I stumbled on this place looking for fried oyster po-boys. We ordered two, they came with french fries, and we ordered fried calamari. We picked up our order at 4:30, no customers in the restaurant at that time. The oysters were very small, over cooked and had no oyster flavor at all. The calamari is mixed with fried onions, I would guess about a 50% mix. The onions were good but I didn't see that mentioned on the menu. The calamari is strips, not rings but still OK, but not great. My spouse was so turned off she's vowed to never go there for any reason. I think that some of the seafood might be OK but I would not get fried oysters or calamari again. Finally the above order was over $65 with a 15% tip. If you go there I hope you have a better experience than we did. read more

Wow! Seafood-the favorite. Asian food-love it. Great Asian & seafood all in one restaurant = dining bliss! The gumbo was lovely with a dark roux & well spiced. The pork/shrimp egg roll was, not exaggerating, the best egg roll I've ever eaten. Shrimp with garlic noodles was spot on in flavor & it featured big, beautiful, plump shrimp. Our server, Phoebe, was attentive & efficient. I can't wait to go back & try other tempting items this menu features! read more

This restaurant was absolutely horrible! I ordered the boil and my food came out in less than 10 minutes. I was happy that I got my food quickly but when I tasted it was absolutely disgusting. The shrimp with chewy and cold. That's why the food comes out so fast because they don't cook it! I also ordered the crab. It was bland with no flavor! When I told the server that I didn't like the food, she got her manager who explained to me that I was not able to get a refund even though I only took one bite! Do not come here it's overpriced, you get horrible service, and disgusting food. The manager was totally incompetent and extremely rude to us. This food tasted like something you would get from Quiktrip. Totally disgusted and disappointed will definitely not be back! read more

I enjoyed all my favorite foods here this Valentines Day. I had spicy garlic crawfish , Snow Crab , catfish nuggets, crawfish fried rice , and blackened fish . They have a great liquor selection, aswell as Kareoke. They get crowded quick , so avoid the wait by reserving your table !! Will be coming back this weekend for the soft shell crab!!! read more

This place is a gem. Hits the spot for Cajun and Vietnamese food. My friend and I make sure to come once a week. Staff and owner are friendly and make sure you are enjoying your meal.

Food tasted frozen and had little flavor. Staff was friendly only reason for 2 stars.

This place is amazing!! Took my kids and all of the dishes we ordered were so delicious. The server was amazing and helpful and the manager came to ask our thoughts. Th music was not too loud. I highly recommend this place. read more

The space and ambiance perfect for happy hour, date night, lunch, dinner or event sports! The owner Han has an amazing staff and the food 10/10! read more

Horrible interior. Server was not knowledgeable about dishes. Most mixed drinks they did not have or did not know how to make. Fried tofu was good. Tom Yum soup was good. Maybe give them some more time to mature. read more

Tired of driving 30mins for a boil bag when I'm craving it..so happy we have a new seafood spot. The service was nice, just a little confusing but they just opened. Hate to see a busy day right now but it seems like it will get better. I mixed my sauce as while garlic butter and Louisiana seasoning, it was decent just missing something sweet or something. I had boil bag from the west coast, south and east. This isn't hot and juicy so don't expect it. Add mussels to your boil bag option. I would definitely try this place again, the pasta look amazing. read more

the Foods here so yummy , i really love the seafoods , service friendly very nice, will come here oftenly

We had a great experience at this restaurant. The food was yummy, and the service was awesome.

Here's my honest take on the experience: The reviews and pictures had us excited, but they turned out to be quite misleading. My husband ordered the fried fish and shrimp, and before we even made it home, he got sick. Unfortunately, that's not an exaggeration. I ordered the "shrimp boil" with potatoes, eggs, and sausage. The shrimp were so overcooked that peeling them was nearly impossible, and I could only manage to eat one. The eggs were also overcooked, and the entire dish was completely flavorless. On the bright side, the waiter was very kind and understanding of our situation. I requested a refund, and while the manager did agree to refund the shrimp, they wouldn't refund the eggs, sausage, or potatoes, even though they were left untouched. I genuinely don't want to sound overly negative, but this experience was a big disappointment. :/ read more

My wife and I had "late lunch/early dinner" there yesterday (they open at 3 pm). First time there and it will not be our last. Jose, our server, was excellent. Checked on us multiple times during the meal. And what a meal - I had a cup of gumbo and the shrimp/oyster platter with Cajun fries. My wife ahd the shrimp platter. The gumbp had a very dark tasty rue and filled just right with sausage and shrimp. It was excellent, as well. Both the shrimp and oysters were fried in a very light batter - reminded me some of tempura. The oysters were melt-in-your mouth with a crunch from the batter. The shrimp were large, tasty and crunchy. This was some of the best fried seafood we have had in ages. Looking forward to going back and hope we get Jose as our server again. read more

So far so good for this soft open! Young, attentive and enthusiastic floor staff serving what I would call 'shrimp folk' fusion menu choices, with chefs specializing in Southeast Asian / Cajun cuisine, respectively. Po Boys were thoroughly enjoyable, but there's so much to the selection, including family-style boil pot selections. Great opportunities for cuisine tours under one roof! read more

I'm always enjoying the pasta when I'm there and it's always so delicious during lunch so I have no complaints about it.

JC Seafood Fried Rice is super yummy, my family favorite. Lobster Garlic Noodles plate is not big enough for my big boy, the pasta is very flavorful. When hungry he can eat 2 plates easy. My little girl likes the Chicken Pasta. I can see she will order this same dish again. Good foods/good service/restaurant is big, well decorated and super clean. We certainly will be back again. read more

Seafood needed more seasoning for sure. Certainly not worth the $91 I spent. The wait staff are very nice not but not very attentive.

The egg rolls and the fish sauce was amazing! The wings had a nice crunchy coating and the lemon pepper made them even better. The only thing I would suggest is the sauce for the boiled shirmp bags. The sauce was clumpy and needed a little salt. The spice was good though. I asked for hot and that's exactly what I got! Loved it! The service was really good too. Food came out quick and hot. The server was nice and very attentive. The facility was clean and calming. We're pretty inside. Spacious too. Definitely recommend. The pricing wasn't too bad, it was worth what we got. read more

We always come here to eat crawfish because they are fresh and really tasty. This restaurant is the must go place in town for us. They serve both Vietnamese and American food. Just want to recommend every body to come to try! read more

This Cajun/ Viet restaurant serves a variety of food from Vietnamese to American dishes that you can choose. On Saturday night they have live karaoke. I myself a big music/karaoke guy, love the atmosphere at this restaurant on Saturday nights. read more

Wow. Pretty good. All the "óc" dishes. Hard to find in Austin. Usually have to go to Dallas and houston to get those kind of dishes. Just came to Austin for a meeting. So had to come here haha read more

When this place first opened, my friend called me to come out for the grand opening. I couldn't make it because I had my mom's birthday on the same day, but I did have a chance to go there with my cousin months later. The food they served were good. We had the hot pot, seafood salad, jumbo squid, and something else cousin ordered.The food came out in a timely manner. The owner even gave us a bottle of wine on the house. I don't drink, but my cousin and his wife drank it, also my mom, too, but a little. My cousin's wife even went up and sang a couple of songs. We all had a great fun night. It was a great experience and good food. The service we received was excellent. I'm not sure why there are people given 1 star reviews. Maybe because we can not please everyone. Great service and good food. I'll come back for more. read more

The food was fabulous. I had the garlic Shrimp dinner. The gumbo was delicious. My husband and son had fried shrimp platter. Anna was an excellent server. Definitely will be back so many choices to try!! read more

The garlic noodles were very delicious! Atmosphere is very wholesome with a few tables of people enjoying an evening of beer

People are fun and talkative. Informative on the menu. This place just opened and as a person who loves seafood you need to come here. Crawfish, poorboy, and catfish is amazing. They do seafood correctly. Amazing!!! read more

The boiled crawfish was good. Service was very delayed. My husband ordered a Po Boy and it didn't get served until the rest of us were done with the food. The waiter seemed confused about any question we would ask. Definitely room for improvement in the service. read more

After seeing all the good reviews on google, we decided to come and check this place out. We were greeted with water and they had a bunch of different menus for you to look at. My mind was very scattered since there were 4 different menus to look at. They had one for happy hour, one for drinks, one for their main menu, and one for their seafood boil combos. We ended up ordering the oyster po'boy, fried shrimp/fish platter, seafood tom yum soup, and the original crispy wings. 1. Oyster po'boy - As one of the reviews stated, there was absolutely no flavor. it was literally just a regular sandwich with fried oysters in it slapped with lettuce. The bread tasted stale. 2. Fried shrimp and fish platter- It consisted of tiny pieces of shrimp and some fried fish filets. The batter on the fish was disgusting. Something was definitely off about it. It might have been sat out too long or they don't use fresh batter every day. 3. Seafood tom yum soup- This was the best dish that we ordered. It had a good amount of seafood and it was bursting with flavor. It was nice that we got a side of rice with it. 4. Original crispy wings- This was the worst dish that we ordered. I saw on this yelp page that there was one customer that raved that this place had "some of the best" they have ever had. What a joke!!! The breading was not even edible! It was not crispy, it tasted microwaved. The skin was flabby, it tasted like they just fried it and the batter had no taste. Items on the menu that made us laugh- FROZEN crawfish for $13/pound. Please have a reality check. read more

After watching a movie at Southwest Theater, we went to Juicy Claws for the first time.The meal was delicious! Everything had wonderful flavors and tasted fresh! The ambience and service were excellent! The dining experience at Juicy Claws Restaurant was fantastic for my family! Without a doubt, we'll return soon! I hope they remain like this! Finding a good restaurant in town is difficult, especially on this side of town! read more

I went to eat here with my daughters and my mom. We decided to come in after watching the Barbie movie and it was a big disappointment because it was overpriced, under seasoned seafood. Also, they do not have raw oysters and their crawfish is frozen. But we still wanted to try it, so we decided to order the boil combo 5. We got garlic butter, medium spice. The spice level was perfect for us, but we did not care for the seasoning at all. Overall, the service was 5/5, she was attentive and gave us good energy the entire time. However, the food is 1/5 and not worth the high price. Never returning. It was a big waste of our money. read more

Decided to check this place out due to their high reviews on Google, and here is my experience. Their menu is more expensive than other competitors in the area, which is fine. But what threw me off was the fact that they are selling FROZEN crawfish for THIRTEEN DOLLARS A POUND. U can't modify any of the combinations boils, so your stuck with the crawfish unless you get a more expensive boil and get more of everything else. I ordered #1 and got the Louisiana style. There was no sauce on it, they gon put the seafood in a bag and boil it with poweder into the water and charge $40+ dollars for it. There was no flavor. Waste of my money I work hard for.The only good thing about this place was that the staff was friendly. They also have fruit and milk tea, which is odd for a seafood place to carry but at $7? Ridiculous. Never returning. read more

Amazing service; everyone was kind and the food came out at the perfect time. The food was delicious. My personal favorite dish was the lobster garlic noodles! read more

Great food!! The service on Monday night was welcoming, speedy, warm and friendly. Definitely coming back.

Absolutely delicious!!! The price is totally worth the amount of food and the quality, staff is incredibly friendly and helpful! Lin was especially outstanding and knowledgeable, she was so helpful and accommodating, I couldn't recommend coming here more!!! read more

We love to go here for Happy Hour. They have great specials then. I frequently get the fish nuggets. The batter on them is light, not quite tempura but not like on fried chicken either. I also have the shrimp satay often. I like that I can get boiled potatoes instead of fries because I don't like to do fried + fried. If it is cold outside or you want something lighter, their gumbo and clam chowder are both good! We also like the atmosphere. The ceilings are high, and it is airy and open. There are usually ball games playing on the TVs, so it would be a fun place to go for a watch party. read more

Food is delicious and the service is great! The atmosphere is also very nice. Give this place a try!
