7Spice — Restaurant in Texas

Ok… I don’t know what seafood eating people left the good reviews but I promise I won’t steer you wrong. Let’s start with what was good, the boudin balls were so delicious! They were fresh and super crispy on the outside, the rice was cooked to perfection. Would definitely go back to order those alone. Now, that crawfish is another subject. They were small, lacked flavor and def taste frozen. In my opinion it taste like salted mop water. I made it clear I would be dining in and all my food was served in to-go containers. I thought this strange but being the only customer in the store at the time I figured this was their way of doing things. 20 minutes later a couple comes in and they were served in silver bowls and had an actual waiter. Not sure if there was miscommunication with my experience. The sauce that they charged me an extra $0.50 didn’t help with the flavor of the crawfish and I ended up just dipping the boudin balls in it and eating it with the corn and potatoes. I did like the boiled eggs! While I was sitting there I saw 3 separate customers with to-go orders come in with complaints. I would compare this crawfish to that at which you would get at a Chinese buffet if I’m just...

I went here with my fiancee at her request. When we entered, the place was empty, but there was clearly a lot of to go orders. We ordered, and our food took quite a while to make, so we had to take it to go rather than eating together. My lady ordered the ezpeel shrimp which came in a bag with corn and potatoes, which i took the time to sample and found to be quite delicious, although if you are like us, wed probably go spicier. I ordered the etoufee and shrimp with cajun fried rice. I gotta tell you, the fried rice, garlic bread, and fried butterfly shrimp were all good, but their roux for their etoufee is what im writing about. It was the ideal color, i like a darker roux, had the classic smooth buttery and kinda nutty flavor, excellently spiced, with a hint of lingering hotness as the other flavors wear off, not as spicy as id go at home, but not many people want all that heat. Ive eaten at some top notch cajun spots in NoLa as well as in Galveston, gumbo and etoufee are my go tos, if i dont have etoufee as my main, i get gumbo for my soup. And that was AN EXCELLENT ROUX. This is my first visit, i hope i can get good...

This use to be my favorite place but the customer service had been going down the drain most employees know be by my name or when my number pop up but lately there has been new people working and it’s been very difficult to deal with for 1 I call and I go straight to voicemail then I call again and not even a hello just someone picks up and places me on hold( very disrespectful) then picks up after 5 minutes on hold tells me they are going to place me back on hold before I can completely say no I’m on hold again I only have a 30 minute lunch I do understand there will be a wait but that is why I’m calling also is why they should take the orders as soon as possible so the cook can have them and know how much to make I am starting to have bad experience at this location back to back now and It’s making me not choose 7 spice anymore when I think of food IM FED UP I don’t even want to finish the review and as I finish this off I’m still on hold I might as well...
