Fresh and well seasoned! It is always nice to see a seafood option nearby. This spot is located right in the middle of the Raveena area and is a very quick walk from the Roosevelt link station. If you are able to, I recommend linking here so you can walk around and enjoy the area after or before. If you need to drive to the area, there is a small parking garage where people are able to park for free for 2 hours or there is street parking in the neighborhoods near as well. My cousin and I stopped in for a yelp event and were able to get a pound of seafood and an appetizer. We also ordered some additional food and got combo 1 with crawfish. They also give you an opportunity to try all of the boil sauces which is very nice. We chose to go with the cajun sauce which was nice and balanced. As for the boils, we got shrimp, mussels, and crawfish which all were fresh and cooked very well. For our app, we got crab fries which were also very good. The boil was fast to come out and we very satisfied with what we got. I will be back and I am grateful for all the great seafood boil options I have around me! read more

I use to go to of a lot of crawboil places in the past by haven't been in quite some time. Going to Crawfish Chef reminds me of why I use to go frequently. The food is flavorful, plentiful, and filling. Sometimes getting down and dirty enhances the experience. Why is it that when you work for your food(peeling shells off the shrimp) makes it taste better? After trying 4 different sauce combinations with my partner. We landed on the Cajun paired with shrimp and lemon pepper paired with clams. Also got a side order of the sweet potato fries as well as the crab fries. I though the size of the clams on average were sizeable and packed with flavor, as well the shrimp. Definitely saved my corn for last since it was soaking in all the butter and sauce. It's definitely a note to end on. We didn't end up finishing our food because we were stuffed. Btw medium spicy wasn't as spicy as I was hoping for. Might be for others but I would definitely go into the next level. Barely felt the burn. Anyways, if you haven't been to a crawboil place in quite some time. If you come here. It'll unlock that memory of why you went before. read more

Such a fun place to enjoy seafood boil! Near u district! We had shrimps (head on) with lemon butter (sauce on the side) and we also got 1lb of fresh crawfish with house sauce, along with the crab fries for a little appetizer ($17). We wanted to try the fish tacos or ceviche appetizer, but they were sold out so we ended up going with the crab fries with spicy mayo on the side. It was a great carb to help break up all the seafood it provided a nice balance. The seafood boil with sauces and the salt / lime mixture were a little bit rich after a while so I'm glad we got all the sauces on the side. Between my husband and I we actually finished all the food, but we were definitely full after the meal. Great service and fun atmosphere! They provide bibs and gloves which help keep things somewhat tidy. We have been to other locations, but glad we got to try the Seattle location this time around! Free parking for 2 hrs in the garage and also there is free street parking as well. read more

I looked forward to checking out Crawfish Chef because despite being in the PacNW, never had a seafood boil. I remember seeing folks dining with absolute bliss back at a Baltimore restaurant after attending a conference decades ago. That memory stuck with me. Parking is tight in the Roosevelt District. However, there are a variety of Metro bus lines and its proximity to the Roosevelt stop via light rail. I did manage to find a 2 hour zoned parking stop two blocks away near Roosevelt High School, score! The Homie and I were enthusiastically welcomed upon entering (4/13/26). Most likely because we arrived right at 3pm, lol. Upon seating, we were provided with menus, ice waters, and four sauce samples. This was very helpful to decide what our respective sauce bases would be. We were also provided gloves, bibs, and additional Cajun spice and lime wedges. This restaurant has floor to ceiling windows to allow for natural light, albeit tinted. Nice airy feeling with additional lighting. With the exposed ceiling, probably gets a bit loud and lively when its full capacity. Decent music playing while onsite. There's specific table and counter seating for 21+. The rest of the dining room has lots of tables with 2, 4, and 6 top configurations. This was our first visit to Crawfish Chef. Our helpful and knowledgeable waitperson, Kay, said that they had been open for approximately one year. Clearly, I had been blind when flying southbound on Roosevelt Way. There is quite the selection for beverages and the variety of menu items for apps/sides, rice & noodle dishes, seafood boil choices, seafood baskets, group combos, wings, po boy sammies, two choice kids menu, and dessert specials. Note: the posted market price on the white board for particular seafood/shellfish items. Wait staff is helpful to provide additional info about happy hour and group combo deals (like $5 cocktails at HH!). The Homie ordered garlic cheese bread and the headless shrimp with the house sauce. This comes with potato and corn in the seafood boil bag. Once opened and placed in the dining tray, he added more Cajun seasoning and lime juice. I selected the shrimp egg rolls (has also pork, taro, carrot & other veg) with sweet chili sauce (like Mae Ploy). These are generously filled four egg rolls. Terrific appetizer! I'm usually a shrimp fanatic, but decided to go a different route and selected clams with garlic butter for my seafood boil. Throughout our meal, we were checked on by Kay and her other two colleagues. Water refilled. Our respective sauces were also kindly placed in takeout containers...this will be amazing with pasta at home! Pro tips: pull out napkins out of the dispenser before placing on gloves. Definitely, don the provided gloves and bibs. Folks with long hair - time to break out the clips or scrunchies. Use the straws in your bevs. This was an enjoyable, unique, delicious, and generous dining experience. We both left full. We skipped the cocktail and dessert options this time. But after this initial try, we'll definitely be back! **Props to Kay, our wait person. She was really personable, helpful, and knowledgeable during our visit** read more

I love doing seafood boils a couple times a year. This is the second location I've visited, and I think Crawfish Chef may be my favorite seafood boil restaurant. The food was amazing. The staff was very friendly. Their sauce was delicious. I really appreciated that they brought out the sauces to taste test so we could see what we liked. Seafood isn't cheap so prepare for that. But the shrimp and crawfish were very good sized. It was very filling. My only complaint is the music wasn't really family friendly, but it's in the background. Not a big deal. I highly recommend this location. read more

I have been disappointed by most seafood boil restaurants outside of the South. Crawfish is always small and dead. Other seafoods are often frozen. Here in PNW, price is not even good. I'd pass read more

I regret not getting their Thai tea after seeing the photos from other Yelpers! Since it was our first time visiting, the waitress gave us a sample of their different sauces for the seafood boil. I think I liked the Garlic Butter the most, with the Lemon Pepper the second. As for the food: The crab fried rice was amazing. Separated grains that aren't clumpy is the hallmark of a good fried rice, and this one met the mark. I liked how the crab was real crab, not "krab" and it had the sweet taste of fresh crab. I think they hand pick the meat themselves since there was a bit of crab tendon in the rice (not an issue for me). Good ratio of rice to other ingredients with slices of cucumber and tomato to help refresh your palate. The catfish po boy sandwich was pretty good. The fry on the catfish is amazing. Poorly fried fish will have the breading slough off the meat in an unappetizing sheet, but this breading was rock solid and did not come off! The Cajun fries were heavily seasoned which made it a bit too salty for me. The Parmesan garlic fries - wow they give you a lot. The fries are fried a little past having the perfect fluffy interior, but I would rather slightly over fried than under fried. They do not taste fishy at all (a concern I always have when I get fried non-seafood items at a seafood place). I ate these with the garlic butter sauce sample to amp up the allium. Also, I've never had a seafood boil before, so watching other people enjoying it inspires me to get one next time. I love how it looks like the restaurant give you thick vinyl gloves to slip on before you indulge in the sensory experience of cracking into succulent seafood! The table next to ours ordered a side of white rice to drizzle the sauce over, which is an excellent idea. Definitely going to keep that in mind next time. Protip: The 1 line light rail station is one block away, so consider taking it as opposed to driving since street parking can be difficult to find. read more

Four of us came to the Crawfish Chef on Roosevelt in Seattle to try a seafood boil and specifically the Crawfish as I don't believe I've ever had these crispy crustaceans before. Everything was super flavorful and freshly prepared. The sauces that we chose were also pretty good. We had the lemon garlic butter and the Cajun butter. The boil contained crab, shrimp, and crawfish, corn on the cob and potatoes all served in our chosen lemon garlic butter. The Cajun butter cost extra and was served in a container on the side. The venue was very large with a two story ceiling which made it very spacious but loud. The server we had was super friendly and helpful and offered to open the steaming hot boil bag for us and gave us tips on using the utensils. This was a fun experience for two of my kids that joined us as they hadn't had a seafood boil before. Great event to try something new. read more

Their crab fried rice is special. Yes I know they are a seafood boil place, but that crab fried rice was probably the best crab fried rice ive ever had. I also tried 'very well made' fried catfish basket with 'tasty' fries and a 'delicious' alcoholic drink who's name I cant remember. Dont even ask what the appetizer i ordered because we ate it so fast; Either I had to have been that hungry or it had to be that good. I do however remember my amazing service. They didnt make me feel neglected in any way and really helped us with the ordering process. Solid down do earth waitresses indeed. However, i must admit they weren't busy, which was a surprise based on the quality and price range. Meh, my food came out quick and I had amazing service ao them not being busy probably worked out in my favore. The interior was also decorated very appropriately for a seafood boil spot. Very open design that still had separate dinning zones. The mirror next to our table provided additional fun photo opportunities. Oh yea, and They passed my clean utensils test as well as my drinking water test, as most seattle area restaraunts do these days. One thing im disappointed about was missing their happy hour. Their drinks are delicious and the happy hour prices are great. Its only been a week or so and im already planning my next visit for more food and happy hour drinks.... read more

Good seafood boil to try here! We had their combo with snow crab and shrimp and it was good! You're able to choose their sauce prior to have it cooked with the seafood. I forgot which one it was (likely had garlic), but it was pretty good! The snow crab was very tasty and there was a decent amount of it. The shrimp was okay. The biggest problem for me was that it was a bit overcooked. It also came with corn and potatoes which was nice. The service was iffy. The server was nice, but the service was extremely slow. It seemed they were short staff as well. The combo cost around $70 which is a bit pricey. The ambiance is decent. There's plenty of seating but I didn't enjoy how all of the TVs were playing kid shows. read more

When you're seated, 4 sauces quickly appear. Your choice of these becomes the flavor of your meal. My wife and I went to Crawfish Chef for dinner. It's a large space and, based on our visit, we hope to see it full soon. Then again, Wednesday might not be rush hour for dinner out in the Roosevelt neighborhood. We ordered a seafood boil with crawfish and house sauce (a combo of their other sauces: Cajun + garlic butter + lemon butter), shrimp fried rice, garlic bread (which you'll want for sopping up the sauce), and a couple beverages. The portions were healthy - a pound of crawfish in the seafood boil and a heaping portion of rice with veggies and a good number of shrimp. I've never eaten crawfish before so I can't compare to other places, but they were good. They were also messy; the place setting comes with plastic bibs and gloves (thank you). The rice was also good; the shrimp very flavorful. I've seen some complaints about quality of seafood in the reviews here on Yelp. I can't say the critters were plucked straight from the sea on my ordering, but it was tasty and the restaurant did not smell fishy, as is often a problem when fish isn't fresh. I've also seen complaints about the price. Market price for seafood isn't low, and some of the combos appeared expensive. That said, I didn't order a combo so don't know what was in it. I will say I found the price for what I ordered (enough for dinner last night AND leftover fried rice for lunch today) to be fair. About $60 for two people. It's a bargain considering we paid $50 for a single meal we shared in lower Queen Anne just a few days ago - that meal was good, but neither as good as CC, nor anywhere near as good a value. My guess is the combos are also good value. I'll definitely be back. read more

Crawfish Chef has good food overall, especially the sauce. The flavors are solid and I appreciated that they offer sauce samples before you order. It's a nice touch and helps you choose what you'll actually enjoy. The seafood itself was cooked well and tasted fresh. That said, there isn't anything particularly unique or memorable about the restaurant compared to other Asian seafood boil spots. Parking is also difficult to find, which can be frustrating. The prices are noticeably higher than average: the combo boils are about $10-12 more than most similar Asian seafood boil restaurants, and the sides are very expensive for what you get. The raw oysters were especially overpriced. Market price was about $5ish per oyster if you order 6, and $55ish for 12, which is even more expensive than some luxury oyster bars in Seattle and much higher than other Vietnamese or Asian seafood boil restaurants. Overall, the food and sauce are good, but the higher prices and lack of standout features make it hard to justify choosing this place over other options unless convenience or specific sauce flavors matter most to you. read more

Crawfish Chef - Combo 3 - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It was a fun Foodie Frenzy Elite DELICIOUS experience. It's a large location with plenty of seating but finding parking in the area can be a challenge. It is very clean & open & has room for large groups. It can be a little loud & messy but definitely a fun time. The service was very attentive & very nice with just the right level checking in. We were able to try multiple things on the menu & they were all really good but my favorite was the Seafood Boil with Snow Crab, Prawns, corn & potatoes in the house sauce with a 3* spice level. I love seafood but the corn was AMAZING & soaked up all the flavors of the boil. They have multiple locations & I will definitely be checking out the one in the Kent area by my home. You will not be disappointed. read more

Solid seafood boil! We went with their combo #5 which includes snow crab, mussels, shrimp, crawfish, potatoes, and corn. We added some boiled eggs to that and asked for their house sauce at medium heat--it was pretty damn good! Instead of an appy, we went with some catfish + sweet potato fries and those were ok, as well. All that + 7 cocktails + a 20% tip = ~$280 split between three people and for the most part we all left full! read more

I recently had my first seafood boil ever. If it's your first time, here are the things you should know. 1) be careful not to harm others with seafood juices 2) boiling food comes in a bag? is that ok? I guess every once in a while I'll spoil myself with some good plastic 3) the seafood itself tastes like whatever sauce you get, so make sure that works out for you. I find it very impressive that they have a sauce so potent that it penetrates natures armor 4) you will have a rip-roarin' good time. there is also ample PPE so that you do not harm yourself 5) get that bread to dip in the excess sauce. It's such a wonderful bite. Pro tip: get a straw to drink your beer with so that you don't have to touch the glass itself. This will make for a much more seamless experience. Crawfish Chef is so much fun. We were the only people there during our two hour crackin' experience, I hope that you all have more customers (maybe this review will help, but I fear that I don't have that much sway with market dynamics). An electric event for if you have friends in town, or if you just want an interactive experience. It's always nice when you trap your finest confidants into a meal where they can't leave until the gloves come off. read more

Crawfish Chef - 4 lbs of Crawfish - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

HANDS DOWN the best seafood boil I've had -- maybe even the best in Seattle. Easily one of my top meals of 2025! This spot nails it all: balance, freshness, bold seasoning, and generous portions. They brought out a variety of sauces for us to sample, and honestly, we loved them all. But the House Sauce stole the show. I'm warning you now -- it's addicting. Packed with real chopped garlic, butter, and the perfect blend of spices, it's easily the best boil sauce I've ever had. I was dipping everything in it. Not only was the sauce incredible, but they were generous with it -- enough to soak every bite, dip sides, and still have leftovers drenched in that buttery, garlicky goodness. We went with Level 3 spice, and it was spot on -- just the right amount of kick, while still letting the natural sweetness of the seafood shine. The sauce clung perfectly without overpowering. We got the Combo #4 - 3 Lobster Tails, 1 lb Shrimp (head-on), 2 Corn, 2 Potatoes + added Dungeness Crab. PERFECTION. And I could come back just for their shrimp fried rice. Service was quick and friendly and love that the space was bright and bright with tall ceiling. read more

Got the combo number 4 which came with 2 lobster tails, potatoes, and shrimp with their house sauce. I really liked that they brought samples of their top 4 sauces without me asking them to figure out what sauce I wanted. I got the house sauce with medium spicy. Got it with a strawberry lemonade. Lots of tables to sit at. I took the leftovers home to reuse to make my own garlic noodles and put more seafood and potatoes in the sauce. I can tell that it's very ghee based because none of the sauce solidified but made for excellent reuse for other dishes. read more

Probably the best seafood boil I've ever had! First off, they gave us a sauce sampler to try all of the sauces before we decided. I've never seen that before and we chose the garlic lemon pepper, which we've never tried before and really enjoyed. We got the special deal of 4lb (crawfish, mussels, shrimp, king crab, potato, corn, sausage) for $99, plus a fried calamari basket with fries. The seafood was very fresh and flavorful! The place was also spacious and clean. Staff checked in on us often for water refills and a change of gloves when needed. Would definitely return! read more

CRAWFISH CHEF @ NORTH SEATTLE This spot is located in North Seattle, there is no parking lot, however lots of street parking is available and luckily we found one right out front, free for two hours on Sundays. Ambiance of the place was modern new - I really enjoyed how they decorated the bar area. My reservation was made through the phone for 5:00pm - it was so much traffic that my ETA was 5:36pm so I called to change my reservation time and they were super accommodating. We ordered the Seafood Fried Rice & Combo 3, which had a pound of shrimp, pound of snow crab, and two potatoes, and two corn on the cob, as well as their Strawberry Lemonade that included free refills. In preparation, they gave us a plate of their sauces for a "tasting" to see which you'd prefer, the tops flavors were Cajun and House. They also gave us bibs, gloves, and this spicy seasoning with a couple of limes. The food came out steaming hot, it was so delicious. Both the fried rice and seafood was incredible, full of flavor, hot, and fresh. Service was great - our server was kind and checked up on us. I really enjoyed the shrimp, however I noticed there was an excessive amount of shrimp poop on multiple ones where it gave a very bitter taste and odd texture. Overall, i'd definitely come back to this location. It's also a franchise and has one in Bellevue as well! Definitely recommend. read more

Came here for a date night and it was pretty empty. I will say that the seating is pretty nice with plenty of TVs around to see a game or 2. Bar looked pretty stacked, but no drinks for us. Place was clean and didn't feel sticky or stinky. Service was great and I love how they dropped off samples of their seasonings. I ordered the pound of crawfish in cajun and Wifey got the pound of shrimp in the garlic butter. It was nice for the server to inform us of the seasons for certain selections and whether they were fresh or shipped in. The one downfall was how it seemed that the food wasn't boiled in the sauce. Most other places I would find felt like their season was all up in the food. This one felt like the season was added in after cooking and tossed around. If you add in the extras...I feel this is where they shine. Got a whole sausage link and not cut up. That felt like they were showing the value here. It was a pretty good sausage too. What really threw me off was when you can add in noodles! What that what? I had to get that just to try it out. Not bad. I'm not really gonna go over the cost because its all by market price and I still haven't met anyone who keeps up with those things. Stock market yeah...but not seafood prices. Not writing off the place completely...but its a maybe if we're in the area and our friends wanna go. read more

The seafood was actually really good, but there were a couple of things that were strange! After we had sat down, the server brought us four little cups of sauces. Did not explain what they were- just put them on our table. We figured out they were samples of the different sauces you could add to the seafood boil. This was great, but I think for newbies it might be good for the server to explain what they were! When we ordered the server told us it would be an extra $6 to remove the heads from the shrimp. Kind of weird, but okay. When we got the food everything looked and tasted great- and lots of seafood for the price. But the weird thing was we only got one potato each and one small corn cob each. These are so inexpensive- so why skimp on them? We asked the waiter why there was so little potato and corn and he said "my manager is stingy". Which makes no sense because that stuff is so cheap. Anyhow, I do recommend this place- it was pretty yummy. But definitely order extra corn and potatoes if you like them! read more

The seafood boils are to die for and packed with so much flavor! The lemon pepper sauce was incredible and the crab melts in your mouth. Everyone who works there is so sweet, too.

We came to Crawfish Chef hungry! We haven't really ate all day and we brought my mom here to experience something new. It was kind of hard to find parking along the streets, but there is a parking garage for guests. The parking is really tight, just be very careful. The service here is exceptional! Everyone greeted us when we entered into the restaurant and our waitress was very sweet and helpful. For a party of 4, we ordered the combo 8, and instead of the mussels we were able to substitute with another snow crab. The sauce that we had for the seafood boil was the house sauce with spice level at hot, which is 4 stars. Unfortunately this did not come out spicy/hot. We also ordered the garlic shrimp noodles, too. The noodles were overcooked and I think if this dish had more salt. It would've been able to enjoy it more. Also for my drink, I had to try their cocktail! I ordered the lemon drop/strawberry. That was pretty refreshing on a warm day and I tried took a sip of the mojito, too. Nice, chill and refreshing! As for the ambience, it is a nice spot and lots of room. Large windows with lots of natural light coming in. read more

If you're craving a full-on seafood experience, Crawfish Chef delivers -- and then some. I ordered Combo 8, which came stacked with snow crab, shrimp, crawfish, corn, and potatoes. We swapped out the mussels for an extra pound of crab (because... priorities), and while the substitution was $30, it was totally worth it if you're in it for the crab. The seafood was fresh, seasoned just right, and came out piping hot in that glorious bag of buttery, garlicky goodness. You will get messy, but that's kind of the point. The service was excellent -- the lady helping us was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed without hovering. Big props for that. The ambiance is big and open, with TVs everywhere streaming different channels -- so whether you're into sports, news, or a random cooking show, you'll have something to glance at between bites. Only thing to watch out for is the extra charge on substitutions -- but if you're crab-obsessed like me, you probably won't mind too much. All in all, a solid spot for a messy, satisfying seafood fix. Will definitely be back when the next crab craving hits. read more

Crawfish chef is the newest restaurant in the Roosevelt neighborhood, and I could not be happier. Located right next to the light rail, this restaurant is convenient to stop by for a meal anytime throughout the day. They're open till 10 PM (kitchen closes 9:30 PM) which is great as most places close earlier than that in Seattle. There is ample seating inside with large tables, as well as a full bar. you can choose to order preset combos or create your own seafood boil. They have 4 different sauces that the staff bring you a sampler plate of when you sit, which is so thoughtful to help us figure out which sauce we'd like. We ordered a pound of head on shrimp and jumbo scallops (pound is minimum order for each item) in the house sauce, no spice. We also ordered the soft shell crab with Cajun fries. For drinks, we just got a Thai tea, and they gave us waters in a convenient to-go cup with a straw. read more

Crawfish Chef - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Instead of making the trip down to Tukwila or up north toward Lynwood to Pier 88, just along Roosevelt Way, you'll find yourself at Crawfish Chef. My partner and I visited on a random Tuesday evening, around 8:30 PM. Mind you, the establishment closes at 10 PM. It's spacious with many tables and a pretty big bar with a pretty big tv above it haha! Not once did we feel rushed, or pressured to order once we were settled in. Our waitress was knowledgeable and gave us great suggestions, along with a sampler with all of the different labeled sauces. Don't forget about your bib and gloves (that's my favorite part lol)! We decided to go with Combo #4 ($98): -- 1 lb crawfish -- 1 lb shrimp -- 3 lobster tails -- Corn -- Potatoes + a side of white rice. We opted for another lb of crawfish instead of shrimp... just personal preference :) Our seafood boil came out super quickly and was steaming with the aroma of all of that Cajun goodness! There were two other individuals who came in after us, and even then, they weren't pressured to hurry up and order nor were they refused service. Love that! Btw, as far as parking... you could struggle to find street parking, OR you could go to the free retail garage just a few doors down. It even has EV charging stations (not free unfortunately). TLDR; New seafood boil restaurant in North Seattle. Quick and friendly service. Tasty Cajun flavors. Not sponsored. read more
