Their crawfish sucks...it's soooooo gooey. Not recommended if you want to come here for crawfish. The crawfish pho is ok. read more

Visit 1: First time there, was so impressed with their seasoning in crayfish. Took all three seasonings, liked the 'hot and sour' the best. Extra spicy was little too spicy for me, next time I will go for regular spicy. It was late May, end of season. So crays were small but still so flavorful. We ordered snow crab - so GOOD and reasonable price and quite a few claws. Also fried oysters are Yummylicous! 4/5 experience. Visit 2: Went back again after a week. June 1st week. Omg! Got some nasty blackish crawfish with a funky smell...totally didn't taste fresh. There was a big ass nasty blonde hair in our crawfish (we complained, they gave a new batch). Overall it was such a bad visit!! We were expecting so much after the last visit. King crab - expensive - so little meat - good flavor though. 1/5 BAD! Don't know how I feel about this place anymore! Torn! read more

Casual place where you order at counter but they have some delicious crawfish pho! The price is very reasonable and they serve a large amount. The pho is spicy with Cajun seasoning and sausage and crawfish. Definitely worth a try if you enjoy pho and crawfish! read more

My absolute favorite place to get crawfish from. Their flavors are delicious. The crawfish are big and their sides are delicious too!

Before you judge me for giving them only a star, hear me out. I been to the original joint located in 99 ranch before, loved it. However this location is a whole other story - save your money, go somewhere else. The service is seriously lacking, the crawfish (not fresh, super tiny, no flavor), shrimp (overly cooked and extremely rubbery) We came on a Sunday night, the line was super long but I didn't mind. We were offered to sit at a 2 top with an additional chair (we had 3) - whatever, I could careless. However when we were taken to our table another one opened up (a four top) and I requested if we could sit there instead, the waiter said okay and we sat down. From the time we sat down, went up to the counter and ordered, another staff member gave us the most frustration face and told us to move. Um okay, fine, we moved. - There's serious communication issue between the staff and the frustration among them was so apparent it put a damper on our mood. Once the food came out it was honestly the worst crawfish I had in Houston, lacked in flavor, half of them were inedible, and the shrimp was rubbery & extremely overcooked. To sum it up = will I come here again? NO. Excuse my negative review but I am just being honest. #SorryNotSorry read more

Came by on a Saturday night with a group of four. There was a line out the door. We waited probably 45 minutes. They do ask how many are in your group before you order to ensure that you get a table to sit before you place your order. There is a sauce bar setup next to the cash register. Sauces include ranch and ketchup. Condiments include Cajun seasoning and salt and pepper. FOOD: - CRAWFISH ($6.99/pound): My significant other ordered 1 pound of cajun (medium) flavor crawfish and 1 pound of garlic butter flavor crawfish. He was disappointed with the crawfish. He says that the crawfish was not fresh and that the crawfish color was dark meaning that it's been dead for a while. I tried it and I didn't think it was anything to memorable. - SNOW CRAB LEGS ($15.99/pound): He also ordered the snow crab legs in cajun flavor. The snow crab legs were more promising. The meat was juicy and flavorful and definitely more than the crawfish. - Wings (12 count for $9.99): I ordered the spicy lemon pepper. The wings are juicy. The wings could've used more flavor though. I tried my friend's spicy garlic and we both agreed that it had no flavor. - French Fries ($3.99): fries were okay. I probably wouldn't order them again. - Sweet Potato Fries: I'm not a fan of sweet potato, but these were so awesome. They were crunchy. They are the weave basket type of fries like the Chick-Fil-A fries. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back since main reason we came to try it was for the crawfish which was disappointing. TIPS: + It's BYOB at no charge. However if you forget, they have a small beer selection. + Parking is tough. Not a lot of spots in the small lot. Be prepared to hunt for a spot + Be prepared to wait in line. The line goes out the door + $1 deposit for a clamp to assist you with breaking your snow crab legs. You will get the $1 back upon returning the clamp. read more

My first boiled crawfish experience of the 2014 year. Ouch. Going forward I'll put "LA" in quotations, because, quiet frankly I'm not sure what L.A. in "LA" Crawfish stands for, but it certainly isn't Louisiana. Nor should it claim or pretend to represent anything from the state of Louisiana. And who in the hell decided that Cajun/Creole food and Asian food was a good culinary match? I grew up in South Louisiana. My entire family is from South Louisiana. I moved to Texas to work in the oil and gas industry. I've lived here in Houston for 5 years now. And up until this year. I've completely given up on eating crawfish in the state of Texas. So sad. I just wait until a trip back home. I can't take the inexperienced bland boiling techniques and travesty of sprinkling the outside with "Cajun seasoning". It's gotten to the point where even when my coworkers invite me over for their backyard home crawfish boils, I have to politely decline their invites. Because you know they will eventually ask, , "Well, you're from South Louisiana, that's pretty damn close to the real thing isn't it?" This uncomfortable situation leads to feelings get hurt and work relationships strained. Needless to say, I take my boiled crawfish pretty seriously. Anyhow, back to "LA" Crawfish The girlfriend and I stroll in at about 6:30PM Tuesday. There's a line out the door. Place is packed. I wait my turn patiently behind a tape line. Their whole idea behind the service/ordering at "LA" Crawfish is terrible. You wait in line, they take your order at the register, then you just hope and pray there is an open table somewhere within the building. They give you a number and if there is a table available, you sit down and wait until they deliver your order. When it was my turn to order the young girl politely asks me how many lbs I want. I say 6 and ask if that is including the potatoes and corn 6lbs or 6lbs of just crawfish. She says just crawfish. This is how the rest of the conversation plays out. Her: "Sir what flavor would you like? Garlic Butter, Cajun Style, or Hot and Sweet? Me: "Excuse me? There aren't flavors of boiled crawfish.....What is the "Cajun Style?" Her: "That's the traditional Louisiana style seasoning we mix them in" Me: "Ummmm, okay. I see. Can I get boiled crawfish without 'them being mixed in seasoning' ?" Her: "Wait, so you don't want any seasoning at all on them?" Me: "That's correct." Her: "Okay, do you want Mild, Spicy, or Extra Spicy" Me: "WHAT?" Apparently, not only can you get them in different seasoning, but they also have different levels of Tony's / seasoning salt they sprinkle on the crawfish. Whatever, I'm already here. About 15 minutes later they bring us 2 sacks of crawfish. Potatoes and Corn mixed in. No where remotely close to 6lbs of crawfish. Probably 3-4lbs with corn and potatoes rounding out the 5-6lbs. Shocker. Saw that coming. You can hardly see inside this plastic clear bag because of the seasoning they apparently poor over the crawfish then shake up to evenly distribute throughout the bag. Sigh. To make matters worse. Small. Small. Small. Which is forgiving because due to the long winter and harsh weather in South Louisiana this winter, we aren't quite in season yet. But the crawfish weren't cooked anywhere near evenly. Some nearly raw and un-peelable, some okay, and some waaay overcooked and falling apart when you tried to peel. They have a bar / station of toppings for you. It has Tony's, sea salt, paprika, seasoning salt, hot butter, ranch, honey mustard, mayo, ketchup, and Sriracha. Interesting concept. 10 minutes later they bring out the oysters. Who would eat the oysters after their meal? The fuck? I ask for crackers. They don't serve crackers with oysters. Another WTF moment. I've always always eaten oysters over a cracker with tabasco. Well, most Louisiana folks do. But again, "LA" Back to crawfish. I find it amazing that Houston is only 3 hours away from what is considered Cajun Country and you can't find decent crawfish in this city prepared correctly. LET ME TEACH YOU THE SECRET: It's very very simple and has been practiced for decades in Louisiana. Fill your boil pot with water. Add lemons, add whole garlic, add whole peeled white onions, add liquid or dry crab boil. Purge crawfish. Bring boil pot to boil. Toss in whatever extras. Boil crawfish. Turn off burner. Let crawfish soak. Drain. Serve. NO seasoning on the outside. No garlic butter. No Tony's. No Seasoning Salt. IT'S ALL IN THE BOIL. DON'T MESS WITH SUCCESS. Just a complete and utter bust. My first crawfish of the 2014 season, a disaster. An Asian / Louisiana combo menu? Haha, NO. Serving everything from wings to pho. This place and menu is an abortion. And should have their license to serve crawfish revoked. These YELP and Facebook reviewers don't know what boiled crawfish is. No one who has ever ever been to a real Louisiana crawfish boil would consider this place remotely acceptable read more

Disclaimer: Both locations have great reviews; so, I plan to come back and try again. My first experience was definitely lacking, unfortunately. First off, my girlfriend and I have been jonesing for boiled crawfish for nearly 9 months. We know there's a season and we know we're a little early for it. However, LA Crawfish was rumored to actually have live crawfish, albeit small. We figured we could handle small; so, we headed over. My girlfriend is super friendly and decides to chat up the cashier with "How big are your crawfish? Are they teeny tiny"? He responds with, "they're about this (displays space between thumb and index finger.) The freeze has been really hard and they haven't been shipping us live ones. These are a bit bigger because they're frozen." EEK! The problem is, we had already ordered and paid. What were we to do? So, we went over to the spice bar (super cool) and got ourselves all stocked up ready for a crawfishpalooza! Our crawfish arrived and well, they were just like frozen tails, only in the shell. They were rubbery and fishy - not yummy. Another thing to note: LA Crawfish is a really simple operation. You order at a counter and seat yourself. They don't use buckets with the crawfish; rather they're served in a plastic bag that, I think, you're supposed to dump out on the table - the very table you have draped with the plastic tablecloth they provide you at the counter. We also cleared our own table because leaving a pile of shells there just seemed weird. So, considering the minimal overhead and the amount of work the patron does, perhaps the price could be a bit lower. Sure, the going rate is $7/lb, but every restaurant/bar that I've ever ordered boiled crawfish had servers, backwaiters or bussers. Even Rajun Cajun has someone to clear the table despite it being a counter service establishment. I'll swing back by once season is in full swing and maybe the experience will be better. read more

Awful. This was my first time eating crawfish since the last season, so it's been a year of cravings and anticipation. The wait was long on a Friday night, and you don't get to order until a table opens up. Translation: you'll be standing for a while. The crawfish was TINY. It's a lot of work for so little food to begin with, but the garlic butter sauce wasn't even worth it. Corn and potatoes should soak up all the juices, but the flavor was somehow still lacking. It would really help to have a paper towel dispenser at the table, since eating crawfish is a messy affair. They don't automatically offer bibs or gloves either, so you gotta ask for them. My friend ordered the crawfish pho. What crawfish? Oh, found one! That's all you get. I just can't. The 5 spice basil wings are good, but not worth the terrrrrrrible parking in this shopping center. Expect to circle around many times, or just give up and go somewhere else. read more

Called an order in and got my name wrong so had to reorder when I got there and they charged my card twice and my shrimp and crab is over cooked. My order of two pounds of shrimp was only 1.1lbs... Yes I weight it myself because it didn't look right. I wasted money and I'm pissed. Went to mcdonalds near my house to make me happy. La fisherman won this battle. Not happy at all. read more

Finally, a great crawfish joint in the Inner Loop! It's a blessing for my cravings (but a disastrous curse for my wallet and cholesterol levels...)! When my hubby told me that LA Crawfish opened up a new location near the Greenway Plaza, I might have continually whined until he took me there within 3 days. Although I wasn't too impressed by their first location at 99 Ranch Market, my cravings insisted that I give LA Crawfish another shot. We decided to have lunch there once they opened on Sunday at 12pm. It gets pretty packed within 30 minutes of opening, so get there as soon as you can! Of similar decor as other crawfish places, LA Crawfish has plenty of wide tables and space. Our party of 10 had no problem finding a spot to sit at the strike of noon, but it would've been an issue if we had arrived an hour later. Once you place your order up front, everything else is pretty much self-serve (get your own drinks and utensils, customize your spice condiments, lay out your own table cover, and clean up after yourself). Food turnaround after ordering was pretty efficient, and the food was pleasantly delicious: Japanese Ponzu Oysters - 4.0/5.0 - A yummy and interesting take on raw oysters, this dish comes with a dozen oysters on the half shell that are topped with sweet ponzu sauce, dried seaweed shreds, and tobiko (mini fish roe). It's crazy to believe, but these taste like a sushi roll on shells! Super delicious, but the oysters were pretty small. Crawfish Pho - 4.0/5.0 - My hubby had this "world famous" dish, and he enjoyed the spicy broth, crawfish meat, and Andouille sausage. Again, it's an interesting take on a traditional dish, so it's worth a try. Boiled Crawfish - 4.0/5.0 - I limited myself to 4 lbs of crawfish in spicy garlic butter sauce. My friend had separately ordered the medium-spicy garlic butter and the medium-cajun style crawfish (lighter yet slightly more flavorful in spice), but I personally thought mine was the winner! Spicy isn't "fire-coming-out-of-your-mouth" hot, but strong enough to keep a moderate constant heat burning in your mouth for the whole meal. I loved the garlicky flavor and fullness of the butter sauce, which was great with a side order of corn and potatoes. It's not the most fantastic crawfish I've had in Houston, but it definitely is a solid offering of it to satisfy my cravings. Sadly though, some of my crawfish were tough and small - perhaps it's because of the time of year. An added bonus is that it's BYOB (hooray), and they have other non-crawfish dishes that I'd like to try. (A few dishes I had a taste of from my friends were decent, though I felt the fried crawfish tails and chicken were on the slightly dry side). I will definitely come to LA Crawfish on a more frequent basis now that it's only minutes away from where I live, so long as my husband and physician allow me! read more

Let me start by saying I've been soooooo hesitant to check this spot out because of all the hype. Surely it can't be that good, right? WRONG WRONG WRONG! After spending the afternoon enjoying Carnival Fest at Discovery Green & missing the Crawfish UYE, I needed a mudbug fix pronto! So when my friend suggested this spot I was all in. Love the BYOB concept. When it comes to crawfish & boiled seafood, there's just nothin like your fave beer or bottle of vino to wash it down! Letting me bring what I want w/o a cork fee gets 2 thumbs up from me! Though we hit the door not too long before closing we were greeted with all grins & no funky attitudes. It was a busy Sat. night, but they were keeping the tables cleaned up. We ordered, grabbed a table, spread the plastic covering & broke out the cervezas! It wasn't long before all that boiled & fried wing glory hit the table. Spicy garlic & cajun style bugs & crabs. Also had spicy wings, plus the corn & potatoes to go with the bugs. I honestly wasn't expecting the food to be as good as it was, but the flavors here are done very well. The spicy garlic was just spicy enough, but you could really taste the garlic. Wings were a great size & not drowning in tasteless hot sauce. I really enjoyed the fact the corn & potatoes were cooked perfectly vs. boiled for hours on end! And gotta love the DIY melted butter & spices station! Both the bugs & the crabs were a great sized. I can tell they purge their bugs which makes a BIG difference in taste.One of my friend's crabs didn't seem too fresh & our waiter took it back, ordered a fresh batch, plus gave extra sides for the wait. All w/ no hesitation or attitude. True 5 star rating...service, food, prices, cleanliness are all on point. Will be back for shizzle! read more

Been to 99 Ranch location before, had a bad experience the last time I was there and wrote a Yelp review for it. Found out about this new location (which is nearby work office) and decided to check it out one night. Was hoping that it would be better than my last visit at the 99 Ranch store. Well... it was, but not by much. Went from 1 star to 2 starts basically. Never ever coming back to any of their stores, so I won't spend too much time going into details. This will be short and simple. Service was good, staff was friendly. Crawfish was cheap, $6.99/pound compared to $7.99 and $8.49 at other crawfish joints in Chinatown. Took me one bite to find out why. It's FROZEN, although they claim it's live. No bueno. Also, a bunch of claws and litter at the bottom of the bag, consistent with my last experience at 99 Ranch. We also got lemon pepper wings, which was pretty good (reason for 2nd star). Response from entity may be that their cf is live/fresh and not frozen, which is fine. To my gf and I, if it smells frozen, tastes frozen, and feels frozen (texture), then its frozen to us. Maybe the casual cf fan can't tell, but we sure can. Wanted to like this location, but we'll stick to Cajun Kitchen and the other Bellaire/China-town joints going forward. read more

Its early in crawfish season, but we were excited and had some crawfish crawings. LA Crawfish is home to the best Vietnamese crawfish boils in town. I've been the location in ranch 99 a bunch of times and have never been disappointed. When we first got there the waitress told us that they have crawfish but it was frozen. I've never heard that before, but we decided to try it. I also go the green chilli thai oysters. I love oysters. Being from Louisiana, its almost like home to have raw oysters when you get crawfish. The crawfish turned out to be better than I expected. (Cajun Style is the way to go, add extra corn and sausage)I actually really enjoyed it, just like Ranch 99. The oysters were good, nothing really special but I thought were pretty good. So why the 2 stars??? About 24 hours later, the food poisoning hit me. I wen to the toilet a record number of times. I peed from my ass. It was one fo the wort experiences I've ever had. When I tried to trace it down. I called my friends who went with me to see how they were feeling. 4 out of the 6 people that went got food poisoning. The four that did, all had oysters, the two that did not, were too picky and chose not to try them. I wish I was more picky. I called the restaurant to tell them what happened and the employee was very nice and told me that he would let the manager know about the incident. I did not want any compensation, I just wanted the item to be removed from the menu. I never got a call back form the manager. DO NOT GET THE OYSTERS HERE. read more

I've been to the one off Blalock and had the crawfish; it was really good so i figured I would try this one out. It's not crawfish season so i ended up getting the Chicken Pho and my husband got the crawfish pho...freaking delicious! I grew up on home cooked pho so i was really surprised when i actually liked it. Taste like home ;) Staff is super friendly and helpful. Interior is clean and the decor is cute. read more

If you love crawfish, and I mean real Louisiana crawfish, do not come here! This will not satisfy your crawfish craving!!! This is not Louisiana style!! The seasoning is more of a sweet/spicy dry rub type of seasoning. Very strange and unappetizing. This goes the same for the king crab and snow crab, though I did have the butter garlic snow crab. I also ordered the "spicy garlic" wings, I couldn't eat more than one, they had the smell and taste of peanut butter cookies, you may think "that doesn't sound so bad" but in this case it is, nauseating. Everything has sugar in it for some reason. We stood in line for 40 min waiting for a seat, told we couldn't order until we got a table, we get the table and end up waiting an additional 25 min for our food to come out. Though it is byob and a very nice casual fun environment, it isn't enough for me to want to ever come back here. read more

I finally tried their famous crawfish pho! I was kind of iffy about this dish at first... I love pho and crawfish separately... not too sure about combining them. However, this is where being adventurous pays off. I really liked it a lot! The broth is perfect. I didn't have to alter the flavor with hoisin sauce or hot sauce. It is plenty of spicy and trust me, I can handle spicy. The only downside is I smelled like crawfish the rest of the day.... Not good when I have to go back to work. I discovered this location while driving to salata for lunch. LOL so instead of going to Salata, I decided to try this place out. I didn't have to wait at all. The staff was really nice and the facility was clean. AND it is like two minute from my place. I will definitely come back and try their other dishes out. I am excited to have this place inside the loop because before I would have to drive all the way to chinatown if I was craving for Asain flavored crawfish (Asain flavored crawfish consists of onion, garlic, organge juice, and crawfish seasoning!) read more

Pretty disappointing. It seems that they purposely allow a giant line to form to attract crowds, all the while inconveniencing everyone currently in line. Went on a Wednesday night; only one register and one employee was working the counter. If there are no tables available, you aren't allowed to place your order. What? Poor space management, if you ask me. And if you aren't ordering crawfish (i.e. po-boys, pho, etc.), you are stuck in line. Decided to get order to-go so that I could at least place my order and not stand in line forever; ordered a shrimp po-boy and a crawfish po-boy. Both were just okay, and they stuff po-boys with french fries to make it seem like they are fuller. Why go here for that when BB's is right down the street? read more

I hate to do this because the crawfish there is actually good, but the last time I went a couple weeks of ago, the experience was less than pleasant. My friend and I were there sitting at a table against the wall. At one point, we noticed a roach crawl out from behind one of the wooden boards. We tried to stay calm. And just told one of the staff members. They were so nonchalant about it saying "oh... We just sprayed the place so that's why they're coming out." REALLY?! We tried to finish our food, but within the next 3 minutes, 2 more roaches came out from the same spot! We weren't nearly as calm anymore. So we motioned a different member of the staff over and showed him hoping for a different outcome. His reaction was much like the first as if it's normal to have roaches crawling out of your walls at a RESTAURANT! His verbal response was, "They're coming from the restaurant next door..." By this point, I was disgusted so my friend and I just left. Didn't finish my food nor did I bother asking for a refund. I just had to charge it to the game! read more

No fountain drinks, only bottled soda $2 each. I got two pounds of the Medium spicy Cajun crawfish. They say they charge market price (late May, $7.99/lb) and .89 per corn. They have a self serve station with seasoning, limes, and melted butter which is pretty nice. Next to it was a water cooler. Decently sized crawfish, but were not purged well enough so I got a mouthful of sand. It really was not spicy, this is coming from someone who cannot handle spicy food well. My friend had the crawfish curry which came with rice, sausage, shrimp, potatoes, and a crawfish on top. It wasn't spicy either, was a little sweet actually but still tasty. read more

Due to convenience this has become my default cheap eats place. They have good seafood marinated in decently spicy sauces. They have po'boys, pho, dry noodles (garlic noodles), chicken wings. The diversity of the offerings has me coming back and the prices are very reasonable. Oh, one of the better things is that its BYOB!. The parking situation isnt the best but usually we can find a spot. They also have stuff that you probably have a hard time finding at other places like the LA crawfish pho which is a beef/crawfish pho. Sounds pretty gross, but it somehow works. I do recommend getting crawfish in peak season because otherwise the critters are too small and may not be worth the effort. Staff is friendly, condiments and sauces are at the other end of the cashier counter. PS: theres a bottle opener right at the cashier read more

Since it's pretty early in crawfish season, I am not rating them too harshly...so hear me out. I decided to try this place mainly because it's the only crawfish place in the area with Asian influenced flavors, and the location in 99 Ranch is pretty good. Also, it's walking distance from where I live. That being said, when I walked in, I was super excited, and it was pretty packed too. Why I'm giving it 2 stars is because the crawfish were small, extremely lacking flavor, and there were several dead ones in my 5 lbs. that I ordered. I tried the cajun and the garlic butter. The garlic butter was a HUGE mistake. There was barely any flavor, which really made the crawfish's lack of freshness stand out. The cajun was a bit more flavorful, but I would not say that it was good. I also ordered the basil chicken wings, which I actually liked. They were not the best, but the flavor was good. This restaurant has a cool concept in that you serve your own sauces and drinks, so you don't have to wait on a server to come by to ask. They have a good selection of crawfish salt, cold butter, hot butter, lime, etc. It is also BYOB so you can bring whatever beverage you would like there. I'm giving this place 2 stars simply because their crawfish did not compare to the 99 Ranch one at all. Maybe if the flavors are enhanced with some more seasoning and they actually picked out the old/dead crawfish, it would taste better. They just opened, so I'll eventually give them another chance. There are too many great crawfish places in this city for me to go back anytime soon. read more

I absolutely love this place!!! So much that I have been here four times in one week!! Amazing food, great service and great location (across the street from my house) lol ... Crawfish is simply delish! The shell peels right off no fuss or injured fingers. Great seasoning and you make it spicy of extraaaaa spicy!! I love the pho!! Very large bowl and a healthy amount of beef!! Hot wings are good too! My favorite I must say is the crawfish empanadas. Life changing!! So happy my friend introduced me to this place I would recommend to anyone ! :) read more

Horrible! Our crawfish was overcooked (shells were soft?!) and we ordered king crab legs that were rubbery and impossible to eat. When we complained we were told "but we told you crab is out of season" (which simply isn't true) and the manager refused to refund or do anything to even acknowledge our dissatisfaction. The table near by was shocked too, and said "I've never seen a place that doesn't return something if you are not satisfied." horrible customer service and even worse food. NEVER AGAIN read more

First off, this is basically fast food. You set up your own table, your own drinks, get your own condiments, bus your own table, ect but they still expect a tip? That really bothered me that a tip was expected when I did all of the work. I had the snow crabs and they were good! I ordered a basket of fries, it was small and very much overpriced! (almost 5 dollars for fries that could fit in my hand) and there is nothing special about it. Cleanliness was an issue for me as well. Other customers would come with their crawfish covered fingers and hands to grab straws, drinks, napkins, salt (with a spoon that is thrown back into the salt bucket) ect so nothing was sanitary. It is decent, but over priced for the quality and service. The food is a 4 but the issue with sanitation brings this down to a two. I will not be returning or recommending as it is a health hazard to eat here. read more

I ate here last month I had a Beatle and roach in my desert. I was really mad at them, and all they said was sorry. Lady at the register asked for my number so management can call me back, apparently they weren't there, they never called. I contacted the Heath Department because they apparently didn't care. Never will I eat here again or recommend this place to anyone. Good thing I took pictures because they were quick to throw away the evidence after I showed them. read more

LA Crawfish - Thanks for not caring La Crawfish - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

The food was pretty good. I got a pound of crawfish and one of shrimp, sweet potato fries, white rice and a daiquiri (literally juice). However the service was horrible. The guy was taking my order and stopping to text on his phone. He gave my drink to another black woman, it was truly all over the place. It wasn't bad but there is def better in houston and for that reason I probably won't go back. read more

TLDR: Really flavorful fusion food for a pretty low price. You'll enjoy it more if you don't go in expecting traditional pho. I prefer this location to the one in 99 ranch. The portions are a little smaller, but (I think) the quality is better. The place is BYOB and you often see people who bring entire coolers of beer for their party. There are often long lines there during peak hours, especially when there are any big sporting events on TV. If you are there just for the food, you can always get it to go and then skip the line and order sooner through the to-go line We usually go for the pho bowls (~$9 per bowl) and we've gotten boiling seafood once or twice. The bowls are pretty big so it'll fill you up, if not, you can always add extra pho or order an appetizer on top of it. I prefer the pho over their boiling seafood because their seafood isn't the best. The flavor is good, but it doesn't sink in all the way, and their meat is not the most tender. It's still worth trying, but If you want just boiling seafood, I would look around to find a place that specializes in it. They also have some pretty good looking appetizers and a decent selection of other entrees. I generally like to stick to one thing once I've found the order I like so I haven't ordered a lot of the other foods there. I have tried the shrimp basket and the crawfish basket though. The shrimp is pretty good, and the crawfish is definitely worth getting, mainly because it's not something you find everywhere. read more

I come here once in a while because I miss the garlic butter crawfish flavor even though sometimes it is not in season yet. You feel me? I got the medium spicy (level 1) garlic butter crawfish 2 lbs so $14 total. I like coming here bc of the convenient variety of sauces you can walk up and get anytime. There's hot butter, mayo, pepper, cayenne, salt, lemons, etc. I also tried the garlic noodles. It gave me a little stomachache. Maybe it was just me but I thought it tastes decent. Now I know it's not for me. Finally I got the fries with crawfish to help me fill up but it was a small serving for $3.99. Totally not worth bc it was regular Cajun fries. read more

Really good crawfish but small establishment which makes line long but worth it when u get in and BYOB

I'm not a big fan of crawfish, but whenever I do, I always end up at LA crawfish. That place is dank. Staff is always helpful....been there few times now. Lol, dont understand peoples complaints in the other reviews......the name of the place is LA crawfish, do yourself a favor and order what they specialize in, you won't go home unsatisfied. :) P.s - flavor - mix garlic butter with cajun.....mmmm so yummy. read more

It's finally here! CRAWFISH SEASON!! LA Crawfish is my spot!! I love the sauce options! Mines is always the garlic and Cajun mix extra spicy! And yes it makes my nose run eveytime. The flavor is soaked thru the crawfish which the other crawfish joints don't seem to understand! Also, the shrimp are large and not over cooked making them chewy! The seasoning seems to take to them even better so I'm careful with the spice on these babies! Gloves are needed and supplied with I appreciate! I would have given them 5 stars if I could get a beer or two! Lol.....it's byob but I'd rather just buy it cold outta the freezer there! read more

This is a really good hidden gem of a restaurant, and that's saying something, for a chain. Simple tasty food extremely reasonably priced. I had some fried wings and crawfish curry, the curry was delicious and the wings were flavorful. Simple seating, no great ambiance per se however not unattractive dining room. read more

LA Crawfish - Crawfish curry and five spices + basil wings. - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place was previously Kobecue but I'm glad they changed to LA crawfish. Same great customer service & food. Staff is always friendly, especially Yen their cashier (always pleasant to talk to & polite) Business will probably a bit slower because crawfish season is over, but will be returning regardless. Their spicy garlic wings are my favorite! read more

I had the crawfish plate today - eh -- believe me I have experience better. The plate had about 2 ounces of crawfish tails and the remainder of the plate was french fries. I would prefer not to spend $10 on a plate of french fries. There are much better options for true Louisiana cuisine WITHIN BLOCKS!! Don't be fooled by the sign - it is very far removed from being LA Crawfish. C read more

LA Crawfish - Gumbo - Vietnamese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came here yesterday after my mouth was craving more crawfish lol I've heard of this place but never been.. Sooooooo good! I got 3 lbs of Cajun medium, 1 lb of shrimp (Cajun medium also) & 2 potatoes. The shrimp were pretty huge! The crawfish flavors were garlic butter, Cajun and hot & sour. We got there about 4 so it wasn't super busy but as 6 o'clock rolled around, there was a line forming outside the door. All the staff were nice & the place is set up nicely with several TVs and plenty seating, which is also good for groups. If you don't eat crawfish there are other items on the menu. And you can't beat a BYOB establishment! I'll be returning next week.. Lol! read more

See all

Crawfish: 3.5 stars I've been here twice. The first time the four of us got 20 lbs of crawfish!! We tried both cajun and garlic butter. The hot and sour seasoning didn't sound as appealing, reminded me of hot and sour soup at Chinese restaurants. We also got wings (see rant below), fries, and snow crab legs. The second time I came with my boyfriend and got 8-9 lbs of crawfish, wings, and fries. I like my crawfish savory (dry seasoning) medium spicy. I'm not a big fan of crawfish soaked in oil, butter, and bits of garlic. Naturally, I enjoyed the cajun seasoning way more but the garlic butter wasn't too bad (not too oily). The first time I came here was early on in the season around the beginning of March. I was impressed by the size of the crawfish and the flavors. The second time, the crawfish were slightly overcooked and I didn't enjoy them as much as I did before. Somewhat disappointing that the quality wasn't consistent. Crawfish and Beignets in HK4 is still my all time favorite. Wings: 5 stars The reason I want to come back is for their five spice and basil wings. My boyfriend thinks they taste like tap chicken nuggets but in wing form. They are crispy, but not too greasy. Super flavorful dry rub and easy to eat if you already have gloves on (for the crawfish). Fries: 5 stars They come out of the fryer piping hot, so let them cool off before you burn the tips of your fingers or tongue. Goes great with ketchup or mayo. read more

This place is amazing and as the current Duke I cannot tell you more than I can show you. The staff is polite, the food is on point. And it is a lot closer than the one in ranch 99. Stay away from the crawfish cheese rolls and the Thai basil oysters. But everything else I would recommend wholeheartedly. This place is what heaven is like. They capture the flavors so well. I can't describe this place in any more words so here is one I have made up for it. "Gapollopolous" Enjoy. read more
