Ordered the Hungry Man's Basket on Uber Eats. You get to choose 3 proteins and it comes with Cajun fries. This basket was a disappointment, primarily because of this "sausage". I chose catfish, shrimp and sausage. I called ahead prior to ordering to see what all came with the basket since it didn't list the amount of shrimp, fish, etc that you would get with the basket. First, the person answering the phone did not know any of the amounts and had to ask someone else. He said 1 filet of catfish, 6 shrimp and 1 sausage. My son wanted chicken tenders and it came with three small tenders. My expectation of this "sausage "was that it was going to be either a grilled or Cajun boiled sausage link. The man on the phone did not describe the sausage as a patty. That was disappointing in itself, but it also was very dry and overcooked. I felt like I would've gotten more value if I had gotten chicken tenders instead of this alleged sausage. The catfish fillet was also small. read more

HOUSTON, TX 77072 / VIETNAMESE CAJUN / 04-09-23 / DINNER +The "Kitchen Special" sauce flavor was pretty good. It has an interesting citrus flavor to it. +The crawfish was good, just a few dead mushy ones, but overall great size. +The kids chicken nugget meals tasted like McDonald's and the little ones enjoyed the french fries, as well. +Buy 6 lbs of crawfish, get 1 lb free. +They are not stingy with the rice or soft drink refills. -The entrance doors could use some Windex and the window sills need some cleaning. What we ordered (for party of 2 adults, 2 kids): 5 Live Louisiana Crawfish - Kitchen Special, Spicy $49.95 2 Live Louisiana Crawfish - Garlic Butter, Medium $19.98 1 Garlic Noodles with Crab $17.99 2 Kids Meal, Chicken Nuggets, French Fries $14.99 1 Soft Drink $2.50 1 Steamed Rice (3 scoops) $1.00 2 Disposable Gloves $0.50 Total: $101.66 plus tip read more

This is my friends favorite crawfish spot. It's pretty good. Their spice level is pretty spicy, even their medium feels quite spicy. Gratuity is added automatically for large parties. They charge for bibs and gloves which I guess is good to reduce waste but I like when places provide complimentary ones if you want. They have a Thai basil flavor that I like, they also have a garlic butter, kitchen mix. Today when I went one of the shrimps I had went bad and was all black :(... I didn't mention it to the server though since they seemed busy. Also the bathrooms are ok but it's not the nicest. read more

Ordered 2 "catfish" platters via Postmates. However I'm pretty certain I was given swai instead of catfish. Food tasted fine, pretty standard fried seafood, though the cocktail sauce wasn't good at all and tasted like black pepper and ketchup. But biggest complaint was that there was a hair in my order. Thankfully ordered thru a delivery service so refund was pretty easy read more

The food here is really good but there is a waiter there that is so rude :(. This was my favorite crawfish spot so I wanted to have my birthday dinner here. I called ahead and made a reservation unfortunately my full party didn't arrive at the same time so I called a bit before to extend the reservation to later. When we sat down the sweetest girl took our order and before ordering I asked if we could split the check (I used to be a waitress and wanted to make splitting check as easy as possible) the sweet girl told me yes and we proceeded to order. When we first got there we were one of a few tables but the only larger party seated (we were a party of 10 expecting 3 other guests). Towards the end we go to pay and she brings the check and it's all combined. On a normal day I wouldn't mind paying with one card but since it was my birthday I had other plans and was on a bit of a time crunch so trying to do a bunch of math and figure out a tab was something I didn't necessarily want to do. A man ends up coming over (he was not our waiter) and telling us we have to pay the ticket together. I told him that I asked the nice woman before we started eating and she agreed he very rudely said it's policy and his system doesn't allow him to split checks. The software they use is toast and I know for sure you can split checks so he lied to my face. My cousin who was there is also a manager at a restaurant and they use toast so he offered to split the checks for them to help but the man said no again. The woman was so sweet and she was trying to talk to him about it and he basically shooed her away (he literally used his hand and shooed her. His tone with us was no better. He was rude and very dismissive, we ended up using one card and the sweet girl came over and apologized and basically said he wouldn't split the check because they got busy. Fast forward to another experience. A good friend of mine wanted to eat here for her birthday since the food is so good. She called ahead of time and asked if they could split the checks when she made her reservation. Person on the phone said no problem. So we show up and right when we walk in the same guy is there and is immediately rude. He was yelling for the next people to be seated and we were the only ones there. Then my friend told him she had a reservation and he said they don't have any reservations today. She told him the name of the person she spoke to and he said he doesn't have anyone there by that name. He told us he was going to try to find us a table and then walked away as if he was inconvenienced. He found us a table outside and instead of coming to tell us he just waved his hand at us to come sit. We go out there and my friend confirms that the person she spoke to said we could split the check. The man said they didn't have anyone by the name she gave and told us we can't split checks. It was really annoying that we tried to pre plan for something and were told we could be accommodated only to end up being bullied and spoken to so rudely not once but twice. I'm in customer service and I know the way you treat paying customers and this was not it at all. I put off writing a review because I never want to cause issues or bad mouth anyone but the fact that it happened twice didn't sit well with me. Idk what this man's issue is but I hope someone talks to him about his demeanor and he changes the way he acts towards people. I'm going to have to just place to go orders now :( read more

Go to spot for crawfish and seafood! There Cajun special is the bomb! Kids love it and the service is always on point!

Plenty of parking. Friendly service. Good menu with variety of viet street foods and seafood. Overall great flavors and fast service. The crawfish was flavorful. Basil was my favorite. The margaritas were good. Razor clams were gritty but sauce was yummy. Garlic noodles was filling but good. It had big chunks of crabs in it. Place gets busy after 7:30pm. read more

While it's clear that they indicate they automatically charge gratuity with larger parties, they didn't have the decency to tell my cousin that he double tipped. They had 10-15 minutes of opportunity to tell us it was already added before we left the building. Nope. Just a straight money grab. We didn't realize until after we left and got dessert that it was added. You're welcome for the extra $40 he tipped you. Super scummy. Considering we didn't get any actual service, had to ask for water refills, clean bowls, and we were never even offered gloves or a bib for the seafood boil we ordered. So much for any type of hospitality. Feel a bit misled coming here. On their menu it says "Live crawfish all year round" my family comes to dine and we're told they don't have any, only frozen. Well, that's false advertisement. And we would have chosen elsewhere. Food was fine. We were a big group, ordered lots of items and food came out sporadically even though we were the only people in the entire restaurant. We ordered multiple appetizers at the same time, and just one of 6 would be brought out every 3-5 minutes. Hard to eat and share apps when it all trickles in whenever. read more

Been here several years now and the food has always been great. We order East Coast oysters often because few places in Asia Town carry them. The crawfish has been consistently good, as well as the chef's special fried rice. We usually get the coconut snails, but not this time around. The staff is always helpful and the owner has come out several times to greet us and talk about the food. If you want a great experience here, eat in and communicate clearly with the staff your needs and they will take care of you. read more

I've been going to this restaurant for a few years now. It always hits the spot! The crawfish, the shrimp, all the add ins. We normally get the kitchen special spicy add egg, corn. For appetizers we get the wings mostly but the crawfish bread is really good. The service is normally fast even during crazy crawfish season. They play fun music in my opinion but they also have a projector going with videos. Definitely gonna keep going and I recommend it. read more

I ordered thru Uber Eats. It's not their fault that the overly priced Turkey Necks were cold and they were in the plastic containers. They were $7.99 for 3 little pieces. They had a buy one get one special. When you put them together, still isn't a whole Turkey Neck. They put the wrong Skewer in my order. I ordered Chicken Gizzards and got hearts instead. When someone orders their food they want it hot and correct. Please pay attention. I only live 4 lights and a street away from the place. My order should of been hot even if they warmed it up. read more

We visited this place because we wanted crawfish and heard about this. The crawfish was seasoned well; however, we asked for extra juice. We barely got any juice. Nothing to suck on. I ordered oyster nachos. They were good but cold. I added 6 wings since it was happy hour. We waited over 15 minutes for 6 wings. The nachos were already cool since it was brought out that way. I wish they would've told me that it took 18 minutes for the wings. Even Popeyes ask if you want to wait on spicy chicken. The food was good but I won't return due to the customer service. They didn't apologize for the wait or anything. We paid $10 per pound for crawfish which was a bit expensive. They were super dry. People want juicy crawfish not dry crawfish. read more

Absolutely loved this spot. Great tasting food, professional customer service nothing wrong with this eatery. Went on Google and just picked and pleasantly surprised. Will surely return, thank you Cajun Kitchen for a great lunch. read more

The first time I ever tried Cajun Kitchen was with my friend Tran. She is the only friend that introduced me to crawfish and made me try it! Several years ago, she took me here to eat crawfish, and it was divineeeeee!...whenever I try a new place, and I absolutely love it, the first people I share it with are my family members. So of course, I get my brother in law hooked, and my sisters, etc. I've returned several times, but sadly, this last time we went was somewhat disappointing. I should have written a review on this place the first time I ate here, but I didn't. Sadly, after reading up reading some of the more recent reviews after we ate there on Sunday, and it pretty much confirmed everything I experienced. The "kitchen special" seasoning is extremely popular there. It's a marinade/sauce for their crawfish, but for CK, it's their "signature" marinade, and therefore is typically the one we go with. My sister and I shared their 6 + 1lb free special, and we ordered the kitchen special, spicy. They mastered the spicy, but I was pretty disappointed with their marinade...and although we didn't mention it, the crawfish size in our batch was pretty small...and a lot of them were soft, to the point of spoiled/bad to eat...I found myself throwing a few out because I was afraid of getting sick after eating them...so I was very selective about the ones I ate. Also, you know that when a restaurant that typically doesn't offer "complimentary" appetizers for checking in on places like Yelp, or 6lb for 1lb free specials, all of a sudden starts offering these things...there's somethin' goin on back of house. After having read some of the reviews, 1 roach story, and the mix/sauces not coming out flavorful like they used to...you start to wonder why a seasoned restaurant that's been open for several years starts to offer comp. appetizers and specials. I never thought I'd say "i've had better crawfish..." but that's kind of what was goin through my mind while I was eating there on Sunday. Customer service is "ok," not the greatest. We didn't have any issues with our bill, but it would've been a nice heads up to let us know that they'd be tacking on an 18% gratuity (4 adults, 2 children). It's fine that they added gratuity, but just as a courtesy, the staff should notify the table in the very beginning so we don't seen an alarming amount on the bill and wonder why the bill is so high, only to find out later that they charged us gratuity already. read more

The first time i ordered food from here everything was fine and good but these last 2 times have pissed me completely off. I order shrimp fried rice and turkey necks every time and these last few times the shrimp taste funny and Is mushy. The rice .. bland & mushy. Now the turkey necks ... now I'm not sure if this meal is supposed to come with 2 necks or 4 but now i only get 2 which be a hit or miss sometimes but this time a definite MISS TWICE IN A ROW. You can TASTE when something is old and / reheated and the taste is strong. What makes it even worse is the shit is tough asf ... tough like steak which means it wasn't fully cooked and also DRY. Y'all wanna make certain types of food make it right or leave it to people who actually know how to make turkey necks the RIGHT way spicy but no flavor? Never eating here again read more

I stopped by to get a crab po boy and they put a whole crab inside. I didn't realize it still had the shell until I was eating. The shell was soft since they fried it hard, but it was a weird taste. It came with some Cajun fries and that was ok. I don't trust a seafood place that would leave the whole shell like that. I don't think I'll be back. read more

Last Friday early evening, i ordered the Buy 1 get one on the Chiclen Fried Rice with Shrimp for $19.99 It arrived promptly, but the pan was full of tasteless rice with a few clumps of tasteless hard chicken pieces. They placed the shirmp on top and that was it. Never, ever will i order from this establishment again. I've been there to eat and they were so unapologetic about their frozen crawfish, served as fresh. I called them out on it and they didn't even adjust the price In the restaurant there were 2 signs each with a diff price on it. The waitress charged me the higher price. I will not ever give them another shot at taking my money. read more

So what is this Viet Cajun that everyone in Houston is talking about?! I've had Asian seafood boil before, but I'm sure the trend emerged from the coast. There was quite a wait but we were sure it would be worth the wait. You leave your name on the clipboard and wait for your name to be called. On a late Sunday night, we waited maybe 30-45 minutes. We ended up ordering quite a bit of crawfish because YOLO. We ordered 6 lbs of crawfish for 3 people since it was Buy 5 lb, get 1 lb free. We also added on corn, potatoes and sausage to the add to the crawfish (sold separately) but mixed together. There is quite a list of flavors to choose from, but we ended up getting the medium spicy garlic butter and kitchen special flavors (you can pick two flavors for every 3 lbs, I believe). The crawfish are quite large, with claw meat in every other crawfish. Bibs are complimentary but there is a 25 cent charge per pair of gloves. I loved the garlic butter flavor. The kitchen special was just ok. I think the sweetness ratio was a bit off - it was too citrusy and not enough everything else. We also ordered the Big Ol' Loaded CK fries, which were pretty tasty - however since the servers had forgotten about the fries, we didn't get them until we were already full. The Oyster "Vietnam" really hit the spot because we were starving. The seasoning was spot on! I love garlic and scallions, and if you do too, try the oyster "Vietnam"! We also ordered Boudin Balls, which I didn't particularly care for. There was something in the flavor that didn't sit well with me. There was a situation right behind us where a Caucasian customer was very racially charged and rude and unhappy with our Asian servers. The servers and manager took it in stride and handled it as well as they could in the situation. The racial slurs that man uttered were very disturbing and the way he treated every worker was rude and a reflection of what is still happening everyday in what we think of as a progressive society. It did ruin our appetite but I just wish there could be change in our country. Overall, food is a little pricy but the seafood was fresh and tasty. I recommend not coming at peak meal times to avoid a wait. read more

It's rare that I give a venue 5 stars but this place absolutely deserves every bit of it! I came here during a visit to Houston for a friend's wedding. A friend traveling with me suggested the place after seeing it on TV. Initially I was very skeptical by the way she kept describing the place as being "viet-Cajun" which honestly sounds disgusting. In my mind, all I could think of was pho with Cajun seasonings! The whole time I'm thinking "why the hell would I come all the way to Texas to eat pho?!" Finally I did what I normally do and looked on my trusted go-to Yelp. In true fashion, Yelp never let me down! Listen, if you love a good ole Cajun seafood boil and fried seafood this is an absolute must! Everything my party eat was amazing and every flavorful. The only things Vietnamese about this place are the owners, workers, a few of the oysters specials, some of the seasoning and maybe the decor. My party and I tried several of the dishes including the street corn, fried crawfish, crawfish bread, blackened catfish and shrimp, fried rice, and the blue crab and Dungeness crabs. I highly recommend that you try the Lemon Pepper fried crabs! Amazing!!! I don't know how they managed to get the flavor into the freakin crab legs but they did!!! If you like spicy food definitely opt for the kitchen special seasoning. Superb! Finally, they only serve beer and wine. Their margaritas are wine based. Beware! I drank my first one so fast becausw it taste like juice. Mistake...I was so done after that. Go ahead and treat yo self! read more

Beware of what you handle in terms of spicy level! My sisters and I thought we could handle the heat but it was far beyond what we thought. We had to switch crawfish orders with our friends! The oysters were were fresh and a must try! I enjoyed the fact they had various oyster selections with various options in terms of flavor from Vietnamese to Italian to Mexican. Their menu was broad but still a good selection of seafood entrees. My boyfriend is allergic to shellfish so he had the chicken tender basket which he said was solid. We also shared some chicken wings which we though could have more seasoning; it was more on the bland side. Service was kind of slow and could be improved. They forgot our friends side order of sweet potato fries and we had to remind them a few times. I would come back again for the crawfish. read more

I've always had mixed feelings here. But now overtime, it won me over. They always try to provide fresh live seafood which I appreciate. Even during off season, they would always try to have live crawfish flown in and sold at reasonable pricing. I didn't really love any of their seasonings that I have tried but now I like their Thai Basil, which has garlic butter already mixed in. I like that they also have medium blue crabs and jumbo blue crabs for preference. Personally, I always get crawfish and medium blue crabs here. This is also one of the places I take people that are not huge boiled seafood lovers because they have so many other options to eat from. Their garlic noodles, jambalaya pasta, and creole pasta is good. I didn't care for the fried rice though, a little dry in my option. I do love their selection for oysters though! Sometimes they have specials for their live oysters, which is a good size. Their charbroiled oysters are popular, I prefer the Vietnam style since it's simple and good. read more
