Food: Ume Bowl with Ochazuke Set Price: $26 + $4.5…read moreOverall: I came here with my boyfriend to celebrate our anniversary back in April! It is in the general area with Cere Tea and Koi Palace. We arrived around 6PM and were seated immediately. We came for the seafood don and both got the UME with an addition of the ochazuke set. For $26 + 4.5 for the set, I think it's really worth the price and you get a good amount of fresh fish. Each bite felt like I was transported to Japan and eating a Kaisendon. Although we had to wait for a bit for the dashi soup to arrive , it was a delicious end to our meal. So comforting and hearty.

I've been here for lunch and there's a decent amount of people, but not really a long wait. Service is quick and efficient and they're attentive to you. The space is a little small, tucked away in a corner and feels a little intimate! Overall, I'd recommend this place if you're looking for a quick easy meal!

Cajun Crack'n is one of my go-to seafood boil spots in the area. The seafood has never been…read moreovercooked on my visits, the food isn't overly salty, and their house sauce is great. I think it's one of the more consistent options around here! I'm a shrimp-head-on girlie, so the shrimp never misses. Spice tip: Medium has just a little kick, in my opinion, so go spicy if you want some real heat! The lunch deal is an incredible value -- 1 lb of shrimp, 1 half corn, 2 sausage pieces, and 2 potato halves. Super filling and satisfying without breaking the bank. Their happy hour deals are also generous, so definitely check those out. The restaurant is spacious, with tons of seating, a big bar, and EDM playing in the background. It's lively and seems great for larger groups, whether it's family on the weekend or coworkers grabbing lunch. I haven't sat at the bar yet, but it looks like a fun time! Service is quick, and the servers are easy to flag down. The place has also been clean every time I've visited, without the sticky tables and chairs you sometimes get at seafood boil spots. It can get busy, but I went on a Friday around 1 PM and was seated promptly. Pro tip: check or join the Yelp waitlist ahead of time. There's plenty of parking here.

If you are looking for the best raw oyster deal and the highest quality house oysters, this is it…read more They are incredibly fresh, meaty, and sweet! You can get Pacific oysters for $1 each and Kumamotos for $2 each all day on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Trust me, it even beats buying them at wholesalers like K&C Seafood since you still have to shuck them yourself--and shucking oysters is no fun my husband told me. Make sure to catch their Happy Hour between 3 PM and 6 PM, Monday-Friday, for great deals on tap beers. Personally, I'm obsessed with their Modelo Michelada--the perfect blend of chamoy and salt on the rim makes it so refreshing. They also have excellent draft options like Pacifico or a Blood Orange beer that my friend highly recommends for a refreshing happy hour drink. Plus, the service here is consistently fantastic; our servers are always friendly, quick, and attentive! Pro-tip: It can take a little while for the oysters to come out since they are shucked fresh, so I highly recommend ordering a quick appetizer and grabbing some happy hour drinks to enjoy while you wait!

We were planning to cook some oysters for Father's day and decided to pick some oysters for K&C. My…read morefriends would come here 10+ years ago to get their raw oyster fix. I was worried they would be close by the time I get there since they close at 5pm and it was 4:45pm when we got there. There is parking in the back that you can drive in and park. I told them I wanted 120 Pacific oysters and the worker brought it out right away. They were $120 but since I used my card to pay, they tacked on $5 to the price. I think you have to spend a certain amount to avoid the $5 credit card charge. They asked if I was ok with it and I told them it was fine and proceeded to pay. They have newspapers on the side that you can use to put in ur car so the water from the oysters doesn't get on the car carpet. The oysters were really good and tasted fresh. We ended up killing all 120 oysters last night. Highly recommend this place for oysters. I heard certain hours of the day, the place can be packed so be prepared just in case you can't park inside and have to find street parking.

This was my go-to seafood boil spot for the past five years. I'd always recommend this place to…read morefriends because it was consistently one of the better seafood boil spots in SJ. After today's visit, though... I finally understand why the second location closed. Ordered: Shackie's Sauce (Hot) Shrimp & Mussels Combo Snow Crab Clusters Garlic Noodles Garlic Fries The seafood boil was nowhere near the quality it used to be. The corn tasted old, the shrimp and snow crab didn't taste fresh, and the snow crab clusters had barely any meat. By the time I cracked everything open, it felt like there was more shell than seafood. The mussel shells even had barnacles on them, which I've never seen here before. It made the seafood feel like it hadn't been cleaned as well as it should have. The garlic fries were crispy, but that's it. It was weird--I could see the garlic and was literally eating it, yet there was no garlic flavor. The garlic noodles used to be one of my favorite items because they were bold and packed with garlic. Now they've definitely toned the flavor down, and they're just not the same anymore. It's honestly disappointing because this place used to be one of my favorite seafood spots. The food quality has clearly declined while the prices have continued to go up. I hope they can get back to what made this place so good, but based on today's experience, I can't recommend it anymore.
