Crawfish & Noodles
Signature Vietnamese-Cajun crawfish restaurant in Little Saigon, open since 2008, featured on Parts Unknown and Ugly Delicious.
Located in the Little Saigon shopping center at 11360 Bellaire Blvd, this restaurant is run by James Beard Award semifinalist chef Trong Nguyen and his family, and has been a benchmark for Vietnamese-Cajun cooking since 2008. The signature crawfish is stir-fried with imported French butter, garlic and house-made spices. Salt-and-pepper blue crab, fish sauce chicken wings and salt-and-pepper shrimp are also popular. The restaurant has appeared on Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown, Netflix's Ugly Delicious and Top Chef. Reservations can be made on Resy, and weekends get crowded during crawfish season. It is about 20 km from downtown, so you will need a car.
