This was an amazing event! So much food we all left stuffed! Wine was good although a bit slow coming it paired well with the meal. Sorry I couldn't eat the shrimp head as some did lol but it was good! Loved the beef and noodles all served family style so everyone took what they wanted and plenty to go around! Fresh colorful vegetables were crisp and fresh and meat tender. Thanks for this great event in the Costco shopping center with plenty of parking. Definitely a place to go for a great meal! read more

This is why I love being part of Yelp, because I would have never thought to try this restaurant on my own. Now I am a huge fan and will be bringing my whole family back for more. I loved all the appetizers, and the food we got to try. My favorites were the salt and pepper shrimp, poke, and spicy lamb. All the food was fantastic though. The wine was also very good. What a great event. I got to meet new Yelpers and have a fantastic evening. Thank you crawfish Asian cuisine! I will be back soon, especially the happy hour. And thank you Michael for another awesome event!!! read more

If there's no +1s, you know the event means business. I've been to crawfish a couple of times but I have to say I think everything I tried for the event was something I haven't ordered here! It's been a busy year for me so this was a treat. Got to hang with my Yelp fam for the first time in far too long. The poke appetizer almost didn't even make the picture I was so hungry in arrival. The shrimp was an experiment I went for. I tried Michael's recommendation of trying the whole thing. Shelled shrimp that are deep fried didn't quite work for me. The shell was cracking and flaking and not providing the best vessel of enjoying. Next up were the most monster sized oysters ever. I didn't hate them, didn't love them. I think for me oysters fare better in a more manageable spoon size. But we passed the rest to shell dad Scott to Mae sure they went to a good home. Everything after that was a 15/10. The shaking beef and spicy lamb dish were phenomenal and practically melted in your mouth. The garlic rice and garlic noodles are something you could bury me in with. I complaints. And even the bok choy had a nice lil flavor to it. The panacotta for dessert.... I could have probably eaten every single one they put out for our dinner session with no complaints. The staff was amazing, shoutout to Hennessy and the rest of the gang that made sure we were well taken care of. Massive thanks to Chef Ken for treating us like royalty. And big thanks to Michael T. For showing us some of his greatest hits at Crawfish and also smashing another 5 star event read more

I have never been to Crawfish so I wasn't sure what to expect. This is such a cute little restaurant owned and ran by the chief. The food here is absolutely amazing! Everything was cooked to perfection! The ahi and shrimp were full of flavor. The oysters melt in your mouth. The rice was packed with flavor. The spicy Lamb was phenomenal. The noodles were beyond. I will definitely be back for happy hour and for a meal with the family. Thanks for organizing such an incredible event! I have a feeling that this will be one of my new favorite go to's. read more

Wow, thanks again to Michael T and the team (welcome, Emma W!) for these always thoughtful, always amazing experiences! And thank you to Crawfish Asian Cuisine's owner and staff for their warmth and generosity! From the name of the restaurant, I would have expected a seafood boil, but instead we received a wide array of (very generously portioned) Chinese and Asian food. Everyone at the table was amazed at the size and tenderness of the oysters, the crispy, thin skin of the shrimp, and the tenderness of the wagyu--not to mention the super yummy garlic noodles! There was actually a lot more, too. And delicious wine pairings! And dessert! Plenty of food to take home, along with cool Yelp chopsticks and a wine charm. What a special evening. It was really fun to meet new Yelpers, and our table had a great time swapping recommendations (and sharing which family members we most looked like). Pretty sure Reno has the best Yelp Elite experiences, hands down! read more

I always love sitting at a mystery table, but tonite it was sit anywhere. I knew my new friend Aileen was going to be there so I was hoping to find her and I did! My table was fantastic and I love meeting new people! Lynn, Methinee, Kelly, Jenn. The service was superb and a big thank you to Hennessy for keeping the wine flowing. All the wines were delicious so kudos to Anna for pairing the meal! Thank you to the owner and the staff for the wonderful meal and outstanding services and for Michael T coordinating a fantastic location and for my yelp invite! I've never been to a yelp event I didn't like, they are all top notch and first class!! I had never been to this restaurant before! It was easy to find and plenty of parking near the Reno Costco! I love shrimp but I do have a food allergy to nuts so I popped my Benadryl and carried on by removing the skin from the shrimp. The shrimp were cooked to perfection!! I really enjoyed the fried won ton chips with the raw fish, very tasty not sure what I was eating but I would definitely have it again!!! I love wine!! The Daou Sauvignon Blanc was delicious and it paired perfectly with the steamed oysters. I had to ask for another taste because it pairs brilliantly with my second oyster!! The oyster was huge and the sauce was delightful!!! The fried flounder paired perfectly with the Daou Rose and the vegetables were light & crispy!! My next favorite was the shaking beef so tender and loads of goodness!! The noodles and rice were perfectly prepared with tasty flavors. I'm not big on lamb, but my husband would have loved it and I took a piece home for him!!! Thank you for the care packages!! I've had the Hahn wines before and they're always a favorite!! The mango desert just melted in my mouth and what a great ending to the perfect dinner party!! Thank you all!! Look forward to the next yelp event!! read more

Crawfish Asian Cuisine Wine Dinner NEXT LEVEL ELITE.Where do I even begin? Let's start with the wine. Sommelier Anna is an absolute legend! I learned a new trick tonight: keep your mouth open when smelling the wine. New level unlocked! And my favorite, DAOU Rosé, was one of the selections pure heaven in a glass. Now, the food. I will be dreaming about those massive oysters. The poke was incredibly flavorful, and somehow every dish just kept getting better and better. Each course was thoughtful, beautifully executed, and packed with flavor. Our host and owner the heart he pours into sharing his family's recipes with our community is everything The team provided impeccable service, and my dining companions were top-notch, making an already incredible evening even better. This was truly an exceptional dining experience. Michael you've done it again I can't wait to come back. Is today too soon? read more

Dinner Party!! It was a fantastic Yelp Elite night at Crawfish Asian Cuisine. We were definitely treated as VIPs the whole evening. The set menu had incredible courses with wine pairings from Anna, the sommelier. Course 1--Comprised of ahi tuna poké with crispy wontons (great flavors and fresh tuna), salt+pepper shrimp (loved the crispiness and so tasty) and steamed oysters. This is only the second time I've ever had oysters---they were tender and I especially loved the soy, ginger and scallion sauce. The wine pairing with Daou Sauvignon Blanc was excellent. Course 2--The flounder with XO sauce was my favorite of the night. The flounder was perfectly coated and stir fried with onions, red and green bell peppers and the XO sauce had the best flavor!! Fantastic fish. The wine pairing of Daou Rosé was excellent. Course 3--Wagyu Shaking Beef with garlic noodles and Spicy Lamb with garlic rice, served with delicious veggies...peas and bok choy. These two dishes were also incredible and delicious. The flavors of the shaking beef was savory in combination with the delectable garlic noodles made it comfort food. I also found the same feeling of comfort food with the spicy lamb (which happily was not too spicy at all!) which had hints of a sweet and sour sauce vibe. Subtle and savory too. The lamb was mild and tender and did not have a strong overpowering lamb flavor, which made it more appealing. Interestingly, the green and red bell peppers and onions were included 2 of the dishes. Fan favorite--our whole table loved the garlic rice! The Hahn Cabernet Sauvignon was also an excellent pairing and complimented the food deliciously. Course 4-The Coconut Panna Cotta with Mango Pureé was the best restaurant dessert I've had all summer. It was light, just right in sweetness, delicate and very satisfying as an end to the dinner. I loved the family-style service of the courses. Each dish was beautifully plated and portions were generous. Our table had great discussions of each dish presented. The staff was very efficient and kind in serving all of the courses. They were busy the entire time making sure serving 50 elites that took up all of the seats in the restaurant were all attended to. Thank you to this special team that made this wonderful event happen...Chef/Owner Ken truly demonstrated his culinary talents and was a wonderful host, Sommelier Anna gave enlightening descriptions of the wines and a huge thank you to Michael, who is the best Yelp CM! Thank you all for a very special night full of camaraderie and delicious food! We'll be back! And we've recently been to Chef Ken's new restaurant 4 Seasons and we loved the food there too! read more

The appearance inside and out is that of a typical unassuming Asian restaurant. Which I liked. It was a comfortable feel inside. As soon as I read the preset menu I knew we would be in for a treat. Everything sounded so amazing. My favorite dish of the night was the garlic noodles, it is something so simple but it was done so well. Everything else was also delicious, although as my preference I do not like the shell being left on the shrimp. read more

I had the opportunity to attend a Yelp Dinner Party at Crawfish Asian Cuisine, and this place genuinely impressed me! It's a small, intimate restaurant with a clean, modern atmosphere. Every dish was beautifully presented, and the food lived up to the presentation. We started with the ahi tuna poke, salt and pepper shrimp, and steamed oyster. The poke was incredible--soft, delicate, and not overly fishy. The sesame oil and crispy wonton chips brought everything together beautifully. Even my wife, who is hesitant about raw fish, loved it. Favorite of the night! The salt and pepper shrimp were crispy and delicious. They could have used a little more seasoning and were slightly dry, but still very enjoyable. The steamed oyster looked intimidating but ended up being one of the evening's biggest surprises. The ginger, scallions, and light soy complemented it perfectly. I could easily come back, order four of these, and enjoy them with a cold beer. The flounder with XO sauce was a true gem. It was lightly breaded, delicate, and didn't have a heavy fish taste. It absorbed the peppers, scallions, and savory sauce beautifully, while the firm vegetables added great contrast. The DAOU rosé pairing helped cut through the richness and refreshed the palate. The Wagyu shaking beef was another standout. The beef was extremely tender and perfectly seasoned, but the crisp vegetables nearly stole the show. The garlic noodles were also excellent--thick, chewy, and coated in a light garlic sauce without being too heavy. The spicy lamb was delicious and incredibly tender. My wife normally does not care for lamb, yet even she said she would order it again. It does have that distinct lamb flavor, so it's definitely for people who enjoy lamb. The crisp green peas served alongside it helped break up the richness. One of my biggest recommendations: order some vegetable dishes for the table. You'll thank me later. We finished with the coconut panna cotta and mango purée. It was light, flavorful, refreshing, and the perfect ending to a rich meal. I would absolutely return. It's upscale enough for a nice dinner without feeling overly formal and would be a great place to bring visiting friends or family. There were plenty of hits throughout the evening, and everyone at our table left happy. Won't regret checking it out. read more

What an incredible event! Michael and the Crawfish Asian Cuisine team put so much hard work and passion into creating this wonderful experience. I haven't been able to stop talking about how delicious the food was, and I've already made happy hour plans to come back and share this exciting and delicious restaurant with friends and family! Starting with the appetizer, I don't think I've ever had a more flavorful and tender bite of ahi tuna in my life. I had a fun first, too! I'm so glad our table was open to trying the shrimp from head to tail--it did not disappoint. As a lover of garlic, I was thrilled that every dish was packed with a generous amount of it. I especially enjoyed the garlic fried rice and garlic noodles paired with the Wagyu Shaking Beef. Everything was incredibly flavorful, and you could really taste the care and effort that went into each dish. read more

This was a wonderfully orchestrated evening. From the start the space (which I had never been too) was cute, intimate and well setup. The first course of poke, oysters, and prawns was lovely and honesty the poke stole the show for me. It was well flavored and fresh and a highlight. I'll be honest I'm not a fan of cooked oysters but the portion was huge and the flavor of lemon grass and ginger was very tasty. The wagyu shaking beef and fried rice were really well done with savory flavors and cooked to perfection. Overall this was such a lovely event and I look forward to coming back to try new and tasty dishes from this neat spot! read more

Wow! What a spectacular event! This wasn't my first time visiting Crawfish Asian Cuisine as in the past I have had their seafood boil and garlic noodles. Everything was pretty impressive and filling. When we first got the appetizers I was so excited for this menu. Their poke was honestly one of the best poke I ever tasted with their poke in the marinade sauce and wonton chips. The salt and pepper prawns were a pretty good size and it was so savory. Lastly the oysters were humongous! Really liked the soy sauce with the oysters. With the entrees my favorite was the flounder as it gave a little crunch and the garlic noodles have always been a favorite of mines. Everything was delicious and appetizing. Thank you Yelp and Michael for another amazing Yelp event and bringing more awareness to different restaurants in Reno. read more

Another absolutely incredible Yelp Dinner Party! Thank you to Michael, Crawfish Asian Cuisine, and Yelp for making another insane dinner party a possibility! Upon arriving, I was surprised to be greeted with such a nice atmosphere for a strip mall restaurant. Good vibes and a very clean space. Us Yelpers really packed the house for this one! This place has every seat in the house taken for this event. The appetizers were a great start. The highlight for me was the poke. The marinade on it was so incredibly flavorful. The tuna tasted very fresh. The entrees were all amazing. I was especially impressed by the shaking beef and the flounder. I would order both dishes again. The shaking beef was out of this world tender and so well spiced. The massive amount of fresh vegetables accompanying each dish was also scrumptious and tender. I really enjoyed the bell pepper, and I don't usually love bell pepper all that much. The sides were also all amazing. The garlic noodles and garlic fried rice had so much garlic flavor. Crawfish does not skimp out on flavor! Everything was packed with spices and fresh ingredients. Yum! Overall, an absolutely incredible meal, and I am so grateful to have attended this event. Thank you again to the entire team at Crawfish Asian Cuisine, Michael, and Yelp for hosting another outstanding Yelp Dinner Party! read more

This was my first Yelp Elite event and I'm glad it was at one of my favorite restaurants! Each table was served family-style, with generous portions. The wine pairings were a great addition, with a Level 3 sommelier describing each pour and explaining how it paired with the courses. Everything was delicious, but the main standouts for me were: The Steamed Oyster refreshing soy-based sauc and garnishes. The Stir-fried Flounder with the amazing XO Sauce The Wagyu Shaking Beef with the black pepper sauce. Probably my favorite my protein of the night. And, of course, the garlic noodles are always delicious. Overall, this was a fantastic first Yelp Elite experience. Great food, well-matched wine pairings and a fun group of fellow Elites made for a memorable evening. Thank you Michael and Ken for putting on a great event! read more

What a fun Yelp event! I love sitting at a large table with friends and new friend Yelpers! Tonight I met new Yelp Elites Lynn and Mannet. I sat next to my new Yelp friend Diane and my posse Kelly and Jen. We shared fantastic food, wine and shared our favorite places to eat in Reno/Sparks area! I heard a few new places that I'm looking forward to trying! So much yummy food! My favorite was the Wagu Beef with veggies. The sauce was amazing! So flavorful! The Snap peas melted in my mouth! Delicious! The Trout with veggies was surprisingly delicious I would definitely eat that again next time I Visit! I've drove by this place so many times and I can't believe I've finally tried it!

I have slept on this place, and I regret it now. Wow, what a great night. Double Wow at all the great food!!! The folks here at Crawfish Asian Cuisine pulled out all the stops. I had heard about them for years, but never stopped by. But it will certainly not be terribly long before I come back. This is certainly not the kind of Chinese food you might be thinking of. This is some high quality fare and unique fishes just bursting with flavor. And learning about the business, about their history, their happy hour, their pioneering wine pairings, and so on, all of it was just so fantastic. Starting off with appetizers and white wine, we had some delicious poke, and some delightful steamed oysters, but the real star of the show were salt and pepper shrimp. These are addictive, and I am definitely gonna need to get me some more soon. The main courses included some quite excellent spicy lamb, and wagyu beef stir fries. But for me, the real star was the fried flounder, and especially the garlic noodles. These latter two are like, just so perfectly up my alley, I am going to need to get some plates of it all for myself, sometime. Polish off the evening with some delightful dessert, and paired with good wine throughout, and you can call this a real smashing dinner party. This event really highlights why these Yelp Elite events are so great. So many people in our party had never been here before, and it gives us all an opportunity to try something that has flown under our radar. I know this has left a strong impression, and I will absolutely be returning here, too. And finally major thanks go out to the owners and staff for hosting us all. As well as thanks to Michael T. and the rest of the amazing Yelp crew. Always looking forward to the next event. Cheers, all! read more

By far one of the best events we've gone to! A lot of first time items for me. What a complete and total surprise this place was! I tried the salt and pepper shrimp which was my least favorite because of the hard bits to chew through. I tried the steamed oysters and was brave enough to take two bites and sips of sauce in the shell. Absolutely incredible! It reminded me of the texture of tofu or mushrooms. The flounder with the XO sauce was delicious. It needs to be a bit more crispy for me. It was borderline a texture issue because of how soft the fish was combined with the sauce. The fried garlic rice and noodles (oh my goodness! ) I'll be thinking about those for sure until I have them again very soon. This is truly incredible place. The staff are very nice and hard working and beautiful interior! Ignore the boring shopping plaza esthetic, this place is NOT boring! They have flavor! And their chili oil (asked for separately) is different from any other place I've tried, not light your forehead on fire hot at all, but perfect boost of flavor. The sommelier who helped with the wine pairings this evening was excellent and very knowledgeable in terms of the wine flavors mixing well with the Asian flavors. Just phenomenal! I even have a new favorite wine and surprisingly it isn't red, it's white. The first glass we were served (see menu) was perfect for the Ahi Tuna poke with wonton chips (pro tip, put chili oil on a bit of each bite. First time trying the waygu beef with garlic noodles and then lamb with garlic rice...oh-my-god!!! I need it! I need more immediately! After I stop being "hating life" full.... the only thing I didn't try was the bok choy, my friend said I wasn't missing anything. It was very plain, and there wasn't much of a point to serving it plus I'm not too much of a fan of bok choy. The panna cotta with mango puree, coconut and strawberries oh... my...god!! Smooth, silky, creamy, and decadent yes x3 okay! I am so happy and grateful for this event. Thank you to all who made it happen! I had such a great time and we even made a new friend! read more

First and foremost- thank you to Ken, the entire staff at Crawfish Asian and to Michael for setting up such an incredible event! We got to sit with a lovely couple and had some amazing conversations getting to know about them, it's always amazing getting to know more of our Yelp Elite community! Now onto the food- the tuna was incredible, with just the right amount of sweet and salty and the wonton chips were the perfect pairing. The salt and pepper shrimp was really well flavored! But I have a hard time with eating the whole shrimp, so my table mate got to get an extra so no one was complaining. The flounder was not what I pictured when looking at the menu but it was phenomenal and I'm so glad they included it because I probably would have never ordered it just going in. Then came my two personal favorite dishes! The noddles with with wagyu beef and the garlic rice with the lamb. I'm not a huge lamb person but this was incredible! The rice was some of the best rice I've ever had. That with all the wine pairings was such a wonderful dinner. The mango panna cotta was an amazing end to the night and absolutely delicious. I can't believe I've never been here with how long it's been open, but I'll be telling everyone about it and I'll definitely be back. Thank you again to everyone who set up this event! read more

Never felt so pampered as our evening out last night! So. I've been to this place before for a crab boil. It was fun but not really my thing. And this was probably 9 years ago at least. I've seen that this place comes up when searching for Chinese but never believed it would be as good as this! Not just Chinese. It's over the top, curated chef Chinese! Portions were large and all so tasty. We were worried about the spice and my allergies but truly neither of us had a problem. From the excellent poke, shrimp and oysters to the flounder, wagyu beef and lamb (!) we were enthralled with flavor at every dish! Many sides like noodles, green beans, bok choy and rice. So many we could not eat it all. We would have if our tummies were big enough! Plus the wine pairings. Three wines. We were treated RIGHT! I can not decide what I will have with my oysters when I come back, the three entrees were wonderful. We will come explore more of the menu. Only thing I would hope for if in this type of scenario again is that each entree should look different, the veggies and sauces were excellent but too similar looking on the plate. The coconut panne cotta with mango was the perfect finish to this meal. Well done! We thank you One and all for pampering us and expelling that old memory that there was only the boil available. Not true. Here we found the most excellent Chinese we've ever had. read more

Don't let the name fool you, there is a menu full of tasty items including crawfish. We had delicious food with perfect wine pairings!!! Our evening started a bit slow but made up for it once we got started. We were given individual servings of the shrimp-heads and tails included!!, poke, and dessert but the rest of our meal was served family style. Everything we were served was delicious!!! Especially when we waited for our wine. As the food was being delivered Anna would describe the wine she paired with each course. Both Daou wines were light and perfectly match with the heat levels of our meals. Our 2nd course was flounder, it was fried but not full of batter, it was tender and mellow. The 3rd course was beef and lamb. The spicy lamb had the perfect amount of spice and the Hahn Cabernet was just right. All in all a fun night with old and new yelp friends. read more

Wow... That is the only way to describe this event. This again somehow takes the top spot as one of my favorite Yelp events of all time. I can't remember the last time I have left an event this full, and not only full but a bit....... Inebriated,"? The wine pairings were great and the staff played no games with keeping those drinks topped off. My absolute favorite dish by far was the Flounder, followed by the awesome Ahi Tuna Poke. The steamed oysters were also incredible, was no expecting those to be so incredibly tender and flavorful. The wagyu beef was great, the spicy lamb was great.... The dessert was great. All in all, I'm totally blown away and I absolutely will be trying to convince anyone I can to give this place a try... Great job to everyone involved in giving us this awesome experience. read more

And the ahi tuna poke was seriously one of the best I've ever had--so fresh, flavorful, and delicious!

Another absolutely amazing event!! The food was really the star of the show today, and I cannot wait to come back on my own to try out their lunch or happy hour. I love that I got to try so many new things, including steamed oysters. For someone that has never liked oysters, this really was a great discovery for me and I even wished I could have gotten seconds. The other standout dishes were the garlic buttered noodles, the spicy lamb and the wagyu but honestly there wasn't one item I didn't enjoy. The place itself is small, and it did get hot by the end of the event with the amount of people that were there. The staff was wonderful and working hard all night.

Pro's: Off-the-charts hospitality and generosity for this event. Con's: None Go back?: Yes! More... What has always stood out to me about Crawfish Asian is their wine selection. You don't often see fine wines at an Asian restaurant. This event showcased Daou and Hahn wines and they paired excellently with the courses. Anna did a great job bringing discussion of wine "down to earth" and gave informative and simple tips for enjoying fine wines with food. The upscale wine list adds to the ambience of this restaurant. That may sound weird but, outside of having white tablecloths, this is Asian fine dining on par with Chi at the Peppermill. It is clean, classy, and pleasing to the eye inside. Chef/Owner Ken generously treated us to a lovely evening that was a palate buster! I went out of my comfort zone and ate the entire shrimp, head and all. I also ate an oyster, which are not an item I typically enjoy, but this one was delicious. All you oyster lovers out there are going to be very happy! Something as simple-sounding as garlic noodles were delicious with the Wagyu Shaking Beef - I'll go back for that. Heck...I'll go back for anything! I don't know how this restaurant got off my radar because I have been there twice in recent years, but it has leveled up to the top of my list for Asian food. Ken and staff, thank you BEYOND, for a wonderful evening. Your delicious food was the catalyst for conversations that have led to first-friendships. Thanks again! read more

This event was great! I've never been here before so it was great to see what other menu items they feature besides crawfish. Every item was unique, flavorful and perfect for a wine pairing. Thanks to, Ken, the owner for having us. Ana, the sommelier, and of course Michael for getting us into this awesome spot. We started the evening a bit later than planned. The first course was ahi poke with wonton chips, salt and pepper shrimp and steamed oysters. If you are adventurous, like myself, you ate the whole shrimp, peel, head and all! So crispy, delicious and reminded me of soft shell crab. I could honestly eat an entire plate of their ahi poke too. I'm usually not a big fan of cooked oysters, but the steaming was a different experience I haven't had before. And the oysters were huge ! Second and third was the flounder which I found very tasty. Not too breaded where you could still taste the delicate fish. The wagyu shaking beef was nice and tender. The garlic noodles that were served with it were my favorite. Overly garlicky which paired so well with the Wagyu. The lamb was also a pleasant surprise. I have never tried lamb prepared this way and it wasn't too spicy. The fried rice was light and fluffy. To end the night, the coconut pana cotta with mango purée was like a palette cleanser. Not too heavy or sweet Overall a successful night as an elite ! read more

This was such a fun night. I was surprised by all of the offerings at the restaurant, definitely not just crawfish. My favorite appetizer was the poke and I loved how we ate it with the chips. I was also surprised how good the trout was because I really don't consider myself a fish person. I loved all of the v those that went with everything and they had the best lamb Id ever had. It was a lot of fun learning about different wines too, my favorite of the night was the Rosè.

This dinner was absolutely delicious. The wine pairings were phenomenal. The poke had a rich flavor that paired well with the crispy wonton crispy chips, I was obsessed. The shrimp, which I ate whole, was crispy and flavorful! The flounder with XO sauce was wow! SO GOOD! Definitely need to have that again. I'm not a big lamb person but the spicy lamb had a mild meat flavor and a big house chili sauce taste that was delicious and not spicy at all. The panna cotta was light and refreshing, it was a perfect way to wrap up the dinner without being too heavy. 10/10 experience! Excited to come back for their happy hour and also dinner. read more

A couple of my favorite were the gigantic salt and pepper shrimp and the even more ginormous tender steamed oyster. It was amazing to see how large the seafood was and how generous the portions were. The flavors of each dish complimented each other and the wines enhanced them. I especially enjoyed the spicy lamb paired with Hahn Cabernet Sauvignon. Once again this was an amazing Yelp event.

My favorite was definitely the flounder, perfect texture, amazing flavor that didn't feel overpowering. The noodles that went along with the beef were also absolutely amazing. There wasnt an item tonight that I tried that I didn't like! This is my area of town so I'm super excited to try their other items and did I hear them say Happy hour?! My favorite Shout out to all the amazing people who helped put this together tonight! read more

Never even knew this place existed--so glad to discover it thanks to this Yelp event! Such an incredibly generous menu--everything was very flavorful, and I tried things I'd never had before (like the spicy lamb and eating the whole shrimp). The oysters were gigantic. I don't think I'll ever forget this meal. And the staff and owner were super sweet and attentive--really had a great time. Many thanks to Yelp, and Michael T., and the Crawfish team for creating another fantastic evening out for the Yelp Elite community. read more

Amazing event, Amazing food, and amazing service. All the sampling of food was very good. The garlic noodles were my favorite, although everything was very good. The rice was a nice consistency and flavorful. The oysters were big and the sauce served on them was yummy. There are more items on the menu that I want to try so I will be back. read more

Wow, Wow Wow !!! What can I say? This was an amazing event. I have been to quite a few events and I think this one takes my number one spot of events. It was such an amazing event, such amazing food really good wine really good company and I can't stress enough how good the food was Shout out to Chef Ken and his amazing staff for such an amazing incredible night of food and wine & presentation. Not one dish was bad. From the flounder which usually I'm not a fan of was delicious the Wagyu beef was amazing and tender. The garlic noodles were so good and some of the Best Garlic fried rice I've ever had. Everything paired with the wines was so perfect. I've driven past this place so many times and just never had a chance to check it out and it's events like this that Michael puts on to get the community to see these restaurants and try them out. Thank you to him for putting on such an amazing event. I give it 10 stars. I recommend every dish that was on that menu. Enjoy !!!! read more
