The best customer service! My boyfriend and I get the boom bang flavor with half a pound of crawfish, corn, potato, sausage, a pound of shrimp, and crab! It's so flavorful, I believe the boom bang bag has all the flavors they offer. So if it's your first time there you might as well have a taste of everything which is that bag. They also offer a banh mi (French bread) for a dollar, so you can dip it in the sauce because they are not stingy with sauce at all! I would also recommend their fries because if you like those skinny crispy fries, you'll love theirs! Also I'm a person that loves spicy food! But don't get the 4 in spiciness, it's going to be a very uncomfortable experience in the bathroom the next day. Stick with 3 or even 2. read more

This spot is a hit or miss. Your typical Vietnamese/Cajun style seafood boil joint. Very small restaurant in an Asian strip mall. Parking can be horrid during peak hours. This place is a hit or miss because although their sauces are good the consistency is not always the same. I always go with the Boom-Bang whatever sauce that is loaded with garlic and spice. The sauce can be too liquidity at times like they didn't add enough flour or corn starch to their roux. Other times it is quite thick. Their seafood price list is a bit confusing. They have "Frozen crawfish" and "Louisiana crawfish". In the State of Washington any non-native crawfish species is prohibited to be transported into this State alive. It must be DEAD. The only times I see Louisiana crawfish come to WA is in dead, frozen form. So this place offers Frozen crawfish and Louisiana crawfish. Both of these Cajun Crawfish choices arrive dead and frozen unless the "Frozen crawfish" is imported from China or Vietnam. Frozen crawfish is pretty bad tasting compared to live fresh crawfish. If your crawfish has a mushy tail but advertised as fresh, send it back! This place needs to offer native WA mudbugs but then they would probably be charging you $60/meal. Fairly pricey as well. I spend about $40 alone for 2lbs of frozen crawfish and a regular drink + tip. read more

The Cajun Crawfish - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place has one of the best Cajun seafood in Seattle! My usual orders are the shrimp with boom bang sauce (4 stars) and their Steamed snails (dipping sauce is amazing!!) I am shocked this place doesn't have a higher rating. Their staff is super friendly, service is quick, and food is delicious!! Parking lot is small, but if you can snag a spot, this place is absolutely worth it and a must try!! read more

When I looked at the menu, wasn't quite sure how the options worked. Discovered that everything in the seafood boils are sold by the pound. Even a pound of crawfish was plenty for me to indulge in, and tried it with some different sauces. *Note, if you love spicy, the 3 star level really starts to bite back at you. Not pictured, but you can also get French bread (separate from the boil), I'd recommend that for soaking up those juices. Overall, amazing place, quick service, and a one of a kind enjoyable experience for seafood in the South Seattle area! read more

I thought the crawfish was ok.. the flavors didn't really seep into the crawfish so you had to dip the crawfish meat into the sauce after you peeled it - same with the shrimp. I used to love this place and was disappointed this time around. We ordered 6lbs of crawfish, 4 lbs of shrimp, 1 lb of mussels and 1 lb of clams! They did a mix for us split into 2 bags with corn, potatoes and sausage. They could only mix 3 items in the bag though, so we needed to get the third item in a separate bag. Why? No clue.. I thought the price was a bit on the expensive side but I suppose they do import the crawfish live from Louisiana and I've been spoiled living in the south. I just don't think the sauce compares to some other places I've had crawfish in Houston.. read more

I love this place so much. I love the food and the service. Every time I have been there the service is good and she remember our order too!! We love her! We get 2 lbs of gulf shrimp in boom bang sauce! Delicious!! read more

i've gone here multiple times before the pandemic. i usually really love this place, but this time my experience with the food was pretty bad. the person taking my order was nice but they weren't wearing a mask in the store even when i was placing my order which made me uncomfortable. i ordered takeout for the cajun fries and the mix it combo with crawfish, shrimp and mussels with the whole boom bang sauce, which is my fav sauce. i paid $97.52 (my total+18% tip) for everything. the amount was fine (i got 4 lbs and the bag was heavy) but the shrimp were overcooked and tasted old and the crawfish were tiny and also tasted kind of old. even the mussels tasted a little off and usually they are my favorite to get. the potatoes were really huge like they got too lazy to just cut it in a smaller size? one of the potatoes i ate tasted like dirt so i don't think they even washed them. the cajun fries, corn and sausages were honestly the best thing of my order LOL :( needless to say i'm disappointed. i probably won't be coming back unless i'm desperate and don't feel like making the trek to white center for crawfish king. read more

Garlic sweats. I have them. And if you're doing it right, you will too. I've only been to one other place similar to this and I remember it being good but didn't review it right after, so there you are. THIS PLACE is awesome. I've come by to check out the menu before but never had a chance to eat. As is every place on MLK, it's understated and found in a nondescript shopping complex. We reserved a table, which is probably a good idea considering how busy it was. Once you start ordering bags of seafood mixed with corn, you realize how much more you need/want/covet. 'We'll take a couple of Dungeness crabs in Boom Bang sauce and garlic butter. Oh, and we'll have a couple of orders of snails. How about some rice? Corn? Blue Prawns? Clams? Fries? Frog? Okay, I think we're good now.' Wait, that Boom Bang sauce is addictive. How about some hot buttered (!) baguettes (four, please!) to sop up that garlic, butter (margarine, me thinks?) Cajun and other spices? The steamed snails were delicious and tender. I had a couple of Pretty Woman moments where they slipped out of my hands onto the floor. The service is amazing here, but nobody caught them in their hand and said, "It happens all the time." The crab was so very good. The green mush innards are hit and miss with me. I sometimes like it smeared on bread, and some days, it's too avocado-y to me. But when you're with a food-loving Yelpers, it never goes to waste! The Blue Prawns were the least interesting to me. They were very firm and a little bland. I'll stick to the regular prawns next time. I did like the clams, although the sauce may have been been too much for their delicate flavor. The buttered baguette was nuclear in temperature; crusty and shiny with butter on top. And the deep-fried frog was good (a little chewy, but it's easy to do when fried). We used the fries like Boom Bang brooms to sweep up the sauce into our mouths. Gawd, I love eating with my hands. There's even a sink outside the bathroom so you can wash up and stop to take pics of the food! And like I mentioned, the service is amazing. The waitperson told us that due to crawfish regulations, all crawfish are not shipped live in the US any longer. Sad for us, but probably a better way to travel if you were a crawfish. Our combined bill was just over $30 each, and there was not a hungry tummy in the group. I'll just have to plan not being around other people for at least 24 hours. read more

Went with a group of six on a Sunday evening. Place wasn't as crowded as normally but probably because it was Easter! It was warmer than normal inside and when you walk in... the smell of the whole boom bang sauce hits ya overwhelmingly. Since it was our round 2 of food- went to a nearby restaurant just before. I ordered the wings with the fries but they were out so I just snack off my husbands chicken tenders with fries. Fries are always delicious here. The rest of the party ordered the garlic fries, bread, gulf shrimp, crawfish, and snails. The crawfish were big this time but one person said it didn't taste too fresh. Its probably not in season? read more

The Cajun Crawfish - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Shellfish happiness with the whole boom bang! My obsession with shellfish started in my mother's womb. For all I know, I came out with lobsters in my hand?? Ate prawns instead of milk? Well, it certainly feel that way. And cajun boils? Well that's just a given. Of course you'll have to love it! Seattle lacks in cajun seafood boils places but we do have a few. This one happens to be the best one in my opinion. It's simple, fast and delicious. Nestled deep in Rainier, it is a little far away to get to or find it for that matter. It's kind of hidden in the tiny strip mall across from a bigger strip mall. The place is always crowded. And their seafood is always fresh too! What do you get at cajun crawfish? Crawfish of course. Well, until that state ban on fresh craw fish anyways. Now you can only get frozen craw fish in WA state. Did ya know that??? I found out a couple of months ago so now I stay away. Thank goodness they still have plenty of other fishies to eat here :) Prawns- $13.99 a lb Blue Prawns - $15.99 a lb Dungeness crab- $19.99 a lb Snow crab legs - $15.99 a lb Sea snail - $12.99 a lb Craw fish - $11.99 a lb. So far I've tried them all. Dungeness crab is the hardest to eat with all that sauce! I like my cajun hot and spicy through the roof. Imagine cracking crab with that sauce all over? It's like a sauna for your fingers (even with the gloves). Prawns - they are always tasty and fresh! One pound of these guys in an extra spicy extra crazy boom bam sauce = a very happy me! Blue Prawns- these are way better than my prawns!! Giant big blue prawns with giant big heads and legs. It has that lobster-y chewyness. You also get less because these are big. But they are delish! Craw fish- a ok. Crab legs- yummmm! Sea snail- you can get them in sweet sauce or the spicy sauce. I love these little guys. So goooooood! You can also try other things like fried catfish, fried oysters and cajun wings. Catfish was a ok. The wings were good. I've also tried their boom bam fried rice on one of my visits here. Rice is always hard to eat for me with my shellfish. With my hands all invested in that bag of shellfish, I'm happy if I can reach to my water. Service- always great! Last night was packed as usual and the two girls that worked there made sure every table was served, refill and clean right on cue. Oh and if you spend $40 or more on a Tuesday, you get to spin the wheel with prizes on it! We got 10% off our bill last time. This time, we didn't get our total till much later and couldn't spin because the kitchen was closed. They told us to come back anytime and spin for 10% off bill, fried oysters, fried fish etc! Not that I need a reason to go back but guess now I'm obligated to ;) #Piscivores for life! read more

Ive eaten at this restaurant twice, the first time I had shrimp and clams which were great, but after my last experience I definitely will NOT be back! Cajun crawfish gives you the option to pick LIVE crawfish for $14.99lb or frozen for $9.99. I opted for live crawfish and what was brought out to me was anything but that! For those of you who don't know, there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE in quality between live and frozen. Live crawfish when cooked is nice and plump. The shells are hard and easy to Peel, while frozen crawfish are rubbery and can also be a mushy mess... And that is exactly what I got in my bag. Crawfish with soft shells and mushy meat. It was impossible to eat those things cause the shells just kept crumbling off in little pieces taking the meat along with it. I was so disappointed that I stopped eating and decided to take it home. In my bag full of frozen crawfish, there were about 2 live ones that were thrown in there. I find it pretty sad that this restaurant thinks it's okay to lie to customers like this! It's as if they think we cant tell the difference between the two. I definitely don't appreciate being ripped off. Beware! read more

The Cajun Crawfish - So dissapointed with my bag of "fresh" crawfish. Took it home & added shrimps to save it. This is what you get for 14.99lb - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is my absolute favorite restaurant for seafood boil! I don't know how authentic it is to Louisiana crawfish/seafood boils but it's mouth watering, savory, and delicious every time! The restaurant is pretty small so make sure you get here before dinner time, as it tends to get really packed, and really busy. The service is always spot on! The girls are really attentive, and friendly. We ordered 2 pounds of crawfish, 2 pounds of gulf shrimp, and 2 pounds of mussels, corn, sausages, potatoes with the whole boom bang sauce, hot. You don't have to wait long for your food and it comes out in a boil bag. I like that they don't pour it out on your table as that tends to get messy. The whole boom bang sauce is so garlicky delicious and the HOT is so spicy! We were sniffling because it was so spicy, but that didn't stop us from eating almost the whole bag because it was so good! I would definitely recommend this restaurant! They have a ton of other options if you don't feel like having the the seafood boil. I wish I lived closer so I can come here every week! read more

The Cajun Crawfish - Hot with the whole boom bang sauce. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was first introduced to vietnamese cajun over a decade ago, at boiling crab in los angeles, and been hooked ever since! a great combination of vietnamese flavors and cajun spices drenched over your choice of seafood. They have a good combo, choosing up to 3 different types of shellfish combined with sausage, corn and potato for $14.99/pound. (2/lb min) My typical order is 2 pounds snow crab, mussels and shrimp while boom bang 3 stars. Three stars starts pushing my high spice tolerance so unless you're feeling adventurous would not go further. Side of french bread and be sure to try their catfish. Extremely well done and super crisp. read more

I've been here multiple times and have always had a great experience. The service is great and the staff are always so friendly. They occasionally run out of fried baskets and things closer to closing but their food makes up for it. My go to order is usually 2 pounds of the mix it combo with shrimp and mussels, whole boom bang sauce, 2 stars (if I'm in the mood for spicy I'll do 3) steamed rice and Cajun fries. LET ME TELL YOU, their whole boom bang sauce is EVERYTHING. If you haven't tried it, you definitely need to! Peel your shrimp, de shell the mussel and scoop some of that whole boom bang sauce onto your rice, perfection! I could probably eat here everyday if I could. Hands down my favorite seafood boil spot. read more

Really nice customer service and the crawfish was soooopoo good!! Love it. Will go there again.

I had only one star for just a to go order because the attitude they have was ridiculous! The foods was OK but the way they talk to the customer was ridiculous. They don't even answer when I ask how much for the the combo, the guy just point on the wall and had a really BAD FACE like he don't really want to take the order, and I ask if I is ok to make it no spicy, he keep the BAD FACE to me and say : you order you choose the level... I mean how hard to you to just say Yes? Ridiculous service for just a to go pick up ! read more

I got that BOOM BOOM POW! Whooops, I mean Boom Boom Bang! Lol, I must say, my first time at the Cajun Crawfish was a hot success!!! Wooooo. I love this place. I am craving some as I type. We enter, and it's a small, but cozy and friendly place. We are seated immediately. We order the sea snails, fried mushrooms, I believe the seafood combo with clams, corn, potatoes, and shrimp. We had I think 2 or 3 lbs which ended up being a total of $45-$50 I believe. With the whole boom bang, and I think we ordered a mild spiciness. Oh, and some french bread and the youngin' had an order of catfish and fries ($8). I must say this whole boom bang was bangin! It was a kick of spice, but a lot of finger lickin'-can we lick the bag G-O-O-D! The sauce was soaking all the seafood goodies. The french bread was delicious with the sauce. Definitely on point. Very saucy and succulent. The crawdaddies were tasty, some were a bit small, but it came with a lot. I think the corn was cooked perfectly and the potatoes were good too (not mushy or too soft). The sea snails, at first, I was so disgusted. However, they taste like nothing. they give you toothpicks to pick em out (pretty genius). They give you some sweet chili sauce to dip with it (not that great). But they give you a lot of snails ( I think it was $8). If a 4 year old can eat it and enjoy it, so can you! Also--the fried mushroom were perfect. Nice, crunchy and perfectly coated. You bite in, and the juiciness of the mushroom flows. Yumm with their aioli sauce. That was $8 I think. Make sure you share em. We did not finish the sea snails or fried mushrooms and there was 4 of us. Anyway, please, eat their whole booom booom bang sauce for me. Enjoy their crawfish. You get a bib, so dig in!!! PS. Their service was amazing. Kind, fast, efficient, and checked in often! read more

I used to come here all the time, and I always argued that they had the best seafood boils in the Seattle area. I haven't been in a few years and recently went and I don't know if it's under new management/owner or maybe a new cook, but it is not the same as it was a few years ago. The sauce with thick like gravy and not seasoned well. I'm really disappointed. read more

Boom Boom Bang Bang Ambience: 2 Food: 5 Drinks: 2 Value: 4 This is one of our favorite places in all of Seattle. This amazingly delicious restaurant is the Chinese version of the Crab Pot. They do the seafood steam true justice. Their seafood is fresh and they have the most amazingly addictive sauce ever: the Boom Bang. It's got a crazy combination of garlicy Asian, peppery Cajun, and some sort of sweetness; it is indescribably finger-licking good. An extra plus: they let you kill yourself with spiciness if you dare. You can get the Boom Bang with 5 stars. And it is deadly. We're very tolerant of spicy foods, and we were crying, so trust us when we tell you, don't you dare. The setting of this place is pretty terrible. It's in some Vietnamese shopping center, far away from anything. The parking lot is a death trap. The place is small and crammed. Though it is pretty clean. We always take it home to eat. The price... is market price on everything except the seafood mix, so it can be pricy. Nonetheless, it's all worth it. That sauce is da bomb. read more

Let's cut to the chase The good... Within the moment? How else do I quote this? Shrimp- large shrimp. Tasted great Crawfish- big and juicy with good amount of meat Onion rings- awesome. Served with ketchup which made me miss being in Utah where fry sauce would usually be served. Sweet potato fries- thin and crispy, also served with ketchup Raw oysters- served with the usual condiments. No complaints.. Yet ? The bad: SERVICE. Wow. It took them 15 minutes to get us water and another 15 to come back and take out order. They never checked on us and so when we wanted to place another order, we had to constantly wave them down. When we did get out order in, they seemed annoyed that we " bothered" them. I felt a little animosity in the air. I threw up everything an hour later. Yes I'm talking emesis on yelp but you guys should know. Maybe it wasn't the food, maybe it was but I was feeling fine until after I ate here. My stomach ache has now lasted 6 hours and I haven't been able to eat anything else. I'm not sure if I'd come back here and more so bc of the staff and not the food. I'd give the food another chance but I wouldn't order raw oysters here. I will stick to the crawfish and shrimp and you guys should too. read more

So disappointed with this place. We got the shrimp in Cajun sauce with sausage and corn. The Cajun sauce was awful. I can't express how bad it was. It did not taste like Cajun at all, I can't even explain what it tasted like, black Licorice!?!? The sausage was weird and grey and tasted just as horrible. Definitely not what we were expecting. Maybe the other sauces are better?? The sauce basically ruined everything. My husband and I ate about 1/4 of our food and ended having to throw the rest away it was that awful. I felt horrible bc I hate wasting food and we were both still hungry but we just couldn't stomach through any more of it. read more

Buyer beware: This place lied to us just to get us to come in! They pretended to have whole crabs and then said they didn't have any when we got there. Then they mentioned their manager but when I asked to speak with them, they said the manager isn't available. They lied, wasted our time, and then didn't care that they had spoiled our evening. We enjoyed coming here for years but they have lost our business. Terrible customer service. I can't trust a place that lies so blatantly read more

I won't be going back here :( I'm from California and this place is similar to 'The Boiling Crab' in San Jose and the 'Crab Station" in San Francisco. These two places are great. I was hoping to have a similar experience going here specially with the great review that it has. Keep in mind that I might just be spoiled because I've tried two other great places, so people might think this is good food. I order 1 pound of shrimp with their hot cajun sauce with sausages, steam rice, cajun fries and a pepsi. -Shrimp: it was over cooked and card to peel, the sausages were just bad quality and tasted nasty. The sauce was way too thick and not tasty at all, it almost tasted like it was old. -Steam rice: it was rice pudding!! didn't even eat it, it was even hard to scoop!! -Cajun fries: They were just regular fries. I had to ask the waitress if they were cajun to make sure I order the correct thing, she said they were cajun, I didn't taste any cajun on them... they were just regular fries. -Pepsi- you can't go wrong with the drink except I had to ask for a refill twice because there was more ice than soda in the cup. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~----------------------------------------------~~~~~~~~~~~ Recommendations: Get bibs!!! For a place where you eat with your hands and it's just meant to be messy you need to offer bibs! Keep on working on the sauce and also make sure that if it saids 'Cajun" it is. Hope they get better. read more

Either the staff doesn't want to work, or their hours are advertised as wrong, something could be fixed. read more

My crawfish experience is limited to the one in White Center (Crawfish house??) and Boiling Crab in Cali/Vegas. I'm giving it a 2 because I don't think this is good enough for me to wanna return. It's not terrible, but I'd rather spend $30/person elsewhere. I will say growing up in South Seattle, I loved the music at this place! A lot of hip hop/r&b from high school days. This song that I dedicated to a high school heartbreak (back in the days) came on and I hadn't heard it in many years! Kinda awesome! Especially when I'm not 16 and being all mopey hahaha. Food: For 3 people, we ordered 1) fried mushrooms (bc one person was late -_- and we were hungry) 2) 2 lbs of crawfish 3) 1 lb of clams 4) 1 lb of shrimp 5) 1 lb sea snails. Mushrooms were whatevers. It's alright. Crawfish weren't that big and not all were that great in quality. Some kinda mushy texture. Clams and Shrimp were pretty normal. Sea snails were tiny and one of the others in the group ordered it. Not something I care much for. We got the "everything" mix with mostly no spice. The sauce is kinda thick. It was a true 0.5 star spiciness out of a 5 star scale. I prefer Boiling Crab's sauce and quality of seafood. I know you can't have it in seattle, but I guess I have no real crawfish cravings so I can wait til I travel elsewhere. Prices: Roughly $30/person with tax and tip. A little pricier than I expected. I feel like Boiling Crab was low to mid $20s. Not too significant I guess. read more

During my trip to Seattle, my sister and I stumbled across Cajun Crawfish. This place is a cajun/creole seafood place which is very similar to The Boiling Crab out in California. First choose the type of seafood you desire, the sauce you want them drenched in (cajun, garlic butter, lemon pepper, or the whole boom-bang which is all three combined), and how spicy you can handle. Then tie a bib around your neck and keep a roll of paper towels handy. Finally dig right in and enjoy your meal. My sister and I ordered the seafood combo for $13.99 which lets you mix certain types of seafood together (crawfish, mussels, snow crab legs, clams, or gulf shrimp) with a 2lb minimum. It also comes with sausage, potato, and corn in the bag. We decided on 2lbs of crawfish, clams, and gulf shrimp. We also ordered a pound of king crab legs and cajun fries. To our luck, it was spin the wheel day and my sister won us an order of fried calamari. Everything came out piping hot and the seafood tasted fresh. The only thing I have to complain about is that the king crab legs were pretty small. It resembles more of snow crab legs. I loved the atmosphere and the service here. The waitresses were pretty laid back, funny, and cheerful. They kept our cups filled with water and were really attentive. Nothing more I can ask for. Overall the flavor of the sauce wasn't as good as The Boiling Crab, but it was good for what it was. If I'm ever back in the area, I would definitely come back. read more

My boyfriend and his two friends ate there tonight (I ate before we got there ironically) and they both got the mix combo with the amazing sauce or whatever it's called, (where all sauces are mixed together) and literally after we left and got into the car, my boyfriend took 20 minutes to leave the parking lot because they weren't sure if they were going to throw up or not, we suggest crawfish king instead. read more

I have been going here for quite some time. They seemed to have dropped a lot of their menu items and the quality is declining. No chowder, no fried rice. Melted butter tasted spoiled. When I asked the server about it they said that they keep it refrigerated, but regardless it was off. Their bam boom sauce is great. Shrimp is tasty (although prices also seem up at $15.99 / lb of shrimp). Crayfish are small and it and crab are previously frozen. Not so great. Stick with shrimp. read more

The Cajun Crawfish - Never cleared shells or towels during our meal. Service should be more attentive and not just phoning it in. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Seattle, Washington

During the COVID crisis, we're trying to do as much takeout as we can, and we were already used to ordering takeout from the Cajun Crawfish. We were glad to see they're still open and feeding the community! The best bang for the buck here is the Mix It combo, and we always order the shrimp and mussels, as there is more meat/lb compared to some of the other options. You can buy french bread here, but the pricing is a little steep ($2), so I got the french bread from Tammy's Deli and Bakery across the street (50c), which I was happy to see was still open. As others have said, the "whole boom-bang" sauce is amazing, and really we mostly order from here so we can dip our bread in that sauce. (You're going to want lots of bread - at least one per person.) As long as you're open, Cajun Crawfish, we'll keep ordering! read more

The servers were really nice but they should hire one more person. It was really awkward watching them run around frantically trying to assist with customer requests. The parking lot is cramped and the line outside is ridiculous. Their spiciness level definitely doesn't match the American palate. I ordered #2 but it tasted like a 3-4 so beware. It's a younger crowd here; folks in their 20s. Nothing wrong with that. Just an observation. I think I'm more of a Crawfish House (White Center) fan. They have more menu items, more tables, and is less chaotic. On a positive ending note, it certainly is cheaper than Crab Pot on the Waterfront and you get to avoid tourists. read more

The Cajun Crawfish - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Heard great things about the place. Had to check it out. I LOVE seafood so I was so excited to try this place. We were hungry and decided to try The Cajun Crawfish on Martin Luther King as we were in the area. We got there about 1:30 in the afternoon and there were just 1 table not occupied which was great because the service was pretty quick. We ordered 2 lbs seafood mix with your chosen sauce - in our case, garlic butter. Fried calamari and garlic fries. The food was good, however the shrimp, clams, sausage, potatoes, corn and crab are all delivered to your table in the same plastic bag so they all have the same taste from the seasoning. The seasoning is the best, although the heat creeps up on you even with the lowest spice level. The fries had a seasoning on them that made it too hot for me & my daughters to eat, so if you don't like real spicy food please ask them to go lightly on the spice. Although it is tasty, it can get very messy. It's not your traditional dinner with plates and spoons, but with plastic gloves, utensils for cackling crab, lobster, king crab legs, etc, and eating right off the covered tables!! Oh don't be alarm you will be given a bib to protect your clothing! It was a totally awesome experience. I recommend it to anyone willing to try and experience a totally new " out of the box" way of dining!! Bon appetite!! There's a convenient hand washing station inside the restaurant. Place was casual and inviting. Staff was very nice and attentive. All in all it was ok but not our first choice for crab. read more

This place is GOOD. Like lick-your-fingers, cajun spicy, salty garlic saucy, so good your table is silent while eating good. If you're sensitive to spice or seasoning in general then this place might not be for you. But I am glad there are places like these up in Washington to assuage a San Diegan's heart from the breakup with mexican food. ;) The boom boom bang sauce is a mix of all the sauces they have... and it's a thumbs up! Tips? Why yes I do have some. Ask for a couple sets of gloves ahead of time, as the kind they give you tend to break while enjoying delicious seafood. Also, I love spicy food. As in, I can hardly find spicy food that actually makes me sniffle. The "hot" was just enough for me. read more

Friends and I came for plateofnations.com. We were immediately greeted and seated. The waiter took time to explain the menu to us newbies. We ordered the fried soft crab & calamari basket, cajun onion rings, and 3 seafood combo. The fried basket was nothing to rave about. The cajun onion rings were nicely battered and fried to a perfection with a kick in flavor. We ordered the 3 seafood combo (crawfish, shrimp, and snow crab) with the Whole Boom Bang sauce with mild spicey. When we ask how spicy the "mild" was, we were told 2.5 stars out of 5. It felt more like a 5 SO BEWARE. I dont even want to know what the crazy hot is like. The shrimp and crab was delicious but i just dont get what the rave around crawfish. Maybe it b/c we had quite a few small crawfish but where the meat? I suggest getting a few french roll to dip in the sauce and order 1lb of seafood per person. I will definitely come back. The food is good and the price is right! I'm glad to have a good eat in walking distance. read more

The restaurant was a lot smaller than I had visioned. We came with a group of nine and took up a good majority of the restaurant. If you have a party larger than 7, we were told that everything has to be on one bill. So cash is smart to have in handy. A few orders were handed to the wrong people. We ordered 10 pounds of crawfish, shrimp, and clams and had to pay almost $300. It's a great experience but probably only a one time thing for us. The crawfish on the other hand were huge! read more

Service was a little slow. My boyfriend had to walk up to the counter to place the order it had taken so long. The food was really good. The combo sauce is bomb lol but the shrimp was not deveined so we didn't eat it. The crab was perfect. Would have liked some more pieces of corn and potatoes for $40 !!!! I'd go back for sure. read more

The Cajun Crawfish - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Seattle, Washington

On a Wednesday night around 8pm, I came here with 4 other people and the waitress wanted to seat us at a 4 person table when the restaurant was pretty empty. We then asked for a bigger table and the girl hesitated but decided to let us sit at the 6 people table. We ordered the seafood special with shrimp and crawfish and several pounds of clams and some Cajun fries. The crawfish was a little over cooked. The fries were basically normal fries with a bit of Cajun powder sprinkled on top. The waitress gave us the bill while we were midway through our meal which I thought was a little strange. And while we were still eating, the waitress asked if we were ready to pay. Umm our hands were still covered in crawfish sauce and we weren't even done eating. read more

The Cajun Crawfish - Clams - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Seattle, Washington

DELICIOUS! I ate here on vacation and did not regret it. We built our own feast and ordered pounds of crawfish, snow crab legs and mussels all in their signature bang-bang sauce and it was amazing. We didn't order any sides since we were expecting them in our steamed bag, but there weren't any. However, I didn't mind since I was full up on the seafood anyway. This is a no frills spot, but very clean and the waitress was attentive and answered all of our questions. They also provide bibs and gloves so you can go about the rest of your day and not smell like fish. read more

Nope. A big bunch of NO. I ordered the crawfish boil with no spice and cajun seasoning as well as a clay boil with no spice and garlic butter. They both came the same with the exception if the mass amounts of garlic in the clams...or should I say clam shells because I probably counted about 6 clams in the 1 pound it was supposed to be. Everything was about a level 2 spice. The crawfish was mushy and smell bad meaning the crawfish was dead before being boiled, something you should not eat. My crawfish had tons of gastroliths in them as well as not being cleaned well, if at all. So disappointed. DO NOT EAT HERE read more
