Kickin Kajun, a delicious Hawaiian take on Louisiana Cuisine, opens at the Landing

Last night several members of my household enjoyed fresh seafood at one of the Landing’s newest restaurants, Kickin Kajun.  My wife Cathy, our son Danny, his fiancee Julie,  and I went for a late dinner around 8:00 PM.  We  gave ourselves just enough time to finish our fun, interactive dining experience right before their 9:00 closing.  Bibs and gloves were provided to us before our food arrived.  Cathy, Danny, and I shared a crawfish boil that included crawfish, mussels, clams, sausage, potatoes and corn on the cob in our choice of sauce.  We enjoyed their signature sauce which has some Korean spices in it, and next time for variety we’ll try their L0uisiana Style which is closer to what we would find in the South. Julie (who’s not as much of a fan of shellfish) enjoyed breaded fried catfish and chips, and she was served a large enough portion that she could share.  We had plenty of delicious food for the four of us, and the price was very affordable for seafood.  Their complete menu can be found here.

Kickin Kajun is a Hawaiian chain established in 2012, and this is their first restaurant in Washington.  We were warmly greeted by Ava, one of the four business partners who owns the Renton restaurant. At our prompting, she filled us in on the chain’s successful history and we talked about their popular Hawaiian locations on Oahu.  She and the rest of the staff were attentive and made the experience top notch.  Kickin Kajun is a great new Renton option for those of us that enjoy seafood, and in particular Seafood boils which are not available everywhere.

Their restaurant can be found at the Landing, 800 N 10th St, at the suite formerly occupied by the Balanced Athlete. I’m grateful to Ava and her partners for choosing Renton for their restaurant!
