The food is so bad. The sea food scallops have sand mixed in with the noodle. the calamari rings are so so. overall, good environment to chill but not good for

All the food was old, we ordered two pounds of lobster, scallops and crab legs. All the tasted bad and old. They made us change table twice. Very disappointed, we left without eating and then we went straight to other restaurant.

Food is very mid to low quality. The atmosphere and vibe are nice and all. Service is alright. You definitely pay for what you get. The presentation of the food is great but the taste and quality is very low.

The service was absolutely amazing. Seafood was fresh and delicious. The sauce on the crab dish was really good. The scallops and calms hit the spot!
Food is on point! I went with a large group (~10) for a friend’s bday. Each dish looked great and tasted even better. I had the Godly fried rice which comes with oxtail in it. 10/10! I didn’t even need soy sauce for how well seasoned it was. As the pic shows, the portion size is huge! I had a whole lunch out of my leftovers the next day. Already planning to visit again with friends soon.Parking: Restaurant is located in a strip mall kind of setup that has plenty of parking. There are limited spaces immediately infront the restaurant but lots more in the wider strip center parking area.

Pretty good food here. Both the deep-fried dishes are not too oily. The only dish that I don’t like is the Salted Egg Pasta. It totally tasted like curry instead of salted egg.

It took 15 minutes for the server to take our order, it wasn't busy at the time and I remember seeing a worker talk with a customer for a while. My food and my parent's came out great and was good. However I'm giving a low review because my sister had to wait double the amount of time for her food because they forgot to make it, which was forgivable. However, she told me after the before they brought out her food, that she saw it sitting at the kitchen counter for 5 minutes before it was brought out. She didn't say anything at the time because she thought it was the worker's food since they were talking with another coworker right next to her plate. What should have been a 15 minute wait for a plate took 30 minutes. Overall horrible service and found it hard to get a server's help. It seemed like the worker's would rather chat than give us our food. Will get it to-go next time!

My family and I traveled almost an hour to come to this place Sunday night. We got to their establishment at 8:55pm to our pleasant surprise their host said they were closed. Per their website, it says that they close at 10:30pm. We were told that (hope this is the real reason) “when business is slow we close the kitchen and send our cooks home.” They were the least bit empathetic and didn’t care that we traveled to come here. For a business to close an entire 1.5 hours early is absolutely crazy. If I miraculously return, I may update my review…but depending on recent reviews doesn’t seem like I’m missing much.
Food is too OVERPRICED for quantity that u get. This restaurant is more expensive than high end seafood restaurants I've been to. Food is extremely SALTY. Don't be fooled by tiktokers & IG influencere paid reviews. Never

Service and atmosphere were great. The employees were very attentive and making sure everything was taken care of.Now for the food, the best thing we had was the noodles themselves.We ordered:- Garlic Shrimp Noodles- Surf and Turf- Fried Calamari- Fried Softshell Crab- Passion Fruit Mojito- Passion Fruit JuiceAppetizers were decent but the breading lacked flavor. 4/10The shrimp itself was cooked well, but lacked flavor. 4/10The steak was ok and more fat than meat expected. (This can vary and be dependent on what cut you’re given so keep that in mind.) 6.8/10The garlic noodles were great. Flavorful, cooked well, and very fresh. 8/10Also the passion fruit Mojito and juice were great. 10/10

Their lobster and noodle dish was the only good thing we tried. These pictures make the food look better than they tasted, mainly because my picture taking skills are ah-ma-zing. Okay, back to the food. Lobster noodles, good, but not good enough to go back for it. Everything else, blandish. Ae ordered a couple of drinks but never got them, nor did they refill our water pitchers. Service was lukewarm.

The food was flavorful and delicious but it took some time for things to get to our table. I would go back to try something different.

I came here for a girls night with my friend and there were plenty of seating and live music inside! The place was very spacious and our waitress was really quick and helped us get our order in before happy hour ended in literal minutes LOL. She was super sweet! We shared the drunken lobster so we got a medium size and it honestly was a good portion. The flavor was so yummy and incredible! The lobster meat really just falls right off the shell without any toughness at all also! Definitely would be back to try more on the menu and for more pasta and lobster haha!
