I had been trying to get us here for several weeks and now the stars have finally aligned! ( I did not want to cheat my gal out of this 1st time experience by having it alone. We Had So Much FUN!) Dang! I am so glad that I waited! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted and asked if we had been to KC before? ("No, but highly recommended by my employer!") Ryan, (mgr.) asked us to pick a table and would be by to explain how the menu is set up and works! (Great so far!) Staff , (and patrons as we looked around on our way to the table) were all smiles and truly looked like they were enjoying themselves! The dishes on the tables were well-presented and VERY appetizing to see! (Great Again!) At least 20 patrons were already tucking in and enjoying the heck out of the food and themselves! (most wearing plastic bibs and gloves.) A half minute after we were seated, a pleasant young lady came by with ice-water .(she and others checked back often enough to check on us.) We were both giddy at the prospect of choices offered. It took some minutes to decide after carefully looking over the menu. (So many wonderful choices! Too many, OMG I want ALL of it! ) We decided on menu item Combo 3 ( for this visit) . It consisted of : 2 cluster of snow crab legs 1 whole lobster 1 lb crawfish 1 lb head on shrimp 1 lb green mussels 1/2 lb sausage 5 corns, 5 potatoes for $99.99 (They cheerfully substituted 2 lobster tail for the whole lobster! :D We were DELIGHTED! ) We also ordered a sticky-rice (3.50) and an order of Thien's Fries, pronounced Tea-en, (Ryan kindly helped me here as it is not phonetic.) for 7.99. They are loaded with cheese, sauce, seasonings and bits! Delicious! Nearly a meal in itself! We had to stop eating the large portion of fries so we had some room left for the sea-food! .....and it came....on to the platter....erm...tray...erm ..barrel-top? (22 min from initial ordering), everything is hot, steaming, fresh and wonderful!) It was a Perfect Sea-food heaven! :D After taking in the beautiful sight of this Enormous tray, Carrie and I cracked and pealed and shared bites and ate our way to to complete satisfaction! (Men, show your love and bring your gal here and order #3! :D) Our tray was still quite full when we were done and we left with multiple meals that (Ryan carefully bagged up!) we can enjoy tomorrow! Thank you, Thien, Ryan and staff, for a memorable (and will often be repeated) experience! We Love King Cajun! Sincerely, JoeZ and Carrie (by the window :) )

While it's not the best one ever it is pretty good and better than others. If going for drinks at night a few things to note: there is usually a line to get in, the place will be absolutely packed inside, and they don't sell THC drinks (or are sold out every time I go). There is street metered parking available. Depending on when you go it could be hard to find. Luckily the North Loop makes for a good neighborhood walk.

We came here for restaurant week and had a very good experience!…read more Our server was great. Very personable and present without being overwhelming. The ambiance was very nice too. The place was very busy and had a good energy about it. I had the Jambalaya, which had chicken, sausage, and shrimp. It was pretty good and had a nice spicy kick. A good portion as well. Girlfriend had the shrimp etouffee with grits. It was nicely blackened and on a big bed of grits. Also spicy. Friend had the original lobster roll. He was surprised it came on Texas toast and not a roll. But he really enjoyed it. The dessert was a sinlme but delicious Cookit with ice cream. I recommend for restaurant week. And if you like seafood in the form of things like the lobster roll or shrimp etouffee that you don't get other places. I thought the jambalaya was fine but unremarkable. Not pictured here was the lobster mac and cheese. Which was only a small appetizer and I thought underwhelming (also, I don't like corn).

The complimentary warm bread and honey butter came out right away. One of the suggestions was the pot pie and I'm glad I tried it. I wasn't expecting much, but it was delicious. A flaky crust with a thick, savory filling with wild rice in it. I highly recommend it. My wife had the walleye sandwich. It was tasty, and a huge portion. My favorite part about their dessert is that there's no dessert menu. They bring out a large platter and let you see them all instead. We split a slice of turtle cheesecake, which was good. The decor leaves a little to be desired; the place doesn't offer much in the way of ambiance. But we plan on coming again.

Overall we enjoyed the flavor whichever seasoning we chose, whether it was Louisiana Style, Garlic Butter, or House Mix, and I chose the last one, and had a good amount of flavor attacking my taste buds. Since I ordered the shrimp, it was simple for me to enjoy a good meal. My friends thought that their respective dishes were pretty good as well, just didn't highlight anything that was spectacular. Personally I didn't like the corn as much because it was very hard and didn't possess the sweet flavor that normally sweet corn would have, and I was thinking it was because the corn wasn't ripe enough. I definitely thought this place was worth it, and would recommend anyone who wanted seafood to come through. My spouse was able to get 2 pounds of crawfish for a reasonable price, and I thought that was great!

South Minneapolis is strong and only getting stronger…read more We saw Nokomis House renovating the space, and as someone who wants to support that corner restaurant, the hallmark of neighborhood living in a city, we did what all millennials do, we followed them on Instagram. With our niece in town, on a hot night, we decided to stop in. We ordered as appetizers: Cheese curds with tomatillo salsa. I'm surprised I never connected these two flavor profiles, they utterly sing. Fingerling potatoes. Smashed down and soaked up a lot of broth I believe, with the sauce it had on the plate, this was by far our favorite appetizer, and we will be ordering it every time. We also ordered the poutine. As my other brother is technically Canadian, this one needs a little work to make the Canadian/Latin fusion feel cohesive. My wife ordered the Caesar salad, even requested a custom extra chicken and they were very nice about it. She said it was good. My niece ordered the smashburger, and she liked it. She thought it needed more adobo sauce. (Because she loved that part of it.) The leftover tomatillo sauce from the cheese curds was a perfect fries dipping sauce to complete this dish. My sister-in-law really liked the steak frites. Was cooked perfectly, and the sauce, she said was incredibly good. I ordered the risotto with birria. It is easily the best meal I've had in 2 1/2 months. This dish alone should sell you on the entire restaurant. This is Mexican fusion with an upscale new American twist. The saltiness of the birria is a punch of flavor that creates these perfect bites with the risotto. Occasionally you get a little bit of crisp onion that hits the cotija cheese, dropping the fork like the food critic in the film Ratatouille. This entire restaurant is worth visiting for this one dish. Everything else are nice additions. You need to go to the restaurant to eat this dish. I hate making risotto, it is an utter pain. I mess it up all the time, so I order it when I go to restaurants because of the difficult. I've never tried this flavor profile. It's harmony. We didn't get dessert, and hope to next time. We were just coming off a wedding weekend so we didn't get any alcoholic beverages, though all of them looked really intriguing and fresh. Upon our next visit, I definitely will be getting two different ones. Service was very strong, with our server Daniel getting refills of water quickly. We also had a deep conversation about the current status of the Timberwolves and how Jaden McDaniels will play the four in a playoff series without a big. We then knew the staff aren't shipped in from a random suburb. This is city conversation. This is city business. I think this place will find its footing as a nice compliment with Heather's down the street. Both elevated meals that you will playoff each other. I think the giant windows will make this the marquee brunch spot, but I need to come back for a visit to try it. It's worth a visit and on their first week, quite impressive.
