    I want to gatekeep this place sooo bad! The price is way cheap! Big fresh crawfish! Friendly service and quick and free mini dessert. Crawfish combos don't come with potatoes only sausages and corn Get their garlic noodles, but I would skip the fries

    Salted fish rice wo salted fish tricky

    baked oysters, salted fish rice, combo #2. 150$ 3 people after tip. Lots of sugar in the combo crawfish, frozen corn, shrimp, sausage combo. no salted fish in salted fish rice. oysters were best. everything else you are better off making at home with better quality seafood.

    I visited on a late Tuesday afternoon, so the restaurant wasn't crowded--there were only two of us. We were warmly greeted right away when we entered the place. I deeply appreciated the honesty of the staff member (who may be the owner). She was totally straightforward and told us upfront they didn't have fresh crawfish that day. A bit disappointing, but honesty is so much better than a lie!We ended up ordering Combo 4, and oh my god, it was a huge amount of food that completely filled up two adults. Even though the crawfish were frozen, they were high quality (about 80% freshness, which was still great). The other seafood items, like the shrimp and mussels, were incredibly fresh. Their sauce is what really won me over--absolutely delicious and very savory.I added garlic bread to the order, but I do wish they offered a classic baguette so we could dip it and soak up all that amazing sauce! In the end, we paid a very reasonable price to satisfy our cravings without the hassle of going to the market, cooking, and cleaning up. I officially have a new go-to spot whenever a crawfish craving hits!

    Food 4/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 3/5 Its location in the same plaza as the Lee supermarket. Came here on a Friday, I was not busy and was able to get a table right away for 3. There's 1 server and she was very attentive. We ordered the combo 4 and the garlicky sauce was delicious, and medium heat was the perfect kick. Basil Thai clam was very good too. Garlic noodles were perfectly done. Very crispy fried calamari too. Pair well with beer, however, I wish there's a wine there since I can have beers.

    I've tried a lot of crawfish spots around San Jose like Claw Shack, The Crab Bay, Boiling Crab, and more but Crawfish LA is my favorite so far. The sauce is rich and thick, not watery like some other places, and it actually sticks to the crawfish instead of just pooling at the bottom. Also, their free dessert is such a nice touch and definitely a bonus after a good seafood feast. Overall, highly recommend if you're craving solid crawfish with great flavor and a little extra treat at the end.

    Crawfish LA is my new favorite late night seafood boil spot. They are open until 12AM every weeknight and until 2AM until weekdays. This is my second time coming here and the service is always great despite coming at 10:30 PM. The inside is pretty small but there's never any wait. I love how they also have tv's and music all night. We ordered the 3lb combo with their cajun mild sauce. Trust me when I say, their cajun sauce is something that I crave all the time. I love all of the garlic pieces and the amount of sauce they give you. The seafood is cooked to perfection and they clean it out really well too. The grilled oysters with green onion are priced really well ($20) for five pieces and come out tasty. Not fishy at all even though it was huge. I love the sauces that come with it. The food also comes out really quick (about 10-15 minutes). There aren't a lot of places open late at night so this will be in my rotation when I'm craving seafood boil at night. The service here is also friendly and fast! Highly recommend Crawfish LA!

    Cajun fries and garlic noodles
    Christina T.

    Formerly Truc Anh, Crawfish LA kept the same recipe for their food. The food has potential to be good but there's an issue with the consistency of the quality. Sometimes the flavors are yummy and satisfies seafood cravings, other days it's just meh. Definitely a hint or miss. I was beyond dissatisfied with a recent seafood boil order made for take out. Food was warm at most, not hot like it normally would be. The fries were floppy and sad. For almost $10, you would expect fries that are well seasoned. I also wished the fries were more crispy. Garlic noodles were okay, nothing impressive and could use more flavor but still good to pair with seafood items. Although crawfish is in the name of the restaurant, I think the crawfish isn't worth getting. Something about the crawfish with the house sauce tastes very lackluster. However, the shrimps are bigger and more delicious with the sauce. I do enjoy the house sauce as it contains a subtle hint of coconut which I find unique. Parking can be a little tricky at busier hours since it's located in a plaza with a bunch of other shops. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and cashier is friendly. Perhaps this establishment is more popular at night because there's usually nobody else inside when we come in to order and pick up.

    5.  Stir-Fried Crab Vermicelli /Miến Xào Cua

    Jealousy--I've only felt it once, and that was enough. It is ugly and eats you from the inside. It's different from trust, loyalty, and betrayal. Betrayal comes from lack of loyalty, which destroys trust. Jealousy comes when you feel inferior to someone else's beauty, attention, ability, or privilege. It happened years ago at Thanksgiving in our new home. I sensed betrayal and suddenly felt envy toward someone younger, maybe more beautiful, receiving attention I thought belonged to me. Rage filled my heart, and I vowed never to let envy consume me again. Last night at Crawfish LA, I watched jealousy rise out of someone else. Now that I'm older and wiser, I recognize deception and negative energy instantly. We had just come out of mass at SMG in San Jose. My old sedan couldn't fit eight kids, so we walked across the street for food. The boys ran, the little girls skipped, and I followed behind with my green folder like a schoolteacher. The crosswalk lights counted down, but the moment was too beautiful to hurry. At the restaurant, I asked the cashier if the kids could use the space for an activity before the food arrived. The credit union had given out crayons and turkey pictures, so I hosted a coloring contest. The prize was $10. Everly and Allen won fair and square. The first plate brought out was French fries with a little calamari. The boys kept their sweet potato fries to themselves. I told them no eating until we prayed. They dropped their pencils and fries and erupted into "Kinh Mừng Maria," the Vietnamese Hail Mary. Our food came--vermicelli with crab, baked oysters, and Combo #2 (shrimp and crawfish). I paid extra for ten sausages but received only thin slices. The oysters lacked butter or scallion oil, but the cook redeemed themselves with free garlic noodles. The family is too kind to give a bad review. This place used to be Trúc Anh, my favorite crawfish spot before a driver crashed into the storefront, forcing it to close. When it reopened in September 2025, I was excited to return. The manager had once told me the secret to their seasoning was fresh orange juice. As fellow Catholics, I believed him. I've used the same ingredients at home--it's salty but delicious. The kids weren't allowed to touch Combo #2 until they finished coloring and revoting for officers of God's Tears. With gloves on, Dustin nominated himself for Treasurer. Simon became Vice President. The tightest race was between brothers Aaron (13) and Louis (9). This was our third election. After a close vote, Louis won President. He had even written a speech, but Aaron accused him of using AI. I saw Aaron's face turn red with anger and hurt as he glared at the kids who didn't vote for him. He even accused me, though it was a secret ballot. But energy does not lie--the girls had voted for someone closer to their age. On the drive home, Aaron slumped over. I dropped him and Louis off first because betrayal had defeated him. Jealousy drained his spirit. He couldn't pretend to be okay. Thinking back to Thanksgiving 2019, that girl wasn't more beautiful. What I envied was youth and innocence. Earlier that year, I had endured isolation and betrayal that shattered my confidence. Now I understand that time--not money, beauty, or status--is what I value. There's no need for jealousy when you become the best version of yourself. Aaron can take this moment to rebuild. He can learn to speak kindly and clearly, and run again next year. Both brothers are intelligent, creative, hardworking, and capable. They share the same DNA, but respect must be earned. Time on earth is limited. Death--of innocence, relationships, or life itself--can make you jealous of the living. Boys and girls, let's not be jealous.

    Late night cajun seafood and Stir-fried crab vermicelli
    Khoa T.

    This is the spot for a late night cajun seafood . We ordered medium House Special Sauce, and it was just right. The seafood was fresh and juicy. I liked that they added lots of minced garlic into the sauce. Can you imagine the smell of cajun spices, garlic, and butter in a cold December night?! Come and see for yourself. The crab vermicelli was delicious as well. It went surprisingly well with the cajun seafood. Good customer service and very friendly staffs. Definitely recommend for friends and family.

    Large, flavorful crawfish and shrimp! The garlic noodles were yummy and buttery! Even the texture of their rice was on point! On top of all that, service was so kind and super attentive :)

They're also very generous with the portions and often give us even more than we ask for, which we really appreciate. Tonight was another great experience. The owner was there and generously gave everyone free shrimp fried rice, which was such a kind gesture. Our waitress was also wonderful and constantly made sure everyone was doing okay. When we were ready to leave, he even packed our food to go for us without us having to ask. Crab Bay has great food, amazing portions, and most importantly, genuinely kind people who make you feel like a valued customer. We always enjoy coming here and will definitely continue to come back.

But using that same approach here, we were still very hungry afterward. Not only are the portions extremely small, but the flavors are inconsistent. The xào me was overly salty, while the rang muối ớt was surprisingly bland. On top of that, the presentation was top notched....... the portions are much smaller than what's shown in the photos, vegetables were stale, and there wasn't even any garlic included, despite it being clearly shown on the menu. The gỏi was okay. Will not return.
