South x Saigon

I would rate this spot a 3.3/5 stars. My friends and I went for the crawfish deal that was mentioned throughout the reviews we read (the 5 lbs for $40) but unfortunately it’s no longer a thing so just a heads up! I believe it ended up being $9.99/pound. We all got 2 lbs of crawfish with the house special sauce w/corn, potatoes, and sausage. For appetizers, we got the wings (garlic parmesan and lemon pepper) and the BTN. The wings were hot, crispy, and juicy! The flavors were on the faint side but it was still enjoyable. The BTN was delicious- crispy/chewy rice paper with savory toppings (a must try)! As for the crawfish… it was unfortunately waaaay too salty. I’m usually the type to easily destroy 2 lbs of crawfish but I struggled hard to finish this one. Every bite required you to chug

The crawfish & shrimp boil sauce was so hella good. It does not disappoint at all. Just trust 💯 The pasta, fries, & boudin balls was a hit too, if the seafood boil isn't your cup of tea. Everything was so good, we had to order to go to have our kids try all this goodness.

I came here last year when I visited Houston and had great crawfish, so I had to come back again. This time, my friend was told the crawfish were fresh, but they definitely didn’t taste like it, the flavor and texture were off, and it wasn’t what you’d expect from “fresh” crawfish. On top of that, this was the first time I’ve ever been charged extra per pound for sauce. Not only was the extra fee surprising, but the sauce itself was way too sweet and didn’t complement the crawfish at all. Overall, pretty disappointing. For the price, I expected much better quality.

1/3/26- Updated review- This was my second visit to South by Saigon, and it was much better than my first visit. I ordered 3 lbs of crawfish in the Traditional Cajun and Garlic Butter flavors, with sausage, plus an order of boudin balls. Since it's very early in the season, the crawfish were mostly on the small side, which I expected. That being said, the flavor was poppin this time around--way better than before. I only ordered the boudin balls because a lot of reviews mentioned they had cheese in them. I was really looking forward to that because Bonfire Wings used to have boudin balls with cheese, and I absolutely loved those. Unfortunately, these did not have cheese. They were okay, just not what I was expecting. Overall, this visit was a solid improvement, and I'm looking forward t

My wife, daughter, and I recently visited South x Saigon after deciding to try somewhere new when our usual crawfish spot had a long wait—and we’re so glad we did. The food was absolutely amazing. We ordered the crawfish and shrimp with the House seasoning, and it was phenomenal. We also tried the BTC, hush puppies, and the lime pepper wings—every single dish was delicious and clearly made with care. What really made the experience stand out was the hospitality. The owner, Skip, and the entire staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Skip even brought us a sample of the Pan Roast, which was excellent and something we’ll definitely be ordering next time. The restaurant itself has a great vibe. It’s a bit on the smaller side, but it still felt comfortable and welcoming rather tha
