I've been here twice so far and I love this place. I wish it were closer to my home. The food is great, the service is excellent and the ambiance is a good vibe as well. I like to order the crab boil with shrimp. Their fries and shrimp tacos are also really good. I also ordered the noodles to put in my crab boil and it was just a great addition. I also love their soju shots for 1 dollar. My favorite flavorsThe best ones peach and plum in my opinion, but I always get one of each flavor each time. I definitely recommend this place. read more

My go to shrimp boil spot. They have a great Happy Hour special. 2lbs of shrimp for $20 11:30-3pm. $3 canned Beers and $1 Soju shots. Can't beat that price anywhere. The staff have always been super friendly and helpful. I feel this restaurant is highly underrated. Cerritos has a ton of restaurants and some have a lot of hype. People are definitely missing out on this place. Highly recommend. The food is high quality. The shrimp have always been jumbo and full of Cajun flavor. I always get the Full House: garlic butter, lemon pepper, and PK sauce. Medium spicy level. With corn and sausage as my add ons. read more

We've been here for the lunch specials a couple times now, flavor and texture of shrimp is good, cooked well. Usual it's not too crowded during lunch so I'd feel uninformed commenting on service, since I haven't been during peak hours. Restaurant has a clean appearance, however; the restrooms can use some attention . Overall has been enjoyable if you have a long lunch break and don't mind getting a little messy. read more

Best Cajun shrimp in town ... Alex gone take care of you !!! Peeled shrimp go crazy !!!!'

As soon as we walked in, I went straight to the bathroom and it was disgusting - that's how I know this place was gonna be good. The frozen crawfish was subpar, to be honest. They do have very good deals though. We got dollar soldier shots and 1 pound of shrimp with the head on with Cajun fries for $20. Not to mention the brussels sprouts were very good. Be careful with the full house sauce if you get a spicy, it does have a kick to it. read more

Pirates Kitchen - Head on Shrimp Crawfish Brussel Sprouts Cajun Fries - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Artesia, California

Came here twice when I was craving for seafood. It is located in a busy plaza. There were plenty of parking spots. Service was prompt, and we were seated soon. Our server was very friendly. There was modern minimalist pirates decorations throughout the restaurant. We ordered the Cajun fries and captain combo: king crab, corn, sausage, mussel, shrimp, and crawfish. The Cajun fried was crispy, not oily, and perfectly seasoned. We chose the house sauce, which has "everything" in it for our seafood. The seafood was not over cooked. They tasted very fresh and sweet. The sauce has a little spicy kick to it, but not overly powerful. Price was reasonable and worth for what we paid for. Will come back again if I happened to be in the area. *check-in for a free beer read more

They were SO SMOOTH! They seemed a bit short staffed BUT Ashley our greeter/server/cashier WAS AMAZING. She was a one woman show! She greeted EVERYONE WHO CAME IN. She helped us and every single person who walked in. Shout out to Ashley THE REAL MVP 10/10 recommend, come when Ashley working! Top tier customer service! read more

Pirates Kitchen - Full house Head on Shrimp, Cajun Fries Regular Fries - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Artesia, California

Friends recommendation of sawing a Tik Tok promotion of 2lb shrimp for only $20. For first timers, crawfish places is known mainly for getting messy and socializing . The restaurant is in the plaza where Pho Yummy and a popular Italian restaurant so parking can be hectic during its peak times. Inside is very inviting if it's your first timers. You do get a bip and gloves. Bip is protect your front and gloves if you don't want to get your hands messy. Veterans...there's not much to say except the differences: - Full house (high recommended): includes lemon/garlic butter and PK sauce - Spice level from 1-5: the level 5 (aka 911) is their spiciest level. However, if you are spicy lover, it will tickle your throat and give you a face, but it's not that spicy The 2lb shrimp tik tok promotion is the same during their lunch time but they can honor it anytime as long you show them the video proof of it. There's a Yelp check in for free $3 can beer of Modello and something else. Got the promotion, full house, 911 with extra add ons of both sausage and potatoe and order of Cajun fries. Sodas are fountain and refillable Was it worth it? The waitress was honest about the spice. Omg. The full house with 911 spice blends in well with the corn and sausage. Service is excellent but maybe because it wasn't a ful house. Eating with gloves makes it harder to peel off the shrimp do do what I do...no bip and no gloves and let's get messy. Overall, it's very good and highly recommend it. read more

Came in at 3pm for an odd request....26 people reservation in a Saturday for 4pm. Didn't think this would happen by 4 but hey let's try for Great grandma's Birthday. Spoke with Shannon, she was so sweet and accommodating.....told me to check in on the tablet and they'd text me when the table was ready promptly at 3:51, I get the text. We go in Shannon and Holland were soooooooo sweet and patient. Right when I thought all our party was accounted for, here comes another 8 of my husbands family. Unaccounted for on my end. But without missing a beat she set up another table nearby and started taking orders. Within about 20 mins, bags start coming out. While my 4 year olds kids meal didn't come out till we were basically finished; she was very apologetic and took it off the bill and still gave my son his nuggets. The all in Sauce at Medium is to die for, the seafood was fresh and the atmosphere was lovely. Thanks Pirates Kitchen Definitely will be coming back. read more

This is our 3rd time here. Our server Dennis was awesome. We were celebrating a birthday and Dennis made it extra special. Best seafood spot in the area we will continue to come back. read more

I always come here and honestly the food is so good and the prices are incredible! But today when I went in I saw a new girl working named Rebecca who was very rude and dry with not just my table but everyone. All the other girls are so nice and amazing but not Rebecca. Since I already knew what I wanted to order when I told her she made a snappy comment "already?" And I'm not sure if she was just in a bad mood but she's not professional at all especially when talking to clients. Her attitude is very much idc about my job just here for my check. Which I get it, but no need to be bitchy. The only time she was nice was when I was paying and she was kissing ass for a tip. It's just disappointing because this place is amazing but that worker needs to be reminded of the company's core values. read more

Get the peeled shrimp, full house flavor. Can't ever go wrong! Alex will take care of you.

Shrimp smelled like ammonia, and it was overcooked and mushy, not to mention it was extremely bitter. The overall flavor of the shrimp was bitter, and all the limes were bad. I tried to make so many excuses when I was so excited to try this place. After speaking to the waitress, it took a couple minutes of going back-and-forth to get the shrimp taken off the order they smelled like ammonia and, overall quality of the food was terrible. Save your time money and energy. Just go to boiling crab. It's 2 pounds for $20 for a reason. These pictures were taken of the food that was left on the table because of how unedible the food was. read more

Second time here and it would have been 5 stars however our shrimp was overcooked. The flavors are on point( go all in) and mild can even have a spicy kick at times. Definitely will come back as the first time was gooood! They also sell a 3 pack of soju and if you cant drink all three bottles, you can take the left over unopened bottle to go! Will try this spot again the next time Im in the Cerritos mall area and look forward to that 5 star experience. read more

Having never been before, late night cravings called for a first time visit.

Although, why would anyone pass up on all the head brains & fat is beyond me. Full House is a combination of all the sauces (garlic butter, lemon pepper & PK sauce). Medium was just the right amount of heat. Each shrimp was large, tender & great tasting. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select_video=uj8DCZrCM7aO6ZLSLsA7ug&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Service was good. The wait wasn't long, and the attendant came by to check a few times. Ample seating, the interior has a pirate/ocean motif. Parking is via a shared lot. Pirates Kitchen is located at the Artesia City Plaza, located on the left of La Tavolata. They had me at tacos. Pirates Kitchen is a great local late night food option. Their tacos are hard to pass up, and I'm already craving more. Their shrimp boil is no slouch, either. Pirates Kitchen has added itself on my rotation list for places to eat. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=uEOUGrVjE1ILMCE_Oj_OTw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA read more

Calling all Shrimp Lovers! Please check out Pirate's Kitchen for their special deal. Opted for the 2lbs of shrimp(head-on) for $20 is the special they have going on right now. It lasts from 11:30am to 3:00pm. Very affordable! I chose the Full House sauce, which is a mix of garlic butter, Cajun, & lemon pepper at a Level 2 Medium & added half a pound of sausage. The shrimps were fresh & cooked to perfection. Their thick sauce was impressive. It was so delicious eating the shrimp with a bowl of rice. Service was great. Seemed a little short staffed when I had walked in. The theme of his restaurant is a pirate theme. This place is located in a busy plaza. Parking can be a little hard during the weekdays & weekends. Definitely returning for their 2 lbs shrimp deal! I wish they could make the deal ALL DAY! read more

I wasn't sure what to expect considering all the other reviews about the food lacking flavor, but I'm glad I decided to check it out for myself. I got the $20 for 2 pounds shrimp special from 12-3pm, I got all in sauce with mild spice with potatoes and sausage. 10/10. Flavor is so good, they gave so much sauce to dip the shrimp in and it was so flavorful. The waitress was very kind from beginning to end and made sure we were taken care of. Don't trust the bad reviews and try this place out for yourself! (They are probably spoiled cry babies expecting a full on show and feast for 20 be real!!) Def worth the price, will be back. read more

Absolutely terrible! Don't waste your money plus they never answer the phone, super unprofessional

first time trying pirates kitchen and super happy i came here for dinner. my server was super sweet and guided me on how to order and attentive with my table. the shrimp is a bit smaller than other places i tried but all the shrimps, mussels, and crawfish i had in my bag were delicious! ngl i got their full house flavor and it was salty, not sure if i could've adjusted that but that was the only downside to it. i also love how they had so many different sauces come out. like garlic butter, extra cajun sauce, ketchup, ranch, and some thing else i can't really describe lol. overall this place was an 8/10, would definitely come back again :) read more

Pirates Kitchen - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Artesia, California

Best place nearby or far. $25 for 2 pounds. $20 for 1 pound and Cajun fries. Always fresh. Hot. Flavorrrrrrrrr. Sauce it down you do too much. Sauce is so good and so much. Bomb. Place looks so cool. The decor looks so fun. And we came once and the wait was over an hour so we order it to go and they made sure we had everything we needed. Limes, gloves, bibs. It was hot. And enjoyed it right at home. read more

This hot boil is tasty and spicy, even the mild is spicy. I had both the mild and medium and can hardly differentiate the spiciness level. The food is good and the service is good as well. Was disappointed that they didn't have everything that they offered in their menu. Really wish they sold King Crab but never the less the snow crab was still satisfying. read more

I stumbled upon this place exploring the plaza and I was pleasantly surprised! The food here is tasty and the service is great. Walking in, we were kindly greeted and shown to our seats. I do believe the seafood is frozen, but the flavor is still on point! Coming here, I got the first mate combo which includes 2 pieces of corn, 2 potatoes, a half pound of sausage, and one pound each of crawfish, clam, mussel, and shrimp. You then get to choose a sauce. These are garlic butter, lemon pepper, Cajun, and full house which is all the sauces combined. Afterwards, you can customize the spice level from level one through five. Personally, I love spice, and I didn't find level 5 too be all too spicy. The waitress was super nice and got us extra pepper extract to spice it up! We also got appetizers which included sweet potatoes fries, calamari, and fish tacos. The sweet potato fries were solid, sweet and crispy! The fish tacos were solid as well and I do appreciate that it came with some quacamole. The calamari on the other hand wasn't it for me. It's decent, but tasted like something I can get from the frozen aisle at Ralph's. Overall, the seafood, which is the main attraction, was tasty. The restaurant has a fun pirate theme and I think it's a great place to bring friends or family. read more

Loved from start to finish!! Our server Ben was basically the GOAT of servers. I've worked in service for half my life and this kid was astronomical especially given his young age. And, just so you know my bar is set very high. He was great as explaining the concept as this was our first time there. The food was exceptional. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. I got snow crab legs and shrimp. My dad got shrimp and clams and my husband got another boil and my teenagers got a pasta and tacos with asada fries. Everything was tasty. Ben was especially attentive. Excellent food, service and great ambiance. I'm a Cerritos native who has moved to Wyoming where the food scene is non existent this place is a gem. Hit them up and give business to locals!! They know what they're doing! read more

Just wanted to give bennett a huge shoutout! We came in Sunday night and he was such an amazing server. Like give this a man raise! lol very tentative and well mannered. The food was also very delicious! It is definitely my new favorite seafood boil to go to Will be coming back ! read more
