It the best food in my life ,love to have my kids here my kid is 13 she LOVE THIS PLACE??

What I wish someone would have told me in the reviews I read before going here:This is an oriental restaurant that is "kind of" trying to be a Cajun seafood restaurant. Not in a fusion way... in a bad, not real cajun flavors at all, type of way... It is cheaper than a real Cajun boil restaurant but not even close to being worth the cheapness.. I didn't even finish the head on shrimp in my boil.. way, way too hard to peel.. I really wanted to like a different Cajun boil place.. THIS IS NOT IT.The mango/peach Boba was good and my son liked the garlic noodles with chicken...because this is an oriental restaurant.. :)

After reading so many reviews I expected more. Got a boil with crawfish, shrimp, mussels, corn, potatoes, and sausage, also a side of sweet potato fries. Gave 2 stars for the corn and fries. Though we wish they hard more options to dip the fries than just ketchup.Paid extra for crawfish and they had no meat compared to others I had in the past. I had a really hard time finding any flavor to the sauce that was on the boil. Sad to say my favorite part of the meal was the corn on the cob. The mussels were over cooked and hard to eat, the sausage had no flavor either. It really just tasted like a slightly spicy oil I got the kickin' sauce on it, no other flavor. I even asked for a side of garlic butter as well as lemon pepper, and could taste nothing. Really felt like I ate most nothing from the bag because it wasn't good and flavorful. There were only 2 tables the entire time we were there and 3 waiters. We never once had the waiter stop by to check on drinks, or check on how things were. The others sat at the bar watching a show/playing on phones. We had to go up to them to get someone to help us pay to leave.Highly disappointed and don't really have any plan on coming back.

Staff was very polite and helpful. I'm a doordasher and have to use a cane still to walk. When I went in to pick up my order to deliver the gentleman working the register saw I was shaking trying to hurry and put my order in the bag. He kindly told me to relax and helped me put the order in my bag and zipped it. Then wished me a good rest of my day... ??

The graffiti on the doors to this restaurant provoked questions of its legitimacy as a business and whether it was operating despite a neon light flashing "OPEN."Coming from Los Angeles, businesses that had graffiti sprawled all over its doors meant the location was vacant, this was my first impression upon walking towards the doors and even then I was very reluctant not wanting to be embarrassed that my suspicions were accurate but after my husband opened the doors and I saw graffiti flooding the walls, ceilings, wooden posts, only then did my concerns settle - the most visible graffiti seemed to be from my Polynesians - nothing but love to y'all.The waitress was very polite, though I was expecting someone to be dressed in the typical restaurant- server attire I acclimated instantly to whatever the restaurant's were.The food came hot and ready to eat with a bowl of rice as a side dish.May I offer a few suggestions?*Nothing inside reflects Cajun decor or Southern style.* Cover the table with parchment paper. This allows the hot food to remain hot not succumbing to a heat resistant tray.Bring the food in the plastic bag on a tray and place it on top of the parchment paper. Take the tray away.Half-way through eating the items were cooled, not appetizing.*Disappointed with the size of the mussels. Are they baby mussells because they didn't look matured and were tiny.Traveling in Europe, Africa, South America, I've seen the variations of restaurants that offer dining experiences like this and learned what provides the best results. Of course these are just suggestions, I wasn't too kind with another establishment that offers the same dining experience because the scallops were 'rubbery' and uncooked.All around it was an interesting experience into your restaurant.

I given this place so many Chances if it’s not one thing it’s another! I paid the the $1.25 for (NO HEAD ON) the shrimp and they always give me the shrimp with the head on. The other times I Oder One bag was missing the corn and the other one was missing the potatoes! When you call to let them know they don’t believe you and don’t try to make it right. Check your Oder before leaving and if your doing dining in make sure you tell themIf you are missing something right away because if you wait they don’t believe you. I won’t be giving my money to this place anymore! My bag only had 6 shrimps.

This place was pretty good. The shrimp was big and juicy and the spicy sauce was delicious. The cajan fries was delicious as well as the corn. The sausage was just okie. The cajan wings were disgusting. Don't order those. I ordered rice with my meal that never came which was disappointing. They have military discount. 3.5 stars.

MUST visit if you are in Utah, so far the best restaurant I have found in 2 weeks , you will leave the place with a smile in your face, not only because of the food, but there are some uncommon and unique things....

Oh my heck! Soooo delicious and so much food!! We got two of the shrimp in a boiled bag, and it was just perfect for the five of us. A tinge of spice, a ton of garlic, and it was delightful! Totally looking forward to my next drive to Layton just for seafood!

I tried the Po Boy grilled shrimp sandwich along with fries and had a wonderful experience! They spiced up the fires at my request and the had a good zing to them. The Po Boy was excellent. The flavor, texture and size were all perfect. I will definitely go back!
