Chinese Bacon & Sausage Fried Rice
Jay S.

Ever since before the pandemic, I have been visiting this establishment relatively frequently since it's difficult to find a Chinese BBQ spot in the Twin Cities, and as much as it used to give me a stomachache almost every time, it was worth it because the food is very authentic and I would recommend it to those seeking Chinese BBQ, even though it also has cajun style seafood options available, which I have had before as well. My friend and I returned here earlier this year and it was my first time going there since the pandemic, and I am happy to say that I think they have maintained their food quality. I didn't even get a stomachache this time, which meant that their meat kebabs were not undercooked anymore, which was for sure a good thing. I don't have anything specific to recommend because when it comes to Chinese BBQ, it's really just a "whatever you feel like" type of situation based on your preference, but I can safely say that pretty much everything I have had was a hit in authentic ways. Not the best spot I have ever been to for this kind of cuisine, but great regardless given how scarce Chinese BBQ is here. Hopefully this can at least help some know that they can come here for authetic Chinese BBQ, at least!

Pretty tasty restaurant with a very large menu! If you looking for a place that has Chinese bbq, Sichuan dishes, dim sum, and American Chinese food then this is it. Some of the items taste better than others but overall everything is solid. Service is always very nice, and I like that you can order on a QR code available at the table.

This place is authentic Chinese style with Cajun flavor. Lobster combo is SO good, but I don't like that the hot food is put in a plastic bag within a pale. It's hard to get the food out. Everything else is great! It seems like they are short staffed, so service is a little slow. But I will definitely come back again!

Very quiet in here today. The name suggests Cajun but it's definitely an Asian restaurant. The menu is huge but not very informative. Luckily the waiter answered all my questions. I went with the frog leg dinner, added a little extra spice, and thoroughly enjoyed it. We also enjoyed the beef lo mein , also adding a little spice to it. Both items were very good. I would say that the menu has something for everyone.

Great marketing by those within the Cajun community has Asian restaurants calling themselves cajun. With that being said I walked from my hotel to this place to to pick up a couple of things to take back to my room. I visited The Cajun House and was impressed with the restaurant's ambiance and menu offerings. I ordered the Mango Pomelo Sago ( Mango pomelo sago is a type of contemporary Hong Kong dessert. Diced mango, pomelo, sago, coconut milk, and milk) It was okay just lack the flavor I expected. I also ordered the Spicy Fried Chicken Wings since they didn't have the Korean Chicken Wings. The wings weren't close to being spicy but they were good and crispy. Overall, The Cajun House was okay and I would visit again if in the area.

Do not be fooled, oh friends-- this is not a Cajun restaurant. While yes, they serve beautiful looking Cajun seafood boils, that probably taste as good as they smell, the true gem is their Chinese food. Probably the best I've had in the twin cities, perhaps even in the Midwest. We came for the 烧烤-- barbecue skewers. I didn't grab a picture of the beef skewers we started with as we were too quick to eat them. Absolutely stunning. The beef was inundated with cumin and chili, and was quick to arrive, piping hot. The prince of this meal was the eggplant (of which we ordered two :0). The garlic sauce was intoxicating. I will warn that you may be sweating garlic for a week after, but it was well worth it. You won't be thinking of anything else. The princess was the bean curds (豆皮)。stuffed to the brim with enoki and greens, it was meaty, crispy, and fresh. We didn't need to order the chives because of how much veg was in the tofu skin. Again, fodder for my dreams. The King of the meal was the noodles. Steamed rice noodle with beef flank. OH. MY. GOD. The beef was falling apart tender-- sweet with star anise and cinnamon. The noodles were fresh and spongy, and soaked up the decadent sauce. The woman who helped us flipped fluidly between English and Mandarin, and was kind, joyful, and clearly proud of the incredible food this restaurant could offer. All in all, amazing. Not to be cheesy, but this place is incredible.

The Cajun fries so good tasty like rally's fries or checkers if you don't know they are one in the same
Chezarael W.

Cajun fries are a complete hit the mild was quite spicy as well I loved that not too intense just right! The crabs and shrimps were good too I didn't like the lemonades so much pulp, my son ordered the catfish he didn't like it maybe more seasoning on your catfish would help that and don't cut them the way you do to keep those vein lines in the fish it throws off the look of freshness!

A bib for all!

It's across from Fairview Clinic, kind if easy to miss. We had the seafood boil, and it was of variable quality. Food: Went with my in-laws, who asked if the crawfish were live (and were assured that they are), and I'm inclined to believe them. The crawfish was the best part of the boil: we had the green mussels, crab legs, baby octopus. [They were out if clams this day.] Everything except the crawfish was very... fishy, kind if rubbery. It tasted just barely on the okay side of old. Even the corn tasted super frozen-- and I have no problem with frozen corn, but it was dehydrated and sad when cooked? Like it was frozen corn that was then over-microwaved? The seasoning and sauces were good though, as were the potatoes (though the russet potatoes were a tad too big, so the flavor never soaked through-- they definitely should've cut these in half or in thirds). Service: Quite friendly, a reasonable speed. Attentive, plus had all that was necessarily for a successful crawfish boil: bibs, napkins, the crab-eating accoutrements. Ambience: Decor was seafood-kitsch, with some netting on the walls and life preservors, etc. Kind of falling into disrepair though... There was some clutter (stacks of cardboard boxes, tangles of wiring, a super large freezer) in corners, but it wasn't disruptive. Bathrooms: Two stalls in the ladies room, clean but also kind of falling into disrepair (very dim and several light bulbs needed to be replaced, painters tape holding up a vent, unpainted drywall patches). Parking: Street parking only, it seemed. It was bad, it wasn't great. Food was hit or miss, and everything else was FINE, but only just.

Delicious! The squid, beef, and tendon kebabs were my favorite kebabs and the oysters were amazing! Highly recommend!

I understand crawfish season isn't in, but lots of room for improvement on the freshness taste of food.

Y'all, this place is a sleeper restaurant. It is in a bit of a sketchy area with less than stellar…read morereviews. However, my friends and I were craving Cajun food and wanted to give it a shot. Boy, were we surprised! The seafood was so fresh when we ordered. We got the shrimp, crawfish, and snow crab legs. Maybe they just got their shipment on Monday, but it really hit the spot. They did mess up my order ( I ordered House Mix with Medium spice but got Garlic Butter with Mild spice), but it didn't change the fact I enjoyed my meal thoroughly. Also, their corn was great. I'm usually a fan of seafood boils that have a thicker sauce consistency (like King Cajun), so if you're the same, you might want to skip. Their sauce is a bit on the more liquid side. I would say if you're gonna eat here, place your order online and pick up your food and head out. It will hit the spot, but you don't want your car parked around outside cause it's honestly a bit scary.

If you want seafood & aren't looking for a fancy restaurant, this is your place!…read more Food was good & shrimp a bit rubbery.. I appreciate the king crab came with slits cut on it so you can crack them open easier! I ordered the "Feast Combo 2" which includes half one king crab legs, half pound snow, crab legs, half pound shrimp with no head, one corn, one potato and side of fries! Cost was $66.48 with a pop!

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 :) )

The dish is, more or less, the same as the one from Little Tijuana so I had to get it. This version seemed to have been made a bit more "edina" by removing a lot of the spicy ginger flavor from the original that I love so much. It was still really good, though. Perfectly tempura'd florets with kewpie and a sweet soy-based sauce like hoisin. I'd get it again (I always do) but recommend getting the full Little T's experience if you get the chance

I won't lie the poboy was good but what made it amazing is the lemon aioli that I added to it. The boudin balls were chicken and actually tasty. I give it 4 out 5 and I will definitely try again.

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 atmosphere is lively, the seafood tastes fresh, and the kitchen clearly pays attention to presentation as much as flavor. If you're looking for one of the Twin Cities' best seafood dishes, this one belongs on your must-order list. Fresh, colorful, and packed with flavor--Smack Shack delivers every time.
