'Boiling Crawfish' restaurant

[Adams454]

There is a place, on 120 just east of Tavern 120. It's a little hole in the wall seafood shop/restaurant. I think it's Vietnamese owned. I used to stop by there on the way home and pickup 2 lbs of boiled crawfish and 1lb of large shrimp and for $3 extra, he would throw in corn and potatoes. The whole thing was $23. Yum!!! I can never remember the name of the place though, it's right behind a TitleMax in a tiny plaza.

Are you talking about the little place right next door to Kroger at east lake? I've had a couple shrimp po boys from that shop and they were edible. But the shrimp were a little small and bready.

I walked in once and it was staffed by all Asians. I tried to ask where they got their crawfish from. I got a blank stare and then something that sounded like "I seat you now?"

Scratch that off the list, then...

The wife and I went there once, I'm guessing a year or two ago. Not bad food but overpriced for what you got, if I remember correctly.

I'm just gonna wait for my fix until we go back for my wife's birthday trip this summer. Going to spend a week at Grand Isle catching fish and blue crabs right off the beach.

My litmus is the crawfish etoufee. I don't know why either because despite Herculean efforts I've yet to find one remotely palatable outside of home.

I made my first batch of etoufee a couple of weeks ago (been craving some for a long time). It was shrimp etoufee, but I thought it turned out pretty darn good!

Haven't eaten there but saw this place which is a few blocks going south. What's up with Buford Hwy and a sudden influx of C-Aysians? lol

Everybody wants to be Cajun or Alaskan these days...any day now, I'm expecting to see a new reality show called "Cajun-Alaskan State Troopers". LOL!

Not the same place, this place is not near a Krogers. It looks more like a seafood market, but they have 4 to 5 tables, and they will cook the seafood for you if you want to eat there.

The only two places that seem to be authentic with good reviews are so danged far away I've not made it to either place yet.

I may just have to suck up the drive and do it.

made the long ass journey up to henrys on tuesday.........total disappointment. i even left them a review. i gave them 3 stars, and that was only because the service we got from our waitress was outstanding.....the food fell flat.......

if i based it off of their food, they would have only gotten a 1 star.

it was at about 3 in the afternoon.....if they can't nail it off peak time, i doubt they would have done any better during a rush.

no where does it say he's cajun/creole, from Louisiana, or even been........learned how to cook in atlanta and likes cajun food, neither are good qualifiers......i'll hold onto my doubts about this one too
