What I support for this establishment is less about its food but more about its message and the way…read moreit serves communities. Ever since 2020, the climate surrounding the George Floyd Square has changed dramatically, and this establishment has become an even stronger integral part of the community as the square itself had represented how the community thrives with its people. A lot of respect for the establishment from that perspective. In terms of food, I would say the soul food, which contained mostly sides, were the main highlight for me. The mac & cheese was salty enough. The fries were solid in a "you can't really go wrong with it" type of way. The candied yams had enough sweetness. The collard greens could taste better but standards must be lower when they're not homemade. I also enjoyed the catfish fillets as they were fried to preserve enough hotness and softness. A lot of what they served, they made on the spot, which was what may be causing longer wait for some. Meat-wise, a lot of items could use further improvement because they were too dry, such as the smoked wings and the beef brisket. The wings were dry to the point that they condensed and got extremely salty. The brisket relied a lot on the sauce and the existing fat on the meat for juiciness while the meat itself didn't have a lot of flavor or juice. As for the ribs, they had some seasoning, and tasted just fine, and weren't as dry. But I have had ribs in Texan barbeque places before and knew what "seasoned" ribs were like and therefore concluded that the ribs here were not spectacular. With all that said, however, I still will return here as often as I can because I love supporting this business. The person serving me was very hospitable and patient. I still got some pretty solid barbeque even if it's not Texas. Besides, outside just the barbeque food, the soul food was solid, like I had mentioned above.

My wife and I decided to try out the Cajun House since we both enjoy spicy food and had never been…read morethere before. The drive wasn't the best because of a nasty storm coming in, but once we arrived, the atmosphere inside made up for it. The place was nicely decorated and had a lot more seating than it looked like from the outside. We were greeted right away and shown to our table. As the rain slowed down, more people started coming in, and I noticed they also had quite a few Uber Eats calls because several drivers stop by for orders while we were there, so takeout seems to be pretty common there too. We started off with the soft shell crab and cream puffs. My wife wanted me to try several of the dishes she ordered, some of which I'd never had before. A lot of it wasn't really my style, but it still tasted pretty good just different from what I'm used to. The only hiccup was getting napkins; once the place got busy, I ended up having to walk up to the counter to grab some myself. Other than that small issue, we really enjoyed our visit and I plan on coming back to try some of the other dishes on the menu.

I took it home and made it with pasta the next day as the server suggested, and loved it:) will be coming back for more!

The decorations in there are super cute - underwater / boats / sea life themed. They even had cool doors that looked like that of a ship. The place was very clean and well organized. Every table had a roll of paper towels which was much needed after handling the delicious seafood. We split the Luscious Special Boil (I believe) and it was the perfect amount for the 8 of us! They split it into 2 plates to split more easily and it was perfect! Everything had amazing flavor and we left satisfied. We will definitely be back! One note - if you have a larger group, make sure to call in for a reservation to ensure they can accommodate you.

I've only tried a bite of the chicken and it is good Korean chicken, but my favorites are the bao…read morebuns with either the bulgogi or the pork belly and the bulgogi fried rice. The latter is one of my all time favorites from any restaurant, especially with some extra fried egg on it. I'd say the most important thing here is to look beyond the Korean fried chicken. They have so many other great and new (to me at least) items. I mentioned a few favorites. Another interesting one is the Mopo Corndog, mozzarella cheese covered with a breading that includes crunchy potato cubes. It sounds strange but it was really good. It looks like they've expanded their menu since I was there. But the fried rice and bao are just my go to order. I've only had pickup and I've never had to wait more than a couple minutes and the employees are kind. Food is hot and travels well. The only downside is it's a bit expensive, but it's worth it. FYI they don't advertise them but they do sell gift cards, I got one for the whole family last Christmas. It was definitely a favorite gift.

I've had two very different experiences here, back to back. Love the storefront so cute…read more First visit: The restaurant was fairly empty, and the menu looked so good it was honestly hard to choose. I ordered the Seoul Platter with extra wings. The platter included two drums, four wings, pork potstickers, bulgogi fries, and Korean street corn with coleslaw. Service seemed limited (it looked like only two staff members), but the food came out quickly and was excellent. Crispy wings, great flavor, and everything tasted fresh. That first visit left a strong impression. Second visit (the next day): The restaurant was much busier, and unfortunately, the service didn't hold up. I waited about 15 minutes just to be seated and never got the chance to place an order. Eventually, I had to leave, which was disappointing, especially since I enjoyed the food so much the day before. Overall: The food is really good and definitely worth trying, but service consistency needs improvement. I'm willing to give it another shot, just hoping for a smoother experience next time.

Recent takeout order was The Trifecta, 3 sliders of their main sandwiches. Common grocery store small buns. Husband picked them apart, ate the chicken and the pork, fed the brisket to the dog. ($18.95). (Honestly, the little slice of brisket looked like the heel off a shoe.) I gambled and had the Coconut Salmon Bowl and it was just OK. ($18.95) Everyone has one now so easy to copy and no excuse to get it wrong. Too much rice, dry salmon. Husband got in a tangle with the host when he picked up our order because I had his name on it but he thought I had it in my name. Had to produce ID. Well, OK. Expensive second chance (Third? Fourth?) Buyer beware. There are plenty of good reviews, I might ask the waiter what is good. Overdone seems to be the rule.

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 :) )
