Upon walking in, it seemed like a standard carryout with a few items like a convenient store. It was clean, and the cashier was really sweet. I ordered the yakamein, 4 grilled cheese sandwiches, shrimp poboy, and plain fried rice. I only tasted the grilled cheese and fried rice, and both were great. My sister devoured her yakamein and shrimp poboy. Even the kiddos loved the poboy.

I've never been so impressed with how clean the crawfish tasted here compared to other places in Nola! My group of friends tried two other places and came back to this one just to make sure it stays ranked #1 on our list!! the service was amazing and quick! It's a mom and pop shop and its like having family serve you. We got 4lbs of craw fish, the spice is a creeper and it continues to get spicier!! You HAVE TO TRY THE TURKEY WINGS AND FRIED PIGS FEET!!! My group of friends are not fans of pig feet or turkey but I felt like we were all fighting for a bite while eating.

This place was like a hidden gem. Their food was delicious. The only thing I would have liked to see was trays and plates. The business is small and not set up for dine-in. We were from out of town and couldn't take it to go. They have two small tables, and the staff was accommodating as we sat there and devoured our food. Even though crawfish was out of season, the lady that assisted us told me how they prepare the crawfish before the end of the season. The little mudbugs were not rubbery like you would get when reheating frozen crawfish. Good job J's!

I'm a native who just moved back to Nola after several years, and was looking for some crawfish before the season ends. This place popped up on yelp due to its proximity to my house, and it had great reviews on the crawfish, so my husband and I decided to give it a try. The crawfish were AMAZING! Large size, shells weren't hard, and price was decent. Employees there were really nice too! Highly recommend. We'll be back!

I was in the mood for seafood and gumbo, so my tastebuds led me here. I did not leave disappointed! I ordered gumbo, turkey necks, corn, sausage, and 1lb of shrimps. The inside of the store was very clean and smelled of seafood and fresh food. The cashier was very friendly and moved really quickly, while taking my order. They was a choice of chicken and sausage gumbo, seafood gumbo, or mixed. I chose the mixed gumbo. The way my tastebuds reacted to the gumbo was EPIC! It was very meaty, juicy, and hot! The shrimp were boiled to perfection and had the right flavor and weren't too spicy. The corn and sausage were awesome as well. Seafood places sometimes overly spice their items and it can lead to a mouth on fire, that did NOT happen today. I definitely will come back, as a regular. I ordered all of those things and spent less than $20. I am happy I tried somewhere new and recommend anyone to try this place! All gumbo are not created equal, but this place knocked it out of the park!
