| - To whoever decided to put a Vietnamese/Cajun Fusion place in a spot that looks like it could have been a decent pizza parlor, kudos.
First off, don't let the "fusion" throw you off. It's basically two separate menus.
My girlfriend and I went on Valentine's Day, went in around 9 PM and was still decently busy. Market specials were posted near host stand so it's the first thing you see when you walk in. Sit down, drink orders taken (I'm buzzed as hell since we just left Tiki Hideaway beforehand) so I go with water.
Menus are placed, and we hit this moment of shock, like what the hell is going on?
It's one big menu. Flip it over on one side for lunch, other side for dinner. You see asian plates and cajun plates. None of them "fusion" of any kind. They literally have Vietnamese style foods AND Cajun style foods.
Girlfriend orders the Beef Pasta stir fry. Never seen stir fry with noodles before. Really interesting combination. I order 1 pound of Crawfish and 1 pound of King Crab Legs.
Food comes out, they also give you a trash bin, a plastic bib for yourself, the weird tongs that don't do much to break the legs, and the bags of steamed seafood.
The food was surprisingly great quality. I love going to the coast and getting seafood there because I know it's for sure fresh. Always iffy getting it inland, but these guys did fresh pretty well. Crawfish were about 32 pieces for 1 pound. Essentially, one person can't finish it by themselves especially if they have just killed a pound of crab legs.
If you're in a killer craving for crawdads, shrimp, crab legs, or even clams/mussels, you've found the right place. Nowhere near amazing quality you'll get in coastal areas, but far beyond my expectations in a land filled with Red Lobster/Joes Crab Shack. You're in for a weird roller coaster ride of a treat.
