    Soft shell crab appetizer.  5/5
    Kimberly C.

    Got the soft shell crab appetizer to split among 4. It was very tasty. The seasoning was simple, it reminded me of salt & pepper shrimp. We also shared combo 1 and added 1lb of snow crab (two clusters). The House Cajun sauce was good, but heavy on garlic/"jarlic" and could have been saucier. Next time I'd ask for/order a side of extra sauce for dipping. The dish could have used more than 2 (halves) or corn on the cob. Everything in the boil tasted good! Some other highlights: 1) there's a shared parking lot to the side of the building as well as metered parking in the front. It was busy when I went, so I parked around the corner- for free. 2) I wasn't a fan of the ordering process. Before I get into why, I'd recommend browsing the menu ahead of time to determine what you want. That said, we had a reservation (on Valentine's Day) and the place was understandably busy. There wasn't a hostess station so we headed to the register to check-in. That's where we learned that before being seated, we'd have to first order (and pay). With how extensive the menu was, and crowded the immediate area was- the process felt a bit chaotic and overwhelming. 3) The space is cute. A good amount of tables, and simple but cute decor. After being seated, staff stopped by at different points with bibs, gloves, and disposable plates/utensils. 4) Food took a long time to come out, but I won't ding them because again... it was busy. However, having to remind and re-remind staff of missing items (rice, garlic bread) did leave an unfavorable impression. My hope is things are more buttoned-up on an average day. That said, while I'm giving grace for the cons I still rate it as okay. I'd be down for giving it another shot during a non-peak period to see if the experience is better or the same.

    Special Meal 3 with King Cajun Sauce (all the seasonings)
    Lizzie B.

    Went to King Cajun for my birthday dinner because I was craving seafood. It did not disappoint! We ordered Special Meal 3 with King Cajun sauce (all seasonings) at the order counter and we each got a beverage with it - I believe it was only cans or a water bottle. They don't serve alcohol and while you order at the counter, the servers did a good job refilling our waters. There's a small parking lot on the west side of the block that had plenty of parking for the businesses. Make sure to wear something you're comfortable getting messy cause I definitely walked away with a butter-stained sweatshirt!

    Had a really good experience at King Cajun today! The food is always great. We got a variety of things with shrimp and squid boil along with the fried soft crab platter. All the food was delicious and the wait staff was also helpful. The restaurant is a little cramped, but it's OK. The decorations inside give a crabshack feel, I love the giant shark! Definitely recommend trying this place out.

    My friends took me here for a late birthday dinner and the place did not disappoint. All of this amazing food fed three grown adults (two full grown hungry men). The service was efficient and friendly, always topping our waters off and making sure each table was good. All of food was very yummy and flavorful. The catfish and wing basket was coated and fried to perfection, same thing goes with the fried oysters. The vibe inside the restaurant was cute and spacious allowing you to eat in peace but also close enough to everything! 100/10 would highly recommend.

    combo 2 and Bun dau!

    Amazing foods. Service was very efficient while they were super busy! The place is very clean. I would definitely come back here again!

    Combo 2
    Yvette S.

    Had dinner here with family while visiting from out of state. It was my first time trying sea food boil and I made sure to add this place to our list based on the reviews and tantalizing photos. We were not disappointed! Great service,clean and organized space, and everything we needed such as napkins and trash cans were available at our table. We ordered the lobster fries and combo number 2 for the table and it was more than enough to feed 5 people! We even tool left overs home. The fries were crispy hot and delicious with the lobster chunks and garlic sauce makes me hungry remembering them. The seafood was flavourful and so delicious! I especially enjoyed the mussels,corn, and having a side of rice to soak up all the saucy goodness.

    It was that good

    Best place to get seafood in Saint Paul people are nice. The service is fast seafood, always fresh and always good. and I got nice music to set up mood real nice ambience

    My boyfriend and I decided to stop here before an event we had. I love seafood boil and we've been trying new places every time we go! King Cajun has a nice parking lot so you don't have to find any kind of street parking! The inside of the restaurant feels clean and bright and has some goofy decorations that fit the vibe perfectly. You order at the counter or at your table i believe. It is a seat yourself place. The lady who helped us out when ordering was very kind and ready to answer any questions. We got shrimp, mussels, snow crab, and sausage. Every pound of seafood comes with a potato and corn. We ended up with quite a bit. We chose the house mix (all of the options mixed) and medium heat. Everything was DELICIOUS! Nothing tasted fishy, everything was well cooked, it was well seasoned and perfect spice for what we wanted. It was A LOT of food. They give u scissors to cut the crab, a bucket on the table (which i saw a review complaining about this , even though it is at every seafood boil place), gloves, and bibs. My only slightly negative thing i have to say is that it was definitely a little more pricey than other places we have gone and we always get the same combo of things. The sausage seemed a bit more expensive and to get extra sauce was a little steep. Also, their cajun fries were good but i felt as if they could've been more seasoned for being cajun fries. Overall, I would definitely come here again! I love that you can get full crabs unlike other places. I would recommend this place to others

    Lobster fries

    There was parking at the restaurant. It was our first time and there was a sign to order at the front but our server came to us and said we could sit and order. We ended up ordering the combo and lobster fries with the king Cajun sauce in spicy. We had leftovers to reheat and eat at home so the serving was plentiful.

    Always drove by this place and finally a chance to try it out. It is metered street parking. The restaurant is pretty much self-serve everything. You order first at the register then they will seat you. When we got there, there was a line and waitlist. We only had to wait about 15 minutes on a Saturday, which wasn't bad. After ordering, it took about 15-20 minutes until our food came out. They have a self-serve table at the entrance. Here you can find water, sauces, bibs, plates, napkins, utensils, and togo boxes. Most tables do have a sauces rack. People who order Togo can grab everything they need here. They do have gloves but the waiter has to bring it. They do not have any crab crackers here but they give u a scissors to cut the claws if needed. Since it was our first time here we decided to share. They do have individual and combo platters. We went with individuals. For every 1 Lb or seafood, it does come with 1 corn and 1 potato. The sauce for the seafood is typical of any seafood broil. Seafood broil- we ordered 1 lb of head of shrimp and 1 lbs of crawfish. This was cooked in the house mixed (everything thing in it) at mild spicy. We ordered 2 clusters of snow crab legs in house sauce with medium spicy. The spicy level was not really spicy for mild or medium. Thought bf would not be able to tolerate medium so we got medium for 1 bag but it wasn't bad. Some places medium can be really spicy. They do have regular hot sauce on the side to dip if needed. 3.5/5 I really like that this place leave the seafood in a bag which I prefer over in a plate like some other places. I feel like it keeps the flavor in. However, I don't like that there was not enough sauce in the bag. I wish they really drenched the bag. So it was a little disappointing. Got an order of Cajun fries. I've have a fair share of Cajun fries from seafood broil and this definitely did not taste like the typical Cajun fries. Nothing about it was Cajun. Tasted like fries with some seasoning on it. It was crunchy and sauce was good. 2/5. Overall not a wow experience for me. The seafood was normal. Nothing really special. Sauce was ok. Probably had better sauces at our places. Everyone was nice and helpful here. May come back Tuesday-Thursday to try their combo platter special. Seems like a great deal though!

    First time checking out Pa'l Mar in St. Paul and it did not disappoint. The vibe had that lowkey…read more"this food bout to be fire" energy , and it was exactly that. Even though I came early in the afternoon and the place wasn't packed yet, the atmosphere was still welcoming, with a "come as you are" kinda feel. The staff? Super friendly and laid-back. You could tell they love what they do, and it makes all the difference. I ordered a large margarita and listen, it was hitting! Strong, fresh, flavorful.. one large is truly all you need. For food, I went with the chimichangas, and they were everything. Crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside 10/10, no notes. Definitely planning to come back, maybe during a livelier hour to see it in full swing. But even on a quiet afternoon, this place left a solid impression. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

    I was actually really excited this place was close to my house. The food was absolutely delicious…read more!! The shrimp cocktail was full of shrimp and all the seafood was very fresh . The service was so quick even though they were busy. The restaurant is so cute and colorful and it's very clean and there's easy parking outside . I had also ordered a beef tip , chimichanga meal, and shrimp quesadilla to go and that was also really good . Additionally, the amount of food that you get is a lot and their prices are very decent. If you're wanting Mexican food and want a local spot that is worth your time and money. This is definitely a place you should check out.

Just note that they require a credit card to hold reservations made online. For drinks, I ordered the Papelon, which is their cane sugar drink. I remember really loving this the first time I had it. This time it was a little more tart and less sweet than I remembered, with a deep maple-y, tamarind flavor. Definitely recommend trying it. We also got a pitcher of the red sangria, which was really good. For apps, I went with the Trio de Arepitas and seafood empanadas. The trio came with shredded beef, reina pepiada (creamy chicken), and beans with plantains. Overall, it was a good way to try a few different flavors. The arepas were surprisingly filling because of the bread. The veggie linguini El Avila was also really good, with lots of fresh, crunchy vegetables. The seafood empanada was my favorite! It had a crunchy, deep purple shell with a flavorful seafood filling, and the creamy sauce was so good. Overall, I think Crasqui is worth trying, especially if you like trying different flavors and dishes. The apps are a little smaller for sharing, and the mains are pretty pricey in my opinion.
