This review I assume is the OG on Garden Grove -- parking could be tough during the weekend. OC & La, is a Vietnamese seafood spot for sharing a bunch of dishes. I found out that "OC" means snails! I thought it was Orange County! Hahaha. We tried - razor clams, scallops (HUGE), the selection of salads are amazing so we got the spicy mango - House Special Mango Salad with squid & escargot -- is spicy , tangy, refreshing, and the refreshing taste! My favorite dish was the HUGE fried fish...color is amazing and the way the fish was presented seal the deal for me. Between two people, we devoured the entire fish !! It's the kind of place where you order "just a few things" and suddenly the entire table is covered in food. But, I'm not complaining since the team is very quick in getting the used plates off our tables. Also, both places offered FREE dessert. It's like a coconut based taro and other root sweet dish.

The most recent time, we came at 8:30pm on weekday and there were 29 parties ahead of us (LOL), soooo plan ahead and join the waitlist through yelp. We probably waited about 30 minutes. Here are a few things I can think of to recommend: --Deep fried smelt fish ( i love smelt ) --Stir fried glass noodles with escargot and crab ( make sure to dip in the maggi sauce they give ) --House special mango salad ( squid & escargot ) --Razor clams ( sometimes sold out :( ) --Deep fried Quail ( this is one of the best ) --Stir fried water spinach with garlic ( for bowel movement assistance ) --Grilled garlic butter oysters ( the cheese one overpowers the oyster ) --Scallops with fish eggs --Coconut Swirly Escargot with Basil Leaves ( this is not my fave, but people i go with, love it ) Service is good.

Interior is small, but that's to be expected from this small shopping strip. Server was very good! He was attentive and kind. Food came out a little slow, but he was apologetic and we didn't mind. The lemonade is sooooo good, and prices for everything is so reasonable! Got the platter of shrimp, clams, and mussels and it was enough for me, my husband, and one of my kids. Also got some rice, corn, and two kids wings, which was also very good and fresh. Everything was delicious. Shrimp was huge and fresh. We only got garlic butter because we didn't want it to be too spicy for our son, but would like to try the Daddy Sauce (garlic butter and Cajun). We will definitely be back! Our kids enjoyed the experience as well!!!

A friend and I went on a search for seafood locally. We found this place, Boil daddy and decided we…read moreshould go because of the seafood and the Cajun-style seasoning along with a seafood boil. The place has a basic setup of table and chairs and each table is covered with white butcher paper. I had blacked shrimp on skewers, boiled eggs, and fried instant noodles. The shrimp came with a buffalo dipping sauce. The place is in an unassuming small strip mall. The place is quiet, and family run. The place has a busy vibe to it. That is to say there are diners, pickup orders, and food delivery going on. It does take a bit longer to get the food. So, I was anticipating shrimp on skewers that were blackened and well seasoned. What they mean is deep fried and well seasoned. The dipping sauce was good and boiled eggs are boiled eggs. The shrimp had a nice crunch to them and were not soaked in oil. The fried instant noodles are surprisingly bland. I asked for more buffalo sauce to dress it a bit, but to no avail. This is a dish that needs a heat scale with the seasoning. The noodles are well prepared and the texture is perfect, but they were served luke warm and with only Tabasco sauce on the table. Also, my friended order the shrimp boil over rice and found the potatoes undercooked. This place is worth the money and with a few adjustments on seasoning, remembering that blackened shrimp or any food has a chard appearance to it and does not come to the table as fried food. When I'm back in Anaheim, I will return to Boil Daddy, it will try a different location, since this is a chain restaurant.

However, the service was quick and the ambiance was clean and casual. We ordered the #2 combo which was $72 (crawfish, shrimp, lobster, sausage, potato & corn) was included. The crawfish was live so they charged an additional $3 which brought the total to $75. The lobster tails were decent and cut in half. The restaurant was kind enough to bring a side of the torpedo sauce for us to dip. The seafood was fresh so no complaints!

Service was patient, describing the food, and making suggestions. They're busy so it can take a little effort to flag down someone. We ordered one of the preset meals and added an extra pound of crab claws for our party of 3. I'm not a huge fan of Cajun flavors but the Raisin' Cajun sauce that combines their Cajun, garlic butter and lemon pepper flavors is delicious! It's a tad expensive and worth it for a special occasion or treat.

They were also giving out complimentary Cajun or regular fries with our order, so that was a nice bonus. The Cajun fries were wonderful. They also offered ice cream at the end. We got naked shrimps with Raisin Cajun sauce. I like that you have the option to have peeled shrimps. The sauce was pretty addicting. It made me keep eating despite feeling pretty full. We also got some add-on items with the shrimps. Only weird thing I noticed is the boiled egg was added with the shell intact instead of being peeled. Kinda strange since it wouldn't absorb flavors that way.

We stopped by here on my birthday for a nice evening dinner. Got there a little before sunset. There's just something magical about eating outside during a sunset, especially at the Orange Plaza. The restaurant has such a cool look and vibe! We started off with the Hamachi crudo, salmon ceviche, and a bowl of clam "chowdah". The crudo was absolutely delicious, highly recommend. The salmon ceviche was really good but a bit heavy on the sauce for me. The clam chowder had whole clams in the shell throughout. That was fun to pick them out! For entrees we got the lean and mean plate with sea bass. It comes with salad and rice, we substituted the rice for black beans. We also got the skirt steak "bulgogi" which was served on top of mushrooms and bok choy with a sweet soy sauce. They accidentally brought out salmon instead of sea bass, but were very apologetic. They brought out a sea bass on the side and comped the entree to make up for it. Great service right there! The salmon and seabass were both delicious and cooked perfectly. The steak was tender and juicy, full of flavor. As a birthday gift they brought out a thai milk tea blondie sundae which was soooo good! Get it if you like sweets. I wish the owners all the best in their future endeavors, they created a great restaurant that many will miss.

We arrived at the restaurant and the cashier helped us right away. We got our order in a brown takeout bag and grabbed a few of their bibs & gloves. The bag definitely felt heavy. They double bagged our order so it would not spill whatsoever. They also gave us a bunch of sliced lemons and two containers of salt & pepper. Let me tell you, these shrimps were BIG. They were very meaty and super flavorful. I adored the seafood boil sauce that it comes in because it had SO much garlic and I really liked how tasty this was. The shrimp absorbed all the flavor, but it did not stop us from dipping it in more of the sauce to make it even more tasty! We even squeezed some of the lemon into the bag as well. It is such a messy meal, but so fun if you're a seafood lover. I think it's worth trying if you have never tried a seafood boil before. This was more of a Vietnamese-Cajun styled seafood boil, so I found it to be even more tastier!
