    The food here was AMAZING! I'm from the south so I have pretty high standards for seafood boils, but this place raised the bar even higher! Everything was perfectly cooked and the seasoning was on point! The service was 10/10. Our drinks were never empty, our discard trays emptied every couple minutes, and we were constantly checked on. Our servers name was Tony, and he was awesome!

    I've been coming here a lot lately, and honestly, it's just really good. If you have no self control or are trying not to gain 10 pounds, you might want to think twice before coming in because it's hard to stop once you start. The house special sauce is the real star. It's packed with flavor and really takes everything to the next level. The Vietnamese Cajun seafood boil overall is super satisfying messy, bold, and exactly what you want when you're craving something rich and indulgent. Definitely one of those spots that keeps you coming back if you're in the mood for a seafood boil.

    The food is typical crawfish and crab spot, that is comparable to any other place. Nothing stood out. The service was a young energetic staff. They could have been a little bit more attentive. The restaurant is small so a little loud and busy. With reservations there was still an hour wait. Food is basically basic seafood and everything is a la carte. You have to pay extra for corn, sausage, and potatoes. Those items are so cheap and should be included but unfortunately not. The amount of corn was 3 small pieces. Sausage was about a half a sausage. They sausage is necessary to add flavor to the seafood. It's as if the seasoning chosen was added after the steam.

    Great food and fast service! I ordered take out online after stopping at Trader Joe's nearby during my layover. I got the crab fried rice and my friend got the house fried rice. After getting the take out, we just decided to eat in since it would be better than eating at the airport. Wait staff was very accommodating and even gave us waters. The portions for the fried rice were HUGE! All 4 of us were so full afterwards. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in Seattle!

    There was a crawfish spot in Seattle that had been my favorite spot for many years. But the last time I tried that place, the flavor totally changed and was not as good as it had always been. And a couple people who also loved that place said this place was really good, so I believed them, and been wanting to try this place for a while. And then I actually tried the location in Stanton, CA first just last month, and really enjoyed it, so when friends invited us out for dinner here, I happily accepted. I got the same thing as that last time: a pound of head-on shrimp and a pound of green mussels in the Hut Special sauce at the Flaming spice level. I didn't find it that spicy, but the flavor was still really good. We all really enjoyed our boils. Staff was friendly, and service was great.

    Cocktail forgot the name but delicious!

    Crave-able crawfish and crab!! My new favorite seafood boil restaurant! My friends and had a great time. We enjoyed some tasty drinks, and shared the crab fries, a combo boil with crab, crawfish, and shrimp with their house hut sauce medium spice. It was all really delicious! Their sauce was exactly what I want in a seafood boil, and the crab fries were perfect. The restaurant is cute and clean. It's very bright and inviting. The staff were all friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I would definitely recommend you to fulfill your seafood boil cravings at Crawfish Hut, try some of their yummy appetizers, or grab some drinks!

    I'm so glad a crawfish place that's good opened up near my house. Though it can be dangerous as it is so close! I've been here a handful of times already and it is hands down the best crawfish place I've been to in Seattle. First off, there was never a time where it was too busy that I had to wait, though there were times I did see a line after I was sat. So do make a reservation on a weekend if you come. There is also a lot of parking outside which is a plus. The service here is always quick and attentive. All the drinks I've gotten here are also good in terms of taste and alcohol content. The crawfish and the sauce / spice is so gooood. They also have certain days where they have specials as well too! The only thing is crawfish is always so expensive. Whenever I come here, my portion is almost always $100. Though that is normal with every crawfish place, crawfish definitely isn't a place to eat often.

    I ordered combo 3 adding boiled egg and sausage. I chose Hut Special sauce for it. Very flavorful, I liked it a lot!! I really liked that the shrimp was clean and de-veined! The only thing is that I wish the sauce was a little less salty, I eat very salty but this is a bit too much, and the bottom it gets, the saltier it is too, so if you can adjust this it would be perfect!!! Also ordered garlic fries on the side and it was pretty good as well The service is very efficient and friendly! I would definitely come back :)

    Delicious. Great flavor on the "hut" sauce. Unfortunately, we had some wussies in the group, so we got a big mild combo for everyone. So my biggest complaint is I wish it was a tad spicier. Everything was scrumptious, and I would peg most of the catches as being on the larger end, including the mussels and crab legs. I did find the umami of the crawfish to be somewhat superior to the shrimp here. There was a bit of sand in the mussels, but I forgive you. I will note that a lot of the food had hard shells requiring some cracking, but all we had initially were some very dull shears. Fried rice was good, but not a good pairing for the seafood. That's not to say that it's bad, just that white rice or noodles is more fitting, as most Asians should be able to attest to. This rice actually does have scallop and crawfish. However, the flavor is still rather muted in comparison. The fries had a good texture has well. The nuance of its crispiness reminded me slightly of checkers fries. I do think these would be better with a tad more seasoning of some kind.

    This is the best seafood boil I've tried in the seattle area. I went on valentines for dinner and they had live jazz which was super fun!! I was most surprised by how good the scallops were, they just melted in my mouth. The hut special sauce was great, we got mild which didn't have any spice. I would definitely try a spicy sauce. I also enjoyed the shrimp and the green mussels. I wish they used smaller potatoes and included more of them. Overall, the servers were really nice and attentive. I will definitely be coming back!

    Service is kind and fast. Flavors were great for the house special, maybe a bit more garlic would be nice but everything else was good! Loved dipping fries and having rice with the sauce. Adding sausage felt like a ripoff. Probably 6 pieces was max a whole sausage maybe even half of one cut up. Should give more if they're charging $4. Loved having the bibs and gloves. One of the better viet cajun seafood places out there! Fun ambiance too

    Glad we gave it a chance again from 2 years ago; tonight we were definitely blown away from how delicious the seafood was! Service was good and deals as well. No complaints here and we definitely want to come back again! The sauce was perfectly sweet and garlicky like how we like it. The hut sauce was a bit spicy but good heat to it. The sauces taste different from before in a better way and thicker even. Even my cousins that don't usually enjoy eating crawfish want to come back again. They had good deals tonight too; $14 a lb of crawfish. The oyster was ok probably won't get again. The new renovation was also a nice touch and a big difference since I first came here. I didn't even get to take photos today because we all finished the food so quickly !

    We had a great experience with their crab boil. The hut special sauce (we got mild, not spicy at all and I have a low spice tolerance) was absolutely delicious and so flavorful. We were dipping our fries in it. Their raw oysters were really tasty too! It was a lively ambience but not too loud. They have TVs if you want to catch a game.

    The last time that I came here was in 2015. I gave this 3 stars. For this review, if I had to…read moreselect a title it would be "disappointment". My husband and I were visiting the Burien Farmer's Market and decided to stop in for lunch here. The day before our area experienced a heat wave. Apparently this effected this place of business. There were fans going everywhere, no a/c in place; I was hesitant to enter and I should have gone with my instincts. It wasn't awful so that we couldn't stand it, so we stayed. We had a very friendly waitress, wish I could remember her name but she was very good. I ordered a peach tea and my husband ordered a cider, I believe it was pineapple and another fruit based. I ordered the Ahi Taco Wrap and my husband ordered the Luna Fish and Chips. My husband's drink arrived with an apology from another server as she poured the wrong drink for him. He was gracious and took it anyway. Out come our plates. I tasted my husbands fish and found it seriously lacking in flavor; nothing great here. Now let's get to my Ahi wrap; I had serious issues with this.This includes tuna, avocado, cilantro lime coleslaw with chipotle aioli and lime on the side. House made chips and salsa were included. The wrap was hugely disappointing. The ratio of tuna to coleslaw was seriously off. 90 percent of this wrap was coleslaw. The chips weren't fresh and the salsa was just ok, had a sweet type of base, which I don't like in my salsa. The lime included was stale and I couldn't get a drop out of this. The chipotle was so so. The coleslaw had no distinctive cilantro lime flavor. This dish was entirely disappointing and priced at 19.95. Never again. My husband's dish had two pieces of fish and was priced at 18.50. So after the cost of the drinks, the meal was over 60. Shame on us for a few things: 1. For not looking closely at the prices 2. And for most importantly, for simply not grabbing a decently priced hot dog at the farmers market. I'm positive this would have been better and a better deal. We will not be back to this place. The only reason I gave this a one star was for the waitress and the peach tea. Seriously.

Services is okay. They always seem to struggle with service, regardless of how busy the place is. But they are nice. Ambience is what you'd expect at a place like this. Nothing spectacular, but not dirty. I would love if they had a better ventilation system. The friend smells and spices are extremely strong! Overall, a solid restaurant, but if you're looking for a place with high quality seafood, may want to find another spot.

    Came here craving a seafood boil and overall, this was the best one I've had so far!…read moreThe clams were fresh, the crab legs were meaty, the headless shrimp were perfectly cooked, and I loved the addition of eggs and potatoes to soak up all that sauce. The lobster was unfortunately an overcooked, but everything else in the boil was so good that it made up for it. Speaking of the sauce -- it was SO good. We got to choose our sauce and spice level, and it had the perfect balance of flavor, spice, and heat without overpowering the seafood. It complemented everything really well. We also ordered the calamari. It was crispy, but the batter was a bit heavy and could've used more seasoning.

    This was, by far, the worst dining experience I've ever had…read more The only thing we genuinely enjoyed was the popcorn crawfish appetizer with the spicy mayo dipping sauce. Unfortunately, everything after that went downhill. I ordered a seafood boil with Manila clams and shrimp, and both were undercooked. The shrimp had that soft, mushy, almost translucent texture instead of being firm with the slight snap that properly cooked shrimp should have. Every bite was unpleasant, and I couldn't bring myself to eat it. The Manila clams were even worse. They were covered in a slimy coating that made them feel unappetizing the moment I picked them up. The texture alone was enough to make me stop eating them, but the taste was just as bad. Instead of tasting fresh, sweet, and briny, they had an unpleasant flavor that made me question whether they had been prepared properly. I couldn't finish them. To make matters worse, there were gnats flying around our booth throughout the entire meal, especially all along the booth panels where my cousin and I were sitting. It made the restaurant feel unclean and completely took away from the dining experience. When we brought the undercooked seafood to the manager's attention, we were given two options: they could take the food back and "put it back in the water" to cook it longer, or we could take it home and cook it ourselves in exchange for a discount. Since we had already started eating and didn't feel comfortable having our meal simply thrown back into the pot, we chose to take it home and finish cooking it ourselves. The "discount" ended up being just $10.99. For a meal that wasn't properly cooked and that I literally had to finish cooking at home, that resolution felt completely inadequate. I paid to dine at a restaurant, not to go home and prepare my own meal. On top of the food quality issues, the customer service was disappointing. There was very little effort to make the situation right, and the way the complaint was handled felt dismissive. I usually drive an hour to Captain Crab because I've always had consistently great experiences there. I decided to try somewhere different this time, and it was a mistake. This experience reminded me why I don't mind making the drive. I won't be returning.

They also sell high quality pork, beef, chicken, and other things in the freezer like sausage, duck, cheese. They also have pretty nicely priced wines for sale, from low $10s and up. Whites, reds, and bubblies. Highly recommend you make the side-tour to this joint for salmon. A fish dressed to impress that will win you praises.
