The Spot
Crawfish & Noodles is a casual seafood restaurant in Houston's Alief neighborhood, founded by Chef Trong Nguyen. The kitchen works in the Viet-Cajun tradition, tossing boiled crawfish in garlic butter and a house spice blend.

Beyond the signature crawfish, the menu includes wok-fired crawfish fried rice and fresh Gulf oysters served raw, chargrilled, or cheesy. Live crawfish is available daily.

Nguyen has been a James Beard Foundation Best Chef finalist and semifinalist in consecutive years, from 2018 through 2020. The restaurant has built a loyal following of regulars who return season after season for the crawfish.
