Seafood House - Great Wood

So I was really hoping this place was good. Unfortunately that was not the case! I ordered the 1lb boiled shrimp with cajun fries and my husband ordered the friend rice with rangoons. I 'll start with my meal.. I eat shrimp ALL THE TIME all over the world. Never have I ever had such an issue peeling these shrimp! The shell was basically glued onto the meat. Also they didn 't clean the shoots . They were very overcooked and lacked all the flavor. I got the house special seasoning spicy- there was zero spice at all and completely lacked flavor. The fries were very late coming to the table and extremely well done- the cajun seasoning was literally just dusted on the top of the hard fries.. Definitely not cajun by any means. My husbands fried rice looked as bland as it tasted. And the rangoons are my daughters favorite food.. these she spit out. We took a bit and they were not that great at all. Smelt a little fishy. Now to customer service.. I know it 's like the new thing for everyone to constantly be on their phones but how about you check on your customers while they are eating. The one time he did come over I asked why is it so hard to peel these shrimp! And he just shrugged his shoulders. Everyone there just sat around on their phones. We were the only ones in there.. that should have given us a clue.. but we decided to give them a shot anyways. REGRET. My stomach hurt all the way up to a few hours ago. Clearly ate something bad there. I highly do not recommend going to this place. Wouldn 't go back ever again.

The fish was not completely cooked, the shrimp was over cooked. The Rangoon was saviory not sweet(Unexpected). Oysters on have shell was fishy smell.

The place was clean and the French fries were good. The counter staff was inattentive, ha to ask for utensils, napkins, extra plate, sal, etc. Food was frozen stuff, nothing hand made. Had the seafood platter with cod and the cod was old and freezer burnt. Probably if we would have ordered one of the ethnic Asian dishes might have been different experience. But I will never know.

For the new year I decided I 'm not going to go to my usual crawfish spots all the time but try all the other amazing spots around my area. Next stop on the crawfish tour: Seafood House I figured since I was visiting a friend in Cypress, I should try a place that isn 't in my normal radius. Review time: STAFF: The staff here is great! I had made multiple calls to the restaurant and each time the gentleman on the phone was super kind and informative. PRICE: $7.99/lb great price! Some of the cheapest crawfish I 've had in awhile! FLAVORS: They have 6 flavors (House Special, Garlic Butter, Viet Cajun, Sriracha Garlic, Cajun, Garlic Butter Cajun) and 3 spice levels (mild, mid hot, extra hot). I did 2lbs House Special mid hot and 1lb Viet Cajun mid hot. I personally like the House special more than the Viet Cajun. SIZE: For it still being early ish in the crawfish season, I feel the size was a big range as in there were small ones and almost large/medium ones. Overall I would say they were about medium. TASTE/QUALITY: The House Special was really good in comparison to the Viet Cajun. I felt the House Special was more citrus y, more garlic y and had more of a kick. Basically overall it was more flavorful. Just a FYI when you order 2 lbs of crawfish, you usually get 1 corn and 1 potato. Unfortunately they ran out of corn, but gave me 2 potatoes instead. I also ordered sausage and Cajun fries. The potatoes and sausage were cooked well and tasted yummy. The Cajun fries were cooked well; however I was not a huge fan of the Cajun seasoning. The crawfish was clean and cooked well with yummy guts. However I felt only half the batch was flavorful. My friend ordered the stir fry shrimp in Tamarind sauce and thought that was good (no pic). RECOMMEND? I would say this place is decently good. For the price point, it was good, but I wouldn 't say this place was in my top 5. The flavor was good but doesn 't truly stand out to me. (Complete disclosure: this place is truly a 3.5 to me, but since I can 't give 1/2 stars, I rounded up)

Great seafood, I loved the fried tilapia and shrimp.
