Stopped here for lunch. I should have read the reviews 1st since I expected to dine- in and it's takeout only. The place both inside and out didn't look very inviting but have learned as they say to not judge a book by it's cover. We were greeted warmly by the woman working behind the counter. We placed our orders and were out within a few minutes. I ordered the jambalaya with andouille sausage. My husband ordered the beans and rice. She asked if we wanted some hot sauce on the side. Naturally, we said yes. We opened the hot sauce container at home and should have tasted it before pouring it on my rice. It tasted and smelled 'funny'. Almost like wet cardboard. Luckily it was a small container and didn't totally ruin the dish. Otherwise I thought the jambalaya was ok. Nothing exciting. Overall, the food was ok, but there was nothing I'd rush back to get again. 2024-22

Awesome all made from scratch and authentic!! Everything sounded great which made it hard to pick because it's all my favorites, so we got the"Tour of the Quarter" sample sizes of jambalaya, Red beans and Rice, Crawfish étouffée, loaded grits, & large sauté shrimp, side of Andouille Sausage, Cornbread and Slaw!!! And added a Crispy catfish!!! If you held a gun to my head I couldn't pick my favorite because it was all awesome! Perfectly cooked and seasoned with a spicy flavor that was warming deliciousness but was not too hot, just very flavorful!!! The owner was the only one on the floor which was nice because He was so friendly, warm and proud of the food they present and grateful seeing you enjoying it all!!! We were stuffed and very happy! Definitely will return with friends and family! It is an hour ride but very well worthwhile especially on a nice day . We got some fresh produce from the local farms, and Bye's popcorn on the way home! Great day!

Ordered first time, glad I did. Crawfish etouffee was delicious. Shrimp grits was very very good. The cheese crawfish flatbread was very tasty. Packed well, I will be ordering again, very soon.

Love this place, food is top tier, especially given the prices! However, there was a minor kitchen mismatch with my order today. I ordered an 8oz cup of sausage and grits which I was looking forward to but when I opened my order after I left I had realized they gave me an 8oz gumbo chicken and sausage. Should've checked prior to leaving but that's my mistake.

DELISH!

I FINALLY GOT THE SHE CRAB SOUP!!!! It was utter bliss . It just as good, dare I say better, than when I had it years ago in Fripp Island, SC. The gators bites with the remoulade are awesome. I was leary as it's about $9 for 4 ounces but to my pleasant surprise they about filled a soup container. I also got the special lobster grits. I have to admit I prefer the shrimp. And as always got the star of the show, crawfish étouffée. Sadly no pic of the gator since I ate it in the car lol. I'm also bummed I forgot a fruit tea and the crawfish bread

Jambalaya with Andouille Sausage

First time trying this place and it's very yummy!! Gentleman at the counter was very polite and kind. I got the classic jambalaya with extra sausage. Delish!!

OMGGGGGG I have been wanting to try this place for a while and tonight I didn't want to cook and…read morefast food just wasn't going to do it. I ordered the fried catfish, the crawfish stouter, and the fried okra with a Hurricane to go. Food was ready quick quick quick. I live pretty close so I went to pick it up. The space was large, tucked away. It was clean and simple but the SMELL. The smell was the EXACT way you want a New Orleans restaurant to smell. If you have been down there and know how to cook Creole/Cajun, you know exactly what I mean. I got home and sipped the Hurricane and I was like oh it taste like orange juice then BAM! It hit me, it was adequately strong. And then I opened it and saw beautifully golden brown catfish and fried okra. I opened the etouffe and it smelled like the southern creole cooking I love. The taste was perfect, the okra was crispy, the catfish was soft and flaky, and the etouffe was beautifully smooth and flavorful. My only complaint was the catfish was like a filet and a half and not two filets. I just cannot believe the food is hidden in Rochester. I will be frequenting regularly!

So happy we finally had the opportunity to return to this gem of a restaurant. The food was…read moredelicious and our server, Katie greeted us as we walked in the door making us feel welcome. She also helped us navigate the menu as we were unsure what to order. Everything she recommended was delicious! If you enjoy Cajun cuisine or just want solid excellent food with generous portions, go there! You won't be disappointed. And ask for Katie!

The modern, chic decor sets a wonderful ambiance, and the service was immediate and welcoming. The food was spectacular from start to finish. We started with fresh, warm bread, followed by a flavorful seafood gumbo loaded with meat, and a generous portion of two lightly breaded crab cakes. For our mains, the 10oz ribeye and 8oz tenderloin were seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection--compliments to the chef! They came with a lovely side of baby potatoes and vegetables. We capped off a perfect meal with a warm pecan tart and ice cream. I highly recommend coming here. We noticed they have a pizza oven and plan to add pizza to the menu soon; we already can't wait for our next visit to try it out! Ps parking wise, the restaurant is just off a residential neighborhood and parking is free. No need to pay for any parking, just remember to read signs.

There are specials that change weekly. The interior is decorated with New Orleans memorabilia, medium lit, cozy (not large), with jazz music in the background. Service was attentive and friendly. They operated for 30 years at their old location. This location soft-opened on 2026-02-12. We came on 2026-02-25 for dinner. There were still some furnishings to complete (there were unforeseen delays). They kept the same menu offerings but it will be expanded within a month. We ordered the following: 1. Citra Terre D'Abruzzo Pinot Grigio - Italy (glass $14.95). 2. Coke. 3. Crab Cakes ($19.95). 4. New Orleans Shrimp Cocktail ($19.95). 5. Jambalaya Aranchini (weekly special). 6. Blackened Lamb Chops (weekly special). 7. New Orleans Fisherman's Plate ($39.95). 8. Pecan Pie warmed with Ice Cream ($14.95). 9. Bananas Foster ($14.95). 10. Beignet ($14.95). Every dish had an excellent presentation. We spent a lot of time taking photos and videos. What did you expect from me?! We loved all the dishes! The portions were large! There are more staff than in the previous location, allowing the service to be excellent. They tend to have many loyal and returning customers. Every table starts with freshly baked bread and butter. The bread was so fresh! The three appetizers tasted good. They each had a little kick due to creole cuisine. I loved the shrimp the most. The Blackened Lamb Chops was perfectly cooked. Each of the four pieces were very tender, accompanied by a delicious sauce. The dish had some very nicely cooked seasonal vegetables: roasted potatoes, a red pepper, string beans, a broccoli, and a carrot. This dish will be put into their regular menu in the near future. The New Orleans Fisherman's Plate is great if you want a little sampling of their seafood: Blackened Fish, Cajun Calamari, and Coconut Beer Shrimp. It also comes with rice and seasonal vegetables. The fish was so good! We brought some home for my mom and she really loved it. The Coconut Beer Shrimp was on top of a Orange Marmalade Sauce, which is really liked. The three desserts looked really good and tasted good. I loved the pecan pie the most. They can split dishes in half in the kitchen and serve them on two dishes for two people to share. The restaurant uses fresh seasonal ingredients and spices to create authentic Creole and Cajun tastes. Everything is made in-house except for bread and butter. In the near future, their bread will be made in-house too. Currently, there is only indoor dining but they are looking into the possibility of sidewalk outdoor dining. Mike Djurdjevic runs the front of the house while his wife, Mira Djurdjevic, operates the kitchen. Their son, Marko, also helps in the front of the house. There is a large pizza oven at the back of the restaurant. They will be introducing creole pizza in the near future. There is a separate large room for events, parties, etc. This room will be ready in the near future. They also do catering. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There is one gender-neutral washroom, which is also wheelchair accessible, and one female washroom. Thrre is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2026-037

Stumbled upon here as I was searching for hidden gems. It's a shame more people don't know about this kitchen. Came in on a Saturday night around 7pm. Ordered the Blackened shrimp po boy and the Szechuan Udon with shrimp which has noodles stir fried & tossed with veggies in a spicy Szechuan inspired sauce. Both were tasty. Seasoned beautifully. Had lovely colored and delivered with every bite. Honestly it was so good that two hours later I came back and ordered food for my family. They licked the plate clean. I got them the Creole Seafood Eggrolls and the southern fried shrimp po boy. There's a few seats outside the restaurant but most people take it to go it looks like. Tell your friends. Tell your family. Slide thru. It won't disappoint. Plus it's Black owned. Bonus info! If you don't wanna order in person you can get it with grubhub, door dash, and other delivery platform

We were looking for cajun food and stumbled upon this hidden gem. When I say hidden, its hidden tucked inside an old industrial building (with zero street signage) that now houses a bunch of pop up culinary surprises. On the second floor tucked in the back corner you will find Far East Bayou. This casual take out restaurant, is a fusion of Southern New Orleans and Korean flavors. The chef was extremely friendly and ready to take us down his culinary journey down the bayou. I ordered a bunch of different dishes for my husband and I to sample: Shrimp Bo Poy - blackened, shrimp po boy- fried, crab hush puppies and honey cajun udon noodles. Everything was extremely flavorful! The sauces were out of this world. They had a nice spice on them. Not a spice that sets your mouth on fire, but spice that is flavorful and enhances everything else on the plate. The fried shrimp was super crispy and the cornmeal breading was perfectly seasoned. My only complaint is the preparation of the shrimp. The shrimp are prepared with their tails on, which made it difficult to eat. We had to dig through the sauces and toppings to find each shrimp and pull the tails off . I learned the owner makes his own kimchi, which is made using more spices and vegetables and less fish. He allowed me to sample some, and I will be dreaming about this kimchi tonight! I will definitely be coming back to try their rotating specials menu, and grab some more kimchi!

I love the decor! Very open, spacious, dark in a nice way, with a gorgeous sign at the back center wall. Staff are friendly and quick to check on you. The food was ok! I wouldn't say it was my favorite, and I wasn't quite blown away with anything. I would come back for certain things though. Starting off with the salad, the dressing had a texture and taste that I can only tell you was not made fresh in house. It had that sort of translucent quality to it that reminds me of bottled sauce. Portion was good, but I wish they would toss it for you. The bowl is full of salad and they drizzle the dressing on top. It's a thick dressing that's pretty hard to toss in the bowl. It's a minor thing but honestly would be a much better dining experience. Also if they just made their own ceasar dressing. The seafood boil was also meh. I got half pound mussels with Cajun sauce. It comes on a platter with rice, potatoes and corn. I felt that it would be nice if you could pick your own sides, like at other seafood boils. The potatoes had no flavor inside them and the corn was really starchy and rough, with no corn flavor. It was a bit off putting. The sauce was ok, but I think they use too much seasoning powder, or over cooked the garlic because it was leaving a bitter flavor behind. I didn't love it by the third bite. The fish and chips were probably the best of what we ordered. It's the Costco fries texture which I love!!! Plus the fish is cooked well. The batter is very light and crispy. Total perfection! So yeh!! I would highly recommend the fish and chips, but I would probably skip the boil here.
