Description

Only in Chinatown would you find a Vietnamese-run Cajun restaurant/sports bar that also serves sushi. And all of it is good, including the fresh crawfish that the Wild Cajun folks nearly always have in stock - whether it's crawfish season or not.

Wings are a crowd favorite, especially washed down with a cold beer.

It's not officially crawfish season yet. Exhibit A: Danton's, my go-to for serious Cajun food, isn't stocking them. Exhibit B: Neither is BB's Cajun Café or Goode Co. Seafood. And it won't be until at least the end of the month, if not next month.... More »
