Always a great time when coming here. Food is always on point with the flavors! Only downside is the children yelling and screaming, but you can’t really help the issue when it’s other customers children.. Other than that chefs kiss!!

Crawfish Kingdom and Other Delicious Fairy Tales Once upon a time, deep in the flavorful heart of Houston’s Wilcrest jungle, my tastebuds stumbled upon Cajun Kitchen—a magical realm ruled by spice, steam, and the almighty crawfish. We summoned 10 glorious pounds of the Cajun Kitchen special crawfish (because when the deal is buy 5 lbs., get 1 free, you go big or go hungry). These little crustacean kings were soaked in flavor, kissed by heat, and absolutely crowned the meal. If crawfish had a prom, these would be voted royalty. But lo! The tale does not end there. A fried catfish & shrimp basket arrived, golden and crisp like something handed down from Poseidon’s personal fryer. The seafood fried rice could’ve stolen the spotlight if the crawfish hadn’t already thrown a parade. Raw oysters—cool and briny—balanced the heat, and the basil soup came in like a wise wizard: unexpected, soothing, and oddly poetic. The decor is humble, the vibe casual, but the flavor? Pure culinary folklore. Would I return? Absolutely. I’m already planning my next quest. Bring your appetite, and maybe a bib. You’re gonna need it.

Service was excellent. Food was great. You can tell this team coordinates with each other and are pretty attentive. Will be coming back, thanks for hosting my family of 8 for my sisters birthday.

Came here with a friend last week and had a great dinner. They only had Jumbo size, but they did have a special, buy 6 lbs get one free @10/lbs. Not a great selection on beers (only light beer), but they were pretty cheap at 4. I had the Thai basil with corn and potatoes. The atmosphere was great and the service was also good as well. No gloves or bibs are offered here, so you should bring your own if you need those things. Overall I was pretty satisfied, but prefer large or medium sized options and I also enjoy IPA beer so probably not my first choice when it comes to a crawfish bar. Thanks for having us I still enjoyed the experience!

Hands down got the best Thai basil crawfish in town. IMO. I always come here every season and it never disappoints. Crawfish was packed with flavors and soo citrusy.

The crawfish is so good wth took me so long to come try. Might be my new spot for crawfish. I tried the kitchen special and Thai basil but I kept gravitating toward the kitchen flavor. My group asked for our garlic noodles to be made spicy and they did not play omg. We all took one bite and chugged all of our waters. Mind you we are all avid spice eaters and we could not finish. But we also asked for our crawfish to be spicy and that wasn’t spicy. Overall, everything was tasty. I can’t wait to come back

I came here today with my family, and it's such a lovely place. We ordered some crawfish, garlic noodle, and a variety of appetizers. The food is absolutely delicious, with perfect textures and delightful flavors. Huge thanks to Susan and Tyler for their recommendations and excellent service, even though the restaurant was incredibly busy. We'll definitely be comming back. Keep up the fantastic work, guys!
