After always seeing this restaurant, I was finally able to stop in. After reading some of the reviews on Yelp I was excited to give it a try. The Best Cajun Asian is right on the corner and is easy to find. As I was already parked, it was easy to stop by and get something to eat. Walking in, the location was super clean, and one of the employees was still cleaning in real-time. As I walked up to the counter, I noticed the lunch special, which was rice or noodles with the option of 2 proteins. Looking at the food line, nothing actually jumped out to me. However, I was hungry and already inside, so let's get to the order. LoL! I decided on the Steamed Rice base with General Tso Chicken and Spicy Chicken as my 2 options. As you will see from the pictures, the food looked simple and fit for a lunch meal. The funny thing is once I got to the register, the lunch special was only a few cents less than the regular pricing. Once I was able to eat, the flavor profile of each meat was just as simple as the pictures. They reminded me of the food I get from the frozen foods section at the grocery store. Nothing stood out as it pertains to the flavors. As this was a lunch meal, I would rate it a 6/10, however, had I would have gotten this for dinner, I would have cried. LoL! Don't Judge me!! Overall, The Best Cajun Asian is an option if you are in the mood for a basic meal. If you are looking for something GOOD or to satisfy an authentic flavor fix, this isn't the place. You go here when you want something to hold you over and want to get it quickly. read more

I've been here several times - the food is always good and fresh. The service is also always good - the folks who work here are very nice.

I still don't know what's Cajun about this place, since they seem to offer mostly a mix of Chinese and American-Chinese food, but maybe one day I'll find out. While I do usually love my regionally-specific, authentic Chinese food, Best Cajun Asian does the more Americanized stuff very well, in large portions, for a very reasonable price. I come here for lunch weekly, and have my lunch buffet order down to a science. For under $10, you get a base of either rice or noodles (noodles have a small surcharge). The rice options are either steamed white rice or fried rice, and while the health conscious choice is obviously the steamed rice, their fried rice is exactly what I want. The noodle options are pad thai or lo mein. I tried the pad thai once and it was...not amazing, but the lo mein is pretty good. I have tried them all and I always get the fried rice. You then get to choose two of their entree options, of which there are many. My absolute favorite is the stir fried eggplant, which is the platonic ideal of a Chinese eggplant dish. Nothing I've tried here is bad, and you will be satisfied and maybe in a bit of a food coma afterward. The people who work the lunch service are so nice and friendly, and in a sea of honestly mediocre food options in the area that take forever and cost way more money, Cajun Asian will always do it for me. read more

I found out about this restaurant by chance when walking through downtown Atlanta on February 14, 2022. There are other restaurants in the area that sell pizza and sandwiches, but I wanted something different. Since I like Cajun and Asian food, I decided to give this place a try. The restaurant is small and seems to cater more to the downtown business crowd and the students at nearby Georgia State University. I believe Cajun Asian is only open until 4pm on weekdays and doesn't even open weekends. A lot of restaurants in that area tend to do that. There was only one other customer in the place when I was there. The older Asian woman at the counter was very patient in dealing with me. I didn't know that it was about twenty minutes before closing time, but she didn't rush me. I ordered the Cajun Chicken dish and she explained to me that it was very spicy. Just how I like it! The meal with no drink cost me a total of $9.53. Since most of the food is on display behind the glass and in heated compartments, I didn't have to wait long at all for it to be prepared. I didn't eat it until I got home, but it smelled good, looked nice, and tasted even better. And it was every bit as spicy as advertised. If I happen to be in the area again during business hours, I won't hesitate to order from there again. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is they don't stay open later into the evening. It would be cool if they did, but anyone who's been to downtown Atlanta after 6pm knows why they don't. read more

The food portions were good for a relatively cheap price. But that doesn't make up for the fact that it gave me food poisoning. Don't go here. read more

Fantastic and quick lunch spot on Georgia State's campus. Broad street has plenty of restaurants but they've got some of the fastest and reasonably priced food around here. Everything is already cooked and it's served up cafeteria style. Choose between steamed/fried rice or lo mein (I chose to do half steamed rice half green beans for a $1 up charge) and chose two of their vegetarian sides (eggplant and tofu & vegetables). Food was hot, fresh, and delicious. Probably some of the best eggplant in garlic sauce I've had from any Chinese spot! While I was there they had to call out for more chicken and broccoli because it's ordered so frequently and I saw someone from the back pour a new load of freshly fried veggie rolls which to me was a great sign of how fresh the food is. The veggie roll comes with the meal too! I will definitely come here again when I'm in a time crunch and need a substantial meal on campus. read more

Best Cajun Asian - Half rice half green beans (+$1 charge) with eggplant and tofu & vegetables - Asian Fusion Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

The last time I came to this end of Broad Street, this place was some other Chinese restaurant. This one is a little odd, but that's okay. They have a combo meal, along the lines of what you'd find at Peachtree Center: rice or noodles, two items (meats or veggies), egg roll or soup, and a sweet tea for under $6. The food is your standard food court Chinese, and for the most part, nothing noteworthy. The standouts for me were the egg drop soup and, strangely enough, the sweet tea. The soup had a ton of black pepper in it, so if that's not your thing, beware. Luckily, it is my thing, so I really enjoyed it. The sweet tea was deliciously sweet and refreshing. I'm glad I gave this place a try. It's not my first choice on this street FULL of choices, but their lunch combo is a good deal for the money. And that peppery egg drop soup...YUM. read more

Best Cajun Asian - the outside of a restaurant - Asian Fusion Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Being bowled over by a restaurant in Atlanta usually includes the requisite pomp and circumstance, but this joint busts out of that mold. Why? Because it's a total out-of-the-way joint that we just stumbled over while searching for a lunch place on Georgia State's bustling campus drag of restaurants. So, we had the joy of discovering a place with a) friendly service b) good, fresh food and c) no real hoops to jump through to get both of those last items. I had the chicken tempura meal, which I highly recommend. My partner also had the spicy soup lunch special - which, the owner suggested as a chicken-tofu mixture when he couldn't decide what to get. and that is highly recommended, too, because it's a huge portion and will continue to feed you days later. it was yummy, and you can get it to any spice level you want. On the day we were there, Asians themselves were eating there - which (I'm told by many folks, including my Asian pals) is an indicator that the Asian restaurant passes muster. There's standard steam-table buffet food here, too, but that didn't look too interesting to me. and with good reason - ordering off the menu seems to mean you get fresh food cooked to order. Sara is right: the lunch combo is a good value and you'll likely walk away with leftovers for later. Highly recommended. read more

I got the hot and sour small soup (around $2.5) and it was pretty good for the price (a tad salty but good!). The lady in the front was so sweet and considering it's in the city, it's a great place for an even better price! :) read more

Typical moderate quality take-out Chinese lunch. I'd give them one hand above their neighbor and competitor Gensing because you get a free drink included with your meal at a cost of ~$7 read more

Great bang for your buck, fast lunch buffet. My meal at Best Cajun Asian was definitely more on the Asian side, with some classic Americanized Chinese dishes like General's Chicken and Sesame Chicken. I got the lunch special, which includes two of items plus a heaping portion of noodles or rice. My favorite was the eggplant - heavy sauce, but it was delicious. Nothing about the place is too fancy but it's what I was looking for in cheap, fast, "Chinese" food. Considering the portions and the good quality of the food (especially for cafeteria-style serving) Best Cajun Asian is a good choice for a quick lunch in downtown Atlanta. read more

Got yesterday's leftover vege as the side of grilled teriyaki chicken :( Yellow broccoli and sour cabbage. So I update the review and take two stars off. The chicken was fresh and delicious though. read more

Best Cajun Asian - Beef Bibimbap - Asian Fusion Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I came for egg drop soup. They made the plate then told me they don't have egg drop soup. I got the hot and sour instead....I would call it hot and salt soup! It was so intensely salty I couldn't eat more than two bites. Had the orange chicken and it was quite sad and soggy. The bourbon chicken was ok. The pad thai noodles were ok. For $7 you can't beat the deal, but eating only half of it was quite disappointing. read more

2.5 stars. I've been here twice: the first time, because I was curious; the second time, because I was fed up with all other Broad Street choices. The food's quality is only average, maybe slightly worse than your standard Chinese takeout. I got the lunch combo both times with rice, orange or General Tsao chicken, broccoli, and an egg roll. The rice was quite dry. The chicken was kinda hard (overly deep-fried?) and drowning in the sugary sauce. The egg roll was to too oily and kinda tough in texture. I did like the sweet tea, though. One good thing about this place is that it is conveniently located next to GSU campus, so next time I have a Chinese-American food craving, I can easily satisfy it. read more

GROSS, GROSS, and GROSS!!! Stay away from this disaster area! Everything is overly sweet and greasy.

Not too bad. Prices are reasonable and the lady who attended us was very funny and pleasant.

Straight-forward selection of egg noodle dishes, vegetable stir-fries, and proteins (chx, beef...) All well-seasoned, prepared, and served in generous portions. read more

Had the beef bibimbap and it was soooo good. Lots of veggies and had plenty of flavor. Cant wait to try more!

The food was pretty gross compared to the other 50 Asian restaurants I've been too. I was very disappoint at how old everything was in my order. Even the fried rice tasted bad and had zero flavor. Bad fried rice turns me away from Asian restaurants in general. The chicken was also hard and want juicy at all. I won't be going back there again, you have a lot more choices on the strip they are located on. Price wise they are cheap but not cheap enough to ever get me to eat there again read more

I'm currently sitting in here and enjoying this chicken. Damn it's really good. This is my first time visiting the restaurant. I think it's on the rather pricey side for a local eat and it being a small joint but food is delicious. The drink wasn't including so my meal came out to 9 dollars total. It's not a dirty place or the cleanest either. The lady at the front counter is really nice and super fast service. I do like that the plastic knife is cover in plastic but they should do the same for forks and spoons as well. read more

Best Cajun Asian - It's the teriyaki grilled chicken with white rice and veggies. The only thing spicy is the veggies in this meal. Chicken is good - Asian Fusion Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I've only eaten there twice but the food is great, reasonable rices and the people are nice. No complaints.

This place is absolutely the best in mildly disappointing backstreet Asian café food. The place is small and cozy and if you ask nicely they'll mix a little bit of kimchi into your rice. :0) If your hopes are just low enough and you want to eat someplace peaceful you can't beat Best Cajun Asian. read more

This semester I started to dine here for lunch a lot. There's so many good places to eat around campus but there are a few reasons why this is my go-to lunch spot. First, its cheap. Second, they have some good Asian comfort food, I especially love their hot and sour soup for some reasons. Third, the owner, she reminds me of my mother, who's petite, hard working and always so nice to people. I always feel like I'm eating my mom's cooking when I eat here. Lol I was just thinking about it and caught her looking at me so I grabbed the phone and asked her to smile. She's such a lovely lady :) read more

Steam-line, mall quality Chinese perfect for lunch. I recommend the green beans and the stir-fry vegetables with tofu.

Fine for what it is, and in my opinion, it is a quick, cheap lunch joint. I can't say that I really understand the "Cajun" part of their name, but maybe that was the Bourbon Chicken. I saw gumbo on the wall menu, but it wasn't in the food line that I could see. Pretty typical cheap Asian food. Go to the beginning of the line and choose your starch from fried rice, steamed rice and Pad Thai noodles. Then you choose 2 or 3 entrees from whatever is on their line and pay a set price based on whether you choose 2 or 2. I chose tofu and veggies and Cajun chicken. The tofu was pretty dry and not very flavorful, but wasn't bad...just not memorable. The Cajun chicken wasn't anything other than Asian stir fry with a bit of hot pepper. No Cajun influence that I could taste. Again, not bad, just not memorable. You can choose soup or an egg roll. I chose the egg roll and it was pretty greasy, but I've had worse. I did ask for "just a bite" of the kim chi, and it was the best bite of food I had! The restaurant itself was pretty much a dump. I was nervous the entire time I sat during lunch for fear that I would be involuntarily relocated to the floor. When I inspected my wobbly seat I found multiple screws, lots of evidence of glued joints, and felt strongly that more screws and additional glue would have been ineffective. This chair needed a quick trip to the dumpster. Don't go to the women's restroom if you are hot natured. While the toilet and sink were clean, there was zero ventilation and it was hot, hot, hot. Not expensive, not bad, not very memorable. read more
