938 Crawfish: A Unique Vietnamese-Cajun Seafood Experience in Albany

This was my first time here I came with my hubby we were able to pick our own seats we sat at the bar we drank the special Long Island it HIT HARD!! The owner is very nice he made our drinks took our order promptly and threw in extra oysters at NO CHARGE!!!we ordered 2 shrimp garlic noodles and a side of fried oysters to share!! It’s a clean well ventilated lively restaurant! They also have a kids portion on their menu so it’s cool to bring your bratz! We will be back

Crab legs with spicy Cajun combo sauce, garlic fries, strawberry lemonade, and cocktails are my go-to. Everything else is good as well. Super laid back and friendly environment. Love this place.

Mmmmmm delicious. This place always beats out the other bag boil places. The flavors are so much stronger than everywhere else. The food makes for excellent left overs too. Damn. Definitely add the garlic noodles to whatever you order. And the mixed sauce for the best of both worlds. Delicious. Clean bathrooms, cool pants, awesome music. I was singing along to that early 2000s hip hop vibe. Also the service was really nice. I think her name was Michelle with the green hair. She was suuuuper friendly and fun and we felt right at home..which is why we keep coming back to this place. P.s. they have fried Oreos dessert. Pro tip. if parking is tricky, go around the block to the street in the back you can cut through the parking lot next door on foot.

The Calamari $13.95 was probably the best I've ever had. Maybe a smidge too much salt. The fish and chips were probably the worst I've ever had. Dry overcooked 3 portions about 4"x4"x3/4"thick. The fries were limp, possibly undercooked and at least were not salted to death. There were a lot of fries( about 3 large McDonald's portions). I spent 10 minutes wolfing down the calamari & am 10 minutes away, so the fries should have been crispy. Steve

Alright, let me start by saying — I might be a little biased, considering I’ve known the owners and staff for about three months now. But bias or not, here’s the truth: The first time I walked into this place, it was completely empty. I literally said out loud, “Where everybody at?!” — and yes, I yelled it. The beautiful and welcoming bartender came right over, sat me down at the bar, and poured me a shot to start. Within minutes she made me feel right at home — friendly, confident, and knew that menu like the back of her hand. She told me exactly what to order, and let me tell you, she did not miss. Chef Michelle? She puts her whole heart and soul into that kitchen. You can taste it in every bite. When I say this is one of my top three spots to eat at when I’m in the Bay, I mean it. The catfish stays crispy, the wings are juicy, the garlic noodles — man, those noodles will make you wanna slap your mama and someone else’s too, so proceed with caution. The seafood? Fresh, flavorful, with that perfect kick of spice. And then there’s Jinny — this woman’s energy is unmatched. She greets you like family, makes you feel right at home, and somehow always knows how to make you feel good about your order. I know this review is late, but better late than never — because The 938 deserves a solid 10/10. Good food. Good people. Good vibes. It’s the kind of spot that keeps you coming back for more. If you ever find yourself in the Bay, stop by. Have a shot (or three), kick back, and enjoy some seriously delicious food. #BESTBOILINTHEBAY

Love this restaurant!! It has so many great tasting options for food & drinks . The service is amazing and I can’t wait to come back especially since they have fun events as well !!!! 111/10 I’d definitely recommend

GREAT value for money, we came for my husband's birthday & got the Players' Plates, which are $35/each & are equivalent to the $80 plates at Chef Smelly's & bigger than what they used to do at Trap Kitchen. The food is super flavorful, the presentation is great, the staff are friendly & the service is fast! They have beer pong & a bar too, a great spot to have fun!

We came here with a few friends for a birthday and absolutely loved it! The seafood boil was fresh and delicious, the spicy level of sauce was perfectly hot and not too over the top to melt your face off. The catfish was crispy the crab was amazing! We also had garlic noodles and garlic fries, which were both great.
