    Delicious seafood , especially the fresh shrimp and crab . Everything tastes amazing. A whole bag of seafood boil paired with corn and sausage goes perfectly together. The garlic noodles are also very tasty, though the garlic flavor is a bit too strong. Haha! Besides the fries and onion rings, I highly recommend their fried calamari. It has a great texture and isn't tough at all. Highly recommended, but try to avoid coming during peak hours because there will be a bit of a wait. 好吃的海鮮,尤其是新鮮的蝦子和螃蟹,味道好吃,一整袋子的手抓海鮮搭配玉米和香腸非常的對味,香蒜拌麵也非常的好吃,不過蒜頭味太重了。哈!另外除了薯條和洋蔥圈以外,我最推崇的是他們家的炸魷魚,非常有口感也不會硬。強烈推薦給各位,但是儘量別在飯點來,排隊會需要一點時間。

    The seafood boil here is good but nothing stand out. Quality sauce and freshness of the seafood are all you need to have a good boil and the House Special sauce was slightly below average but the freshness of the seafood was fine. After all the glowing reviews I've heard about this place I did expect more, but overall I enjoyed my meal here. Pros - Good service and food came out quickly - Plenty of easy parking - Large restaurant, came on a Sunday afternoon and there was plenty of seats - Their happy hour deals look like a great deal Cons - I've had many different house special sauces in the area and this one lands slightly below middle of the pack. It was very one note and is pretty much what you would expect.

    Cajun seafood, messy hands, and why spicy is the right choice If you're looking for Cajun seafood boil in Milpitas or the South Bay, this place delivers the kind of experience people expect: big room, lively energy, seafood bags on the table, and absolutely no attempt at elegance. Which is exactly how a seafood boil should be. The dining room is large and open, with rope-wrapped columns, nautical décor, and big circular lights overhead. It works well for groups, but if you're by yourself it's easy to grab a seat at the bar and settle in with a seafood bag. Beer helps. The seafood boil The main attraction here is the Cajun seafood boil bag. Shrimp, crab legs, crawfish, sausage - all tossed in garlic butter and Cajun seasoning. When the bag opens, the smell hits first: garlic, spice, warm seafood sweetness, and butter coating everything. This isn't delicate food. You peel shrimp. Crack crab shells. Sauce gets everywhere. That's the whole point. Seafood boils are meant to be messy. Spice level: go hot For the sauce, I always choose spicy - the hotter the better. Cajun seasoning really comes alive with heat. When the spice level goes up, the shrimp tastes sweeter, the crab richer, and the garlic butter carries more depth. It isn't just heat for the sake of heat. The spice actually amplifies the seafood flavor. If you like Cajun food the way it's supposed to taste, don't be shy about ordering it spicy. Fried catfish: clean, soft, and no muddy flavor The fried catfish here is worth ordering. Catfish can easily pick up that muddy, fishy taste if it's not handled properly. A lot of places struggle with that. This one doesn't. The fish comes out golden and crisp outside, soft and tender inside, with clean flavor and no off smell. The inside stays moist and delicate, almost buttery. Just good fried fish. Shrimp po'boy The shrimp po'boy sandwich is another solid choice. Large shrimp, fried properly so the outside stays crisp while the inside remains juicy and tender. No rubbery texture. The bread is soft with a light toast, holding together shrimp, lettuce, and tomato in the classic Louisiana combination. You get three textures in every bite: crispy shrimp soft bread fresh vegetables Simple and satisfying. The vibe This place isn't trying to be refined seafood dining. It's about energy. Friends sharing a seafood bag. Beer on the table. Garlic butter on your hands. Paper towels disappearing quickly. That's exactly the environment Cajun seafood belongs in. Dr. C note A proper seafood boil should leave evidence. Shells on the table. Seasoning on your fingers. And a cold beer nearby to handle the spice. If that happens, the system is working.

    This place is pretty good, I love that they offer the shrimp deveined and head off as it saves some work for me. I always make sure to get extra sauce on the side as I like to dunk my shrimp in it. Medium spice is enjoyable but not spicy enough in my preference for it to be medium. Food is always yummy, hot, and comes out pretty quick even when it's busy. The entire staff is great and friendly. It's usually pretty quiet, which I enjoy. If you visit on a weekend after 5 be ready for a lengthy wait! Only complaint is the bathrooms as they could use some love. There's a foul smell in the hallway leading to the restroom but not the restroom itself..?. It's usually unkept, the soap dispenser is broken, toilet paper was stacked on top of one another, and no paper towels... avoid it if you can.

    The food was surprisingly so good here. The shrimp was big in size, not overcooked, and the sauce was really flavorful but also the perfect medium spice. My friend who is the spice queen said their tongue on fire spice level was actually the spiciest she's had! The garlic noodles were also sooooo garlicky and buttery and packed with flavor we ended up ordering double on those. The fries were good but lacked some Cajun flavor and felt it was a bit too crispy for me. Overall the place really hit the spot. It's a big place and can fit a lot of parties, we were able to put our party down on the waitlist beforehand. One complaint is that the bathrooms are dirty and poorly maintained, they didn't have toilet paper in the holders and lacked any paper towels after washing your hands. Also wish they had more sink stations.

    Combo 3 with four pounds of seafood.

    We took a drive out to Milpitas to give this Cajun spot a try. Inside was cavernous with lots of seating along with a Pirates of the Caribbean (aka Captain Jack Sparrow statues) and nautical theme. There was a couple staff at the front and one gave a quick overview since we were ordering to go. Menu featured a variety of options including raw oyster, appetizers, fried foods, po'or boys and sliders, and combo boils. It took a bit over 20 minutes to deliver our order and they threw in some useful plastic gloves, bibs along with forks, paper trays and some sauces. We went with the large combo (posted on the entrance but not in the menu) that came with four pounds of seafood (whole shrimp, mussels and crawfish), corn, potatoes and sausages. Headless and deveined shrimp were extra charge if one so opted. The house special sauce had good flavors and the seafood large, meaty and not overcooked. The fried choices we ordered were a mixed bag. The calamari was disappointing with a very dry, bread like coating and a limpy consistency. Not the texture we expected. The sweet potato fries were cold by the time we got home so not the best. The onion rings was the only fried dish that stayed crisp and crunchy. The last side was the garlic noodle and it was balanced with lots of chopped garlic and not oily like we've had as other similar restaurants. Definitely . Overall double bagging of the boil kept things warm and without leaks. The paper packaging was flimsy and didn't do such a great job keeping the contents warm and needs improvement. The boil, noodles and onion rings pulled the rating up to a 4 star.

    Love this place! Probably one of the best seafood boils around the SJ area, and their happy hour deals are amazing ($1.50 oysters!) We were seated right away on a Friday night, and our server was very helpful. I really enjoyed their "everything" sauce, and the mild spice level was perfect for me. The menu also offers a nice variety of options if you're not in the mood for a seafood boil. The only thing I'd comment on is that our oysters came out halfway through finishing our meal, even though they were supposed to be an appetizer. That said, I didn't mind too much since it was such a great deal.

    Hands down this is my favorite place to have seafood boil, get my hands and face dirty. Sip on that dirty margarita with tajin on my rim. Lmao... it ain't dirty, it's so good. Service is always great. Not one person there ever fails to deliver every time my family and I show up. Had my birthday here last year and just celebrated our son's last weekend. Wish my mother was here, she loved seafood boil so much

    Garlic noodles

    I love a good seafood boil and almost always order crab when a place offers it. I've been to most seafood boil spots around the Bay, but this one had been on my list for a while. We finally came here on a Saturday to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday. We ordered a whole Dungeness crab, snow crab leg clusters in the house special sauce, fried soft-shell crab, fried shrimp, Cajun fried rice w/shrimp, and garlic noodles. Overall, the food was pretty good, but definitely not the best I've had. The house special sauce on the crab was decent, but nothing mind-blowing. The fried soft-shell crab and fried shrimp were both good and probably the highlights of the meal. The Cajun fried rice w/shrimp was just okay. It included sausage, which wasn't mentioned on the menu. That was a bit odd, especially for people who don't eat pork. The garlic noodles were also just okay flavor-wise, but the biggest letdown was the noodles themselves. They tasted more like spaghetti rather than egg noodles, which didn't really work for me. Compared to other spots, Claw Shack in San Jose and Lemon Crab in Hayward are still my favorites. While the food here wasn't bad, it didn't stand out enough for me to go out of my way to come back.

    Not bad but not great. I wish the food in the boil was actually steeped in the sauce. You can definitely tell that they cook the food separately from the sauce so none of the corn, potatoes, seafood actually has the flavor infused. To be fair I come from TX so I have pretty high standards for cajun boils Special 2 - (6/10) house sauce is pretty good but again none of the food is actually infused/boiled in the sauce. Also wish they had crawfish option :( Lobster roll - (6/10) lobster was very dry and bland. It definitely needed more butter and flavor. The fries were delicious tho Great drink selection. Music and service is great too - we had an amazing waitress

    Kimberly L.

    Came here for my birthday with a group of friends and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was good, and the beer selection was solid -- and surprisingly cheap. We happened to come during a football game, and they told us that when a game is on, the beer prices are super cheap, plus they also have great happy hour deals. Definitely a win. We ordered the signature combo and got the crawfish, mussels, and shrimp. Everything was good with a decent sauce. While I might slightly prefer Kickin' Crab's sauce, the cheap beer here makes this place a better bang for your buck overall. The garlic noodles were ok, though a little different from what we're used to, but still enjoyable. Sweet potato fries were a standout -- crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The decor is nice, and the servers were great and very attentive. Overall, a fun spot with decent food, great service, and unbeatable beer prices. We'll definitely be back, especially for the beer!

There is a nice seafood display similar to open fish markets on the wharf selling crab and assorted fish. The service is excellent. Our server was attentive and helpful. The restaurant manager stopped by to see how everything was. Build your own (petit filet and 5 oz lobster) - 4/5 You have a selection of choices of what to select on the "Build your own" selection. The base price starts off at $29.95, then you select your food options. There's an uncharged on the most popular selections like lobster and steaks. My lobster was cooked to perfection. Very tender and sweet. The filet was pretty small for the up-charge, and was slight over cooked from the medium rare I ordered. But was still tender and good. The grilled asparagus was a $4 up-charge and you only get 3 spears of asparagus. With the up-charged, my dish, the price was over $46. Lobster Roll - 5/5 The Lobster Roll was very delicious. You get some Lobster tail, but Lobster claw meat is more prominent (see pic). Still the spices along with the clarified butter made this roll very tasty and delicious. Overall, we enjoyed our visit to Market Broiler.

The appetizers were amazing and the overall quality of the dishes were chef's kiss! I am giving a 4/5 since they price is expensive, would be worth it if it was an AYCE KBBQ place.

    This spot has a lot going for it: spacious interior, clean environment, and even KBBQ options but…read moreoverall, my experiences have been a bit mixed. The banchan variety is actually really good, which is a highlight for me, though the kimchi isn't my favorite. My personal go-tos are the Korean jelly (muk muchim), broccoli, tomato, and macaroni salad. I'd honestly come back just for the banchan spread. That said, for the price, the main dishes are just okay. One big plus: they serve purple rice, which I always appreciate. Service has been very hit or miss. Sometimes they're friendly and accommodating, but my last visit really threw me off. We asked for a refill on the muk muchim, and our server said they were "sold out"... but then the table next to us was immediately served it. I'd honestly rather they just say no than give an excuse like that.. it left a bad impression and made the experience feel off. A few thoughts on the dishes: * Budae Jjigae - A bit bland for my taste, heavy on kimchi and light on meats like spam, sausage, and bacon. * Galbitang - Light yet flavorful, with 3 large rib bones that had a good amount of meat. Comes with glass noodles, rice cakes, and thin egg strips * Japchae - Not complimentary here (you have to order it), but it's actually pretty good. * Seafood tofu soup - Just okay, nothing too memorable. * Galbi - Flavorful and reliable--can't go wrong, especially with purple rice. * Mul Naengmyeon - Refreshing and well done. * Seafood pancake - Crispy, not overly oily, and packed with seafood and green onions. * Bibimbap - Loved the crispy rice at the bottom, though the beef portion was a bit small. * Yukgaejang - Decent, but not as rich or flavorful as other spots. Overall, I'd say this place shines most in its banchan variety and comfortable dining space, but the inconsistency in both food and service makes it a bit harder to fully recommend

After trying the food, I definitely think they deserve more business. They offer raw marinated crab as part of their banchan, which is something I haven't seen before. Everything I tried was above average I would say. Seolleongtang was very rich, and the beef jeon had a good texture. My friend got a spicy beef tofu soup and it tasted very filling and perfect for a hangover. Nice auntie working front of house, prices are on par with other places. I believe it is a family run restaurant. Overall, seems like a place where you can order anything and you wouldn't go wrong. I look forward to coming back again.

Only complaint... besides the japchae, every banchan is "spicy." I wish they had fish cakes, potatoes or something sweet as a different flavor profile. Or don't add that spice to the bean sprouts to keep it mellow and refreshing. Bulgogi was soooo juicy, flavorful, and not dry at all. Seems as if they put a whole onion on the bottom lol. Soft tofu soup is a must order. Hit all the craves! Tofu ratio is totally worth the price of $18.95 Loved how they provided personal metal bowls with 1 cup of rice per person (I was watching the server pour it into each bowl haha). Only one female wait staff during my time here. Attentive and ease of banchan refill (I didn't try to refill the crab but I am guessing they unlikely would do so due to cost which makes sense). Very high end, elegant casual vibes. Tons of younger population dining in. Would I come back? Yes!
