Lucky Jean Seafood

Just ordered the boiled shrimps and crawfish, didn’t try much else. Their boils are pretty decent

Had a shrimp po boy. Gave me stale shrimp n soggy bread. =(Had better po boys before

Lucky Jean Seafood is ran by a group of happy, energetic, fun and friendly people. Their energy lights up the place, but the restaurant itself lacks any charm. There are tables to dine in the restaurant, but the walls are barren and the colors are drab; I would just recommend getting your food to go.
I was lured to the place by the sign outside stating that they sold seafood by the pound and the constant flow of traffic didn’t hurt either. Well, when I entered and saw the large container of Crawfish on the counter, I was super excited. Once I got that first crawfish in my mouth, it further increased my excitement. It was really good. Great flavor and spicy!
I ordered a plate of their General T’So Shrimp with Shrimp Fried Rice. The Shrimp was over breaded (like most Chinese places) and very saucy. The flavoring wasn’t bad on the shrimp. What killed it for me was the rice. It wasn’t that great and although it was edible, I wasn’t in love with it.
I really wanted some Chicken Wings, so I ordered them on the side. I really enjoyed them. The were tender, crunchy but not over battered and beautifully flavored.
I notice a few people were picking up these cakes on the counter. I grab one for myself and saw that it was called Gooey Cake. I had never heard of it before, but it was soooo good. I went back to Lucky Jean’s a few times after this and every time, I had to pick one up.
The food here was fresh and on the most part tasted good. I think that there main focus is the seafood and what I have tasted was good, but the Chinese food they serve leaves something to be desired.

This was a random restaurant down the street from the Super 8 motel we were staying at. We drove by it every day on our way back to the hotel, and never thought much of it. But after searching EVERYwhere for some blue crabs only to realize no one had any due to the hurricane right before we got there, we decided «hey, why not give it a shot.» So we walked in, and behold! A giant container of huge fresh, steamed blue crabs for only $ 1.29 each! Jackpot! I guess this asian owned restaurant had connections to some boat that no one else in the city had or something. We had just eaten, so we bought just half a dozen for the two of us and took it to the hotel room to eat. When we were done, we just sat there and stared at each other licking our lips. We just had to get more! So off we trekked to buy another half dozen. The people behind the counter were really nice. They picked the heaviest, biggest crabs for us. It was delicious! Perfectly cooked with loads of juicy, plump crab meat, with just a hint of seasoning on the outside that doesn’t overpower the sweetness of the crab. Only downside? They had no lemons.
I can’t say too much about the rest of the food. The food sitting on the boilers didn’t look terribly appetizing. We tried some of their boiled shrimp. The seasoning was delicious, but you could tell the shrimp had been sitting there a little too long. I’m not surprised though. The location is too random to generate too much business. Plus, it’s pretty ghetto. The area around it is pretty run down, complete with construction all over the place and abandoned hotels/​buildings. The next day, we were picking up more crabs when one of the workers stuck her head in from the front door and exclaimed with a mixture of humor and disbelief, «They just stole our mop and bucket!»
Long story short, get the crabs, buy your own lemons, and eat your crabs elsewhere.

I’ve only had the gumbo so this review is based on that. Gumbo isn’t great, but its not bad. Has smoked sausage, chicken, okra, shrimp and rice. Has a good amount of shrimp, but they are small and i’m not even sure if its Gulf shrimp. Wish they had put more rice, chicken, and sausage. Will go back and try the boiled seafood and veggies and jambalaya.
