Delicious!! Writing this retroactively after crawfish season, but this is my favorite place to get…read morecrawfish for affordable prices, which from what I saw can vary from $5-$9/lb (usually $7 when I went, as I would get the 5lb/$35 bundle). And they even have special deals on some days for cheaper. It is a Viet-owned establishment and the flavors are top-tier for the coastal and garlic flavors for the crawfish, and the pieces can get HUGE during the right time of the season, like around May. The biggest crawfish I've ever seen out of my 20 years of eating crawfish was from here--and there were like 6 of them of the same size all in one 5lb bag! Never have seen that at Crawfish Cafe or other places. Staff are very friendly. Only downside is they only have lemons here--no limes--and they charge for lemons. But the free butter station is nice for those who enjoy that.

I'm pretty sure this is a Vietnamese boil and not a Louisiana boil there is a difference.

Oh, and they have daiquiris and I also tried the shrimp fried rice and some of their fried fish combo. Also five stars.

Maybe more on the thicker side and a bit pungent in flavor, but tasty! It came with white rice, bread, and a side of my choice. It's cool that they offer a side with the entree because most places don't. My wife got fried shrimp. She said they were good, but probably frozen and not as good as some of the competitors around. Everyone else enjoyed the catfish and have been long time customers. The service wasn't the best though. Supposedly, you get a 10% discount if you bring a church bulletin in. So, we brought it in and the waitress said it would be a better deal if we went with the 2-piece special promotion instead. From what I understand, if they have a special, you can't use the 10% church bulletin discount. It seemed like there might have been some dishonesty going on or some confusion. It also took about a solid 10 minutes to get waters. Basically, the service could be improved, but the food is good and the price is right. It's good southern comfort seafood.

The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, a good setting for a family celebration. The service was really good. Our team was attentive and made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. They brought out complimentary hushpuppies as an appetizer, and those were definitely a highlight... warm, fresh, and flavorful. As for the food, it was overall okay. I ordered the grilled shrimp with a loaded baked potato and onion rings, and my meal was pretty tasty. Everything was cooked well and satisfying. Several family members ordered the catfish. They loved the texture, it was cooked nicely, but mentioned that it could have used more seasoning or flavor. Another person at the table ordered the seafood fondue dip and said it was delicious. All in all, it was a pleasant visit with good service and a few standout items. A nice place for gathering with family.

We came in on a Friday around lunch time and it was seemed like a common spot to go to by the locals. The staff is genuinely kind, seated us easily, and quick to service us. We had gotten the pork rind appetizer with the crawfish cheese sauce- I'd say it was a nice starter and the rinds were freshly made and still crackling as we were eating them! Sadly, the crawfish tasted like it's been sitting out and the blue crab was dry unless you dowsed the butter all over it. So it was either too salty or not enough seasoning.

I went at 430 for a pickup order and the entire restaurant was packed. Picked up their 5 LB crawfish boil bag for 35 which is a steal for Viet crawfish and shrimp fried rice for 16. The crawfish were seasoned really well with viet spices and were huge as it's peak season. The fried rice was flavorful with their star sauce and 1 lb of shrimp. A great spot and much more affordable option to nearby alternative like Crawfish cafe.

The service is absolutely incredible and accommodating with such a lovely atmosphere. I have dietary restrictions as I am vegan, and they made a wheat flatbread replacement for the naan for me. The family member who assisted us was attentive and wonderful conversation. They are incredibly transparent on their food process and ensuring people with allergies and restrictions are able to eat their food. The food is fresh and you can taste it. I got the bindi masala at medium heat and it is my favorite I've gotten by far. The okra and onions are cooked perfectly to create a satisfyingly delectable flavor with a savory building up heat. The vegetable samosas are also my favorite in the area! They create an in-house sauce of brown sugar with spices, and it is my absolute favorite sauce I've had with samosas. It's better than chutney or tomato sauce. The sweetness and spices are perfect with the savory flavor of the samosas. The aromas of the varieties of spices light up the atmosphere.

The chicken kadai was very flavorful with lots of spices and aromatics, and the rice and naan were both good. My husband also had a mango lassi, which was silky and delicious.
