I had an amazing experience at Lotus Seafood. The seafood was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The garlic butter sauce is a must-try -- rich, bold, and absolutely delicious. Portions were generous and everything came out hot and well prepared. The staff was friendly and the vibe was laid-back and welcoming. If you're craving good seafood with big flavor, this is the spot. Definitely coming back! read more

Lotus Seafood - Loud Pack my go to when going here ‼ - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

My first experience with this restaurant establishment. While visiting Houston I was determined to try. Service was friendly and the taste was flavorful. I ordered the fried lobster and rice for an addition price. Box with crab, corn, sausage and boiled shrimp. The lobster has a crunch profile that's worth visiting for. The medium heat was spicy and I think mild when I return. My brother opted for fried fish and shrimp, he stated the taste was a 9 out of 10. I would recommend to anyone to stop by and have your mouth profile on happiness. read more

Fried lobster and hot box is the way to go. Loud pack not bad. You wait a bit since they cook fresh and the place can be packed. Plenty of parking lot at most of their location read more

Lotus Seafood - Shrimp oyster Cajun rice - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've been wanting to try this place since my friend came back raving about their sauce. I'm not actually into a ton of crazy sauce on my boiled seafood... preferably I like mine steamed with drawn butter. I'm simple, so Kee that in mind. We ordered lots of things to try including the crab, shrimp, wings, and of course the seafood rice. The rice was my best choice bc everything was just ok. The lemon pepper spicy wings tasted sweet like bbq but were fresh and meaty. The seafood boil wasn't that impressive to me. My crab cluster was very tiny and overcooked making it difficult to access the meet, but my friend's crab looked fresh and was definitely 3 to 4 times larger than mine. The place stayed busy so I'm sure they're doing well. I don't have to stop by again when I'm back in Houston, read more

Honestly, this place is delicious the way they infuse seafood with cajun. Their crack sauce is a great add on. Only thing I can say is that I don't go here often as it doesn't seem like the healthiest option as there's a lot of grease/salt and eating it feels like a heart attack's about to happen. Otherwise, once in a while, it fixes my craving. read more

5/18/25: This place is still 'meh' in my opinion. My order today: One cluster of snow crab spicy Half pound of whole shrimp unpeeled spicy Cup of Gumbo Frozen daiquiri: hurricane and hypnotic mix For the price of the snow crab, I was expecting a large cluster. I received the tiniest cluster I have ever seen in my life. Honestly, Walmart great value packs are bigger in size than what I received. The shrimp were good and large. The only downfall is that it's not deveined. The sauce used for both the snow crab and the shrimp was well seasoned and on point. The gumbo was very flavorful indeed. It had a really great smoky taste to it that I enjoy. I can see why customers like it. The frozen daiquiri was also pretty good as well. Overall, I gave this place an extra point from my original rating, but I wouldn't be in a rush to return anytime soon. read more

Every time I come here they are always so polite and friendly great customer service I love coming to lotus

A friend and I were craving snow crabs and chose this spot over LA Crawfish. We called in our order and asked for full crabs, but didn't check before leaving, big mistake. The crabs were barely worth it for the $40 we spent. We called and spoke to two managers who just said "sorry" and told us to bring the food back, which wasn't helpful since we were starving and tired after working overnight. The turkey neck was the only good part, that's why this is getting 4 stars. But charging the same price with lower quality? Not cool. We won't be back. read more

I normally leave 4 or 5-star reviews, but I feel strongly about this one. I'm sharing this in the spirit of constructive criticism, with the hope that it helps the restaurant improve in the future. Unfortunately, my crawfish experience here was genuinely disappointing. At $70 for 5 pounds, I expected something flavorful and thoughtfully prepared. Instead, the crawfish came out in a plastic grocery bag--not the tray presentation shown in photos or typically expected. Worse, they had almost no seasoning at all. For a boil, that's a dealbreaker. As the saying goes: "If you ain't sneezing, it ain't seasoned." Adding to that, sides like corn and potatoes had to be ordered separately rather than being included in the boil, which felt like nickel-and-diming. The "Crack Sauce" they sell is just a plastic packet of butter that didn't do much to help. Honestly, I could have gotten better flavor and presentation at HEB across the street. The restaurant was also packed and disorganized. My party was squeezed into a small table, and everything--from plates to utensils--was disposable. The kitchen looked cramped and not particularly clean. For a $70 meal, the overall experience felt rushed and unprofessional. To the owners: I say this respectfully--if crawfish aren't your strength, maybe reconsider offering them. Or, better yet, take time to refine the recipe and presentation. Traditional methods are popular for a reason, and there's no need to reinvent the wheel if it means sacrificing quality. read more

I ate at Lotus Restaurant in Houston and let me just say... the food was so delicious OMG . I ordered the seafood boil with Louisiana fried rice, fried tilapia, and fried shrimp, and everything was cooked to perfection. Let's not forget about the drinks WOW read more

We went to Lotus because I wanted crawfish and I was not impressed. The restaurant was not clean and the service was subpar. The staff was nonchalant and someone was vaping in the restaurant. The food was lightly seasoned and you have to pay for everything separately. There are definitely better restaurants out there if you want crawfish. read more

This was an update from last weekend order. So now I get home and open the box everything looked fresh with a few extra snow crabs. I must say they weren't the biggest I've had from there but they were good with a little spice. Everyone was professional and friendly. So Hammy thanks for making this a great experience. read more

Pleasantly surprised. I went in thinking this is an aid down restaurant. You have to order at the counter then get a table they will call your number when it is ready. The cashier focused us on the happy hour items. Which we needed up getting 1lb crab legs which came with nothing and we also got the 1lb peeled shrimp that came with a potato and corn we thought they both came with the sides. The mild was full of flavor and the spicy was really well flavored. I went back and got okra, cole slaw, Cajun fries and potato salad. The okra was light small pieces, the cole slaw was crisp and fresh. It wasn't drowning in sauce. The Cajun fries were seasoned well. The part that makes the stars go down is the service. The front girl was rushing and impatient. When they called your number they just kind were like hurry up already. They were more focused on having fun at work than getting food out. Visiting with friends who were by the way blocking the drink machine. When they forgot one of my sides it took forever to get it and instead of bringing it out to me they just kept yelling Miss, Miss like I am supposed to know it is me. If you plan of getting crab bring some crackers with you, it is really hard to eat without them. read more

Wasn't what I expected when I looked up this place with the word "Lotus" thinking Asian vibes. I ordered the 8 fish nuggets and fries with their Lotus sauce for my dip - it was soo good! My hubby ordered the 3 fish (catfish) and 6 shrimps platter - amazingly good too! I ordered their fresh squeezed lemonade too - refreshingly good. We came down for the Padres game over Houston and don't live in the are but live in Austin area - we plan to come back here when we're down and craving seafood. Great customer service as well! read more

Ordered spicy shrimp pasta for lunch. Wow, plenty of food and rich flavors. Yummy. Will return for sure when work in this area.

Ordered peeled shrimp medium and lomein. The peeled shrimp was standard. I was surprised how big the shrimp are in the lomein. I ordered combo lomein. The chicken tasted a little off mainly the texture. I believe they use thighs. I couldn't find the crawfish. The biggest issue is it tasted not as flavorful as the Stafford location. read more

Over all the I would give it a 7 out of 10. The only thing that caused this place not to get a 10 was that the turkey necks had no flavor. It was as if they thru a dash of salt and boiled them. Like come on you have to season the water throw in some garlic some onion some chicken broth somethin. read more

Finally got to visit Lotus Seafood after seeing posts of pics all over Instagram. Online ordering via their website was convenient and simple and my order was packed and ready to go when I arrived. I ordered a Fully Loaded Loud Pack ($21). It came with Fried Rice with Crawfish topped with tons of Shrimp, 1 Corn, 1 Potato, 1 Egg and 1 Sausage. In addition, I ordered 2 Crack Sauce packets (.75 each) although it did come with 1 packet. The portion was quite generous and everything was absolutely delicious! I'm wimpy when it comes to spice so I decided to go for the Medium (2nd option) rather than Mild. It wasn't overwhelmingly spicy but it sure did have quite a kick. The crack sauce was also the perfect addition to everything and added so much flavor. I loved it all. Wish they'd make a location closer to Austin so I could visit more often! read more

I had heard about Lotus seafood and the Crack Sauce for a while and I finally made it there. The place just looked like a dark fast food restaurant.

Decided to try Lotus after it being on my bucket list to visit. Our party decided to get the combo plus fries and the loaded pack. The combo included Texas toast, fried catfish, fried oysters, fried shrimp and fries. The fully loaded pack was also really yummy and I definitely recommend with the crack sauce. The daquiri was sweet definitely not too strong but great to sip and eat. I would recommend getting the crack sauce with your purchase! read more

The service at this restaurant is UNMATCHED!! Me and my wife came in at the last 10 minutes of closing and they immediately greeted us and we gave them our order! They had the food out in 10-15 minutes and when I asked them if I could pay for some extra packets of the "Crack Sauce," they said it's on the house and ended up giving us not one, BUT THREE!!! These are some of the nicest staff and some of the sweetest people ever and I will definitely be coming back based on service alone and that makes me even more excited about the food!! read more
