“ The experience of this restaurant was great, but I'm taking points off of the cheese sticks and crawfish. There's no burst of flavor in the crawfish and the cheese sticks is still cold after fried. Other than that the service is great. ”
“ First review of 2025 goes to Ocean Crawfish! I've been eying this place for a while now but finally got around to trying it tonight. Had some family from out of town visiting for the holidays and she loves this stuff. They offer a variety of fresh seafood, cooked traditional Vietnamese style. My favorite by far was the razor clams with roasted garlic. I could eat a whole plate myself. The garlic butter crawfish was solid as well, but come here for the speciality snails/oysters/clams/etc. Best in town when it comes to these dishes. The food comes out surprisingly fast! They turn over tables quick. Definitely coming back. FYI it's a drinking spot so it can get loud! ”
“ The foods are the best taste, fresh with super good cooking. They have so crowded of staff, quickly serve & supportive in nice ambiance. We had them support to celebrate Birthday in the restaurant, they're willing to make it surprise with music and off lighting The price is a little high than average ”
“ Heard this place gets packed on weekends. Decided to go on a weekday for dinner. The interior of Ocean Crawfish is decorated like you're inside a boat. Until 11/22/24, there's a special where some dishes are only $9 each! Crazy price for the food quality! Service was quick. Pay at the counter once you're done eating. Complimentary lettuce but it was just ok, nothing unique. Ordered 3 dishes: rau muong xao toi (stir-fried morning glory with garlic), grilled oysters (10pc), and garlic fried squid All were delicious! There was something really addicting about the fried garlic bits with oil in the squid dish. Will go back in the future to try other dishes! ”
“ Oh my goodness! A total flavor bomb. So glad we gave this spot a try. We drove 3 hours away to eat food in Houston and this place definitely made the drive worth it! Everything was so flavorful. My favorites were the crab legs and the sate chili oil snails. The sauces were so buttery, had the perfect blend of sweet and savory. I literally wanted to take home the leftover sauce to cook rice in! We also enjoyed the cheese scallops too! Food came out very quickly. Nice staff. It was pretty spacious inside, casual vibe. There was no wait since we got there around 3pm. ”
“ If you're wanting a seafood fix, this is a great spot! Good service, everyone that helped us was friendly. Our party dug into the apps so no pics. We had gotten the fried gator, fried fish, and boudin balls. They all came with fries. Everything came out piping hot but deliciously seasoned and perfectly fried. Entrees: -Oyster house special (huge oysters with Tabasco and pico) -Grilled oysters with cheese (as cheese lovers, it was a hit) -Grilled mussels with onion fat (our fav, the fat added the extra savoriness) -Grilled scallop with quail egg (eggs overcooked on the hot tray so recommend eating asap) -Grilled finger clams with green onion butter We enjoyed all the grilled seafood. They came out fresh and sizzling. Every flavor was a hit Not pictured: garlic butter crawfish (4/5) There was no shortage of garlic. There was a stronger orange flavor which I can see other people enjoying but I prefer a stronger garlic butter flavor with my crawfish. Overall, would definitely recommend if you're wanting good Vietnamese-style seafood! ”
“ How this place doesn't have 5 stars with 5000+ reviews is beyond me. My friend wanted to go here, I checked Yelp reviews (3.5 stars) and was thinking "mehhh", but I went with them anyway. And OMG this is by far the best restaurant in Houston. Fresh seafood and very affordable price, checked. Well seasoned seafood fried rice and noodles, checked. It's a seafood restaurant but the non-seafood dishes are also great. the food comes out SUPER fast, checked. All servers are friendly, checked. What else to ask for? This is really a rare find. I'll for sure go back here every time I'm in Houston ”
