Reviews for The Little Jewel of New Orleans in Los Angeles, CA
Saw this place on DDD and wanted to check it out post covid craziness. Finally went and the food was great, except the beignets... I wouldn't order again which were chewy and not airy. The place definitely has an eclectic dive bar vibe, but we dug it. Willbe back again when in the area. Pictured: fried okra, creole pulled pork sandwich, hush puppies, beignet, and shrimp and sausage mac. Read more
Delicious place true to its Cajun name. It really does taste like food from Louisiana, is well priced, and has a great interior... vibe. Got the craw-mac deluxe (shrimp and sausage), and it came out hot and delicious! Lots of options to choose from. Read more
Plenty of veg options including the Vegetarian French Fry Po?Boy, which was essentially disco fries inside of a delicious loaf... of bread along with some veggies- absolutely amazing. The market was closed but they still had a few snacks you could buy. Read more
The establishment is kinda old. We tried the oyster poboy, hot sausage poboy, shrimp, half/half poboy and seafood platter. The... food had a kick to it. Everyone loved their poboys. The seafood platter was just ok. Beignets were dense and average. Overallpretty good food and good service. Read more
Craw Mac Deluxe - crawfish, shrimp, andouille sausage w/ side of corn bread / 5 ????! I have know about Little Jewel for a long... time now. I go once or twice a year. The owner/chef is often there and he is a boisterous and fun character who clearly caresabout his guests. I have had many po boys here but the chef turned me on to the craw mac a while ago and I often find myselfthinking about it, it is that good. It has a Cajun spice to it and it is loaded with proteins. You have to order the deluxe toget the side of corn bread and I recommend it to mop up the juices. Chinatown has been home recently to some excellent culinarycreative chefs but Little Jewel has been around since it transformed into a foodie zone. Check them out if you're in the areaand are hankering for some Cajun cuisine. Read more
The food is good and thei portions are generous. However, the po'boy sandwich has a spicy sauce and I couldn't finish it.... Aside from being huge and not placing the order myself the sandwich definitely has potential. I'd like to try the pasta becauseit looks delicious Read more
Talk about a true jewel.. more like gem. This place does creole food right and I mean right. You cannot go wrong with anything... on the menu. The must get items for first time people are the shrimp po boy, a side whether it?s zucchini sticks or mozzarellasticks, and a delicious drink. This place is an easy 5 stars for food and the service is pretty fast for how fresh it is. Sogood and a must Read more
Had a wonderful muffaletta at Little Jewel of New Orleans near Union Station for lunch today. I don't get to treat myself very... often (usually eat while driving) for lunch. This hit the spot. Read more
