Easy. Simple. Delicious. This is your traditional seafood place along Veterans serving up the good stuff. I ordered a plate that had 2 fish, oysters, and shrimp. I did the up charge for shrimp fried rice instead of regular fried rice. This was a call in order that was handled with care and speed! read more

Capitan Seafood Kitchen - Fried Swai NOT catfish. - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

Decent fish at a decent price. I'd recommend the Swai Filets or Catfish. I used to go to Captain Benny's a lot, but the fish is too bland for me and it's not what it used to be. Your food is prepared when ordered! This establishment is also diverse? What do I mean? Stop in and see for yourself and don't forget to try the Swai! read more

Great place for seafood I usually call in my food and pick it up on the way home from work. I always get the family pack number 1. It comes with fish, shrimp , fries and fried rice. It usually last two days with my family of 3. read more

Order 2 five pounds of crawfish yesterday and they were old frozen and I paid 8.99 a pound.

This place is good for reasonably priced fried seafood. My husband usually gets the fried shrimp and fried rice, along with some boudin balls. I get the fried shrimp po-boy with fries. Nothing stands out as spectacular, but for the price, I think the quality of the food is good. We'll be going back. read more

We tried this place for the first time last summer because my brother was visiting from out of town and this was a Yelp referral. It's about a 25-30min Drive from our house. WORTH IT. We've come back several times when we are on this side of town or just have a craving for seafood Hot, fresh and delicious food. Great Prices!! Pic attached was the 2pcs fillet tilapia and fried rice. Hubbs likes the 2pcs fish and fries. Kiddos like the shrimp and fires. Bro had the CajunViet crawfish with hush puppies (sorry I only got one pic, we ate the rest too quickly lol) we've also tried the Fried whole tilapia read more

Capitan Seafood Kitchen - 2pcs fillet tilapia with fried rice - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

I look forward to our Friday's splurge ... however it's just not what it used to be, and perhaps not even worth it. We called in our order, and was told it would be ready in 5-minutes. Really?!! We had to give him our name quickly before the order taker hanging up. Got to the restaurant in 7 minutes, only to be told "No order taken for Fred". So they preceded to put my order in again .....(No apology) ... I paid for my order and 30 minutes later, before leaving I asked the young lady emphatically who handed me my 3 takeouts.... did you put in ketchup, cocktail sauce, soy sauce, and tartar sauce? Well, guess what? No condiments to be found when we sat down at home to eat. "ONLY tartar sauce ". We called back and the woman who answered the phone readily said, I didn't take your order, so we were given to the other order taker (man). He didn't offer an apology, or offer any consolation of any type. Was told just to come back for condiments ... My husband said no, and asked for a discount of some type on our next visit.... he was flatly told "NO". HENCE the YELP review. We've been frequenting this establishment for at least 10+ years, and don't understand their downfall of missing the mark with customer service. (Does demographics come to mind?) We're tired of paying for inflated prices and getting deflated service each and every time. Patronage no more!! read more

The fried fish and shrimp is always on point at Captains. I have not had a bad experience yet.

The scrimp was large. Food came out hot. The gumbo was ok. Service was fast. I would come back and have more scrimp read more

The food here does what it's supposed to. I thought I had posted a 4 star review here already but I guess not lol. The service here is not the most friendly due to the rushing in the order. It gets slightly annoying sometimes but I have come to expect it. I have usually always liked the fish and shrimp or whatever I've gotten here but my last trip not so much. This was my first time requesting catfish particularly as I have tried to avoid certain fish types. I feel like the catfish I had was the worst fried catfish I have ever had. The shrimp and fries were subpar to what they've been in the past. I have had good fish here many times in the past so I can't put the review too low based on this one time. I usually wouldn't bring a place down for a 1 time meal but the fish was just bad. read more

Reminds me of home. The best shrimp ever. Boiled & Fried. The closest thing to New Orleans

Food is pretty and a decent value but make sure you check your order. Every time we go they get something wrong. This time I said extra cocktail sauce no tartar...I got NO cocktail EXTRA tartar. Similar screw ups before as well. read more

Great food for the price, portion size is good, super fast service, ambiance is good.

Good experience every time! The food there is amazing and affordable. Micheladas are bomb!

Delicious food and great service. Would definitely go again. Absolutely loved this place!!

Did you happen to just walk out of certain other crawfish places because they are too crowded and/or they want $8.99 for a lb of crawfish? Well I think I found a gold mine here. Last I inquired it was $5.99 a lb, that is not a typo folks, $5.99, you have penny?! You get to pick from spicy garlic or regular non spicy. The only drawback is I do not believe they purge their crawfish so you get that nasty mud taste one in every lb if you are that unlucky. They are pretty good size too, not gigantic but you won't be disappointed. Parking is ample, there are lots of businesses around and even though it's on an end cap there still is space around for parking comfort. Service, you will bump into one of the most nicest Asian couples that you have ever encountered. They have lots of patience judging by me sitting there eating and watching asking for everything from A to Z and then some constantly. You know what I wish they had in EVERY restaurant and I love here? A sink outside of the restrooms! You know what I am talking about, you wash your hands to turn around and find out some restrooms only have those hand dryers and you have to open the door with your hand or wait hopefully somebody from the other side is walking in. Big plus in my book plus you get to show off to everybody "Look, I'm only one of the 5% clientele that ever washes their hands in an eating establishment!" Another main special is the 30 medium count fried shrimp for $12. It is well worth it and served with your choice of fries or fried rice. There are many other goodies for your consuming pleasure here as well. The list goes on from fried fish, oysters, shrimp of course, po boys, boiled shrimp, boiled blue crab (the lady will tell you crap but she means crab) and much much more. Also and big plus is their tarter sauce! You would swear it's home made but I suspect they use a quality tarter sauce to begin with and add maybe an ingredient or two. Got dill? Prices here are very reasonable and you will be hard pressed to find anything cheaper. Cleanliness is above average for an Asian place. One tip I must let you know is that they do not have "cajun fries" even though all it is is regular fries with the cajun spice that is sitting right there on the table. "Yea you, pick me pick me, shake shake shake". They can easily add "cajun fries" on the menu, making an extra buck and just shake the spice in the back but I guess nobody has told them yet. read more

I went back and tried the crawfish and ordered spicy and got unseasoned. I'm highly disappointed and they probably lost a regular. I can't believe that spicy has absolutely no heat to it at all. Plus the hot wings were not hot at all. They had a sweetness that shouldn't be on a hot wing. Just mix hot sauce and butter. Don't mess up a classic with a sweet addition. I hope that they gave me someone else 4 pounds of crawfish. read more

This place has the best shrimp and sides hands down ! For a good price to! The rice is dry but with soy sauce you'll be ok !

I live in the greater greenspoint area, and I'm huge on seafood. I had seen this place so many times but never stopped in. My barber shop is on veterans too. With that being said my barber had mentioned this place and recommended it to me. Im a "Lotus" guy but he said the prices here were way better. I'm all about getting more bang for the buck. So tonight I stopped in and had dInner here. I ordered a pound of crawfish(spicy) and a number 11 which was 16 shrimp with fried rice. My seafood cravings were re satisfied today!!!! The crawfish was really good and the spice was amazing! The size could have been bigger but for the price I wasn't trippin cause the flavor made up for it. The fried shrimp was also really good. I give this joint 5 stars and I recommend everybody to check this place out read more

Capitan Seafood Kitchen - Grilled Shrimp and Fish Fillet - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

"Capitan"? Aye am ceritan that it is not a spelling mistake. It's just Spanish. But what does that have to do with a Cajun restaurant, you ask, especially one run by Asian workers? Marketing, I guess. Or, was it Spanish in quiz isn't one? (think pun) The menu lists a variety: Cajun, Vietnamese, Mexican, and good ol' Southern fried seafood ... and a beef po-boy. Crawfish is the main attraction here, at least the size of the sign would indicate that. But about half the menu is basic Cajun style. Perhaps the idea is to appeal to mixed dating/marriages of Cajun, Asian, and Mexican guys and gals. Or, this is how the American Melting Pot idea is evolving? Oddly (?), there is only one item on the menu offered "chargrilled": oysters on the half shell. C'mon, man! If you have the ability to char-grill, then offer fish and shrimp char-grilled. At the counter is some dry Cajun seasoning that you spoon on your food (it can go in Pho, if you like). I mixed it in tartar sauce, because it needed something. But, the cajun seasoning is high in salt. So, the additional salt to that in the main dish winds up making the food too salty. My order: - Fish taco: had too much mayo and two ring-finger-sized pieces. Although the fried fish was perfectly cooked and not visibly greasy, this was not a good value. - Fried shrimp (6): Shrimp were farm-raised, probably from southeast Asia. This was a fair value in quantity, but I just don't like the pseudo shrimp. But someone needs to eat those so that Gulf Shrimp can be priced higher at more upscale places. French Fries (oh, I forgot to add that country!) were actually superb. They are thin cut, not greasy, perfectly cooked, and tasty (no doubt from Idaho ... oh, I forgot to add that country!). The facility contains completely new everything (en todo, toute, tt c) in a contemporary decor. It is kept clean (at least after the 3 wks it's been open). read more

All I can say is yumm yumm yumm!!! Tried this place for dinner yesterday & I've found my new quick seafood fix place! #1: This place is spotless. I mean seriously...the floors, RR's, tables...everything spotless!! #2: Service was extremely quick & friendly. And this is even with us busting thru their doors 15 minutes before closing!! #3: When you hit the door the smell of freshly prepared seafood just hypnotizes you. It's just amazing!!! Like I wanted to jump over the counter & hop into the kitched to see what they use to season their food bc it just smelled soooo good. By the time we got home, our food was still piping hot! #4: The food taste even BETTER than the smell. All of our orders were freshley prepped. No fried rice that'd been sitting around all night. No shrimp left over from a large batch they made for last minute customers ahead of time so they could start cleaning up. No freezer burnt fish filets...all were on point! #5: Price, menu options & portions seal the deal. For $22 bucks we had: 1lb crawfish, 2 platters that included 2 fish filets, 6 shrimp & fries and 1 fish taco. The fish filets were huge, not 1 filet cut in half like I've seen some places do. They weren't stingy with the condiments either...again tho we were last minute customers ordering to go. They have TV's set up so you can catch the games & they also sell beer. I can't wait to go back and try their snow crab. The only change I'll make is ordering my crawfish or anything I get boiled spicier. This place allows you to control the heat level & I said "not too spicy". But now I know the food will not only have the heat I want, but it will be very flavorful too. read more

So this place's food is a hit or miss. I have been here many times and seems like for every 3rd trip I make here the food isn't as good as the other past times but obviously I continue to come here for a reason, right? Their menu is simple and tasty, they have several items on there to full fill the seafood lover; a mix of Asian, Cajun, and Mexican all in their fresh seafood. The prices is what really drives me to come here and the speedy service, a great place to bring the entire family! My fave items to have on the menu is their spicy and mild crawfish (when in season). It is fresh, nicely seasoned, and very succulent just the way I like it! Their family platters are very affordable and filling yet tasty. The shrimps are a decent size, the catfish is nice and large and the best part... The rice! With a considerable amount of shrimp. read more
