Cajun Crawfish #1 | Our Story
Houston's crawfish destination since day one
Our road to a World-Class Viet-Cajun Restaurant started in 2012 right here in Houston, Texas. As is the case in many kitchens, our sauce recipes are closely guarded secrets, and even something as relatively simple sounding as our “garlic butter” may contain upwards of 15 or more ingredients ranging from the obvious inclusions to finely chopped garlic, cayenne peppers, and roasted onions.
The crawfish
The crawfish here is boiled in a signature Cajun spice, which allows the flavors to soak into the head and tail meat before the crawfish are tossed in a bath of garlicky, spice-infused butter.
We are regarded as one of the most popular Cajun Crawfish restaurants in North Houston, where locals are ordering up mounds of crawfish coated in secret garlic butter or tossed in white onions, scallions, and other traditional additions. We encourage you to stop by and meet us.
Houston Chronicle recognition
The Houston Chronicle named Cajun Crawfish #1 one of the best places for mudbugs in north Houston — a real nod in one of the country's most competitive crawfish markets.
The experience
Paper towel rolls on the table, aluminum trays piled high — a no-frills room where families settle in and crack into their orders without pretense.
Two locations, one standard
From Veterans Memorial to the Humble–Atascocita location, both kitchens hold to the same standard — bold Cajun flavors, generous portions, and a crowd that keeps showing up.
