Crawfish Noodle & Grill

If you're visiting Modesto and craving a spot that delivers on variety, authenticity, and flavor, this place is a must-try! Coming from SoCal, I wasn't sure how the food scene here in NorCal would compare, but this place absolutely hit the spot.The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes, so there's something for everyone. I always love trying fish and chips wherever I go, and theirs did not disappoint--crispy, fresh, and perfectly cooked. But the star for me was the garlic noodles--hands down some of the best I've ever had. They had just the right balance of flavors, with a perfect blend of richness and seasoning that kept me going back for more.Pricing-wise, I think it's fair for what you get--quality, authentic food that's well worth it. I don't know why some reviews complain about the cost; you truly get what you pay for here. Whether you're in the mood for seafood or noodles, Crawfish Noodle & Grill delivers with top-notch flavors and a welcoming vibe. Also, the service is pretty great especially for authentic Vietnamese food (IYKYK).Definitely adding it to my list again for the next NorCal trip!

Ordered takeout. Got a combo rice plate with a pork chop, fried chicken wing, egg roll and salad. It was an ok amount of food for the price. The flavors were good and I liked the glaze on the pork chop. My only complaint was the pork chop was a super thin slice.

I am giving one star not because of the food taste but rather because of the unhygienic service.We went to celebrate my in law's birthday. There were eight of us.I ordered chicken banh mi (pic attached), it was pretty decent and above average. I have quite a bit of experience with Vietnamese food and this is a very decent banh mi for $8.99!Some other food items ordered in the table are noodles, crawfish combo, chicken rice combo, pork chop, shrimp and fries basket, chicken strip basket and spring rolls.Now first and foremost, I was a bit confused with finding chicken strips in a Vietnamese place, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's bad!I tried the "cajun" fries and it's pretty bland, not well seasoned. Kinda disappointed at this point as I love cajun fries! But again from a Vietnamese restaurant can't expect much cajun! And I don't like fusion stuff!! It's ridiculous! Still no justification for one star.The crawfish dish was very cold apparently so they won't coming out from the shell!! Kinda strange at this point, as a place whose name has crawfish in it should have better crawfish!Anyway, this is not the dish I ordered so I should give one star for what I have experienced personally!So coming to the reason, my sister-in-law found a human hair (doesn't look like from head, yeah I know, double gross!) in her rice (deeply buried inside )! She was sitting opposite of me, so I have seen her trauma first hand. She lost appetite instantly, she was bit hesitant to make a deal out of this (which trust me I wouldn't have). But we left the place with giving generous tip to her waitress as the service of her was good even if there's hair in the food.I don't mind food tastes stale, or not authentic enough, or banh mi doesn't taste very authentic, but when there's hygiene issue, I am very strict and I think everyone should be. I want to give zero star but stopped at one for obvious reasons. Definitely will not go back to the food place who serves hair!!

Ordered the chicken combo vermicelli bowl to go... $14Fresh ingredients and delicious. Ordered via telephone. Fast pickup.Overall I would buy it again.

Pho is good. I think they have a large Pho. I had order #1 with oxtails. They would have to put some more oxtails in the small bowl. The service isn't bad.

My favorite dish here hands down is the garlic noodles with seafood combo. I have come here in the past just for that many times especially when I'm in the area because I live in Manteca. Friday, February 23, we commuted all the way from Tracy, but it was totally worth it. Fasting on Fridays and abstaining from meat as a Catholic during the Lenten season is not easy, but if you want a seafood spot to try out this is the place to go. Only downside is the service. There was only one waitress and thankfully my family of 3 beat the lunch crowd otherwise our wait may have been much longer. The waitress was really nice and took my husband's mayonnaise allergy seriously and put all the sauces even one's without mayonnaise into covered separate sauce containers. I will definitely be coming back!

Personally I come here for the garlic noodles! One of the best places I've ever found to order it. The service is always great as well. I think recently they had a note saying they were short on staffing so be patient. It's definitely worth the wait for some good comfort food.

So good. So outstanding! Fried Oysters are tender and tasty with a delicious dipping sauce.

Horrible service. Stood there for 20 minutes they then asked me to sit and wait. Another group got serviced before me. Totally forgot about me and my group. Horrible!!!

Horrible service stood there 15 minutes before they even asked me how big the party. Then told me to have a seat. Waited 30 minutes only to have another group serviced before me. Don't waste your time they will ignore you.
