I can totally see why people are confused when they walk in Flamin' Crawfish. The decor is definitely more Red Lobster/Joe's Crab Shack than Vietnamese...but the menu is all Vietnamese-inspired. This review is actually for the Banh Mi sandwiches available at their in-house MyTea counter (to further add to the confusion.) It's no Le's Sandwiches, but the proximity and lack of off-roading/zombie apocalypse definitely improves things.
Ordered a grilled pork banh mi to-go at lunch time. Waited about 10 minutes, but they had toasted the roll which was a nice touch. Some bites of the pork was a little fatty, but otherwise it was a great sandwich. I liked the addition of thinly sliced cucumber, not something that you find everywhere.
My husband was hoping for a shrimp po-boy (before I told him that Flamin' Crawfish WASN'T a Cajun restaurant), but after looking at their menu they really should offer one, because one of the appetizers is popcorn shrimp and the roll would be perfect.
We'll probably be back for sandwiches again, but I think we'll save our crawfish eating for outdoor springtime boils.
