The garlic noodles were the best part of the meal! We will be back!

First time and I absolutely loved it!!! I was skeptical since I never really see this place packed, but I’m surprised it’s not flooded with people!

Super tasty, delish, flavorful, and addicting!

We got the #2 bucket thing (forgot the name of it, but its the second page of the menu) and it was fulfilling for four adults! We had plenty left over too. The garlic noodles are sooo yummy too!

Clearly its messy as any other like restaurant, but its so worth it. A real experience!

So so soooooo good!! Highly recommend! The sauce (all) was very addictive. Has a hint of sweetness. Medium spice level wasn’t very hot. I’ll try the next level up next time. Loved the shrimp! It was cooked perfectly! And although the garlic noodles were a bit overcooked, they were still very delicious and garlicky! The clam chowder was also very good! Reminiscent of Monterey or Santa Cruz chowder. Will definitely return to try other things on menu. Service was ok. It was after 7pm and the servers were friendly and tentative. B+

Had such a great experience here! The food came out fresh and fast, and everything tasted amazing. Our waitress Angelina was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed the whole time. Definitely coming back again soon!

Eating here was an unusual experience and I would recommend visitors to know a few things before they enter. (1) they serve cooked crab/lobster/etc in a plastic bag with all the gravy in it (2) they don’t serve spoons, forks or even plates… (3) you need to be comfortable eating with your hand (4) and its going to get very very messy.

That being said, I would still give it 5 stars for the experience and the food. We went here for my son’s birthday and he loved it so much that we were shocked.:)

Definely a place I would visit again with my son.

Despite being busy, the staff did an excellent job making sure that we had everything needed to feast! Along with the appetizers, we ordered the kickin combo deal #1. For a family of four, all of this food was more than enough; we underestimated how much food was going to be in the seafood bag. Overall, the food is a little on the saltier side. We loved how thinly sliced the fries were, making them extra crispy. Calamari was excellent; they were crunchy and tasty. We wished we substituted the garlic noodles for another order of calamari! The garlic noodles became overbearing after the first bite; I wouldn’t recommend it. We would come here again.

I love the food, I just wish they had better staffing. We came here around 4 pm on Sunday, and the wait was about 40 minutes. Half of the restaurant was empty, but they can seat people because they are under staffed. Even when we finally sat down, it was hard to get a waiter for anything. The demand is obviously there, why not hire a few more waiters so more people can enjoy this food!

The atmosphere was ok. They played decent music. The first waitress was excellent but the service after was below average. I went for the food and if I could give a negative star review I would. The pictures are of what first came and the second picture is of what I left on the table. Garlic noodles were decent and that’s being nice. The crawfish you could EASILY tell they had been frozen for awhile and I felt nauseous after eating it. One of them were BROWN and old. I love seafood but would NEVER go here again.

Unconventional presentation (lime thrown on the paper covered table, awesome, tasteful seafood delivered in a plastic bag, gloves to protect your fine skin…). We ordered Garlic noodles (must to be tried, generous garlic amount in them!), 2 lb crawfish, mussels, a crab. We played with spice levels of the Kickin sauce, enjoyed both Medium and Spicy. Liked the place a lot. Going to come again and get clams, shrimps. Oh! We had fresh oysters! Best appetizer ever! Servers were very polite, surprisingly nice for such a busy place!
