Viet-Cajun seafood boil with Vietnamese twists, casual vibe
"Casual International District seafood shack Crawfish King adds Vietnamese influences to the Cajun crawfish boil. Diners order seafood either by the pound or as a combo, along with a sauce, and the whole shebang spills across the huge table like at a backyard fiesta. It’s a messy, interactive bonding experience to crack away at a mountain of shellfish as a bib-wearing team." - Harry Cheadle
"Ideal for groups, Crawfish King does a bonafide dump-it-on-the-table-style Cajun crawfish boil, with various Vietnamese sides, beverages, desserts, and sauces to add a twist to the experience. The specials sometimes include the rarely seen Pacific Northwestern signal crawfish, which can be the size of a lobster — way bigger than the imported mudbugs from the South — and the menu always has all the usual local crab and oyster suspects too." - Meg van Huygen
"There’s nothing quite like the experience of a seafood boil, dumped across the table for a crowd to pick through. Crawfish King does it Viet-Cajun-style, where the endless choices span crawfish, Dungeness crab, and Andouille sausage to fish balls and quail eggs, not to mention fried sides, copious sauces, gumbo, and neon-colored cocktails in mason jars." - Vox Creative
"The International District’s Viet-Cajun restaurant has $55 Super Bowl platters available for takeout. They include fried snow crab claws, crawfish (naturally), scallops, popcorn shimp (and chicken), plus “lots” of Cajun fries and sauces. Ordering available via Chownow." - Gabe Guarente
"Seattle’s original Viet-Cajun hot spot Crawfish King is offering one pound of crawfish free for orders on delivery apps such as GrubHub and Ubereats." - Gabe Guarente
