They have Hispanic music playing in the background, everything is clean, and the food comes out pretty quickly. We came with a group of 5 and only waited about 10 minutes, which was impressive. The food presentation is nice too, you can tell they put effort into it. I'll definitely keep coming back, especially for the shrimp ceviche. It's my favorite!

05/24/26 Sunday…read more Stars: 4.5/5 Our friends booked this venue for their wedding reception. Sea Queen has a restaurant side and a banquet hall side. We had the banquet hall side and it was able to accommodate 200 guests. They had the place set up early and allowed the wedding party to come in advance to drop off drinks, decor, etc. They allowed us to bring food and alcohol. They also prepaid for drinks from the bar so folks could order from a bartender. Only a few dishes were ordered (since there was other food from an outside catering vendor) and I only got to try it after it was cold so I can't give a wholistic review on the food they serve, but I really liked the leaf wrapped beef with Banh Hoi (vermicelli sheet) and the mango salad! My one complaint is the women's bathroom. Two (out of 3) of the stalls can't lock so the girls had to help each other hold the doors closed. However, it was mostly clean and had toilet paper in stock. +They offer takeout containers for leftovers from the party. +Very kind and accommodating staff. They cleared some tables to create more space on the dance floor. +Parking is plentiful.

FANTASTIC PLACE FOR FOOD AND A PARTY!…read more I had the privilege of being invited to a party with some friends who had booked their event with Sea Queen Restaurant and I cannot deny that I was only impressed with the food, decor, staff, and the entire experience. If you are interested in booking your own event here, I recommend it. If you have no events coming up and just want some amazing food, still come here for that too! Amazing dishes are cooked and served here. It is mostly Vietnamese cuisine that you would find here, but hey... who doesn't enjoy this kind of cuisine? There is so much this restaurant has to offer. Not to mention there are weekly events; even a karaoke night. Lastly, if you enjoy sea snails, escargot, and don't want to drive out of the IE to the OC for some... just come here!

We'd been wanting to go for months and when we did, we were surprised by how few patrons there…read morewere. By the time we got our food, we understood why. The sharpie graffiti all over the walls seemed cute at first but all of that visual clutter conditioned me into thinking that the place was dirty. No offense meant to management but my son started smelling phantom smells usually associated with graffiti'd areas in DTLA. You can't underestimate the power of suggestion. Prices are comparable to Kicking Crab and Boiling Crab with a few differences. This place doesn't offer crawfish. Neither do they offer noodles as an alternative to rice. Nor do they offer broccoli or any type of vegetable. Service is friendly but with only two servers, there is a noticeable wait. But their wonderful can-do attitude offset it. When we got our crab and lobster, it was unfortunately dry. Not sure how long they cook the seafood for, but in my experience, if you let the crab or lobster steam or boil too long, the flesh tends to stick to the shells. It wasn't easy to get the meat out. We had to scrape the meat off the exoskeletons. The lobster tail was halved prior to cooking, so this step may have contributed to the dry meat. Typically you should only split it once it's been cooked. The sauce barely adhered to the seafood, so you have to dip the seafood into the crab boil sauce to get some flavor on it. The hush puppies for happy hour are a deal at $6 but there was practically no potato in it. You get breaded, fried flour. Wasn't very happy with this. The calamari was great - minimally breaded, seasoned well, and the flesh was juicy. Loved the marinara sauce that came with it. It's also on the happy hour menu, and for $6, it was a good portion. Hopefully management can make the necessary corrections to improve the customer's experience. The fixes shouldn't be problematic because they're simple enough. Adjusting the cooking time should do a lot to improve the juiciness of the seafood, and I'm certain patrons will notice the effort.

For years, we've never had any major issues with Kickin' Crab. And on the rare occasion something…read morewasn't right, they always made it right for us. Our usual order is 1lb of shrimp and 1lb of mussels, and we've always been happy with it. This time, we decided to try the Combo #2 because we wanted to add crab legs. We ordered three combo bags, each with shrimp, mussels, and crab legs. Unfortunately, it didn't feel like there was anywhere close to 1lb each of shrimp and mussels in the bags. I can't prove it, so I can only share our experience, but it honestly felt like there were fewer than 15 shrimp in the bag. For the first time ever, we finished our meal and were still hungry afterward. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend ordering the combo bag. Not only did it seem like there was significantly less food, but with all the ingredients piled together, some items ended up overcooked. We were really disappointed because we've had consistently good experiences with multiple locations here over the years. Hopefully this was just an off day, but we'll be sticking with ordering the seafood separately next time.

Been living down the street for 10 years + finally craved a seafood boil and hit this place up…read more Super friendly host took our order to go and called us when it was time to pick up. Next time I'll have to eat inside. Looks like a nice cozy spot. Got the family bag with mussels, clam and shrimp. Good. We got the full house sauce. It's a little bit of everything. Not sure if it was a Mistake or not but I got MEDIUM SPICE LEVEL from someone who likes spicy food. To me personally it was spicy. Savory and delicious but to me the medium heat level tasted spicy to our family. Not a knock or ding whatsoever. Just something to keep in mind. We got fried calamari and breaded catfish. Beautifully fried. Not greasy or oily. The Cajun fries are good too. Get some rice! Mix the sawce and clams and mussels. With some lemon soo good. Will come again. Awesome

The $15/person mandatory charge for the loud live music is ridiculous. At first, we were thinking…read morethey just play nice and classy music. Instead, they would blast the mixed music so loud that you practically had to yell out loud for a causal conversation with a person that sat next to you. The place is dark and makes it difficult to see the small fonts on the menu clearly. Thus, one of us ordered the lemonade and the waiter asked if he wanted the strawberry one. Not knowing they would charge a different price and extra for refill. This would be fine if the waiter at least informed him since this's our first visit. Honestly, the foods and services were OK but they are overpriced. We wanted to support this minority own restaurant but, at this restaurant, it's not worth it.

I ordered the Lunch Meal. I had the Catfish Filet (Fried) and for the side, I had the Red Beans & Rice. The service was quick. The Catfish Filet was so good. Had a slight crunch to it and the flavor was so delicious. The Red Beans & Rice was ok, not too bad. It was a little light on flavor. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the food here. It was a fun day.

My friend and I were charged $1 extra on some items and when questioned the young lady says they have a new price but was not able to make the changes on the menu on the counter, the updated price is on the menu board above. When we did look up the menu board price did not reflect the changes. we looked baffled, I mean it is $1 difference it's not going to break us . It's more of the attitude when asked .. ( I get it , it was chaotic and busy ) Grilled Fillet of Sole , 2 sides of collard greens and red beans and rice , fish cooked perfectly and seasoned well, collards greens were tender but not overly mushy . Rice and beans were ok, Not my favorite.

It looked like they have a lot of online orders though. I looked at the menu and noticed they have a lot of seafood options. I decided to try the lobster roll garlic butter sauce. I was told it was $36 for market price but I was actually charged $37. I also got a soda and asked for ice and it came in the tiniest cup of ice with no lid. It didn't really work for me so I ended up not using that cup. The employee in the front was nice though. Once I got home I tried it and it was okay. It's not the best lobster roll I've had. The fries were fine but the lobster was a bit dry. Melted butter on the side would have made it better, but I forgot to ask for that. Since they do have a lot of seafood options I wouldn't mind coming back to give them another try.
