This is a classic Vietnamese crawfish spot that delivers a solid experience. While it may not be extraordinary, it certainly has its highlights. The standout feature is undoubtedly the sauce—absolutely amazing and packed with flavor. The service was decent, though there was a minor hiccup when I was handed a cup with just ice and nothing else. As for the oysters, they were okay, not the best I’ve had, but still enjoyable. That said, the delicious sauce truly elevates the meal and makes it worth a visit.

This is my favorite spot to enjoy fresh seafood, especially the crawfish! I absolutely love the 7 different sauces they offer, and the garlic noodles are incredibly tasty. The customer service is excellent, so thoughtful and attentive. I had such a great experience here and highly recommend it to everyone!

I ate these guys on Sunday June 14th. I can tell you right now I was highly disappointed. I’m from the south so I was expecting something from this place considering they have a bunch of these in the south. Every one of those were great. However this seems like glorified Chinese seafood. I ordered a battered shrimp appetizer. The shrimp are brought out to me still whole skin on and friend and seasoned. So all flavor of the shrimp is going to be peeled off. This should’ve been a red flag to start. I order the combo number three. 2 pounds crawfish, 1 pound shrimp, 1 pound sausage. I ordered it Cajun and medium spice level. It had absolutely no resemblance of Cajun seasoning or flavor. It was very bland. All you could taste was garlic and butter. The quality of the crawfish and shrimp was also in question it tasted off for sure. It was almost like it was frozen. The only reason I’m even making this review is because of how absurd this place is my meal was $70 and I can tell you right now it shouldn’t have been more than $40 because this is just a poor imitation of Cajun boil in a bag restaurants. For anyone that actually thinks this place is Cajun good is sorely mistaken. Don’t. This place just gives Cajun food a bad name. As I write this review I’m sick to my stomach and I definitely think this place is the reason for it.

NOT ALL SHRIMPS ARE CREATED EQUAL!Read several glowing reviews and thought the spot would be legit, but we were disappointedThe shrimp meats were mostly on the soft or mushy side, lacking the typical density of fresh shrimp we had elsewhere, it’s as if the shrimps were soaked for too long... The shrimp heads also had a bitter taste and missing the usual umami flavor. Several of the mussels were not cleaned properly and still had the “hair” attached. Sauce flavor was too mild, we have had our shared of Cajun shrimps, and this experience was poor.

This place was good. I order the shrimp with the fries. The only thing is that you will have a messy dinner. So be prepared to get ur hands dirty.

If you want to eat crawfish, this place has very delicious sauce and the price is a bit high, around $30-100. The space is very large and there is a lot of parking but the service is a bit

We got the combo with 2lb shrimp and 1lb clams with the house special sauce, rice, and cajun fries on the side. The price was right!! Significantly less expensive than Boiling Crab and Kickin Crab. The fries were great. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We loved the big chunky pieces of garlic in the house special sauce. We got medium spice cause I chickened out of trying the spicy level but I think next time I'll get the spicy level. The only thing I can say negatively is that they may want to cook the shrimp a bit less so that the shells don't stick when peeling. But over all, so so good!
