88 Boiling · Known for Their Legendary Crawfish — And They Still Hold Their Spot to be the best. If there’s one thing 88 Boiling is best known for in our Asian community, it’s their boiled crawfish with the signature 88 special sauce. That’s the dish that put them on the map, and honestly, it’s still one of the reasons this place stays on my Houston seafood list year after year.
I haven’t been back for a little while, so today I ordered to-go just to see if they’re still as consistent as I remember. And the short answer is: yes — whether you dine in or take it home, they don’t fail you.
I ordered 1 lbs of boiled shrimp with the 88 Special and 1 lb with garlic butter. The shrimp today was fresh, firm, and well-cooked (not overdone, which can occasionally happen). The only slight note is a mild muddy taste, but texture and size were exactly right.
The surprise of the day?
Their fried chicken wings.
Even after a 30-minute ride home, they were super crispy — like, “still crunchy through the box” crispy — with juicy meat inside. It’s an American-style batter done well, not too thick, not oily, and for $14.99 with fries for eight big pieces, it’s honestly an incredible deal.
They’re also running a blue crab special right now at $8.99 each, and their blue mussels remain consistently plump, fresh, and not overcooked — which is why I keep coming back to them whenever I want reliable seafood.
The garlic butter sauce today could use a little more actual garlic, but overall, the flavors still hit. And whether it’s fried platters, boiled shrimp, or their famous crawfish, 88 Boiling has a steady quality that’s harder and harder to find these days.
This isn’t a “trend” restaurant — it’s a place that earns loyalty by being good at what it does.
For both boiled and fried seafood, 88 Boiling remains one of my strongest seafood crawfish picks in Houston.

Oysters were ok…. Could have had a better seasoning- like garlic, lemon and Creole seasoning! They were also pretty small. Most gulf oysters are bigger.. i wonder who is their supplier? The crab legs were delicious and cooked, seasoned just right! I will be getting those again! The rice was a good portion and flavored very well! So, I think I may go back! It was my first time there and I can’t say I was disappointed because the employees were all kind and friendly! It was very clean also! I could see that by peeking in to kitchen as I walked in

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding my visit to 88 Boiling Restaurant on October 16, 2025. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was not up to standard; it was poorly prepared and not fresh.
I did speak with the management team at the time, and I was informed that a reissue of food was not possible since I could not return the food in person, despite providing photographic evidence of the issues.
I hope that you will take this feedback into consideration to improve the quality of service and food at your establishment. I appreciate your attention to this matter and hope for a better experience in the future.

went to crawfish cafe and 2 hour wait, so googled this spot and headed over – so glad we ended up here! crawfish was awesome – my kiddos loved it, and the fries, potatoes, corn – everything was delicious and service was great! Now one of my top favorites!

We had the crawfish boil with corn, potato, hard boiled egg, and sausage. It was very good! We ate on the patio. Great service! Awesome food for a good price. 88 Boiling did not disappoint!

This place was packed, line was waiting outside the door into the parking lot. This neighborhood crawfish spot is the place to go! Delicious all mixed sauce and they even have corn, potatoes, and sausage to add too. Cajun fries were delicious and so were the fresh oysters! There was no available seating inside so we had to eat outside, and this was in the evening. Only half of the string lights worked outside and our half it was off. The bench attached to the ground was also loose and one of the people at our table almost fell due to the poor infrastructure. The wait, due to it being very busy, was long and service also took a long time. The bathrooms were also completely out of stock with toilet paper and paper towels – which granted we are eating at a seafood place would have somewhere for us to wash and dry our hands properly. I saw that they were taking to-go orders and dine-in orders as well, trying to keep up with everything. Overall, delicious, great crawfish place that I hope to return to but hopefully conditions and unkept sanitation will be improved.

Very good crawfish and fried catfish. We had their house season mix on the crawfish. It is not traditional, but it is very good. Has some garlic and other seasoning. Their crawfish are huge and very taste. I probably would not get the king crab again. They are good, but not worth the money. We will come again for the crawfish. The fried catfish is very good!!
