Razor clams
John N.

Came here on a double date and wanted to try a variety of dishes. If you love seafood this is the spot to go! It's very affordable unique seafood that you can't find in other seafood restaurants. They have the regular fried fish and shrimp but it doesn't stop there. At ocean crawfish they regular grilled fish dishes to snail, clams and other unique varieties. We ordered the scallops, different snails, oyster samplers and crawfish. Everything was cooked perfectly. The flavors were all on point. The coconut snail dish had me wanting to drink the sauce. The razor clams were cooked perfectly to where they weren't chewy like a rubber band. The crawfish sizes were perfect not too large not too small but the flavor was mainly outside the crawfish so they probably don't soak it there. The device was very fast even though it was busy. You will not be confused of the ambiance. When you walk in you know you're here for seafood because they have ocean murals and large clean tanks of fresh seafood.

I visited Ocean Crawfish on Beechnut twice within two days in January because I really wanted to give them a fair try. The crawfish were definitely live and fresh, which I appreciated. You can tell they take pride in having good quality seafood. The first time, I ordered the Medium Spice Ocean Signature. When I received my order, I noticed the receipt said mild, so I let them know it was supposed to be medium. A lady kindly took them to the back and said she was adding more spice. However, when I started eating them, they still didn't taste medium spiced. The second visit, I asked for spicy, thinking maybe I just needed to go up a level. Unfortunately, they still weren't spicy at all--honestly not even medium. The flavor was there, but the heat level just didn't match what I requested either time. Overall, the crawfish were fresh, which is a big plus. I may just need to speak with someone directly next time to make sure my spice level is right because I really want that true medium or spicy kick.

A seafood restaurant that prepares dishes in an Asian style loved by many Vietnamese diners. The space is spacious enough for groups, the food comes out quickly, the staff is attentive, and the prices are reasonable.

The oysters (both raw and cooked) were good, and the crawfish was huge and yummy. If your body is okay with consuming a lot of unhealthy fat, I would highly recommend that you try the fried soft-shell crab with salted egg- OMG I love it! The baby geoduck clams soaked in this spicy, flavorful oily sauce were delicious, and my husband was very impressed with it (the oily sauce). The sea snails in coconut milk were A-OK; it was much better a few months back when I had it for the first time, but last night it was kinda like meh.... Service was pretty much zero. My kids got the cheese sticks and chicken tenders with fries- both were bad though. 1 and a half of the chicken tenders were completely raw inside, and my 6-year-old was like Oh mommy, why is this chicken pink? *eye roll* Oh well, I still do love this place a lot and definitely will come back.

The place gets really crowded because they offer $9 oysters. Make sure to double check with the waiter about the discount, since they sometimes forget to apply it. That said, the food is great. The ambiance is pretty noisy and busy due to the crowd.

They are currently having an oyster special so we decided to stop by and try it out. We got 3 different style of oysters topping, crawfish, and a seafood platter. I'm a sucker for seafood platter and it did not disappoint. It was fry to perfection! The oysters was a little on the smaller side but the toppings made a huge difference. The crawfish was a good size and flavorful. You can choose from different flavor and we chose the garlic butter. Can't wait to come back.

A mighty and frenetic eating establishment for shellfish. Wow, they offer so much crayfish and oysters and crab here. Fresh and deliciously seasoned.

razor clams
Vian N.

i've gone here before but the food has greatly improved since then! favorite thing was the razor clam papaya salad, my whole family was in love with the flavor and crisp papaya! their razor clams are their most popular item, but it tasted rubbery to me - would not get again fried rice was addicting with the pops of topiko. everything was overall tasty

Ocean Crawfish's 2025 $9.99 deal is a steal -- you get a good amount of food for a great price. There's so many items in the $9.99 menu that you'll for sure find something you like. The dishes we ordered came out fast and were delicious for the value. Service is decent, though not particularly attentive. If you're here for tasty seafood on a budget, it definitely delivers.

Mussels with cheese
Khang D.

My family decided to try this restaurant because we heard about the $9 promotion. At the time we got to the restaurant, we got a table really quick. The restaurant was super crowded with extremely noisy. The tables were literally next to each other, so you shouldn't expect some privacy time with your family or friends. Maybe because there were so many customers, we only can see our waiter 4 times, when he took the order, when he brought out our drinks, when we had to go to other table to get some sauces to eat with food, and when we checked out. About the food, they had plenty of options from $5 to $20-30. Their food had a good portion for the price; however, food was extremely greasy. I couldn't eat the noodles at all, tasted like raw noodles mixed with raw oil and veggies. The mussels with cheese were pretty good, but also very oily, and the cheese sauce was not the best. The squids dishes were decent, also very oily. The sauce for the snails tasted like the same sauce for the mussels even though it should taste like salted egg york. Overall, I like their $9 menu. I might come back, but I'm not sure.

Came in on a Friday night and was seated right away. Security guard at the front which is a good thing considering the neighborhood Really budget friendly place if you're looking for crawfish. Good variety of options on the menu The gumbo I ordered was a tad salty (was super thirsty afterwards I think because of it) There was a piece of the fried mushrooms that wasn't cooked all the way (tasted an icy part in there) The oysters were really good, as was the crawfish. Bathrooms were clean, but it didn't have any paper towels.

garlic fried squid
Tiffany H.

Heard this place gets packed on weekends. Decided to go on a weekday for dinner. The interior of Ocean Crawfish is decorated like you're inside a boat. Until 11/22/24, there's a special where some dishes are only $9 each! Crazy price for the food quality! Service was quick. Pay at the counter once you're done eating. Complimentary lettuce but it was just ok, nothing unique. Ordered 3 dishes: rau muong xao toi (stir-fried morning glory with garlic), grilled oysters (10pc), and garlic fried squid All were delicious! There was something really addicting about the fried garlic bits with oil in the squid dish. Will go back in the future to try other dishes!

Salad
Sadia H.

My second visit here. This time, we didn't get any salad as last time. Service this time around was not very good. I ordered the oyster combo, small cheese scallops, seafood pan-fried noodles, and fried okra. I wasn't very impressed with any of the dishes. I found the scallops with cheese to be the best dish. I find that their dishes were over-priced & underwhelming this time around. Maybe it was an off day for them, but I don't think I'll be returning for a third round. There are so many amazing seafood & crayfish joints in Houston to explore. Happy Yelping!

Feels good when an establishment takes pride in their customer's feedback and puts a plan into action. Honestly, part of me was hoping that last time was just a fluke or an off day. This time around, everything from the service to the food was great. We had a 12:30 Sunday reservation for two and opted to sit inside this time. We ordered the cast-iron cornbread, chargrilled oysters, and a cup of gumbo each to start. For entrées, I had the Gulf Fish, while my husband went with the crawfish Florentine. Everything came out beautifully timed, almost like a perfectly paced three-course meal, which obviously made the whole experience feel elevated and relaxed. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. I also tried the prickly pear aid (non-alcoholic), and it was super refreshing, definitely worth ordering if you like a little tartness to cleanse your palate. Overall, this visit felt like a completely different experience than last time. It delivered the elevated experience a place like Eunice promises and what I was used to originally.

Unfortunately, the overall dining experience was disappointing due to both the service and the food quality. Our server was very slow throughout the evening. After ordering cocktails, it took approximately 20 minutes for them to arrive. We then ordered our meals... I had the burger and fries, while my girlfriend ordered the shrimp and grits. 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 vibe is great, the decor is awesome, the food delivers consistently, and service rarely takes a day off -- it's just a solid place to go when you're up for some great southern comfort classics. Cocktails, delicious. The daily food specials make it refreshing. The oysters never disappoint. We've rarely had to wait long on any ordered items and servers are all top notch.

*this review is only for crawfish, not their regular menu (which is amazing) *…read more We went here during crawfish season because they've been advertising their $8/lb crawfish, and we trusted that it would be great given the quality of their regular menu. We went on a Saturday for lunch. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but if you're looking for good Cajun boiled crawfish, this is not it. We started off with 6 lbs (group of 4) of their regular crawfish. First off, they put the Cajun seasoning on outside/shell (!!), which is a cardinal sin for Cajuns. They also minimally seasoned the boil, so the meat was lacking salt and flavor. We ordered 3 more lbs with the "wet sauce" (garlic butter), thinking the lack of flavor may be attributed to this being the first-ish batch of the day. Nope, the second batch was even less seasoned than the first. The sauce was good, but it didn't make up for the unseasoned meat. The crawfish were a good size, at least... Come on guys, I expect more from a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant!

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.
