Went for lunch. The Yelp check in deal for free soda is only if you're ordering a seafood combo. Had the lunch meals. Didn't feel like eating crab, just shrimp. My meal was the two choice New York steak and salt & pepper shrimp. I ordered the steak medium well because its always undercooked. Good thing I did because the steak was bloody. I ate half and packed the rest so I can cook it at home...
Also ordered the chicken wings. Got the cajun wings and it also comes with fries. The server didn't ask us how we wanted our fries (learned later when I saw it on the menu). You have

The food was hot and fresh but the seasonings are horrible. The butter looks like ground beef and oil in a cup and it taste like it's seasoned with a table spoon of air. I ate the food because it was expensive but when I thought I was done, and looked in the bag and saw another cluster of crab legs, I was upset that I had more. The popcorn chicken is good and the plain fries was also good. The Cajun fries was nasty and the Cajun seasoned chicken wings was a huge disappointment. Overall, if you want anything Cajun seasoned, be prepared for disappointment. The staff was nice and I would definitely

Bit pricey for what u get. Normally our go to is dungeons crab but definitely wasn't a fan of it here. The snow crab was really good and so was the sausage corn potatoes and shrimp. Not a fan of muscles clams or craw fish so that was kind of a waste but over all sauce and everything else was good. Staff was super friendly, not a busy place at all.

The worse service ever under the direction of night mgr, Jaelyn. My 4th time there since I lived in Waimalu 27yrs. Island too small to be arrogant. Never in my life, did I not leave a tip. Yes, I got rude when because we needed to raise our hands to get attention. Reacting to the poor service. Only 8 people in restaurant, we were 3. She 86'd me because I vented on the poor service. No worries Jaelyn, I will 86k times to ensure 86k people never get to that restaurant. You & your young waitress ( who quotient give me her name, because she didn't need to) need to work on customer

We ordered 3 Dungeness crab for our birthday dinner. Expecting some great fresh live cooked crab we were very disappointed.
The crab body was hollow with very few crab meat inside. The legs were of the same condition. We paid $30 plus dollars for each crab only to find a hollow crab shell!!!!!!
I would have second thoughts of recommending this pl

I had read mixed reviews about this place so have put off eating here for several months. Yesterday, I decided to give it a try. I will definitely be back!
From the moment I walked in, I received very nice service. The food was fresh, delicious, and well worth the price. Several employees were seen cleaning and sanitizing while I was there. Way to go! Keep up the good work.

This place is alright. The service is a 10/10 though!!!! The food could just be better. It just doesn't hit the spot the right way. I came here the first time with my mom and sister and then recently with my good friend.
They have a wide variety of combinations so you can definitely switch up your orders and spicy ness. I don't like mine too spicy so I always get mild. The second time I came here with my friend she recommended the sausage and we even got some wine! The waiter shared her recommendations and 1 of them was only good but the other one was too bitter that we both couldn

Awesome experience with the hubby and keikis. We usually do crab boil at home but this spot came recommended by my oldest child.
Located in the Waimalu Shopping Center this gem is quite spacious affording for social distancing during your meal. Parking is free, the lot is big.
Employees are wearing masks. Contact tracing sheet filled out when you enter. Temp scans taken. Sanitizing is done between customers.
There was no wait and only a couple of patrons when we entered around 2:10 pm. They have a restroom in the restaurant. It's clean and convenient.

My family dined in on Friday. We had a reservation at 7 and we got there at 6:50, I walked in after one party that walked in and was told to wait outside. I thought the hostess was a bit abrupt but okay, I didn't know the rules. I waited outside the door to go in next, and a white lady walked in and stood in there for a couple minutes so I walked in and was immediately told to wait outside. (I had to tell the lady who cut in line that I was next because the hostess just let her wait inside while I was rushed out...that seemed rude to me.)
The food was filling but portions seem much smaller

I ordered from them a few times already and I noticed a trend. I don't know if your chef is in on Sunday but when I order on Sunday the food is definitely not as tasty as it is on Saturday!! I ordered my salt and pepper crab (it went up in price but I don't mind as long as it's DELICIOUS) but this time again it wasn't the same. It was bland in flavor, not that much seasoning of garlic and chilies, so I had to knock it down one star. A bit disappointed since the price point of isn't cheap. I don't splurge often, but when I do I like consistency. Ok, I like consistency

Standard "chain Cajun" restaurant... offering a somewhat ok selection of Cajun-esque fare. With the emergence of Cajun cuisine popularity, this is one of about 6-7 similar themed places currently on island. Most of the seafood is frozen (can't ship live crawfish like you do for Maine lobster). As such, it's a cool fun place to dine if your "on the fang" for Louisiana food. We had visitors who wanted to try this place so we happily complied. Had the combo boil with garlic butter sausage and I ordered the oysters with ginger and onions....Price: much more $$$ than

Who doesn't love seafood? Been craving a bunch lately so decided to give them a try. As like many other Cajun restaurants they have seafood bags you can order or separate more affordable entrees. Being that we drove quite a bit to get here it was go big or go home!
Went with the King Crab Combo side order extra pound shrimp.. cuz why not ! We also went with onion rings because we love em!
Combo 3:
King crab, shrimp, mussels, clams, crawfish, potato, corn, sausage. For the most part the shrimp mussels and sausage was okay but the king Crab was really dry.. crawfish tasted a bit rotten and

This spot is me and my family's favorite place! My boyfriend and I will only go to Cajun King Aiea for our cajun needs. We've tried other places but this place is hands down our favorite in service and in food. Their sauces are just on point! We always get cajun & garlic butter. Sometimes for mild spice level, it might be a little bit too hot sometimes but its understandable - sometimes we might be heavy handed on seasoning sometimes. totally get it!
Parking here has been great right now since not much people eat out at restaurants so you'll always find parking. For this order

Good food. Good service. Good prices.
It was my first time here. I'm a big seafood fan and I live in town so I usually hit up the seafood places on that side. So glad we gave this place a try though. They were clean. And spacious. They used their space wisely and social distancing is enforced. They take your temperature and requires you to wear masks.
I like this place. I will definitely take a drive out to aiea for this place.
Go get your seafood fix!
Ohhh, and their fried catfish is da bomb!

I've been craving seafood during this lockdown and I finally decided to let myself indulge.
I ordered the snow crab with the garlic butter and a corn. Their garlic butter is so good and plentiful. I can still smell the garlic on my hands, even after wearing gloves and washing my hands multiple times. I ordered one pound of the crab and that was enough for me. As I neared the end of my crab legs, the garlic butter started to become too much for me and it was starting to taste too salty. The soda I ordered helped to cut down on that a little but I was definitely struggling to finish the last

We always go to this location. Normally the snow crab legs are meaty but the past 2 times they were tiny!! It was almost not worth trying to open because the meat just wasn't there and it was hard to open since they were small
They do make the 4 pieces of sausage big which I appreciate because they are so tasty.
The flavor is unreal and flavorful. Plenty of butter and garlic.
We also order the clams with a black bean sauce. Please try, it will satisfy all of your taste buds!
We bought the fried Oysters. I didn't care for the batter. Maybe if they used a different batter, But it
