Anthony's Seafood - Large shrimp Po-boy sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

First impression of the place, it has a small diner vibe with all glass windows. The place smells and looks clean. Very pretty beach decorations that make you feel like you're in Virginia Beach. The food is to-go and you just go up to order. There's chairs for you to sit while you wait for your order. I decided to go here since I'm originally from NoVa and have been on the hunt for Banh Mi ever since my go to place in Richmond went down in quality. I was a a little disappointed that they no longer sold the Vietnamese food that they had many years ago that I had seen on previous reviews (lemme tell you, I would've bought everything) but I was glad they still had banh mi on the menu. My significant other got a cat fish po boy. Combination banh mi: It is HUGE! the sandwhich is about a foot long. The filling has all of the normal veggies such as cilantro and pickled carrots and radish but the meats were a bit different. There was some sort of sausage in it but there was also your normal Vietnamese ham and pork. I was a bit disappointed that the bread wasn't a Vietnamese baguette. It was a bit softer than that and also looks nothing like it. Still, the flavors were the closest to Banh Mi Ba Le. My quest to find bread that is the right texture unfortunately has failed Newport News and its surrounding areas. But, the meats are the closest I can get around here. Catfish po boy: we got 6" because my partner wasn't super hungry but this thing was still HUGE! we had 4 pieces on fish on it and it was HEAVY. 100% worth your money and it tasted great! Overall, a very big bang for your buck. I just wished they still served more Vietnamese dishes. Next time I want to try their shrimp though. read more

Yum! Saw all the great reviews and was going to be in the area and love seafood so stopped in and this place did not disappoint! Food: Jumbo Fried Shrimp platter had lightly fried shrimp which were delicious and a generous serving of fries. They were nice and crispy crinkle cut a favorite! Hush puppies were good and the Cole slaw wasn't my favorite but I am particular about my Cole slaw. The 6in sausage po-boy was also delicious and huge! The gentleman who took our order was kind and friendly. There are seats inside to wait for your order but they do not allow you to eat inside even though there are tables. Just an FYI! It's pretty bare bones inside but still good food! Will be back! read more

update 11/18/2024 - two years later and the food is still consistently good, they haven't gone up in price that much and you still get your food fairly quickly. The coleslaw is still over chopped in my opinion, but the flavor has gotten much better. and I just started eating pork again and tried their grilled pork Bahn mi sandwich. It was really good, the bread was soft, the meat was grilled and flavorful and plenty of pickled veggies and fresh cilantro. read more

First time, I had the three piece trout fillet dinner, it was very good, came with hush puppies, fries, and cold slaw. The service was excellent, the wait was not long. The ambiance was typical for a fast foot takeout seafood establishment. Nothing fancy. I will be returning for the trout dinner. read more

The seafood was excellent! I highly recommend the fried fish! We tried the Bahn Mi sandwich it got high reviews but I wasn't impressed with it until I put a piece of the fish on it. We tried to go back the next day to get the fried fish and French fries again but they closed an hour early. read more

Very good seafood. I would definitely recommend. Can not dine in but that is ok. Very nice people to deal with.

Looking for a quick bite before our long drive back home, we stumbled across Anthony's Seafood on Yelp. Apparently they have the best Vietnamese sandwiches aka banh mi here. Growing up in a Vietnamese household, I know what good banh mis taste like! I wasn't disappointed when I tried both the special and the grilled pork ones. First off, for $5-$5.50, these sandwiches are huge. Think of a large sub- that's how massive they are. Both were jam packed with delicious, tender, and nicely flavored meat. There was so much meat that it felt overwhelming at times. Give this place a try! They are currently doing takeout only but you can go inside and order. read more

I discovered this place a week or so ago. I just moved to the area. I can't stop going. I've eaten there every day for the week I've been here. To management: You should open on Sundays. THE FOOD IS EXCELLENT! THE SERVICE IS FANTASTIC! My waistline has expanded, but that's on me! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

The hush puppy recipe needs work. Tony's seafood in Portsmouth Virginia has the best takeout seafood.

Takeout during Covid has become the norm in 2020. The hubs and I had completed a few errands, and Anthony's seafood was within the vicinity of our location. They have a small parking lot, so keep your eyes out and gps on as it's easy to pass by. Upon entering, I noticed a beach theme in decor. It's very clean with a few tables and chairs. Three large framed menus were displayed to the left on the wall by the counter. It looked like there was only one person working that day. The hubs and I took a few minutes before we decided on a 1/2 lb of fried shrimp, small fries, 12 inch hot sausage po-boy, 12 inch shrimp po-boy, and special bahn mi sandwich. It took about ten minutes for our order to be ready to take back home. So... let's start with the special bahn mi sandwich. It was advertised as a combination cold cut of grilled pork sausage, Vietnamese ham, house mayo, pate, pickled carrots, daikon, cucumber, jalapeño, and cilantro. It was the least favorite for me. The bread used was a hero loaf, and not the typical airy baguette. The shredded carrots lacked the sour pickled flavor. The cool sliver of cucumber was somewhat limp, but the meats were ok. It was hard to savor for more since it lacked the aromatic flavors and textures that would make a bahn mi divine. The seasoning for the shrimp was quite salty and bland. 12 inch hero loaf was utilized for both shrimp and hot sausage po-boys. The description stated that it would be dressed with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and pickles. Umm the hot sausage was deep fried to death.... As for the shrimp po- boy it was crispy. That is crucial, as no one wants soggy shrimp where the breading falls off. I wished mayo was laced on the bread to revitalize it's flavor. I did love the abundance of shrimp in my po-boy. Tarter, hot sauce, and cocktail sauce is available upon request. This is a great place for those on a budget. It can easily feed a family of four. The hubs and I will try Anythonys Seafood again. The crab cake sandwich caught my eye on the first visit ;) Support local! read more

I've passed Anthony's Seafood many times. It's like one of those spots where if you're not familiar, you won't stop on because you're judging the book by it's cover. The Yelp reviews is what caused me to order lunch from Anthony's. I had the clam strips platter. You get a lot of food. Plenty of clams and fries, 3 hush puppies and coleslaw. I loved the clams and French fries (although they could've been a little easy on the seasoning salt for the fries). The coleslaw wasn't too bad. The hush puppies were no bueno (and I was looking forward to saving them for later). I don't know if they were fried for too long or maybe it was a bad batch. Either way, they were a no. I would definitely return for more clams and I may try something else. Plus, the prices are reasonable as well!! Worth stopping by and trying it at least once. read more

This place is Fantastic. Get it straight in your head. This is a carry out spot that does seafood Cajun style, and Vietnamese. Not some fusion nonsense. All the fried seafood was great. The beans and rice were solid. The Bahn Mi was better that you'll get in HCMC. Go! read more

Shrimp was fried perfectly, had a side of coleslaw that was also good. The whiting was also cooked perfectly!!

Not sure if there is new management but a year ago I was almost poisoned. In what can only be considered as rancid and spoiled fried shrimp. Never went back. It was ok the couple times I went before the incident. But I can't take that chance read more

Great food and fast service. I get all my Banh Mi's here when I'm in town and they never disappoint!

I ordered the jumbo fried shrimp dinner with fries, plus a side of hush puppies. The hush puppies and jumbo shrimp were my favorite thing out of my meal. I did not realize hush puppies came with dinner already so having extra was a bonus. For the price, I will definitely return to this establishment. The cashier was very nice as well. Only tip to patrons is to get your own target sauce, the ones provided come in a packet like ketchup. read more

Was skeptical at first but this place is SO GOOD! Stopped by just before 10 am (an early lunch) and wa surprised they were already open. Yay for that! We ordered a catfish basket, shrimp po boy and a sausage po boy. We had a 20 min drive back home and were worried about the shrimp/ catfish getting soggy from steam, but surprisingly it was still hot and crispy once we got home. Food was hot, fresh and we got a lot of food for the prices. The catfish basket had so many fries that all 3 of us could split them (the equivalent of the size of 3 large fries from a fast food place). Didn't get a picture of the catfish basket but the hush puppies were crispy on outside and soft and delicious on inside, sandwiches were so big we saved half for dinner. Sausage was mildly spicy. Will be back for more soon! Pictures for reference. read more

Best fish spot on the peninsula..seasoned and always hot with decent prices too ... highly recommend

Best Po' Boyd in town, hands down. The price for food is definitely affordable and the staff are great people!

The guy suggested the shrimp po boy. They have options for an6" or 12" for $3 more, so why not? It came with a mountain of shrimp. The setup of the restaurant is more to go style, and I also saw they sell uncooked seafood to take home to cook read more

As a New Orleans native, this place is my number 1 go-to for po-boys! The fried shrimp and fried oyster po-boys "dressed" are a must-have! The shrimp and oysters are seasoned well and fried to a great texture (not soft and soggy like a lot of the other restaurants I've experienced here). I would recommend this place if you are looking for a little taste of New Orleans. read more

Doesn't look like much when you enter but the menu is so diverse. From southern food to authentic Vietnamese food, I knew I had to try their banh mi. As someone who grew up eating banh mi, this is probably the most authentic version of it in hampton roads. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft inside. The vegetables were pickled perfectly. Highly recommend if you want banh Mi! I'll have to try their southern food next time. read more

So glad we tried this place! We got a pork banh mi, shrimp po boy, and wings with fries. The bahn mi was super flavorful and a huge footlong for only $5! The shrimp po boy was completely stuffed and overflowing with fried shrimp. Wings were crispy fried but juicy inside. Really great, but I prefer sauced wings so I probably won't get again. Everything was a great value for the $. I will definitely be back. read more

You don't come here for the atmosphere, or the decor, or service, but because the food is great. If you come here you must order the 12 inch Shrimp PoBoy Sandwich. Massive flavor and an enormous serving of huge shrimp. Definitely not like those miniscual wannabe sandwiches you get at comercial spots. My wife had a Fried Flounder platter and the serving was massive and the fish had good seasoning. This area is very competitive when it comes to fried fish and Anthony's Seafood holds it's own. This humble hole in the wall is a local favorite for valid reason. If you are craving a Shrimp PoBoy that will put you to sleep, make a trip to this little gem serving fried goodness. read more

What an awesome find! Anthony's seafood is easy to miss. I've been working two blocks down for six months and haven't noticed it, and been going to the vet right next door for longer without it being on my radar. I am so glad it somehow made it on my radar though! The restaurant is small but very well decorated, open, and clean. There isn't a lot of seating but what they do have is very cute. Like the name says, they do offer an array of seafood dishes - most of them being fried. What the hidden diamond though is their bahn mi sandwiches (what brought me there in the first place). For a huge portion, it's less than $6 and will fill for you right quick! The veggies are so fresh and the meat so flavorful it'll knock you off your feet. The service is also very efficient. I've called in once for pick up and my food was ready exactly when they said it would be. The other time I just dropped by and within ten minutes they had my bahn mis ready to go. The gentleman I've dealt with is also very friendly and helpful both of the times I've been there. Anthony's is definitely my spot whenever I've craving a bahn mi! read more

WOW! This little gem of a fast seafood restaurant is right on time. In the old Waffle House building but newly renovated, Anthony's Seafood has entered into the restaurant world. Out picking up my wifes car from the shop today we passed it on Mercury Blvd in Hampton. Decided to swing by. I ordered two fish sandwich combo's . We end up getting a sandwich with enough fish on it to feed a family. A ton of piping hot crinkle fries and a drink all for $5.99 each. It was absolutly wonderful! This place also has Vietnam sandwiches that I will be trying next time. The place is nice and clean and the custormer service is top of the line (really nice and friendly people). They don't delever but there is call in for pick up. REALLY, REALLY GOOD! Give them a try! read more

I was told my total was $59 for a 3pc whiting platter, 1 pc talapia with 6 shrimp, whiting fish sandwich combo, 2 crab eggrolls, 1lb fried shrimp, and 6 wings over the phone. Get to the restaurant and now my order is $72! We even calculated it before we got there and the total was $59. Where the rest come from? Your food isn't that good for me to pay $72 for that amount of food. You people are crazy if you do! I will go to Anna's they are just as good! read more

My favorite place for lunch can't beat the price & the kind face I see when I enter this hidden gem! Upon arrival you second guess yourself bc it's not as inviting... you kinda want to roll right back out the parking lot, but then you say "what the hell let's see it looks and smell like. You enter and is greeted with old 90's beach decor, thriving plants a fan ( southern sign that the cook is passionate and loves to cook bc it gets hot but wants the customers to feel a breeze) and a big bank teller glass enclosed kitchen which I hate(bc if you come into our community ( Hampton is indeed majority thriving Melanated Kings and Queens) and surrounded yourself in glass as if we are vicious animals! Ok so back to the point, the gentleman behind the glass is friendly, and always suggests good things and remembers my face. He says he's aunt is from Louisiana (confirmation why there's a fan!) I get the whitings sandwich is phenomenal if you order it the "Banks way" Whiting sandwich heavy mayo, pickles, lettuce, onion, tomato, and medium old bay seasoning sprinkled or on the side so you can jazz your "Banks way" up how you like. It's mad tasty ( some say whiting has. I taste.) my friends always get the crab cake sandwiches it looks good, my other friend get the fried shrimp lunch, dinner or pie boy! I too confirm it's chef kiss . I want to try the rice and beans or gumbo next just nervous. People only buy it for the PRICE (Dont ever increase if you want steady customers bc shrimp shack and other places has the sandwiches for a couple bucks more but all my classmate and coworkers come here bc of priand the quantity, but ordering of the banks way amps up the Taste to what would be just an ok sandwich! $6.00 w tax included unsaid insane deal! read more

Don't judge a book by its cover or facade. Probably the best Bahn Mi in the area. Shrimp Po' boy was on point also.

Random Yelp find during a drive from the Va eastern shore. A small, carry-out spot that has a few tables inside. Very odd menu, full of various seafood options and Vietnamese banh mi. The food is quite good, and the price is excellent. The "special" banh mi was great, fried soft shell crab was excellent, crab cake was pretty good for the price. Sides were really good, we like the rice and beans and collard greens. Overall excellent for the price, service was friendly, and food was quite good. Would return again if I was driving by. read more
