I went to Cajun Kitchen to grab lunch, and I thought my gumbo was very good--great flavor and tasty, rich broth. The two reasons I don't give Cajun Kitchen a higher rating were that the service wasn't very friendly, and the restaurant smelled like fish, in a bad way (maybe it's the fish tanks?). read more

This is quite pricey for crawfish especially when you have to order sides (staple potatoes and sausage) ala carte! The current market price for 1pound is $8.99 but $9.99 if you want the thai basil or kitchen flavor. They also charge for extra garlic which other places do not. I came with 3 friends and we got seated fairly quick on a Sunday night around 7:30pm. It was crowded but service was terrible. We ended up ordering 2 bowls of three pounds of the kitchen flavor for two of the guests and two pounds of garlic and two pounds of kitchen. They first delivered the three pound kitchen crawfish then ours two pound of garlic came out. The other two pounds of kitchen came out about 10 minutes later. 15 minutes in we're still waiting for my friends three pounds of kitchen and after letting our server (or multiple servers) know, it's like they didn't remember and said they would check back with the kitchen. They never came back. 20 minutes in, we had to call the server back and let them know we still hadn't gotten the order. We told the lady server that if the order didn't get processed yet, to cancel because we didn't want to wait especially since we were almost done eating. The lady comes back and tell us the order slip "must have fallen" and that they can cancel the order since it didn't go through yet. This is terrible customer service in my opinion! All they could do is give an apology and then another server puts an empty bowl in front of my friend as an extra bowl for us to put the shells in. It was ironic and sad at the same time for my friend. Other restaurant managers or staff I know would have gone through with the order, comped it or gave something else. My friend was hungry and for him to wait and watch us eat our crawfish was just wrong. I wasn't amazed by this place. The crawfish was not large, they even charge if you want a bigger crawfish size so I see this place like delta and spirit airlines. Nickeling and diming you for everything. As for the flavors, the kitchen is not that special. It's just a bunch of spices, citrus to make it sweet and onions. It was a little sweet for me. The garlic was just ok even as a medium, it'll make you sweat. Instead of the garlic flavor being on the outside of the shell, the crawfish barely took on any garlic flavor itself unless I dipped it back into the sauce. read more

The food is garbage I ordered a Cajun gumbo with chicken and sausage it only had four slices of sausage and three little bitty pieces of chicken the rest was all nothing but chicken broth or whatever broth it was I want a refund I am so upset this place needs to get my complaint to the better Business bureau which I'm going to do I need my refund, also the bread was hard as a rock, I am personally going tomorrow going to file my complaint directly with them read more

This place has been my go-to crawfish spot for years now, and they never disappoint. While the prices are a bit higher than most of the crawfish/seafood spots you may visit, the extra cost is definitely worth it for the quality of food you'll be getting. The crawfish are always big, clean, fresh, and pack tons of flavor. The Thai basil sauce is a MUST, but I've also done the cajun, garlic butter, and the kitchen special, and they're all winners. (Extra spicy if you're feeling adventurous- but beware!) I've eaten in, had it delivered, and have taken it to go, and the quality and flavor is always consistent! read more

Just eh. Picked up a to go order of crawfish because I've heard great things about this place. Got extra spicy and garlic, it wasn't very spicy or garlicky lol. It wasn't bad just not amazing. The people working were nice and attentive and it was pretty crowded, so worth giving a shot! read more

Good place for crawfish. There are a lot of tables inside, but it can get very crowded at times. Parking is not hard to find. I ordered the kitchen special seasoning with medium spice. It is slightly sweet and is more on the asian side. The flavor is amazing, and the crawfish are big and juicy. I usually like some spice to my food, and the medium spice made my lips even plumper and naturally red, so beware of the spice level if you can't handle a lot of spicy foods. I really enjoyed it though. You can order mild and add the spice yourself. I also tried their bowl of gumbo, which came with a scoop of white rice on top and their lemon pepper wings. Both were very good. Service was not bad, but the wait was extremely long to get our food, so be prepared to wait. I'm not sure if it was just a bad night or the wait is usually long after you order, but still worth coming back for because I liked the food. read more

10/10! Now my favorite crawfish spot. Flavor was , spicy was ACTUALLY spicy! Service was and the restroom was actually clean!

I Found This Place On Uber Eats. They Have Some Really Good Food. Their Boil Seafood: Crawfish Shrimp Crab Legs Corn Potatoes Are My Favorite. Their Turkey Necks Are Good But I Usually Ask Them To Cook Longer Cause It Still Be Kinda Tough. Their Fried Seafood Baskets And Chicken Wings Are So Good & My Usual but I Just Tried The Fried Rice a Few Months Ago. They Have Really Good Specials. The Best Thing About This Place Is Most of All Their Seafood Is Fresh Not Frozen. The Service Is Awesome. Everybody Is So Chill & Nice. They Are On Instagram To See More of Live Seafood. This My Favorite Spot On SW Houston. read more

update to my update! They now how the 'cray-cray' spice level which has habanero in it... LOTS OF IT. WINNERRRRR! I get the cray-cray level with the kitchen special flavor and boy, does it make my tummy happy! Order their new item, Garlic noodles with lump crab! It's wonderful and with the garlic, I mean, how can you go wrong?!?! I was there this past weekend and they are getting their crawfish in from California and let me tell you, these crawfish were big!!! The heads were nice and juicy! If you eat crawfish and do not suck the heads, you're missing out big time! Not like the little tiny ones from LA. I was quite pleased! read more

Cajun Kitchen - Cray-cray spice level with kitchen special with big crawfish from California - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

In a desperate (and I mean freaking des-per-ate) attempt to find live crawfish, I stumbled upon this place. It was my last resort, and as the rating states, the crawfish were just A-OK. Nothing spectacular, but hey... beggars can't be choosers, and after a 2 day search for mudbugs I was literally begging for some. Finding live crawfish this early in the game is like going on a witch hunt. After harassing 4 other spots, I had almost given up. Cajun Kitchen said they were re-upping at 4 pm on Sunday, so I gave in after reading the decent reviews. They have beer, liquor, wine, sake, and also offer BYOB. Arriving at 3:30 meant we could get our drink on for 30 minutes. Our waitress was very nice, quick, attentive, and I really appreciated her hustle. We started with 2 lb of the "Kitchen Special" and 2 lb of "Garlic Blend". I wasn't nearly as impressed as many other reviewers. The Garlic Blend literally just felt like a bunch of chopped garlic and maybe some butter. The Kitchen Special was definitely tastier, but it was just butter, oranges, scallions, and onions - a little sweet with some tang, but nothing like Boiling Crab's/Crawfish Heaven's ridiculously tasty sauce. RIP Boiling Crab. We had the genius idea to mix our Garlic Blend and Kitchen Special together, and it was slightly better this way. I don't like that the corn and potatoes are served separately without any seasoning. Our second round consisted of 2 more lb of Kitchen Special and 2 lb of the Thai Basil. The Thai Basil was basically the Garlic Blend with thai basil and maybe more butter. It was definitely my favorite of the whole bunch, but still doesn't hold a candle to the other competing cray-sauces in Houston. For spiciness, we ordered the medium for all the crawfish... come mid-meal I was sucking on ice cubes and fanning myself. I think anything more than medium would have me crying salty cajun tears. The crawfish are still tiny and expensive at this time of year, and they price at $8.99/lb - $10.99, but that has nothing to do with the 3 star rating. The oily, underwhelming sauce was the cause of my average rating, and I probably won't be back... unless they are still the only ones holding live crawfish. Then I'll probably see them every weekend until the other places get their stuff together. read more

To the owners response: Thank you for your response. I'm sorry, but you weren't there when this had happened. I did not give an attitude right off the bat and I did not roll my eyes at her. I said that I did not want the crawfish and that they could just throw it away and that I would pay for it so theres no way for someone to make a statement like that and give an attitude. As for the oyster comment, i meant they weren't cut. But instead of dissecting all of my comments, shouldn't you take it into consideration and figure out why I was unsatisfied. read more

Keeping it quick and simple on this one... [Crawfish Flavors: Rating] 1. Kitchen - 4/5 2. Thai Basil - 5/5 Personally, I definitely would go back again. I officially am declaring Cajun Kitchen's Thai basil... my new favorite sauce for the 2013 crawfish season. Haha. Kitchen flavor is tasty too. Just wish they wouldn't put so much of the lemon+ grilled onions in the "kitchen" flavor batch. I think it weighs it down a bit. Service - Honestly, we were the only people in there that day so we had the best service in the entire world. ;) but I cannot guarantee that on a busy Friday or Saturday night. Good luck! read more

This was my first time here and I enjoyed the crawfish. We started off with Boudain balls, then raw oysters. We had sausage and turkey necks with our crawfish. The Boudain balls were good. They tasted like Boudain is supposed to taste minus the spicy. They were not spicy at all, but very flavorful. I believe there's about 6 Boudain balls per order. Sorry, I started eating before I counted them. The oysters were the regular raw oysters. They also have different flavors of grilled oysters too. The oysters were served with horseradish, cocktail sauce and lemons. I asked for Tabasco sauce. Not much to tell here. They were fresh and in a short period of time, gone! My friend ordered the jumbo crawfish with the kitchen seasoning and turkey necks. I tasted the crawfish and although the seasoning was good, I didn't think they were worth the extra money. The turkey necks were large and my friend said they were spicy and delicious. I'll have to take her word for it. I ordered the standard garlic butter crawfish which were delicious. I know a lot of other places that are charging $6.99 but for $1.00 more, these were worth it. They were a good mix of medium with large crawfish and the sausage was an entire link. Yikes! I wasn't expecting that much sausage, but being the greedy foodie that I am, I ate it all. We went on a beautiful Saturday afternoon about 1:30. The restaurant wasn't crowded so our service was great. Cajun Kitchen is in a strip center, but parking wasn't an issue. We both parked in front of the door. This may not be the case when they're busy. Overall, I enjoyed my lunch but not enough to make this my new go to place for crawfish. read more

I came here on a Saturday night with a group of 9, and we ended up waiting for about 30 minutes to be seated. It's not very spacious, so the majority of the party needed to be there prior to our seating. Cajun Kitchen is one of the better locations you'd go to for crawfish! It was my first time here so I didn't know what to expect, but I surely was not disappointed. Thai Basil Crawfish (4/5) - So delicious and flavorful! The crawfish ranged from large to teeny-weeny. The Asian-y taste kind of replaced the Cajun-y taste, but this wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Garlic Noodles (5/5) - The next time I come to Cajun Kitchen will probably be just for the garlic noodles. So bomb... and a huge portion too. This is great for family style. I would give this place a five stars if I could, but the service was horrible. I had two waitresses give me unnecessary attitude when I asked for extra bowls. Other than that, great place to satisfy your Cajun cravings :) read more

One of the better places to get your crawfish in the Houston area. I've tried the kitchen sink and garlic butter flavors. Both were good choices, it all depends on what you are in the mood for. The kitchen sink has a sweet kind of tangy sauce with sliced lemons, green and white onions, garlic, and a bunch of other secret ingredients that I probably wouldn't guess correctly. It's a different route to take if you are tired of the same 'ol garlic butter all the Asian crawfish places serve. Crawfish was a bit small here 2 or 3 weeks ago, but I had some the other day and they were medium to large size. I'm sure they will get much bigger as the weeks pass on. The crawfish here is fresh, never had any taste frozen. The oyster nachos were good but, in my opinion, only enough for two to share. The grilled oysters aren't Acme Oyster house quality but pretty good for Chinatown. The girls serving us are always nice and very quick to refill our drinks or check up on us. If you are looking for some solid crawfish, come here! read more

I came here with a group of friends for the first time and I loved it all. The crawfish smothered with buttered garlic is to die for! If you're livin' in the south, you have to had some crawfish. These crawfish bowls were licked clean from finger to finger. The oysters also topped off my night. I don't know what they put in them, but I was so satisfied and wanted to order more and more. Seafood tastes great, but it will get pricey. If you want to get down and dirty, come try out their crawfish and oysters. You're going to need a bib and a towel! read more

Just in absolute LOVE with Cajun Kitchen. Their seafood is delicious, flavorful, and spicy. I've been here in both in season for crawfish and off. Days when is packed like a mug and then slow. I've had very good experience with the food and the wait staff. The wait staff are quick, friendly, and informative. During their crawfish off season, they get their crawfish from California or Oregon. The Oregon crawfish are consisted jumbo size with the California are mixed medium and large. Either one taste great but I honestly couldn't tell the difference in taste. The tails are different but in the end, taste amazing in their "kitchen" flavor spices. Their oysters are also amazing. I've had them raw and even in their special marinades. My favorite is the Oyster Vietnam and Thailand. Drooling.... Their crab fried rice is okay. I think it's only good when it's fresh and hot. My sister in law got the blackened tilapia plate which she enjoyed. The broccoli was huge and fresh looking. My go to order is the "Fat Ass" that comes with 3lbs of crawfish, snow crab legs, shrimps, and corn and potatoes. It's generally feeds two but I've finished it solo many times. I'll need to upgrade to their XL combo next time. Cajun kitchen also does to go orders and even then, is still amazing. I had that seafood craving and got it to go. They packed it nicely and even assisted in carrying it out to my car for me. They asked if I needed any condiments to go with it but all I needed is lemon and Cajun seasoning. The food is amazing. Plenty of space for small and large parties. Plenty of TV screens and even a bar area to dine. Paper towels on the tables with Cajun seasoning in sugar dispensers and hot sauce. Thumbs up to the friendly staff and standing ovation for their amazing seafood. read more

This little gem on Bellaire is our family's go-to spot for crawfish whenever we're too lazy to boil it ourselves (but seriously, nothing is better than homemade). They offer a wide variety of foods, flavors, spice levels, beers, sides, etc. They even have combos where you can have crawfish, shrimp, crab, potatoes and corn in one set. And if you have kids or anyone in your party who don't eat crawfish, there are chicken and fish platters as well. Based on our past visits, we've ordered crawfish (with Kitchen special sauce, garlic butter, and Cajun), fried rice, mozzarella sticks, corn nuggets, French fries, Vietnamese wings (canh ga chien nuoc mam), boiled corn and potatoes, and white rice as well. Crawfish (4/5) Size was small but it's February so you can't complain. My family likes the Kitchen Special or the Garlic Butter. Cajun was way too bland. If you like flavorful wings, go for the kitchen special. If you like a subtle hint of flavor, go for the garlic butter. Be warned, the kitchen special has orange, lemon peer, and onions in there. Plus they charge extra for getting the special. Fried rice (3/5) Rice flavor was good, not too dry, and the portion is big. If you have kids in your party then this is a good option. Corn nuggets (5/5) holy shiz these things are addictive! French fries and mozzarella sticks (2/5) these are so-so. Your typical fried junkies that tastes like they took it out of the freezer. All in all, they are a pretty solid choice if you're craving some Vietnamese-style crawfish. Of course eating crawfish in restaurants is pricer than cooking it yourself. Our family's last visit consisted of 17-18 lbs of crawfish, fried rice, corn nuggets, fries, mozzarella sticks, potatoes, corn, white rice and the total came out to be around $265 with 18% tip included. Side note: Pictures are never taken here because we chow down too fast. read more

The butter garlic crawfish we ordered tasted fresh (not frozen), average size, and tasted good. I think they boiled the crawfish in Cajun spices like they are supposed to, so that made a difference. I did not like the prices of $8.99/lb and about $13 for crawfish fries rice (ours didn't have very much crawfish in it). Not on my list of places to return to. read more

Finally, a great Cajun place, where the wait is non existent. My friends and I went on a Saturday night and surprisingly we sat right away. Granted, it's not crawfish season, but I would eat here anytime of the week. The seasoning alone makes it worth it - heck, put the seasoning on some dirt and I would eat it. This is my year round, go-to Cajun restaurant. We had the lemon pepper wings, fish sauce wings, garlic noodles with crab, oysters vietnam, crawfish fried rice, spicy kitchen special crawfish with potatoes, corn, and sausage. I would say the garlic noodles, oysters vietnam, and crawfish are definitely a must have. Don't forget to ask for the fish sauce to eat with the oysters! Fried rice was mediocre and nothing special about the wings. I would have given the place 5 stars had it not been for the service. They are more of a laid back, casual restaurant - but the waitresses were not paying attention at all, unaware of their surroundings. I had to flag them down a couple times. On top of that, we had to go to the counter to request our check after waiting 15+ minutes. read more

My cousin and I have been on a crawfish excursion this year since before crawfish season even started and we ran across this joint. We went on a Sunday afternoon in March and it wasn't too much of a crowd. We tried the crawfish w/trimmings, the snow crabs and the turkey necks. I got the Thai Basil seasoning for my crawfish and OMG...heaven. That was the first time I've ever had boiled crawfish with slices of orange but it was awesome and it added to the colorful sloppy presentation! I tried their signature cajun blend for the snow crabs and it was cool. Now, I don't like turkey necks but my cousin was raving about how good they were so I tried one, then another and another....I almost couldn't stop because they were so flavorful, tender and juicy! Between my hubby, my cousin and myself; we racked up a tab close to $200...including drinks. The price per pound wasn't very attractive but we enjoyed every bite! read more

2 stars because the service. We ordered over 100 dollars food and we asked for some gloves they asked us how many do I needed because they charged per pair. Seriously? We spent hundred of dollars on your food and you cannot even provide us some gloves which cost a few cents? What kind of business is that. Moreover, food was not good as it used to, crawfish was small and kind old compare to other crawfish place. No wonder they are not busy as they were. Well I guess this is my last time here. read more

Cajun Kitchen is one of those hidden gems of Houston tucked off in what locals refer to as, Chinatown. The facility is of decent size. Its not too big, not too small and great for family or accomodating groups. The decor is very basic, while the food well above average. It's the perfect example of the adage "Under Promising, Over Delivering". I come to Cajun Kitchen every few months. During crawfish season I come frequently, every couple weeks or so. Their crawfish are really high, $7.99 to $9.99 a pound, but is expected for Houston,Texas; where crawfish isn't a staple of the culture. I would recommend this establishment to anyone looking for good crawfish (while in season from early March to late June), good seafood and good chinese food. They also serve beer and wine, no hard alcohol. The only negative is that the service can sometimes be delayed, but it's not too horrible. The counter to this negative is that patrons aren't limited to their initial server. Every waiter and waitress pitches in to help accomodate, so it doesn't take too much away from the overall experience. If and when they adjust to correct this issue, then lots of the three stars would turn to four stars, and the fours would be fives. read more

Went in on a Saturday night and they were pretty busy. My friends son insisted this was the best crawfish ever and wanted to come. There is a list. Get your name on the list. The wait wasn't too long because we were a party of 3 and there were 2 larger parties ahead of us. Win. We ordered 8 lbs of crawfish and 2 lbs of shrimp. Kitchen special flavor. Mild. I would have preferred spicy but the girl gave us the impression that mild was pretty spicy. Wrong. Crawfish- large and piping hot They were ok. I wasn't that keen on the sauce. They basically forgot about the shrimp. I asked the girl 3 times and she kept going to check but it didn't come UNTIL I flagged the guy down and told him that if they forgot to go ahead and cancel it. Bam.... It shows up. They did end up giving us the large shrimp tho. Same sauce. The service was friendly (mostly). The guy was way more attentive. The girls were kind of dismissive. There is a 50/50 chance I would go back. Next time I'm getting spicy. read more

We went during Crawfish season for crawfish. While they are a little pricier than BB's, we felt that we definitely got what we paid for. My BF got their spicy Cajun, and it was a bit too hot for his taste; however, he is not a hot food fan. So be aware of your spice level here. As for me, I love hot foods. I got their Tai Style (very spicy heat), and was happy with their flavor notes. They had two other levels - Crazy and Insane - both which start with straight up minced Habaneros and other peppers. If you're really looking to dial up the heat - I would most definitely recommend this place. They do it right, and I hope they don't change to accommodate. Their mild and low spice would be fine for most people I believe. Bathrooms were clean and the staff were very friendly. We went during an off time, so it was not very busy. It's a bit far for us to visit, but I think they did a decent job on meeting our expectations. read more

As of may 2015, this is my favorite crawfish place! They got the standard cajun, garlic butter flavors. But their specialty flavors are where they shine! My favorite is the Thai seasoning. It has a different spice, sweetness to it! Also, try the Kitchen special- it's more citrus-y and I believe they use more oranges in it. They don't just do crawfish. They have grilled ostyers, ostyer nachos, boudin balls, brisket + spicy majo fries with fried egg, etc. Heard the fried rice and garlic noodles are great as well. Cheap beer and a decent number of tvs for the big games! Close to milk tea places to help soothe the burn afterwards. Cajun Kitchen is a spicy dream that you can smell on your fingers for dayzzzzzzzzzzzz! read more

This is probably my go to crawfish place. It's pretty busy around the time they open, which is 3pm. That means they are doing something right! Chef's special fried rice- it was okay.. I probably wouldn't get it again. The rice was a little to wet/mushy for my liking. It also had a lot of green onion that sometimes overpowered the taste. Dozen raw oysters- yummm. Most of the time it's fairly decent size. Crawfish- I always get the kitchen special. Sometimes the flavor is on point and sometimes it just isn't. I don't know whether they have different chefs. Recently when I went, the crawfish sizes are so big! I love when it's not premature sizes and are perfectly cooked. read more

Cajun kitchen used to be my favorite restaurant, and I have always recommend it to all my friends but not any more. Today I order some blue crabs. They are not fresh at all, meat was mushy and smell bad. I called the restaurant to let them know that crabs are not fresh, they said they just have a new shipment come in later afternoon. My order was around 1 so it could be from the old batch.?!?? They want me to bring the crabs back if I want to exchange or refund but I told them I live far away, i not gonna drive 45mins for that. Can I send them pictures instead. They said no, they need the crabs back!?!? What make me mad is that they know they gave me the bad crabs and still not doing anything to make it right!?! I try to support them during Covid 19 but clearly they don't care about their food quality and customers. 40$ is not much but more important is they won't have me as their regular customer any more and no more recommendation from me for this restaurant. read more

I have been eating here for years! Before they even moved to this new location and LOVE THEM! Everything is so great. MUST HAVES: Oyster po-boy Grilled oysters- vietnam is my fave Garlic butter crawfish (my mouth is watering as I write this) Shrimp fried rice (even the leftovers will leave you with a happy tummy) My boyfriend and I go here all the time (sometimes twice in one week!).

So I don't care if it's December and it's not crawfish season - all I care about is where am I going to go to get my crawfish and who is willing to eat crawfish with me during non crawfish season. Oh, P, my P did some research for me and asked T where do they have live crawfish. This was the place, even though this is not Boiling Crab or Seafood Shoppe, I came here just to see what this place is all about. I got the Fat Ass, yup, go big or go home - I really should have got the XL Fat Ass, but I don't think T and P would put up with me trying to kill these crawfish in one sitting. Since they were already sick of waiting for me for the Fat Ass. I got the Kitchen Special, I didn't think it was that special, it was spicy, but it didn't have the seasoning or the taste that truly hit my taste buds. I think I should just got the regular cajun without the extra surcharge for the kitchen special. It just didn't cut it. P got just 2 lbs of crawfish and the fries with all the trimming, which pretty much looked like a hot mess. I tried it, but it was too much for me, the neck meat with cheese and all that other trimming. I gave this place 4 stars, because this place was really clean and 5 stars for Lisa alone. I think she's the manager here or assistant manager, she's super duper nice and sweet. I love her. Service was impeccable and she was just so attentive. One of the best service besides Seafood Shoppe. The crab meat took on more flavour than Boiling Crab, which I found interesting - so this place is good for crab. read more

Don't come here!! If you send your order back they reheat it and give it to another customer. Was here over the weekend and ordered 6 pounds of crawfish. It was mushy and overcooked. The waitress and managers excuse for that ass because it's beginning of the season which isn't true. I always have crawfish sadly season and it's usually small. Mushy crawfish is usually due to being overcooked. Whatever the case may be I sent it back and I had put my glove on top of my food. The manager yelled and said don't do that BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO REUSE THAT CRAWFISH. now that's disgusting what's even more disgusting is I was getting over a bad cold and I had touched the food as well as breathe over the food prior to discovering they were extremely overcooked. And it's disturbing that they would want to reuse that food and give it to other people. I don't want free food from your dirty overpriced establishment! Don't worry I won't return you charge 11.99 a lb everyone else charges 8.99. read more

Fresh big crawfish! Friendly service and beer. This is where it's at for Crawfish in Houston!! This year has to be crawfish year for me as I have eaten more crawfish than ever in my life! The good thing is that I know where the best crawfish is at, the bad thing is that I have to run... a lot to kill this belly fat. o.0 Cajun Kitchen by far, is the best place to grab crawfish. Let me back that statement up with 3 things that I feel they have nailed. 1. Awesome, Amazing staff. They are so friendly and know their menu. Their service = A+ 2. Clean welcoming environment - I keep coming back omg! 3. Amazing crawfish recipe - my favorite is the kitchen special (spicy) Bottom line: if you want crawfish you have to come here. You will be impressed, just absolutely impressed. Don't take my word for it. ;) read more

Yet another crawfish joint on the radar. This one doesn't stack up for me when it comes to the crawfish (C&N still the current title holder), but they have a number of other tasty offerings that warrant a return trip. Crawfish (Kitchen) - good, but not good enough to come back specifically for this Oysters on the half shell - good, nothing special Crawfish puffs - fried + cheese + crawfish, yup Deep fried corn - battered like fried chicken, nice and crispy, and the batter helped keep the kernels from drying out Clams - tender, spicy, and a good quantity Service is pleasant but sometimes slow. Restaurant is pretty clean and decorated decently (no crazy flashing lights or whatever). read more

Thus is my second visit. My first visit was wonderful. They had crawfish with different flavors and the apple flavored sake I like. I got the kitchen sink spicy. I could actually have gotten it in extra spicy. They were so ridiculously good and juicy....ha. The corn was even sweer. I took 2 extra corn home. I went back today because I have been needing some crawfish. It is not too far from my job so it worked out even with traffic. I winded up getting 3 lbs with kitchen sink and extra spicy. I could have actually gotten it a little spicy. It was not bad but I wasn't WORD like the first time. The corn were ok. Don't get me the crawfish were good but not as "juicy". Will I come back, of course. read more

Cajun Kitchen - Kitchen Special - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Crawfish is at $6.99/lb. The Cajun Kitchen Special is amazing and hands down the best we've ever had. The juices really soaked into the crawfish, shell, and head. It is the 'Asian' style with garlic, butter, onions, etc., but the flavor stands apart from the other places we've visited (LA Crawfish,Boiling Crab, Wild Cajun), probably because it's really marinated in there. I liked how they serve it in a bowl versus a plastic bag (LA Crawfish) because it kept the crawfish warm throughout the entire meal. I also have this thing against plastic that is heated, and plastic bags are the worse to have heated with your food. I heard the Thai Basil is very good too. The Vietnamese Style grilled oysters are delicious but a tad small. The seafood fried rice was cooked nicely with a good consistancy to the rice and that stir-fried taste. The wings were okay - not as large or flavorful as LA Crawfish's wings. We came on a week night, and will probably stick to that, as it is probably jam-packed on the weekends. read more

Prices gone up significantly since last year. Usually fresh but one day they served frozen crawfish to me at live prices. Waitress tried to play it off but really not hard to tell.. One bad day did not completely push me away, but when the next week I showed up they were trying to charge $12.99 lb, when everywhere else is $6-8 nearby. This was during crawfish season out of all things.. Would take a lot for me to reconsider this place. read more
