This is a nice little gem in our community. The staff was really nice, pleasant. I got the Cajun special, which came with the half pounds of shrimp head off, A crab leg, 3 potatoes in one coin, I added an extra corn. My cousin got mozzarella sticks, fried oysters, sweet potato fries, fried shrimp and regular fries and crab cakes the food was good and tasty. The place was clean a little dark and I'm not sure if they have a restroom. Other than that, I would go back

I was in the Ladera Heights shopping complex and remembered a friend really talking this place up! I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Ramen with lemon pepper and garlic and butter seasoning. I got a 12 oz of the clamp chowder and I also got the fried shrimp with fries. My total was 45,47 something. (I cannot recall final amount). I must say, the food is very, very tasty.. The soup is filling and nicely seasoned. I love the thickness. It's a complete meal. The ramen is delicious and reminds me of the garlic noodles at Beverly Hills Crustaceans. The fried shrimp and fries were nicely prepared and I enjoyed those as well. Don't sleep on this place. Parking is ample and this food is jamming. I will return.

came here on a sunday evening with one other person and there was no wait. I thought that was a bit telling since I'm used to seeing long lines for seafood boil spots around dinner time... some more people came in as we ate but it never got crowded (about 4 parties in the restaurant at once max). the waitress got us seated right away and took our orders promptly. we got the #1 shrimp star family combo with 2lbs of crawfish for the choice of 2 in mild full house sauce. you could also get the shrimp peeled for a few extra bucks which my friend opted for but they did not look as appetizing as when the shell is on imo. when it came out, it didn't look very saucy and we were able to ask for extra sauce on the side. the sauce wasnt super flavorful but mostly oily and spicy. I usually love crawfish but it did not taste nor feel fresh from here. I'm sure it was frozen but it didnt say that on the menu. the pieces were very small and the texture was dry. everything was quite mediocre and we thought it was around the same price for boiling crab, but with lower quality food. we would have much rather waited in the long line at boiling crab if it meant our taste buds would be happy. if you're really craving seafood boil and in the area, this isn't a bad option but I don't think it was good enough to satisfy my craving.

I was told about this place from a relative. I've already been to Star Crab about 3 times in the last month so that should say something. The service here is great, very attentive and friendly staff. The Cajun special is the way to go if you're not planning on sharing; snow crab legs, peeled shrimp, 1 corn and potatoes. I have yet to try the other items but as of right now this is my to go spot!

The food was okay. I think boiling point is still the best seafood boil. The place was empty, so we got seated instantly. The seafood was fresh, I didn't get sick. The crab wasn't mushy and still had integrity. I feel like the flavor of the sauce could use more work. It wasn't impactful enough. The gumbo was pretty good though. Try it, if you do come here

Seafood boil flavor is top tier! I didn't want to waste a drop of it. We did order 2 different soups and those tasted very bland. Free parking and huge booth areas to sit! We arrived at the perfect time and were seated right away. Within about 10 minutes 6 more parties had come in and waited to be seated lol. Timing is everything. Service was friendly!

Ashley F.

Foods pretty good and nicely seasoned. I usually order Full House/Spicy, delicious! Service has gotten better since opening. Usually not too crowded, I've never had to wait. I'll definitely return, conveniently located! Super casual, nautical theme, no need to dress up!

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.

The pricing was also frustrating: you pay for the meal, then pay extra for how it is prepared. I paid $44 for two small clusters of snow crab with very little meat. The food was mediocre and did not feel worth the price. I also had to keep swatting away fruit flies while trying to eat. I was there for an hour, and the waiter never checked on me after delivering my food. The music was extremely loud. When I asked for it to be turned down, it seemed to get even louder, which made the experience more unpleasant. You may wonder why I stayed. After a long weekend volunteering with the American Legion, where I am a member, I was simply too tired and hungry to go elsewhere. As a United States Army veteran, I value courtesy and respect, and I did not feel that either was reflected in the service I received. Overall, the food, service, atmosphere, and value fell short of my expectations. Between swatting away fruit flies, the loud music, and the lack of service, I will definitely never come back here. P.S. I had to go get my own to go bag and Noone spoke to me on the way out.
