206 BCE Anaheim Packing District — Restaurant in Anaheim

Located on the bottom floor of the Anaheim Packing House is the 206 BCE, an interesting fusion restaurant between Cajun and Vietnamese cuisine. The first thing that jumped out at my dad and I were the anti-gravity noodles, an intriguing context that was worth a try. My dad also grabbed an extra side of Cajun fries. The server was friendly and helpful, she kindly explained what was in each item.

The buzzer for the meal went off about 15-20 minutes after we ordered. I was amazed by their presentation, the noodles were actually floating! After snapping a few pictures, we got ready to dig in. That was when I realized the biggest con with the anti gravity feature, the noodles wrapped around the chopsticks were cold. But luckily, the noodles were flavorful and well seasoned so that outweighs the negative until I took a bite of the sausage. That sausage was awful, it tasted like I drank a bottle of liquid smoke and the shrimp was exactly the same. If you ever order this dish, get it without proteins because the noodles are good by itself.

The Cajun fries on the other end were just a disappointment overall. They were cold before we even sat down and the potatoes were soft and flimsy. There was zero crunch and the seasoning was just mediocre. I wasn’t the biggest fan...

The storefront is really eye-catching with their lantern decoration and Asian cart market style with a lot of Asian snacks I haven't seen before. It does take a while for them to make the food (~15 minutes) but they give you a buzzer so you can wander around Anaheim Packing District while you wait. There's plenty of seating all around but parking was hard to find on a Friday night within 1 hour of closing.

We got the garlic butter shrimp ($18.50) which we thought was expensive until we picked up our order which was in a party tray. The portion was big enough for 2 so we were both full after sharing it. They give you gloves which are great for keeping your hands clean when squeezing the limes. They used a generous amount of garlic on the shrimp and rice. The shrimp itself was good and somewhat crispy. Thought they tasted a lot better with some lime and Sriracha since they didn't soak up as much of the garlic butter flavor as...

I got the Cajun shrimp platter and it was delicious! I got it medium spicy. They have 3 levels: mild, medium, and hot. It's one pound of shrimp and it also came with 2 potatoes and a piece of corn and rice. The potatoes were a bit on the hard/crunchy side but were still good. Personally I like my potatoes to be a little more soft. I like that it came with rice too beacuse you can scoop some up with the cajun sauce from the shrimp and it's ohh so good! Overall it was soo tasty and just what I was in the mood for that day! P.s. my friend and I were sitting/eating at one of the tables across from this vendor and we were there for a bit eating and catching up and I'm not exaggerating but at least 8 or more people kept asking us where we had gotten our food from because it looked so delicious! And of course we pointed them to the right...
