Rent must have been killer, that part of Broadway is generally expensive. I don’t know of any successful quality budget restaurants in that area.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this restaurant! The service was outstanding, and the ambience was perfectly balanced—not too loud, and the music was on point. It created an inviting atmosphere that made me want to stay longer! Despite being downtown on Broadway, I was thrilled to find convenient street parking and a small lot that’s shared with other businesses.
Now, let me tell you about the food! I dove into a scrumptious seafood boil, and the flavor was out of this world! My only tiny suggestion would be to pay a bit more attention to the crab legs; they were so flavorful, but they did stick to the shell a little. However, the shrimp was cooked to perfection, and the mussels were equally delightful! I also indulged in a mouthwatering prawn bowl that was bursting with flavor, paired with some amazing veggie rolls.
I wholeheartedly recommend this place—it’s a must-visit for any seafood lover! Can’t wait to go back!

I am a regular and I am always impressed by the friendliness of Destiny and Ariza! They are always kind, sociable, and even memorized my order which is a small but extremely kind gesture.
The food is great as well! I regularly get pinch fries, which I 100% recommend, and have also tried the Prawn bowl, the chicken curry, the Japanese curry, and two of their bahn mi sandwiches. Absolutely everything has been tasty and worth ordering.
I would absolutely recommend coming here for the food, the atmosphere, the workers, and the cleanliness.

Food is super good! We went twice in one week. The bread for the Banh Mi was soooo soft and toasty. The fries were great perfectly done with a great amount of crab on top. The prices are super reasonable, staff was friendly, and I personally love the posters hanging up as well.

Had some great dinner here. The shrimp rice bowl I had was absolutely amazing and the chicken curry was also delicious. For sure a place I will come back to. Both dishes were very refreshing. In and out in 30 min too. Thanks for the great service and delicious food. Keep up the great work!

This was my first time coming to this new location after going to the original downtown location several years ago. It was a Saturday night with 2 large parties, so there were only about 4 tables available, but 2 had reserved signs. It was a cold night, so the small tables outside weren’t an option. Luckily, 1 of the tables was leaving while I was ordering and they held the table for me.
Ordered a few different boils with everything from mussels, shrimp, crawfish, clams, and the usual corn, potatoes, sausage. For the sauce, all ordered the O.G. Garlic Butter at a medium spice level. They were running behind, so food took about 20 minutes and they forgot the pound of mussels. However, they apologized and offered a discount on that order. Also ordered a side of Pinch Fries and Pork Egg Rolls. I was a little disappointed the food was served in a bowl without much sauce rather than in a pail like they used to or in a bag with all the sauce like other places.
The food was good and fresh, but missed the character of the old place. There’s a certain experience and flavor when it’s served how it’s cooked instead of a bowl. Service was outstanding even though they were extremely busy.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! My friends & I decided to stop by this restaurant during our road trip from Dallas due to our first choice having over a 40 min wait. I’m SO glad we came here. Stephanie was so sweet & helped us decide what to get. There was 3 of us & we shared the “Seafood Feast” with 2 bowls of rice to pair with it. The menu states it serves 2-3 people comfortably. Originally, I didn’t think it was gonna be enough, when you consider the fact that I was sharing it with 2 guys. But MAN; was I wrong! The seafood sauce was so unique & reflects SE Asian flavors so well. We’re from Dallas, so we’ve experienced a lot of top-notch seafood boil restaurants and this one is definitely better than most popular spots. This place is a hidden gem & we’ll definitely be back for crawfish season to try in the sauce! 10/10!

Very unassuming restaurant from the outside but as soon as you open the door everything changes. The food smells hit you and you know you are in the right place. The staff is very friendly and attentive throughout your whole experience. I ordered the Panang curry bowl and my friend had the Korean chicken bowl. We also ordered the fried dumplings and the Pinch fries with crab. The curry bow was one of the best curry that I have had. It was so smooth and delicious, the flavor balance was perfect. My friend really enjoyed her Korean chicken bowl. The chicken was tender and seasoned well. The dumplings well light and crispy, pairing well with the dipping sauce. The pinch fries arrived fresh and hot, the sauces really compliment the fries. The portions are very generous for the price. It had been two weeks and I still think about the curry bowl. Can’t wait to go back.

Wanted to pick up some lunch before running to central market and Pinch Boil House fit the bill. From the outside I didn’t expect the seating area to be as big as it was.
Pros:
The food is savory spicy and different.
Real Crab meat is used on their fries
The employees are very helpful and outgoing
The menu lends it self to fresh ingredients (even their pickles are in house)
They have daily specials
Cons:
It’s a little on the pricy side
