The Cajun Cua – Lý Tự Trọng
An established downtown seafood restaurant specializing in Cajun sauces and seafood eaten by hand, with an American Cajun style for diners who enjoy shrimp and crab with rich spices. A 2016 branch report already listed 267 Lý Tự Trọng, which remains the current Google Maps address. Ask about weight, sauce heat levels and that day’s seafood prices before ordering.

A Cajun-style seafood specialist, rather than a traditional Vietnamese seafood stall. A 2016 report confirms two branches at that time, without establishing that other branches still operate today.
Historical sauce options and Maps menu highlights do not establish full availability today. Confirm weight, heat level and price before ordering.
