We love LA crawfish in general, but had an especially great experience Saturday, thanks to a particular employee. We were tired and hungry but David was warm and welcoming to us and everyone who came in after, even though it was late. And our food and drinks were delicious as always! read more

I've been craving crawfish and figured this place looked good and local and damn I was not disappointed. I ordered pick-up through their app which is super easy and convenient. I got 2lbs of crawfish in a spicy garlic boil mix that was so good. I also got a piece of corn and a potato. Both were delicious but I think they would benefit from being packaged separately rather than in the boil bag, if possible. The staff was really nice and got me my order quickly after arriving. I definitely plan to come back. read more

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

Gross. Just just just just gross. This is the most watered down and slimy crawfish I've ever had in my life. The actual Creole flavor was good but when it came down to the seafood... It was dripping just with water and it was mushy even trying to get it out of the shell was a problem. I will honestly never come here again. Yuck. read more

Their crawfish is FROZEN. A place with crawfish in the name serves subpar crawfish. Ain't that something! But the rest of the menu slaps. Add garlic butter to ANYTHING and you won't be disappointed. The wings are delicious. Crab legs full of flavor. The pho and friend rice are delicious as well. But. Their. Crawfish. Is. Frozen. read more

Coming from California where Boiling Crab and Kicking Crab is considered the standard for cajun seafood, LA Crawfish brings both to shame, the flavoring is out of this world. I ordered a base amount for 3 people, but we just keep getting extra pounds of crawfish and shrimp every so often, we couldn't stop eating. Minus 1 star because the workers were a bit rude and standoffish, but I got my delicious food, so I didn't mind as much. read more

This place is reliable for good quick fix of crawfish. Their boil has definitely gotten better from when they started. The price is very good compared to other crawfish places. It's about the same as H‑E‑B prices. I like how they soak their crawfish so the meat is very flavorful. The only thing is the crawfish was small and not as fresh. Overall, I think they are conveniently located and it's a good place to grab some crawfish without venturing far. read more

Good size of crawfish but that noodles soup is just two bites size of amount. You can pay 1.89 for another two more bites which I did. Wings are OK. read more

Heard great things about LA Crawfish so I decided to finally try them out. Firstly, the lady at the counter kept getting my order wrong, to the point that I was just saying yes to whatever she said because it was taking her too long to fix it. We had spicy cajun crawfish and garlic butter. The flavor was there and good, but unfortunately the crawfish wasn't great. They just won't peel. The flesh won't separate from the shell so it was really frustrating. The crawfish didn't taste fresh and they are a bit too dry. So the catch phrase "Pinch the tail and suck the head" doesn't work here. We also ordered garlic noodles, which was way too garlicky. Unfortunately, i won't be returning here :( read more

Telephone Rd location - Complaint: ordered 4 lbs of crawfish from restaurant on Telephone Rd today to be picked up at 1100. When I arrived the lights were off and tables were covered and needless to say - order was not ready. The hurried to prepare my order. When I I arrived home w my order, the food was UNDERCOOKED and inedible! As you see, I order quite often and this was the WORST by far. I paid over $60 for food that I COULD NOT EAT. read more

Love the food here. 2nd time there was strong bleach smell in dining area. Went to eat tonight hoping for a good dine-in experience, but again, there was smell of bleach that filled the dining area. Had to take food to go otherwise I would have thrown up if I ate there. Turns out the staff starts cleaning the bathrooms and using bleach during business hours. Looks like they started at 6:15-6:30pm. Note to OWNER: tell staff not to clean with bleach during peak dinner rush hours. read more

OMG. An LA Crawfish ITL and BYOB?! Totes in. Translation: Oh my goodness. There's an LA Crawfish inside the loop and it's bring your own bottle? Sign me up! Fer realz. Not to sound like a total tween texting her BFF4L, but that's exactly how a few convos went down the weekend when my group of friends decided to check out the new location BEFORE word spread. Again, it's BYOB. No cork fee. Order at the counter, pay at the counter - and yes, they'll let you start a crawfish tab, as I did. I mean, who wants to eat cold crawfish? Order as you go, my friend. Crawfish pho. Crawfish empanadas. Crawfish curry. And don't forget the crab legs. And the skrimps. And the andouille sausage, rice, potatoes, and corn. All in your choice of crawfish seasonings: Garlic Butter, Cajun Style or Chili Lime sauce And if you're an oyster FAH-REAK like I am, they offer raw gulf oysters with an Asian style twist. I tried the Thai Green Chili and those mo'fos were spicy and sooo good. Looking forward to trying the Japanese Ponzu and Korean Kimchi. The oysters were kinda pricy - I'm used to my $8 special at Pappa's - but the spice adds a nice twist to those yummy bivalves. Service was awesome. I called right before they opened and asked about the wait. David kindly offered to reserve a table for our group of 10, which quickly expanded to an even bigger group as word spread amongst the crew. Big thank you to the staff who all work with a smile and also brought us buckets of ice for our beerz. read more

LA Crawfish - BYOB! - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

I am a huge fan of LA Crawfish. This is the second location that I've visited. The first one was over on I-10 and Blalock at the Ranch 99 market. I like this location better, only because it's close to my apartment and near the movie theater. So you can just leave your car at the theater and walk over. Or if the parking lot is full at this location, since the theater is a paid garage you can pay 3 bucks and walk over. Over the years they have definitely expanded their menu and added new things. I can remember back when they just had crawfish, Pho, and wings. Since they've added multiple new items. Everything I've tried has been delicious. Once I ordered the oysters in a half shell. They weren't shucked properly though (I'm an oyster snob) but maybe it was just that day. I love the cheesy crawfish rolls and the gumbo is Sooo delicious. I was a little hesitant to have gumbo with cilantro in it, but it added a flavor that I really liked. One thing that I've noticed about them is that they have taken the time to take an ordinary crawfish joint and made it extraordinary. Customer service here is always great as well. Oh and the crawfish are amazing. I love the garlic butter ones. Bookmark this place and check them out. They're always busy. That's a good sign!! read more

Love this place! This review is strictly for the snow crab! I've never been a fan of mud bugs and I don't intend on starting! This was my first visit here and I really enjoyed myself. I ordered 2lbs of snow crab. (Cajun and Gallic Butter) If you're a spice fan don't even bother with the Garlic butter; just go for the Cajun! It was so spicy and flavorful! I wish I had know it was BYOB! I would've definitely brought a bottle of wine! But I'll definitely be prepared next time! (P.S. they do offer beer) read more

So first of I had to convince my wife to go here because I wanted crawfish, and let me tell she was not disappointed nor was I!! David was good at what he does in the front and the cooks in the back did not disappoint. I'd give it a ten if they'd let me!!!!!!!!! read more

Absolutely love love this place for crawfish! They do it with 3 different types of sauce and the garlic butter and Cajun is yum! I like the Vietnamese style crawfish because it's flavorful inside and out, not just dry rub on the outside! The crawfish is usually super fresh and fairly large.. I've been here during the season and it's good. However since this time was too early in the season, they were frozen and small. But I still enjoyed them with the potatoes, corn and sausage. We also ordered the spicy garlic wings and boy they were delicious! Super crispy with the right amount of flavor - I would totally recommend the wings here as well. They also have a LA pho with crawfish in it! I haven't tried the pho but quite a few people ordered it and it looked good and looked to be a good size for the price. I have been here a few times and will definitely be back mid season for more crawfish! Negatives are the parking in this complex is horrendous because they share with so many other businesses and the other businesses reserve spots in front of their storefront and the restaurant is small so there's usually a line out the door - even today! Random Thursday night and it's cold out! But if you get there early enough, we got a table for 12 no trouble! read more

The wings are bomb when fresh. The Cajun rice is a bit salty but that may just be me. The shrimp comes in so many flavors it's nuts...

I did not realize they had pho until I saw my mechanic having pho for lunch and realized he got it from these guys. I tried their pho and o boy, it was awesome. Would definitely go back. read more

Came to Houston to visit a friend and she mentioned trying this place. However, she had never been to this location and was never to try it since all locations aren't the same. But omg. Our group of 6 was VERY happy with the food. I ordered the crawfish Pho (which also included sausage and shrimp). Best pho I've ever had. I also ordered a side of sausage because I just love sausage. Great flavor. I then ordered a side of the chicken bites. This was my only complaint because the chicken tasted old as if it had been cooked in old grease and sitting out all day. Everyone else had pounds of Crawfish and fully enjoyed it. Great spot to hang out. Plus it's byob, beer and wine. We watched the game, had drinks and relaxed over amazing phone. read more

I was in the mood for crawfish after hearing my friend talk about it all weekend so my boyfriend and I came here at the soonest opportunity and ordered 2 lbs of crawfish (1 lb with garlic butter, 1 lb with Szechuan spice), salt toasted shrimp, garlic noodles, and fried rice. Food came out pretty quick but I think that may just be because we beat the crowd. Szechuan spiced crawfish was the best seasoning by far. So tasty and just the right amount of spice. Garlic butter was surprisingly bland so I was double disappointed when the potatoes, sausage, and corn were cooked in that sauce - luckily I could dip them in the remaining Szechuan sauce. Crawfish were of a decent size and tasted fresh to me. The salt toasted shrimp were a bit disappointing - the covering on the shrimp was more of a dry dust that didn't have a lot of spice. I prefer traditional salt and pepper shrimp for sure but I appreciated how big the shrimp were. Garlic noodles had good flavor but the noodles got soggy in the sauce. Fried rice was really tasted - I liked the Cajun mix a lot, and I would definitely order this again. read more

They can keep the magic rice!! Don't order it.. you're paying for rice and season! The sausage it sliced thinly and the crawfish tails are small then a dime!!!!!!!! In season or not.. you'd think to compensate up for it. I once loved this place but I can spend $$ elsewhere in this area. Pissed me completely off and I don't even write reviews!! read more

I love LA Crawfish! They have some of the best crawfish and snow crab in Houston! I usually get the Garlic Butter and Cajun sauce mix, with "spicy" level and it's perfect everytime. read more

I like coming here just to get their pick 2 options. I always get their fried oysters and shrimp with fries. This has filled me up many times after a Sunday funday. They do take a minute but it's worth it because the food be so hot & fresh. On my last visit the oysters weren't that good but it's ok. I tend to want to try other items but I never do. I wished they served catfish. That would be amazing! read more

- I ordered 1lb of crawfish with corn & potatoes (normal spice, garlic butter & cajun style seasoning) along with Jasmine rice & Beignet fries - The crawfish was fresh & the sauce/seasoning was perfect!

Delicious. The crawfish pho is the perfect combo of delicious pho and peppery crawfish. The boiled seafood is great as are the fried shrimp. The fries went fast and so did the awesome garlic noodles. Their Buffalo wings were some of the best I've ever had. The fried crawfish was weirdly dry and they forgot about our oysters (but refunded us so no hard feelings). Definitely worth trying if you're in the mood for Viet/Cajun fusion but don't feel like driving for 40 minutes to west bellaire. read more

We got there and the line was fairly short waited about 20 or so went by pretty quick. Order 4lbs of the cajun style for the two of us (2 lbs mild & 2lbs spicy.) We sat down at our table and crawfish was out before we knew it. We opened our bags and they both smelled delishiously and the taste was even better! Only small complain is that the crawfish varied in size we got some in all sizes, but I guess that's normal, right? Can't wait to go back and try out the other flavors! read more

We visited this spot due to the close proximity to the Houston Zoo! We visited the Christmas Lights that night. The restaurant has a nice modern interior and casual vibe and we picked our dishes (Awesome Garlic Noodles, Fried Basket, and Cajun Curry). I chose the noodles and I loved this tasty dish! The noodles have a kick so be prepared for the spiciness, but the overall spice level is mild-medium. The dish is paired with shrimp and a slight lime zest- I give this a 5 star rating-good flavor! My mother got the cajun curry in which I can confirm was a hit due to her "mmmm" noises. I tried the sauce which was a rich and strong sweet curry on rice. The portion sizes were another plus! My dad got a fried basket- nothing special standard fried food. I was not disappointed and I would like to revisit once crawfish season is back. read more

Eaten here many times Pros: great crawfish, especially when it's in season. Frozen otherwise. Excellent wings and raw oysters Cons: the seafood gumbo was completely lackluster in seafood. There was 1 crab claw, but both orders did not have any shrimp, crawfish, or different crab meats that was in the menu description. Overall: I'd go again but avoid the gumbo read more

Nicole and the staff are amazing. Tonight was one hell of a hustle and everyone one working there was amazing, friendly and very accommodating despite the rush of people. The crawfish, potatoes and corn were cooked perfectly. There are two people working the restaurant on the floor and for the two people - they made it absolutely work and they deserve credit. read more

Despite of its name as a tribute to the crawfish state, this famed crawfish joint in Houston serves an unique style of crawfish that is best characterized as "Viet Cajun" that is distinct from the Louisianan Cajun style. That's a good thing because LA Crawfish has the one-of-the-kind spiciness that is characteristically "Cajun" but further augmented with Asian spices - the result is a respectable spiciness that can stand toe-to-toe against the best in NOLA! Sadly, the crawfish here is not fresh, judging from the meat that easily disintegrated instead of being firm and crisp that fresh crawfish would have...Otherwise, LA Crawfish would be a solid and an easy way to taste Louisiana crawfish in the heart of Houston. I found it tough to accept this subpar crawfish quality at the tag of $6.99 per pound, which is standard in Houston but high in a state that's only next door. read more

LA Crawfish - In case you don't want to bring the mess home! - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Went on Fat Tuesday with some friends for our regular meet-up! Apparently we weren't the only ones who had the same idea because they were busy busy busy. Although they were busy- we got our food pretty quickly. I've been to the Willowbrook location and was disappointed but my friends convinced me to give this location a try and I'm glad they did. Definitely a better experience than last time. I got two lbs of shrimp -Cajun flavored, medium spicy and some Magic Cajun Rice with crawfish in it. I can usually handle spicy foods but whenever I get hot spicy at other seafood boil places, it's extremely spicy for me so I decided to do medium - it definitely could've been spicier HAHAH...I'm not a fan of the whole process of eating crawfish so I didn't get any but my friend got it and she loved it. Glad I got to enjoy time with my friends here and enjoy this delicious seafood. Will definitely make the trip to come to this location again. read more

LA Crawfish - Cajun-flavored shrimp (medium spice) with the Magic Cajun Rice (crawfish) - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm cringing while I hit the 2 star button. I really really wanted to like this place. It saddens me to give this place under 3 stars but if I'm being honest, I can't lie, right? I was on a crawfish crawl with bae and we decided to stop by since we heard this place was also $6.99/lb, as well as one of the listed places on a Houston Article of good crawfish eats. Bae mentioned he had LA in the past and was not too happy, but was willing to give it a second chance. I personally have only been to the location at 99 Ranch back in 2015 when they were giving 2 lbs of crawfish for FREE if you posted on social media. And now we're back. This place was popping with to-go orders as well as in house diners. And we all know if it's poppin, then it's crawfish season. Place is small too, and if I do recall, there were ABOUT 15 tables MAX??? From what it looked like. But anyways, I saw a few customers bring in coolers and even recently purchased beer to have along with their crawfish. Nice. BYOB. I was actually surprised they don't charge since some places do. So I actually appreciate when a place really means BYOB. Just finish what you opened. I do want to say that the menu is very aesthetically pleasing. So here's the bad. I previously checked out the menu online just to check out the flavors and what there was to order. I'm a big fan of garlic butter so I ordered 2lbs medium (their version of mild). I think the most disappointing thing was that, I guess if you're used to most other crawfish places with Viet-Style flavor, you're bound to get a "MIX" option. I did ask about that and the guy behind the counter stated that it would cost something along the lines of 50 cents to mix flavor. Damn. $6.99/lb PLUS 50 cents to mix flavors? Meh. When we received our crawfish, they were big. I was happy about that. But what I was not happy about was the taste. The texture. And just the overall crawfish. I guess looks can be deceiving. Even though the crawfish may be large in size, the taste was as if it was frozen. You know. That feeling when it tastes mushy or when it just doesn't have that fresh taste to it? YOU KNOW???? All you crawfish snobs, please tell me you know. Judging by color, it's hard to tell. When a crawfish has that prefect bright red color, you know it's juicy. But when it's got that DARK RED color, you either associate it with either, "oh damn, this shell is hard to crack." or "ohhh look at dat meat". You know?? But my 2 lbs are fairly large crawfish were disappointing. Flavor wise....was a big FAT MEH. I just didn't get that garlic butter flavor feel. The good. Service was good, I will admit. We ordered beignet fingers and they were really satisfying to end our crappy meal. Overall, I am bit on the fence of trying non crawfish items. But the curiosity is killing me. Maybe I'll update this IF and WHEN I decide to not go here for crawfish. But I highly doubt that. read more

I like their chicken wings in buffalo flavor which was quite unexpected. It is indeed the place to go if you want crawfish when it is not the season. And I need to correct the previous review that the crawfish was not spicy enough. Actually you can choose medium, spicy, and extra spicy under Cajun or Hot and Sour. A friendly reminder: be careful about the extra spicy if you are not a hot pepper addict LOL read more

LA Crawfish - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is a good place if you have a crawfish craving and live in the 610 area. I've had better crawfish in Chinatown with more flavor and freshness at a better value. If the birthday boy in our group didn't have a crawfish craving and wanted to go out right afterwards, I don't think I would've came here. Food: First thing I always ask at a crawfish place is if it's frozen or fresh. These were frozen, which made some of us debate whether to get crawfish or something else. I ended up getting just a pound of garlic butter crawfish to try with sausage and corn added. Overall, it was okay. It wasn't worth getting. I sort of wished I got wings instead. Parking: This is located in a retail area that has minimal or limited parking. You can park in spots designated to shops if they are closed. Service: Service was decent. The only interaction is at the register when you order and pay, so sort of like a fast food experience. read more

When I want Crawfish.. this is where I come. Good house season.. never fails when choosing here

love the food and the employee Joshua is so nice and very helpful y'all make sure to tip him when y'all slid through

We came here on a Sunday night and the line was out the door. I've been to the Clear Lake and original location so I had high hopes for this place. Upon heading to the line, we saw that there were a bunch of empty tables. Tip: If you only have a party of 2, tell them. Most people in line have huge groups which will take longer to accommodate since the number or larger tables are limited. If not, you'll stay in line for at least 30 minutes. We ordered 4 pounds of crawfish, half cajun and the other half Vietnamese style in spicy. The food came out fairly quickly. The bag was steaming hot which meant that it was super fresh. The crawfish were decently sized, which was nice, but they were really soft. I prefer my crawfish to be firm in texture. The shell was really soft as well. The cajun one was good, but I prefer the Vietnamese style. It's basically cajun with butter and tons of garlic. The spicy level was just right. The nice things about this place is that it is self serve. They just bring you the food. You get everything else including napkins, drinks, and condiments. This place is also BYOB, but you can also purchase drinks here as well. Overall, this place is pretty good, but the service needs a lot of work. read more
