King Crawfish Noodle House - Cypress

TRASH!! I remember coming to this place a couple of years ago and it was such a delightful experience. I’m not sure if they are under new management, but omg the food is literally inedible. I ordered salt and pepper shrimp, mostly because the spot I normally order from is closed on Wednesday’s. So whatever…. I order thinking can’t be that bad. Wrong! The salt and pepper shrimp were not deveined! The inside of the shrimp were black from all the nastiness inside of it and to add insult to injury the shrimp were mushy!!! The inside of my fingernails after attempting to peel back the shrimp and take off the shell looked as if I worked in a coal mine! I wanted French fries instead of rice, I was told no I was not allowed to do so, fine, I paid for the most oily fries I have ever consumed. Not only oily, soggy and bland but very old cold fries. Upon leaving the establishment while picking up my food I asked the cashier “is there ketchup in the bag” she replied “I mean it should be” without once asking what I ordered or even peeking her noggin inside the big brown bag. Never again.

I recommend to give it a try. The location is unfortunately hidden away, and a little hard to drive into if you are going here for the first time. It's behind the CVS Pharmacy area. I ordered the crawfish fried rice and I am satisfied with the taste, and large portion size. I would come back to try other dishes. So far I like it.

I was hoping this was just a rebranding of the place due to the naming lawsuit over king crawfish. Sadly it is not. It is a whole new restaurant. If I had seen what they were playing on the TV before sitting down and ordering, I would have left. Food was ok, not great. Plenty of other places to eat Vietnamese food in Cypress without having to sit through anti-american q-anon programming.

New name. La Pho. Kings crawfish is no longer here. Interior is nice and redone. Staff is extremely helpful. The Bahn mis were very good. I was not the biggest fan of the crawfish but most likely due to having a certain viet-cajun preference I tend to get elsewhere. Would go back.

I believe this place used to be a Chinese restaurant but now it has changed to Vietnamese. I took a chance one day as I saw this place on Google. I didn't see an updated menu but I assumed they had pho so I ordered 3 pho tai bo vien to try at home (1 small and 2 large). When I went to pick up my order, I was pretty lost when trying to find the building. They are tucked away behind the main strip off the street and in the corner. I never knew this spot even existed. When I walked in, the space is huge and completely renovated with all white marble counters and white walls it looked very fancy. I went to pay (not knowing how much anything was) and it was in my opinion, way overpriced for what we got. The employees were very nice and still figuring out the POS system when taking my order but that's okay. As soon as I got home I opened the bag and I was really disappointed. The large pho had the exact same amount as the small pho. Even though it was $2 more for the large. Overall, I think this place is just okay. I still ate my pho but definitely not worth $12, maybe $5 at most. I feel really bad because I want to support them especially when they're in a bad location but I don't think I can. The meat also tasted funny with a weird texture (almost gummy) so I couldn't eat it all. Same with the meatballs- they had too much cartilage in it?? I am used to small pieces of cartilage but most of the meatballs were half cartilage and that was really unappetizing for me. I don't think I will be back anytime soon. Hopefully over time things change a little and this business is successful. Good luck!
