Great chow! Awesome service. Delicious seafood and lots of great mix it up options. My favorite was the salt and pepper grabs. Delicious! Was worth the drive across town. Clean and nice inside.

1000000/10 I had a party of 3 walk in a little before closing. The owners Okay'd us to sit & eat. Our first time here as we're from out of town. The food was FRESH & FULL OF FLAVOR My boyfriend got a strawberry margarita & it was not too strong or too sweet. Staff was amazing, attentive & friendly. Highly recommend this place!! We got the combo 6&8 with heat sauce.

If you're a fan of crawfish and seafood boil with an Asian inspired flavor, this is a great spot. Crawfish, crabs and shrimp are fresh, juicy and delightfully packed with seasoning that seeps into every bite. It is also nice to have rice option on the menu! The Sauce, the signature boil, has just the right amount of heat. The sausages are sautéed well before entering the boil which adds a layer of texture to the meal. Potatoes are firm and buttery, not mushy! There is only one spice level for The Sauce, which is Medium between 1 to 5 it sits well on 3. Sweet. Savory. Spicy! Several seafood combo options and add ons as well as other non-seafood entrees. Good selection of beer and wine. Restaurant is clean and welcoming, staff are friendly and attentive! Dessert offerings also available. We arrived early @6 on a Saturday night and seated immediately.

We ordered to-go from Crawfish King in Live Oak, and honestly? For takeout, they nailed it. Everything held up way better than expected--no soggy mess, no cold seafood sadness. We got the crawfish boil, snow crab, and head-on shrimp. All super fresh, well-cooked, and seasoned right. The crawfish especially were plump and easy to peel, which is always a gamble with takeout, but they came through. We chose two sauces: * The garlic butter was light and subtle--not heavy or greasy, which let the seafood shine. * The house sauce brought the heat. More spice, deeper flavor, and honestly the better pick if you want that classic boil kick. We wrapped it up with mango sticky rice, which... yeah, we didn't love. The mango was fine, but the rice was undercooked--kind of tough, which threw the texture way off. A bit of a letdown after such a solid main meal. That said, for a casual seafood boil to-go, they really delivered. Flavorful, fresh, and still hot by the time we dug in. Will definitely order again--just might skip dessert next time.

Decent meal. Small, quiet restaurant with friendly service. A solid stop if you're in the area.

Crawfish that's supposed to be mid season.

I don't know if the owner changed, the chef changed, the distributor changed or all three but, the crawfish we bought today, 5/11/25, was bad. Half the bag tasted like it was frozen, and was boiled in water, the other half was over cooked or dead before it hit the boil. The picture showed how small the majority of the crawfish was and the other tail shows how over cooked it was. On top of all that I was overcharged for my order, but, fortunately they said they will refund me the difference so we will see.

This is by far my favorite crawfish spot in North San Antonio. I will drive all the way from Seguin to get crawfish from this spot. The seasoning is Vietnamese style, which just means that it has a lot of flavor, but not like the Cajun flavor. Honestly, their style of crawfish is now a preference since you get flavor as well as a little heat if you desire. Absolutely delicious crawfish. The staff is friendly and they have a good vibe. You can tell that people like to come here for a good time.

Wow I did not know that I needed a Lao Cajun fusion dinner in my life. The food was incredible. This is giving major hidden gem vibes. It's just outside of San Antonio, with great pricing and an excellent menu. The service was friendly and efficient. I would highly recommend this cool and yummy spot in town.

A local favorite with great service and delicious food. I was craving crawfish and this spot did not disappoint.

Snow crab corn egg potato sausage shrimp

The house sauce was pretty good. I got it on the side bc I thought it would be spicy but since it wasn't I went ahead and put it all over. The crab legs were delicious and the shrimp. The corn was fine and potatoes were under cooked or sitting in water too long and I didn't finish the potatoes because of the water inside. The sausage was over cooked and sweet. Maybe it's the brand they use. It took a while to get my order. I had ordered oysters when I sat down as an appetizer but they weren't put in by the waitress so they came after the boil and I couldn't finish them. They were super watery like the potato. Although, I expected some water with the raw oysters. Great portions though and the ambiance was ok. About normal for a seafood place. A lot of options on the new menu. The waiters were nice. Update: I now understand why the sausage tasted the way they did. I didn't realize this was a Thai/lao seafood place.

Tom yum
M C.

Seafood Laotian-style! From good-sized oysters in shells, crab legs, tom yum, crawfish, lobster tails, to shrimp. Spicy to not-so-spicy flavors. The service was good. The place was clean, and quiet, and looked like a new place in Live Oak almost in the Universal City area.

If the picture is any indication of how we feel, I'd say... we were quite disappointed.... that there's no more in thos bowls. We ordered Combo #6 with Crawfish and Shrimp (head-on) and a 1lb of shrimp. We got "The Sauce" and the Cajun sauce mixed in one. So glad we did!! It was so yummy! Oh yah, we also got the fried rice with chicken.. damn that was some good fried rice. Definitely coming back and bringing family here when they visit.

Snow crab, shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes
Chris B.

Absolutely delicious Everything was seasoned well and tasted great. We picked up and took it home and was still hot when we got home. The sausage had a little kick to it and the potatoes where sweet and had a little spice at the end. Even the corn was on point If you going through Live Oak Texas definitely check em out ! Service was great, they even stayed open for a minute longer so we could pick up our order.

Absolutely delicious   We had snow crab, shrimp,sausage,corn and potatoes. Everything was seasoned well and tasted great.

One of the best under estimate seafood place I have been too. I highly recommend this place if you like a little Southeast Asian touch.

This place is amazing! It's located on the side of a gas station but it's extremely clean and cozy…read more It seems to be newer and the decor is really inviting. The service we received from one of the co-owners was extremely friendly and helpful. She even suggested our group to put two of the tables together so we could all easily sit together. Since we wanted to try as much as possible, I got the 2 meat plate and it was delicious. She recommended I try the short ribs and chopped brisket and she couldn't have been more right! The food was extremely flavorful. My sides were baked beans and corn. The corn was so good and so were the baked beans! My coworker got the catfish platter with potato salad and red beans & rice. All of it was also delicious and I would've been happy to have gotten that, too! All-in-all, a great experience and I have nothing bad to say. We're all very happy that we tried it on a whim and hope to be back on a Saturday to try the special menu! A great quick bite outside of Randolph AFB.

Okay, my mom really wanted to try this place so I bought her lunch. She works on Randolph and this…read moreis just outside of the base. Decision decision, the menu is small but it's not lol..I decided on the two meat platter but got all ribs because it came with a side, which I got the mac & cheese, they couldn't kept it it wasn't terrible but just literally macaroni noodles and a cheese, nothing to write home about. The ribs were tender but if I go back, I'd ask for the bbq on the side because neither I nor my mother are sauce fans and although it wasn't bad, I could've done without it. It was a bit tangy and there was a lot! They even gave us more on the side. I also got some banana pudding and that, I'd go back for! It was goodttt ! This is a veteran owned establishment (I come from a military family, my mom served twenty years in the US Army) but I myself am not a veteran but I love to support!
