    Super delicious and it never disappoints! We stopped by on Father's Day and had an amazing feast. The crab, shrimp, garlic noodles, and fries were all incredibly good. Sharing is caring, and there was definitely plenty of food for everyone. They also have some great beers, the service was excellent, and the restaurant was super clean. Everything came out fresh and flavorful, making it another memorable visit. This is easily my favorite seafood place, and I'll definitely keep coming back!

    Tried Cajun Crack'n and overall it was a good experience. The seafood was fresh, and the seasoning had a great kick with just the right amount of spice. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was how thick the sauce was--it was a little heavier than I personally prefer. Aside from that, the flavors were really good, the portions were satisfying, and I'd definitely come back to give it another try.

    Great place to come for happy hour oysters. Oysters are usually $1.5 during happy hour but on Tuesday and Wednesdays they offer $1 house oysters (pacific oysters) and $2 Kumamoto oysters

    Can't wait :P

    After going to several places, I can guarantee you that this is the best boiled you'll have for your buck! Honestly, the space is so welcoming, and the staff are some of them best! Shout out to Cherlene for making my first impression of this place the best to come to again with my friends! Not only was she's super helpful and informative with everything on the menu, but definitely knew what her favorites are ! Highly recommend this place for the atmosphere and amazing staff! Everything to feed two people plus leftovers with B almost $100 with drinks and lots of refills ! Will come again!

    We ordered takeout from Cajun Crack'n and it continues to be a go-to for us. Their seafood boil is always flavorful and satisfying, and the garlic noodles are a must every time. We usually take it home so we can really enjoy it comfortably, eating with our hands and pairing it with some home-cooked rice. The rice soaks up all that saucy goodness, which honestly makes it even better. Consistently good food and perfect for a laid-back, hands-on meal at home.

    My dad's favorite restaurant, he's convinced this is the best seafood boil in the bay. The interior feels like a ship with the wooden framing and jack sparrow statue welcoming you. Always a fun trip. The weekday lunch special is pretty good (I believe it's $12 for 1 lb of shrimp and a sausage corn and potato), but my dad loves crawfish so I don't often go for that. Crawfish prices depends on if it's fresh or frozen (fresh is more expensive). The spiciness of the house sauce depends on who is cooking it that day. My server this time told us that if you can handle 2x Buldak, you could handle spicy, but there's days that spicy is spicy spicy! Check with the server before ordering because your mileage may vary. The server was also really on top of getting us straws, wipes, napkins, gloves, etc. I'm a sucker for the deep fried and the soft shell crab and oysters here are great. I prefer the garlic fries (more flavorful) to the Cajun fries (more crunchy) personally. I need greens with every meal to lie to myself that I'm healthy so I ordered the salad. I like the veggies used but it's more sauce than I would like, I'd order sauce on the side next time!

    Special 2-dungeness crab, 1/2 lb clams, deveined headless shrimp in house special sauce spicy

    I stopped by on a weekday for lunch. The place was not busy. They had good lunch specials. But I went for a Special 2-dungeness crab, 1/2 lb clams, deveined headless shrimp in house special sauce spicy. That was delicious. The sauce had a nice spice kick without being too spicy. Seafood was all fresh. Seafood boil is a messy food. They give apron, glove and scented tissues to take care of it. Still it gets messy especially because we need to crack open the crab legs. And it took me 90 minutes to finish my lunch.

    Delicious seafood , especially the fresh shrimp and crab . Everything tastes amazing. A whole bag of seafood boil paired with corn and sausage goes perfectly together. The garlic noodles are also very tasty, though the garlic flavor is a bit too strong. Haha! Besides the fries and onion rings, I highly recommend their fried calamari. It has a great texture and isn't tough at all. Highly recommended, but try to avoid coming during peak hours because there will be a bit of a wait. 好吃的海鮮,尤其是新鮮的蝦子和螃蟹,味道好吃,一整袋子的手抓海鮮搭配玉米和香腸非常的對味,香蒜拌麵也非常的好吃,不過蒜頭味太重了。哈!另外除了薯條和洋蔥圈以外,我最推崇的是他們家的炸魷魚,非常有口感也不會硬。強烈推薦給各位,但是儘量別在飯點來,排隊會需要一點時間。

    The seafood boil here is good but nothing stand out. Quality sauce and freshness of the seafood are all you need to have a good boil and the House Special sauce was slightly below average but the freshness of the seafood was fine. After all the glowing reviews I've heard about this place I did expect more, but overall I enjoyed my meal here. Pros - Good service and food came out quickly - Plenty of easy parking - Large restaurant, came on a Sunday afternoon and there was plenty of seats - Their happy hour deals look like a great deal Cons - I've had many different house special sauces in the area and this one lands slightly below middle of the pack. It was very one note and is pretty much what you would expect.

    Cajun seafood, messy hands, and why spicy is the right choice If you're looking for Cajun seafood boil in Milpitas or the South Bay, this place delivers the kind of experience people expect: big room, lively energy, seafood bags on the table, and absolutely no attempt at elegance. Which is exactly how a seafood boil should be. The dining room is large and open, with rope-wrapped columns, nautical décor, and big circular lights overhead. It works well for groups, but if you're by yourself it's easy to grab a seat at the bar and settle in with a seafood bag. Beer helps. The seafood boil The main attraction here is the Cajun seafood boil bag. Shrimp, crab legs, crawfish, sausage - all tossed in garlic butter and Cajun seasoning. When the bag opens, the smell hits first: garlic, spice, warm seafood sweetness, and butter coating everything. This isn't delicate food. You peel shrimp. Crack crab shells. Sauce gets everywhere. That's the whole point. Seafood boils are meant to be messy. Spice level: go hot For the sauce, I always choose spicy - the hotter the better. Cajun seasoning really comes alive with heat. When the spice level goes up, the shrimp tastes sweeter, the crab richer, and the garlic butter carries more depth. It isn't just heat for the sake of heat. The spice actually amplifies the seafood flavor. If you like Cajun food the way it's supposed to taste, don't be shy about ordering it spicy. Fried catfish: clean, soft, and no muddy flavor The fried catfish here is worth ordering. Catfish can easily pick up that muddy, fishy taste if it's not handled properly. A lot of places struggle with that. This one doesn't. The fish comes out golden and crisp outside, soft and tender inside, with clean flavor and no off smell. The inside stays moist and delicate, almost buttery. Just good fried fish. Shrimp po'boy The shrimp po'boy sandwich is another solid choice. Large shrimp, fried properly so the outside stays crisp while the inside remains juicy and tender. No rubbery texture. The bread is soft with a light toast, holding together shrimp, lettuce, and tomato in the classic Louisiana combination. You get three textures in every bite: crispy shrimp soft bread fresh vegetables Simple and satisfying. The vibe This place isn't trying to be refined seafood dining. It's about energy. Friends sharing a seafood bag. Beer on the table. Garlic butter on your hands. Paper towels disappearing quickly. That's exactly the environment Cajun seafood belongs in. Dr. C note A proper seafood boil should leave evidence. Shells on the table. Seasoning on your fingers. And a cold beer nearby to handle the spice. If that happens, the system is working.

    This place is pretty good, I love that they offer the shrimp deveined and head off as it saves some work for me. I always make sure to get extra sauce on the side as I like to dunk my shrimp in it. Medium spice is enjoyable but not spicy enough in my preference for it to be medium. Food is always yummy, hot, and comes out pretty quick even when it's busy. The entire staff is great and friendly. It's usually pretty quiet, which I enjoy. If you visit on a weekend after 5 be ready for a lengthy wait! Only complaint is the bathrooms as they could use some love. There's a foul smell in the hallway leading to the restroom but not the restroom itself..?. It's usually unkept, the soap dispenser is broken, toilet paper was stacked on top of one another, and no paper towels... avoid it if you can.

    This is in the spacious restaurant where Black Angie used to be in Milpitas. I got a seafood boil for $46 that included crab legs, mussels, clams, 1 corn, small piece of sausage and potatoes. It was very buttery that I spilled some on myself but not their fault I should have worn the bib. There's also free refills on soda in a to-go cup. The group near me got alcoholic drinks that looked good. The service was very fast and friendly!

    Combo 3 with four pounds of seafood.
    Doug L.

    We took a drive out to Milpitas to give this Cajun spot a try. Inside was cavernous with lots of seating along with a Pirates of the Caribbean (aka Captain Jack Sparrow statues) and nautical theme. There was a couple staff at the front and one gave a quick overview since we were ordering to go. Menu featured a variety of options including raw oyster, appetizers, fried foods, po'or boys and sliders, and combo boils. It took a bit over 20 minutes to deliver our order and they threw in some useful plastic gloves, bibs along with forks, paper trays and some sauces. We went with the large combo (posted on the entrance but not in the menu) that came with four pounds of seafood (whole shrimp, mussels and crawfish), corn, potatoes and sausages. Headless and deveined shrimp were extra charge if one so opted. The house special sauce had good flavors and the seafood large, meaty and not overcooked. The fried choices we ordered were a mixed bag. The calamari was disappointing with a very dry, bread like coating and a limpy consistency. Not the texture we expected. The sweet potato fries were cold by the time we got home so not the best. The onion rings was the only fried dish that stayed crisp and crunchy. The last side was the garlic noodle and it was balanced with lots of chopped garlic and not oily like we've had as other similar restaurants. Definitely . Overall double bagging of the boil kept things warm and without leaks. The paper packaging was flimsy and didn't do such a great job keeping the contents warm and needs improvement. The boil, noodles and onion rings pulled the rating up to a 4 star.

Same quality but Bigger portions and better dashi, for about the same price? Sign me up. My girlfriend and I skated the potato salad appetizer - a delicious DIY experience that let you control the texture of your potato salad (though I feel I overmixed), and two take bowls which were MASSIVE - easily could have shared. The seafood was fresh, the portions generous, and maybe it's because I have a more Americanized palate, but the mixed seafood dashi was richer and paired much better than a mild seafood chazuke. Plus it came with shiso leaves and tempura crunchies so it was really no comparison. Overall this was a delicious meal that left me extremely full, unlike other seafood bowls that leave you just a little too hungry. Given the tastiness of their dashi, I'll def be back to try their udon. Also, as an added bonus, my dogs love the little dashi fish topper on their food they sell separately at the front. Love! --- Sweet: amazing dashi broth, delicious seafood bowls. Rare instance of a dinner living up to the hype Bitter: wish they had mini versions of their more deluxe bowls!!

The banchan variety is actually really good, which is a highlight for me, though the kimchi isn't my favorite. My personal go-tos are the Korean jelly (muk muchim), broccoli, tomato, and macaroni salad. I'd honestly come back just for the banchan spread. That said, for the price, the main dishes are just okay. One big plus: they serve purple rice, which I always appreciate. Service has been very hit or miss. Sometimes they're friendly and accommodating, but my last visit really threw me off. We asked for a refill on the muk muchim, and our server said they were "sold out"... but then the table next to us was immediately served it. I'd honestly rather they just say no than give an excuse like that.. it left a bad impression and made the experience feel off. A few thoughts on the dishes: * Budae Jjigae - A bit bland for my taste, heavy on kimchi and light on meats like spam, sausage, and bacon. * Galbitang - Light yet flavorful, with 3 large rib bones that had a good amount of meat. Comes with glass noodles, rice cakes, and thin egg strips * Japchae - Not complimentary here (you have to order it), but it's actually pretty good. * Seafood tofu soup - Just okay, nothing too memorable. * Galbi - Flavorful and reliable--can't go wrong, especially with purple rice. * Mul Naengmyeon - Refreshing and well done. * Seafood pancake - Crispy, not overly oily, and packed with seafood and green onions. * Bibimbap - Loved the crispy rice at the bottom, though the beef portion was a bit small. * Yukgaejang - Decent, but not as rich or flavorful as other spots. Overall, I'd say this place shines most in its banchan variety and comfortable dining space, but the inconsistency in both food and service makes it a bit harder to fully recommend
