Cajun Bistro 7

"The BEST crawfish joint in San Jose hands down. Their sauces are flavorful, creamy, and always consistent. Kickin Crab, Clawshack, and Boiling Crab’s quality has drastically decreased over the years, leaving it pretty hard to find a decent seafood boil. Cajun Bistro never disappoints! It’s a little further from me than I’d like but it is worth the drive 100%"

"Great place for sharing a meal with many friends. We ordered garlic noodle with shaken beef, combination seafood fried rice, fried crispy tilapia with fries, fried calamari, corn, sweet potato fries, 1# shrimp each with different flavor: Louisiana, California, garlic. The meal was tasty. You csn request mild sauce on shrimp and get sides of hot sauce. Service was efficient and friendly."

"Definitely a hole in the wall food spot!!! When you enter the store, you are instantly greeted and are gestured to sit down at a table. I’ve been here multiple times and each time, service has been quick and food has been consistent with quality. This food spot is a casual, Vietnamese comfort Cajun spot that has a variety of Vietnamese food along with Cajun seafood. The sauce you have to get here is the Original Louisiana sauce! On this visit, we ordered the Garlic Noodles with extra garlic and 3LB Combo with Shrimp, Clams, Crawfish, 2 pieces of corn, 2 pieces of potatoes, and 4 pieces of sausages all mixed with the Original Louisiana sauce. The sauce tastes creamy, buttery and mixes really well with the seafood. You can tell it was cooked fresh when ordered. Garlic noodles were good. I always like to add the Original Louisiana sauce onto the garlic noodles and eat it with the seafood. Regular garlic noodles are good here but if you love garlic, I would recommend ordering it with extra garlic. Gloves are provided to use if you don’t want to use your bare hands to open the seafood."

"I've never been more confused by the number of good reviews for a restaurant, and I've never left a restaurant after a few bites of food to go find a meal elsewhere. Until now! I was hoping this was a hole-in-the-wall strip mall gem of a Vietnamese place with a new take on Cajun flavors, which paid more attention to taste than to ambiance (our food came in plastic bags). Instead, it seems to be an overpriced boiled seafood provider. After a long day of exercise, we were hungry enough that a drive through burger joint would have tasted just fine, and we probably should have just done that. We left after about 5 minutes for a nearby taqueria, with apologies to the very kind waitstaff, who were the best part of our experience there."

"I am a huge fan of the sweet california sauce! MY FAVORITE sauce to get with seafood: super sweet and buttery. can't even compare to other seafood broil sauces at kickin crab or boiling crab. I always order the 3 lb combo (2 crawfish, 1 shrimp) and share it with my boyfriend or whomever I bring into the restaurant. The crawfish is always cooked perfectly and HUGE in size. The shrimp is sometimes overcooked and sticks to the shell... could even possibly be frozen?, but still very delicious."
