The food absolutely delivered. We tried the Op Boys Special sloppy joe and the Craw Mac Deluxe, and both were excellent. The jambalaya was another standout and easily something I'd order again. Service was on point, and they have a seriously impressive selection of drinks. There's plenty more on the menu I want to try, so I'll definitely be back.

This place is indeed such a jewel of a place. We were walking back from Union Station after a…read moreDodger game and as we were walking by I was curious to see if the restaurant was actually open. The exterior looks like it should be, but unfortunately many restaurants have been closing in this part of the city. Luckily, it was indeed open and the interior was VIBRANT! The design was colorful, filled with hand chalked signs of the menu, and everything, from the tables to the art on the walls, burst with personality. This is a place where minimalism doesn't exist and instead, it spends every opportunity to showcase who it is. Ordering is relatively simple. You walk over to the counter and tell them what you want. Everything is made to order so it'll take some time, but when it comes to refreshments you can see their large selection of different drinks in their glass case refrigerator on the side. My junior high years inspired me and I had to get an Arizona ice tea. It came in clutch as refreshment considering how hot the day was. On one wall there was a huge TV showing the Fifa World Cup games. It caught my eye and so we decided to dine in instead of taking it to go. Great choice by the way since hot food is best to eat right away. And what exactly did I get? Their po' boys of course! You have to keep it classic. We had the popcorn shrimp po' boy and it was fantastic. Meaty, tangy from the sauce, and with the right amount of green in their fluffy but structurally intact bread, I believe I finished this in five minutes cause it was so good. My hunger didn't dissipate quickly so I had to go back for round two. The Debris Fries caught my eyes. Fries smothered with their brown gravy and cheese, it was a delicious disaster and warmed my belly and fulfilled my appetite. I was one happy food belly dad. Being connected to a small store with neon lights highlighting some of the hot sauces and merchandise you can buy on one side while connected to the pub next door on the other side, The Little Jewel of New Orleans is one of those places you take good friends to when you want to show them a special place where the food is delicious, the vibes are immaculate, and the experience unforgettable. Whether you have to find an excuse to come out here or the restaurant is the excuse, make your way to The Little Jewel of New Orleans the next time you're around Chinatown. You won't regret it. Bring that appetite with you!

The outdoor patio feels like you accidentally wandered into a breezy corner of the French Quarter. Warm lights, casual seating, and that "kick back and stay awhile" energy. Ordering through the app and picking up at the window makes you feel like you're part of a secret club, the kind where the password is "extra napkins, please." * Chicken Po' Boy, WOW...This thing is stacked. Crispy chicken, tangy sauce, and bread that holds everything together like it's doing core workouts. It's messy in the best way, the kind of sandwich that demands respect and maybe a bib. * Fully Loaded Cajun Tots, These tots don't play around. They show up dressed to impress, cheese, toppings, flavor, the whole squad. It's basically a tiny potato block party, and you're invited. * Beignets, very delicious, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and dusted with enough powdered sugar to make you question your laundry choices. One bite and suddenly you're hearing jazz horns in the distance. Their coffee game....Dangerously good. My boogie coffee drink - latter came out smooth, sweet, and caffeinated enough to make me consider running around the block a few times. It's the kind of drink that makes you shimmy in your seat and say, "Yeah... life is good." This place nails the New Orleans vibe without trying too hard. Great food, fun energy, and a patio that makes you forget you're in LA traffic territory. Come hungry, come curious, and definitely come ready for powdered sugar on your shirt. Miguel C.

It's a small self served restaurant with a limited menu that changes, since not everything we saw on yelp was available. When we visited the options were crispy chicken/hot link sliders, different variations of tots and beignets. We went with the crispy chicken sliders and loaded Cajun tots and they were both very flavourful and delicious. The chicken was well seasoned and crispy paired with tangy pickled vegetables and a tasty pretzel bun. The combination of flavours packed a punch but we did wish for a thicker slice of chicken. The tater tots were very well seasoned too and the sauces were yummy, something acidic would be a nice addition to cut through the fatty goodness. When we asked for utensils they didn't have any forks so they gave us one spoon and one knife. We made it work. Definitely want to come back to try other things on their menu whenever they rotate it.

My family and I were on our way home from a long day of errands so we decided to order online for pickup on the way home since we live fairly close to it. It did not disappoint! Since it was our first time trying it, we only ordered a 1 pound of shrimp, 1 pound of mussels, with some corn and potatoes mixed in with the Super Cajun Signature Seasoning. We wished we ordered more! It was just as good as The Boiling Crab if not better, especially since you don't have the long wait. Just keep in mind that it is a small casual spot and not a big restaurant. Even though we ordered for pickup, it did look like a nice little setup. We will definitely be ordering from here again, especially since it's close by and a local business to support!

I loved how they give you an option to upgrade for peeled shrimps. I did this but sadly they don't give you the receipt back so wouldn't know how much more. ( you have to ask for it for them to give it to you) Service: The service was good although I didn't like that after 11pm it's ONLY CARDS. No CASH I ordered around 11:20pm and the girl allowed me to pay cash although she had already cashed out the registers. Although I did have to speak up for myself which I don't like because I know others would've left it like that. I called 15 mins before going to the restaurant to make sure they did accept cash and who ever picked up said YES. BUT then when I got there she said she couldn't accept my cash. I told her what happened about my call and the drive I did so she helped me out and accepted the cash. This is why I'm leaving it as a 4 star review. I didn't like that the person who picked up the phone call lied but the girl who helped me out with my order was kind turned it around. Ambience : The restaurant is small inside around 2 tables I believe but you can always take food to go and it's clean inside. But I can't say much about it because I did take it to go.

We ordered a drinks, an appetizer and three entrees. Two of the entrees were really salty. We were kind of underwhelmed with the dishes as we saw so many reviews online and had high expectations. Overall, I would go again to give them another try.

The shrimp is easier to eat and just as flavorful. And here's my pro tip: don't throw away the leftover sauce! Mix it with pasta when you get home, and you'll have another delicious meal waiting for you. Great food, great flavors, and definitely worth the wait. I'll be back again and again.
