| - Interesting place here - they are tucked away in a little courtyard that almost makes them a challenge to find - good thing they have a sign out front or you probably wouldn't know that they are there at all.
Once inside, it looks like they are a cajun seafood (clam, crab, crawfish, etc) joint, but once you sit down, they turn into a Vietnamese place - the menu has banh mi, bun, pho and other choices. Definitely right up my alley.
We ordered some snow crab legs and crawfish, as well as a banh mi to go with it. Not long after, the crab came out, followed by a nice-sized bag of crawfish, and finally the banh mi. Though we asked for the garlic butter, and it looked like there was garlic in it, it was really more of a cajun garlic, not that there is anything wrong with that. Just realize it has a bit of a kick to it, so if you don't want it, ask for regular butter instead.
The crawfish were tasty, and a few of them even produced a bit of goodies when you sucked the head - though most were dry you could still get a good taste of the spices used. Make sure you ask for extra wet naps, these babies are messy.
Once they were all gone, the banh mi made for a nice way to cool down the mouth, even with the sliced jalapeno on it. Must have been the bread. The pork was some of the tastiest I've had, though the slices were a little large and they ended up pulling out of the rest of the sandwich - a little smaller slices or being a bit more tender would have worked better!
