This place is interesting, it really does feel like you’re ordering from a trap spot. The price is definitely great for all that you receive. The sauce and food was good. But the shrimp texture bothered me a bit since the food wasn’t made to order so I ended up not eating it. They give you a whole corn on the cob which I especially liked instead of some places who only give a quarter piece of a corn

I’ve been trying to get myself to Chef Oya’s The Trap for months, maybe a year now! You know why? They’re open Wednesday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Do you know what else? You can only get away with those kinds of hours if your food is excellent. The bottom line is Chef Oya’s food is absolutely fantastic! The food is fresh and just popping with flavor. Buttery, garlicky seafood sprinkled generously with parmesan. The potatoes, broccoli, and corn make for a perfect combination of tastes and textures. Large portions. Friendly service. Reasonable prices. One negative, aside from the limited hours, is that you’ll need to take your food elsewhere or eat in your car.

Amazing! Worth waiting even in the cold outside! The chowder is better than what I had in Boston!!!!!!!
I had the shrimp platter and my husband had the shrimp 5 ways
The sides were good, broccoli, potatoes and an ear of corn as well as a boiled egg all slathered in the butter and spice of your choice.
This is take out ONLY
You will be waiting outside but again so worth it.
Go early otherwise they might run out of what you plan on getting.

So you go up to a window to order. There is a small plastic cutout, and It’s really difficult to hear the person and they aren’t so friendly. There is a speaker that cuts in and out.

You order and they turn around and you receive it in about 3 minutes flat.

Nothing is made to order. The broccoli was cold.

But as long as you know what you’re getting, this is an incredible value. I got the island curry loaded shrimp for $15. Shrimp was tender and basically perfect.

I can’t attest to the crab or lobster but I’d certainly be willing to give them a try next time.

I just wish they had a place to sit or something. Just put a table out there somewhere. Oh, and why do we need a plastic cutout window? I guess it’s the charm of the place but c’mon.

Whatever 5 stars anyways.

My first time trying and it was tasty…. Very generous portions, I had crab legs with shrimp. I wanted to try the chowder but by the time I got to the window it was sold out, and it was only 12:45p. The line was kinda long but it moved quicker than I expected. In also glad it was nice outside, the only thing I didn’t like was that there were a lot of people begging for change while I was standing there. Other than that worth the wait.

The owner was there and she was outside interacting with the community which was a nice thing to see. It was a decent wait time to get my food. Food looked a lot better than it tasted. I had the Garlic Sauce and it was very bland and my potatoes were mushy.

Rating: 4.3/5 stars

Do y’all like feeling as if you need to take a shower after you eat dinner? Do you enjoy the danger of eating unknown amounts of oil and butter? Do you want to literally see how much seafood can be stuffed into an ordinary styrofoam container? Do you crave having your name screamed by Chef Oya herself?

The goods: Small, hole-in-the-wall feel and charm. Extremely fast service. Large portions. The shrimp and crab were cooked perfectly.

The bads: The food was lukewarm at best- wish it was a bit hotter (temperature-wise). The broccoli was pretty mushy while the potatoes were a little undercooked. I wish there was more depth to the flavor profile. Don’t get me wrong, I love butter, oil, garlic, and parmesan cheese. But that’s basically all that can be tasted here. There are a variety of sauces, so I’ll be back to try a different one.
