I will say that Kickin Kajun in Honolulu is an extremely popular resturant. I went, and was incredibly disappointed, but everyone else there was in heaven.

I think this is true with a lot of the successful "cajun" places outside of Louisiana. Owners have to tweak their recipes to cater to the local crowd to keep them coming back. I know one place in Tennessee that really cut back on the seasoning to make it more bland and used more hot sauce to please the locals. I thought the food was bad and talked to the owner, he ended up cooking me another plate without doing that and it was pretty good.
