Reviews
Owner is pretty awesome and the staff were great also! Im happy I got there when I did the open sign was off which threw me off a tad and no cars were there, but I pulled in and saw life inside! So I knew the wait would not be bad. It was a little wait probably cause they make the sauce in the back and other magically techniques that left my lemon grass cajun pepper crawfish so delicious delightful and decadent! Definitely going back again soon!
Decided on a few pounds of crawfish just to get a teaser of the different flavors offered. There were four different flavors to choose from (garlic butter, spicy garlic butter, lemongrass & cajun peppers, and savage style) with an upcharge per pound varying the flavor chosen. As of the beginning of April 2023, regular crawfish was $5lb. I opted for the basic garlic butter and the lemongrass & cajun peppers flavors. There was a longer wait for them because they’re made to order. You can hear them working the wok while you wait. I did like how they came in foil trays to keep them hot but it was a hassle carrying them because they got too hot on the bottom. I wonder if they’re still served as so with larger amounts ordered? Either way, the crawfish quality was great, nicely sized. Sadly, the flavors didn’t meet my expectations. I was expecting incredible flavors to hopefully be up-to-par or even better than a few other nearby competitors. However, it was a little let down. Ok, maybe not a little but a BIG let down. The garlic butter didn’t have enough garlic flavor, and even though the crawfish was tossed in it, the garlic chunks were the only things stuck on the shell. You had to dunk the tail meat into the butter to taste it, in which it tasted purely of butter only. I liked the lemongrass & cajun peppers flavor better as it had a little more kick and flavor but still not a WOW factor. Here’s the downfall..the crawfish were not thoroughly cooked. Maybe because they were large sized and boiled per order, the meat were still translucent and clear. The ones that were filled with the orange “fats” in them were also still translucent, clear, watery, and stringy. Stopped me right in my tracks. I ate probably almost halfway into the two trays I had before it started going downhill. Did I had the runs for hours upon hours? Yes! So disappointed.
Anyways, I also tried their shrimp on bun and their shrimp fettuccine. The shrimp were nicely battered and generously portioned. As for the fettuccine special, I’d pass it. A little oily and the shrimp were not deveined. So, if you’re one of those people who get grossed out by seeing and knowing the vein is still present, go ahead and skip out on all of the shrimp items. These items were long done before the crawfish were, so they weren’t as hot when I got down the street. The owner apologized and stated that the Viet-Cajun flavored crawfish had to be boiled and then tossed to order, so it took much longer. So make sure you factor some waiting time into your visit.
I really wanted to like this place. They’re fairly new and are still slow but I hope they’ll be able to gain more business in the future, especially when the gas station opens up.
