Kitchen closes around 11 every night bar at 2am. Oldest bar in the town, good decor, nice staff, local folk, great spot if you are going from Houston to Louisiana. Some would consider it a dive others would consider it a watering hole, it's a community spot and a good one.

I only come here for the food, Boudain Balls specifically some of the BEST Boudain Balls in the area. The Boudain Hut has been here as a long time establishment for people to come hang out, drink, and spend time with friends. They have been known for their crawfish boils, BBQ's, fundraisers, and things of that nature.. but I come here for the Boudain Balls. Your not from around here and don't know about Boudain? Well, Boudain is a traditional Cajun styled meat sausage that is filled with rice, grains, seasonings, meats, and other flavors from the cook's pantry that is placed in a "Sausage styled" casing. Everyone does it differently... so that is NOT the debate here, just the explanation for the non-boudain folk. You ask: "well if that is Boudain.. where are the balls?"... I answer simply that the Boudain link has NO BALLS.. [grinning] But what you can do is get that fine mixture of boudain that the cook has created, shape it using an ice cream scoop, batter/bread it and deep fry it for a delectable taste of a now Fried "Boudain Ball".. that is what you get. Simply put, you need to go there to taste them. They are worth the visit, you may need to wait a bit and have a local drink while they cook them up fresh... but you will not be discouraged and your time waiting will be well invested. Spend some time, go down the highway, and visit the Boudain Hut for some great fried Boudain Balls. You will leave happy, filled, and probably ready for a nap... oh yeah, order enough to take some home for later; your friends and family will love you for it.

So not saying I'll never go back but this visit was not the best. Don't expect good/any service if you aren't a "regular" once I finally was noticed the first 3 things I wanted were not available. So I left and went to Larry's for gumbo and MAN it was amazing!

Cool place to go. Live music all the time.. Good Boudain and cheap cold beer!

A local establishment with low grade, but decent Cajun food. I've never been here at night, but I do compliment the place on early hours. The bartenders that I've seen are "okay" yet not quite attentive. The gumbo is, for a New Orleanean, BAD. The boudin balls are, well, decent. I still come here though. It's a bar. I can drink at 7am. They have music playing on the jukebox. You can smoke here. It's a local place. I've met local people. And the place is okay.

When they used to make the boudin balls fresh on site it was great. Now they are pre-made from a bag.

Saigon Market is a small, long-established Vietnamese "neighborhood grocery store". They have an…read moreassortment of items that are unavailable in the local "American" grocery stores. Don't expect an H Mart-level of variety because this is not the same scale; it is a small business. It keeps me from having to order some items from Amazon or drive to Houston, and I'd rather support small business and buy it from here even if they sell it at WalMart. The service is good. There are complaints on other reviews about "unfriendliness", but those reviews are ethnocentric and don't account for the Vietnamese culture. People aren't going to smile, greet you, and ask how you are at Saigon Market. That is not a typical interaction to have with strangers in most places throughout the world, even if they provide customer service, and no one is entitled to that level of interaction and familiarity. Another reviewer stated that the clerk was rude and lazy when she asked where something was. I cannot help but wonder if the customer even attempted to look because there are few aisles and the aisles are organized by type of good. A quick 2 minute stroll up and down the aisles will give you a layout of where different items will be--that's how small the store is. If you cannot find it where similar items are, they do not have it. Most products are imported and you might need a translator app for some if you don't know what it is or need to avoid specific ingredients. The grocery store takes credit, debit, and EBT cards. There is a separate takeout restaurant--a bánh mì deli--inside the store where you can buy fresh sandwiches and drinks. Other reviewers complained about it being cash only, but many food stands and trucks in Port Arthur were cash only and some still are.

Great trip to PA, thank you Saigon Market for your business.

It was good but they didn'thave my order correct I am…read more allergic to spice and we ordered a 20 piece tender original family meal with five rolls with three extra rolls, mashed potatoes and gravy on the side, but they only gave potatoes, coleslaw, and fried okra. We also got ranch and barbecue sauce for the dipping sauce along with extra ranch and barbecue sauce when we got home, we ate and it was the right order on the first level the first 10 pieces but underneath the next 10 we were gonna have our leftovers for supper and it was spicy chicken tenders. I couldn't eat and I mean it was spicy my husband and my son said and they like spicy food, but they said it was so spicy they couldn't even hardly eat it so we called and the manager told us that she was very sorry for the mishap the misunderstanding and if we brought our receipt up there that she would refill our order completely my husband and my son are on their way now to get that order redone so I wantto thank Golden Chick for seeing their flaw ofnot listening when a customer gives an order properly because there are people out there that are allergic to certainthings and when you tell themyou're allergic, they should take head to that and pay attention to what they are giving out, but I want to thank the manager for being nice and courteous. she seemed very sweet on the phone and my husband said she was very nice. personally so I thank her very much but I would still give it a four. The food was great but the order and the lack of understanding about someone's allergies, so that's the reasonI can't give a 5 review

The food is always hot and crispy. I call it scrunchy, well worth the money, not expensive. Always…read morefast, we never wait in line forever. The restaurant is very nice and clean we go every week for the last 3 weeks Since they opened. No disappointment
