    Garlic Noodle & Chicken wings
    Austin Y.

    I tried calling in to place a pickup order... and after nine calls with no answer, I gave up. Decided to DoorDash it for pickup instead. Forty-five minutes later, I roll in, and there's the lady just standing there. At that point, I couldn't help but wonder: if you were free enough to stare into space, could you maybe have answered the phone? Anyway, I grab my order and head home. The garlic noodles? Barely any garlic flavor, and the noodles were stuck together like they were holding on for dear life. I ordered one mild and one spicy -- except they both tasted the same: SPICY AS H*LL. And this is coming from someone with a high spice tolerance. The shrimp? Way too soft, almost mushy. And some of the clams came with just the shell -- like a cruel little seafood prank. But the chicken wings hit. Austin Yee

    Sweet Potato Fries

    The garlic butter shrimp with corn and sausage is the usual go to order consisting of large shrimps. The current price for one pound of shrimp or clams is $23. The basil clams were surprisingly good combination. Clams had lots of pieces in there and there wasn't any loose pieces. French fries and sweet potatoes fries are a must buy. The Cajun seasoning is better on the chicken wings than the fries. If you're not a fan of seafood, there is garlic noodles and Cajun fried rice with diced Louisiana hot links. Garlic bread is made with fresh bread, and there is a generous amount of garlic to dip into your sauce. They provide gloves and buckets to put your shells. Staff was attentive to our needs asking how we liked the food or any additions to our current course. They have a couple big tables for parties of 6 or more. This would be a good place to have dinner and watch the game on their TV. Tip: order the Thai tea. the owner makes it from loose leaf instead of the powder for a more fragrant tea flavor.

    Shrimp with combo sauce.

    Boiling Crab (BC) is still my favorite but when I don't feel like driving to the South Bay, I'll come here. I'm not a fan of their combo sauce. I was hoping for something like BC's whole shabang sauce but it had more spices. Partners family loves it though. I got the garlic butter and it was good though I'd like more garlic in it. Cajun fries are decent but won't order again. Garlic noodles are good and I prefer them over Thanh Long.

    Seafood Combo B
    Angel K.

    Overall, it's really hard to find a seafood boil in SF; most places are in Easy Bay or South Bay. However, this one definitely helps fight the cravings! Went here to celebrate my birthday dinner on a weekday night. We went an hour and a half before closing, and the restaurant was empty, except for the staff. We ordered the: - Seafood Combo B (1/2lb Shrimp, 1/2lb Clam, 1/2lb Mussel, 1/2 Dungeness Crab Legs) + non-spicy - Gumbo Food was pretty good and fast! It isn't my favorite cajun place, but it definitely helped curb the craving when we didn't want to drive out to another city to eat. I DEFINITELY ate that entire boil on my own and did not hesitate to because it was so tasty and had a good ratio of seafood. I would rate it at 3.5/5 for taste, how quickly the food was prepared for us, and how nice the staff was. The waitress kindly provided us: a table with paper lining on top, gloves, and a bucket to put the seafood shells in. For the restaurant, it was fairly small with a TV playing soccer. No other patrons but me and my friend, but it wasn't awkward at all; it felt very nice to have a quieter space to eat. TLDR; I would go here if you don't want to drive out to other cities and just want to curb the craving. However, if you're looking to impress your friends for BEST tasting seafood, I would drive to Boiling Crab or even further: Crab N Spice.

    I love seafood boil and Cajun House is one of my go to in the Bay Area. Whenever I go, I get the garlic noodles, mixed vegetables (sautéed in garlic) and one of the combos depending on what I'm in the mood for. The sauce I usually get is the House Cajun and Garlic Butter (medium spice). Such a GOOOOOOOD combination! All of the staff are always so welcoming, friendly, and helpful!

    First time trying seafood boil, and I love it. The sauce is very good, especially with rice. We ordered combo A for 2 people. I liked the clams the most then mussels then the shrimp. The shrimp didn't soak up the sauce as well as the others. The corn was delicious too, especially with the sauce. My friend liked the sausages too. The cajun fries were addicting!

    I love Cajun house. Anytime I have a craving for Cajun food and crawfish, I come here. Ben and Wendy are amazing and have great sauces. Typically come here for crawfish, but when it's not in season, I come for crab, clams, and shrimp. Always order the gumbo and broccolini or cauliflower. Always chooses house Cajun. Place is small with only a few workers. So be patient. And make reservations if you can.

    This place is top notch when it comes to food and service. Ben and Wendy were amazing. We even had them take shots with us, not too many since there were working and we were their last customers of the night. We brought a cake and gave it to Wendy to surprise our friend for her birthday, wendy was funny because she actually told the birthday girl about the cake when we were discussing the menu. Now for the food. The garlic noodles, were perfect. Al dente, the flavor so amazing and the garlic and butter well balanced. The mussels in fresh basil surprised me since I didn't think it would be one of my favorites of the night. We ordered lemon pepper chicken wings, who does that at a Cajun restaurant?! We do! It was better than some wing places that I have been, the only caveat is that I wished we asked for extra crispy. The two crabs we ordered had the "butter" inside, which was so silky smooth, unfortunately I had to share with others. The shrimps were not over cooked and were not chewy but tender just the way I like them. We also had oysters that were fresh and had a slight salty flavor. My mouth is watering just thinking of this dinner. Can't wait to go back with good friends.

    Crawfish with sausage

    I LOVE Cajun House! Everytime I have had it, the meal was bursting with flavor, and the portion size was incredibly generous-- you definitely get your bang for your buck. I have ordered here three times through Uber eats, after the first time I got it I ordered it again the next day because it was SOOOOOO good. The third time I had it was because my boyfriend was visiting town and I HAD TO HAVE HIM TRY IT. So far I have had their crawfish boil and seafood combo A with their house Cajun sauce. BOTH SOOO AMAZING!! Not overcooked, delicious sauce, the seafood was juicy, and it came to my house still hot! I have yet to actually go to the restaurant because I've been super busy with school, but the interaction I have had with the restaurant when it came to asking questions through the Uber eats app or phone call has always been great. They are sweet people and I love supporting a small family business I am also somewhat new to SF, I have been here for about 8 months now, and this is definitely in my top five favorite places to eat. Overall 1000000/10 stars and I definitely recommend going here for an AMAZING seafood boil.

    I was craving seafood boil and could not justify driving an hour down to SJ and waiting in a…read moremassive line to get it, so I decided to try out Cajun Bowl again. I used the promotion on the website to get 2 free pounds of shrimp as well as the #7 combo (shrimp, mussels, crawfish). I got the combo in the super ultimate sauce. The flavor of the sauce was pretty good, and you get a lot of it in the bag. It was interesting because it had a bit of a tomato-y scent to it, almost like creamy spaghetti sauce, but it also reminded me of instant ramen flavoring (lol)?? I like that the sauce didn't taste as salty or as unhealthy as Boiling Crab's sauce, which has a ton of butter and leaves me chugging water afterwards. As for the seafood itself, the shrimp was good but a bit overcooked. My favorite part of shrimp is eating the heads, but these heads did not taste very good or fresh. Similarly, I got a few mussels that were closed which means they were dead before cooking and have to be tossed. I also wish they had a combo that was shrimp + mussels + clams because I don't really like crawfish. I do like that the combo comes with some sides, but the sausage pieces should definitely be bigger than some skinny slices. Overall taste of the bag was fine, and it was piping hot so seems like it was really freshly cooked when I picked up. Cajun Bowl hit the spot and I'm glad I have this option close to home!

The service was alright however the servers kept leaving us every few minutes and it took forever for them to take our order. We got the shrimp mac and cheese (spicy) and the 1lb of snow crab legs (mild) with the super ultimate sauce with an addition of sausage and broccoli. The shrimp mac and cheese was very delicious and the crab legs were large and meaty. While pretty good, the crab was a bit overcooked and the sauce we had gotten lacked a lot of flavour and was thick and pasty rather than seasoned well. The sausage was very good though. Overall the experience was quite nice but lacking in some departments.

Both were just so tasty and seasoned just right. They gave us a habanero based hot sauce to go with the chicken, but the chicken was so juicy and crispy on the outside and just so flavorful that it didn't need anything extra to make it better. We devoured every single one of our dish. We loved it so much, we're already thinking of making a special trip to Portrero Hill just to eat another meal here.
