Feb 26, 2026"Really really really really really good. Traditional New Orleans family-run bodega food + American staples + Vietnamese fusion. The gumbo is great. The crayfish boudin is great. The fried shrimp Po boy is divine. And they have pho!! Cheapest ATM in the area (.99 fee) And the place is super squeaky clean. If Tony Bourdain was still around, he would probably eat here."

Feb 24, 2026"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!"
