First time here!! Got the garlic noodles and wings with sweet potato fries. It smells amazing in here!!

This place is absolutely horrible! We visited it last weekend.... No customer service what so ever and the food is ok! We'd mistaken this place for LA Crawfish Shack and it was the worst mistake ever!! And when you complain to the manager, he just made excuses! We will never eat here again! Just awful service and subpar food! Work on your customer service please! read more

This place used to be good. But for the past few months, the quality has gone down hill. The crawfish is not fresh. I bought crawfish at least once every week from here for the past 2 months. Not because I was satisfied, but because I wanted to see if it would get better, like before. The taste, texture, and consistency has been the same for these last visits- over cooked, bad taste because these were preserved and heated over and again. Disappointed! read more

Great crawfish with a lot of flavor and spice. There are three spice levels offered: no spice, mild, spicy. I ordered the mild and it was spicy but not overly spicy. I went two weeks ago and the crawfish were huge. I also ordered the seasoned fries and the spicy garlic chicken wings- both were great. the fries were really crispy and the wings weren't smothered in a sauce, rather the flavor was all within the skin. At lunch time on a Sunday afternoon, a line formed outside the door. Very popular place. read more

I like their garlic butter flavor but I keep giving them so many chances. We were hoping to catch them at lunch where they are just cooking crawfish fresh. But no. I think they cook their crawfish and set them in a closed cooler waiting for orders. This has to be why their crawfish is always over cooked and mushy and gooey. read more

Worst crawfish I've ever had in my life . It's crawfish season and the crawfish I received were mushy , black , and soft on the inside . They looked worse then frozen does ,there were no edible tails at all. I can't even understand how a crawfish restaurant can't cook crawfish. I do not recommend this restaurant at all . read more

A little wait time , but the crawfish was seasoned to perfection . I killed my food . 4 pounds of crawfish and 1 pound of shrimp . Hell yes was worth the 20 minute wait . read more

After reading that this was one of the best places to get crawfish in Houston we tried it. Ordered boiled crawfish and oysters on the halfshell. The crawfish though prepared in a tasty boil, were mushy/overcooked and nearly impossible to peel and get the tail meat out without them falling completely apart. It took 40 minutes to get our oysters and when they came out, although on a bed of ice were room temperature to warm. They had an odd texture about them and no, absolutely no saltwater taste. We were told they were Texas coast oysters but I've eaten enough of those to know something wasn't right. We ordered two dozen, ate a few but got up and left the bulk of them on the table. read more

After reading positive reviews, I had to try this place since it's in my neighborhood. I was definitely not disappointed with the service or my meal. It's self service at the counter. You can "rent" crab crackers and scissors by giving them your license or credit card (no charge). The cashier was friendly, and service to our table was quick. The place closed at 9:30, but they let the few tables that were still enjoying their meals and conversations to finish up. I ordered Cajun-flavored crawfish ($7 per lbs) and garlic butter snowcrabs ($14 per lbs). Both are great as medium-hot, but I found Cajun to be too salty. Thank goodness for the BYOB of St. Arnold's! Crawfish and crabs came out piping hot and delicious. It's a no-frills dining experience. They provide plastic table covers for the boil experience. Paper towels are available at the spice and condiment station. Employees regularly wiped down tables, which made it easier to find clean seating. Nothing is worse than trying to enjoy a boil at a dirty table littered with remnants of someone else's meal. I would have given 5 stars, but my husband's meal was less than stellar. He ordered the crawfish po boy ($10 with no sides). It was ridiculously dry and over cooked. To be fair, it was supposed to be fried. But most of his sandwich was filled with pieces that were too dry and hard to eat like crawfish jawbreakers (if there is such a thing). We'll definitely be back since the garlic butter was so good. But next time we'll stick with the boil. read more

Atmosphere is hectic, but fun. Remember to BYOB to go along with your crawfish. Was excited to get in on the Vietnamese Crawfish craze, and was not disappointed! Crawfish were tasty, spicy, and like any good mudbug experience, leave your hands smelling like butter and spice the next day. Will definitely be back. read more

So my coworkers and I figured we would try a new place. I got two pounds of crawfish cajun, two corn, sausage and fries. Although the crawfish was frozen it was still blah.........the seasoning everything about it.... ive had both frozen and live crawfish at la fisherman but la crawfish was gross...it wasnt spicy at all...overall the corn was the best thing about la crawfish......I don't think ill go back again....I will stick to La fisherman...... read more

Been to this LA Crawfish and haven't been disappointed until today when I had the La Pho, it wasn't very tasty they didn't bring a plate of vegetables like most Pho places do, but once I put that first garlic butter crawfish in my mouth I forgot all about the crappy bowl of PHO. This place is always busy, must be ,because of the delis crawfish read more

Ordered both the shrimp and crawfish. The flavor was okay, but the crawfish didn't taste fresh. Will not go back again. read more

LA Crawfish - Not fresh - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

The flavoring on the crawfish was great, but unfortunately, the quality was not. I found them to be overdone and dry. The original one in Ranch 99 is always great, but this is so close to my house. I keep hoping it will be better, but am consistently disappointed. read more

Crawfish Pho did indeed "change my life" as I was told.

First off, I'm a Crawfish connosieur. I've been allover from Chinatown to Crawfish shack in Crosby!Crawfish here were soft and fishy :/ Went here because Cajun Kitchen and Cajun Cafe are closed for lunch, and was extraordinarily disappointed. Luckily our servers were nice enough to trade out for some crab. Even the garlic noodles left me wanting more. The seasoning on the crawfish was good, it's just the poor quality of crawfish that was inedible by my standards. Would not recommend to anyone. read more

Crawfish was okay... They use a lot of seasoning, so it has good flavor, but they don't soak it long enough for the flavor to get inside of the shell... read more

i've had better crawfish and i've had worse. i love the crawfish in a bag concept. it's the end of the season for crawfish and i can't understand how the four pounds i've ordered had so many small ones. the small ones usually occurs at the beginning of the season and they were very mushy. either possibly from being overcooked or they just might actually come from a frozen batch? i ordered cajun and hot spicy garlic but neither really amazed me. on a positive note, they weren't too salty either. there's only one restroom per each gender and you can imagine how during high volume times this can get annoying. besides crawfish, there's boiled shrimp (which have their heads still attached), snow crab, and king crab. there's a $1 deposit to borrow their cracking tools but no big deal. read more

I really enjoy this place although the their crawfish is weird.(not Louisiana) but it was good with its spicy garlic butter sauce. I heard the place was BYOB so that seemed pretty cool but I never ate inside. The service was good on the phone ordering and walking inside to pick up. read more

Super good!!!! We went on Friday afternoon, it was a 30ish wait(just remember it's lent season) but it was all worth it! Garlic butter crawfish was super yummy! The medium has enough spice for me. We had 3 lb of crawfish, 1 lb of shrimp and a dozen oyster. The oyster were super small :( and our shrimp was a little over cook, but it was still good!! Super nice people working there! read more

Crawfish, potatoes and corn all overcooked and soggy. First and last time to eat here.

Tiny crawfish. Mushy. Lots of them crushed at the bottom. A few had weird fishy flavor. Crawfish questionable. Sausage good.

My mom and I ate here for lunch today. We each got crawfish, she had medium Garlic Butter and I had medium Cajun Style. The flavor on both was okay, but the crawfish didn't seem all that fresh. If we come back, I probably wouldn't get the crawfish again but I would be open to trying the pho. read more

Wings are addicting here! I advise trying the lemon pepper or spicy lemon pepper. Definitely better than wing stop. Everything tastes fresh and hot. The crawfish are great also. They come in different sauces but the garlic butter sauce is the best in my opinion. read more

The wings here are great. You can't go wrong with any flavor. I deff enjoyed the spicy lemon pepper and the Thai tamarind. The crawfish here is amazing too. You can choose from different sauces but the garlic is the best in my opinion. Definitely a place Il come to again. read more

If you're craving crawfish, I would not recommend going here for your fix. About the only thing I'll give them credit for is their crawfish being meaty. The flavor is way off from my experience with traditional Cajun Louisiana crawfish. They tasted very fishy. I ordered a dozen oysters too, which that came out about 30 minutes after for who knows why. They were extremely small, salty and grainy. I don't plan on going back anytime soon. read more

Restaurants need 2 things, good food and good service. LA Crawfish on Richmond fails to deliver on both! The crawfish were just ok. First, it's difficult enough to get the meat out of a crawfish but when they are sooooo small, that takes the fun out it! Second, I think they were frozen though I cant be sure because I didnt ask. Wait all year for small frozen crawfish???? That's so not cool! They also did not have that authentic LA flavor boiled in but the seasonings in the bag were very tasty! We had the Cajun spicy. The King Crab was great. Very meaty! On to the more important aspect of my visit. While I love the concept of the Vietnamese crawfish, these people sure can use a lesson in customer service. I mean if we don't come, then you don't exist right? There are just too many stupid rules in this place. 1. You have a 90 min table limit. Which is cool but most places know the art of turning over tables so they don't have to ask their patrons to leave. 2. If you use a credit card they have a right to ask you for id???? When's the last time you were carded at a restaurant? Maybe that's for your protection...probably not! If this is your policy then apply it across the board. Don't pick and choose who to ask for id from. You open the door to discrimination. 3. They don't want you to take the bottle of siracha to your table. Here's a novel idea, how about having enough bottles for the 20 tables in your establshment? 4. Ordered 2 pounds of King crab. They were brought out unsplit and w/o crackers! Ok how am I supposed to eat these? Oh right...pay a DEPOSIT and get crackers! Return the crackers and get your dollar back! Really? Yes, really! 4. Here's another one, my mother ordered her crab extra spicy, the Asian guy at the counter said if it's too spicy and you don't llke it, you can't get a refund! Thanks dude, thats exactly what we had in mind! Who tells their guests that? This pretty much sums up my experience at LA Crawfish. The food is not bad but I probably won't be back. I kinda like to feel like my business is appreciated. read more

The spice is good but the crawfish aren't purged so they taste muddy. Please clean them before cooking! read more

It's my favorite place. I wish they served breakfast. But maybe not because I wouldn't make it down the street to work.

I had never been here before so I decided it would be a good choice for a bunch of first timers since its small and the menu seems pretty easy to order off of. My family was in town and I took them here. First-TERRIBLE service from the two youngsters running the counter. Second- our orders came out all at different times and temperatures. Everything tasted bland as if they were all pre boiled then the "flavor choice" was just thrown on top and the bag tied. The corn was barely cooked and the potatoes ....don't even bother. I might return just to see if that was an off day for this place but I would not recommend it to anyone at this time read more

Food was pretty good but the service was TERRIBLE. I waited over 45 min for just fried fish and fries. It was my first time there and certainly my last. read more

This place was not horrible, but If you have grown up with Southern/Cajun style crawfish boils you will be significantly disappointed. The do however have great fried food and soups, just don't go there for the crawfish. read more

I had been wanting to try this place since The Boiling Crab shut down (so quite a while). Let's just get this out there first....the worst part of the meal was the roach that crawled out from the wooden slats on the wall right next to me while I was eating my meal. Deal breaker......... I ordered crab legs....with medium spicy Cajun seasoning mixed/garlic butter. My husband ordered shrimp with the same seasoning. The seasoning was just okay. I'm not sure if I would have liked this more if I hadn't first had The Boiling Crab but I just wasn't impressed. You couldn't taste the seasoning through the shell of the shrimp. You had to dip it back into the bag to get any flavor. The crab legs were full of flavor....the flavor just wasn't great. Kind of reminded me of the packaged ramen noodle soup flavor. Meh......we also ordered the beignets. Wasn't really impressed with those either. There was so much grease that it created a glaze with the powdered sugar. The flavor of them also reminded us of Nilla Wafers. Will not be back.... read more

I ordered the spicy Cajun and garlic butter crawfish. The spicy Cajun flavor is delicious and has a kick to it without overwhelming the Crawfish's flavor. I really couldn't taste anything with the garlic butter flavored ones. I could see the garlic on them, but they were just sort of there. The corn I ordered with it had the taste that the crawfish should of had. I also ordered the spicy lemon pepper wings. They were good but a little bit on the too salty side. The line was out the door but it moves pretty quick. read more

The crawfish here is horrible! It has no flavor and they even seemed to get the potatoes and corn wrong. How does that even happen? If you're looking for a good crawfish spot, look elsewhere! read more

Oh em gee! First time here, definitely will be returning! Let me just start off by saying the shrimp and snowcrab this time of the year? Phenomenal! The price was ok, but the product was worth every penny. I highly recommend their garlic butter seasoning, its a little spicy but you can still choose whether you want the batch to be medium or hot. I finished the meal with an order of beignets, which essentially were fried funnel cake strips topped with powdered sugar and condensed milk. Yummy! My friend ended up getting an order of the sweets togo! To top it all off, the staff was incredibly friendly! All in all, 5 out of 5 does this place no justice - easily a 10/10!! read more

I like this place, the only thing I don't like is they do not have plates -_- n it's not so much space to sit. The serves are really friendly. The crawfish is good but the white rice is dry. They should do some changes,! read more

It was a well decorated place, the food was good and it was the best priced crawfish around. But the crowd that it drew was a little sketchy. But it is BYOB which is pretty cool. Good atmosphere to watch a game. read more

From the start it was godwits a warm greeting when I walked in. The food, Pho and Spicy Garlic wings are amazing! I'm coming back. Tomorrow. Great little spot, check it out! read more

There spicy Cajun crawfish is to die for. Also the crawfish pho and the wings are also amazing!!!
