Hong Kong Market -- 5…read more Located inside my favorite place on earth... and no, Disney World cannot compete. This is THE best international market in the Greater New Orleans area. Tucked inside is their bánh mì spot--the Vietnamese po-boy--and baby... it's a staple. Open daily, and you'll usually catch the same sweet older woman back there faithfully whipping out sandwiches like clockwork. It's something about that consistency and care that just hits different. They're under new management now and the space got a little upgrade, so I'm not sure if everything is exactly the same menu-wise, but my go-to has always been the one with meatballs--and I ALWAYS add extra pâté. That pâté? Don't skip it. The bread is exactly what it needs to be. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside... not too hard, not too soft. Perfect balance. Prices went up just a little, but honestly? For about $7, you're getting a full, loaded sandwich that eats like a meal and then some. Still one of my favorite quick eats. Every time I'm in there, I'm grabbing one.

A shopping treasure on the Westbank, especially if you are searching for those hard-to-find Asian…read moreproducts (most abundant choices: Vietnamese, Chinese, Latin-American, but they have a good selection of Middle Eastern, Japanese and Indian items as well). This is a vegan paradise, as they have my beloved tofu skin (yuba), soy curls, all the tofu varieties you could ever want and a variety of fake meats, wheat gluten goodies and even vegan jerky. Prices are impressively low. It's been over 10 years since my last review and the market has grown so much. We spent an hour in here today and noticed they have a good sake collection, as well as Asian beers. Boba/tapioca pearls, teas, coffees, spices, desserts... an entire aisle devoted to soup bases, noodles, dried mushrooms! Pinch me, because I think I'm dreaming. I'm in hot chile heaven. There was one thing that my husband wanted that we couldn't find. One of the sweetest ladies at the cash register tried her best to help, even with a slight language barrier we were able to show her the product (dried bonito flakes). She showed him dried squid but that wasn't quite the same thing. I think they have less Japanese products, not really a big deal at all. We so appreciated her kind efforts. Bonus: the cute statue collection by the entrance! Buddhas, lucky cats... even Hello Kitty herself is represented. Consider this market for unique gifts. They even sell Cafe du Monde coffee!

THIS IS NOT A PAID AD: There's no better place to get crawfish in the city...argue me down, lol…read more This place consistently delivers nice sized, quality crawfish that's boiled and seasoned to PERFECTION (perfect balance of salt, pepper, garlic, and citrus) all season long. Also, the ordering process is super fast and efficient...there's one line to order, you pay and get your order number on a receipt, then wait (no more than 5-7 minutes) for your order. They also have really decent cooked food (a hot bar, fried seafood, sandwiches, etc). The only downside of Dat Seafood is that they're closed on Sundays...Sundays are for crawfish!! But, even God rested, I suppose lol. Do yourself a favor and drive across the bridge for your crawfish...you'll never go anywhere else after!

Their po'boys are amazing too, packed with fresh flavors that hit the spot every time. The staff is always super nice and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Yeah, the place has that classic divey vibe you'd expect from an authentic New Orleans spot, but that's exactly what makes the food taste so great lol. Plus, it's tucked in a strip mall, so there's always ample parking - no hassle there. Highly recommend swinging by if you're in Gretna

No line, and I could smell the boil from the Main Street! Now, it's still early in the season so it was $8.99/lb but still worth it. Crawfish was juicy, flavorful, with tolerable spice! Listen, this is NOT a dine-in type of place, so get yours and find you somewhere else to congregate lol I love that it's a smaller, family owned business because the customer service is a 10, ALWAYS.

After hearing some boast about this place. I came there one day close to the Mardi Gras holiday…read moreassuming they're busy selling crawfish all day. I had waited 10 minutes in line behind a lady that bought what's left of crawfish they had boiled in the container "about 6lbs" Thinking they had more being boil in the back, but was just told they're sold out. There was an hour and 45 minutes before they were time to close. I believe that's more than enough time to not have a mother batch ready to be taken out to sell. The next time I came was a short line of 5 people ahead of me. I had to wait for about 20-30 minutes. The crawfish was excellent compared to most places I've tried around and cross town but it just wasn't $7.49 good while mostly all seafood stores were $5.99 lbs and under on their price. Besides the service of waiting and price, the flavor and texture , everything was on point.

I was told to arrive in 15 minutes to pick up my food. I arrived 20 minutes later and then had to wait an additional 10 minutes for my food. The dining room had to be 85 degrees inside so it was very uncomfortable. When I got home, the hush puppies were overcooked to the point that i could only eat one and then threw the rest away. The oyster poboy was just okay. For the price, i expected quite a few oysters, but there were only a few. The french fries were good. If i decide to try them again, i will definitely order something different.

I was getting tripped up on where they came from because I'm just a girl who loves crawfish and I do boil them myself but this just started recently.. So I'm not knowledgeable of how the sizes differ based on where they come from or how dirty or clean they are because to me it doesn't matter but to them it's what they advertise so in the middle of me trying to grasp this concept of the big ones come from the river and the smaller ones come from the pond or where ever they come from I still don't know because I sensed I was bothering her but maybe the lady was getting a little frustrated going back and forth with me on the wording and trying to explain to me while showing me " with a finger point " or a bin of mixed boiled crawfish saying " the ponds are in the front " but literally they were all mixed.. size were all over. I decided on getting the " rivers " as they call them, for me they were the bigger ones.. lol They all eat mud and they'll all be boiled to death and eaten. For one sack of 33 pound for $2.89 my total was $95 and some change, $104 after tax. I asked if they took tap and the lady said yes and than my total was $108 I asked why it went from 95 to 108 she explained to me that the total was $104 and it was taxes but I can see on the register " 104 " and I said no with taxes its 104, she said they charge credit card fees I said that's illegal, she said, " no it's not everybody does it " I said, " that's don't mean it's legal " she pointed at this white paper on the window that said nothing about credit card fees but said something about the right to give discounts for cash paying customers, and she called a manager.. Mind you I wasn't disrespectful just bothered my total went from 104 to 108 with no sign or warning they charge credit card fees until she mentioned it. But when she said they charge credit card fees I looked for an ATM which they didn't have one. So the manager comes over asks what's the issue I said it's illegal to charge credit card fees he said no it's not the company charges them I said what does that have to do with me.. He said if it's a problem I can leave, so I thanked them and I walked out, not saying another word. As I'm walking out he yells something ignorant and told me don't come back. As if I would have come back to a place that don't value their customers, understand that it's free to ask questions and free to be kind to customers, A business that values their customers would have simply said, "we do have the right to charge you up to 4% ( that's the legal limit on credit card fees " but of course he was just as ignorant as I was at the moment .. or he could have said, do you want the crawfish or not? " I didn't mind paying, I probably would have ended up paying the $4 but it's something about spending my money with people who take advantage of consumers just because they can and sometimes I have time to point out that simply " just because everybody does it doesn't make it right " pray on the ignorant and be mad at the people who know you're doing something you have no business doing is wild! I do know it's legal for businesses to charge credit card fees as long as it's presented to the customer and it's a 4% cap on fees because that's what the people who they have their card machine charge them so we both wrong but I wrote this review to shine the light on the fact they don't care about who buys from them, how you feel about them or how hard you work for your money they gone do business regardless and a lot of times people choose to stay away from businesses who don't value their customers. It's something about middle class white folk that act like they have a problem with being questioned and giving a respectful answer and realizing that everybody is not out to prove them as ignorant or less than, but prove to be just that. I spend $190 at the Westwego seafood at capt. Johnathan's lot on great size crawfish at $2.69 a pound and I paid their credit card fee because they didn't mind answering questions because not everyone knows what you know about the product you sell. The lady was patient with me, even found me something to put my crawfish in so they didn't dirty my car.. it's not about what you do it's about how you do it. " it's just $4 " it's my $4 until I choose that I want something bad enough to trade the $4 for a product or service and credit card fees for a business who don't care about me is not a fair trade. I wasn't greeted when I walked in but I always speak and ask the person how their doing, she answered and didn't dismiss the greeting which is why they get 3 stars, and they didn't seem to be like that when I called over the phone earlier that morning, the man I talked to over the phone gave me the address and pricing and shared they had two kinds and two prices.
