Ordered the Jumbo tray Seafood Galore boil with Tom Yum Sauce (seasonal) + Medium spice. The seafood galore has crab legs, shrimp, crawfish, and clams. Comes with corn and potatoes. We got a decent amount of food. About ~20 shrimp, ~20 clams, and 2 crabs total. 2 half corn cobs and 6 potatoes. It’s advertised to feed 2-3 people, but if you have big appetites it’ll feed 2 at MOST. They were out of crawfish unfortunately, so I think they ended up charging us for the BYO seafood boil instead. We added on a lobster tail which also good. Flavor was amazing! You should definitely keep the Tom Yum sauce year round, it was so so good. Tangy, spicy, sweet, sour, and garlicky. Seafood was cooked nicely, not rubbery at all. Waiter was very kind. Service was fast. We went on Halloween (Tuesday) and it was dead.

This is not the place to go if you’re looking for good food. I wasted $135 tonight on food that had so much salt that it burned my mouth. The seafood tasted very old and the noodles would have been better for $7 at any Chinese restaurant. VERY overpriced for the quality of food. Will never go back and I DO NOT RECOMMEND anyone to dine here.

Listen, while in town we were searching for the best seafood boil place here. We tried a few and have experienced some others out of area, no comparison this place was unmatched! Amazing food, great portions, great service and excellent drinks. Wish I could do 10 stars. A must visit.
