I spied the word "Crawfish"... And did a hockey stop in the middle of Buford Highway. WTF is a Cajun joint doing in the middle of Chambodia? Mebbe the Vietnamese owners wanted to be the first to catch the wave of Viet-Cajun mudbug nosheries that's popping up everywhere in California.
This place has no menu, just some tiny chalkboard with chicken scratch on it. No po'boys, jambalaya, red beans and rice, gumbo or etouffee... Just mudbugs, shrimp, catfish, tilapia and oysters along with a bunch of Zatarain's products and Asian drinks.
What surprised me was how tastee it was. The mudbugs were fat, juicy and flavorful. The boil seasoning was spot on... I could bathe in it. The fried catfish and jumbo shrimp were on point too. The catfish's cornmeal crust had just the right amount of seasoning and flaky and tender iniside. The fried jumbo shrimp were light and crispy. Basically no batter and all flavor. I ate it tail and all. Yum. The crinkle cut fwies were the brown bag garden variety but they were super crispy at least.
If they they get po'boys on the menu with that tastee jumbo shrimp matched with the right crusty bread, this could be a winner. Until then... They only get 3 stars for the very limited menu.
