We ordered delivery from this establishment on Uber Eats as a “treat” after a long week, and it turned into one of the most traumatic experiences of my pregnancy.
Shortly after eating the food, both my fiancé and I became extremely ill. We each required emergency medical care, medication & IV fluids. I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and had to be treated in Labor & Delivery after severe gastrointestinal distress triggered contractions. I was monitored for hours to ensure my baby was safe.
The physical pain was intense, but the fear of potentially going into premature labor was even worse. No expecting mother should have to experience that after simply ordering dinner.
Medical staff indicated the illness was food-related. What was meant to be a simple night in became a frightening medical emergency for both of us.
This has disrupted our work and forced family members to step in to care for our toddler while we recovery. I sincerely hope this business reviews its food safety and handling practices so no other family has to endure something like this.

The food is so, so good!! At the time I was attending Columbia University and lived right across the street. We. Were. Regulars, my daughter and I. The owner/manager (I suspect was either Korean or Chinese) was a mild-mannered man who always seemed to be there making sure things ran smoothly. We still talk about this place five years later. Can’t wait to re-visit NYC. This will be one of our first stops!

The food was pretty good. I got the pick one seafood boil option with 1/2 oysters and 1/2 snow crab. I recommend you get extra potato’s and corn, it was worth the price and fills you up.

The seafood is fresh and tasteful with a great combination of sauce and garlic. Side dishes are excellent especially with soft crabs and sweet potato chips. Strongly recommend to finish boil shrimps and clams with garlic pasta like seafood pasta!

I’ve made three trips to this gem of a spot so far, and honestly, every single one has been an absolute delight from start to finish. Let me break it down for you, because each visit had its own special charm that made me want to come back for more.
Starting with my very first time there: We were greeted by this incredibly friendly male server who was the epitome of patience and hospitality. He took the time to walk us through the menu like we were complete newcomers—which, let’s be real, we kind of were on a few items—and his explanations were so clear and engaging that I actually walked away feeling like I’d learned something new about the cuisine. It wasn’t just rote recitation; he shared little tips and fun facts that elevated the whole ordering process. What really impressed me, though, was how he handled the table right next to us. Those folks were being downright rowdy and rude—chatting loudly, complaining about everything—but he treated them with unwavering respect and professionalism the entire time. I was on the verge of saying something myself, but his calm demeanor diffused the situation effortlessly. Major props to him for keeping the vibe positive for everyone!
Then, on my second visit, we had this wonderful young lady as our server, and she was attentive in the best possible way—anticipating our needs without ever hovering or making us feel rushed. She checked in just the right amount, refilled drinks seamlessly, and even recommended pairings that turned out to be spot-on hits. I could go on about her warmth and efficiency all day, but I’d probably fill a novel if I listed every little thing she did right. Adding to the fun atmosphere were the TVs scattered around, playing a mix of entertaining clips and shows that kept things lively without being distracting. Trust me, once you’re there digging into your meal, you’ll get exactly why they enhance the experience—it’s like the perfect background buzz that makes the place feel alive and welcoming.
My third time around was just as memorable, if not more so, because it felt like the staff had somehow upped their game even further. We had another fantastic server who balanced friendliness with efficiency, making sure our orders were spot-on and delivered piping hot. The food, as always, was delicious—fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and portions that left us satisfied but not stuffed. But the real cherry on top was when the manager swung by toward the end of our meal to personally ask about our experience. In the moment, I was so caught up in the glow of it all that I could only stammer out a few enthusiastic words, but looking back, I wish I’d elaborated more on how consistently outstanding everything has been. Sharing these outings with my girl has made them even sweeter; it’s become our go-to spot for creating those little memorable moments together.
She visits often for the oysters now. So you probably know who we are from this comment.
All in all, this place nails it on service, ambiance, and quality every time. Keep crushing it with that stellar work… or hey, don’t if you don’t want to—I’m not here to micromanage! Just know you’ve got some seriously happy repeat customers in us.

If I could give this 100 stars I would. Great accommodation. Food was 10/10. Crab legs are huge and full of meat in every bite. This location is lowkey better than Broadway and I was shocked!!!

Read to before ordering. I ordered a seafood boiler, a pick-2 combo of lobster and shrimp. Picked up and brought home for my daughter’s birthday dinner. Of course, she saw it on TikTok. Everything was overcooked, but at least the shrimp was edible; the lobster was not. But the sauce was good, still not worth the $65 I paid. I called to get a resolution before addressing my grievances online. No one picked up the phone. I’ve been in the restaurant, it’s not that busy. I left a message and sent an email requesting a credit to give it another try or a refund. So far, I’ve heard nothing. Too bad, I would have been a repeat customer.
