The food absolutely delivered. We tried the Op Boys Special sloppy joe and the Craw Mac Deluxe, and both were excellent. The jambalaya was another standout and easily something I'd order again. Service was on point, and they have a seriously impressive selection of drinks. There's plenty more on the menu I want to try, so I'll definitely be back.

This place is indeed such a jewel of a place. We were walking back from Union Station after a…read moreDodger game and as we were walking by I was curious to see if the restaurant was actually open. The exterior looks like it should be, but unfortunately many restaurants have been closing in this part of the city. Luckily, it was indeed open and the interior was VIBRANT! The design was colorful, filled with hand chalked signs of the menu, and everything, from the tables to the art on the walls, burst with personality. This is a place where minimalism doesn't exist and instead, it spends every opportunity to showcase who it is. Ordering is relatively simple. You walk over to the counter and tell them what you want. Everything is made to order so it'll take some time, but when it comes to refreshments you can see their large selection of different drinks in their glass case refrigerator on the side. My junior high years inspired me and I had to get an Arizona ice tea. It came in clutch as refreshment considering how hot the day was. On one wall there was a huge TV showing the Fifa World Cup games. It caught my eye and so we decided to dine in instead of taking it to go. Great choice by the way since hot food is best to eat right away. And what exactly did I get? Their po' boys of course! You have to keep it classic. We had the popcorn shrimp po' boy and it was fantastic. Meaty, tangy from the sauce, and with the right amount of green in their fluffy but structurally intact bread, I believe I finished this in five minutes cause it was so good. My hunger didn't dissipate quickly so I had to go back for round two. The Debris Fries caught my eyes. Fries smothered with their brown gravy and cheese, it was a delicious disaster and warmed my belly and fulfilled my appetite. I was one happy food belly dad. Being connected to a small store with neon lights highlighting some of the hot sauces and merchandise you can buy on one side while connected to the pub next door on the other side, The Little Jewel of New Orleans is one of those places you take good friends to when you want to show them a special place where the food is delicious, the vibes are immaculate, and the experience unforgettable. Whether you have to find an excuse to come out here or the restaurant is the excuse, make your way to The Little Jewel of New Orleans the next time you're around Chinatown. You won't regret it. Bring that appetite with you!

The outdoor patio feels like you accidentally wandered into a breezy corner of the French Quarter. Warm lights, casual seating, and that "kick back and stay awhile" energy. Ordering through the app and picking up at the window makes you feel like you're part of a secret club, the kind where the password is "extra napkins, please." * Chicken Po' Boy, WOW...This thing is stacked. Crispy chicken, tangy sauce, and bread that holds everything together like it's doing core workouts. It's messy in the best way, the kind of sandwich that demands respect and maybe a bib. * Fully Loaded Cajun Tots, These tots don't play around. They show up dressed to impress, cheese, toppings, flavor, the whole squad. It's basically a tiny potato block party, and you're invited. * Beignets, very delicious, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and dusted with enough powdered sugar to make you question your laundry choices. One bite and suddenly you're hearing jazz horns in the distance. Their coffee game....Dangerously good. My boogie coffee drink - latter came out smooth, sweet, and caffeinated enough to make me consider running around the block a few times. It's the kind of drink that makes you shimmy in your seat and say, "Yeah... life is good." This place nails the New Orleans vibe without trying too hard. Great food, fun energy, and a patio that makes you forget you're in LA traffic territory. Come hungry, come curious, and definitely come ready for powdered sugar on your shirt. Miguel C.

It's a small self served restaurant with a limited menu that changes, since not everything we saw on yelp was available. When we visited the options were crispy chicken/hot link sliders, different variations of tots and beignets. We went with the crispy chicken sliders and loaded Cajun tots and they were both very flavourful and delicious. The chicken was well seasoned and crispy paired with tangy pickled vegetables and a tasty pretzel bun. The combination of flavours packed a punch but we did wish for a thicker slice of chicken. The tater tots were very well seasoned too and the sauces were yummy, something acidic would be a nice addition to cut through the fatty goodness. When we asked for utensils they didn't have any forks so they gave us one spoon and one knife. We made it work. Definitely want to come back to try other things on their menu whenever they rotate it.

They had nice texture and a light brine taste. Then shifted to the fried green tomatoes which did not disappoint. They were perfectly crisp but not dry and had a fantastic sauce. Then came the red snapper cake Benedict which is usually crab, but they substituted snapper because they were out of the crab. We did not miss the crab as the snapper was delicious and the egg was perfectly poached. We finished the experience with the shrimp and grits. What a perfect ending to the great tasting food we have had so far. The grit was fabulous as was the shrimp and sauce. Our server Aries was great and honestly the entire staff was awesome.

In a strip mall so not an enormous place, but comfortable and clean.

Leanne took great care of us and helped us with the menu selection, portion sizes, spice levels and such. We were delighted with our seafood boil bag stuffed with clams, head on shrimp, corn and sausage. The beers were cold and we enjoyed every bite.

A female employee told us that they were only serving food to go because they were closing at 9:00 PM. I politely asked for her name, but she refused to provide it. We then asked her to call a manager or someone in charge so we could address the situation. A man came out and simply told us that the door says they close at 9:00 PM. If the restaurant closes at 9:00 PM, customers should be able to receive proper service before that time. We arrived almost an hour before closing and were still turned away from dining in. The food may be good, but the attitude and lack of customer service completely ruined our experience. It honestly felt like the employees simply wanted to leave early rather than serve their customers. This gives the restaurant a very bad image. The owner/management should be aware of how customers are being treated, because this kind of service will only make people leave and choose another restaurant. Very disappointing and extremely poor customer service.

This is the kind of place that's perfect for hanging out with friends rather than a date night. It's messy, fun, and meant to be shared. The biggest downside is the wait, which can get pretty long. That said, the food is absolutely worth it. If you want to save time, I highly recommend ordering ahead and picking it up to go. Personally, I prefer the shrimp over the crab. The shrimp is easier to eat and just as flavorful. And here's my pro tip: don't throw away the leftover sauce! Mix it with pasta when you get home, and you'll have another delicious meal waiting for you. Great food, great flavors, and definitely worth the wait. I'll be back again and again.
