"At the strip mall Viet-Cajun restaurant Cajun Kitchen in Chinatown, you can get your fill of Vietnamese food like a green mango salad and mực nướng sa tế (grilled squid marinated in garlic and chili sauce), alongside Cajun dishes like boudin balls and tender turkey necks. This place also serves crawfish year round, with seasonings including a rich garlic butter and a bright thai basil. Or there’s the “kitchen special” with refreshing lemons and oranges keeping your crawfish cozy in the seafood boil bag. Crawfish boils here have a two-pound minimum so show up hungry or bring a pal. This spot is laid back and casual, and it’s constantly prepared for seafood fans—and the subsequent mess they bring—with tables covered in vinyl and paper towel rolls at every table.
