    This is one of my go- to crawfish places. I really like that I know the quality of what I'm getting. The crawfish is well marinated and not spicy at all upon my request. I not only love the crawfish, but the empanadas, rolls and magic rice are perfection. The dessert is also great. The one dish I'm not as fond of is the garlic noodles, mostly due to the higher spice level and texture of the noodles. The service is great. I've used the online and phone ordering systems and my order has always been timely and accurate. The restaurant is spacious and comfortable for dining in. Overall, a good place to satisfy that crawfish craving!

    That's a catfish and shrimp poboy - the fish fillet is bigger than the sandwich!

    I love how fast and easy it is to order through the app for pickup. It makes it very convenient and saves me money from using other food apps that overcharges. Service was quick once I got there to pickup, minimum wait time. I've eaten here and ordered to go several times and have loved the food up until this experience. I orders the seafood gumbo, surf and turf poboy (chose shrimp & catfish) w/seasoned fries, and 12 pcs wings spicy lemon pepper and 5 spicy basil. There was only edible items in the order, the gumbo and fries. - The poboy looked delicious, huge piece of fish fillet that was piping hot. After taking a bite, I had to wash it down with a glass of water because it was so salty! I took apart the poboy and tried to eat the shrimp- it was barely warm, not piping hot like the dish and throughly overcooked where it no longer tasted like shrimp. The fish was the salty part, like someone went extra heavy. I had to throw it away. - The fries that came with the poboy were good, no complaints on those. - The chicken wings, tasted like salty rubber, extra heavy on the seasoning and thoroughly overcooked. This was also thrown away. - Seafood gumbo seasoning was good- could definitely use less rice so I didn't feel like I was eating a bowl of rice with a spoonful of gumbo. I doubt I'll be coming back anytime soon. If I do, it'll be for something not fried.

    1lb shrimp with garlic and Cajun

    Super impressed by this place. I'm a boiling crab girlie through and through, I've tried other seafood boil places and this definitely beat boiling crab. You order first then get a table that has paper towels & a can for scraps already there. Water, limes, seasoning on the counter for you to grab! They also give you melted butter on the side. We ordered the crawfish pho and a pound of shrimp with the garlic butter and Cajun sauce. It looks like there's not that much sauce in the bag for the shrimp, but mannnnn you get a bang of flavor from the first bite. Unlike boiling crab where I feel like I'm dousing and re-dipping my shrimp back in the sauce for flavor. The crawfish pho was amazing to my surprise, the crawfish bits itself were very tasty and the soup had so much flavor. The noodles were meh tho, it was like noodles from those microwaveable pho you can buy at the store. I heard a lot of mixed reviews about this place but damn it was good and great hangover food too. We had pretty good service, staff was attentive and very helpful since it was our first time. Can't say too much about location since it was my first time in Houston. Parking is assigned to stores I believe. I'd recommend trying for yourself! And bring this to California!!!

    Garlic Noodles

    Finally a place my seafood loving friends and I can enjoy. While I don't eat seafood I enjoyed my Wing basket from LA Crawfish. The Service was quick and efficient. The atmosphere is laid back. The Spicy Garlic wings were delicious and the seasoned fries as well. My friends enjoyed the garlic noodles as well. Overall great experience.

    Got my crawfish fix right before going to Slander at LA Crawfish. I got their awesome garlic noodles and shared a pound of crawfish with garlic butter seasoning. The garlic noodles came with shrimp, sausage, and a puny little crawfish. The noodles were really thin, I would've preferred more thicker noodles to really take in the garlic flavor. The crawfish came out later, and they provided some better and cayenne as seasoning and dips. I didn't know what I was doing but I dipped the crawfish in both the butter and cayenne and it was pretty good. The crawfish was just really small since the season is basically over at this point. Overall this is a fairly decent crawfish spot. It's a nice option that's close by

    Sweet and sour fried crawfish
    Levette D.

    Miguel was amazing. Very helpful and welcoming. I ordered a to go meal and he exceeded my expectations by bringing my meal to the car. Now let's get down to the food. I ordered the garlic noodles, fried wings and crawfish. Starting from least favorite to the best was the crawfish tails in sweet and sour sauce. They were fried a bit too hard and were really small. But they made up for that with the garlic noodles and fried chicken which were equally delicious. This place deserves a 8 out of 10 and I would give them a 10 out of 10 for customer service.

    Tried out the Spicy Beef Pho! Pretty solid pho.

    I didn't get to take a pic or the cheesy crawfish rolls. Trust when I say I could come back solely for those. I still think about them to this day. Those rolls were so delicious and cheesy. The spicy beef pho was pretty solid. No complaints there. Our only issue was that the magic rice came out lukewarm. So I'm not sure if they just have a big batch sitting and didn't heat it up? Boiled shrimp also badass. Definitely worth a try.

    Cajun corn and andouille sausage 10/10
    Jose G.

    My coworker kept bugging me to go and try this place out. Today I gave in and I was not disappointed. We each had the gumbo, Cajun corn and Cajun andouille sausage. 10s all around. I thought they had plenty of flavor/seasoning but the perfect amount of spice. Too much sodium for me to eat here on a regular basis but I will definitely keep them in mind next time I need a flavor explosion.

    First stop in Houston! LA Crawfish for the win This should be your go to for good seafood. I ordered the seafood cheesy egg rolls and the crawfish fried rice and it was delicious. You order your food at the counter and then find a table. We went for dinner around 8:30 on a Sunday and it was a great experience. The cashier had a great personality and recommended both of my dishes. I was very pleased!

    Spicy beef pho  and crawfish fried rice
    Angie N.

    I like this restaurant chain. My favorite thing is the fried rice b/c it's flavorful and it's a lot for the price. I hadn't tried their pho before but I was surprised by how good it is. It's a little pricey for the size but the flavor makes up for it. The service was great. The restaurant is spacious but the restrooms needed attention.

    I live across the street. This spot hits a few seafood cravings for me. The garlic butter mussels, chicken wings, and crawfish pho. I'm working through the menu. Tonight I'm trying the Cajun Curry and added lemon pepper to my spicy garlic butter mussels. The mussels are fat and delicious. I usually get take out but it's an upbeat environment and fun to eat here. If you want a casual seafood spot, I recommend. Also, Miguel is super friendly and helpful. It's refreshing to have someone seem to care about their spot and good to chat with.

Both dishes were noticeably over salted. After finishing our meals, we waited an additional 15-20 minutes just to receive a dessert menu. Eventually, we decided not to wait any longer and went to Dessert Gallery down the street instead. While the atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant were excellent, the slow service and food issues negatively impacted the experience. Based on this visit, I would likely not return.

The place was like walking into the 50's, with the old school metal tables and ample linoleum. I LOVE Louisiana cooking, and it couldn't have been more authentic. The only problem I had with my shrimp gumbo is the bowl was too small (actually a filling portion) and loaded with succulent, tender shrimp. Yummmmm! The cornbread was sublime and dipping it in the gumbo was killer! John had a Po Boy and said it was heavenly. The fries were obviously fresh cut and perfect.

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16. They were tasty. I like Rouxpour and would return. My only negative is that their prices are a little on the high side in my opinion.
