    The food here was AMAZING! I'm from the south so I have pretty high standards for seafood boils, but this place raised the bar even higher! Everything was perfectly cooked and the seasoning was on point! The service was 10/10. Our drinks were never empty, our discard trays emptied every couple minutes, and we were constantly checked on. Our servers name was Tony, and he was awesome!

    I've been coming here a lot lately, and honestly, it's just really good. If you have no self control or are trying not to gain 10 pounds, you might want to think twice before coming in because it's hard to stop once you start. The house special sauce is the real star. It's packed with flavor and really takes everything to the next level. The Vietnamese Cajun seafood boil overall is super satisfying messy, bold, and exactly what you want when you're craving something rich and indulgent. Definitely one of those spots that keeps you coming back if you're in the mood for a seafood boil.

    The food is typical crawfish and crab spot, that is comparable to any other place. Nothing stood out. The service was a young energetic staff. They could have been a little bit more attentive. The restaurant is small so a little loud and busy. With reservations there was still an hour wait. Food is basically basic seafood and everything is a la carte. You have to pay extra for corn, sausage, and potatoes. Those items are so cheap and should be included but unfortunately not. The amount of corn was 3 small pieces. Sausage was about a half a sausage. They sausage is necessary to add flavor to the seafood. It's as if the seasoning chosen was added after the steam.

    Great food and fast service! I ordered take out online after stopping at Trader Joe's nearby during my layover. I got the crab fried rice and my friend got the house fried rice. After getting the take out, we just decided to eat in since it would be better than eating at the airport. Wait staff was very accommodating and even gave us waters. The portions for the fried rice were HUGE! All 4 of us were so full afterwards. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in Seattle!

    There was a crawfish spot in Seattle that had been my favorite spot for many years. But the last time I tried that place, the flavor totally changed and was not as good as it had always been. And a couple people who also loved that place said this place was really good, so I believed them, and been wanting to try this place for a while. And then I actually tried the location in Stanton, CA first just last month, and really enjoyed it, so when friends invited us out for dinner here, I happily accepted. I got the same thing as that last time: a pound of head-on shrimp and a pound of green mussels in the Hut Special sauce at the Flaming spice level. I didn't find it that spicy, but the flavor was still really good. We all really enjoyed our boils. Staff was friendly, and service was great.

    Cocktail forgot the name but delicious!

    Crave-able crawfish and crab!! My new favorite seafood boil restaurant! My friends and had a great time. We enjoyed some tasty drinks, and shared the crab fries, a combo boil with crab, crawfish, and shrimp with their house hut sauce medium spice. It was all really delicious! Their sauce was exactly what I want in a seafood boil, and the crab fries were perfect. The restaurant is cute and clean. It's very bright and inviting. The staff were all friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I would definitely recommend you to fulfill your seafood boil cravings at Crawfish Hut, try some of their yummy appetizers, or grab some drinks!

    I'm so glad a crawfish place that's good opened up near my house. Though it can be dangerous as it is so close! I've been here a handful of times already and it is hands down the best crawfish place I've been to in Seattle. First off, there was never a time where it was too busy that I had to wait, though there were times I did see a line after I was sat. So do make a reservation on a weekend if you come. There is also a lot of parking outside which is a plus. The service here is always quick and attentive. All the drinks I've gotten here are also good in terms of taste and alcohol content. The crawfish and the sauce / spice is so gooood. They also have certain days where they have specials as well too! The only thing is crawfish is always so expensive. Whenever I come here, my portion is almost always $100. Though that is normal with every crawfish place, crawfish definitely isn't a place to eat often.

    I ordered combo 3 adding boiled egg and sausage. I chose Hut Special sauce for it. Very flavorful, I liked it a lot!! I really liked that the shrimp was clean and de-veined! The only thing is that I wish the sauce was a little less salty, I eat very salty but this is a bit too much, and the bottom it gets, the saltier it is too, so if you can adjust this it would be perfect!!! Also ordered garlic fries on the side and it was pretty good as well The service is very efficient and friendly! I would definitely come back :)

    This is the best seafood boil I've tried in the seattle area. I went on valentines for dinner and they had live jazz which was super fun!! I was most surprised by how good the scallops were, they just melted in my mouth. The hut special sauce was great, we got mild which didn't have any spice. I would definitely try a spicy sauce. I also enjoyed the shrimp and the green mussels. I wish they used smaller potatoes and included more of them. Overall, the servers were really nice and attentive. I will definitely be coming back!

    Delicious. Great flavor on the "hut" sauce. Unfortunately, we had some wussies in the group, so we got a big mild combo for everyone. So my biggest complaint is I wish it was a tad spicier. Everything was scrumptious, and I would peg most of the catches as being on the larger end, including the mussels and crab legs. I did find the umami of the crawfish to be somewhat superior to the shrimp here. There was a bit of sand in the mussels, but I forgive you. I will note that a lot of the food had hard shells requiring some cracking, but all we had initially were some very dull shears. Fried rice was good, but not a good pairing for the seafood. That's not to say that it's bad, just that white rice or noodles is more fitting, as most Asians should be able to attest to. This rice actually does have scallop and crawfish. However, the flavor is still rather muted in comparison. The fries had a good texture has well. The nuance of its crispiness reminded me slightly of checkers fries. I do think these would be better with a tad more seasoning of some kind.

    The food here is to die for, and the service is top tier! Tony made our visit especially amazing. He was friendly and created a great ambiance. Also his recommendations were on point. Definitely will come here again!

    We had a great experience with their crab boil. The hut special sauce (we got mild, not spicy at all and I have a low spice tolerance) was absolutely delicious and so flavorful. We were dipping our fries in it. Their raw oysters were really tasty too! It was a lively ambience but not too loud. They have TVs if you want to catch a game.

    Chelsea L.

    Service is kind and fast. Flavors were great for the house special, maybe a bit more garlic would be nice but everything else was good! Loved dipping fries and having rice with the sauce. Adding sausage felt like a ripoff. Probably 6 pieces was max a whole sausage maybe even half of one cut up. Should give more if they're charging $4. Loved having the bibs and gloves. One of the better viet cajun seafood places out there! Fun ambiance too

    My husband and I stopped by last night with our kids and met the sweetest owner. We should've…read moregotten his name but completely forgot and utterly shocked how sweet and kind he was to us. We came in pretty late too and he still let all of us sit and eat. The foods were 10/10. Portions were also 10/10. Service? It was beyond what we expected. He even gave us homemade juices and it was amazing! The kumquats ones. We even brought some back to the hotel. The claw machine and the cotton candy machine was a nice touch! My son and daughter LOVES it and the owner was still chatting with us. The prices were much cheaper than what we'd get in Portland.

My biggest issue, is how well the seafood is cleaned. During my last visit, I noticed that non of the shrimp was cleaned. That grossed me out. If I went again, would avoid getting that. I recently had the catfish poboy. It was just okay. It looked better than it tasted. I can't put my finger on why it wasn't that great, but it was just very "meh". The fries were really good though. Services is okay. They always seem to struggle with service, regardless of how busy the place is. But they are nice. Ambience is what you'd expect at a place like this. Nothing spectacular, but not dirty. I would love if they had a better ventilation system. The friend smells and spices are extremely strong! Overall, a solid restaurant, but if you're looking for a place with high quality seafood, may want to find another spot.

    Came here craving a seafood boil and overall, this was the best one I've had so far!…read moreThe clams were fresh, the crab legs were meaty, the headless shrimp were perfectly cooked, and I loved the addition of eggs and potatoes to soak up all that sauce. The lobster was unfortunately an overcooked, but everything else in the boil was so good that it made up for it. Speaking of the sauce -- it was SO good. We got to choose our sauce and spice level, and it had the perfect balance of flavor, spice, and heat without overpowering the seafood. It complemented everything really well. We also ordered the calamari. It was crispy, but the batter was a bit heavy and could've used more seasoning. Service was great -- our server was kind, attentive, and checked in on us regularly without being intrusive. They also offer combo meals, which I thought were a great value for the amount of seafood you get. Overall, I'd absolutely come back. If you're craving a seafood boil with customizable spice and solid portions, this spot is worth it!

The dining area and bar was packed but found some spots and hob-nobbed with locals at the bar. Got a drink, oysters for wife and some shooters. The oysters in the shooter were as pictured, plump, tasty with some cocktail sauce - loved them. Was thinking of another round when found wife wasn't so happy with the sad dozen micro-oysters she was serviced. Somehow, I realized the second level resturant was serving better oysters similiar to what was being used in the oyster shooter and we relocated to top level of the resturant. What a difference, different menu, was a fine dining experience - just what we needed so stepped up to the next level. Another dozen oysters, a few more oyster shooters, another round of cocktails, watched the beautiful sunset, fantastic service from the staff, we were totally relaxed and amazingly happy. Definitely will be back and promised my wife 2-3 dozen oysters the next time.

The chowder was ok, my preference is usually something a bit thicker. The entree looked like it was defrosted and cooked in the microwave. The flavors were stale and watered down a lot.

The service was fine and they did their jobs - they were attentive and always served us with great hospitality. Again, I did not expect much from a course meal for that price but I probably wouldn't have it again.

You aren't getting bottom of the barrel keta (translated from native tongue to "dog") fish or "pink" salmon (only 1 tier up), you're getting fresh fish. There was no hint of gross "fishy" smell before or after eating. (To make your salmon last longer, may I suggest enjoying your salmon with rice and veggies, or in a sandwich?) They also sell high quality pork, beef, chicken, and other things in the freezer like sausage, duck, cheese. They also have pretty nicely priced wines for sale, from low $10s and up. Whites, reds, and bubblies. Highly recommend you make the side-tour to this joint for salmon. A fish dressed to impress that will win you praises.
