"Viet-Cajun crawfish is a distinctly Houston dish, and there’s no better place to find it than this James Beard Award-nominated spot in Asiatown. Big, juicy mudbugs tossed in a spicy, buttery, garlicky sauce will have even skeptical crawfish newbies coming back for more. Though crawfish is the most obvious order, other dishes like the basil fried rice, pho, and fried seafood options — namely, the salt-pepper crab and shrimp, are worthy options. If you can’t make it to Asiatown, try the restaurant’s new outpost in the Houston Farmers Market in the Heights." - Brittany Britto Garley
