!! Customer service is very good, not too sure what's up with the other reviews! This place deserves a 5 star all day long! (Decided to leave a review mid-meal, so my food is half eaten in the pic, but y'all can tell it still looks bomb!) read more

Says it's open at a 10 am ...... all the lights are on but no food or server???!!! I seen the guy checking on the steam water but he quickly ran to the back when I was going to ask how long the food was going to take to cook? I certainly don't want to stand her until 11:00 , so it would of been nice if they were open on time or at least have a phone number or sever to ask a question! read more

I was compelled to try Kelly's Cajun Grill after being given a few samples by the employees. I tried their 2 most popular entrees, the Honey Glazed Chicken and the Bourbon Chicken and let me tell you, they were sooo good! The honey chicken is sweet, and savory and I love the batter they use. The bourbon chicken (which I wasn't sure about before tasting) is savory and and the bourbon sauce is so good that I find myself trying to scoop up what's left after I finish the chicken. For my sides I get half fried rice and half Cajun potatoes. The fried rice is simple but tastes buttery and flavorful. Also has a nice egg taste to it though egg is not included. The Cajun potatoes have a wonderful seasoning on them that adds light spice. They also give out generous portions. Sometimes I will split a plate with my husband. The employees are always helpful and are more than willing to oblige if we have any questions or would like to sample one of the entrees. So happy I gave this place a try! read more
