    2 lb. Crawfish crajun and French Fries
    Lainey N.

    I heard good reviews about this place so I wanted to try it out but it was okay. I was expecting a lot of garlic since the crajun flavor is supposed to be garlic butter + cajun, but it wasn't giving. The fries were good though. The service and ambiance were nice as well, I was just expecting more from the crawfish.

    All my crawfish were small,  same size as potato I ordered.

    The restaurant has pretty laid back atmosphere, no ftills interior. They say crawfish is $10.99 but that's for basic crawfish, if you add flavor it's $11.99 per lbs. The crawfish were live and fresh but pretty small which was disappointing since it's mid March and still good crawfish season. They did not have snow crabs, at that moment, which was a let down. So I did crawfish and clams. Crawfish thai mild was good, heat in the beginning with sweet after taste. Crawfish krajun mild was bad. The sauce was too watery and had fishy flavor, I ended up pouring the left over thai juices over it. Clams mix flavor, mild was too spicy, definitely did not taste mild. My lips were burning and the heat over powered any flavor. Too garlicy. Overall not impressed.

    My aunt invited me to a crawfish boil event. I can't say no to free food even in the midst of finals. We all got a ticket for a free pound of crawfish and a drink. They gave us a choice of garlic butter or Thai basil, I decided to get garlic butter with mild spice. The bowl also comes with a piece of corn and sausage. Even though my crawfish was only mild spice, it was still decently spicy to me. The crawfish were decently sized, my only complaint was that I didn't really have any sauce to dip it in. The restaurant also gave us a large tray of fried rice and wings. The wings came in 3 separate flavors: sweet chili, garlic butter, and fish sauce. I enjoyed both the fried rice and wings a lot, and there was plenty left for leftovers. Later the dentists at my table decided to order some beignets, with some condensed milk. The beignets were warm and airy and the condensed milk added some sweetness.

    Crab Fried Rice
    Lyndsey N.

    We definitely needed to take advantage of this place while crawfish is still in season. You really can't go wrong with a place that has both viet-style crawfish and fresh beignets! We got some calamari for the table. Some pieces were light and crispy, while others were a little soggy. I'd probably save your wallet and stomach and order something else. The crab fried rice was pretty good. It took it to a whole new level if you mixed some of the sauce your crawfish comes in with it. I got crawfish with the Thai flavor in mild. Even though I'm a little wimpy when it comes to spice, I probably should've ordered a medium spice level. The crawfish came in piping hot in the bowl. The Thai sauce was good but I probably should've mixed it with garlic butter, there was a flavor it was missing. In some ways, it almost tasted like it was in a tomato juice. The garlic probably would've enhanced the flavor. The staff were very nice and consistently checked on us. We ended the meal with the beignets. They were so fresh, light and fluffy, a great way to end the meal. While I wasn't super impressed with this place, I'll also chalk it up to maybe I didn't order the correct combination of flavors. Now that I've tried this place, I'll go back and see if changing things up makes a difference.

    Decent crawfish, but a bit lacking in flavor for me. I also ordered mild and hot, but they were both the same amount of spicy. The beignets were just okay and a bit dense.

    This is my 4th time dining in at this spot & I'll say each time I was here it was just decent enough for me to return. Today we came as a big group for a UYE (unofficial yelp event). When there is an event that involves seafood you know I'm there. I had a great time with everyone but my experience with the service was just subpar. Here's what I ordered. * Thai Crawfish & Snow crab- I liked the flavors, it was a combination of sweetness/citrusy. I did ask for it to be spicy but it wasn't, it was more mild. 3/5 * Beignets- very good. It came out hot & fresh. It was fluffy & soft on the inside. It paired well with the condensed milk. It wasn't too sweet which is perfect. 4/5 There were a few things that I didn't like about my dining experience. Here are the lists, 1. Although our server was nice he did seem annoyed at times. I also had to ask for water 3 times before getting it. 2. Considering this is the end of March (which means it's the peak season) the crawfish was small. I've been to other location & at this time the sizes are about medium/medium large. 3. Some of the crawfish was not purged correctly & was not clean. 4. My friend ordered a po boy and never got it, the server pretty much was like oh well it's too late to make it. 5. I don't like the fact that they add another $1 if you want to combine all three sauces together, definition of nickel & dime. Overall, the food was good enough for me to come back but it's a bit overpriced. The service was pretty lackluster considering it wasn't that busy. The crawfish is so small that it's not worth 9.99 a pound. My total came out to be $71 with gratuity, which I can't really complain since seafood is expensive but I don't think I got my moneys worth. Will I come back? Yes, hopefully next time the sizes are bigger since we are approaching April.

    Had another visit as I wanted their Thai Citrus flavored crawfish. A year after my last review, the food quality is still the same to me, as in it's still good. I got just a pound of crawfish and 1 snow crab cluster in Thai Citrus medium, with some beignets. I definitely enjoyed my meal and was happy the food quality didn't deteriorate. The scissors were a great help too. I did remove 1 star based off a few things that affected my experience. I did order 2 corns with my food, but I did not receive them. Although I wanted the corn, I could tell that I was getting full with my seafood. So I asked them to remove the corn from my ticket vs bringing it later. When the ticket came it was still on there so I asked them to correct it and they did. The other thing was that when I came in I waited for a host to seat me. One guy came from the back and tried to talk to me as he was walking across the room asking for how many. I wasn't about to yell back across the room so I walked over towards him. Then I waited a good 5 minutes before someone finally came over to take my order. They seemed a bit overwhelmed so I really let it all go but I hope they can improve on it. The last thing was I was sitting directly under the speaker and it was blasting explicit music with all kinds of profanity & sexual gestures. I guess it was background music for them but it sounded like I was in a club downtown and not at a family friendly restaurant. It did make me uncomfortable and I did ask if they ever change the music because I noticed that I did mention the music on my last review but this was too inappropriate to me. The guy said they do and that he just plays the radio & he changed it to a different station. A Top 40 station would have been more fitting in my opinion. But nonetheless i'm just glad the food was still decent.

    Crawfish and Shrimp bucket
    William L.

    Glad I was able to try it with alot of fellow Yelpers at an unofficial gathering. Got the Crawfish N Shrimp mix, the bucket seems to be the popular option among the group. Some positives: Great flavors, garlic butter + Cajun was a great mix and love the spices. The parking was fairly convenient inside a large shopping center space in Chinatown. I like the 2 sinks in the dining room you can wash your hands without waiting for the bathroom. I wanted to try some other things on the menu but we did had to wait a long time for service and had to cancel some dishes that we waited 30+ minutes for. But it was a large group spread over 3-4 tables so I can understand. Would come back and try some other plates. In terms of value, a little pricey at $10.99/lb compared to some of the other places in town.

    Fresh crawfish and delicious food, casual dining experience. Upon arrival for lunch, staff welcomed us we were told to sit anywhere we want. The menu can be accessed via QR code. What we ordered 3lbs of krajun crawfish - fresh and delicious. Calamari - these were fresh and light, not over done with breading which I appreciated. My favorite was the Beignets - they were fresh and served hot with condensed milk on the side. The Beignets were fluffy and perfect with condensed milk. Great way to finish a meal - there's two sinks in the dining room, so no needs to wait for the bathroom when you need to wash your hands. :)

    1LB Thai flavored Crawfish w/ 2 potatoes and 1 sausage
    Trung N.

    Place is pretty chill. Easy to order, nothing too fancy. 1lb crawfish (a bit small but its not in season), 1 sausage, 2 potatoes, 1lb green mussel, 1 oyster nachos for all about $55. Sauce flavor is pretty good though the spicy krajun is hella toooo spicy! Beware! haha Thai flavor isnt as good but gives a slightly different experience than the spicy garlic butter/krajun style. I would strongly suggest getting both as you can take a break from one dish to another. Don't let the oyster nacho picture fool you. Despite looking like its lacking portions, its actually quite sizeable! :D I'd come back.

    Fried Oyster Po' Boy sandwich & Fried Sweet Potato Fries
    Karina M.

    So far, been here twice and I love it. It has a casual vibe, plenty of parking and good service. The Fried Oyster po'boy is my go-to and the fries are crispy and fresh. You will notice a hint of sugar flavor on the fries though, and my guess is because they make beignets here too!

    Huyen C.

    After grabbing some boba, a firefighter told us that the Beignets at this joint was amazing, so we had to stop by and get some. We got 3 orders that come with 3 beignets in one. They were delicious. Perfect amount of powdered sugar, warm, and clearly freshly done. This place is unique because I've never had condense milk to dip the beignets in, but that definitely added a sweet touch! Definitely want to come check out the crawfish!

    Erica G.

    I can't tell you how long I've been waiting to try this place. It's definitely a well known crawfish joint here in Houston. A 4 star bc their crawfish were super small and more expensive than what I am used to. 10.99 a lb! HOWEVER, a great flavor. High quality, flavorful crawfish that you can't just get anywhere. Maybe I bit the bullet too soon on going out for crawfish. I have been hearing so many different things about how crawfish season has already started yet the crawfish places I have been to, I have been pretty let down as far as price and size. Think I'll wait it out a bit more. Overall, a great crawfish joint that I am happy to have visited here in my city!

    How much crawfish per lb?

    $10.99 as of currently!

    What are the other food dishes here like? Are they just as delicious as the crawfish or is everything more of an afterthought?

    Just average fried seafood. Wish their french fries were better.

This time around, everything from the service to the food was great. We had a 12:30 Sunday reservation for two and opted to sit inside this time. We ordered the cast-iron cornbread, chargrilled oysters, and a cup of gumbo each to start. For entrées, I had the Gulf Fish, while my husband went with the crawfish Florentine. Everything came out beautifully timed, almost like a perfectly paced three-course meal, which obviously made the whole experience feel elevated and relaxed. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. I also tried the prickly pear aid (non-alcoholic), and it was super refreshing, definitely worth ordering if you like a little tartness to cleanse your palate.

Unfortunately, the overall dining experience was disappointing due to both the service and the food quality. Our server was very slow throughout the evening.

Both dishes were noticeably over salted. After finishing our meals, we waited an additional 15-20 minutes just to receive a dessert menu. Eventually, we decided not to wait any longer and went to Dessert Gallery down the street instead. While the atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant were excellent, the slow service and food issues negatively impacted the experience. Based on this visit, I would likely not return.

We went on a Saturday for lunch. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but if you're looking for good Cajun boiled crawfish, this is not it. We started off with 6 lbs (group of 4) of their regular crawfish. First off, they put the Cajun seasoning on outside/shell (!!), which is a cardinal sin for Cajuns. They also minimally seasoned the boil, so the meat was lacking salt and flavor. We ordered 3 more lbs with the "wet sauce" (garlic butter), thinking the lack of flavor may be attributed to this being the first-ish batch of the day. Nope, the second batch was even less seasoned than the first. The sauce was good, but it didn't make up for the unseasoned meat. The crawfish were a good size, at least... Come on guys, I expect more from a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant!

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind.
