Really good red beans and rice. I had the oyster and shrimp po' boy. It is expensive, but you get a lot of food. They have a great selection of sodas. I am partial to the Sioux City Root Beer. The po' boy had a spicy kick to it and they had hot sauce on the table. My only problem was the music was a little loud. Would I go back? Heck Yeah. I would also buy any goodies before eating as you will be too full to be tempted. They are a deli as well as a restaurant. The restaurant is in the heart of Chinatown, but parking can be had on the street or there is a lot for 4 dollars up on Spring and Ord. It is just up from another great place, Philippe's.. Next time the muffaletta.

I swear I've walked by this place so many times and never noticed it. It makes me definitely miss NOLA with the Po' Boys they serve, the spices they sell, the Jazz music that plays, and all the goodies you can get in New Orleans. I got the Shrimp Po' Boy Sandwich and a side of onion rings. The sandwich was tasty, but on the pricy side. The onion rings I would pass on next time. I wanna try the Chcohon Sandwich and the Hot Sausage ones next time I come here.

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to stop by to have a taste of New Orleans! I walked in and ordered the half muffuletta to go. I was thinking of ordering oyster po boy too, but the cashier mentioned it would be way to much. I was not disappointed with my original choice! It was a huge half sandwich filled with plenty of meats and condiments on a sesame roll. One will not be hungry once you had. It was my first time to have one of these and I can't wait to come back in the future for this or any other entree. The owner definitely knows how to prepare the dishes from the Big Easy. They have a store full of Louisana spices and beverages from the home state. The cost of the meal was 10.00. They could easily charge more and I can't image anyone would object. I wish there was one of these in the Bay Area. It's so difficult to find authentic eateries that serve genuine New Orleans goodies.

This restaurant is actually inside a small market. They have about 10 small tables that seat 2-4 people. We tried their Shrimp Po'boy and Dirty Fries. The Po'boy was delicious. It was perfectly dressed and the shrimp had a nice little bite to it. The Dirty Fries were amazing. The portions are good, so we shared since we had plans to walk around Chinatown. You can purchase old fashion sodas at the market. They were even playing authentic New Orleans style music. We loved it!!!

The po-boy sandwiches are reminiscent of NOLA cuisine, but they definitely put their on spin on the concept. This is not say you should skip it - the food is excellent, portions are huge (splitting a sandwich may be a good idea), and it is quite affordable!

We were going to eat in Chinatown round the corner but the whole place just looked dirty so we didn't want to eat. Got talking to a local American guy and he recommended this place, glad he did. Went in and was greeted with a friendly welcome and handed menus, decided then ordered. Waited 10 minutes for a couple of Po-boys and side of fries. Food was good and had a couple of beers too. The only downside I would say was cost at nearly $48, seemed a little steep for 2 sandwiches, 1 fries and 2 beers. But food was good. 8/10

Way tasty Po' boys: shrimp, hit sausage. Can't wait to try the crawfish Mac and cheese, mufaletta. Food is priced right...sandwiches are large! Really good staff greeting all and patient with po' boy newcomers like me. Also bought market items to take home. Yes, yes, yes!

A friend suggested this place it has a lot of Nawlins charm but they were heavy handed on seasoning too much spice not flavorful overwhelming rather disappointed or else I would give glowing review sandwich's was nice portion not worth price and then be disappointed as we were.

Was told gumbo was Saturday special so I got it. It was thick, spicy & delicious ($15) and big. They had a breakfast, daily special & regular menu - extensive to say least. My friend had po'boy which he liked. I regret being too full for dessert. I hope to go back soon... They also have lots of seasonings & other NoLa food items for sale in little store area.

This New Orleans-style restaurant located on the east side of China town has been quite the find. As a New Orleans transplant, I was amazed to find this restaurant/grocery store (the last time I went in, it became more restaurant than grocery store, but still has some hard-to-find New Orleans products). The true French Po Boys served here are filled with shrimp spilling out, or oysters, or cat fish or roast beef. The French bread is outstanding. These sandwiches are large enough to split or to take half home. The red beans and rice are good, the jambalaya is good and daily specials surprise you with authentic New Orleans dishes. Try this one. You won't be disappointed!

Our last stop before a stroll though Chinatown and back to Union Station via the Gold Line. My wife wanted to try the soft-shelled crab sandwich she'd seen on Triple-D...Me, not so much, but we navigated there from Pershing Square Metrorail Station and the re-opened Angel's flight. We'd arrived by bus after a day at the enjoying a couple the museums that were all open free that day (my pitch for LA for the day) So we didn't quite know where we were going and the gps on the phone said w'ere here and we opened a door and it didn't look like a restaurant at all but a small grocery store so we backed out... Walked further down the sidewalk and went in the next door and there were tables and... it's the same place as the "store-lookin' side" where you actually order (no table service) and you also can buy drink items like the somewhat pricey dark beer I ordered and other drinks. So really, it's not much in the way of decor - maybe a dozen or so tables - I think some chairs in a "booth" or so. Order on one side, pick-up at a window closer to where the tables are. Oh, the food. Good. I donno, but I'm not into soft-shell anything, so the bite of I tried of the po-boy sandwich didn't impress me 'cause it's "soft-shell" not "no-shell." I don't like shell of any measure of softness so. My pulled pork sandwich was very good. Large (though I pigged it down cannibal-style when it's worded like that I guess, one pig eating another). The slaw, the sauce, it was excellent if the half-size bun was a bit wimpy. On the larger size you get what appears (hopefully) to be more durable variety. I think it was in the neighborhood of seven bucks - a lot of meat and was a good price considering we were out for the day of cheapskate thrills and sitting and eating and taking a couple of pictures at a table with a signed Guy Fieri poster on the wall behind us was part of why we were there... a kind of stupid part, but that's what we stupid people do. Our friends had some fried catfish. I tried it. Was as good as any fried fish I've had and that's my take on that. They proclaimed it excellent and there wasn't any left even though it wasn't a skimpy haul. There's self-serve water with something.. was it lemons or cucumber I don't remember... It was good. We had fun. You could too. Take the train. It's a deal.

Caught the Triple D show featuring this place & went over. Great little market, good ambience, lousy food. The portions were hearty but not tasty. We got the crawfish mac & cheese, fish & shrimp po' boy & 2 drinks for $35.00. We split the sandwich, threw away the mac & cheese ( just awful) and called it a day! Maybe, I'm too hard on this place since Acme Oyster House is still fresh on my mind.

My husband and I went here after reading review in the LA Times. We shared a shrimp po boy sandich. It was good but nothing special. It wasn't hardly as good as Harol and Belle's on Jefferson, or Bourbon Street in Inglewood. There is some weird seasoning used that we didn't care for but otherwise it was ok. I wouldn't bother to drive all the way to Chinatown again. The prices in the rocery stre are really inflated and most of the stuff can be bought at Albertson's or Ralphs. For instance, the Camelia beans are $3.95 for 1 lb there but at Albertson's, Camelia beans are $2.49 for 1 lb. We are glad we tried eating here but we don't plan to return.

We had the Crawfish Mac-n-Cheese and an Oyster Poby. It was a little pricey but the food was good. I came here after seeing this place on Diners Drive-In and Dives. It was woth it. My second trip here. I am trying to decide who has the better Oyster Poboy, this plase of Orleans & New York. The price of a poyboy is cheaper at O&N and the taste is good too. I will have to go back and really see which poboy is better. For the crawfish mac-n-cheese...this is the place!

A group of us went there so I got to try a lot of different items on the menu. I ordered the Fish N Shrimp Po Boy which was very good. The Crawfish Mac & Cheese is a good choice if you like Mac & Cheese. The Oyster PO Boy was also really good. The only thing that I found to be just Ok was the Muffuletta, it was dry. If you are looking for a good sandwich then this is a place to visit. You order at the counter and pick up your food.

Omg, this place is amazing!!!! We only got to try the no 12-half oyster half fried shrimp po-boy and the crawfish Mac & cheese because we were still full from another meal two hours prior. The po-boy was gigantic!!! So many perfectly fried oysters and fried shrimps. Half of the po-boy was a good 8 inches long. The craft Mac and cheese was tasty and good size portion. This place beats that Cajun place at the Farmers market!! Need to come back to try more dishes!!! I love the casual market/self seating environment too!

Just wanted to get out of the house with NOLA on my mind so the family and I checked out The Little Jewel of New Orleans. We have been wanting to go for sometime and the nephew had been hinting so we gave it a try. The place is great and helpful staff to navigate the menu. We got the Blackened Shrimp, Blackened Chicken, Peacemaker & Seafood Lover Po' Boy sandwiches that were excellent!!! Made me feel like I was in NOLA, they even have Abita Root Beer to make the New Orleans experience perfect

First of all, NOLA is one of my favorite places in the world, so I'm ALWAYS craving New Orleans food. Imagine my surprise when my husband googled "good restaurants around me" in the Westin Bonaventure in Los Angeles, and this popped up! We practically ran out the door to get to Chinatown, and there it was in all its glory with a green and white striped awning welcoming us in. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the range of products and menu items to choose from was fantastic, and the food was SUPERB! I ordered a fried oyster po'boy sandwich, and my husband had a special of the day that had fried oysters and soft shell crabs. (I THINK that's what he got. I have to admit that was so excited about my own food that I didn't pay much attention to his!) We shared an order of debris gravy fries. YUM!!! We really pushed it over the edge by ordering fun sodas. Mine was pecan pie flavored Abita. They even sold fresh or canned Cafe du Monde coffee and chickory in the little market area, but we were too full for anything else. We waddled out of there and had a fun time exploring Chinatown. What an unexpected thrill for me to get authentic tasting New Orleans food in LA!

My husband has been craving po-boys ever since our recent trip to NOLA, so he decided he wanted to go to Little Jewel of New Orleans for Father’s Day. We were not disappointed! We ordered/shared a Seafood Lover Po'Boy (catfish, shrimp and oysters), Hot Sausage Patty and Swiss Cheese Po’Boy and Debris Gravy Fries. OMG! Everything was freaking fantastic!!! The place is more of a small market with a very casual café, but don’t let that stop you. Get in line (you may have to wait, but it is well worth it), order your food and they will call your number to pick it up from the counter. Have a seat inside or outside and get ready for a true experience. Sandwiches are very large (I made two meals out of mine) and the bread is fresh. When you bite into it you will feel yourself ascend into heaven for a moment. Then you will take a bite of the debris fries and you will start moaning and rocking in your seat. This euphoria will continue the entire time you devour your meal. As you are relishing your meal, the chef comes around to check in and make sure everything is up to par. Very impressive! Make sure you take the time to look around the market before leaving. They have many authentic NOLA items that are difficult to find here in California. Unique seasonings, spices, beignet mix and more. All-in-all this was a fantastic experience and I can hardly wait to go back!!

Ate breakfast here, on the edge of Chinatown a stroll away from Union Station. Showed my coin (not the current term) from Carnival 2015 to the staff. Neighborhood store with specialties from the Crescent City.

It seems out of place when one first walks in. It's a restaurant/Market/Speakeasy. That's the feel one gets when dining. The little market in the center of the establishment has great choices of products that can't be found in Los Angeles. But the best thing of all is the food!!!!! One taste and I was 14 again spending the summer in New Orleans. Just wish it was closer I would go every week!

I've been here a few times, and their Po' Boys are always consistently and wickedly GOOD! Both indoor and outdoor seating is available. You place your order at one end of the hall and pickup at the other end. They also have a small grocery of Louisiana delicacies on site. The Po' Boys are fairly large, packed with quality ingredients and are reasonably priced. This surely is a jewel of a restaurant!

Really tasty New Orleans eatery and grocery store. Extensive menu that includes po-boy, muffuletta sandwiches with a ton of options. Salads and deli sandwiches galore. The Craw Mack deluxe is too good. Pasta with crawfish topped with shrimp and sausage. Seasoned just right. We finished with the New Orleans style bread pudding with whiskey sauce. Quaint place in the heart of Chinatown. They serve beer and other alcohol drinks. When you're finished eating, you can shop for New Orleans foods. Would highly recommend but beware, portions are really big.

from the food, to the enviornment, to the friendly staff this was a dining treat. shrimp po boy was as good as johnny's in nola. red beans and rice terrific, as was the banana pudding, spicy italian sausage sandwich, and the bbq shrimp po boy daily special. our group loved it all. the market reminded me of central grocery in nola. throw in great music, and a friendly staff & you have a great dining experience.

We stopped in for a quick bite to eat and what a treat! The food is as good as anything one would eat in NOLA. Seriously, it is. Take my word for it. My muffuletta was excellent full of olive salad, which if we were not flying back to Vermont would have purchased a jar. And my dining companions went orgasmic over their Po' Boys: a sea food and a mixed sea food. We actually shared everything and I can honestly say, the food was great.

Went with some friends who had heard about this place on TV. It's a grocery store / restaurant with maybe 8-10 tables squeezed in at one of the store. Menu is quite extensive and you order at the main register. I had the shrimp po'boy and while good with a decent amount of shrimp the batter was not quite right. It wasn't the golden brown light corn meal crust that I enjoyed in a variety of places in New Orleans. Instead it was a little heavy and greasy. Also the shrimp itself didn't have much flavor. Hush puppies were overcooked as well. With that said, if you can't hop on a plane and head to NOLA, of the several NOLA style restaurants in LA, this is a good place to go.

We finally made it over to Chinatown to check this place out - and we were not disappointed. It's part deli, part restaurant, part bodega and there's something to see everywhere you look. The selection of soft drinks and sodas is mind boggling - really something for every taste and mood. We split the Shrimp Po Boy, which was fairly loaded with shrimp - and an order of onion rings. Both were delicious and we were actually too full to be tempted to buy a Stuckey's Pecan Log to take home. Their dessert case was full of tempting looking goodies - but again, we were too full. And that's a perfect reason to return! Gotta try that bread pudding....

We had lunch here for the first time and it was very good. It is on a side street near China town and Olvera Street. They have Muffulettas, Jambalaya, Po Boys, Beignets, etc. The fried Catfish was the best I have had since my mom made it for us in Tennessee! The sausage Po'Boy was filled with flavor and was delicious. The Banana pudding was rich and so yummy! They have a market filled with cajun spices, chou chou, red beans, breading etc. Go and enjoy.

It has been many years of trying out different New Orleans-style restaurants peppered throughout LA, and I finally found it with Little Jewel. I dream of the food I had in New Orleans, and now I can have it so close to my neighborhood. We tried the seafood Po Boy and Crawfish Mac-n-Cheese, and they were both so tasty. The flavors transported me from LA (Los Angeles) to LA (Louisiana). ;)

My first time to LA, my son has been taking me to his favorite spots. This place is part grocery store/part restaurant. You order at the register for take out or sit in one of the 8-10 or so tables. I had the Little Spicy Blackened Chicken sandwich which say it's small you can have two - but it was plenty for me! My son had the New Orleans Barbecue Shrimp Po'Boy and it was huge! Less than $25 for two great sandwiches, I highly recommend!

It was different as in flavor and uses of spices on a traditional po boy. Had a twist on flavor but it was still satisfying.

Our new must-go place in DTLA. Don't stop at Philippe's (Cole's is better anyway), walk up a block to check out this corner of NOLA in Chinatown. The muffaletta is on a par with the Central Grocery on Decatur - perfect mix, perfect bread! Po boys are humongous and dressed, but the shrimps are a bit puny so it's mostly fried breading. If you want to eat on the patio, you can't bring out the hot sauce bottles, so load up inside. The market has everything you can find in NO but can't get here. Unfortunately, you have to wait in line for the single checkout person in the market to order deli food or just to buy a drink, so have patience. I miss the Po' boys from Stevie's - but this place rocks.

Warning: The Parish Fair Sandwiches aka Small Buns are REGULAR sandwiches! If you can eat TWO and that's your standard way of eating then you're on the verge of obesity...if you're not already there! I give Little Jewel of New Orleans an A+ for keeping it true to New Orleans style....HUGE PORTIONS! They also try hard (keyword - TRY) to bring that NOLA flavor to their sandwiches with the Southern spices and the way they dress their sandwiches. If you like swine then I recommend the Cochon de Lait (sandwich or po'boy). Lots of flavor, juicy meat and that creole slaw & pickle that goes with it is a nice compliment to that hog 'sammich'. You should also try the Crawfish Mac N Cheese. And guess what....it taste really "fishy"! So if you're not down with the ocean, pass on this! You also can't go wrong with the classic shrimp or fish po'boys. I usually slather it with tons of mayo AND hot sauce. MMMMMMM....definitely a "cheat meal". And to boot, the staff is genuinely nice and friendly, just like the people in the south. But parking could be tough since its in Chinatown so I usually get it to go or for delivery.

Had lunch here yesterday with a friend. We had the Muffeleta Sandwich Lunch Special, half a sandwich and a 375 ml Mexican Coke. Food was flavorful, but for the price the sandwich needed more fillings. Also, they charged us an extra 50 cents each for the sandwich to be toasted. Perhaps I was wrong in not asking how much extra toasting would be when it was offered, but they didn't say it would be 50 cents per sandwich. Lots of other fun stuff to buy in the store. Beware they don't take credit cards. This restaurant is one block away from the Original Phillipe's, next time I will walk there.

So, we went today (April 24, 2017). My grandmother wanted Beignets (thats what i thought but really it was ben gray[some cream]) Anyways we traveled great distance to find her some. This place gave great recommendations so we went. This place is amazing all over it. Its a Grocery, Deli and Restaurant. We only got the Beignets and a menu or two for future and just by that we are definitely coming back. I also bought the grits in the bag from the store for my grandmother and she was excited. The staff was very friendly. Food is amazing. It's really a hidden gem. Everyone should go! My grandmother gives the stamp of approval as well.

I was jones'ing for an authentic oyster po' boy the other day and found this place downtown. A short subway ride to Union Station and a two block walk and I was there. It definitely didn't disappoint. The oyster po' boy was fantastic and I was able to get an Abita root beer with it. Also, the place gets bonus points for having a poster of the 70s film Gatorbait hanging in the dining area. Really cool place and I look forward to heading back for the soda pop ham and swiss po' boy!

OK I saw this on Diners, Drives and Dives and made a special trip to check it out. It was worth it. The service was great and fast, my serving of Crawfish mac and Cheese was amazing and HUGE. If you order that you should share it with another person. Make the tip, it is worth it!

I heard about this from a friend who saw it on TV. Po boy shrimp was excellent, Mac and cheese was pretty good. Great location, easy to find.

Little Jewel of New Orleans has all of the right stuff just not the right staff and atmosphere. The one exception is the manager, he is as NOLA as you come. He is a really nice guy, will accommodate what you want and talks like he is straight out of the Bayou. When you step into the place it is a grocery store as well as the restaurant and you order at the register. The day i came in the girl at the register I was told was new as she was hard selling BBQ Shrimp Po Boys and saying they were her favorite. Yet when you asked her questions about the other food she was not so great at answering them. She acted pressured because there were several of us standing around the register trying to make up our minds. It was not the best of customer service either from her or the guy who took over for her very little chat. So while the staff is nice they don't have the vibe, Most neighborhood NOLA restaurants will greet you when you come in, give you menus to look at and chat you up. We all had to stand around the cash register area looking up athe posted menu overhead or at the menu taped on the wall. Even more chaotic was in the section where you could sit down and eat there was a large wall with the various things you could order but you were staring at the wall and people were sitting there trying to eat. Not sure why menus with specials taped on the register area can't work. I think it would be less pressure and more comfortable for everyone, particularly if the staff are not talkative and can help people with their purchases. Now on to the food. One of my favs is the muffuletta so I bought one to take to the Hollywood Bowl. Three of us have spent a lot of time in NOLA and the bread and fixing were only so so in comparison to places in NOLA. I wanted so much to like this place. I was even willing to drive across town if I fell in love with the food to do take in and take. However this place is not going to be one of my places. The manager is great and my sense is if you were catering something or having something special and he was hands on, the food would be better. So give it a chance if you can get the manager to take care of you.

Little Jewel is one of the rare restaurants in Los Angeles that truly recreates New Orleans poor boy sandwiches. The restaurant is located on a block in Chinatown that is already very good for food, with Family Bakery, Won Kok, and the Chinese market where I usually pick up Chinese vegetables. In addition to offering cooked food, they also have a deli with an assortment of Louisiana sausages (many of which are homemade) and meats. There is also a section that contains mostly convenience store foods with a Louisiana theme, as well as New Orleans-specific foods, like Zatarain's Fish Fry and various hot sauces. The sandwiches are excellent and on par with the best poor boys in New Orleans. They use bread from the Leidenheimer bakery in New Orleans, which they bake in house so that it's fresh, soft, and crunchy. Roast beef sandwiches are wet, in the proper New Orleans style, and I think they use Zatarain's for the shrimp. The sausages are excellent and much better than most of the Louisiana sausages you typically find in southern California. I have had one special-- a venison poor boy with some cheese and other stuff that was excellent. Having been born and raised in New Orleans, Little Jewel is a welcome addition to the Los Angeles food scene and satisfies my cravings for authentic New Orleans lunch.

I saw a bit on this place while watching Diners, Drive Ins & Dives and knew I had to check it out the next time I was in L.A. Wow, just wow -- the food was ridiculously good (way too much, I took most of it back to the hotel) and the laid back atmosphere was so good I felt like I was back in New Orleans. I can't wait to go back and visit family again so I can try something different on the menu and score some of that moonshine syrup they were selling.

In addition to their sandwich place, they used to house a huge amount of cajun food staples from New Orleans. There, you could find all the dry goods you would expect in a New Orleans market. Since they opened, they have reconfigured the space to have more indoor seating. This was a wise decision because it was nearly impossible to eat inside the restaurant. My wife and I invited some friends and we went there on a recent Sunday. We ordered a couple of appetizers: hush puppies, jambalaya bites and beignets. After we ordered our food, we noticed a refrigerated case stocked with beer and other adult beverages. We quickly picked up a few bottles of Abita, found our table and waited for our number to be called. The hush puppies and jambalaya were golden brown and crisp on the outside. Both were served with a delicious remoulade sauce. The powdered sugar jumped off the beignets every time you took a bite out of them. My Shrimp Po Boy had large pieces of shrimp with a crispy exterior coated with delicious spices. It was stuffed with shredded cabbage, fresh tomatoes, pickles, red onions and of course, Blue Plate Real Mayonnaise. I usually order the softshell crab po’boy and was delighted with the taste of this sandwich. I savored each bite of it. Their po’boys are made with 10” French loaves from Leidenheimer Baking Co. in New Orleans. Chef-owner Marcus Christiana-Beniger was quoted and said “I can’t tell you how important the bread is. If the bread isn’t right, it’s all wrong. You can do whatever you want with the fillings, but don’t mess with the bread.” I can vouch that the bread is fresh, extremely soft and has a nice aroma and taste. The Little Jewel of New Orleans also offers their sandwiches with an optional “crown” topping. For an extra $3.50, your po’boy is topped with honey bacon and melted sharp cheddar cheese. After it is assembled, it is hand smoked. I ordered a crown version of their House Made Hot Sausage Patty with Swiss Cheese to take home. My friend ordered a half muffuletta. This was similar to a gourmet Italian sub sandwich in a round format. Genoa salami, soppressata, hot capicola, mortadella, provolone, mozzarella and house-made olive tapenade comprised the insides of the sandwich. My friend commented several times how good the sesame seed bun was. He gave it a hearty thumbs up! Everyone in the group is a food enthusiast and we all gave this place a strong thumbs up! We were not hungry for dinner!

WOW...is all I can say. What a meal! I had never heard of this place until a coworker enlighten me. We met here for lunch and I was knocked off my feet by my meal. I had the Killer BBQ Shrimp Po-Boy and it was amazing. I can't wait to go back.

I was born and raised in the south and grew up in New Orleans so I am always a skeptic of so called "New Orleans" cuisine, I must say these guys get it. The grocery has many tradition Big Easy staples and the PoBoy's were right on, we had roast beef, if anything maybe too much meat but great flaovor nad the bread was great, then we added the hickroy burger patterned after Bud's Broiler and the sauce was right on, catfish, shimp and oyster everything brought back great memories and thankfulness that we don't have to travel 2000 miles for a fix ! Only drawback very small and they will most likely have to expand soon !!!!!! Le Bon Temp Roulee

I don't know why, but this week I was craving an oyster Po'Boy sandwich. Usually, when I have that craving, I think of the Gumbo Pot, at the LA Farmers Market. I looked at the website of the Little Jewel and thought that the prices looked a little high, and figured that was because of the area or perhaps the recent profile by Diners, Driveins and Dives. Despite the prices, we made the trip to Chinatown, and walked into the Little Jewel. First impression - this is a cool place. Second impression, I could not believe how big the menu was, and there were many specials. I had the oyster and shrimp po'boy, and my wife had a muffalata sandwich; we also took home a special - duck gumbo - imagine that - duck gumbo! When our number was called, we could not believe how big the sandwiches were. The Po'Boy was enormous, so I am glad the price did not turn me off, because it is well worth the money. My wife had the muffalata. It was good, but a little lacking in the meat - and a tad too much olive spread - our bar is pretty high for muffalatas though, as we had very memorable enormous muffalatas at South Padre Island, TX. One thing that was very impressive, was the chef - he walked out and asked each table if everything was good. You rarely see chefs doing quality checks in other than white table cloth type places, so I thought that was a good sign of commitment to quality. To sum it up, this place is worth the trip to Chinatown, and the money. We are looking forward to our next visit!

We visited this charming "little jewel" for lunch recently and enjoyed a catfish Po Boy. You will find eclectic spices, groceries, and atmosphere associated with Cajun, New Orleans, and Louisiana cuisine. One of the best aspects, the authentic music played creates the perfect vibe to enjoy your lunch and shopping.

If you want a good Po'Boy sandwich downtown this is the place to go. There is plenty of metered parking and seating inside the store. You order at the cash register and pick it up at the deli counter. The catfish sandwich was very good with the mayo, lettuce, pickles and tomato it was very satisfying and it was a lot of sandwich to finish at one sitting. The sitting area is ample for the space and there are a few creole items such as seasoning that you can pick up while eating there. Slam yo mama creole seasoning can also be found there. My friends had different Po' Boys and they raved about theirs as well.

Excellent food. The Oyster Poorboy is the "House". The owners are on site and working. Service is good although somewhat time consuming.

We tried this restaurant which was featured on the Food Network and were disappointed in the quality of the gumbo and fried shrimp. The gumbo had little flavor and the shrimp were over battered and over fried. The bread pudding and whiskey sauce was good.

Little Jewel is a unique, one-of-a-kind in Los Angeles. It is a market with every Cajun spice mix and every Louisiana hot sauce known to man. But most importantly, Marcus is serving the most genuine, outrageously-delicious New Orleans Po' Boys anywhere outside of New Orleans. 37 of them to be exact. Blackened chicken, fried oyster, catfish, shrimp, pulled pork, and any more, all dressed up. If K-Paul's is better, it ain't by much. Marcus also house-smokes his own tasso and Andouille sausage for you to take home, and not so 'spensive either. Easy to find too, about 100 yards from Phillipes near Union Station.

Having seen a lot of reviews about this place, I decided to check it out. Having traveled to New Orleans many times, this place is a straight transplant from there to Chinatown. The Po'Boys were very nice & on the right bread, the cafe au lait was just right, and the gumbo was very good. Lots of speciality sodas & Zapps chips were available. I definitely recommend this place

This little gem is in China Town in Los Angeles and was recommended to me by a local in the area. Also it is walking distance to the historic area so you can go to several places there. They seem to be best known for Po Boy sandwiches. I had eggplant parm po boy and had enough for a few meals. It was the best sandwich I have ever eaten. The only thing I would change is I would get extra marinara because it was rich and delicious. They had a big menu which to me is too big, but I would love to go back and try something else. It is a small place but really worth the trip

Been several times and will go again. Reasonable price; good food and you can park. The menu changes and the market is fun to shop in.

Saw this place on Triple D and decided we had to try it out. We ordered The Godfather, crawfish Mac and cheese and the seafood po boy. All of them were delicious. The shrimp was very tasty along with the catfish. If you like PoBoys give them a try you won’t be disappointed

We took the Gold line to downtown LA and got off at the Chinatown station walked a few blocks and there we were at The Little Jewel of New Orleans. Yes it is a little jewel with over 50 selection of good New Orleans dishes plus breakfast, salads, side dishes including Hush Puppies and deserts. I had the Louisiana Fried Catfish Filet Po'Boy (with shredded cabbage, tomatoes, pickles, red onions and mayo) what a treat to my taste buds. My girlfriend had the Chaurice (Creole hot sausage) with Swiss cheese. Our out of town friends had the Blackened Shrimp Po'Boy (fully dressed with parmesan cheese and Sriracha Mayo) and Cochon de Lait (Cajun pulled pork Po'Boy (with Creole Slaw, cabbage, pickle and Mayo) oh so good. We shared an order of really good Hush Puppies. Just like being on Bourbon Street in the heart of LA Chinatown.

This place is located downtown Los Angeles, or more specifically the Chinatown district. It is right down the street from world famous Phillipes. The place is a treasure for those seeking Louisiana (cajun and/or creole) products. Their assortment of items is very impressive. Some of the dry goods (packaged) are a bit pricey but it is a non-issue if you have no other options. The store is approximately 60% retail and 40% restaurant area. There is limited seating outside. The cooked food is very fresh and for those seeking a legitimate New Orleans flair, you will not be disappointed. The big surprise if the variety of home grown products they have been able to import to the Los Angeles area. They offer many hard to find items.

I visited a few months ago and ordered the crayfish mac&cheese. I wasn't impressed. It didn't have chunks of crayfish nor could I taste it. But I feel that one visit cannot determine how I feel about a restaurant. I returned and ordered the oyster po boy and wow was that good. It was large, spicy and generous with the oysters. The po boy was $13.50 and at first I thought the price was high but after seeing and tasting it I feel it was well worth it. I will return to try other po boys and sides. There is no service. You pay at the cash register and then pick up at the deli counter. Parking is on the street metered and can be difficult but many of the parking lots are $4 for parking all day on the weekends. It is in Chinatown which is always fun to visit.

Went to this restaurant with family. The name of the restaurant was deceiving from the outside, it advertised as grocery & deli. Once inside, lo & behold! Yeah, man, it's like the real New Orleans ambiance! The smell, the set-up, the music, the crowd, the servers and the FOOOOOD! Ordered Po'Boy sandwich, half & half Po'Boy/shrimp sandwich, poutine and fried oysters - to die for. All perfectly prepared, just enough zip to tease the palate, portion large and price reasonable. Definitely will be back here on our next visit in LA.

Well I have been craving for some NOLA food for a long time. There was a restaurant near my but it closed down a while back. I found this via a search and once again I was kind of skeptical cause of its location. Well once again it paid off and was very happy I tried it. Its a set up like a market/deli so you have to order on the market side and pick up at the deli. You can take it to go or dine in since they have tables. The entire market is all NO or southern regional foods. I found Ibea Root Beer which is the best root beer I have had. I ordered at the counter a Mofolatta and my GF got a sloppy Joe Po Boy. Let me tell you can split a sandwich, that is how big they are. I also got a small order of benignes. They were very fluffy and not greasy. Great people work there especially the girl at the Market side name Sunshine. Very bubbly and even makes a mean apple butter. Please do yourself a favor and visit this gem. It truly is a Jewel

This place seemed like the real deal. I had a blackened chicken po'boy and it was spicy with a touch of funk. I also could have ordered muffeletta, Parish Fare or poutine. The Little Jewel is a deli so besides serving up hot Cajun fare, it also is a store with shelves of hot sauce, hot seasoning and lots of the other specialized ingredients that you would need to cook a Cajun meal. If you have a craving for a candy, soda pop or any Louisiana junk food, you could probably find it here also.

Not quite sure what all the Rave reviews are about? My wife and I stopped in after a visit to Chinatown because I saw the place on Diners, Drive-In & Dives. Gotta say I truly wan't impressed with the food at all. We had the Fried Catfish Platter along with the Debris Fry's to share. Although the food was really plentiful it was both tasteless and uninspiring to us. The Debris Fry's simply tasted like canned Brown Gravy with cheese on top and required allot of extra seasoning added to give it any taste at all. As for the Catfish Platter again another real disappointment here also. The batter was falling off when we got it and the fish was unfortunately mushy. This dish also was virtually Tasteless and required allot of doctoring. New Orleans fare - I think not! We were disappointed because we could have eaten some amazing Chinese food at Hop Woo's on Broadway or even Phillipes but rather chose to try this. We both agreed the food, although plentiful, was nothing more than something to fill your gullet with and we will not be returning.

The name says it all. This delightful spot truly is a culinary jewel! I had an Italian Sausage Po'boy with sauteéd green peppers, onions, provolone, mozzarella and spicy marinara sauce. My wife had the Bayou Godfather Meatball Marinara Po’Boy with mozzarella and provolone. For those of you unfamiliar with po'boys, they are New Orleans' version of a hoagie or sub sandwich, just a lot better. Had we known how big the po'boys were, we would have ordered just one and shared it. These massive mounds of mouthwatering magnificence are served on baguettes that are 10" long and about 4" wide! And they stuff them so full it's a real challenge to get your mouth around them. But as they say, size isn't everything. As soon as you manage to take a bite, it's like a flavour bomb has exploded in your mouth! They were so incredibly scrumptious that we wanted to eat the whole thing, but it was just too much, so we wrapped up the remaining halves and had them for dinner. We also split an order of onion rings and hush puppies (cornmeal fritters). Both were absolutely yummy! If you live in the L.A. area and you've always wanted to go to New Orleans, but you can't afford it, this place is the next best thing.

The fried shrimp po boy was delicious as were the poutine fries!! Many others around us were enjoying mounds of craw fish & they all looked really happy!

Restaurant was recommended. It was my first visit. So, I ordered the Friday special, jambalaya which came with corn bread. The jambalaya was ok and little dry. Small pieces of sausage n shrimp. Didn't taste chicken. They offer a large selection of po' boy sandwich which were pricy. Also, ordered beignets. They were too chewy and tasteless. Too much powder sugar. I will try eating here again, but will order a po'boy sandwich.

I went there after Christmas with my sister for lunch. The restaurant is located near Chinatown LA with street parking or private pay lots, we found a street spot with a $4/hour city meter a block away. The restaurant is in a large room with diner ambiance on the right connected to a small store on the left, you order and pay at the register in the store from yellow card menus. You get a numbered ticket, get a table in the diner room and wait for your number to be announced. The menu consists of mainly Cajun themed sandwiches with a few plate offerings. I included photos of the menu since it describes the sandwich dressing in detail which the web menu does not. My sister ordered the shrimp po' boy and I had the shrimp and oyster half and half. The po' boys came copiously wrapped in paper on a plastic tray. At the unraveling, my sandwich was stuffed with deep fried breaded shrimp and oysters topped with the dressing of cabbage, tomato, pickles, red onion and mayonnaise. The oysters were perfect, juicy and good flavor. The shrimp was good but didn't stand out compared to the oysters. The crunchy breading had some cayenne pepper which gave the sandwich some nice heat. The dressing balanced the fried shrimp and oysters well. I would get the oysters only the next time or try the soft shell crab. The food isn't cheap eats but fair for what you get in quality and quantity, I'd go back.

Went there with a group of seven for lunch. You order and pay at the cashier and then find a table. Your order number will be called and even for our party it didn't take too long. The crayfish mac n cheese was indeed excellent as other reviewers relayed. Was spiced just right and a big hit with the whole bunch. I also ordered the fried okra. The big pieces were tasty but the small pieces were just cooked up batter and tough. My wife had the Wop salad. Not real impressive. She had them hold the anchovies, there was some boiled egg sweet red peppers, capers and a whole lot of lettuce. There were several po boys ordered and they were all yummy and big! All in all a pretty good experience.

This place is tucked in the middle of Chinatown and has the BEST shrimp po’ boy. I had it with fries. I don’t eat most of the other things on the menu but would go back in a heartbeat for another po’ boy. Don’t let the location fool you. If you’re in the area, check it out. If you’re not in the area, drive down and check it out. You won’t be disappointed.

The Little Jewel of New Orleans used to be more of a store with some areas for eating from a small menu. I had not been in some time. We went over the weekend and it was great. They still have Cajun type staples you can buy right there, but they have expanded the dinning area and the menu and it is great. The menu is wonderful. We started with some hugh puppies and they are a must. We loved them and would have ordered more, but we knew a lot of food was coming our way. The hush puppies are golden brown and crisp on the outside. They are served with a marvelous remoulade sauce. Their po’boys are made with 10” French loaves from Leidenheimer Baking Co. in New Orleans. It does not matter which sandwich you get. Each one is a delight. I don't enjoy mayo, so I have that excluded, but they use the real thing and most will love it. The shrimp po' boy is perfect, filled with tasty shrimp and amazing spices. You will love it. We also ordered a muffuletta, which is really just an Italian sub, but round. It was amazing and I would order it again. The Genoa salami and the provolone in these sandwiches is the best. You will enjoy everything on the menu. This is not a fine dinning place so if that is what you want, go elsewhere. You will order not at the table, but at the counter. Their is a frig to grab your own drink and yes, they have beer. The service is very friendly and the place is clean. You will have fun. Enjoy.

we love going to eat the catfish Po'boy and fried okra. I love the little market where you can buy all Cajun ingredients straight from Louisiana. It reminds me of my second home as a child as my mom is from new Orleans and I have spent a lot of time there.

Oh my goodness, here it is - a piece of New Orleans, right in Los Angeles! The wonderful food and the aptmosphere are authentic New Orleans! This is not someplace that just "heard about" New Orleans, this is the real deal. My wife and I were there for dinner last night, after a nice walk over from Union Station. She's from N.O. - how had we not known of this 'little jewel' until now? To get a good feel for the wares, we tried their muffaletta, an order of BBQ shrimp, and a plate of chargrilled oysters (which were on the daily special yesterday!). One of the best muffaletta's I have had, in or out of New Orleans; very authentic! Their house-made olive mix is perfect and the Italian bread, covered with sesame seeds was fantastic. The combination of deli meats and cheeses are right on the money! The BBQ Shrimp were very tasty; nice big shrimps in a fantastic sauce. For those who are not familiar with the "New Orleans version" of "Barbecue Shrimp" - it has nothing to do with an actual BBQ. Its more like a shrimp scampi with a more robust sauce. This place does a very good rendition. And now lets move on to the chargrilled oysters - I have searching the L.A. area for anyone who has this N.O. treat on their menu - no luck so far, until I stumbled on the item on the Jewel's "Daily Special" list yesterday. Wow, fantastic and delicious! We ended up with and order of beignets, which did not disappoint. Wife says we should eat at the Little Jewel at least once a week from now on! We can't wait to try their Red Beans & Rice and Shrimp Po'Boy! The staff was very friendly, the food orders came up quickly, and clientele was a fun and friendly bunch! This place is truly a JEWEL.

Don't you get tired of the same old ethnic food here in the Southland? Dream of something filing, spicy or sweet? This is the place! A little storefront that makes wonderful cajun sandwiches and Creole specialties (cheesy grits with shrimp or spice mac-n-cheese with debris). Beignets with Cafe Au Lait for breakfast; Muffalettas and Po-Boys for lunch! Bring an appetite or a friend--the portions are big! And filling. Owner is an original from the Crescent City who came here years ago, and except for a long trip back after Katrina, has made a home in L.A. Lucky us! He and his kitchen crew and waitstaff really know how to take care of you and make you feel welcome. You know it's good and inexpensive because of all the cops and DAs who dine there at lunch....! Also, the storefront has an ample supply of Cajun/Creole fixings' (spices, sauces, packaged rice, grits, etc.) and nice selection of cookbooks. And, King Cakes are available year round on special order and always available during Mardi Gras season. I'm definitely going back!

We found this place on Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive In’s and Dives web page. We have had good luck with eating at restaurants that he has had on Triple D. We visit New Orleans often since we live only a 100 miles away so we know what good New Orleans food is. We were visiting Los Angeles and decided to try this place out for lunch. This place was terrific. We had a 1/2 muffuletta, order of cheddar and roast beef debris fries and a blackened shrimp/blackened catfish poboy. The food rivaled anything that we’ve had back in New Orleans. The portions are large. The fries are the steak cut fries and they are loaded with cheese and roast beef debris. They have a good variety of items like Zapps potato chips, Abita beer and other products that you typically find in New Orleans or throughout Louisiana. Happy that we we chose to eat here.

I saw this place on Diners Drive-ins and DIves and went the very next day. A little touch of the Big Easy right here in LA. This place is a deli with a few tables to eat in. Phenomenal selections of Po' Boy sandwiches - I had the shrimp and it was delicious and huge ! Also tried their crawfish mac and cheese- very very good. Nothing fancy but real creole in a side street in LA's Chinatown right next door to Phillipe's Original French Dip. Great find.

We were hankering for some n’awlins type food and ended up in Chinatown at this little jewel, tucked away on a side street. As I walked in, there was a row of grocery shelves, loaded with all those spices and other treats that make New Orleans special. I thought I had entered a smaller version of the Central Grocery in New Orleans! There were adequate tables, and service consisted of reviewing the menu, paying at the “grocery” counter and then picking up the food at the deli counter. It could have been a little annoying, except that the French gal at the grocery counter was so pleasant that we all wanted to go back a few times to chat with her. When I asked her if they made beignets, she said “of course” and suggested that I order them toward the end of our meal so that they would be good and hot. We were a party of 3 and we ordered 4 items just to be sure we could try a variety of foods and not go hungry. Going hungry was not a problem. The portions were more than adequate and we took some of the food home because we were so full. The Little Jewel Fish ‘N Shrimp Po’Boy was on large New Orleans style bread and dressed with 5 items. It was excellent. The Fried Catfish Platter was also a winner, with wonderful Hush Puppies and a particularly good cole slaw + French Fries. I’m not a fan of catfish, but this one was really good. We tried the Fried Oyster Salad and it was OK, but none of us particularly liked the fried oysters – not sure why, just nothing special. And finally it was I who selected the Craw Mac Deluxe with Shrimp and House Sausage. Now this is a mac and cheese unlike anything Mama makes – it was superb, rich and savory. Oh, and did I forget those beignets which we ordered late in the meal? They only took about 5 minutes to prepare and they passed the Café du Monde test: delicious, hot and enough powdered sugar to mess up most of our clothing.

I had heard a lot about this place through social media, and being one that has never tried food from New Orleans, I decided to come by one day with a friend of mine. Upon my arrival, I witnessed them putting music on and opening the store. It had a very strong mom and pop feel, along with this feeling of joy as you heard the music and watched the people passing by. Little Jewel definitely established its first step with a musical entrance. The store is two parts, on the left, a small store, and on the right, a selection of drinks and desserts. You order at the register all the way to the left. All the way to your right, are the restrooms. We were fortunate to meet the owner's daughter along with another woman who served us with great service. They were very friendly and kind to show you how things worked. My friend and I ordered the following: Drinks: Orange soda, and an Abita Root beer Food: Zapp's chips, half and half extreme poboy, poutine fries, hush puppies, craw mac deluxe, pecan pie, strawberry cake, bread pudding, and a homemade praline with nuts. Yes, we ate all this. (Well, the last 10 percent was taken home) All the food, was extremely delicious in its own way, but there are some that definitely had an outstanding "wow" factor. The first and most recommended, are the hush puppies. The grandeur of this dish, is the sauce they give you, to dip the hush puppies in and eat it. That sauce, wow, just blew my mind away. It is a must when ordering here. Among the drinks, the Abita's Root Beer definitely had a purer taste than most root beers I've had, and I highly recommend it. Among the desserts, I loved first and foremost, the banana pudding, and second, the strawberry cake. The pecan is preferred for those who don't have too much of a sweet tooth but still enjoy good desserts. There is one however, that truly caught my attention. The bread pudding. This bread pudding has whiskey in it. I believe it is best described as an "acquired taste". It wasn't bad at all, but it definitely has quite the strong whiskey taste. For those who want to try something new, this is the dish for you. My experience here, was one of the best in my life, and I highly suggest anyone who lives or is visiting LA, to stop by this place. It is truly, an enriching experience, the experience, of New Orleans, in LA.

Took the family there last week. What an excellent dive. I had the Muffuletta and it was authentic. Other members had their fish and chip which were good and generous. This place is an easy Uber ride from a Downtown LA hotel and an unexpected gem in Chinatown.

I lives in New Orleans for 5 years and this lil place takes me back to the Mom and Pop shops from my Gentilly neighborhood. Great find in LA's China Town.

It was all good, it was all New Orleans! Loved the pulled pork with coleslaw! The muffaletta was good, filling, and full of meat, but I've never met one as good as Central Grocery in NOLA. Of course, Central Grocery's muffaletta is the one by which all others may be measured. The Hubert's lemonade was without a doubt the best bottled lemonade I've ever had. The vanilla pudding was not up to Southern standards, I'm afraid to say. We ordered one each, and one was soupy; the other was simply not thick enough. There weren't enough bananas in either, or vanilla wafers. The staff was cheerful, efficient and helpful. It's really a great little place for anyone craving New Orleans' "faster" food. I didn't try the seafood po' boys, but they smelled great!

As crazy as it sounds, this is a top notch Cajun joint smack-dab in the middle of LA's Chinatown area. Restaurant and grocery. My wife did a year of rotations at LSU and I've been to NOLA many, many times. We know Cajun - and this is the real deal. Awesomely done.

I have been here several times over the years, and I think did a very positive review a couple years ago. We went here on the weekend and spent about $60 on food to go. My wife wanted a Muffalata sandwich and we got an enormous one for about $20, if I recall correctly. I liked the flavor, but this is lacking compared to the best one that I had in South Padre Texas a few years back. FIrst of all, there is a good amount of meat, but for the price, they should add a few more slices. I was also disappointed that the olives and other veggies were not puried; we did this at home and it made for a much more consistent flavor. The oyster poboy was great. Expensive, but packed with oysters and delicious and I have no issue with this item and highly recommend it! The gumbo was a rip off. Perhaps we got a bad scoop, but it was mostly gumbo sauce and a few tiny shrimp. Complete ripoff for $16, in my opinion. If you want a fantastic gumbo, go to Stevie's on Pico (mid-city) and order the seafood gumbo and you will get what the famous writer Jonathan Gold describes as the best gumbo west of New Orleans. That gumbo is packed full of seafood and you will have a hard time saying that it is not worth $8 for a large gumbo. I do like this place, but cutting back on what you give your customers is not a long term secret to success, despite the fact that this is a very busy restaurant at the current time.

Chef Marcus brought his Cajun and Creole cuisine to Southern California. If you have been to New Orleans and miss those delicious entrees and desserts, this the place to visit. This established is nestled in Chinatown near Union Station (Downtown LA). The Little Jewel of New Orleans is a restaurant with a small market of Cajun and Creole spices,sauces,old school sodas and anything you may have experienced in Louisiana to take home. One visit and you're hooked forever. Here are some delicious suggestions: Jambalaya, Crawfish Macaroni and Cheese, Blackened Shrimp Po Boy (several choices of Po Boys), Blackened Swordfish Salad,New Orleans style Bread Pudding w/Whiskey and Oh my God Pecan pie. Oh yes, I forgot to mention the Beignets are out of this world. Chef Marcus offers daily specials. Check out the holiday menu. My family is from Louisiana and this spot makes them feel like home. Tourists and Angelenos you won't be disappointed. The prices are right and the atmosphere and music put in a NOLA. Walk in or order online.Bon Appetit.

PoBoys were good along with the Crawfish Mac N Cheese. The beignets were just ok. I did see this establishment on DDD anad had to try since I fell in love with them on my last trip to NOLA. I was not disappointed at all. It somewhat pricey compared to another establishment that I will check (York and Ord) but pay the money and enjoy the taste. I do recommend trying this and other places that say they serve NOLA food to get an idea as to the style of cooking. I will be returning again...

I flipped over this find in chinatown. The vibe is great, felt like a 19050's diner, with a little market inside and wood tables complete with hot sauces on top. We ordered Oyster Po Boy, Shrimp Po Boy, Gumbo/jumbalaya (they call it gumbalaya), hush puppies, roast beef sandwich and chocolate bread pudding with whisky sauce. Also took a massive muffaletta sandwich to go. Ok, Po Boys were superb, flavorful, not chintzy on the seafood and bread outrageous (flown in from New Orleans). The roast beef sandwich was dream inducing. Soft bread, beautifully shredded, tender roast beef, and slivered cabbage, home run. Hushpuppies were quite tasty. The gumbalaya I took to go for my husband, as I'm not really a fan of either gumbo or jumbalaya. Well, that was before Little Jewel of New Orleans. It was phenomenal, with the slightest hint of vinegar, I was ready to drive back last night for more! The muffaletta was huge ($18.99) but serves at least 4 people. My husband thought it was better than New Orleans, my son and I liked it, but perhaps just a hint too much oil, which really soaked into the bread. The chocolate bread pudding was quite tasty, though I thought it needed a bit more sauce. I am most definitely going back, must try the fried catfish and bring some of their homemade sausages home. The owner (?) Marcus really knows his Cajun Food.....

Ive had a lot of things on the menu, and i have never been disappointed. look for metered parking in the area if you plan to eat here.

This place is great ! Not only can you buy a Po boy , you can also buy staples only found in Orleans !

The place lives up to its name. Great variety of food and huge portions. I order half a muffuletta and still could only eat half of that. We also shared the Jambalaya fritters which were awesome. The 3 fritters could have been a meal in themselves.

Our group of 5 had lunch there while shopping on a Saturday afternoon. You order at the register and wait for your order to be prepared. Seating is limited and it was very crowded. The line was long to place an order so order your entire meal at one time. The menu has lots of great choices of New Orleans foods. Look on the breakfast menu for Beignets. 3 for $3. They were very good. The PO-Boy shrimp sandwich was great and large enough to share. The downside was limited table space and very slow service. The had a sign at the register stating "This is not fast food buy is New Orleans slow food" it might be hard to get in and out in a lunch hours we waited over 20 minuets for our food after we ordered. The have a wide selection of grocery items to take home that looked unusual. It is pricey. We paid 80 bucks for party of 5 for lunch with no desserts.

Every time I've been in here I've been received with open arms. Rodney one of the crew members that takes the orders is a mans man, knowledgeable with their beers and menu. I've never been steered wrong with any suggestions. Personally I love the following Po'boys: 1. Fried Shrimp Po'boy - ever so crispy and cajun-ee 2.BBQ Shrimp Po'boy - actually drenched in clarified butter! 3. Fish and chip Po'boy - why not just carry it on bread right! Genius! 4. Egg Plant Po'boy - for when I want meatless, this is damn filling. 5. Cat fish Platter - four pieces of damn delicious flaky cat fish 6. Deluxe Crawfish plate - Mac and cheese with cajun sausage and crawfish with shrimp to top it off and a side of corn bread!!! 7. Cochon De Lait - imagine pull porked then cajuned out! fracking delicious!!! These are in no particular order now that I think about it. I usually go with what I am feeling that day. All of their food can be classified as "Comfort". I am very curious about their Chicken and Waffles which I will try soon enough.

Wow. Cajun in Chinatown. A downtown jewel worth adding to the list. Po boy crab. Oh yeah. Fabulous Louisiana grocery. Coming back for sure. My chef friends were impressed.

This place just a couple of blocks away from Union Station, so perfect to stop in if you're waiting for a train. The massive po'boys are yum, and everything on the menu looked and smelled delicious. There's a huge selection of sodas and drinks on offer, as well as a grocery area where you can pick up hot sauce or snacks for the road. Throw in some free wi-fi and air conditioning, what more do you need?

This was our first try of po’ boys and they were fantastic. Huge creations with some much flavour. The fries were equally great and I bought some of the creole seasoning they have on the table to take home with me to recreate them!

Po Boys, Jambalaya, Pecan Pie and broiled oysters are just some of the things I have eaten.fried oyster, soft shell crab, shrimp are some of the Po Boys I've eaten. Great deserts, tons of great soda drinks, huge portions, nice people and GREAT CAJUN FOOD.
