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!

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.

I ordered the Stir Fry Spicy Beef, Mapo Tofu, and the Pork Belly. Everything was tasty and have no complaints as far as the actual flavors. I do think that the Mapo Tofu should always be soft tofu rather than firm, but that's just a personal preference. The beef was plentiful and extra tender and the pork belly was perfectly melt-in-your-mouth, so good that I felt like I had to ration it throughout the next few meals. I do wish it came with more rice. I ordered three sides and only got one box of rice. I was hoping to have at least two so I can eat it for several days. However, to end on a positive note, when I walked in to pick up my order, the woman (owner possibly) was incredibly friendly and spoke Mandarin to me. She was welcoming, funny, and we briefly argued how spicy food should really be for it to be enjoyable. "The spicier the better," me thinks. Come show these guys some love!

We got 8 potstickers (they were giving 4 to each person for free to celebrate). Mouthwatering. The potstickers are the best ones I've ever had. We usually go for the chicken curry. However, this time we got the butternut squash/ shrimp mix, and their new chicken teriyaki. All of them were so flavorful, I'm pretty sure they are fresh. You can never go wrong with anything here. I would recommend everything! The only note I would make is that this is a smaller restaurant. There isn't a lot of space for the demand. If you go, I would recommend making a reservation. If you don't, you will most than likely have to wait for a table to open up. The service is always great. This time our food took a very long time, especially our main dishes. However, we don't mind waiting at all. Just a heads up that it might take a little longer than expected! Please be patient and give this place all the love it deserves.

I swirl it for 10 seconds or so then let it rest on my sauce of choice - sesame paste sauce, or chili garlic oil sauce. I'll eat it, along with noodle or rice, a qail egg perhaps. My mouth explodes with flavor. Every time. Hot pot, hot pot. In my gastronomical journey through life, Chinese hot pot is possibly my greatest encounter. And locally, it's Le Pot. Best broth bases - mala spicy, pork bone, and Tom yum are endorsed by me and my girlfriend Great foodstuffs - qual egg, udon noodles, good fatty beef, crab sticks, good old cabbage, tofu, bean curd, enoki mushroom etc - Lamb and pork are alright at this location, could be better Great sauce bar, as I can assemble my staples - Sauce 1: black vinegar, chili oil with flake, garlic oil with garlic, sesame oil, scallions, cilantro (about equal parts and adjust); season with sugar, salt and soy sauce if desired - Sauce 2: lots of sesame paste, and leave as is or maybe add scallions, chili oil, sesame seed **I do wish they had chive paste** - Sauce 3: Oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, cilantro, green onion, black vinegar Value - it's like 30-35 dollars a person here. - I often leave more satisfied here than I do after a "fancy" night on the north loop What's missing - ambiance is okay - I do like a huge communal pot - Chive flower paste - Pork and lamb could be better - Broths are good, but I like the Chicago restaurants best Local hot pot honorable mentions - the place at Asia Mall with the electric rack innovation - Legendary Spice - you are free to grab a tray and raid their fridges/freezers for whatever meat, vegetable, etc you want. But the borth wasn't as good. Overall, it's rather expensive but quality is in some ways lower than Le Pot. - J Pot - Korean bbq and hot pot.
