  • I so want to give them 2 stars but the service is great and friendly. Unfortunately, I don't know what people who come here and claim it to be better than, or as good as Hot n Juicy are thinking. They must be smoking something as much as this restaurants namesake is smokin'. The "oil" they refer to at HNJ is butter. They are right; the oil is not here but the juice is also just watered down and pretty bland. I rather they use butter and make a tasty boil of some sort. Mainly, I come for the shrimp. I've ordered 3 types now. Honestly, I can make better shrimp at home, and I hardly call myself a cook, besides the literal form (as in no longer raw when I am done with it). The garlic is too big to flavor the shrimp. Maybe if they cut it into tiny pieces, the flavor would come out. Add some spices, salt, etc. I just don't feel the shrimp has any taste. The flavor is just not there. Some people want to drink the juice from HNJ like a soup but this is more like the water left over from rinsing the HNJ pot. If you went to Cravin Cajun or whatever District 1 was called before switching to their bland oxtail pho and not making crawfish and shrimp, this place has shrimp that's below their shrimp. Yeah that bad. At least Raging had bigger shrimps to offset the lack of taste compared to HNJ. Smokin lacks both size and taste. That's not good. I tried the fried oysters and it was good. Nothing to write my mom about, and if you did. Uh, say hi to your mom. The extra mild here is indeed extra mild and the mild is indeed mild, versus HNJ where the extra mild is more like mild and still has a little kick to it. So, in that department they hit the nail on the head. The place is clean and bright. Service is awesome. I just feel bad for them because I cannot see them around in a year or two. Maybe they will go from making shrimp and crawfish to making an oxtail pho too, decorate themselves with a bow or two and call themselves District 2, Mocking Shrimp. So overall great people but very average taste. I'll stick to the first and only shrimp place for me, across the street ( and down the street).
