When we headed to Houston and drove downtown to Blazin Cajun Crawfish for the best-boiled seafood – I was ecstatic.
I’ve always wanted to try Cajun cuisine!
The best part of my USA trip had Louisiana style Cajun cuisine right here in Houston, Texas.
We are digging in with our hands – the best way to eat a seafood dinner!

I remembered watching a video of Boiling 10,000 Crawfish!!!
Epic Louisiana Crawfish Throw Down in Cajun Country!!

Delicious Oysters!

How is the food prepared?
As usual, I chatted up with the chef and got a tour of the kitchen.
A simple setup with lots of savory powdered spices.
There is a huge pot where all the seafood is put to boil.
Everything is done from scratch to ensure the highest quality, freshness, and unique, bold flavors.
Chef Chad tells me that their Ranch Sauce is homemade from scratch!
Back home in Malaysia, I’m reduced to using a sorry Kraft’s Buttermilk Ranch Dressing.
I tell you; the difference is a whole nine yards!
That’s how the seafood is cooked. – over a rolling boil with Cajun spices!
Blazin Cajun Crawfish Review
When we step foot into Blazin Cajun Crawfish, we experience a clean, modern restaurant.
Top customer service-oriented environment.
The owner, staff, and chef are friendly and smiling all the time.
They do their best to keep the food and drinks coming fast and hot.
Overall, customer experience and satisfaction are very high.
The owner sings Karaoke with the customers into the night.
When we were in Houston, we dined at this fantastic restaurant three nights that week.
So, I believe this speaks volumes of the freshness of the seafood.
We loved the rich traditional Cajun flavors in all Chef Chad’s dishes and will defiantly drop in again my next trip to Houston.
