    This is my go-to seafood boil spot with my sister. We normally get the Combo 1 with house special sauce, which is perfect for 2 people. They aren't shy with the garlic and I love how strong the flavor is. Sometimes the food could be a bit too salty but I personally don't mind. The service is great, there are TV's everywhere with various sports or news shows, and I enjoy the music they have in the background. Overall, delicious food and a fun ambiance.

    Perfect food and service. Really nice place. Good food and waiting for food less that a 10 minutes

    House Chicken Wings

    Food here is soooo good! Beware of the spiciness level though. Their medium is what I consider extra spicy. Their cocktails are good too. I was impressed and would even consider them craft cocktails. The house chicken wings were so delicious. They have a little sweet and salty flavor with fish sauce. I ordered the crab legs, crawfish, and shrimp bag. Three of us shared it along with rice and garlic noodles. Yum!

    Restaurant has many good reviews and almost 5 stars so definitely needed to compare and contrast to the spots I've tried in LA! Quick service, we were seated right away and restaurant wasn't busy! Many options on the menu but you can also customize your food boil to make it how you like! Spice level of hot was perfect but also had a runny nose the whole time! Great flavors on everything we ordered including the shell crab and wings! Overall 10/10

    Love this place! Try out the lychee soda, it's soooo good. Food is always fresh! Katrina is a rockstar:)

    A great experience

    Very fast and smooth service! Katrina is a 10/10 very fast~paced and nice host! Would come back anytime and the food was very delicious!

    Food is Amazing and service is amazing as well! Best combo to have and to top it off food is always amazing

    Catfish Po Boy
    Generous Y.

    Tasty food, friendly service, but questionable strategy. Led to a below average experience. They alerted me that they were out of chicken wings 25 minutes after I ordered, so I had waited for no reason. While they offered a refund or substitute of items, the transparency and wait time was poor. Since I was dining out with friends I opted for a sub but this tackled on more time while there wasn't any item replaceable in terms of both taste and price. Catfish Po'Boy - opted for some catfish and it was nice soul food. Best part is that they provide two tartar sauces, one is a mustard tartar but tastes just as good as normal tartar. I'm used to needing more tartar, but there's excess tartar for your chips here. Fries were solid. Po'Boy was tasty and the bun was soft. Fries were standard.

    9oz? Maybe even 6oz. Cost me $6

    Food and service were good. I purchased the 5# $65 crawfish Mother Day promo to go. I inquired about purchasing extra sauce, they said it would be $6. Should have asked to see the container. I was very disappointed with what $6 got me... overpriced for just the sauce. Lesson learned.

    Loved this place. The broth in the boil was so tasty with just the right spice. As the sauce cooled, it became thicker and the flavors were still so amazing. Quick service and we loved everything.

    Can I reserve a table last minute tonight?

    Do you have other locations other than Kent?

    Hello! Yes we do. Our second location is in Puyallup.

    Do they have a Delivery option?

    Hello dear Sorry we don’t do delivery.

    Do you sell raw seafood by the pound? What is the market price on mussels, crawfish, shrimp, and crab by the pound, raw?

    Hello Anna I am sorry we don’t sell raw seafood, we only sell cooked seafood. The market price on Mussels $14.99/lb Crawfish $12.99/lb, shrimp $14.99 /lb .

    Are you guys closed during covid19?

    Hi Anna we are open for takeout!

    Do any of the delivery services run through these guys?

    Hi Anna sorry we don’t do deliver

    Does anyone know if they take reservations ? I tried calling and no one answers or I get forwarded to voicemail.

    No they don't.

    So if I get there at 9:30 or 9:45 do I still get to order? Since the close at 10

    We usually deal with the manager when we come by. They’re really good at keeping customers first. So yes! They will continue to serve you! It’s a business I’d hope they would.

Very strong. Super flavorful. Like that the menu offered a variety of options and market prices weren't bad per pound roughly about $15-18 per pound. Garlic fries and calamari was very delicious!

Food however left a little to be desired. The clam chowder was great and for the price point, was a good value. We ordered the chicken wings that came out longer than expected and tasted just ok. A couple of the wings weren't cooked all the way. We opted for the Dungeness crab combo with their signature sauce. The flavor was good but the crab definitely did not taste like it was fresh. For the price you pay ($87.00) I just expected more. This place has great reviews so willing to check it back out again and (hopefully) go have a better experience

I ordered a crawfish boil and my SIL ordered a shrimp boil. For $18.99 it was a reasonable price for out of season crawfish, but it was okay. My SIL thought her shrimp boil was decent. You can taste the spice throughout. Mild was suggested if you want some spice that doesnt overwhelm your dish. Mild was as accurate as they said. The waitress gave us a small fries tray that has the bib, gloves, and sanitizing wipe, which we used to separate our pieces that we already went through. Maybe have a bigger tray for people to use. When the waitress gave us our bag, she emptied it for us onto our serving bowl without wearing gloves. Her hands didnt touch the food though. Since we couldnt finish, they do offer another bag for us to take home. We do not have to use the same bag it came in. Overall, it was okay. I might try something else on the menu that is in season to see if its better.

We stopped by during their happy hour, which runs Monday through Friday from 11 AM to 4 PM, and enjoyed the discounted seafood and drink specials. Our server, Sarah, was friendly, attentive, and very helpful. She explained the different crawfish and seafood boil options and made recommendations based on what we were looking for. We followed her suggestion and chose one of the combo options, and it turned out to be a great choice. The seafood boil was flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. Sarah did an excellent job making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. I also appreciated that although the rice is served in a paper bowl, the restaurant provides ceramic plates and metal utensils, which makes the dining experience feel more comfortable and enjoyable. A couple of small things could be improved. Unlike some other seafood restaurants, there are no complimentary soft drinks when your bill reaches a certain amount, even if you are dining as a group. Since many places offer a couple of free drinks for larger orders, that would be a nice addition. Overall, though, the quality of the food, friendly service, and great recommendations from Sarah made our visit a very positive experience. We'll definitely be coming back.

I recently had the catfish poboy. It was just okay. It looked better than it tasted. I can't put my finger on why it wasn't that great, but it was just very "meh". The fries were really good though. Services is okay. They always seem to struggle with service, regardless of how busy the place is. But they are nice. Ambience is what you'd expect at a place like this. Nothing spectacular, but not dirty. I would love if they had a better ventilation system. The friend smells and spices are extremely strong! Overall, a solid restaurant, but if you're looking for a place with high quality seafood, may want to find another spot.
