Always love this place, don't know why their ratings are so low. My babe got me a renter and did all the leg work. To treat her, I took her to this spot since she saw it on tv in the morning and was craving for seafood boil. We got the 6 lb for the 2 of us, it's hella worth it. The seafood was really fresh, and the mix sauce in spicy was perfect. So good. We probably finished about 1/2 and my partner was about to face plant into the food. So we took the rest home. The service was amazing, the servers offered to open up the crab and lobster and they are pros. Didn't waste any parts and made it easier for us to enjoy. The ambience was loud but chill. We got a local lady sitting next to us and she naturally was loud. No complaints Caz we too busy mopping the seafood. read more

We are on a mission.... To try some new spots our daughter loves. She just graduated from HPU this week getting her Bachelor's in Psychology. And she wants to make sure we try all the spots she has eaten at the last three years Well, I have to say, the chef did his thing in that kitchen. As a chef myself I take my hat off to you sir! Job well down! Not many can handle the "Kajun" flavors. This was a good spot for the first stop this week! All I can say is there shrimp, mussels, catfish, crabs, rice etc,.etc. etc. it was all good! We will be back if she decides to stay for her Masters program. Ooooh one last thing! The fried Oreos were on beast mode! one order had four and ice cream with whipped cream! BOOM if you're on a diet don't even think about it! Certainly on point! Pray, Eat and Love because life is way too short! M&M read more

So good. We usually get the snow crab boil, and it's heavenly, but I never finish, and we wanted to try the catfish, which turned out to be amazing. The staff is friendly and helpful. We have never had to wait longer than 5 minutes to be seated. One of my favorite places to get a seafood boil. read more

I was watching a TV show when they showed a seafood boil, and that instantly triggered a craving...next thing I knew, I wanted Kickin Kajun. Of course, I couldn't just think about myself, so I ran it by my partner and he was on board. When we got there, we originally planned to order the combo for two, but we decided to go big or go home and got the platter that serves 3-4 people. Everything was amazing. I tried to save carbs for last, but the rice soaked in the Dungeness crab sauce really hit the spot. I almost tapped out lol, my head nearly fell onto the table...so we boxed the rest up and I'll be enjoying it all over again tomorrow. Great deal, amazing food, and top-tier service. Best staff ever! ;) read more

Called in to make a reservation on a Friday night for an hour later, they told us to just walk in because there are plenty of tables available. By the time we got there, it was packed and we had to wait for a table. We put our name on the waiting list while another couple just got to walk in while my party and I were waiting outside. Idk if they weren't paying attention but there were 3 servers. They finally realized we were waiting and opened the door for us and didnt acknowledge that we were waiting first. No apology, nothing. read more

Out of this world customer service! My husband and I enjoyed a dinner here to celebrate our 13th Wedding Anniversary. Many of the other patrons looked like they were also on dates or celebrating special occasions. There is a paid parking lot with an attendant adjacent to the restaurant or you can park in a metered stall along the street. We paid $1 to park in the lot during dinner. This restaurant is ADA accessible. We brought a gift card with us our sister had given to us as a gift for a birthday. Unfortunately when they scanned it to pay, it was not working. However the staff were so kind and went above and beyond calling the gift card company the next day to get to the bottom of why it was not working. We would like to thank all of the staff for your assistance, especially Jenny, and for making us feel like valued customers. In the end they found the problem and issued us a new gift card. We will be glad to return for our next special occasion and use the gift card then. read more

We made a reservation for our party of 4 on Thanksgiving Day for 6:30 PM. Once we got to the restaurant, we were able to be seated promptly and I was really glad that we called ahead because all of the tables were filled! We took a few minutes to decide what we wanted and our waiter was so friendly and answered any questions we had. After we placed our order, our food came out within 10 minutes. - Snow Crab Legs Combo (5/5): We got this combo with the Signature Kickin' Sauce with mild spice because I was worried it would be too spicy. However, it wasn't as spicy as I thought, so if we pay a visit next time, I'll opt in for the medium spice level. The snow crab legs were cooked to perfection and so were the shrimps, clams, and mussels. This combo also came with 2 rice bowls, 2 sausages, 2 pieces of corn, and 2 potatoes. - Garlic Fries (5/5): Very yummy and garlicky. The fries were nice and crispy. A perfect addition to our seafood combo. The price was really worth it for the amount of seafood we got; the combo was $77 and the fries were $10. Service was great and the waiters were very attentive, constantly coming by to check on us and to see if we needed more water. Thank you Kickin Kajun! read more

Amazing service and food and the bartending fabulous!!! 10 stars!!!! Atleast impeccable customer service and staff all so amazing!!!

This is our favorite seafood boil place. The service is always on point and the food comes out quick. We always order the snow crab combo, no mussels sub extra shrimp with their medium spice signature sauce. It always hits the spot. The restaurant has a ton of seating and they have a full bar. They can get really busy but you can check in to the waiting list on yelp so I highly recommend doing that. read more

Favorable, tasty, and fresh, especially the Kauai prawns($4.00 extra for upgrade). The combination package with king crab for two. A little disappointed with the size of the king crab legs. They were just a I little bigger than the size of snow crab legs; in fact, I have eaten snow crab legs that are larger. Overall, pretty good experience to enjoy uniquely flavored (with their special sauce) seafood combination. read more

Where to even start because five stars is not enough for this place. If I could give it 10 and above I definitely would! Came down for some seafood boil with my family to celebrate my birthday. The staff was extremely friendly and above and beyond. There was no wait time at all so they were able to fit all nine of us as soon as we got there. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything we all ever wanted, and more! We ordered the six pounder and added extra shrimp and a couple of other things. The staff was very attentive very helpful. The restaurant is very clean, very nice, very welcoming. We truly appreciated our server Nui he went above and beyond for us. We were struggling to open the crab and the lobster and he came right over and he opened it for us put on a little show so shout out to him. You deserve all the recognition. Thank you for everything that you've done and taking care of us for our experience and making it 10 times better! We will definitely be back! read more

Kickin Kajun - 6 Pounder - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The food is delicious, I go for the kickin kajun mild sauce, I've had medium, both very tasty. You can order a combo or Ala cart. I always get a pound of shrimp and a pound of crab legs. Only thing I wish they had was French bread to soak up the sauce. The service was good, they checked on us periodically, we were a little late and I had called and they saved my table no problem, the walls are covered in beautiful wall art. read more

Parking is easy with 1h free for validation. My friend and I came here on a weekday evening to order takeout. There's a specific takeout door they had, but we didn't see it and they still let us order inside. It only takes about 10mins for takeout to be ready. We ordered 2lbs of Louisiana Crawfish, 1lb of Local Maui Shrimp, Sweet Corn, Red Potato, and Sausages with Medium & Spicy Signature Kickin' Sauce. The sauce was so good and not overly salty! Medium tastes like mild! Corn is $3 for one piece, but it's so worth it cause it's so sweet and delicious! I do think it's funny that they would charge $1 for lemons for takeout, but if you dine in, it's free. read more

Love this place! The crab is always cooked well and the Cajun sauce is amazing. The service is also great. They're usually quick and always friendly. I think the only downside to this place is the parking. The lot is often full and you have to get lucky to get close street parking. But it's worth heading here! read more

Kickin Kajun - Snow crab - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Gave them another try as my experience 3yrs ago was lacking everything. Ordered thr 6pounder. While quality was better, I asked to substitute muscles for more clam. Got home and there was no extra clam, and no muscles. In fact, there were maybe 8 clamp shells total between the two bags. Wtf read more

I'm not sure if it's because we're always ordering take out so they think they can cheap us out but the amount/little skinny pieces of king crab they give us is ridiculous. For a king crab combo it's $130 and the pieces look like they're snow crab (obviously i know the difference-but that's how i can describe the pieces). Doesn't look anything big and meaty like it normally does. i know it's by weight but there's no way that portion's 1/2 a pound. I KNOW IT'S A DRIVE BUT DEFINITELY MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE KANEOHE OR KAMAKANA ALI'I LOCATION BECAUSE THEY DON'T SCIMP OUT ON SEAFOOD AND SAUCE. read more

Super delicious! The snow crab was phenomenal, and you could tell it's a popular choice among tourists visiting the island. The service was great, with the waiters and waitresses being very kind. A nice and clean ambiance with great lighting. Great experience. read more

Updating my review since it's been awhile. The sauce has most definitely improved. Da mix is it. Periodt. It's perfectly spicy, buttery, and slightly sweet. It's actually so good I dip EVERTHING in it. I even pour some into a bit of rice to eat with the mountains of seafood. We usually order one of the combos and then add on some more snow crab, a la cart, since we always want more crab legs...and shrimp. Definitely give Kickin Kajun a try if you're in the mood to pound some seafood, and get messy. read more

All I have to say is mhm.. how do you make seafood boil taste flavorless? I'm not sure if they aren't tossing it enough or them being really stingy with the sauce? But the seafood boil tasted bland and flavorless. We ordered the 6-pound seafood boil and it was not worth it. Also, considering that it tasted like nothing was even sadder. With that being said, I will not be coming back here. The service was okay, the food wasn't good, and honestly for the price of what you're getting kind of sucks. I'd suggest going to boiling crab!! read more

Kickin Kajun - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My favorite place for lunch. Unfortunately they don't have the lunch specials anymore. I would be willing to pay a few more dollars.

After debating on how far I wanted to drive I chose this location over the Kapolei. I pulled into parking lot which was small and didn't have a lot of spaces. Maybe 20 - 30 slots at the most. You will have to pay for parking unless you get your ticket validated at restaurant. There is no bathroom inside the restaurant it's only outside in the complex. The bathroom is the worst public bathroom I have seen. The restaurant does have a hand washing station inside so you do have to use the bathroom for that. The customer service was amazing. I saw the waitress cracking crabs for customers. Which I have never seen or even knew you could ask for that. The food came out it steaming hot and good. The Coca Cola was flat. There is no bar here so no cocktail drinks, just beer. I will not be returning due to the bathroom alone. read more

Cajun sauce is always my choice, I come here for dinner whenever I am craving for seafoods

My brother, dad, and I came here on a weeknight around 6pm. I haven't been to this area in years. The parking lot is very small and there's other shops in this area so the parking lot can get full very fast. This restaurant only validates for 1 hr and their eating time is 90 mins. I believe parking for one hour is free with validation from the restaurant. Unfortunately I don't know the cost of parking as we stayed under an hour. I'd recommend to plan in advance especially if you're coming on a weekend. Or even plan to come after you spend the day in Ala Moana, park there, and walk to this restaurant. It's not super far from Ala Moana and definitely doable. The food here is pretty good! We upgraded to the Kauai shrimp and added another pound of the Kauai shrimp. We got the snow crab legs combo for the three of us. It was definitely enough for the three of us. However, if all three people were extremely hungry, this may not have been enough. We did also order rice to eat with the seafood boil and garlic fries. The garlic fries were okay, I wouldn't order it again in the future. I don't think the fries and the garlic were combined well enough for me. The Kauai shrimp was very good, def don't regret the upgrade. It is an extra $25 as of 09/2024. The service was very quick and very friendly! They gave us recommendations and answered all of our questions. They do not have bathrooms inside the restaurant and it's only outside. It requires the key from the establishment that you dine at. I'm not sure who cleans or maintains it, but my brother said the bathrooms were disgusting. read more

Kickin Kajun - 6 POUNDER! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I haven't been here in years. The last time I was here they were still on Makaloa. This location is a huge upgrade, since that place on Makaloa was tiny. I remember their seafood being really fresh. Fast forward to today and the seafood is still really fresh. Granted, they no longer include crawfish in their combos. You have to order it separately. I love fresh live seafood. Frozen seafood is meh to me. I can totally taste the difference, but I'll take frozen if that's all there is. I usually get the whole lobster or whole Dungeness crab when I eat out. Those are usually alive and kicking before they're cooked. Obviously, the snow crab legs and king crab legs will be frozen. Tonight, I got the whole lobster combo with their mild signature kickin' sauce. The combo comes with 1/2 lb shrimp, 1/2 lb clams, 1/2 lb mussels, 2 corn, 2 potatoes, 2 sausage and rice. This was a lot of food and lasted me two meals. I got the whole combo to myself, since the hubby doesn't eat shellfish. The seafood came out piping hot, fresh, and delicious. The sauce was so good that I slathered it all over my rice and still had enough to dip my seafood in. The servers offer to crack your seafood for you if you're not familiar with how to do it. I grew up eating seafood, so I just cracked it myself. The hubby got the fried catfish basket with garlic fries. He said it was good, but he didn't let me sample, since that was all he was getting. We also ordered the fried Twinkies for dessert. That hit the spot. They served it with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. read more

Best Cajun seafood restaurant in Hawaii! Seafood is fresh and so flavorful. I like their mild original sauce.

Lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii... Spicy food isn't my thing. Haha! I'm super sensitive, but I want to try everything... Almost... It's challenging to eat with friends because they like spicy. I don't want to hold them back, so, I went alone to Kickin' Kajun. Located on Ke'eaumoku Street, I'd pass by this establishment often. It's right across from Walmart in the Sam Sung Plaza. It has validated parking and nice security guards that call me "auntie"... LOL! The server was so nice. I really thought that I wrote her name down. Shucks! Sorry! She really encouraged me to try their signature sauce. I wanted the Lunch Special - shrimps with the butter sauce. She suggested that I get the sauce on the side and I agreed. Gosh - she was right! The sauce was garlicy good! However, the Portuguese sausage was REALLY spicy and gave me gustatory rhinitis! I'm so glad that I was by myself because I was kinda crying! Good thing the rice and water helped ease my pain! I enjoyed the corn on the cob as I like corn in general. Well, I'm glad that I had this experience! I'm a better person! Hee hee! Thanks for the bib and gloves! The gloves helped me peel the shrimps without fear of stinky hands! read more

Kickin Kajun - 6 pounder - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Came out to Kickin Kajun on September 24, 2022 Saturday for dinner around 6pm (made RSVP in advanced And it was a plus) cause if not then we would have been waiting I'd say a good 30 mins to an 1hr (So YES Kickin Kajun does take RESERVATIONS) call in advanced it will save you on time (For sure). Okay let's talk PARKING PARKING PARKING, so KICKIN KAJUN is located in the SAMSUNG PLAZA on Keeamoku street, they have a PRIVATE parking lot that is shared with other business establishments so parking could be a challenge specially when we went around dinner time, also the downside about it is that they have a parking lot attendant when you enter the parking area but when we went the parking lot attendant was not even paying attention to the flow of cars rolling in and what not or monitoring the parking stalls, all stalls was full and lots of us customers had to leave cause their wasn't any parking available (Smh) also the parking lot attendant looked like he was HIGH on something man like very unusual facial expressions when talking like ohh-okay guy) so parking options would be street or there is a ROSS around the corner that has a parking structure. Aight let's talk about the FOOD FOOD FOOD. I was excited about eating here cause I haven't been here since they was at their originally location on Makaloa street which it was a was smaller Resturant. So we started off with the SAUSAGE & garlic fries with oyster basket (was a little disappointed on the sausage) was expecting a bigger size cut but ohh wells it was small slices of sausage it comes with 6pcs I believe. Then to the fried oysters with garlic fries basket (there okay the fries could've been better as in like crinkle cut fries or something IMO) then I believe the fried oysters it came with about 4 pieces it's about $17 for the fried oysters with garlic fries basket. (I was they had 1/2 shell oysters tho that would of been awesome (can someone put that on the menu please mahalo's in advanced). SHRIMP SHRIMP SHRIMP - We ordered the regular shrimp 1LB portion (2x) and the taste and flavor was good but as for the size of the shrimp it was so SMALL and it's $18.00 for a 1LB of shrimp (I suggest probably getting the Kauai shrimp). Also we ordered the 6 pounder seafood spread it consist of 1 Dungeness crab / sausage / clams / mussels / snow crab legs / potato / corn for $175.00 (I believe this is a deal to be shared with 3-4 people) so yups next time you go y'all should order this 6 pounder seafood spread FYI - This place use to be BYOB (beer) Way back long time ago but it ain't no more. It would be nice if it was still. SEATING SEATING - the seating set up is okay but it could get TIGHT in some areas so when passing thru you might have to say EXCUSE ME when getting and leaving your seat area.

I like Kickin Kajun and I am a regular at the Kapolei location. The food here was not on par and the service on the slower side.

They only validate for an hour. read more
