Gumbo’s (Westlake)
- Location – West
- Cuisine – Cajun / Lousian
We went to Gumbo’s of Westlake for New Years Eve dinner – unfortunately, but not surprisingly, they were all booked for the evening :o( They did however have a few tables in the bar and were serving the full menu there.
We started with a bowl of Crawfish Etouffee. Then for dinner my wife chose the stuffed Rainbow Trout and I had the Chilean Bass. The girls shared some pasta and fried shrimp from the kids menu.
Both dishes were very good and surprisingly, we both liked our own dishes better.
Finally we had some bread pudding w/vanilla ice cream (most awesome).

Located in the same shopping complex as Sambet’s and Camino Real, this used to be “in” the grocery store right next door. But have recently moved into it’s own separate place.
A few of my favorite dishes are:
It is best to visit Asia Cafe in a group of 4~5. This allows you to order 3 (maybe 4, if you’re really hungry) dishes and try them family style.
