Crawfish in Orlando means Viet-Cajun — a Gulf Coast tradition transformed through Vietnamese flavors. Garlic butter, Cajun spices, lemongrass, and fish sauce come together in messy, loud, absolutely wonderful crawfish boils. Orlando's Mills 50 corridor has become a hub for this Vietnamese-Cajun fusion, and these restaurants do it best.
