One random 2 a.m. side quest to Cajun Bistro 7 turned out to be one of the best food adventures I've ever had. Since that night, it has become the only seafood boil spot that I consistently come back to. My go-to order is the shrimp and crawfish with their Sweet California sauce, along with a side of garlic noodles. The Sweet California sauce is what keeps me returning. It's not your typical Cajun seafood boil sauce--it has a unique flavor that's completely its own and sets this place apart from every other seafood boil restaurant I've tried. Depending on when you visit, the restaurant can either be packed or nearly empty. It's a smaller space, and large parties tend to come through often, so wait times can vary. One thing to keep in mind is that the host, server, and food runner are often the same person. Because of that, I always try to give them some grace. If you need something, just let them know, and they'll do their best to take care of you as quickly as possible. Don't let the small exterior fool you--this place is absolutely delicious. Whether it's 11 a.m. or 3 a.m., I'll happily find myself back here for another seafood boil. read more

Cajun Bistro 7 - garlic noodles and seafood with sweet california sauce - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Stopped into this spot because me and my partner in crime were hungry after a long day of ocean dwelling. Both being huge fans of seafood and Cajun food, I looked up what was close by on the way home. This spot was small and jam packed busy at almost 9pm when we got there. Moderately decorated but not really Cajun themed 3/5. I ordered mussels and he ordered shrimp, plus some wings on the side. The service was quick, almost too quick, and I felt a bit rushed to order. I'm sure it's because they were packed and were trying to turn as many tables as possible, but it still felt a bit much, service gets a 3.75/5. I ordered my muscles sweet California style and wood ordered his shrimp spicy Cajun. Mine were perfect hard 5/5 for flavor, cook, and presentations. Woods shrimp was a 4.75/5 because it was a bit too spicy. The wings were basic flavor but well cooked, 4/5. Overall I give this place a 4/5 read more

We came here on a whim because the reviews seemed great, but unfortunately our experience was really disappointing. We ordered a few pounds of crawfish, garlic noodles, and bò lúc lắc. It took over an hour just to get the garlic noodles. The bò lúc lắc came out about 10 minutes later, and then we waited another 15 minutes for the crawfish. Altogether, our food took close to 1.5 hours, which is honestly unacceptable for a casual restaurant. You would think crawfish would be one of the quicker dishes to come out. We had originally planned to order even more crawfish afterward so it would come out fresh, but after seeing how long everything was taking, we decided to cancel that idea entirely. To make things worse, the crawfish sauce was overloaded with mayo, which was such an odd combination and not enjoyable at all. The food itself definitely did not justify the long wait. The restaurant felt cramped, outdated, and more like a bar than a place to comfortably eat dinner. The servers were young and seemed overwhelmed or unsure of what was going on most of the time. Meanwhile, they kept seating more tables and taking orders even though the kitchen was clearly struggling to keep up. We even overheard other tables canceling their food because of the wait times. Overall, this was not a good experience and definitely not somewhere I would return to. The next day we ended up going to Cap't Louis instead to finally satisfy the crawfish craving. read more

Cajun Bistro 7 was the most random late-night decision that turned into one of the best food memories in a while. We pulled up around 2:30AM, slightly buzzed and somehow fully committed to a seafood boil in the middle of the night. Honestly? Zero regrets. First of all, the place was surprisingly packed for that hour which immediately made us trust the process. We ordered a huge seafood boil with king crab legs on the side and fried rice, and we completely grubbed out. Everything was buttery, flavorful, messy, spicy, and exactly what you want after a night out. The fried rice was ridiculously good too and somehow became one of the sleeper favorites of the whole meal. Still can't get over the fact they're open until 4AM. We've literally talked about going back multiple times since. Such a clutch late-night spot. read more

The food here is a 10/5. Seriously, I've been eating crawfish regularly in San Jose for over 20 years and have never had a sauce like the Sweet California. It's so unique and addicting with a perfect sweetness to it that isn't overwhelming with a slight creaminess and not as savory as most other seafood boils. The crawfish they use is amazing as well, it must be a different kind from most others because the meat is more tender and sweet. I have no problem sucking the claw meat out where as other restaurants I have to dig inside the claw to pull out the meat. Soooo good and I visit as often as I can. Friendly service. They offer other food options as well like Bun Bo Hue, Bun Rieu, etc, but the seafood boil is so good that's all I ever get here. It's also open till 4am!!! Club and seafood boil after? read more

Idk why this place has such good reviews. The service is awful. Server was completely clueless when I asked basic questions about the flavors. She didn't bother giving us plates or forks. Let alone they gave us the wrong flavor. We ordered louisiana but they gave us sweet california. It was clearly not louisiana bc it had soooo much mayo for some reason? When we asked to make sure, she was again clueless and said they taste similar? read more

My all time favorite seafood boil place. They are open till 4am so it's a great place for late night munchies. Pro tip if you come after 11pm you get a free pound of any seafood. My go to is also ways one of their combos with sweet California with mild spice. The grilled oysters are always a hit as an appetizer if you are feeling extra hungry. The restaurant is pretty small so I wouldn't recommend coming with a group lager than 4 unless you come during off hours read more

I've came here regularly but the quality was down recently: - The crawfish had less sauce than before, and the garlic noodles were overcooked. - The combination fried rice was kinda wet, it should be drier to get the authentic taste of fried rice. By the way, the service was friendly and fast. The restaurant was clean and had a lot of seats. read more

My friend and I were sooo excited to come here since we came here before and the food was very good. We came in on Wednesday at around 6pm and there was no wait and only 2 other parties inside, however it did take 40 min for the food to come out. We ordered the sweet California 3 pound combo- it was definitely NOT what we got last time. Instead of a garlic buttery sweet sauce it was just straight up CLUMPS of mayo- I even had to double check with the staff that it was sweet California. Also got the garlic parm noodles and they were overcooked and falling apart. The noodles tasted like they were covered in mayo too. Overall I'm really sad that this was a disappointing experience since we were looking forward to it and it took so long to come out. Not a single customer or food delivery person who came in had their food out in anything close to "on time". They were always told 10 more minutes for 30 to go by. We hate wasting food and this was not a cheap meal. 3lb combo was $2 extra if 2lb were crawfish (which is what we ordered) and we could not finish it. It was truly inedible because it was just clumps of mayo :( read more

I've been eyeing Cajun Bistro 7 for awhile now. Located in the very busy shopping mall where parking is a headache sometimes. I got a takeout order, but the service was ok - not bad. The decor is simple and modest. They do have several tables that they can moved together if you have a large party of 8+. I do like that they open up til late hours. Garlic Parmesan Noodles (3/5) - They gave a decent portion, which was a plus. The noodles used in my order were Linguine noodles and a bit overcooked. The flavor was mild and bland. Not one of the better tasting garlic noodles I've had. I'll be back to try their other dishes. read more

I went here with a group of friends for the first time, after we had a craving for seafood boil. This place offered mussels, crawfish, shrimp, and clams, with 1-pound bowls, 3-pound combos, or 4-pound combos, along with corn, sausage, and potatoes. I ordered a pound of mussels with the Sweet California sauce (Original Louisiana and Lemon Pepper were other options), potatoes, and a side of sticky rice. The sauce was DELICIOUS! I felt like my serving of mussels was very generous, steamy, and flavorful. Service was a bit slow, however, we also did eat-in on a Saturday evening in a full restaurant. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Cajun Bistro 7 - Mussels - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

Used to be my favorite seafood boil spot because of their Sweet California sauce but they changed the recipe and I'm surprised that not many people have mentioned it. It tastes so heavily of mayonnaise now and has lost that signature Sweet California flavor. Not sure what happened but I noticed this change after they became viral on TikTok.. weird. read more

Yes it's open late and sometimes they can run out of crawfish but it's sooo good. The place is a little small but it's a great place to go and destroy seafood. Service is nice and the combo gets you corn, sausage, and potato. I almost always get at least 3lbs of crawfish and maybe 1lb of clams and drown the rice in the sauce and you can't go wrong. read more

Cajun Bistro 7 - 4lbs of straight crawfish combo medium Louisiana style - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

This place instantly became our favorite seafood boil spot. We've dined in and take out so many times, this review is overdue. It is a small and rather plain diner but gets packed on fri-sun nights. Wait can get to 1+ hours. Our family favorite sauces are the original Louisiana and sweet California. It just hit different. That sweet buttery salty spicy heart attack. The beef porridge is pretty good. We really like their house special clams and oysters. Please note that the service here is subpar. The kitchen is incredibly slow as they only have 1 cook, so it seems. Every time I've dinner in, there is a 30 min wait before our starters come out. And following a shorter wait, the seafood comes out. But it just taste so good. Worth the wait? read more

This may be a lot of people's favorite spot to eat seafood boil, but I personally think it gets boring after a few bites of my food. The sauce they use here is very creamy/buttery. I got the lemon pepper, hoping it would be on the traditional saltier side, but it's definitely more on the creamier side. The lemon pepper they use here is not the typical salty lemon pepper you are used to. The lemon pepper here has a hint of lemon grass in it, which was such an experience to taste! Overall, I wouldn't come back again to dine since it took us an hour for our food to arrive on a busy Wednesday night. I would probably come back again for take out once in a while! read more

I love this seafood boil place! I've been on the hunt for a new favorite seafood place and this one is it. I love their fresh seafood taste, especially the combo boil with their Sweet California flavor. It's creamy, not too sweet and has a nice savory kick. My family loves their shaken beef and garlic noodles plate, the lamb chops plate and on a few occasions I've ordered their Bun Rieu and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I didn't think a place that excelled so well in their seafood boil game would be able to also make delicious soup, but this place nails it! The garlic noodles here are silky and tasty, the meat here is grilled to perfection and the soup is filled with all kinds of delicious morsels like the chunky fried tofu in a rich, flavorful tomato based broth. Their service is quick and friendly, you only need to raise a hand and they're quick to check on you for water refills. The restaurant is a small hole-in-the-wall type of vibe but its charming. They have about several tables and it can get very busy. I always see a ton of people phoning in for pickup orders . I like to make it before the dinner rush because on a typical Thursday night I've heard them quote a 2 hr wait. Bistro 7 shares the parking lot in a very busy shopping plaza so also be prepared to drive around looking for parking. read more

cajun bistro is such a bay area classic, and for good reason! i've tried quite a few of their dishes: the garlic noodles, sweet potato fries, fish sauce wings, lemon pepper wings, and of course the seafood boil. of course their seafood boil is the star of the show and the reason i (and assumedly everyone else) keep coming back. i get the 30 lb combo with the spicy sweet california and it's so delicious. it has a kick but there's also a sweetness to it. the seafood is always boiled perfectly and the food comes out pretty fast each time. as for their other dishes, they're pleasant but nothing groundbreaking. their wings are really crispy and light in flavor, and the garlic noodles are on the more creamy side. their service is normally just fine but when i went yesterday, the girl working was so sweet and attentive. highly recommend if you're from the south bay and haven't tried cajun bistro yet, or if you're visiting san jose and looking for places to eat! read more

Me and my boyfriend went to Cajun Bistro 7 for crawfish. We've been craving it for a while so this place really hit the spot. We ordered the 3 pound combo with 2 pounds of crawfish and 1 pound of shrimp. We chose the lemon pepper sauce which tasted more like a coconut curry to me, but it was equally delicious. To my surprise, about 80 percent of the crawfish had eggs, which is my favorite part whenever I'm lucky enough to get it. That definitely had to be the highlight of the meal. We also ordered a side of French fries that came out crispy and hot from the fryer. The fish sauce wings were another standout item, very fragrant, perfectly seasoned, and served piping hot. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the seafood was cooked just right. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone craving crawfish or seafood boils. I hope to get more crawfish with eggs next time because that made the experience even better. The only downside was that the restaurant didn't have any music playing, so it felt a bit awkward during quiet moments. It's easy to overhear other tables if you're not talking much. The staff did their job efficiently, taking orders, serving food, and keeping things moving, but there wasn't much warmth or personality in the service. Overall, it was a satisfying meal that definitely fulfilled our crawfish cravings. read more

Without a doubt the best seafood boil in the Bay! Love this Asian twist on seafood boil, and the fact that it's open until 4am?! Unheard of in San Jose. No frills restaurant that has a variety of different viet dishes but the star of the show is their seafood boil! The shrimp they use is so fresh, big, and juicy. I always get the sweet California and it's such a unique flavor, slightly sweet and creamy but still has the garlicky and Cajun punch to it. I also love that they have gloves for you to use! I've tried a couple of their sides (garlic noodles, fries, and wings) but they aren't really anything to write home about, if I were to come here I'd just get the seafood boil. Restaurant itself is decently sized but don't expect anything super fancy. Super standard service, family run with moderate wait times for food. Will forever be my go to for seafood boil! read more

I've had more bad experiences than good while eating at CB7 so I finally give up on craving seafood boil at this specific restaurant. My prior visit here was better, but it's too much of a gamble to dine here. The restaurant was quite busy on a Thursday night, but there wasn't much of a wait until I finished dining there. The worker spoke fluent English so ordering was more feasible. * Combo 1: 2lb head on shrimp & 1 lb clam - 2/5 stars. The shrimp was overcooked again, but the sauce (Sweet California) was good and plentiful. We were waiting for quite a while so we anticipated it was going to be overcooked, but it took us so long to peel the shell off the shrimp and we lost a considerable amount of meat since it stuck to the shell. * Garlic noodles - 1/5 stars. It seems like they changed the entire recipe or they just messed up the night I ordered it. I was expecting the typical spaghetti noodles but was met with fettuccine noodles. Nbd until we tasted it. The noodles had no flavor aside from a mayonnaise flavor?? There were no garlic, parmesan, oyster sauce, or whatever that's usually in their garlic noodles. We left it practically untouched after a couple bites since we were trying to distinguish if the mayonnaise flavor was from the seafood boil or the noodles. * Bap xao - 3/5 stars. Tried it again in case my first time having it was just an off day. It was basic, just tastes like canned corn, butter and dried shrimp. I've had better bap xao at other places. Overall 2/5 stars. You never know whether or not your food will be overcooked. read more

No wait at 7:30pm on Friday for a party of 3. It's a smaller restaurant and the tables are close together. No music playing in the restaurant. We ordered the garlic noodles and fish sauce wings for apps and shared the 4lb combo($70) which comes with potatoes, corn, and hot links. The shrimp are large, soft, and sweet but the crawfish are too small! Muscles and clams are pretty standard. The medium was more of a mild, so if you're looking for that kick definitely get the spicy. Something very different is that they add mayo to the Louisiana cajun sauce which adds a bit of sweetness. Worth trying out! Total bill was about $110 before tip. It was good but not sure if it's worth visiting again for a dinner. I do see they're open until 4am so I would come back for those munchies!! read more

I really enjoy the shrimp and the crawfish here. The crawfish are usually fresh year round, which is uncommon for cajun places. The shrimp are also quite large. You do get less since it's still all by the pound (but that's less pealing!). They have a variety of different sauces here, but my go to is the sweet California sauce. It's creamy, sweet, but also has a nice balance of salt to it. The creaminess alone makes this place stand out from other cajun places, as their sauce only offer the typical cajun/spices. They offer three different spice level, and we tend to get the medium, which is not tooo spicy. Pro tip: we normally ask for our shrimp/cajun in different bags so we can get more sauce. They don't always give a lot of sauce. We also like their corn dish. Can't recall the name right now, but it's chopped up corn with some baby shrimp. This place is also open until 4am, per Yelp! Haven't had food that late, but it's a nice option to the area. Note that everything is made to order so wait times can be long, especially when it's crowded/busy. Parking sucks, but it's manageable. There's a parking lot but it's shared with the other 20 restaurants/boba spots. read more

If you're a seafood boil lover, this spot needs to be on your radar. The seafood was not only fresh and flavorful -- the portion sizes are massive, especially for the price you're paying. We got 4 lb combo with 2 lbs shrimp and 2lbs crawfish, garlic noodles, grilled oysters and cajun fries which was the perfect amount of food for five people. We've tried both the sweet california and original lousiana and tbh they both kinda taste the same? Their sauce is definitely different than other cajun places, I think they add mayo?? A hole in the wall restaurant so don't have high expectation when it comes to the service however the food is worth coming for! Totally forgot to take a picture of the before but here's a pic of the demolishment we did xD read more

Cajun Bistro 7 - Vietnamese Near Me - San Jose, California

I was really looking forward to trying this place after seeing it on TikTok and per recommendation of a friend. I was definitely disappointed when coming here. We got the 3 - 40 lb combo shrimp, crawfish and mussels in the sweet California. The flavor was good at first but then it got too sweet. We also ordered the Parmesan garlic noodles which were not good. They were very oily and hardly any garlic. It seems like they used garlic powder rather than real garlic. We got the grilled oysters which were the STAR of the show. These were actually delicious. As another side, we also got the garlic bread (decent - probably frozen ones just reheated), fries (yummy) and the fried octopus (decent as well). This all took about 30 minutes for our food to come out. We had a party of 7 and this wasn't enough food so we ended up ordering another 3 - 40lb combo. This time it actually came with the other fix ins like corn and potatoes. We didn't realize that it was supposed to come with it so when we asked the workers just said we had to tell them before or they can't do anything about it. The second order was the original Louisiana but I didn't taste that much of a difference from the sweet California. It felt like it wasn't even a different flavor. Overall, the food was nothing special (besides the oysters, those were good!). With the disappointing flavor and service and long wait, I would go somewhere else unless I was looking for a place open late. read more

Absolutely hit the spot! We ordered the oysters and chicken wings, and both were packed with flavor. The oysters were fresh and beautifully topped -- savory, slightly garlicky, with a nice balance from the scallions and crunchy bits on top. Each bite felt indulgent without being overwhelming. The wings were just as good -- crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and coated in a sticky, flavorful glaze with bits of garlic that really brought everything together. Not overly greasy, and the flavor definitely lingered in the best way. Everything came out hot and well-presented, and you can tell care went into the preparation. This is the kind of food you crave again the next day. Will definitely be back for another round! read more

This is my family and I's go to spot for seafood boil, particularly with crawfish. I've tried several seafood boil restaurants around SJ and this is the one that's has stayed consistently good throughout the years. When it is fresh crawfish it's incredible, but even their frozen crawfish I haven't had too much trouble, unlike other restaurants where their frozen crawfish would be super soft and mushy. My go to flavor is there sweet california. I love the crawfish, shrimp, and mussel there. I usually get the combo that comes with corn, potato, and sausage. Along with that, I also enjoy getting the fried calamari, grilled oysters, and garlic noodles. My only issue is sometimes it's not mixed well so there are globs of what I think is mayonnaise or some other white sauce, but if you mix it yourself it should be fine. read more

Say what you want about this spot, but it does the job for me when I'm hungry past midnight and there's no other Asian cuisine option in the area (unless I'm in the mood for pho). The service is always great, I especially love the owner of the place, who always throws in extra if you come past 10 or 11 PM! The interior is quite small and no-frills, definitely not fine dining, but the food is affording (and most of the time) good! There are times where the Cajun boil we usually order tastes a little off, as the Sweet California sauce can be inconsistent. However, when it's good... it's GOOD! I definitely appreciate how late into the night they're open and how their customer service is always on point. Be sure to order their cajun boil with Sweet California sauce if you decide to go here! The garlic noodles and bap xao (or fried corn) are amazing as well! read more

Quality went down. Last time I came in I got the sweet California sauce medium spicy. This was the first time where the sauce was just straight chilli flakes. I never had this before.

This is my favorite go‑to spot every time I'm in town. You really can't find anything like it anywhere else, and that's exactly why I keep coming back. Sweet California is truly one of a kind, and I always recommend it to friends as a must‑try. My group usually orders the combo with shrimp, crawfish, hot links, corn, and potatoes -- the perfect mix in my opinion. Their grilled oysters and shaken beef are great shareable options too. Service is impressively fast considering how busy they always are. It's definitely a mom‑and‑pop shop, so don't expect fine dining -- just a family making really good food and doing it well.

When my daughter came back to visit from NY, she happened to crave for Cajun seafood, we went to Cajun Crack'n in Milpitas and this time my son recommended this restaurant that he likes after eating here with friends before. This one is in the VN shopping center, very crowded shopping center so it's very hard to find a parking spots even there are many. So, the restaurant is small, and the servers don't know how to be pleasant or attentive, if you need something you have to ask only when they want to see you even the aprons. I didn't have good feelings with this restaurant. The restaurant is typical VN family restaurants, just simple tables and chairs, not very airy. Like every cajun seafood restaurant, they have some combo for people to choose. One thing that disappointed my daughter was NO snow crab legs, only King Crab for $80/lb. I didn't care fore the seafood that much, there's no catfish fried for me so I ordered something to eat, beef cubes sauteed with linguine which so soggy and soft. I cook linguine better than this. There's not much on the menu for seafood that I really like. My daughter sadly ordered the combo $70 which didn't have much in it. If it's up to me I just get up and leave, go some places that have what you want but since my son recommended this so we stayed. We ordered some fried calamari and fries for appetizers, they're ok, nothing special, I could still taste the calamari seafood odor. The main course came, the sauce didn't look very good, but my wife and daughter said it was ok, not bad. My son seemed to enjoy it more. Anyhow, we decided that this restaurant is just for my son and his friends not for us. Never been in a restaurant and feeling so unhappy and unexcited like this one. read more

Cajun Bistro 7 is a local Vietnamese Cajun restaurant serving up a variety of Vietnamese dishes and Seafood Boil! Upon entering all tables are prepped for a seafood boil; tables equipped with gloves, heavy duty napkins, and plates. You're always given a plate of limes and sauce cups of salt and pepper. My table ordered two 3 lb combos with shrimp and crawfish. We also ordered sides of rice and garlic bread. Both boils were very good. Not the usual seafood boil you'd expect at Boiling Crab. The sauce was light in color but had lots of flavor. The Original Louisiana was more savory and, as the name implies, the Sweet California was more sweet. The sauces were so addicting. We dipped everything in it, the seafood, sausage, potato, and even the garlic bread. My only gripe is that it's so far and I don't get to take advantage of their late open time read more

I ordered crawfish with king crab, but when I got home I discovered they had given me mussels instead of the king crab. I drove all the way back to the restaurant to show them the incorrect order, but instead of correcting their mistake, they told me I would need to place and pay for a new order. They refused to replace the item they got wrong or take responsibility for the error. Extremely disappointing customer service and poor business practices. I will not be returning and would not recommend this restaurant. On top of that, the staff had a rude and dismissive attitude and showed no concern for the inconvenience they caused. read more
