I especially love that they offer items you don't find everywhere--clams, scallops on the shell, snails, razor clams, and so much more. The flavors are always so good and remind me of the seafood dishes I've had in Vietnam. If you love adventurous seafood with bold Asian flavors, this place is definitely worth trying!

10 Years of Marriage & a Great Family Dinner!…read more Last night, my wife Sokny and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary with our family, and we couldn't have asked for a better evening! We had dinner at Seafood House Quan Oc, and everyone definitely came hungry! Sokny and our daughter Skylie went with the seafood boil, and it was excellent! The seafood came with a delicious curry-style sauce that had so much flavor. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal! Our niece Maddie and youngest daughter Laila enjoyed the kids' chicken wings and fries, and Maddie also really liked the eggrolls. We shared an appetizer of crab cheese wontons, which were another hit. My mom had the garlic noodles, while I went with the fish fillet with rice and salad -- and it was all great! For drinks, Skylie had a Thai tea, while Sokny tried a Black Superman and a lemon drop. The lemon drop was unfortunately more lemonade than vodka, but hey... we still had a good laugh about it! Overall, the food was fantastic, but what made the night special was simply being together as a family. 10 years of marriage, lots of memories, and many more to come. Thank you to my beautiful wife for sharing this journey with me. I love you, Sokny!

We clearly ordered way too much much and had plenty to take home for dinner tomorrow. Everything was AMAZING! We're already planning our next trip out here. My daughter said 10/10!

We got the "special" buy one pound get the next pound free so we did shrimp. We got shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes, and dungeness crab with the special blend in one bag. The hook and reel special blend was honestly pretty gross it was sweet, Smokey and not very buttery or salty at all. We asked for lemon pepper and extra butter to put inside(which was an extra charge) it made it a little better but I've definitely had better elsewhere. The garlic noodles were really good they had a soy sauce flavor, garlicky and cheesy. The price was pretty expensive considering I've spent $30 less elsewhere. Here at hook & reel I spent $96 The service was good. She was very kind and helpful but also wasn't very attentive. The restaurant and the bathrooms were very clean. Overall I wouldn't come back and I recommend going to Captain crab in Elk Grove it is so much better tasting and cheaper!!

I'm not sure how long this restaurant has been open but it was our first time here. We decided to…read moreeat here because we saw on the reviews that they had ox tail soup and bun rieu ( crab noodle soup). It appears the restaurant mainly serves seafood. As there are a lot of seafood options. However there is hotpot options and other noodle and rice dishes as well. The restaurant has a small outdoor patio. Inside has spacious table seating, some with booth and good lighting inside. There was ballad vietnamese music video playing. The restaurant was not busy and there were elderly men at the tables playing cards and some at another table they were chatting & drinking. Im not sure if they hold karaoke or have live bands but there is a stage with music instruments and a projector with installed party lights. When we entered the restaurant we were greeted right away. It was a bummer when they told us they didn't make ox tail or bum rieu today. Instead we ordered beef tartare, beef pho and shaken beef with rice. The beef tartare was this sliced raw beef with onion, herbs and lime which made the dish rich and savory. The pho was mediocre and same goes for the shaken beef, but both dishes were still tasty enough. During our time there, the server did not check on us or refill our water. If I'm craving for seafood, maybe I'll come back to try their seafood options.

I've been to Karai twice! I wish I had written a review the first time, but never got around to it,…read moreso now here it is! I came here with a friend and wanted to come here partly because I remembered the fish being very fresh and presentation being nice. We came on a weekday evening and there was two other tables here. It is a smaller restaurant in terms of space, but clean and modern appearing. The server was very nice and they offered complimentary items including miso soup, salad, and a generous scoop of ube ice cream. We ordered two rolls (sea steak roll and happy lemon roll) and a large sashimi. Large sashimi - fish was very fresh, there was a variety, they were thick cut slices. Presentation was pretty. It had a dried bamboo slice with "karai" burnt into it and two little lucky cat figurines. It had the shredded radish or something as the bed, shisho leaves, and seaweed salad. Sea steak roll - I liked the chili oil on here. The chili oil had a depth to it that left a lasting spice on the tongue, more so than the average chili oil. Happy lemon roll - I chose this roll cuz I wanted the lemon taste. Some slices didn't have the lemon on there, but this roll was also heavy on the sauce which was sweet. I didn't really care for this roll as much. Miso soup - had chunks of enoki mushroom stems, otherwise a straightforward soup. Salad - Had baby spring mix but also heavy on the dressing which was a creamy kind (tasted like the happy lemon roll sauce). It was topped off with tortilla strips. Ube ice cream - scoop size was generous, and it came with some whipped cream. It tastes like it was from Gunthers! Ube taste was good. Ice cream was creamy, and not too icy. I really hope Karai sticks around because it wasn't so crowded the times I've now been here!

I've had Karai bookmarked for a while and although I didn't dine in, I still had a really good…read moreexperience with their sushi takeout! I ordered the citrus salmon roll and sacto roll. I love a lemon salmon roll, so I was happy to see the citrus salmon roll on the menu. I appreciate that the salmon was on the thicker side. I do wish there was a more citrus added versus just having some lemon shavings. The sacto roll is more on the unique side since I never had a roll that had chili crunch on it. It was a nice contrast while complimenting the fish. I liked how this roll had shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, salmon, and hamachi. Two rolls was plenty for me to feel full! I definitely will be ordering from here again and hope I get to dine in soon.

However, I can still speak to the food quality and overall ambiance. My favorite dish was the Peking duck--it's honestly one of the best Peking ducks I've ever had. The buns were steamed perfectly, and the duck meat was tender while the skin was crispy. The sauce really ties it all together. We also had fish maw soup, a clay pot dish with shrimp and vegetables, chicken and rice, bok choy, and several other dishes. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared, and I would happily reorder most of the items we tried. The ambiance was pretty much what you'd expect from a traditional Chinese-American banquet restaurant. It had the large round tables with lazy Susans to accommodate big groups, along with a stage off to the side for events like wedding receptions and other celebrations. This is a great spot for a large family gathering or celebration. The food was delicious, and the space was well-suited for hosting big groups.

It's a decently sized restaurant capable of accommodating at least 60 people. When we arrived, there was already a group of at least 20 people in the rear, and they were able to accommodate our group of 6 children and 6 adults. Although there was a bit of a wait for the food because they were short staffed, we had the happy hour menu to choose deals from and entertainment from the large group's karaoke to keep us busy in the meantime. When the food came out, I was surprised to find such tasty, and, large crawfish and shrimp on our table! The food was piping hot and the portions nice and big. I especially loved that the seafood came out in metal bowls instead of the plastic bags every other boil place serves their boils in. Extra points to them for being environmentally friendly! After a few bottles of soju, our group decided to partake in the free karaoke too, and we had a great time belting our hearts out. All in all, we loved the fair prices, delicious food, kid and family environment, and will definitely be back the next time we're in town. Thanks for the awesome night, Crab City!

Right when you walk in, everyone was friendly and welcoming. It was a busy Saturday evening, but we were seated pretty quickly. Our waitress was also so friendly, and our food came out FAST and piping hot! In our past experiences at other crab boil restaurants, it can take forever just to get a table, let alone get your food. So we really appreciated how quickly everything came out here! Now, THE FOOD! My hubby and I both got the Dungeness crab with the mild Cajun & garlic butter seasoning. It came with potatoes and corn, and we also added a side of rice and the Cajun fries. The seasoning was SO good! It had plenty of flavor without being overly salty. The crab was delicious and cooked perfectly. And those Cajun fries?! They were super crispy and seasoned to perfection! The only thing I would have changed was that we weren't given any crab crackers or tools to help us get into the crab. We actually thought they didn't have any at first. We later asked and were provided with some, but it would have been nice if they were offered or brought out with our gloves and bibs since we ordered crab. Other than that, I really enjoyed our experience! I especially loved that the restaurant has a more relaxed atmosphere compared to some other crab boil spots. The seats were comfortable, the music wasn't extremely loud, and it still had a fun vibe while being quiet enough for us to actually have a conversation. Overall, I'm giving Captain Crab a 10/10! We'll definitely be back!
