Their crab fried rice is special. Yes I know they are a seafood boil place, but that crab fried rice was probably the best crab fried rice ive ever had. I also tried ‘very well made’ fried catfish basket with ‘tasty’ fries and a ‘delicious’ alcoholic drink who’s name I cant remember. Dont even ask what the appetizer i ordered because we ate it so fast; Either I had to have been that hungry or it had to be that good.
I do however remember my amazing service. They didnt make me feel neglected in any way and really helped us with the ordering process. Solid down do earth waitresses indeed. However, i must admit they weren’t busy, which was a surprise based on the quality and price range. Meh, my food came out quick and I had amazing service ao them not being busy probably worked out in my favore.
The interior was also decorated very appropriately for a seafood boil spot. Very open design that still had separate dinning zones. The mirror next to our table provided additional fun photo opportunities. Oh yea, and They passed my clean utensils test as well as my drinking water test, as most seattle area restaraunts do these days.
One thing im disappointed about was missing their happy hour. Their drinks are delicious and the happy hour prices are great. Its only been a week or so and im already planning my next visit for more food and happy hour drinks…. Hopefully I find a good parking spot as it can be tricky in this area.

Fantastic seafood restaurants. A super fun and tasty experience. A fairly expensive place but worth it for a special occasion. Solid drink menue as well. I will be back for sure. Highly recommend. King crab and scallops were over the top. Noodles are a must to soak up the extra sauce.

Used to be regulars at the Kent location and then discovered the Bellevue location when parents moved to Newcastle. This Seattle location is sooo convenient- same amazing quality and love their scallop fried rice (lightly and perfectly seasoned) and shrimp with heads in house sauce medium spicy! We always take the left over sauce home, add a can of diced tomatoes and have meal #2 over pasta! Picture is our meal next day with their amazing sauce. Forgot to take pic of our food there- too busy peeling and eating

Walked in and immediately was greeted by KAY. SHE IS THE BEST! She had great energy and answered all the question my bestie and I had. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make our Togo order seamless so we could enjoy back at the apartment with our mimosas awaiting us. Thank you so much for all the plastic and spice hookups! Will
Be back again for sure!

Amazing seafood boil experience. We were given samples of each sauce so we could decide which one to order (it was tough to decide on one because they were all really good). The sour apple and fruit paradise drinks were flavorful and had great presentation, and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend the lobster, shrimp, snow crab, and mussels with house sauce. Will definitely be coming bacj

I can’t say enough good things about this place! The seafood boil was loaded with flavor, perfectly seasoned and buttery in all the best ways. The chicken wings were crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and seasoned just right. And that fried catfish? Golden, tender, and absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. Definitely one of my new go-to spots when I’m craving great food and generous portions!

Went here at 9:30pm, the place was new, spacious, and clean. Sat very quickly by a kind lady who also took our order. The seafood boil came out super fast, it wasn’t bad, but I wished there was a little more flavoring. However, we did really enjoy the cajun fries and garlic butter noodles. The cocktails we had were yummy as well. Def give this place a try!

Party of two seated immediately. Fast and friendly service and free drink promotion for grand opening!
Restaurant interior is large, well-lit, and has plenty of bar and regular table seating.
We ordered the #2 combo with Cajun sauce, medium spicy. Mussels and shrimp were both very fresh and flavorful, and the garlic butter plus Cajun seasonings was addictively good.
Would definitely come back again to try more!

I was NOT expecting the snow crab to be that thick and juicy. You can definitely get bang for your buck here. All of the items in my bag were jumbo sized: meaty clams, shrimp bigger than my fingers. The servers were also very attentive. Ive never been given samples of sauce before and I really appreciated having the chance to taste them before I chose. I’ll be coming back for sure!
