My all time favorite seafood boil place. They are open till 4am so it's a great place for late night munchies. Pro tip if you come after 11pm you get a free pound of any seafood. My go to is also ways one of their combos with sweet California with mild spice. The grilled oysters are always a hit as an appetizer if you are feeling extra hungry. The restaurant is pretty small so I wouldn't recommend coming with a group lager than 4 unless you come during off hours

73. Combination Fried Rice / Cơm Chiên Dương Châu
Khai T.

I've came here regularly but the quality was down recently: - The crawfish had less sauce than before, and the garlic noodles were overcooked. - The combination fried rice was kinda wet, it should be drier to get the authentic taste of fried rice. By the way, the service was friendly and fast. The restaurant was clean and had a lot of seats.

My friend and I were sooo excited to come here since we came here before and the food was very good. We came in on Wednesday at around 6pm and there was no wait and only 2 other parties inside, however it did take 40 min for the food to come out. We ordered the sweet California 3 pound combo- it was definitely NOT what we got last time. Instead of a garlic buttery sweet sauce it was just straight up CLUMPS of mayo- I even had to double check with the staff that it was sweet California. Also got the garlic parm noodles and they were overcooked and falling apart. The noodles tasted like they were covered in mayo too. Overall I'm really sad that this was a disappointing experience since we were looking forward to it and it took so long to come out. Not a single customer or food delivery person who came in had their food out in anything close to "on time". They were always told 10 more minutes for 30 to go by. We hate wasting food and this was not a cheap meal. 3lb combo was $2 extra if 2lb were crawfish (which is what we ordered) and we could not finish it. It was truly inedible because it was just clumps of mayo :(

Mussels

I went here with a group of friends for the first time, after we had a craving for seafood boil. This place offered mussels, crawfish, shrimp, and clams, with 1-pound bowls, 3-pound combos, or 4-pound combos, along with corn, sausage, and potatoes. I ordered a pound of mussels with the Sweet California sauce (Original Louisiana and Lemon Pepper were other options), potatoes, and a side of sticky rice. The sauce was DELICIOUS! I felt like my serving of mussels was very generous, steamy, and flavorful. Service was a bit slow, however, we also did eat-in on a Saturday evening in a full restaurant. I'll definitely be coming back!

I've been eyeing Cajun Bistro 7 for awhile now. Located in the very busy shopping mall where parking is a headache sometimes. I got a takeout order, but the service was ok - not bad. The decor is simple and modest. They do have several tables that they can moved together if you have a large party of 8+. I do like that they open up til late hours. Garlic Parmesan Noodles (3/5) - They gave a decent portion, which was a plus. The noodles used in my order were Linguine noodles and a bit overcooked. The flavor was mild and bland. Not one of the better tasting garlic noodles I've had. I'll be back to try their other dishes.

Used to be my favorite seafood boil spot because of their Sweet California sauce but they changed the recipe and I'm surprised that not many people have mentioned it. It tastes so heavily of mayonnaise now and has lost that signature Sweet California flavor. Not sure what happened but I noticed this change after they became viral on TikTok.. weird.

4lbs of straight crawfish combo medium Louisiana style

Yes it's open late and sometimes they can run out of crawfish but it's sooo good. The place is a little small but it's a great place to go and destroy seafood. Service is nice and the combo gets you corn, sausage, and potato. I almost always get at least 3lbs of crawfish and maybe 1lb of clams and drown the rice in the sauce and you can't go wrong.

Lamb chops and fries 5/5

I love this seafood boil place! I've been on the hunt for a new favorite seafood place and this one is it. I love their fresh seafood taste, especially the combo boil with their Sweet California flavor. It's creamy, not too sweet and has a nice savory kick. My family loves their shaken beef and garlic noodles plate, the lamb chops plate and on a few occasions I've ordered their Bun Rieu and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I didn't think a place that excelled so well in their seafood boil game would be able to also make delicious soup, but this place nails it! The garlic noodles here are silky and tasty, the meat here is grilled to perfection and the soup is filled with all kinds of delicious morsels like the chunky fried tofu in a rich, flavorful tomato based broth. Their service is quick and friendly, you only need to raise a hand and they're quick to check on you for water refills. The restaurant is a small hole-in-the-wall type of vibe but its charming. They have about several tables and it can get very busy. I always see a ton of people phoning in for pickup orders . I like to make it before the dinner rush because on a typical Thursday night I've heard them quote a 2 hr wait. Bistro 7 shares the parking lot in a very busy shopping plaza so also be prepared to drive around looking for parking.

45. Boiling Shrimp: Sweet California
Rizza V.

Service 2/5: had to ask twice for straws, they forgot about our order of fries so it came when we were almost done with our meal Ambiance 3/5: dirty but homey, no music so it was awkward you can hear people cough and sneeze, appreciated how gloves and napkins were on the table Shrimp spicy sweet california 4/5: creamy, sweet, spicy, tangy, unique, shrimp was plump & cooked well Garlic noodles with shaken beef 4/5: needed more garlic, soy sauce plenty of beef and noodles, big portion Fries with cajun seasoning 2/5: wish they served normal cajun fries, cajun seasoning separate, seasoning hit the back of your throat, fries resembled mcdonalds

Skip the wait at boiling crab and come here. The food was delicious! Small and Simple restaurant setting. Food was yummy and no wait time. Lots of options for those who might not eat seafood.

Crawfish with Eggs!
Van N.

Me and my boyfriend went to Cajun Bistro 7 for crawfish. We've been craving it for a while so this place really hit the spot. We ordered the 3 pound combo with 2 pounds of crawfish and 1 pound of shrimp. We chose the lemon pepper sauce which tasted more like a coconut curry to me, but it was equally delicious. To my surprise, about 80 percent of the crawfish had eggs, which is my favorite part whenever I'm lucky enough to get it. That definitely had to be the highlight of the meal. We also ordered a side of French fries that came out crispy and hot from the fryer. The fish sauce wings were another standout item, very fragrant, perfectly seasoned, and served piping hot. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the seafood was cooked just right. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone craving crawfish or seafood boils. I hope to get more crawfish with eggs next time because that made the experience even better. The only downside was that the restaurant didn't have any music playing, so it felt a bit awkward during quiet moments. It's easy to overhear other tables if you're not talking much. The staff did their job efficiently, taking orders, serving food, and keeping things moving, but there wasn't much warmth or personality in the service. Overall, it was a satisfying meal that definitely fulfilled our crawfish cravings.

Without a doubt the best seafood boil in the Bay! Love this Asian twist on seafood boil, and the fact that it's open until 4am?! Unheard of in San Jose. No frills restaurant that has a variety of different viet dishes but the star of the show is their seafood boil! The shrimp they use is so fresh, big, and juicy. I always get the sweet California and it's such a unique flavor, slightly sweet and creamy but still has the garlicky and Cajun punch to it. I also love that they have gloves for you to use! I've tried a couple of their sides (garlic noodles, fries, and wings) but they aren't really anything to write home about, if I were to come here I'd just get the seafood boil. Restaurant itself is decently sized but don't expect anything super fancy. Super standard service, family run with moderate wait times for food. Will forever be my go to for seafood boil!

Are you guys really open til 4:00am?

Yes, they are open til 4am.

Is there carbs or sugar in the original Louisiana sauce (i.e. flour, corn starch, sugar, etc...)?

I think so, it's spicy sauce with mayo I believe

The pork and shrimp net egg rolls were perfectly crispy and packed with flavor, and the bánh khọt egg rolls were just as amazing. I loved wrapping everything in the fresh greens they provided, dipping each bite into the fish sauce, and adding a little sriracha for extra kick. Yes, the fish sauce smell lingers on your hands, but it's completely worth it because the flavors are incredible. There's plenty of parking since it's located in a strip mall, which made it easy and convenient to visit. If you love crispy-style egg rolls, I highly recommend this spot. I'll definitely be stopping by every time I'm in the area.

Thank you for having this spot in ESSJ and I'll be back for their catering trays for my next gathering.

It was a really hot day on a Wednesday when we came by. Inside felt stuffier than outside so we opted to sit outside. We did an early lunch slightly before noon, but even on a weekday there were a lot of other customers. Devin got the #1 Special Rice Roll and I got the #10 Bun Rieu. I was a bit skeptical of getting a hot noodle soup on a hot day, but I figured it'd be great to find a solid bun rieu spot closer to me than my current defaults all the way in Milpitas. The #1 came out first and rather quickly, the #10 took a bit longer but wasn't a long wait by any means. The first thing I noticed was that the plate of add-ins was rather unique, I've never received perilla leaves or banana flowers with my bun rieu before. The broth had great flavor and this soup did come with pork blood cubes. I would definitely come back for the bun rieu. Hot soup noodle soup on a hot day wasn't actually so bad. I tried some of the Special Rice Rolls and felt unsure, maybe it's an acquired taste but I wasn't an immediate fan.

We ordered a large bun Bo hue, a large pho luc lac, fried rice with ribeye cooked medium level (as recommended), Bo luc lac with tomato flavored rice, and a chicken pho ap chao to share amongst 3 adults and 4 kids. Everything we ordered was delicious, tasty, and the portion size were very good and perfect for sharing. I was pleasantly surprised with the pho ap chao, it was really tasty and crispy and a dish I have not tried before. We really enjoyed everything but the Bo luc lac (shaken beef) was super tender and the beef was flavorful! This is a must try in my opinion! This restaurant is clean and tidy and has cute decors of bamboo hats hung from the ceiling and remind me of being back in Vietnam again. Staffs were attentive as customers entered. Plenty of parking spaces in the plaza. I will definitely come back here for everything I tried during my visit and to try more when in the area or on the way back from Santa Cruz. This will also be a great place to grab Togo for picnics or for hiking as well! My kids are already asking to come back to the restaurant after our first time there. So glad to know of another Vietnamese restaurant that has so many yummy dishes in SJ!

The meat is so soft (I ask for medium rare) and it's cooked perfectly. It's super easy to eat and the flavor is so yummy. The red rice has a nice flavor and buttery taste to it. One thing I wanted to note is that I asked for no bell peppers and they cooked the onions perfectly. It's soft and pairs so well. I would definitely not ask for the do chua (carrot and daikon) and just sub it for extra lettuce next time. I'm literally craving the shaken beef plate again omg I gotta go back asap! Next time, I definitely want to dine in and try their other menu items as well :)
