I've been craving this place and I know it's always busy around dinner time so I decided to order it to go. And it's always consistent in flavor and quality. The service here has always been great with very bubbly and easy to chat to workers. I definitely prefer this place over Boiling Crab. I think the kickin mix has so much more flavor and less salty. read more

Rudy is the best server with a smile. We threw him some curb balls yet he remained cool and apologetic. Food as always yummy!!! We hadn't been back for sometime and it's as good as we remembered! Ambiance is fair for quick eats but the ladies and I chatted for 3 hrs and they didn't kick us out! Kudos to management and awesome server RUDY! Way to go Kickin' Kasian!!! Btw, ample parking! read more

Finally got to try this place and wasn't disappointed. We got a half pound of shrimp with the works, a basket of fried oysters with lemon pepper fries, and a basket of cheese curds. Everything was fresh and delicious. The seafood boil was perfect and not overcooked and the fried oysters were so yummy. It was my first time trying them! The service is also really good, they're super attentive and friendly! It's not the biggest restaurant it' so it may have a wait during busy hours. We went during noon when it opened up and it was not that busy, lots of parking out front as well. read more

Terrific service when we got their attention. This place is super busy. Also could use some help in small repairs on seating. Atmosphere is casual but crowded. Market prices are steep for me but I had a gift card so it made it more affordable. I would come back more often if I had a bigger budget. Got the Kickin Mix and it was super delicious but even at mild it had some heat. The flavor is great! Crab is fresh and full of flavor. I also really enjoyed the fried catfish. They have lunch until 3p M-F and Happy Hour only on M-Th. Parking is a bit crowded in a Friday night. Got some potatoes and corn to add to boil. Good choices for us! read more

I've been coming here since they first opened, and honestly Kickin Kasian is still my #1 Cajun spot -- yes, even over Boiling Crab. The flavor just hits better. The shrimp are always on the bigger side and super consistent every visit. We usually order the Kickin Mix (mild) and it never disappoints. Their Cajun fries are bomb too -- lowkey mandatory order. Prices have definitely gone up over time, but people still line up for a reason. Wait times can easily be 100-120 minutes. Pro tip: if you live nearby (I think within about 5 miles?), you can check in through their website to save yourself a lot of standing around. Not 100% sure on the distance limit, but it's worth trying! read more

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE.. so much that I'm willing to drive 1.5 hours to get here. The seafood is fresh, the flavors are mouthwatering, and the spices are FIRE. You know, I love me some STFU type of heat (which is exactly what they got.. literally called STFU). You do have to pay for those top 4 higher heats, but if you can handle spice then it is definitely worth it. The only down side is that there is usually a long wait since this place is so good. However, once you're in everything comes out pretty quick. They have hand wash sinks available outside the restrooms as well so you don't have to wait for a restroom to open up. They have TVs for those that love to watch something and eat. read more

Loved loved loved kickin KAsian! Came here with a few friends on a Saturday night and really enjoyed my visit. The restaurant doesn't take reservations so we ultimately waited almost an hour for our table but it was worth the wait. Thankfully the restaurant has a texting system so we were able to wait some place else until our table was ready. We absolutely loved the options that we could choose for the seafood. We opted for the family feast option which we were not disappointed. We did the combination sauce and absolutely loved that it came with white rice since it was simply delicious. I will definitely be back to try more! read more

Ordered here for Easter and it wasn't bad at all. I just thought the mix was a little too salty for my liking but the way they cooked their seafood was spot on. Shrimp, muscles, crabs, potatoes, and corn was cooked to perfection. I would just love it a little less salty. Service was fast, we called and then we picked up the food in a span of 20 mins. Staff was super nice and friendly as well . I enjoyed dining in here as much as ordering it out. Chill vibes always and they have good drinks as well. read more

It's no wonder this place has been around since 2013! I have friends that attended CSUN and I totally understand why they raved about this place so much. Over the years I've been here with friends occasionally and family other times. Kickin KAsian has built a loyal customer following with its bold, Cajun-style seafood with an Asian twist. Apart from their traditional shrimp and green mussels, their baskets with fried items are pretty tasty too. Most seafood boil places have limitations on spice levels, but there's a variety of sauce variations - so there's definitely something for everybody! Be mindful of add-ons like okra, quail eggs, corn, etc. those tend to add to your bill quickly. Special shoutout to that cucumber wasabi sauce. Great flavor without the heat and tastes amazing with their battered french fries. Customer service is warm, friendly, and an overall delight! My friend and I came earlier today about half an hour after they opened. We were well-taken care of and the staff checked in on us regularly to make sure everything tasted great & that we had everything we needed. Totally understand why this place has stood the test of time and genuinely happy to see this laid back eatery is still thriving. read more

My last visit was not as satisfying as my last (6+ years). The wait was expected to be long, which was more than an hour for a weekend. When we finally dined, the server was not quite attentive and was hard to flag. We were mainly there to get the shrimp boil. The sauce was very good, it still had the flavor that I remember years ago. However, the shrimp came out mushy and it felt a bit gross because of the texture. We chose not to bring this up as the wait was already long and the service was slow. I unfortunately don't think I will be back as the only positive I experienced was the sauce. Parking is in the strip mall it is in, which usually there are spots but can get busy. read more

I recently got into seafood boils so I wanted to try something close to home and a lot of people I know enjoy this place. I just want to start off by saying the service here is amazing. Everyone is so friendly and helpful! This is the best seafood boil in Northridge! Although, it is a bit on the pricier side than other seafood boil restaurants, they really nailed their flavors. The shrimps are big and juicy. You can also has for as many lemons as you want. My favorite order is the topless shrimp, kasian seasoning, and medium spicy (perfect for a kick of heat but not dripping sweat), make it the works, and add a side of rice. I love their micheladas and thai iced teas here. They serve margaritas, soju, and other beverages as well. They get really busy in the afternoons, you might expect a wait time. They now charge for gloves if you would like them at 50 cents! There is plenty of parking. read more

This is one of the best places to get fresh seafood, I appreciate their shorter wait times, it feels like a cozy, local place. The food ordered above was for 2, and we were able to finish about half. It's delicious, you pick spice level, we picked spicy and it had a kick! The noodles very very garlicky as well which was a nice change of flavor. I highly recommend getting the corn as a side! read more

I don't even know where to start. My husband and I visited this restaurant today, Feb 26 around noon. We were welcomed by the staff immediately and sat down at a nice table. The waitress was so attentive and kind. I didn't catch her name but I wish I had. The food was outstanding. We love shrimp and have been going to Boiling Crab for years, but after trying Kickin, we are immediately loyal customers. Overall an incredible experience. Going to bring my daughter in next time as well. Will be back as soon as my husband is in the mood for shrimp again- as I ALWAYS am! read more

Love Kickin Kasian. The quality of their seafood is unmatched. The variety of their choice of flavors is also amazing. With an open concept, the ambiance can be a little loud, however it's always good vibes and people enjoying everyone's company. The drinks are a must-have as well. The place is always clean and kept. I always look forward to my next visit! read more

Long overdue for a review here. The food here is pretty good and definitely worth getting if you're having that craving. If you're familiar with authentic Cajun food it's not that (they usually boil the seafood in the seasonings and serve with sauces on the side for authentic) however I think that sea food boils in cali tend to go more this way (boiled then put into a bag of seasonings). The fried stuff is done well! And the sauces that pair with it are really nice. The drinks are also huge and really yummy! The only thing I'd say is a negative here is the wait is always super long and the area isn't what it once was. There was a naked homeless man sleeping in front of the restaurant when we went about a year ago. Doesn't reflect the restaurant itself but good to be on the alert about it you come with kids especially. Ambiance is okay! Not bad not anything that stands out either. read more

Good food and a clean restaurant with friendly servers. Easy to find and several TVs and drink options.

The service is always amazing. Even in the busy days. The vibe is great and the music is just right

For the price paid, the experience was not worth it at all. Service was slow, seafood had a fishy taste like it wasn't fresh, and the sauce wasn't my favorite it lacked flavor. Way too expensive for not even the bare minimum. 1 star only for the truffle fries lol, they were good. read more

I loved this place before it was this place. Now that it's Kickin kasain it's and upgrade from the last restaurant. It's always good food.

5/5 the staff here are good, they know how to service their customers. I have them a $20 tip. The bowl that we ordered teriyaki chicken was mixed with crab legs, green mussels, shrimp with corn and potatoes. It was actually cook and seasoned well. Inside has good space to accommodate your party size. Since it was busy, the cooks were still able to deliver good quality food. Parking outside is generous with lots of space available, you will be ok. I hope they keep this place good food and clean. read more

I've been looking for the opportunity to try this place and today was the day I ordered takeout (traditional shrimp with original Kickin mix sauce). The worst shrimp boil I've had! It was oily, and the shrimp soggy. From the potatoes to the rice- absolutely tasteless. The only somewhat enjoyable food was the corn. I left everything else - $87 to waste. So sad I won't be a return customer. read more

Kickin Kasian used to be our go-to spot for seafood boil, but lately, something feels off. We stopped by on a Friday around 4 PM and had a 45-minute wait--not unexpected for the time, but still a bit long. They do have a parking lot, but finding a spot during peak hours can be a challenge. For our meal, we ordered two 18-piece Traditional Shrimp ($22.50) with mild Kickin Mix, plus fried calamari and lemon pepper fries. The calamari and fries were spot on--crispy, flavorful, and cooked well! The shrimp, though, seemed smaller than before, and they skimped on the sauce, which was a letdown. Service was inconsistent. Our first server wasn't great, but later, another server took over and really turned things around--super friendly, patient, and attentive. Overall, we still come back because it's the most convenient option, but it just doesn't hit the same as it used to. Hoping they step it back up! read more

We ordered online, website said ready at 7:57. 1 hour for the order to be ready . We assumed that is adjusting for the fact that it's Valentine's Day so we showed up at 8. Waited 45 minutes outside till the order was ready. Why not have a more accurate time on your website? Why not turn off online ordering if you're understaffed and can't handle the volume of orders coming in ? Management dropped the ball on this one. Respect your neighborhood who supports your business. Me and all the other people who waited outside would have been happy to wait at home. Front desk could not give anyone an update on when the food would be ready. Also had to heat up some of the food. read more

Came in for their Dine LA special and had a wonderful lunch! I love the bibs and gloves (I should probably have this most places I dine). It was quick service, and although it's "spicy" it was very flavorful and not overpowering at all. We both got the shrimp and despite not deciding on the lobster roll, they brought it anyway--whoops! We enjoyed it (and paid for it, lol) but still a surprise. The combo meal is a great portion for lunch and the Dine LA special makes it a great option for a quick and budget friendly meal! read more

Went to Kickin Kasian on the way down from Big Sur. Originally from SoCal and it was the perfect way to end our trip. We ordered quite a variety. It was actually my first time trying crawfish. We even ordered extra sausage and corn after we demolished these two bags. An enjoyable time. It was quite busy but the waitress was quite adherent to our request. It's loud and full of life. I truly appreciated the diversity and laughter I could hear. The best part was this cute toddler who we kept making faces with. read more
