Today's Cajun Seafood

Picked this place for a quick delivery. Since we ordered online a delivery app - each plate was $11.99 for the entree and 2 sides. I ordered Pineapple BBQ chicken, shrimp pasta, and smothered cabbage. My food was good - not excellent but good. The chicken was a little dry but still good. My husband ordered fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and red beans. He really liked the red beans but the chicken was a bit dry for him as well - still good though. Overall, for a quick inexpensive lunch we would give them another shot.

This was a find strictly using the old Google/Yelp fingers. I had been speaking with some locals about "The Old Sober" aka - Yaka Mein and began looking for places nearby that served it. After checking photos and reviews I decided that Today's Cajun Seafood was the one I wanted to try. I ordered a beef Yaka Mein, A pork boudin, and a crawfish pie. We had just gotten poured on and I was so looking forward to this hot food. There were a few little tables inside, but this is definitely more geared towards takeout. Either way, we ate it there.That Yaka Mein was everything I had hoped it would be. The beef was tender and there was plenty of it, it came with one boiled egg but I added a second one and next time I may even add a third, the noodles were cooked well, there were a lot of scallions, and the broth was hot and flavorful. Literally all I wanted out of that dish, I got. The crawfish pie was fantastic too...I don't think I'll ever go back here without getting another one of those too. Delicious fragrant mix inside of a pastry shell and fried up...exactly what you'd expect it to be. The boudin was good but honestly unremarkable, I probably would pass on that next time and try some more stuff out. Today's Cajun Seafood - Didn't Suck!

glad to have found this place within walking distance of my accommodations in New Orleans over New Year's. Definitely a local joint and not much to look at but the food was delicious and the price was fair. The first time I went, I ordered more Chinese-food items from the steam table. The second time I went, I got the small gumbo and shrimp po boy pictured. Definitely recommend.

I found this because it was highly rated - just outside the French Quarters. You can't beat these prices. Seems like it's Chinese run/influenced. Also fast food, but great spot if you're on the run. Hits the spot.Gumbo was a bit smaller, but for $3.99 you can't expect too much. With real chunks of chicken, shrimp, sausage, celery. They throw the rice directly in. You can taste the black pepper.12" Po Boy. Freshly deep fried shrimp. The rest is a sandwich. Lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, mayo. Toasty bun. This is the definition of a poor boy. It needs the extra condiments - ketchup and hot sauce.

Can't give this place anything but 5 stars. The food was delicious!!! Friendly fast service. The place is like cafeteria style take out with options to eat inside if you like. I got two pork chops with the double side of broccoli & cheese. The other food looked really good too but I wanted to stay low carb. The pork was delicious with grilled onions and the broccoli & cheese was excellent too. All this for $12 to go, couldn't be beat!!

Native Californian reviewing New Orleans food:This place is solid. Saw a bunch of locals lined up here so it had to be good.Honestly, my favorite was the fried catfish poboy and spaghetti. Catfish just felt so nice and healthy, hot out of the frier, and doesn't make you feel heavy after. Spaghetti reminded me of childhood.This was the best seafood gumbo I've had in New Orleans, but I've only had it 3 times. Shrimp pasta was good but not particularly spectacular.I wouldn't get the crawfish pie again. The crust was very nicely made, but I just didn't feel like the filling tasted like much. Wasn't very impressed. Overall a great hole in the wall spot I stumbled upon because it was next to the bus stop and close by. Great for takeout!

In A Nutshell:-Today's Cajun Seafood is a local restaurant located in the Marigny neighborhood.-You'll find some cheat eats that will make you full.-I came here w/ some young peeps I met visiting from Europe.-We all ordered their 3 item combo which came out to $12 including tax.-You you can choose from several of their items, which was a mix of Louisiana comfort food & Chinese food.-I also noticed they sold Vietnamese pho.-I got a couple pieces of baked chicken, broccoli & cabbage.-They fill up the styrofoam container to the brim so you get your money's worth.Overall, it's small, dingy restaurant, so only come if you want a good deal on some comfort food.

One of the better places to eat seafood. Food tasty. Will return when have more time to spend trying things.

Went there for the large gumbo. It was excellent and loaded up with plenty of ingredients. It was a bit too salty for my taste but the spice level is perfect which might be too easily for the people preferring mild tasting foods. The young lady was nice and polite. Good AC and fair price. Will be back

On my trip to New Orleans for the Bayou Classic my hunt in this trip was for Yakamein. This is another staple of Nola! This place was a little tricky to find I had to drive around a couple times. I found parking but you can only park in that area for 2 hours. The location was on the corner next to a few other food spots. Parking can be a little challenging. When you walk in the food is cafeteria style but was smelling really good. It was 2 women up from serving the food. They were nice and split the line up because for the food in the front and those who wanted yakamein or a sandwich. I don't really see you sitting and eating here more a pick up and go spot it real casual and laid back. Now let's get into the good stuff, the meat was extremely moist and tender, I believe they use a roast cut. It was well seasoned and the. Broth was very rich and savory. You can tell this was cooked with love. Everything was simple the meat, scallions,spaghetti noodles and i topped it with an egg. You have your option to put soy sauce and spice hot sauce. You could taste a little soy in the broth but I definitely put some hot sauce. For me I would have topped it with Cajun seasoning for more umph!! This is a staple meal, so if you are not on that side of town to check this place out definitely try it out. It's an Asian flavor with Cajun flavor.
