I come here once in a while because I miss the garlic butter crawfish flavor even though sometimes it is not in season yet. You feel me? I got the medium spicy (level 1) garlic butter crawfish 2 lbs so $14 total. I like coming here bc of the convenient variety of sauces you can walk up and get anytime. There's hot butter, mayo, pepper, cayenne, salt, lemons, etc. I also tried the garlic noodles. It gave me a little stomachache. Maybe it was just me but I thought it tastes decent. Now I know it's not for me. Finally I got the fries with crawfish to help me fill up but it was a small serving for $3.99. Totally not worth bc it was regular Cajun fries. read more

The seasoning was great! The crawfish was small and weren't fresh. This place was a little pricier than other crawfish restaurants because you have to purchase the corn, potatoes, and sausage separately rather than it be included in there. They have three flavors to choose from: garlic and butter, cajun, and sweet and sour. I mixed the garlic and butter with the cajun, and they charged me $1 more. I can tell they're trying to make money everywhere they can. The place is small, and you have to serve yourself by putting out the tablecloth, getting your own water and utensils, and throwing out your trash. They have two big screen TVs to watch sports on. The guys working there were friendly as well. This is a family-friendly establishment. read more

Decent place, but overall it was very overrated considering the epic wait out the door. Not worth the wait. I appreciate the cajun vietnamese fusion so they get points for creativity- the crawfish pho was tasty. We got 2 types of crawfish (cajun spicy & garlic butter) which were pretty good and crazy spicy but overall the crawfish were small to medium sized versus other places. We got few pounds of blue crab which were so old and/or overcooked it was like eating fishy mashed potatoes- i do NOT recommend the crab & this place loses points for having funky water creatures when thats their specialty. Everything comes separately in plastic bags, which is weird and a ginormous waste of plastic versus just serving them on big trays or buckets. read more

Came with friends to get a crawfish fix and was not disappointed. I had eaten down the street at another place a week prior and they were small to medium. These were medium to large and overall the place was very impressive. I've never had garlic butter crawfish, just cajun. We shared both and they were delicious! You have your choice of medium, spicy and something else. When they say spicy, they aren't playing. We were crying laughing at how hot they were. However, we managed to eat them all, but opted for the medium on the next round. 6.99 a lb too, so reasonable! Line was out the door, so bring some patience, and booze (it's BYOB). read more

crawfish is good, gumbo is good, crab clusters was AMAZING. i had ordered "one" crab leg, and they gave me 3 whole clusters for such a cheap price. very impressed read more

LA Crawfish - Gumbo - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

I am really liking the new location. Beware though because they are BUSY. We came here on a Tuesday night and it was packed solid and this parking lot gets full fast. Right now the crawfish are still a bit small because the of the harsh weather, but the crawfish aren't frozen and the flavors are great. I love the fresh oysters on the menu now. We tried the Japanese ponzu which was a bit sweet for my taste. The Thai chili was really good and not too spicy at all. If anything it could be a little spicier for me. All in all I love that there is a Asian style crawfish place inside the loop now. Oh remember....BYOB! read more

The Garlic Butter Crawfish and Snow Crabs are the best! The sausage link and red potatoes on the side are staples when you're having crawfish and they're seasoned to perfection (mouth-watering). I love the fact that they use a lot of garlic and they have extra seasonings and dipping butter to your liking. Let's talk about BYOB...enough said! The staff is down to earth and they make sure you're comfortable. It does get really busy at times but they make sure the seated guests don't feel rushed by the guests waiting in line. Ummm - the parking could be better...IJS! BTW - every season is crawfish season at this place! Get sloppy and let's inhale some crawfish! read more

Amazing food and service! The crawfish pho sounded strange but it is a hidden gem. I highly recommend it!!! read more

See all

This place is great! I stopped by last week with a friend and really enjoyed it. We ordered 5lbs of crawfish and it was really good. What's really cool about this place is that it's BYOB. Even though the crawfish here are pretty reasonably priced it's nice to be able to bring your own booze as to not have to pay a bunch more for alcohol. What's also really cool is that they give you a giant piece if plastic to cover the table so you can get the experience of a backyard boil by getting everything out and all over the table. The hot butter and seasonings are pretty great too if you enjoy dipping your crawfish. I will certainly be back. read more

NEW LOCATION IN THE LOOP - SO MUCH EASIER AND CONVENIENT - SAME GREAT TASTE AND SELECTION! I just reviewed the other location on Blalock ---- these guys are AMAZING!!! The food, the selection, and just the casual and relaxed environment with BYOB option - I mean, what else can you ask for. Ive been going out of my way to the Blalock location, for the past year, and this New Yorker is IN LOVE AND HOOKED on these mudbugs. But not just any mudbugs - LA CRAWFISH mudbugs!!! The new location, is so much easier for me to get to, now that it's in the loop; it's in a perfect spot --- parking can be a bit of a challenge due to it sharing with other locations in the strip mall its now located in. But if you get there before end of work, or after the rush hour scene, you should be fine. Great location once again - its right behind the Greenway Movie Theater, and its not too far from my favorite sushi place- OISHII! :) The decor is more sporty, and you are no longer in the middle of an asian supermarket - although thats what made the place on Blalock quirky and unique to me. It's new, so the staff is young and super friendly, and everything just looks new and inviting. 5 star all the way - wish I could give them 10 stars!!! read more

The crawfish is very tasty and are very spicy. Their crawfish empanadas are off the chain!!! LOVE this place! I would definitely recommended it to anyone. read more

LA Crawfish - Crawfish empanadas - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

I always wanted a very authentic experience of Cajun seafood but I never thought I'd get it at a Asian market place. It had a simple utilitarian feel to the place with other shops in clear view. The girls at the register were nice enough if not too welcoming. We got at a pound 2 pounds of crawfish and 3 pounds of crabs with different favors. They were very flavorful as they were marinated in steaming hot spicy sauces and were tender and fresh. We had to get very hands on with them and as nasty as it seemed at first, it was very fun. Breaking the heads off shrimp and scaling them was gross but also exciting. The crab was also fun to decompose. The best part was when all the mess was suddenly gone with one fell sweep of picking up the tablecloth. Overall I would highly recommend this place. read more

I love this place so much.. It's always my go to lunch spot when I'm tired of the drive thrus in the area! All the employees are always nice and welcoming with everyone they encounter! La Crawfish is my fav spot in season and out of season! All the food is good!! Whoop whoop - -LaCrawfisher Kee read more

LA Crafish actually has really good Pho, the crawfish is decent as well. The only downside is that after you eat it you want to go "mimis". I wish there was a way to prepare it more healthy. read more

LA Crawfish - We killed that meal cucumber vodka everytime we link up - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

I love crawfish. But not from here. I love oysters. But not from here. The crawfish seasoning is not good. The sauce on the raw oysters is not good either. The flavor just doesn't mix very well. I've tried this place a couple times just to make sure it wasn't just an off day but nope. Everyday is an off day. read more

LA Crawfish - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

There are SO MANY great crawfish places in town that do a good job with their seasoning and the cooking of their crawfish. Every time I have come to LA Crawfish, the crawfish doesn't taste fresh and is usually overcooked. I am not sure if they use frozen crawfish or not, but it doesnt match up to par with some others in town. Their pho is average in my opinion, but I would come here for crawfish over pho. It just happens to be the only crawfish in the area for work, so when the craving is strong enough, it is the closest thing I can get for a quick lunch. Their flavors are pretty good. It is not very spicy, so ask for extra spicy if you like it hot. They do, however, have AMAZING WINGS! I have no idea what they fry them in, but they are so good! read more

I definitely like the 99 ranch location much more than this one. The parking stinks, but there are some reserved spots for customers. I ordered my usual garlic butter, in medium spice. I wish they had mild! I'm not a spice person. No complaints other than there was a lot of leg and torn apart crawfish. I also ordered some garlic butter blue crab. I thought it was $5.99/lb but apparently it was 5.99 a piece! That was a surprise. Still pretty good, the crab didn't have that much meat though which was sad. read more

Ordered 3 crawfish pho and 3 lbs of crawfish with 6 potatoes and 6 corn by phone. Went to the restaurant, checked my order and they had given me only 1 pho so I had to wait for the other two pho orders. The crawfish bag felt like 3 lbs so I did not question that. Had the pho on that day and the crawfish the following day. Discovered they gave me only 1 lb of crawfish. The bag was heavy because of the corn and the potatoes. Called them repeatedly to fix the issue but they just kept putting me on hold. I saw the other reviews warning about this and I did check my order but still ended up a victim of their incompetence. By the way, I was charged for the full order ... that part they managed to get right. I would avoid this restaurant. read more

I used to come here all the time before I moved back to Dallas. Crawfish, shrimp, wings, fries, buttery corn, and raspberry tea were our go too's. I think I ate oysters a couple times too. Seasoning and base are exceptional, as well as our service! read more

We loved coming to LA Crawdfish and looked forward to bringing family from out of town. Unfortunately, our last few visits were a total let down. Not only were the king crab clusters small; they were broken. The music was in and out, and fried rice lacked flavor. Won't be back anytime soon. Huge disappointment read more

.I stopped in to this location at 10:59 today (they open at 11) I wasn't feeling well and wanted to get an order of Pho. The "Open" sign was turned on so I went inside. As soon as I walked in, I saw a male and a female behind the counter. Naturally, I approach to place my order. I was immediately greeted by a statement and a look of irritation. I did not get a "Good morning or How may I help you" but what I did get from the guy was "Could you give us a couple of minutes?" I get that people run behind occasionally, but I have a couple of issues with this: 1. Turn the "Open" sign off and keep your doors locked if you're not ready to serve patrons. 2. Why do you need a couple of minutes when you literally open in 1 minute??? 3. At least greet your customer first before acting like their presence is an inconvenience to you, it's literally the LEAST you could do. 4. The lady at the counter never even looked up from what she was doing to offer a greeting either. 5. The 1 star I did give them was because it smelled AMAZING in there. Nonetheless, I ultimately ended up leaving because I felt the customer service I received was rude and dismissive, so I will gladly keep my little old $8. read more

The seafood at this place was flavorful beyond belief; it did not disappoint! I tried the vermicelli bowl with shrimp and crawfish. It was quite garlic-y and spicy, but still enjoyable (but if you can't handle the heat, do not order this!). My boyfriend had a pound of crawfish with the creole seasoning, and he loved them! I've never seen crawfish disappear that quickly, but I guess that's because he's a good ole New Orleans boy. Last but definitely not least, we had the beignets for dessert, which were like beignet fries covered in melted butter and powdered sugar. They were straight up decadent--I'm obsessed!! read more

LA Crawfish - Beignet sticks-- so freakin' good! - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Everything here tastes like an 8 year old made it...by that I mean it's greasy, over spiced, and spiced with the wrong tastes. I had hot wings and fried rice and neither of them tasted right. I just know I'm leaving here with a stomach ache. Yup...3 hours later I was in the bathroom crapping my guts out. read more

Pretty disappointed.. this is not a place for everybody.. im a person who cant handle spicy at all, this place has no option with no spicy.. at best they have mild, and their mild was pretty spicy.. service was also bad.. i recommend La fisherman read more

This place is awesome. So awesome that I eat here several times a week. The hot and sour crab legs, sweet and sour chicken wings, crawfish, Beignet fries, Pho, shrimp poboy I've almost had the whole menu and everything is good. The staff is friendly and cool too. Its also BYOB-! They have two flat screens that always has on great sporting event's. Love this place-!!! read more

My favorite weekend food. Try the crab legs and boiled shrimp with the house mix sauce. Delicious! Check your to go boxes before you leave. The have left out the potatoes and corn from my dish multiple times. read more

Just went here today (5/1/16), and crawfish was not good. It was pretty good my first experience, but the second time coming in you could tell a lot of the crawfish were dead before they had cook them. Hard to pull out the meat, and some of the crawfish would just crumble. On top of all this, a lot of them were small. I would not suggest going here for crawfish. read more

If you are a real eater of crawfish then skip this place. These were on par with Chinese buffet crawfish. That muddy taste with no flavor. Ordered one pound to start spicy,was asked if wanted corn and potatoes. I say one of each and how how about a blue crab. I didn't want it to taste like crawfish, well how they should taste, and wanted more of a crab boil flavor. Was told to get butter and garlic. When I sit down I look at bill to see why so much and see he added sausage to the ticket. Not sure if a mistake or way to upsell without the customer knowing. Food comes out and the crawfish were small. Most had been crush, like when they sit around a long time. Not firm, not fresh from the pot. I do think these are steamed in the bag they come in. The crab came a few minutes later. Came with claw crackers. This is important to note because the crab did not come with the claws. You know one of the best parts of a 3.99 crab. The crab comes UNCLEANED so be prepared and hopefully you know how to clean the crab or you are SOL. The main legs were missing with the claws. Asked the two guys where are the claws. First guy acted like I was speaking a foreign language. The other guy who seemed to be in charged, looked at me like I was crazy. For 3.99 I want my claws. I did have the crackers already lol. I did see a sign saying 1.00 deposit on them too. I didn't pay a deposit. Ten min later I go and ask where my claws are and the reply was they didn't come with any. We didn't get those crabs. Um ok. Overall it's a pass. The crawfish aren't good and are not a Cajun flavor. No clue how all the people there were eating so many of these that tasted bad. read more

LA Crawfish - Receipt for proof. - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

I know what LA Crawfish is about. Love the 99 Ranch location. I'm not freaking out because of their Vietnamese take on crawfish, as many of the reviewers seem to be. I went for the crawfish po boy this time, and it was okay. Definitely not the best crawfish po-boy in the city, and I wouldn't get it again. I just wasn't particularly blown away by this location as the one off I-10. read more

I honestly just came here because my friends and I wanted crawfish and it was the closest one to us. I ordered just a pound of crawfish, potatoes and corn. The atmosphere was very chill and the staff was nice. I got the cajun flavor I believe and it was meh. The crawfish color was just off (red flag, because I did not feel good after I ate here. It was basically dead...) and the potatoes were pretty hard? I have to say though, as a vietnamese person, I was very thrown off by the crawfish pho they had on the menu...I was super scared to try it haha. Overall, I don't think I will be returning back at all. I've definitely had better crawfish with better flavor. I'm pretty happy I only ordered 1lb, super disappointing meal. read more

Updating my review. Went back again and I was so dissapointed this time around! I opted for the fried crawfish and they were fried so freaking hard that my jaw was sore from chewing. They tasted like they may have been dried ( yes, like dried fruit). The sweet potato fries were $4.99 and left alot to be desired. They were soft and unseasoned. If you would like to try some great SP fries, mosey on down to Jack in the Box ( thank me later ). All in all, not worth the $12.97 I spent. I can't explain how bad and greasy the crawfish were. I'm sad thinking about it! read more

I have been here a couple of times so it's time for a review. Don't know where they get the name la crawfish from because I'm from Louisiana and crawfish back home are nothing like this. Crawfish are extremely cheaper back home than here. Back home boiled crawfish are 3.50 a pound and they are lobsters. Here they are 6.99 a pound and some were mushy. Like they were over cooked or mixed frozen with fresh. They were all different sizes too. I tried the hot and sour. They were really sour and not hot at all. I also ordered spicy and they were still.. Um yea not good at all. I don't recommend these at all. I also ordered spicy lemon pepper wings. I've ordered them before and both times I've gotten lemon pepper wings. No spice at all. We also had the cajun style crawfish spicy and they were good. Honestly I wouldn't return only because the prices are too high. I'd rather go back home and have crawfish or even Fiesta. They have boiled crawfish on the weekend for 3.99/lb. read more

I enjoyed the Satay Pho and Oyster Po-Boy very much! Very delicious!! The service is fantastic here as well! Very nice people! :) read more

We like crawfish, need I say more? During the last visit with friends I tried the garlic noodle for the first time, it's like a spicy, garlic-y pho. The flavor is pretty strong, if you like garlic give it a try. Though we like crawfish all year round, we can definitely taste the difference between summer and winter. Not sure if they use frozen crawfish in winter (which is totally understandable), and we feel like the crawfish does not taste as fresh as in summer, and the size is smaller... If you're picky about your crawfish, go there during the crawfish season. read more

I have been to LA Crawfish before and had their crawfish and was impressed. This past visit I tried their "Surf n surf" basket - with fried oysters and shrimp. While the shrimp was good the oysters were a little too gooey and moist. The fries were delicious! My coworkers ordered the Flank Pho, the Fish Po-Boy and the Basil Wings and all of them had only good things to say about their dishes. If there is one downside it's parking. It gets very crowded and be very careful NOT TO PARK in Skewers 3 reserved spots. They WILL call to tow your car as soon as you get out of your car and walk past their restaurant. Be careful!! read more

I came here with a party of 6 on a Wednesday night. It's been awhile since I've been to any of the LA Crawfish locations, and I was looking forward to trying this location (despite the mixed reviews). As others have mentioned, parking is a pain; you just have to be lucky and patient. Pho - My friends and I were pleasantly surprised by how good the pho was! I got the special, which included almost all meats. The amount was more than filling, and the broth was good. I've had pho in many places, and the pho here is definitely on the above average side. The only downside - the bean sprouts were yellow/off white in color. Crawfish - My husband got spicy Cajun, and he enjoyed them. They were big, and he got more than the 2 pounds he ordered. Overall, he rated them as average because the spiciness was there, but there could have been more flavor. Lemon pepper chicken wings - These were delicious!! I've been a big fan of LA Crawfish wings, and I was not disappointed this time. I would definitely recommend them. Now to the service/wait: Although there have been some complaints about the waiting situation (you have to wait in line until a table is available to place an order at the counter), I actually like this method, as it is a true "first come, first serve" method. Yes, you may be waiting in line awhile (we waited for about 30 minutes), but I'd rather wait in line awhile and then order and sit down, rather than order and then wait awhile for a table to become available. This way, you're guaranteed a place to sit and eat when your food comes out, and it prevents people from snatching tables before they even order. Plus, this method allows some peace for customers who are eating, as other customers aren't standing and waiting right next to you in a very uncomfortable way (as usually happens at some other order-at-the-counter places). Overall, this place is okay. I don't know if I'll come here again; their specialty is only average and doesn't warrant the tough parking and wait. If you're craving crawfish and don't live near Chinatown, this place may be suited for you. read more

I've been here for several times and I like all the menus I've tried here so far. My favorites are sweet and sour shrimp and also the sweet and sour pho. Decided to give Cajun Curry a try on my last visit and was not disappointed. read more

LA Crawfish - Cajun Curry - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Above average crawfish for Houston, although quite overpriced. Also annoying to have to pay for corn / potato / sausage, etc and when paying for potatoes, I got literally 1 small new potato. The garlic sauce was probably the most garlic-y sauce I've ever seen and I sopped up as much as I possibly could. If really dying for crawfish, this is certainly a reasonable option, but the price makes eating a decent amount prohibitive for most people. read more

Went to HEB montrose first for crawfish and then came over here. Their one lb at HEB seem so much more than a lb at LA crawfish. I think they underweight the crawfish. Next time, i'm brining my scale and weighing if i got what i paid for (if there is a next time..) Everything is extra. corn. carbs. sausage. super small size crawfish and most of my crawfish were not fresh. seasoning was good, that's about it. read more
