Hot N Juicy Crawfish

If you accept this place for what it is, you’ll totally enjoy it. It’s steamed and spiced seafood. Medium hot n Juicy is the best, not too hot that you can enjoy the seafood. Yes it can be expensive if you want certain seafood such as lobster, but if you go for the experience then it’ll be a good time.
I can easily do this myself, but hey– it’ll be a mess so why not leave the mess at hot n juicy.
The flavours were bang.
II would go back as I enjoyed my experience and the food. Lobster, snow crab legs and shrimp. Lobster was not much meat since we only enjoy the tail. So, lots of meat wasted and expensive.

Hot & Juicy they are the best craw fish I ever had, got to get a little dirty but that is the whole craw fish experience.
Great customer service they hot other items in the menu like clams, lobster, blue crab & peal & eat shrimp to name some but the craw fish is my favorite.
There sauces are amazing you can’t go wrong with the one you choose if you are a craw fish lover and happen to be by Las Vegas China town stop by hot and Juicy you will love it.

Can someone tell me why there is two Hot n Juicys on the same road?
Anyway. This place is like my regular Friday joint with friends. Great place. Come early, like 5pm for dinner, or else the wait and parking is AWFUL. We arrived at 5:30 and parking was already terrible, we left at 6ish and the line outside was insanity. Parking was impossible. This place is not as big as it looks.
The food is great! I always get the shrimp in the original flavor, but one word of caution, IT IS SPICY! Yeah yeah I know, you like spicy but seriously. This is SPICY. My friend who is a spice lover even remarked that he thought it was a little too much at level 5. I got level 1 (yeah I know I’m a wimp) and my nose was running.
It gets messy as you have to peel the shrimp/​crawfish/​crabs yourself by hand. Everything is served in plastic bags and they do provide bibs and plastic gloves, but most just use their bare hands. Don’t wear your best clothes.
This place is great, as long as you come early, or don’t mind waiting. It’s okay though, there are plenty of little shops nearby to shop in while you wait.

We had friends in town from Virginia over the summer. Hot N Juicy Crawfish was on their list of places they wanted to try during their Las Vegas food adventure. This was also the first time my guy and I ventured in as well. I want to be clear that in no way is Hot N Juicy a fancy place. Your food is served in a plastic bag and your drinks are in paper cups. Make sure your dress casual, expect the possibility of a wait, (as it’s located in a smallish space) and have a good time.
I for one was grateful for the cute little plastic bibs available. Yes, everyone looks cute and it makes for a fun photo op. But the fact is you get REALLY MESSY!
My guy and I had shrimp. I chose the garlic butter, medium while my guy had the cajun, medium. Both were very tasty. Others in our group had crawfish and combos. All 6 of us enjoyed our food and the experience very much.

Love eating here. It’s worth the wait. Advice call them a head how long the wait so you wouldn’t be surprise when u get there. They have 2 location so call both and chose which one you prefers.

This spot is Amazing. I love the entire experience and when we missed our flight, my sister and I had our friend take us back for more food. Everything is so delicious and well season with the perfect spice. I can’t wait to go back again when I visit Vegas this yr.

I have been here a couple if times with my best friends and also my husband. I leave full and happy and I like how at this location it is not as crowded as the one up the road. I always order baby spice hot n juicy shrimp. I would get mild, but their definition of mild is not the same as an average person’s definition. It is too spicy. And the servers can have some improvement. They are not very good at checking on tables unless I flag them down. But still good.

Still very good. The Crayfish were a bit small so we ordered some shrimp done the same way to fill our bellies. We lost our big iPhone and they were nice enough to hand it to our Über driver an hour later. very cool!

Puts many of the «other» similarly styled and structured restaurants to shame. Food was fresh and delicious.
If the waitress was more attentive and followed instruction better, it’d be a 5-​star review.

This place is a must go if ur in Vegas. Similar to the boil in NYC but more spice, bigger, and a little cheaper. Get there early because it gets crowded quick. Snow crablegs with the hot and juicy sauce mild was amazing. The black mussel in the butter garlic sauce was OMG good. I will definitely come back here.

We actually wanted to go try Boiling Crab but there was an hour & 45 min wait so I called Hot & Juicy and they said it would be 40 – 45 mins so we rushed over there instead.
Upon arriving, we were told there would be a 20 – 25 min wait which was even better so we just walked down the strip to a clothing store to shop & wait.
Once we were seated, we were shown the menu with the market prices (which I forgot to take a picture of) but we decided we only wanted shrimp that night so we got 2 pounds of medium Hot n Juicy, 1 pound of mild Hot n Juicy, 2 bowls of rice, & 2 orders of Cajun fries.
The shrimp was amazing, perfectly cooked with awesome flavor (I ended up pouring some on my rice lol), the spice was perfect but we’ll probably go a level higher next time. The fries were also great, everyone loved them.
The service was also great, I believe we had Loren (sorry if I’m mistaken) but she was so sweet & she checked on us very often which I really appreciated.
The only thing I would change is the fact that the waiting space is so tiny/​awkward so everyone is clumped up by the door, blocking it so people can’t get in/​out. We actually waited outside because I thought it would be weird to just stand in front of the people who were sitting on the bench.
Overall: great food, great service, good prices, definitely would recommend to family & friends. My cousin who has been to both Hot N Juicy & Boiling Crab said HNJ is definitely better.

Definitely recommend! The spices that compliment the shrimp and crawfish are on point! It is a bit of a messy meal so you may want to reconsider coming here if you plan on doing something afterwords. It seems there is always a wait here due to its exposure from food network shows but definitely worth checking out.

I’ve had hot n juicy from California and the difference with this location was that it was… flavorless! Very disappointing. And some of the shrimps were fresh on top, but the ones on the bottom were rotten! (Had a few black ones and mushy ones) Couldn’t even find any garlic at the bottom. which usually gives it that extra flavor!
I did enjoy the Cajun fries though. Very well flavored, perfectly crispy and fresh! We took it to go and it was STILL GOOD cold.
Customer service was good. I would probably try the other hot n juicy location next time I’m in town though

A friend of mine has been talking about this place for the year that I have known him! Over and over he would assure me that we needed to go!
So go we did! And I was not disappointed. The food was good, in a super messy, peel your own stuff kinda way. They do offer gloves, and bibs, etc to reduce the delicious saucy consequences! But I have been to places like this before, I wore clothes that I would toss into the laundry if needed. But I did ok!
We ordered everything with «Hot and Juicy» sauce. My friend feels it is the best one, I cannot say, as it was the only one I had. Everything you order comes tightly wrapped in a plastic bag swimming in your sauce of choice. This is sounding fun, RIGHT? Well it is fun, if you let it be! We had a great meal!
Dinner consisted of…
Snow Crab Legs– Yummy!
Green Lip Muscles– OK, these were my favorite. Easy to retrieve from the shell, lots of flavor! Really good!
Head on Shrimp — I thought these would be too much work, but I was wrong! They were great!
Cajun Fries — Just to ad a little bit of fried goodness to the table.
and lastly sliced cajun sausage — These were hands down the dud of the night. Soggy, tasted weird, yuck. I suspect they were old, and sitting in the bag of sauce did not help. Stick to the seafood! Or Fried stuff!
Over All we had fun and enjoyed our meal. Service was awesome!
Would I RUN back? I don’t know. Would I go back, for sure!

Heard of this place from many people! Finally got to try on this trip to Vegas! Awesome shrimp and crab! This place would be the bomb in Hawaii!

So my and my associate decided to go to hot and juicy for dinner. Now let me tell you my last two experiences weren’t the greatest but this time I have to say it worked out.
I ordered 2lbs of crawfish my associate ordered catfish a side of rice and a 1lb of shrimp.
My crawfish were tiny but the flavor was on point. My flavor was hot and juicy, spicy Cajun.
My associate stated their food was pretty good and I could agree because be time I looked up their food was gone before mine ((LOL)).
After its all done and over with I enjoyed my meal but would love to have bigger crawfish next time so I guess until than I’ll keep hoping and wishing for thoses succulent suckers!!! Haha

We are from out of town. While we were in Vegas the group wanted to get some sea food. Came here and wow this place is busy. Looks like a popular joint people like to go to to get sea food. The food was good. I enjoyed eating finger food with my friends.
Got the mild sauce with shrimp and the flavor was amazing. Very flavorful and very good indeed.

My faves here were the clams, king crab legs, and soft shell crab. It was all so good! I’m not even a big fan of clams usually, but the sauce made it so delicious. We had crawfish, too, even though the fresh ones weren’t available. But I didn’t really enjoy that as much. But even for frozen crawfish, they were really big but I just didn’t think the flavor stuck to them as good as the other seafood.

Oh well. Had to test the water *one more time* and went back because the last experience was so good!
Terrible service. Not *once* did my water cup get filled the entire hour that we were there. All the waitstaff is running around frantically trying to turn-​and-​burn when this place is busy, and it’s almost always busy. They seem hyper focused on clearing tables and seating new guests. What happens in between (table service) doesn’t seem like a priority. Get ready to get up out of your seat if you actually need something. Like you’re hailing a taxi!
This was my 25^th or so visit to the HNJ chain of restaurants, and the first time ordering their black mussels. These black mussels are small, shrunken and the orange meat variety. The clams are much better, but unfortunately they were sold out of clams on this last visit. I would definitely not order these mussels again.
Call ahead to make sure they have the protein you want?
Taste note: the garlic in the Hot N Juicy sauce is plentiful, potent and on the rawer side so be prepared if you re-​dip your shrimp after you peel…

Well one of my friends insisted on coming here. So this place isn’t flashy or apart of the strip, it’s in I guess the Chinatown section of Vegas. It was pretty busy for a Friday at 3pm. There was a 30 minute wait so we went next door and all got 30 minute massages lol (awesome). So we come back and get seated at our table. Waitress was super sweet and attentive
Took our order, put on those garbage bag bibs lol, and gloves.
Food came out and man it was hott, like spicy hot. Which is great but i had a runny nose after the first 2 bites but I didn’t mind lol just caught me off guard.
All the food was just below great. The cajun fries were way to oily for my liking. The cajun calamari was good, but portion was small, the softshell crab was surprisingly good even thou I am not a fan of crab.
Overall I’d enjoyed the experience with cause of my great friends, great service, good food, and a break from the strip.
I think the most fascinating part of this experience was looking around at how everyone sat there with tables packed with food and then nothing was left. So it’s definitely an experience I’d recommed
