CRAWFISH KING

8142 Shin Oak Dr, Live Oak, TX 78233

Crawfish King is a unique restaurant located in Live Oak, Texas, that combines Lao and Asian flavors. Established by co-owner Jet Chan, who learned the art of cooking from his father, this restaurant has been delighting customers with fresh seafood and bold dishes for eight years. Initially starting as a food truck, Crawfish King has now settled into a brick-and-mortar location, bringing the rich culinary traditions of Lao, Thai, and Vietnamese cuisines to the local community.

The star of the menu is undoubtedly the crawfish, which are boiled in a flavorful concoction that includes lemons, oranges, onions, celery, and jalapeños. After cooking, they are tossed in a delicious, garlic-forward house sauce that many loyal customers have even tried to buy by the bottle! But Crawfish King isn’t just about crawfish; the menu also boasts Goldband oysters, Thai yuk rye New York strips, and an impressive deep-fried fish topped with tamarind, peanuts, and bell peppers.
