Food: Fried Seafood Basket is perfect if you walked in, saw the many delicious things on the menu, and couldn't decide on one. The best part is there's different basket configurations for the amount of fish, shrimp, and oyster, as well as the option for fried rice. The pork banh mi was stellar, really hit the spot. It's surprisingly larger than one might be used to (which is a great thing). Vietnamese Iced Coffee was well-balanced. Nice and strong coffee flavor, with just the right enough milk to balance it without overwhelming it. Service: Outstanding. The owner is super sweet. I honestly liked both the food and vibe here such that I came right back the next day. Military discount is available. Seating: Tables configured for about 4-8 people, with Parking: Shared plaza lot. Looked popular, but there should be at least a spot or two opening on a given read more

The young lady who took our order was very nice. I even got a military discount. Other than that, the food was okay, and so was the service. The young lady who brought our food looked like she hated life and dreaded every time she brought out a plate. The place was packed, and everyone seemed to enjoy their meal--except my wife and me. I got the brisket pho. While the broth was good, it was missing authentic Vietnamese flavor. The brisket was extremely overcooked and dry, and my wife's fried rice was yellow, with orange-colored eggs due to the seasoning, which was neither pleasant nor authentically Vietnamese. Sadly, neither the ambiance nor the food was up to par! read more

My family came for dinner here in a Friday. This eatery is a no frills, order at the counter place. My Son absolutely demolished his pho and said it was great. Daughter ordered a small chicken fried rice and I was so astonished at the quantity, I could only ask in wonderment what the big size looked like. Everything is bigger in Texas, as they say! My vermicelli bowl with pork was delicious and I was impressed at the massive size, definitely worth sharing. My husband's gumbo bowl was delicious and huge, and he could only finish half his grilled pork banh mi which was very filling. This place is a great value for all the food that is provided and it is tasty too. We all left happy and full with a couple of take out boxes. read more

This was a walking distance from our hotel and now whenever I go back to Galveston, I will be eating here. They have an Asian and Cajun menu combined all the food looks amazing. I had loaded fries that were incredible. The Vietnamese coffee was so good we also had the pho and spring rolls and everything was wonderful. It's small but very clean and efficient. The staff are very nice. They cook everything fresh to order but it still comes out very quick. It's very well Priced good portions. Just a great place. read more

Located in a small strip center, I was a little wary because it wasn't super clean. Dirty glass, floor and tables did not overrule the wonderful Smells coming from the kitchen. We ordered a variety of dishes including fried fish&shrimp, snow crab clusters, Bahn Mi sandwich, and crab cakes. Everything was good food wise but the plastic cutlery was cheap, the drinks came in cans, and the service was bring a plate when it's done. We ended up waiting for 45 minutes for the three orders of snow crab clusters meaning everyone was done eating 15 minutes BEFORE they got their order. Management did come three times to tell us it will only be a minute, 10 minutes apart. While the food was good, we will not be back. read more

We really loved our fish. It was very yummy and smooth. I love the texture and the taste (6 of 10). The fries definitely needed some additional seasoning, but it was fresh. The shrimp was a little overcooked with no seasoning! My biggest Takeaway is I would come back here again, BUT please stop sweeping while I'm eating. It is so rude to sweep where people are eating. I don't know how else to say it but that!!!!! read more

Stopped by for lunch because my parents have fond memories of food from here when we ordered it to eat at our condo during our visit to Galveston several summers ago. On this in-person visit, the food was just ok, nothing special. We ordered fried catfish and shrimp, with fries and fried rice. The batter was light but had no flavor so I had to use lots of tartar sauce and cocktail sauce. I saw several diners eat the Vietnamese Rice plates and maybe that's what I should have ordered. The restaurant is not as clean as I'd like. The floor is sticky causing your shoes to make noise when you walk. Be aware that there's only one restroom. read more

At the tail end of crawfish season, we tried Viet-Cajun for the first time. Wow! What they lacked in size (it is the end of the season so I'm taking that into account), they more than made up for in flavor. Enjoying perfectly spiced crawfish with the right amount of heat, I was delighted to have my two pounds. I had one potato and a nibble round of corn. The potato was fine, but the corn was delicious and I generally don't like crawfish corn. Two big thumbs up from us! read more

So IMTexas 70.3 relay weekend all about keeping up carbs before race. Day decided mix it up so found Viet Cajun near air BnB. It lot like Yamamoto had no idea the food be more less Vietnamese food in Texas. I was surprise but the Pork Banh Mi. Pretty good. Nothing as legit as the ones get in Vegas. In Galveston definitely hit the right spot. The bread was solid, hearty, and sandwich order again. I got it take out. The restaurant inside has decent amount of seats. U go up counter order then pick up food. It kind of food court style find spot sit down. The staff interacted with friendly and nice. If in Galveston. Viet Cajun would recommend. read more

I was beyond amazed at this little restaurant. My partner and I came in after stopping at the gas station in the same parking lot. The atmosphere is very relaxed and cozy. The menu was expansive and truly had something for everyone. We ordered a pho to share and a pork banh mi. The food truly exceeded our expectations. I was particularly pleased with the banh mi. It was a very generous serving and perfectly seasoned. We were even fortunate enough to enjoy our food while the restaurant played Cars 2 on the tv in the dining room. We will definitely be coming back to Viet Cajun! read more

Viet Cajun - Seafood Near Me - Galveston, Texas

Located in a strip mall, this was one of the few dining locations within walking distance of the hotel we were staying at. No frills seafood boil place that also serves several Vietnamese dishes including pho. Ambiance is casual - You order and pay at the counter, then are seated and your meal is brought to you. Ordered a variety of items, including pho, shrimp vermicelli, shrimp fried rice, fried seafood combo (fried shrimp, oyster and fish) that came with choice of fries or fried rice, and gumbo. Only gumbo is pictured, as we were hangry and devoured our food. Pricing was reasonable and spent about $80, easily feeding 5 people. read more

Boudain balls were packed with flavor and delicious fresh. They do not skimp on anything. Their Banh Mi was stuffed with delicious pork that was so flavorful and a great compliment to the pickled carrot and the fresh bun. Wow. GO HERE if in Galveston. Service was so sweet. Very popular so make sure to get there asap. :) read more

I was really looking forward to trying this place. It seemed like it was very casual and easy in and out. I was disappointed. The service is terrible. The staff is a bunch of bumbling, mumblers. They seem surprised that their job is to serve food. I arrived at 12:02. I was one of two tables in the place when I ordered. I got my food at at 12:25 but not before others that has arrived after me received their Pho. They seem to be able to serve the pho quickly. But I also watched meals being partially delivered to other tables and then they waited for sandwiches etc. The food is way to average to put up with the careless service. The portions are small and nothing was standout! My meal didn't arrive so I kept checking and finally it showed up at the counter as to go food and not the sit in meal I wanted. I had to again ask for silverware and ice and a cup and napkins. I had a seafood platter with fried rice. You can do much better on the island. Pass this one by and find another place to eat. Not worth the time or the price! read more

Everything we ordered was delicious. The Pork Vermicelli Bowl was excellent. The shrimp spring rolls and the egg rolls were great. The Pho was also delicious. The seafood gumbo was kind of mid as far as gumbos go but still tasty. read more

Reasonably priced. Friendly service. Perfect fried shrimp. Don't let the strip center fool you.

Small, hole in the wall restaurant right across from the beach. Decent Vietnamese food that we were happy to find in the area! We had Pho with a lovely broth and plenty of meat and other fixings in the soup. Also tried the catfish poboy that was tasty. Spring rolls were fresh and generous with the shrimp. Kids had burgers (why???) - they said they were tasty. We would go back. 4 rating - tables were sticky, place is a bit dingy. read more

Viet Cajun - "Homemade Lemon Tea" - Seafood Near Me - Galveston, Texas

We were looking for a quick lunch and wanted to try out a Viet spot on the island. It was a Friday during Lent so we were looking for seafood. You order at the counter when you walk in. Being our first time, I didn't get a chance to fully peruse the menu. The person at the counter was not rude, but I felt the need to hurry up and order. I went with a fried seafood basket. You can choose between French fries or fried rice as your side. I thought that was cool, and of course I chose fried rice. You seat yourself and they bring the food to your table. It came out fairly quickly and was hot and fresh. This is casual spot and has a view of the beach across the street. I would come back to try the more traditional Viet dishes. read more

I usually come here for their crawfish. The best FRIED RICE I have tasted. Felt like my father was in the kitchen cooking. I don't know what sort of breading or batter they use. It tasted like cornmeal and it is wonderful. Shrimp, oysters, fried fish came out golden crispy like I like.!!! read more

Passed by Viet Cajun more than a handful of times and we finally pulled in and gave it a try. It's a a self service restaurant. order at the counter, grab your utensils/ condiments, and someone will bring out your food. tables were clean, but had a lived in vibe. Now for the food. -Egg rolls were traditional which means they'll be small. The perfect appetizer for us. -The fried basket was pretty average imo. Nothing to phone home about. I think it would benefit greatly from some seasoning. -PoBoy was great. Bf liked it at a lot! - SHOWSTOPPER!! the wings. Loved the wings. We got it tossed in the same sauce they use for their crawfish/ seafood and it was amazing. read more

For a viet spot in galveston, the pho is actually good. I liked that the broth was clear and it tasted hearty. It's not like a usual spot where they give u a whole plate of bean sprouts and mint but they give you a pouch on the side. The brisket was tender and fatty but the steak was a little tough. I would get double brisket pho next time. Their cajun basket was also well seasoned and definitely worth it for the amount of food. I like that they give u a whole bottle of tartar sauce to use! There is limited seating and service is as needed so it's just a place pay first, and then sit and eat. Overall, 7.5/10. read more

Yummers! Get in line, order at the counter and they bring your food up your table. This place stays busy so expect some sort of line. Long,short, whatever. I had the boiled shrimp. The seasoning had just the right amount of "kick". Well cooked, not chewy. He had a burger, which he referred to as "pretty damn good". Plentiful servings and great flavor! Overall they good a job of keeping the place clean, there is a small outdoor seating area, and only 1 bathroom for customers. BYOB!! Enough said. LoL read more

Best seafood spot in Galveston. Great grilled and fried, awesome fried rice, decent viet food. Good service and casual atmosphere.

Called in my order and by the time I showed up, the food was basically waiting at the door for me. Fastest service ever -- I barely had time to blink. We had five hungry people, so we tried a little bit of everything. The meatless pho and brisket pho? Absolute winners. The fried fish and fried shrimp? Crunchy, tasty, no complaints. The Banh Mi pork sandwich? Straight-up solid. But the grilled fish, that thing was so overcooked it could've been used as a hockey puck. Nearly broke a tooth trying to bite it. Everything else was good though, so I might come back -- just not ordering that fish again unless I need building material. read more

Friendly and fast service. Food was good. Would have given 5 stars had the inside been more geared towards you staying to eat. You can see the fridge and all supplies piled on top of stuff. read more

Good lunch spot. They must have a huge following because they were filling orders the whole time. The chicken fried rice (large portion) fed two in my family and we still took some home. The burger was not worth ordering again, but it was a good option for a kid. They gave a huge portion of fries, but I sure wish the ketchup was Heinz. Instead it was a weird off brand taste. Soda cans were super cold which was wonderful, I cannot stand hot drinks. We liked this little place and I can see us returning. read more

Food was amazing and everyone there was so nice, can't wait to go back. Had good ambiance too with view of water.

Food was amazing! Had the fried rice, it already smells good when you walk in there. My wife had fried and grilled catfish with veggies. Prices are more than reasonable and the portions are BIG!! Service and personell are great. No complaints at all! If you like it spicy, try their homemade chili paste. Very flavorful. A must go if you are in Galveston in my opinion. read more
