Jolynn’s Crawfish in Houston

How long has Jolynn's Crawfish been at this location? As far as I know, I've seen this restaurant since I moved to Houston over 15 years ago. I heard about Jolynn's from my Yelper friends but never set foot in here. Back in 2020, I spent majority of time yelping by going restaurant to restaurant to see which ones open and closed. Many of them, including this one, were effected due to Covid-19 pandemic restaurant restrictions. Then in 2021, I saw Jolynn's Crawfish opened a few times. The next thing I knew, a sign said no longer in business as of August 3. Last month, I saw restaurant was all lit up as I drove by. Came to find out, they reopened for business on Friday January 7, 2022. I had a candid conversation with the new owner, Vinh Tho Nguyen, a young entrepreneur who bought the business from his former employer. That's a great news for customers because he knows all about the operation and how to take care of customers better. Now, let's talk about the food. The menu is simply crawfish, baskets, combo, fried rices and sides go with crawfish. They partnered with Joe's Crawfish to use the delivery service. They also have that flavor in the menu. You just have to ask for it. So, among all flavors, here's my ranking: - Joe's Crawfish is my favorite. The main seasoning is minced raw garlic. Not pungent while but gently flavored crawfish to perfection. - Thai Basil is my second choice. They used fresh sweet basil, orange slices, sweet onions and other savory in...

The red sauce is back. ( J sauce).  Stopped going a year ago. Crawfish were not true Jolynns.  I went Wednesday and the crawfish were very good and spicy.  The size is only medium but it's not true season yet. Will definitely return.

First time trying Jolynn’s crawfish , very flavorful. I ordered the mix flavor with medium level spice. Omg they were so good ! Seems way spicer than medium, my mouth was on lol. If this is medium spice I’d hate to see what all the way turnt up seems like. My whole mouth is burning but I just can’t stop eating them.
