The Calamari was good, it has a light batter and not rubbery at all. The seafood was fresh. My lobster was so fresh it tasted like it was pulled from a tank moments before cooking! It was also not overcooked which I was pleased about. I didn’t give a higher rating because the sauce we opted for (Cajun) was very oily. I have been to other seafood boil places whose sauces are very flavorful sauces without being complete oil slicks. Staff is friendly and dressed in cute sailor outfits. Service is OK, maybe it’s because we were sitting in the side dining room , but it took a while to get the cracker and our check. This place is still in soft opening so I hope they improve from here!

This is an interesting place. First off, it’s more a Chinese restaurant than a Cajun Crab/seafood place. They have many Chinese food dishes alongside the typical crab/crawfish/seafood options. Second, most everything from cups to fork/spoons are disposable. Third, the spicy is SPICY. I love spicy and hot foods but some of the grilled skewers set my mouth and world on fire. The crab with garlic butter sauce medium was more reasonable, as the sauce helped mute the overall spiciness.
I liked the place and am looking forward to going back and trying some of the hot pot dishes now that I know what to expect and better understand what type of restaurant this is. I do wish they had real silverware, I consider disposable stuff to be a waste and frankly just hard to use.

Ordered food to go, one of the workers had a bad attitude toward customers but the boss seemed nice. Got the king crab legs and realized there is mold on multiple pieces of the crabs. The crawfish I ordered was mostly black on the inside. Had to basically throw away over $50 worth of food. I’m never coming back again and I will report this place to the health services. The only good thing about the restaurant is that the place looked nice.

Had the shrimp lover combo with shrimp/crawfish and an order of garlic noodles. The garlic noodles had good flavor and the noodles are cooked to a nice al dente consistency. The seafood also tastes good, at mild Cajun flavor I didn’t taste much spiciness. The server is also super friendly and helpful, which is refreshing in this area.
Overall had a good experience, will come back to try some of their other dishes.

Ordered 1lb of Louisiana Cajun shrimp and lamb skewer. Hot, spicy, delicious.

This place reminds me of Boiling Crab. The service is good and the restaurant is clean. Food comes quickly. I had a lobster tail, mussels, and calamari. I wish I took a picture, but I didn’t.
The lobster tail was chewy. Mussels were good. But the calamari still has a lot of room for improvement. It was not crispy and the squid’s consistency is not quite right.
The sauce is buttery and you can choose the level of spiciness.
Since it is their soft opening week, we got a discount. Probably will try again when I have a craving for it.

We came for crabs but of course we did not just eat crabs.
This restaurant serves mostly spicy hot stuff but you can order foods specifying the level of ‘hotness’ you want starting with ‘not spicy’.
The interior decoration of the restaurant is interesting. When we arrived at around 5:20pm on a Friday, there was only one party dining inside. So, the restaurant wasn’t too busy. By the time we left, around 6:00pm, there were more customers. I would say there were about five to six parties inside. There were only two waitresses so service could be short when there were more customers. One party came in and had to ask for attention which they didn’t get. Eventually they left without ordering.
The crab was about twenty dollars a pound. The one we ordered was nominally 2.1 pounds but we could not tell if it was precisely weighed. The soup noodles we ordered were not impressive. I would say they were about average (3 stars) but the soup base didn’t seem so appetizing. The crab was OK. The little hot pot we ordered was also average. The prices are generally good though.
We came just to try their crab, and it wasn’t impressive. We have other more preferred restaurants for crab.

We had been thinking of going here for a long timeand finally did it. Boy, we’re we disappointed. The service was horrible. I had some questions about the menu. The waitress looked annoyed at my question and then just read from the menu. She served us wrong orders. We all ordered seafood vermicelli. Four prawns and three small clams is what we all got in our bowls. And the food had no flavor, even though there was spice in one of the bowls. I really haven’t been this disappointed un a long time. I would like ti describe more about the bad service, but I’m not very fast typing on a phone

Lovely lunch with a friend before going to airport~~First try, but no regret. Highly recommend. Very Friendly and warm staff. Fresh sea food and amazing taste.
If you’ve never been and you’re a seafood lover, you NEED to experience this place.
The crawfish, shrimps, oysters and crab legs were superbly good.
Sorry, forgot to take a decent picture before starting to eat. Can not wait to eat!!!! Lol~~~

Service was good. Food was okay, dungeness crabs were great, clawfish tasted bad like plastic, shrimps were okay. Garlic noodles were not expected, it’s way too spicy. Oysters seemed fresh but not great. Won’t recommend to friends.
