Union Cajun Seafood & Wings — Restaurant in City of Schenectady

I have ordered here 2 times so far and the food does not disappoint. The boils are amazing and honestly one of the best seafood boils I’ve had in the capital region. They give you a generous amount of food every time, there is no skimping on food with this place and it is flavorful. I did go ahead and add some oldbay to my boil for the extra spice but other than that, I love the boils and it hit the spot! I also just want to point out that this place gives you an egg with your boil, NO other place in the capital region has done that.... ever. I used to always see seafood boils from other states on Instagram and they would always include the boiled egg (& I love boiled eggs) but I hadn’t experienced that until this place opened. So I was impressed! I also tried a fruit tea, I wasn’t a huge fan of it but that’s because of my taste palate and wanting to try something new but it was tasty and I did finish it. Definitely...

We live in the area and doubt we will be back again. Seafood combos (choice of crab, shrimp, mussels, crawfish and lobster with included corn on the cob, boiled egg, potato, slice of sausage) pricy for greasy Upper Union st takeout. The menu does have other options besides seafood. I tried the “drums”: Huge chicken legs “butterflied” and deep fried a good value at 5 for $10. Chicken wings in greasy thick “garlic butter” sauce (there are other sauce options, this one was disappointing!). Cole slaw was pretty foul tasting. About the best thing we had was the fruit tea (Lychee); the coconut bubble tea tasted awful, from a powder mix or the like. At $5/drink, not a good value. I have lived in Niskayuna since 1988 and hate panning a new local eatery but I would be surprised if they were still in business...

I mean it was ok. worth trying i guess. I went for crawfish and I must say that if they didn't skimp on the sauce which really had no substance at all, maybe my boil would have been better. that watery sauce does not hold a candle to the boil shack, Aqua boil, Shaking crab etc. even if I lived in Schenectady Id go to the boil shack because their boils are wayyyyy more flavorful that Bonchon. It was ok but I will not be riding out to Schenectady again for it. Its nothing to write home...
