Located just steps from the sparkling Gulf waters on Galveston's vibrant Seawall Boulevard, Viet Cajun offers an irresistible fusion of Vietnamese and seafood flavors that makes it a standout dining destination. This family-run gem brings together two rich culinary traditions in perfect harmony, delivering dishes that are as fresh and authentic as they are bursting with flavor.
The menu at Viet Cajun reads like a celebration of bold, crave-worthy comfort foods. Dive into the Seafood Boil for a hands-on feast of crab, shrimp, and crawfish, perfectly seasoned and served steaming hot. If you’re craving a comforting bowl, their Beef Pho offers fragrant, rich broth layered with tender beef and fresh herbs, while the Shrimp Spring Rolls offer a crisp, refreshing starter. For those who love a crispy, golden bite, the Crab Cakes and Fried Spring Rolls do not disappoint, delivering satisfying textures and fresh, bold flavors in every mouthful.
One of the true highlights is their take on the classic Roasted Pork Banh Mi Vietnamese Sandwich. Stuffed with deeply flavorful pork perfectly balanced by tangy pickled carrots and nestled in a fresh, soft baguette, it’s easy to see why guests keep coming back for more. Fans of Cajun comfort food will also relish the Boiled Crawfish and the addictively seasoned Salt and Pepper Wings, which come served with a delightful Thai dipping sauce, adding a spicy-sweet kick. On the lighter side, the Vermicelli with Veggie and Charbroiled Chicken Steam Rice offer satisfying and wholesome options that never compromise on flavor.
Complement your meal with one of the signature drinks like the creamy, cooling Thai Iced Tea — a perfect balance to the rich and spicy flavors found throughout the menu.

I am so happy my sister showed me this place. 10/10 soo delicious and flavorful with reasonable prices. Wow. Both of one my favorite types of food together in harmony. Boudain balls were packed with flavor and delicious fresh. They do not skimp on anything. Their Banh Mi was stuffed with delicious pork that was so flavorful and a great compliment to the pickled carrot and the fresh bun. Wow. GO HERE if in Galveston. Service was so sweet. Very popular so make sure to get there asap. :)
The fried fish was cooked perfectly. Light batter, flaky and crispy, still juicy on the inside. Fried rice had good flavor. The vermicelli bowl was great, pork was seasoned well. Only thing is I wish the lettuce was a bit more fresh.
The food was excellent! Took a lil bit to come out but well worth the wait. We observed others orders coming out around us, if I could have ate one of everything I think I would have, their loaded fries looked amazing and omg the fried rice platter was big and looked so good. Them boys made happy plates! You can see the ocean across the street. Was pretty much in a one stop shopping center! We will be back.
First time here and food is great. I got the grilled fish and shrimp with rice and vegetables. Very yummy and a basket of fried shrimp, oysters and shrimp was hot, fresh and tasty. Highly recommend .
What a great find! Viet Cajun is a family-run spot that truly delivers. The food is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I had the salt and pepper wings with a side of Thai sauce—absolutely delicious! The wings were crispy, perfectly seasoned, and the Thai sauce added a great kick. You can feel the pride in this family-operated business. Definitely a hidden gem in Galveston. Highly recommend!
Spring rolls were freshly made and delicious. The pork sandwich was had the right balance of sweetness and spiciness in the jalapeño which was a nice surprise. Really enjoyed the food!
THE BEST ASIAN FOOD ON THE ISLAND and it’s not even close. I lived in SE Asia for 2 years and I’ve never had a pork Bahn Mi as good, and I dare to say it’s maybe my favorite single menu item on the island. It’s loaded with meat (even though you can order extra if you desire) and will fill you up. At $7.99 it is an absolute STEAL! The wings are flavor-packed and the fried rice is perfect. Everything I’ve had yet here has been a home run. Small wonder Viet Cajun was named one of the top 10 restaurants in Galveston by the Houston Chronicle! If you love Cajun seasoning and Asian cooking, DO NOT MISS THIS HIDDEN GEM!
