    love Cajun seafood from Boil Daddy! This time, we went to the Stanton location. We ordered the seafood we wanted, including shrimp, clams, and mussels. The corn, sausage, and potato were also perfectly blended with the sauce!! Not only seafood, we also got the sweet chili wings!! And this big fish and chips basket... The fish was so HUGE!!! Ending? Ice chu fried cream puff! So unique! IG: socalhkfoodies

    Was disappointed. Sadly parking is ok but it's really dirty outside. Walked in with friends was nice and empty. We decided to share. It was 3 of us unfortunately we were all disappointed. It was not that flavorful portions were small. Expected more. I won't be coming back for the amount we paid was not worth it.

    Placed the order via DoorDash for pickup. Parking was ample and free right in front of the shop. The young lady at the cash register was polite and friendly. My order was ready upon arrival. Ample seats to eat inside too. I got myself the food and loved the texture of the item but I felt extremely overwhelmed by the raw garlic taste. I wish I had known how much raw garlic was used for the food because I would have gotten the sauce on the side instead. I couldn't eat much of the order because it was overwhelmingly garlic-ky. If you are sensitive to raw garlic taste and odor like me, this is something really good to keep in mind during ordering. I would love to return and try their other food items. Everything tasted great texture wise otherwise and I would imagine how good the food is had it not for the raw garlic.

    I Placed An Online Delivery Through InstaCart Last Thursday, 6/18/26. First Time Trying One Of The Cajun Combos. The Special Deal Through InstaCart Is Buy One Get One Free Combo. I Ordered The Boatswain's Catch Combo. Compared To Other Seasoning Sauces I've Had -- Honestly I've Had Better. It Wasn't That Flavorful. I Chose Medium Spicy & There Wasn't A Kick To It!! But, Everything Tasted Fresh. My Husband Had Their Version Of 'Fish & Chips'. He Really Like The Fish. I Chose Regular Fries & Tastes Very Bland. They Didn't Even Taste As If They Were Tossed With Salt.

    Underrated spot! Loved the seafood boil especially the fish and chips! The space is a little small but there wasn't a wait line when we came on a Saturday night. I would definitely come back here again :). IG/TIKTOK: @janelleatsocal

    Came here with my parents and we enjoyed their seafood boil as well as other food items. We got the spicy daddy sauce with our seafood boil, shrimp garlic pasta, fried fish and wings. I really loved the fried fish with the spicy daddy sauce on the side. The service was nice and restaurant was clean. Would definitely come back for some seafood boil!

    Today I checked out Boil Daddy in Stanton and went all in on the seafood feast! We ordered lobster, snow crab, clams, mussels, peeled shrimp, and head-on shrimp tossed in their signature Daddy Sauce. Everything was fresh, juicy, and packed with bold Cajun garlic flavor. The garlic shrimp pasta was rich and buttery, while the steamed rice paired perfectly with the sweet shrimp. We also grabbed chicken wings and fries for the table, and they were crispy and flavorful. To finish things off, we treated ourselves to the fried ice cream puff for dessert. It was warm, crispy, sweet, and the perfect ending to a seafood feast. If you're a seafood lover looking for a fun, affordable boil spot in Orange County, Boil Daddy is definitely worth a visit!

    Boil Daddy truly had a great spread dedicated to their various seafood and fried menu items. From creamy pasta to Cajun fries, everything balanced out so well in terms of all the flavors and textures. The service and atmosphere was also warm and welcoming. I definitely would love to return to try more menu items and for my another seafood boil meal!

    A couple of friends and I were craving seafood boil but the popular restaurant had a two hour wait time. So I checked Yelp and found this location less than five minutes from. I was excited because the rating was high, but it should have went through the reviews a little better. They are located in a shopping center plaza with plenty of parking and only indoor seating. There was no line and a father/son were eating and I asked them, but they thought of the food and they said it was great. I proceed to order one of their combo meals with the Cajun Daddy house sauce mild. I also ordered a side of hot sauce. We also ordered a pound of crawfish and a pound of clams and an order of fries. The service was basic. They put out a paper on our table and brought out our food. They are very skimpy on the lemon, salt and pepper. You have to keep asking for more and they give you very little each time. Let me start off with the fries - they were soft, not crispy and lacked flavor. The seafood is not fresh. I repeat it is not fresh, it is frozen seafood. However, they prepare it, it is obvious that nothing is seasoned or marinated. Their house sauce, which is the daddy sauce didn't do any justice for the seafood. Highly disappointed, especially that we spent a pretty penny. I stopped eating the crawfish and the clams altogether. I continued eating the combo which came with a lobster, crab, legs, and shrimp with the head on. I just could not find any of the seafood tasty. The lobster was terrible, extremely overcooked and chewy. The shrimp, same thing. The crab, it was acceptable. The best thing in this bag was the sausage. There was also potatoes and corn, but I didn't bother to try it. So if you are looking for something quick with no line, come here. But if you want quality and are willing to wait, go somewhere else. I was quite surprised to see a lot of pick up orders taking place.

    Was craving some seafood and decided to drop by here after hearing good reviews! We got a spread of different seafood and were so full after eating it! We also got some fried mahalo shrimp, fish & chips and wings! The staff were friendly and gave us their recommendations. Best to end the meal with some fried ice cream puffs.

    The mussels by the pound (I didn't take a good picture of them while we were eating)

    The restaurant is small but they sure do put out some great food !!! Service was great, she covered our table which turned out to be a great idea !!! We ordered fried oysters, and fish and chips (both came with fries which you can have plain or cajun style !) we ordered one plain one Cajun . Then we got an order of one pound of mussels , they come with Cajun sauce or the garlic butter sauce or the two mixed together!! We choose the garlic butter Cajun sauce. When I said it the server taking the order said "good choice" and she was right !!!!! Not gonna lie the sauce is a little messy (they do provide gloves and a bib) but so DELICIOUS!!!!!! So good !!!

    Almost every time I come down to OC, I come here. It's not dusty or sticky and they try to make the…read moreinterior look modern and nice. The most recent time, we came at 8:30pm on weekday and there were 29 parties ahead of us (LOL), soooo plan ahead and join the waitlist through yelp. We probably waited about 30 minutes. Here are a few things I can think of to recommend: --Deep fried smelt fish ( i love smelt ) --Stir fried glass noodles with escargot and crab ( make sure to dip in the maggi sauce they give ) --House special mango salad ( squid & escargot ) --Razor clams ( sometimes sold out :( ) --Deep fried Quail ( this is one of the best ) --Stir fried water spinach with garlic ( for bowel movement assistance ) --Grilled garlic butter oysters ( the cheese one overpowers the oyster ) --Scallops with fish eggs --Coconut Swirly Escargot with Basil Leaves ( this is not my fave, but people i go with, love it ) Service is good.

    We had initially passed Oc & Lau Restaurant a few months back when we were getting dessert nearby…read more We were definitely intrigued by the amount of people waiting outside and could see through the window all the food on the table. After a quick look at the menu, we knew this was someplace we would enjoy. We were in town on a Sunday evening and knew we wanted to check it out. With the two locations, we got on the Yelp waitlist knowing they were both nearby each other. (Our mistake was not getting on the waitlist earlier, so we did have a wait a good while.). We had perused other Yelper reviews and had a list in mind of what we wanted. Definitely take the time to look at the menu beforehand because it is long and extensive. Right off the bat, out of razor clams! Bummer. Nonetheless, we still got a bunch of things. * Grilled King Scallop with Fish Eggs $27 - Nicely cooked. 4/5 * Grilled Escargot with Garlic Butter & Peppercorn $16 - Yum! 5/5 * Mango Squid Salad $14 - This was noted in so many reviews, and it did not disappoint. We ended up getting a second order! 5/5 * Crabs & Shrimp Fried Rice $17 - I was not a fan. It was just fried rice, nothing special. It lacked seasoning and definitely needed the accompanying sauce. 3/5 * Deep Fried Smelt Fish $15 - Another winner! I haven't seen smelt fish this large before and it was so good, we got a second order. 5/5 * Coconut Swirly Escargot with Basil Leaves $14 - This came in a pot with such a delicious sauce. I would have loved some noodles or something to eat all that sauce up with. 5/5 * Spicy Seasoned Grilled Shrimp $17 - This shrimp were a good size and did not disappoint. 4/5 * Escargot with Tamarind $15 - Our least favorite of the escargots we ordered. It wasn't bad, just okay. 3/5 * Complimentary dessert - I have no idea what was in this che beyond coconut cream and rice, but it was pretty good. I probably would have ordered it. Service was okay. Because they are so busy, they definitely do try to rush you out. We were still eating and someone came and brought dessert to our table. Mind you, we were literally still putting food in our mouths and I looked at the waitress perplexed. We told her we were still eating and going to order more, so she took the dessert away. There's definitely this anxiousness about the staff to turn over the tables, which I get with the long lines. But I think they could have addressed it a bit differently by simply asking instead of assuming.

When we ate the shrimps, we realized a lot of them stuck to the shell and tasted soft, not the usual crunch that you get in a shrimp. Tasted old and the texture was just off putting. The flavor and the other toppings were good though, but not good enough for me to come back since the shrimp should be the star of the dish. It was also super dead when we walked into the restaurant, but that shouldn't excuse old shrimp. I hope they read this review and take action.

    Quality HOT POT over here!…read more Place is a little hard to spot but be sure to lookout for the flagship name "Raising Claw". My bro and I opted out on the 55$ premium AYCE menu. The establishment really focuses on quality and representation. The first round order took about ten minutes to come out after the soup broth was brought out. Second round order was very consistent as the quality of marbled meats came out as identical as the first batch. The tri tip and Australia rib eye was very savory. All beef options were all excellent. Chuck roll is a little too chewy for my liking as opted out on second and third order. Green tea ice cream matcha is a good meal ender.

It might be hard to find but it's located in the raising claw at the corner of the plaza! We got the premium set which came with SO much meat. The quality of all the meats were very good and diverse. Our server Hayden was also very knowledgeable on all the cuts and attentive to our needs. He was switching out plates for us and bringing in new foods in the set menu as we ate. The restaurant set up is nice too, you don't have to worry about crammed tables as they have carts to put your extra plates on so you have plenty of room to eat. Overall the experience was fun and the food was really good, the price point is high but definitely worth it since you get a lot of meats and seafood as well. Personally I'd place this location better than mokkoji or Shabuya :).

We also tried razor clams which were flavorful and had a really easy chew to it. If I can't chew it under 1-2 minutes, I'm not going to continue. lol I can basically have their baked catfish all week. The dish is so comforting and light. Definitely a no-guilt type of meal.
