Huge shoutout to the chef and especially Bas Chatchawan for maintaining such a high standard. It really shows in every order What impressed me even more--tonight I ordered delivery all the way to Uptown Manhattan (over 30 minutes away ), and the food still arrived tasting just as fresh and delicious as dining in. That's not easy to pull off, but they nailed it. That said, if you can dine in, I highly recommend it--especially the Combo 5 lbs seafood platter for $130 . It's perfect for sharing and gives you the full experience of what they do best. From flavor to consistency to service, Aqua Boil and their team truly stand out in NYC's food scene. Give them a try--you won't regret it! #AquaBoil #NYCFoodie #CajunSeafood #HellskitchenEats #FoodDeliveryDoneRight

Overall rating: 4.4…read more I've been wanting to try Seafood boil for awhile and heard this place was really popular for it. My friend and I shared the Snow Crab Leg and Shrimp with Cajun Mix and corn and potatoes. The service was very responsive and available for any questions. The decor of the restaurant was very pretty as well. The only thing is I live in Brooklyn & I'm not sure if it was worth the trip for me. I definitely recommend to those that live in the area.

We ordered a kalbi burger with gumbo and a kimchi jambalaya. The flavor was just amazing. I had the burger and the combo of burger and the sauces and flavors it has combined with the gumbo was just perfection! The patty was perfectly cooked. A medium cook on the meat was so juicy and very well seasoned. The gumbo was just perfection. My husband had the kimchi jambalaya and I will say, for someone that doesn't like kimchi this was so well made. Not too over powering ... I liked it when I tried it. My husband loved it!

good deal (118 for a dinner for two, which comes with 2 sides, 1 starter, 2 mains and dessert) but…read moreI think the food is just not my cup of tea to start, the ambiance is very cozy - the restaurant itself is really small and the service is super attentive and welcoming for the food - I actually really enjoyed the sides - they offered the okra kimchi complimentary which I surprisingly loved, and the green tomato and watermelon were also super refreshing for the starter, we opted japchae ball - it was solid but honestly did not tasted super special. sort of just an arancini stuffed with meat, I barely tasted the glass noodles for the mains, we got the jjangmyeon and the fried chicken. the noodle texture was not like your typical jjangmyeon and the fishy seafood flavor was a bit too strong for my personal liking. and the fried chicken was a bit too heavy and coated, but I am personally just not a fan of southern style fried chicken the dessert was pretty amazing though. the pecan pie was light and crunchy and the sweet potato mousse was so unique and not sweet at all this spot is great if you love southern style food but it's personally just not for me!

I highly recommend coming with a large group so you can try a bit of everything. They also offer an option to pay an extra $45 to take your leftovers home, which is absolutely worth it. I ended up with so much food that my fridge is still full. The service was impeccable from start to finish. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place to others.

The lobster is a little chewy, but the spicy claws were very flavorful. All of the crab had so much meat and the seasonings were all amazing. Surprisingly, the iron steak was one of our favorites despite this being a seafood spot. The waiter did say to just check mark the paper instead of quantities, but they end up bringing you 2 of everything you order. The sweet & spicy fish is also very solid, garlic noodles were buttery, and even their iced tea was super refreshing. Could not recommend this place more!! Bonus: they play a great 2000s throwback playlist that got us singing along and dancing while we were peeling all our seafood to pass the time. Shoutout to whichever employee put that playlist together!

What a roller coaster tonight was. Let me start from the beginning…read more... I had called two weeks ago to make a reservation for my boyfriend's birthday for a party of 10. They confirmed it and said not to be 15 min late or they would be forced to cancel our reservation. I even called again to double confirm and we were all set. So we showed up early tonight and stood in the entry way for over 10 minutes before someone finally acknowledged us. (One employee stood in front of us that whole time with her back turned to us without a single acknowledgment). The restaurant was PACKED. No sign in sight that they had even attempted to reserve a table for us. So finally we grabbed a server and let them know we had a reservation for 10 at 7pm and they ran to the back. Finally what I believe to be the manager came up to us with a clipboard to help us. He claims the reservation was never made (I showed him the call log on my phone) and he apologized and asked me to write our name and number down. He said he would do his very best to get us in as soon as he could. So, we went next door for a drink while we waited. He called me about 30 minutes later to keep me in the loop (which I really appreciated) and to let us know that they were waiting on one party to finish eating and pay. I said not problem, thank you for keeping me in the loop. He had offered for half of us to go over and start, but I requested that we all get to have the experience at the same time and to let us know when our full table was ready. He called 10 minutes later to give me a 5 min warning and we all headed over. Once we got there, the service was INCREDIBLE. Great servers, quick service, split our checks without us asking, etc. the food quality was good and we were having a great time. THEN, the servers dropped the checks and we were still waiting for our payments to be made when the manager came over and urgently said "we need you to leave now". Uhh...what? After how patient we have been you are asking us to leave when our credit cards are not even with us (still with the servers)? I explained we were waiting for our payments to be processed and our party to use the restroom then we were leaving. But that alone was frustrating after how patient we had been with the whole situation. We also had barely been there for an hour after all was said and done. BUT THEN, while our party was still using the restroom, a family sat down at our open chairs and proceeded to just GLARE at us. They then started falsely accusing us of being rude, taking too much time to eat and saying we were verbally harassing their family members. (NOT true at all. We didn't even know they were there). They were truly about to start a fight with us. After we had been so patient and understanding, I was incredibly frustrated that the staff did not step in to help us on this matter until I turned around and had to ask someone to come over because this other family was heavily escalating the situation. The manager then stood there so we could all leave but that family continued to verbally harass our group as we left. I WOULD NEVER. SIT AT A STRANGERS TABLE AND STARE AT THEM UNTIL THEY FELT UNCOMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO LEAVE. THEN ACCUSE THEM OF HARASSMENT AND MORE. If this were my restaurant, those people would not have been allowed to stay. This was NOT a cheap meal. In fact, one of the most expensive seafood boils we've been to in the city. We were so patient tonight and for all of that, after the night turned around to not feel the staff went above and beyond for us, and to rush us out to accommodate bullies? No thank you. Very disappointed on how the night ended and we will need to take our business elsewhere for future birthdays and seafood boils.

If you walk close enough to it, you can smell the loveliness of fried or grilled fish, and if you peek inside there's usually one woman at the helm, cooking and frying and grilling fish like she loves it, but a 7 day rest she'd love even more. I smile at her with my eyes and I'm very patient with whatever speed she makes my food. The food prices are reasonable, and whatever you think you're gonna get for the money you've paid is nowhere near the amount of food you get. No matter how many times I've ordered from them, I still am hella surprised when its presented to me. Fried with just the right amount of crunch, no extra oil, the fish mounted on top of a mountain of seasoned fries, which are also great tasting and all the items fried have their individual taste, (cuz Ugh I hate it when everything in one meal that's fried tastes like the oil its fried in). Last time I went, I ordered flounder, & she said she didn't have any, but had basa. When I asked for scallops, she said they were frozen & gave a lil Mama Frown, so I got calamari instead. WONDERFUL. (see photos) Now... I dunno what the real name of this spot is, but the receipt says "The Height Fish Market" Meh, doesn't matter, I know it as the only spot for great seafood. Go git it.
