Wonderful, small, family owned boil house located in a retail strip. The unassuming facade fronts a true gem. Every time we go, it's patrons reflect a diverse crowd ordering crawfish, seafood and even wings. The service is always friendly and customer oriented. Been there dozens of times and take out about a half dozen more. Mostly go there for the fresh crawfish during season. My dining partner loves the garlic butter style, so I can"t talk too much about their cajun style. All are available in mild, medium,spicy and EXTRA spicy. Both styles are served in a bag of seasoning with metal trays not the usual plastic tray. That also means it comes out so fresh and hot that we have to pause while it cools. Ok. Iied... we don't pause, we just dig in and burn our fingers cause we can't wait. Had the fried catfish once, it was flavorful, but a teeny tiny pinch on the under done side. At least one owner is Bi- lingual english and spanish. They also have fried rice, some other asian inspired dishes along with American, Mexican and Asian beers. Truly melting pot boil house that reflects Houston so well.

2 stars cause the service was bad when I went there. Went on my launch break and I ordered a pound of clams with their spicy sauce for an appetizer and their seafood fried rice. The clams with the sauce tasted really good. The fried rice was however very dry. I did request if I can get some extra of the spicy sauce used for the clams on the side and I was told they don’t do that. I even offered to pay for the extra sauce and they still refused. I have been to a lot of seafood places and I have never had a problem with such a request. Could not finish my dry rice lol. Hopefully they improve their customer service besides that their seafood boil taste food just don’t order their extremely dry fried rice.

The food was really good! The snow crabs were big! Crawfish were big also! Garlic butter sauce was really delicious, and you can get it in many spice levels! My nice says they have been consistently delicious for years! The fried rice was good also= I got the combination one= crawfish, small size hrimp etc, it was good! As a side. They do give you a tray/ gloves, plenty napkins. The attendant/ servant was not happy, lol. He seemed to be alone! Not much servant charm <---, but he did bring everything you asked, lol. There was a wait for the food! It seems to be prepared on order! But it is SO FRESH & GOOD!

That crab boil bag was Remarkably-Outstandingly-Awe-Inspiring GOOD! OMG. They deserve 20 STARS after what I just ate. And I have NEVER said or thought that about any restaurant that I've reviewed.

1.)They have the BEST sauce I've ever had in a seafood boil bag, and trust me I am a very tough critic, because the sauce is what really makes the bag. It was OUTSTANDING! Thank you to who ever invented that sauce, because that sauce is UNMATCHED! I had the Medium garlic butter sauce. Fyi it was hotter than expected and my nose started running, BUT I couldn't stop, it was too amazing to stop. 2.) They also have the BEST shrimp I've ever had in a seafood bag. The shrimp was so fresh. And they weren't small/medium sized either they were Colossal! And tasted wonderful. 3.) I immediately wanted to take that 20 minute drive back to order another bag, but I didn't want to look greedy LoL.. I'm sure I'll return within a week though. 4.) I only paid $27 for 1/2 lb of snow crab, shrimp, crawfish & sausage, corn, and an egg that was tossed in remarkably good sauce. What a great deal.

Their customer service was outstanding too. When I called to place the order, the guy politely helped me order and offered a customized bag. All in all they have a LOYAL customer in me. I don't even want to try another seafood place after trying them out. Expect to see me plenty in the...

Spacious plaza with plenty of parking. This place is still a bit fresh, offering A variety of Korean dishes. The fried seafood platter was my favorite. It came with fried calamari, fried oysters, onion rings, and French fries. The fried oysters were spot on. Good enough to share with 5+ people. Also came with 3 different sauces, but I didn't think it was needed.

The crawfish was decent price at about $8 per lb. Two flavors of Louisiana or garlic butter. You can pick your level of spicy. I chose garlic butter spicy instead of extra spicy. Careful on extra spicy. The seasonings on the crawfish were good and flavorful. The crawfish was also at good size at this time of the season.

Some other items to fill up your tummy are their fried rice and spicy seafood noodles. The spicy seafood noodles can feed about 3 people. It was filled with seafood, noodles, veggies, and one spicy broth. This item came last and it was a struggle to finish since we were already so full on the food. Overall, services were good. If we needed anything, then it was brought to us. Our party had a...
