    Cajun Fries

    This place is for my crawfish lovers (and other seafood too lol)! They hands down have the best jumbo crawfish around (compared to BC, Kickin', etc). Typically other places offer frozen or in season but they are always on the smaller size and sometimes can be super mushy. The jumbo crawfish here is always fresh. I also like how much garlic they add into their sauce. Another plus is they have a lot of TV screens so you can catch a sports game here too! They also have happy hour if you're looking for a quick seafood bite!

    Service was great and the seafood itself was huge. The only thing I did not like was their sauce. It's on the sweeter side. I was hoping for more of a spicy, tangy and buttery sauce. Just a lower rating because the sauce should be the key thing. If you like it on the sweeter side than you should def come here

    So yummy! Glad I was able to visit the Crawfish Hut before the end of crawfish season. As others have said, this spot is in the same plaza as Rodeo 39 but parking isn't too difficult to come by. The restaurant itself is clean and service is friendly and speedy. Plenty of TVs for entertainment or sports-watching while eating. I usually like to sit inside and enjoy my seafood boils, but this time I got mine to-go so I could sit outside and enjoy the weather. There's a to-go order screen at the front of the restaurant. I got 1 lb of fresh crawfish with hut special sauce, mild spiciness, and corn. My order was ready pretty fast. The crawfish was so delicious and there was lots of sauce for dipping. They had some really big guys too which is always a plus. I like this spot, so I'll be back the next time I'm craving a seafood boil.

    whenever i have a strong craving for a seafood boil, the crawfish hut truly never disappoints me !! my friend and i kept talking about getting a seafood boil at work and decided to get it on a random monday evening, and it wasn't too crowded yet so ordering and service was really quick! they give you an apron and gloves too, which i always appreciate getting. combo 1 was perfect for us since i love shrimp, she loves crawfish, and we both love manila clams !! we ordered it in mild with the hut special sauce which is super addicting. we also ordered sausage to go in the bag, which you can never go wrong with. everything was cooked to perfection and seasoned so well !! we also got a side of popcorn chicken gizzard, which had a great crunch and chew and acted as a great opposing texture to the seafood boil. this place remains as my favorite seafood boil spot to eat with my friends and family!

    This seafood boil place is top tier with amazing and spacious seating. The employees are incredibly nice and friendly, no trouble at all. My girlfriend and I got the crawfish and shrimp and both were really juicy and packed with flavor. We got both in their house special sauce which was filled with a lot of butter and garlic. As for pricing wise, I believe that everything on the menu was reasonable 100% a must try for everyone who loves seafood boils.

    This is my go-to seafood boil spot in OC! It's located in the same plaza as Rodeo 39 so parking can be a hassle, but there's never been a wait when I go despite how good it is. The workers are always really friendly and efficient. It's pretty spacious inside with lots of booths and tables. I usually get the Combo 1 with mild spice and their hut special sauce, which is a combination of all their sauces, and the cod basket with cajun fries. The seafood boil is super flavorful and not just butter like some other places. The best part about their seafood boil is how fresh and huge the seafood is! Even when we get frozen crawfish because the fresh ones are out of season, they are HUGE and taste great. The clams are also huge and soak up the sauce super well, and the shrimp aren't overcooked and mushy which is nice. I wish the combos came with more toppings, but we paid extra for potato and sausage, which were both worth it! We also tried their cod basket that came with fries of our choice, and we went with cajun fries. The fish tasted fresh and there was a perfect ratio of crispy batter. The fries were also crispy and well seasoned. I can't wait for crawfish season to be in full swings because I can't imagine how good they'd be!

    3 pounds crawfish, hut sauce, mild

    We are back again! It has to be the 20th time by now. I just came back from houston and this is still the only place that tastes like home. If you're familiar with the famous crawfish and noodles this is the closest thing. Even out of season they try to get jumbo for the frozen crawfish which is amazing most places don't really care. I've tried every other place possible, boiling crab, hot n juicy, bag o crab and i'm sorry but those aren't event comparable. Thank you guys as long as you guys are open i'll be back.

    Shrimp garlic noodles. Can skip
    Rebecca T.

    Stanton, CA - can this beat the sauce at the OG vietnamese-run seafood boil place? On par! Definitely gotta try their house special sauce - buttery, tons of fresh garlic, slightly sweet, savory, goes really well with everything that's in the bag! We got clams, snow crab cluster, shrimp and corn. Also ordered half a dozen of oysters and the garlic noodles with shrimp. Clams and shrimp tasted plump and fresh. Oysters were briny and fresh, not as creamy as I hoped. The snow crab didn't have much flavor kinda like old frozen seafood to me. The garlic noodles were the biggest let down where the noodles were cooked for too long, and it wasn't garlicky and buttery enough. I appreciate the addition of some veg in the noodle dish. Celery was an interesting choice... it might be better with asparagus instead. The shrimp there lacked flavor so we just threw them in our seafood boil bag with the sauce. We also would like to have the option of a side order of garlic noodles instead of a whole entree with an entree price. Not too happy about that. Service was good. He gave us what we asked for but don't quite come and refill our water proactively. The space was big with lots of tables, definitely can accommodate big groups. Plenty of parking sharing the same plaza as Rodeo 39 food hall. Overall, great place for Cajun style seafood because their sauce was amazing, but I wouldn't say it's a perfect meal yet.

    Insane seafood boil spot! Been going here since they opened a little over a year ago and so glad to see there's a lot of customers now - they deserve it! We ordered 2 pounds of the fresh crawfish, 1 pound of the green mussels, and 1 pound of head on shrimp all with the amazing hut special mild sauce and a side of popcorn chicken gizzard. Love how the sauce isn't too salty and is loaded wth garlic and the chicken gizzard was fried to perfection - super tender and crispy. I recommend this spot to all my seafood boil lovers and it never disappoints!

    Tiffany T.

    Came here for a quick lunch and it was way above all expectations. For one do expect a slightly pricier seafood boil but that is the price one pays. My favorite part about this spot is the sauce! Their special sauce manages to stay just spicy enough and isn't as oily as other spots. They also give some hefty portions of sides. Overall one of my top spots for seafood boil and I would definitely return!

    We decided to try Crawfish Hut for my dad's birthday and anniversary since the 4.8 stars looked super promising. I was expecting something out of the box and memorable, but overall I walked away feeling a little mixed. The ambiance was cute, clean, and cozy, so props there. The food itself was tasty, not overly salty or drenched in sauce, but it was really oily. Like, tasty oily. But still super oily. We got three lobster tails, a package deal, fries, calamari, and linguine, which came out to about $170 after tip and tax. For three people, that felt like a stretch, especially since I could have easily eaten another two or three pounds of shrimp. The garlic bits were delicious, but I honestly felt kind of heavy after the meal. Service was kind and patient, but there were not many hands on deck, so things took a bit longer. Overall, not bad, but not quite the memorable experience I was hoping for.

    I came in around 8:30pm on a Wednesday night with a few of my friends & we were warmly welcomed by the sweet employees! It's right side of Rodeo39 restaurant under the cool lanterns. There was groovy, chill music playing in the background with big TVs all around next to plenty of tables! The menu has variety of items from seafood to fried food baskets & free refills on their drinks! You can choose to order pounds separately or choose one of their affordable combos. We ordered combo #3 w/ shrimp, crawfish, & snow crab but we added extra crawfish pound & garlic noodles! Unfortunately, theres no alcohol here for drinkers but it's so delicious you'll forget about it. The strawberry lemonade was super sweet & they took it off the check as a gift aww. Current discounts: oysters are $15 instead or $20 for half a dozen & you get 1 corn for each pound of seafood you order! Definitely coming back soon :) They have reward points!

    The Crawfish Hut is part of Rodeo 39 Public Market. It's to the right outside of the main building along with a few other businesses on the same strip. We came on a Friday evening, and it wasn't too crowded around 5:30 p.m. but got a little more crowded as the evening went on. I got the head on shrimp with the "Hut Special" sauce which is a combination of the Classic Cajun and Garlic Butter sauces. The taste is on the sweeter side compared to other seafood boil places. I got non-spicy since our server mentioned that even the mild spice level has a kick to it. I tried some of the mild sauce, and it wasn't too bad! They provide you with a bib, plastic gloves, plates, lemons, a small cup of salt and pepper mix, and a pair of scissors. The bag comes in a big metal bowl, so you can empty it out to make it a little easier to eat if you want! Staff is friendly and attentive!

We came here to celebrate a friend's birthday, and making a reservation in advance was definitely the right move--we were seated right away as soon as we arrived. The atmosphere immediately sets the mood. The interior is modern and stylish, featuring warm lighting, beautiful wall decor, and really creative, eye-catching ceiling light fixtures that give the space a chic, elevated feel. The menu offers an incredible variety of contemporary Chinese dishes, making it perfect for family-style dining. We ordered a wide assortment of plates to share, and every single dish was flavorful and executed to perfection. The highlight of the meal was definitely the noodle dishes--the texture of the hand-crafted noodles was top-tier, perfectly springy and chewy. Their HK style milk tea with cheese foam and grass jelly is highly recommended on the side note. I really enjoyed drinking it along with all my food. We finished our celebration with their mango shaved ice for dessert, which was refreshing, light, and the perfect sweet ending to an amazing meal. From the attentive service to the fantastic food and gorgeous setting, QUA made our birthday celebration special. Highly recommended for group gatherings or a nice dinner out!

It's so refreshing to have such attentive service versus other restaurants who just want to turn over tables as quickly as possible. I wish I would have taken more photos, but we focused on our wine, food and conversation. I particularly liked the French Malbec, Neo. Our lunch started with their homemade chicken and cilantro soup, which was very tasty and had lots of chunky vegetables and chicken. I had the Tallarin Saltado, Surf & Turf, which was a stir fry of prime beef, shrimp, onions, tomato and spaghetti. I personally am not a fan of eating french fries in Lomo Saltado, so I wanted to try their Tallarin Saltado, since it also had spaghetti in it. It was delicious!

The ceviche had a mix of the different seafood they offer, and the fresh, bright lime flavor was perfect. The steak entrée was just as memorable--the sauce was bold, rich, and packed with flavor, and everything on the plate worked so well together. I had the house margarita, which was subtly sweet with a surprisingly complex flavor and easily one of the better margaritas I've had. The service made the experience even better. We sat at the bar and felt genuinely welcomed from the moment we arrived. The service was personal and attentive, and they took the time to understand our questions and walk us through the menu rather than making us feel rushed. Between the incredible Peruvian-Japanese flavors, the quality of the food, and the impeccable service, this was one of those meals you keep talking about afterward. We will absolutely be back.
