My wife and I are truckers. I’m originally from here but she’s from Louisiana so that’s where we live. We’re up here in the Dayton area visiting my family. This place is legit as good as any seafood boil restaurant anywhere, even as good as the ones in Louisiana. We would know, we’ve been to tons of places. Some good, some not good. This one? PHENOMENAL. Grayson was our server and he was fantastic. From the instant we walked in to the moment we departed, the service was SUPERB. He brought out all their sauces in little sample cups for us to try before we bought them, and normally my wife and I would both stick to Cajun seasoned garlic butter for our boil, but today, we went outside the box and got the Asian blend. It tasted like a Cajun Asian fusion. A little sweet, very savory, and perfectly seasoned. When I tell you this was the best flavored seafood boil we’ve ever had, I’m not over exaggerating. Hands down, bar none, one of the best seafood boils I’ve ever tried that wasn’t spread out over a picnic table in someone’s back yard. These guys are as good, if not better than any seafood boil restaurant we’ve been to even in Louisiana.
My wife, who normally just sticks to garlic butter non spicy fell in love with the Asian sauce too, and ended up eating Asian not spicy, and she also felt like it was one of the best boil places she’s been to.
Side note: try their flavored non alcoholic drinks. I had the Vietnamese coffee and it was the best ice coffee I’ve ever had. She had the mango tea, and it was so good! We both loved the drinks.
The decor is beautiful. I was so hungry I didn’t get any pictures of the food, but trust us Louisiana people on this review. We won’t let you down.
Be sure to ask for Grayson as your server. He was so polite and his customer service skills are out of this world good. You won’t regret it if you come here. Enjoy!

Don’t sleep on this place. I’ve been wanting a good boil and they delivered! Biggest crawfish I have seen in years, scallops and shrimp were amazing and the medium spice level was perfect for me. I did the Bleu Wave special for seasoning on the boil and as a plus ALL of their sauces are gluten free (I am celiac). Eggrolls and pho were had by my husband and he loved all of it. In total with tip just over $100 but it was a lot of food. The people there were also so nice and attentive and answered every question I had. Definitely going back and bringing more to try!

Went there in August for a birthday party for early dinner. The food was good and the oysters were fresh. We ordered a lot of food so it was a bit chaotic but the server got mostly everything correct and was very attentive. I will definitely come back again to try their other dishes when less chaotic

We went here for a birthday dinner and really enjoyed our seafood boils. Large crab legs, lots of shrimp and muscles. The bleu wave seasoning sauce was bursting with flavors. Our waiter was super kind and very attentive. The restroom was very clean. We will definitely be back. It was worth our 40 minute drive.

Went there for lunch. Was worried since we were the only ones there. Food was delicious! We both got a seafood boil. Now I got the garlic butter. (Think someone forgot the garlic). And the lowest ‘heat’ level. Now my boil juice tasted bland, but the seafood was fresh and made up the difference. Looking forward to our next visit.

We have been talking about going here but have slept on it… Wow. You need to get in here if you haven’t tried it yet. Food was great, staff was wonderful, atmosphere is awesome. We didn’t do the boil but will next time. The egg rolls and chicken were a little expensive and the lemon aid was not worth it’s price. But the main dishes were great portions and we had leftovers. There’s also a full bar which we didn’t partake of.

If you’re looking for the best seafood in Dayton, Ohio, Blue Wave Seafood Restaurant is a must-visit! We came with a big group and were seated quickly — super easy and hassle-free. The service was fast and friendly, and the food came out piping hot and full of flavor. The sauces were absolutely amazing and took the meal to the next level. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Dayton, this is the go-to spot for fresh, flavorful seafood with great customer service. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be back!

Came here for lunch with my daughter and we both ordered the pho. Unfortunately, it was very bland and had very little meat in it. There was almost no flavor to the broth, and I had to ask the wait staff for several mini cups of fish sauce just to make it taste like anything at all.
Service was fine and the atmosphere was decent, but the food itself was disappointing—especially for a pho place. I don’t mind seasoning to taste, but the broth should start with a flavor of its own.
