We ordered the Treasure Box Silver Platter ($84.99), which came with an impressive “boat” of seafood: Manila clams, mussels, cherry stone clams, scallops, shrimp, oysters, spicy baby octopus, and yellow croaker fish. It also included complimentary side dishes of noodle soup, spicy sashimi salad, corn cheese, steamed egg, potato and purple yam.
The seafood was fresh and grilled to perfection — tender, juicy, and flavorful. A few of the Manila clams didn’t open during grilling, but our server noticed and replaced them right away, which we really appreciated! The staff grilled everything right at our table and prepped the oysters and cherry stone clams so they were easy to eat — a thoughtful touch that didn’t go unnoticed.
The noodle soup was unexpectedly amazing! The noodles were chewy and packed with flavor. I initially thought it was just a filler for the combo, but it turned out to be one of the highlights. If it doesn’t come with the combo you choose, I highly recommend ordering it separately!
The spicy sashimi cabbage salad was interesting, corn cheese was good, and the veggie pancake and steamed egg were standard sides.
Overall, this was a great dining experience with spacious seating and a comfortable atmosphere. I loved that the seasoning let the freshness of the seafood shine. For those who prefer bolder flavors, each table comes with two types of hot sauce and soy sauce for dipping as well.
We got the silver set along with boneless rib eye and pork steak. The seafood quality was ok, no sand in any of the clams, but it wasnt anything special. The soup and noodles at the end was mediocre, they were both soggy and the noodles had no taste besides it being spicy. The steaks were not bad, but everything we ate there was half burnt.
That goes into why I would never recommend this place to anyone. The service was aweful! I dont think I’ve been to a place with worst service and I go to alot of chinese restaurants where they couldn’t care less about service. The guy was literally on his phone the whole time in the other room just sitting there. He was the only one there so im not sure if it was just a bad day or they had call outs but he had a huge attitude the whole time. You could visually see that he was upset and it doesnt help when he’s the one cooking our $50 steak and it gets burnt! Half of the seafood was burnt as well, it was not a good experience. There was 5 tables eating on a thursday night and the tables weren’t cleaned for hours after they left. Given the guy was the only one serving, cleaning and cooking so I understand he was doing alot but when he goes to the other room to sit on his phone in between cooking our food and letting it burn, that’s a problem!
The standout feature of our experience was undeniably the excellent service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction, displaying a genuine interest in making our dining experience enjoyable.
The food takes forever on the grill. And most seafood is warm at best. The service was okay, but Im just amazed that even with the server cooking for you. Most of the seafood was still warm/not fully cooked. Clearly shows their cooking method needs improvement.
Overall, I feel like the restaurant wasn’t fully ready upon opening. Maybe change the way the seafood is grilled and make sure is fully cooked/hot. Would not recommend.
