Inside, it's clean, modern, and thoughtfully laid out, with a really nice fish tank front and center as you walk in, housing two juvenile arowana along with several parrot fish. It immediately sets a calm, inviting tone. Service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Our server checked in at the right times, made sure drinks were refilled, and everything felt relaxed without being neglected. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen. The noodles had great texture and chew, and the portion of char siu was generous and well prepared. My only real gripe was the temperature. It came out warm enough to eat right away, but it cooled off faster than I prefer. If it had been served hotter, like I'm used to with ramen, it would have stayed hot much longer and been closer to perfect. We also tried a few appetizers. The pork buns were a letdown. The bun itself had potential, soft and pillowy, but the filling lacked both flavor and substance. At $3.50 each (two for $7), I expected more in either quantity or quality, preferably quantity. The shrimp dumplings were just okay, very similar to what I can buy at Costco and steam or fry at home, nothing bad, just not memorable. My wife ordered the seafood ramen and was happy with it, especially the amount of seafood included, which felt generous and well balanced. There were several entrees on the menu that sounded really appealing, but a couple of the ones I would have ordered were already sold out for the day, so I stuck with ramen this time. Overall, I'd absolutely come back. I'd happily get the ramen again and I'm especially interested in trying their entrees next time. I'd probably skip the appetizers, but the main dishes alone are enough to make this worth a return visit.

It already comes with a lot of potatoes and corn. We got garlic butter and Cajun seasoning. The sauce was very good and the seafood is very juicy. Casual place with nice seating. We really enjoyed this place.

Crab was overcooked which made the meat stick to the shells. Everything else was really salty.read more

Our order consisted of Coconut Shrimp, Low Country Boil, and Flounder Basket. For dessert we had Key lime pie with mango drizzle. The restaurant is well decorated, clean, and has options: dining room, Sun room, and patio. The atmosphere is welcoming. Service was prompt, attentive, and professional. We don't expect perfection; how problems are handled matter most. Our Coconut Shrimp had several pieces undercooked. The wait staff immediately acknowledged the issue and management produced a new fully cooked replacement served with a sincere apology. Since we ate half the order before seeing the issue, I attempted to waive off the offer for the staff removing the appetizer from our bill. They graciously insisted that it be on the house. Low country boil and the flounder basket did not disappoint! The boil was pleasantly spicy- not too much, but just enough zing to awaken the senses. The flavors were rich and buttery. The flounder was lightly breaded, flaky and light. Note the tartar sauce had a light, lemon flavor. The hush puppies were delicious and fresh. The mango pie had a delightful flavor, slightly acidic and not too sweet. The mango drizzle balanced the acidity well. Note the light, flavorful crust. We highly recommend this establishment and look forward to dining here again soon.

Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The seafood was outstanding, and the atmosphere was fun, energetic, and welcoming. You can tell this is a place that locals love. The highlight of our evening was our server, Justin. He was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and made excellent recommendations.

First and foremost: Lauren was absolutely phenomenal. She was a fantastic problem-solver and was…read morespot-on with her attention & service. The problem was that there were many matters that Lauren had to try to mitigate that brought our experience from a four star to a three star: My stuffed salmon was the last of ten meals served & it was so overcooked that the salmon resembled jerky. They offered to make another for me to take to-go, but that did nothing for me in the moment (I still had to navigate a burned meal & we all know that type of meal does not reheat well). Noodles & sauce that came with the dish were very good. The "succotash" was unremarkable. Two plates of King crab legs (an EXTREMELY expensive meal) came with no melted butter - my friends had to ask twice for butter - crab got cold before butter was ever served. Waitress (not Lauren) said full serving costs $120. For some reason, 1/2 serving consisted of two legs, full serving consisted of three legs? We were told a claw would be included as well with the full serving, but then "reassured" that a full serving was indeed received without the claw. Chicken teriyaki was good. Mussels with pasta was good. Apparently. it is "safe" to consume the living red worms that squiggle on the oysters on the half shell, but in all our years in other restaurants with oysters, we've never seen worms moving on our plates. Is that because other restaurants clean off the oysters in a different manner? Is it because other restaurants serve on ice? I honestly don't know, but do know I can't eat wriggling worms. I sincerely appreciate Lauren's attempt to alleviate our concerns. Apparently, there was/is a shortage of glasses, because refills of beer and alcohol came in different sized glasses with each round. One beer refill came in a small brandy-type glass with no explanation. Again, a solution was offered well after the fact, but honestly should not have been necessary. This is not a fault of the waitstaff. The potatoes & slaw that are served with each meal were brought before our drinks were ever served - are they intended to be treated like appetizers? (Just a note: Active Duty military & Federal employees have been advised not to consume poppy seeds - it's ridiculous - but half of our table couldn't eat the slaw (which was unfortunate because the slaw was very good - one of my favorite recipes). Fried dishes were over cooked - extremely dark & tough. Do not forgot to ask what "Market price" is - it may be well over $100 per serving. By the way: their Carolina Colada is now my favorite drink! Delicious!! Look at the back of the menu for the day's drink special.
