Nice seafood. Felt fresh and big, but fell short on the sauce options. Garlic butter sauce had no seasoning and I wouldn’t go back because the sauce options for the flavoring for a proper seafood boil bag are just not there. Super friendly and thorough staff, very lovely.

This place exceeded my expectations! Prices were affordable and portions good. I had the Cajun seafood box (fresh, flavorful), tofu teriyaki, green dragon roll, sweet potato roll, and honeydew slush. Inside is a bit small but seating was comfortable. No need to tip here is a plus. I’ll come back.

The entire experience here feels well-considered. Every dish tasted good and was served properly. The place rendered me silent. I return often because service is dependably good. Despite any shortcomings, I'll return, maybe as a regular.

I just tried the seafood boil combo #3 with garlic butter sauce (medium spicy). It was very well seasoned and flavorful! The seafood was fresh and the corns & potatoes were just what I wanted it to be. Will be coming back 100%.

My household orders from here regularly. Our go to is the chicken teriyaki with fried rice (for 55 cents extra), although I do switch it up with the chicken+shrimp box at times. Their bento boxes are good value if you prefer a slightly more substantial meal. I did not like the noodles (+75 cents); ordered twice and both times they were chewy and didn't taste as good as the fried rice. Also love their sushi rolls: shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, volcano, rock & roll and california roll. Orders placed at night (8pm or later) have not always been as good as those placed in the afternoon or evening. Service is okay, although sometimes slow, and the space has a lot of character. A few times the booths were not super clean and there are sketchy characters hanging around outside on the corner at times. We usually pick up from the store, and occasionally have eaten at the restaurant.

I came to New York this weekend and wanted to find some delicious seafood. So I googled this restaurant and went to there because the reviews were so good. Their spicy curry sauce is the best hoisin sauce I've ever tasted, and the snow crab and lobster I ordered were fresh. The restaurant's service was also excellent. The owner was very kind and gave us some whole crayfish to taste. Although it is February now, the crayfish is still fresh! I'm looking forward to coming back in April for seasonal crawfish, it's a great experience for me, and I highly recommended this restaurant! Go and try it!

I ordered six times through Seamless from this restaurant. Never dined-in. Delivery is fast and delivery guys are friendly. Food in my opinion is delicious. Usually my go-to item is: Chicken Bento Box and for my spouse - Salmon Bento Box. Plus we adding couple of sushi rolls. Last time we got our Bento boxes and Spicy tuna roll and California roll. Both rolls suppose to come with added spicy mayo. Wishful thinking. There were no any kind of mayo was found. Is not about money (spicy mayo is 0.55 extra only, per roll), I just craved to try it with spicy mayo. But never got a chance. Still will try next time, maybe chef will read order more carefully and I get a chance to experience sushi roll with spicy mayo.
