The everything sauce is on the garlicky side and we got the (highest) level of spicy. It wasn't too spicy for me but my friend was dying. The seafood definitely tastes fresh. I prefer the snow legs here vs boiling crab. Free parking in small lot.

Ever since I suffered through two different bouts of food poisoning from The Boiling Crab, I've…read morebeen really shy about trying cajun/creole seafood boils. I was craving it last night and decided to take a chance. I ordered 1/2 pound of shrimp with the heads on, 1/2 pound of clams, 2 nobs of sweet corn and 3 pieces of red potatoes. I specifically asked for just spicy and no butter (to see if they were paying attention). I got exactly what I asked for and delivery was quick. Luckily, I have plastic gloves at home because it looked wonderfully messy. The spice level was definitely on pointe; very Asian level spicy (which is what I prefer). The only problem I had was that the shrimp are not deveined and/or left in clean water in order to empty their digestive tract. Kind of a bit unappetizing; I can put up with some but there was just too much and the shrimp was kind of mushy. It's sad because shrimp is my favorite. I took a picture of what I'm talking about. I hope they improve on this.

Best $100.00 lunch I've had in a while. Worth every bite! Oysters fresh. Lightly sweet, paired well with cocktail and chimichurri sauce. Both cocktails were light on the palate with enough of a hit, not too sugary. Paired well with Oysters. The House Pan Roast. Without question I'd recommend to anyone who's visiting here the first time. I was originally going to settle for some market price lobster pasta but decided since everyone posted the House Pan Roast Steam the most might as well. Great choice regardless. Bartender Manager very professional. You feel taken care of. Ambiance without question excellent dine in atmosphere, very modern decor.

Fish and chips were great; fries were herbed and well seasoned; calamari was crazy good. Clam chowder was remarkably delicious - I'm from New England so I'm picky about my chowder, especially if it's not "authentic" - but this chowder with the Cajun twist was really something else - a definite must try. Bread pudding (the original with the berry compote) is a must have, so be sure to leave room Also, our server Jenny is a superhero - she was the only one there and held it down all by herself during a busy Friday lunch service; she was genuinely friendly, highly attentive and gave great suggestions on what to order 10 stars.

Servers here are always quick and polite. Bathroom is kind of small considering it's a restaurant that is literally always packed. If I could make one recommendation, this place NEEDS outside heaters. When I have ate outside here you feel the wind and if it's cold outside it makes for a brutal experience not faint for the weak! I'm sure the propane for the heaters wouldn't hurt the budget too bad and it'll possibly help with wait times. Most people prefer to eat inside leaving the patio empty later in the nights due to the weather. Just advice. Join the waitlist on yelp to reduce waiting in person!

The Little Jewel of New Orleans is our favorite place for authentic Cajun and Creole cuisine…read more Being so far from home we don't get to enjoy it as often as we would like. Luckily, while out in LA in close proximity to Chinatown, the husband was reminded of Little Jewel. There was no question where we were headed next. We were warmly greeted as soon as we walked in and handed some menus. We were told to take our time, which was needed since everything sounded so good and the husband kept changing his mind on what to order. We finally settled on the Spicy Creole Jambalaya, Craw Mac Deluxe and The Crabster. It all came out hot, fresh and so satisfyingly delicious! The spice level was perfect. Portions were generous. We had initially planned on having beignets but did not have any more room -- even the dessert pocket was full! The atmosphere is very relaxed. They have several tables in the main dining area and the bar section. Orders are placed and picked up at the front counter. Everyone is super friendly. Parking can get a tricky in Chinatown. There are several flat rate lots if you're planning on spending some time. Metered parking is best for short term visits if you can find it -- we paid $4.30 for an hour.

The bags come with minimal sauce and they charge 5$ extra for extra sauce.
