    Combo 1
    Angeline N.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    This place is super cute and modern, plays good music, has great customer service and the food was delicious! We got the shrimp and the snow crab and the shrimp were huge and the snow crab cluster portion was very generous! We got the hut special sauce mild and it was perfect blend of spicy, sweet, garlicky and buttery! We will definitely go back!

    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!

    Trying this place to see if it's worth the hype!
    Jamie C.

    The hype was SO HUGE for this place so I was very excited to try it but it was very disappointing! So sad that there's no great place for live crawfish around me (if anyone has tried one that they like, PLEASE let me know!). 1. We ordered the banh mi and it came out... cold... and hard... and we asked them to toast it... and it came out 15 minutes later cold... and hard... But it was browner! 2. They charge for sauce... I would prefer they just charge more for their menu items and give you the extra sauce. I don't even order extra sauce ever but I saw it on the menu and was appalled. 3. The seafood boil itself was really nothing special and that was the nail in the coffin for me. The shrimp was not great quality but their clams were fresh! Overall I am not going back because it really wasn't worth the wait or my money :/

    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!

    This place is DA BOIL BOMB!! This is one of my fave seafood boil places. Everything here is good from the quality of their seafood and the sauces. The fried calamari was awesome. It was done perfectly and seasoned well. Service is great and the place is very clean. and if you're looking to get some dessert, there's a market next door with a lot of good choices. I highly recommend this place is you're a seafood boil fan!!

    Tried this seafood boil spot and ordered The Hut Special. It was just okay--definitely not on the same level as places like Boiling Crab or Hot N Juicy. The sauce was overly oily, which took away from the flavor. On the plus side, the fries were good and the calamari was decent. Service was excellent and very attentive. Overall, it wasn't bad, but not good enough for me to return.

Exceptional presentation, speedy service & the taste was of course amazing. To start off, the restaurant interior spoke for itself , a fantastic choice for a dinner date. From the unique bar in the center all the way to the intricacies of the bathroom designs carved into the bowl of the sink. Insane. I've never been to china but I can say it was nice to feel like I was really stepping out of my daily life and directly into a new unfamiliar exciting place. The pork belly was beautifully cooked, paired with a side of rice and pickled veggies that cut through the fattiness beautifully. During dinner, we accidentally dropped out cup of tea and they cleaned everything up and had a new one for us within 10 minutes, which I loved. The servers were so sweet and checked on us first and the team worked so effortlessly together to remedy the situation. I will say the dish that stood out to me the most was the crab roe noodles. An insane dish that honestly brought new flavors to my palette. Saucy and savory and delicious, but don't take my word for it. Please do yourself a favor and go try out this dish, I promise you won't forget it!
