We never saw our waitress again. My hubby had to go find someone for utensils to crack our crab legs. We were told we could only get one set. That's all they had. She came back and said they didn't have any at all. People steal them. Like what? How are you going to sell crab legs and you can't even eat them. We tried to use a fork but some of the legs are hard to open without cracking them. Reasonably priced for what you get. Would go back but order to go.

First time reviewing here though... But when crawfish season isn't in, atmosphere isn't the same. Authentic family owned Louisiana style, Vietnamese cooking. Cons, Down side, no wings are sold here at all. You'd think to implement wings when your hot seller is out. And generally those shrimp and rice plates are average based on the taste. I just come here for crawfish mainly when in season. If you tried other Vietnamese spots you'll understand what I'm saying. But rice can be too saturated with oil as well. Just my thought. But signature sauce makes rice taste better. No dirty rice here either? Not a bad choice around when wanting Cajun though.

A few months ago, they expanded their menu and ever since then, they have consistent great food and wonderful service. I recommend the cóctel de camarones, cóctel mixto, mojarra frita, the soup, the shrimp in any style (but my favorite is the zarandeado style), the fish filet platter in any style, and the ceviche. I am very picky with my ceviche but I really like it here! On the weekends, they have live music. If it is too loud for you, you can sit at their spacious patio.

Unfortunately, after being customers of this restaurant for more than six years, our last visit was…read moreso disappointing that we will not be coming back. First, we waited MORE THAN AN HOUR for our food. When it finally arrived, I had ordered the fish and shrimp with the Sirena-style sauce. The dish was EXTREMELY spicy -- and I'm Mexican! I can handle spicy food, but this was honestly inedible for me. I immediately returned the plate and clearly explained that I could not eat it because of how extremely spicy it was. Then came the part that really ruined the experience. When it was time to pay, they actually tried to CHARGE ME for the plate I had returned and could not eat. When I questioned why I was being charged for food that I had sent back, especially after waiting more than an hour for it, they offered me a 20% discount on that plate. Seriously? A 20% discount for food I DIDN'T EAT? I told them, "So you're still going to charge me for something I wasn't even able to eat and that took over an hour to serve?" At that point, I said I would pay it, but they had just lost customers who had been coming here for more than SIX YEARS. The waitress went to the back again, and only then did they finally decide to remove the charge. What made the situation even worse was that the lady in the back who apparently made the decision never even bothered to come out, speak with us, apologize, or acknowledge what happened. She left the waitress to deal with the entire situation. We were also there with a friend who had recently recommended this restaurant to a family member because they believed this place was really good. After this experience, even they were embarrassed by the recommendation and agreed that both the service and the food were terrible. Restaurants can have bad days, and mistakes happen. But making customers wait over an hour, serving a dish they cannot eat, attempting to charge them for the returned food, and then initially offering only a 20% discount instead of simply making things right is unacceptable customer service. After more than six years of coming here, this experience was enough for us. WE WILL NOT BE BACK.

We originally…read moreintended to have lunch at the San Jacinto Monument Cafe, but they are not very disabled-friendly (I have a prosthetic and walk with a cane). Nonetheless, we had a very enjoyable meal and met a charming young lady by the name of Niki, who was our server this afternoon. She is the regular bartender on the weekends, and with her outgoing personality, I am sure she does well! Now to why y'all are reading this review: the food was seriously good. The fried pickles were like thin potato chips--nice and crispy. I had the seafood basket with fresh oysters, catfish, hushpuppies, and crawfish tails. My friend had the tilapia, and her French fries were nice and crispy, which she thoroughly enjoyed. It was a good afternoon to be had by all. Give them a try--you'll be glad you did.

Sin embargo, hoy he pedido una ensalada de gambas y las gambas estaban buenas como siempre. No pude disfrutar de mi comida de la manera que me hubiera gustado porque quien hizo mi ensalada parecía tirar juntos. Tenía muchos cogollos de lechuga y col que son muy amargos. Los pepinillos eran de diferentes dimensiones y formas lo que me hizo pensar que tiraron lo que tenían para hacer mi ensalada. Pedí aderezo italiano pero no se porque me dieron ranch en su lugar. Servicios: La joven que me recibió parecía agradable, pero la otra señora, que podría ser la gerente, no era agradable. Ella nunca sonrió y parecía que tal vez ella estaba molesta por algo. No sé, pero espero que la próxima vez sea mejor. Les daré otra oportunidad porque quizás hoy era un mal día ‍ Ambiente: El restaurante estaba limpio como de costumbre y sólo había 3 personas cuando llegué y 2 cuando me fui. Es relativamente tranquilo porque no hay mucha gente siempre que estoy allí.

I still have no idea what their actual catfish tastes like because I was flat-out lied to. None of the fish had any flavor whatsoever. The 6-piece butterfly shrimp was equally bland, offering zero seasoning and fried entirely TOO HARD!! For my side, I substituted the fries for shrimp fried rice, which turned out to be a massive mistake. The rice tasted incredibly old. It was very obvious they mixed hard, stale old rice with a newer batch to try and camouflage it. The only saving graces on the entire plate were the buttered toast and a miniature serving of coleslaw. Everything else was a total waste. To top it all off, they failed to provide any condiments, silverware, or napkins with the order. Between the deceptive fish swap, the old rice, and the complete lack of basic takeout essentials, this meal was absolutely not worth the price. I highly doubt I will ever be returning.

I ordered the fried catfish sandwich with fries and shrimp fried rice. I'm about 98% sure the fish in the sandwich was not catfish. We eat catfish regularly in my household, and this didn't taste or look like it. The fries were fine (crinkle), nothing special, they give you a small amount. The shrimp fried rice was exactly that...shrimp, rice and some veggies. Very basic and pretty bland. They do provide soy sauce packets, but the brand they use honestly tastes like nothing and didn't add any flavor at all. That definitely didn't help. Would I come back? Only if there were no other options around and I just needed something quick to eat . Not horrible, just very basic. Hence the 3 stars.
