    How they don't have ketchup or ranch ?
    Noel M.

    Bro sorry for the bad review but you need to fix your staff. You had a great thing going. I'm usually 20% minimum tipper. Anytime I needed something two of the girls would make eye contact and go to the back. One girl was on lunch so I wouldn't have bothered her. Whoever was cooking that day wasn't remotely trying. Couldn't get a glass of water or anything. Lava chicken was bland. Also I ordered garlic noodles , and asked if I could just do the garlic shrimp plate with garlic noodles , they charged me for a full garlic noodles and shrimp separate.

    1.5 lb crawfish - they conformed it wax "fresh" but you can taste the freezer burn on them
    Edie N.

    Probably one of the worst seafood and dining experiences I've ever had honestly and I reallllly had high hopes for this place. First off, we called ahead to make sure they had fresh crawfish over the phone they said it was in season and fresh. When we got there we confirmed with the waitress again and she said it was fresh but it was not only frozen but borderline inedible and I'm shocked they served something that was essentially rotting from the inside out. The inside was BLACK and soggy!! Chinese all you can eat buffets have better quality than this. It was actually so bad I couldn't even continue eating it. The price was atrocious for that as well ($25 for 1lb, $22 for half). Service was just as bad. The two waitresses seemed like they hated being there and took forever to get us menus, took even longer to take our order and she just sat behind the counter and ate instead of bringing us water or utensils. They never once came back to check in on us after dropping the food off. The catfish was BLAND despite it looking seasoned which was shocking and the short ribs looked and tasted boiled as you can see in the photo. Just overall horrible quality. I'm actually sad about this spot! Just moved to the east bay from sf and it looked promising. Just was an unfortunate disappointment.

    I was sat at a table in the middle of the restaurant. Around noon on a weekday. Another waitress came out and asked me to move to another table by the window, bc the High schoolers would be coming in for lunch. In retrospect, it was not a big deal. But at the time, it was off putting. You don't seat someone then ask them to move for someone else! A bit afterwards, the high schoolers showed up in droves. They were not disruptive. But I was able to see why she moved me. At this time (late morning) there was a family sitting next to me. They ended up leaving bc the restaurant had no dungeons crab! They were rather upset. Understandably. I ordered Lady Dubs Special (cajun) with the flat bread, added sausage and a side of garlic noodles. This was more than enough to feed 1 person. And the sauce is flavorful. Nice and thick, just the way I like it. 10/10!! I've had several seafood boils and this one is the best so far!! It also affordable.

    Hang Ten is easily one of my top three Asian style crab boil spots. My other two favorites are Lemon Pepper in Hayward and Claw Shack in San Jose, but Hang Ten definitely holds its own. My go-to order here is the Dungeness crab with the Steph Curry sauce. It has this Thai yellow curry flavor that's super unique and really tasty. I usually go for spicy, which has a nice kick, but this time I tried extra spicy and it was still manageable in a good way. One thing I really like about Hang Ten is that their sauces are thick enough to actually cling to the seafood, which makes every bite flavorful. The only downside is that out of my top three spots, this one has the oiliest sauce. It's a bit heavy and can leave you feeling kind of weighed down afterwards. I wish it was more like Lemon Pepper, where you barely taste any oil or butter. Still, that Steph Curry sauce flavor keeps me coming back. Their garlic noodles are also really solid, probably my second favorite anywhere. They've got great umami flavor without being too oyster sauce heavy, just garlicky with a touch of sweetness. The only bummer is that they used to have a rewards system, and when I tried giving my number yesterday, they said the company that ran it shut down, so all my saved points are gone. That was disappointing. Overall, Hang Ten is still a great spot for flavorful seafood boils, but now that I've discovered Lemon Pepper, I'll probably come here a little less often.

    Da dub basket 10/10

    What an amazing experience we had at Hang Ten Boiler! We came out for a Halloween Market and decided to grab lunch after stumbling upon this place, we walked by and couldn't resist the garlicky, buttery cajun notes wafting in the air. Small hole-in-the-wall type of interior with lots of sports decor and a cozy dining area with several wooden dining tables. They had a couple televisions playing varying sports channels , I could see this as a place to hang out and watch a game if sports is your kind of thing. Upon arrival we were seated within minutes. Our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout our luncheon, and even helped us decide which flavor to go with for our shrimp. We decided on the curry sauce, and we were so happy we did. I'm a sauce person and this is one of the most unique flavor profiles I've ever had for a seafood boil! We picked the medium spice flavor for our shrimp and it was just right, next time we would go spicier. Other highlights of our meal included the hang ten fries, tender bites of savory and smokey meat on top of fries, da dub basket, with fried shrimp, fried catfish, and fried oyster, we upgraded the side to garlic noodles. The breading was perfect, not too thick, slightly crispy and the seafood was juicy on the inside. We were super impressed by the food and cannot wait to go back!

    We arrived and were seated quickly. The crew was friendly and the food was tasty. While they serve beer and wine, they do not have a full bar. Which Is fine, but wanted to share that info if that's a deal breaker for you.

    Whenever craving a good Hawaiian and seafood fusion we always come back to this restaurant. Although it is a drive it's definitely worth it. The Warriors decor inside just makes it feel like you're truly in the bay.The service is always quick and attentive and it's truly just the perfect place to pop in for a quick bite. The garlic noodles and Cajun fries are a favorite and definitely a must try ! The portions are very generous, you can easily split most of the food between two people or more. We definitely always have leftovers when we leave this place. If you're looking for a place to get flavorful seafood boil and just overall good sides definitely check it out.!

    Audience is cool, the service is okay and the food is about the same. Just okay I've been here several times but I have t had anything great yet. Well actually the garlic noodles are pretty good but everything else okay

    Garlic Fries
    Al L.

    Our friends were visiting and wanted to have lunch here. I've known about Hang Ten but didn't know that they offered a Hawaiian menu and not just a Cajun seafood menu, which is not a preference of mine. Lot of sports décors on the wall and I knew this was the home of "We Believe" for you Warrior fans. Arriving at 12:30 on a Thursday, there were about three tables of diners, but there were a bunch of students from the Alameda High ordering lunch with a couple dining in. We were promptly seated and we checked out menu and placed our order. Lumpia - ten pieces of homemade lumpias to an order with sweet chili dipping sauce Garlic Fries - thin fries in a garlic sauce Garlic Noodles - a large portion. This was so tasty. Would definitely order again. Katsu Chicken with mac salad and broccoli - Chicken was moist and had a nice crispy batter Kalbi ribs with mac salad - Ribs were tender and good portion. Janelle's Loco Moco with broccoli - only disappointment. The patties were over cooked as they were tough. Definitely had better loco mocos. Overall, we had a good experience. Friendly service and good food at reasonable prices.

    Jordan's Combo
    Julianne L.

    Came here ready for a seafood boil and it was way better than I expected! I came in a group of 4, where we split the Hang Ten fries, two people ordered individual plates, and I shared Jordan's combo with one other person. The Hang Ten fries were deep fried to perfection and the kalua pork was salty and tender. They give you a big squeeze bottle of aioli sauce if you want more too. The portions for all of the entrees were MASSIVE! The Jordan's combo could definitely fill more than two people and you'd have leftovers to take home! I had it with the Hang Ten (Cajun) flavor and medium spicy. It was so delicious and spicier than I expected! It was even spicier and more flavorful the next day as leftovers. Those that ordered the entrees had a good portioned meal for another day. Service was fast and the market price for the Jordan's combo was ~$55 when I went.

    My mom was craving hang ten so I called for an order of one pound shrimp, medium spicy, hang ten flavor. It was ready super quick within ten minutes. I got there and realize they were prepping for closing. Staff were still super nice even though I know they just want to close up and go home. Very sweet staff. I went home to bring my mom the shrimp. She loved it. Perfect spice level we chose. My mom finished her meal and wanted more already haha

    Hang Ten is delish! Hang Ten Boiler is a lively restaurant with great food. Their portions are large and food is super flavorful. The shrimp, mussels, and clams are super plump and juicy! Their hard boiled eggs, potatoes, and sausages are pretty large which justifies their higher-than-average additional cost. I love love love the Steph Curry and Hang Ten sauces - their flavor profiles are super unique and unlike any other I've had at a seafood boil restaurant. The drinks, however, are pricey (sodas are sold by the can with no refills). Hang Ten is a hip spot. Like many other Cajun/seafood boil places, there are signatures on the walls and good music playing. It can get a bit rowdy, especially on Warriors game nights. This makes it a super fun spot though and a must-be location for good dinner and rooting for the team. The service is iffy. Sometimes we are seated and served quickly with zero complaint. Other times, we end up waiting for over 20 minutes for a water refill or a request for lemons, even on a non-busy night. The wait-staff are truly either phenomenal or grumpy. The majority of the time though, we are served well. I definitely recommend Hand Ten!

    If you're craving some real-deal Cajun food, hang ten is the spot. From the moment you step in, you're greeted by the rich, spicy smells of gumbo, jambalaya, and crawfish. The vibe is laid-back and fun, with a touch of New Orleans charm mix with a lot of Bay Area sport culture. Food: I went with the classic Bay Area special - garlic noodles, and wow--it did not disappoint. Also got the shrimp and crayfish. The shrimp were perfectly seasoned, with just the right amount of heat. The crayfish were steamed thoroughly, and they soaked up all the delicious sauce. The house special sauce is different, it has a curry based to it and not alike any other Cajun style resturaunt Service: The staff here is super friendly and really knowledgeable about the menu. Our server gave some great recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed without hovering. The food came out pretty quickly too, which was awesome. Vibe: The place has a cozy, down-home feel to it, with Bay Area decor that makes it feel like you're dining right in the heart of the bay. The music adds to the atmosphere, but it's not so loud that you can't carry on a conversation. It's the perfect place for a casual night out with friends or a date night if you're in the mood for something a little different. It's got great food, a fun atmosphere, and the kind of comfort you want when you're in the mood for bold flavors and good vibes.

    No they do not. Confirmed when I asked them.

    For the shrimp, clams or mussels, even mild can be spicy depending on personal level of tolerance. If it's your first time, I'll say get a not spicy and a mild. That way you can try what it's like first. I usually do so and mix them to get it to my…

    Absolutely wonderful experience here for a last-minute birthday dinner…read more We didn't have a reservation for a Saturday night, but did not have to wait around 5:45pm for a party of 2. There is plenty of seating inside, by the bar, and outside in a heated patio. I ordered the spaghetti del Trabocco, as I love seafood and pasta, but have food intolerance to onion and garlic, which has always been challenging for me when going to Italian restaurants. However, the waiter informed me that this dish has no onions or garlic at all! I have never yet encountered a pasta dish with no garlic/onion and was beyond exhilarated that I would be able to order this dish. My husband got the lasagna, and we both ordered drinks. The drinks came out within a few minutes, along with yummy bread, vinegar and olive oil. The entrees took about 10 minutes to come out but they were well worth the wait. The scallops in the spaghetti were so soft, the shrimp were large, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. One of the clams was slightly salty but it did not ruin the dish. My husband enjoyed his lasagna as well, noting it was fulfilling. The best part of the night, was when I asked for a tiramisu to celebrate my birthday. Having tiramisu cake on my birthday holds personal sentimental value to me. Apparently, when the cook isn't busy, he'll come out and sing Happy Birthday to you! The cook was busy when my cake came out about 10 minutes after we finished our main dishes, but the waiter came to sing instead and he was wonderful, topping off the night to say the cake was complimentary. I was almost brought to tears by the gesture. The tiramisu was delicious, devoured too quick, even my husband approved, and I have been thinking of it ever since. I am so appreciative of how they made my birthday dinner a wonderful experience, the service, and the delicious food. Would definitely recommend and come again.

    So I have held off doing a review for a long time because I was conflicted and just recently sort…read moreof figured out why. We have popped in here a lot over the years. Drinks and appetizers are great at the bar. Bartenders are nice. I think I had a cioppino or sea food stew once that was also really good. All the food coming out of the kitchen looks great. But here's the rub I finally figured out after talking about this place with my partner multiple times. There is tension in the air, a lot of it. Walking in you can feel it. Not sure where it's coming from since the owner, Gino I think, seems like a pretty nice and chill guy and interactions with him are always good and I see him interact with the staff in a positive way. So why the tension? Where is that coming from? Regardless, I don't need that tension and anxiety on my resume or in my tequila. For some reason I really wanted this place to be sort of a nice hang out and place to always go. Just hasn't panned out that way. We'll still go back at times and test the waters. Just not going to be one of our regular haunts. People seem to love it more than I currently do so there must be something there. Rounding up to 4.

    I actually haphazardly stumbled upon this place a few months back after hanging out at a brewery…read morenext door. After scoping out the vibes of the place and the menu, I told myself to make sure to give this a shot. The place is in a redeveloped corner of Alameda right next to the bay. Probably used to be Navy base grounds back in the day. But now there's a couple of blocks worth of hip warehouse-y type of buildings, mostly restaurants, beer spots, some lofts and a little retail commerce. Very happening even though the surrounding area is a ghost town. Dining area not too big, maybe a couple of rooms that can hold about 20-30 heads each. Think there's another room for a private party/overflow. Decor pretty minimalist and stark. Service on the upscale side but in my stay, matched the decor, very minimalist and stark. Efficient enough but a little terse with little emotion. But I know service personality can differ from time to time or person to person. Just my obsy for one out. Daily Crudo ($20/4*) I think this rotates daily. Our choices that day was hamachi or a house smoked sturgeon. The sturgeon really piqued my interest but then it really wouldn't be a 'crudo' anymore would it, since I relate crudos to something 'raw-ish'. So I chose the hamachi. Very pretty plating, I love symmetry and balance. The thin slices of hamachi were indeed fresh, sitting in a stealthy pool of yuzu and olive oil. There are some fresno pepper slices and microgreens that garnish and a delicious nori cracker to break and accompany the crudo. This went really well with my glass of Fume Blanc. Caeser ($17/4.5*) We split this salad as their version sounded super cool. A miso-tinged Caeser dressing, lots of rustic garlic croutons and feathery soft grated parm and a soft-boiled egg. I love properly made Caesers and this was one of the best and unique versions I've ever had. The umami punch and the diverse textures just hit with me. A tad salty for a salad, but the crunchy and refreshing lettuce was able to absorb the salt blast. Huge salad too, like ideal for splitting and ridiculously large if for 1. Beef Short Rib ($43/4*) This was on special that night, and since I wasn't feeling Steak Frites (their only other beef entree option) this kinda fell on my lap. Very heavy and hearty dish. The short rib part was impeccable, super tender, gotta be sous vide. Perfectly seasoned with braising elements completely penetrated into the meat. There was a coarse gravy/sauce that covered which was okay, may have been the braising liquid just pureed. Served atop a huge pile of some risotto that I didn't inquire about. This risotto is what made the dish especially heavy. I ate most of it and it put me in a heavy carb coma. Lol. But there was a nice serving of perfectly cooked broccolini which helped balanced out the rich beef and carb heavy risotto. Chocolate Bar ($13/4.5*) Shared this for dessert as I really couldn't take more than just a few bites after the filling entree. But was this impressive, like high end dessert quality. Whoever does the desserts here definitely has some pedigree. The precision cut bar consisted of 3 layers. A brownie layer; a Bailey's mousse; and a salted caramel layer. I was loving the texture of all the different layers playing on one another. And every flavor was distinct without being overly sweet, which hit the right chords with me. A thick ganache garnished off to the side, which was good but just seemed a bit overkill with the already chocolate dominant bar. I think a cream element would have been a better contrast instead of rich chocolate on rich chocolate. But very minor quip on an otherwise skillful dessert. I finished the last few sips of my glass of Rhone with this dessert, and it left me one happy camper. I would definitely return as their style with flavors hits an accord with me. A little French, a smidge of Japanese and a lot of California. Rounding to a fiver, as this place made me more happy than not.

Emily was a fantastic server…read morewith her welcoming smile and positive demeanor that kept just the right amount of attention on us. We had the buratta, the mixed greens salad, the duck and the pasta. We finished up with the chocolate bar dessert. This was the most incredible culinary experience I've had in a really long time and I was so happy to have it. The fresh pasta with the fresh English peas in the carbonara sauce was so light and flavorful. The duck was crispy and moist. The salad was gorgeous with edible flowers sprinkled in. It was just a treat all the way around. Thanks so much. Heather

    We came as a party of 7. Great ambiance for happy hour!! $1 oysters and fun drinks (but we didn't…read moretry this time). Note that there is a limit to 30 oysters per table. I really like how they let you build your seafood experience exactly how you want it, from the type of seafood to the seasoning and spice level. The only thing was I think the spice level could've been kicked up a notch. Our table ordered a mix of oysters, garlic noodles, Cajun fries, shrimp, crawfish, mussels, which came with corn, potatoes, sausage and hard boiled egg! The seafood was fresh and the sauce coated everything nicely without being overwhelmingly salty, and the corn and potatoes soaked up all the seasoning. All for a very reasonable price if you get the combo, which comes in 3 different tiers! The oysters were a standout--fresh, briny & I loved all the different sauces like horse radish and cocktail on the side. I do wish the fries were a bit more crispy and could've gone heavier with the Cajun seasoning, but that's personal preference. The atmosphere is casual, lively, and perfect for big groups. If you're looking for a customizable seafood boil with fresh oysters, fun drinks, and plenty of options to build your ideal meal, Rockin Crawfish is definitely worth a visit

    I was very disappointed with my recent takeout order. Before placing my order, I specifically asked…read morewhether the crawfish were live, and the waitress told me they were available. Based on that conversation, I expected fresh live crawfish, which was available Tuesday when I ordered from DoorDash the previous time. After I got home and opened my order this time. it was clear that the crawfish had been frozen. If the restaurant serves frozen crawfish, that's fine, but customers should be given accurate information when they ask directly about the product right? I feel misled because I relied on what I was told when making my purchase. Transparency is important, and I hope the restaurant does a better job communicating with customers about whether their crawfish are live or previously frozen. VERY DISHONEST BUSINESS SMH.

    Southern Comfort Kitchen has a drive-thru? I'm writing this review to share for those exploring…read moreAlameda Island that Southern Comfort Kitchen has a few locations throughout the East Bay (and many may know this restaurant for its food truck), but they now has a new(er) location in Alameda. As a parent, I never knew how much I would appreciate a drive-thru at spots like Walgreens, Starbucks, and now, an actual restaurant! It's the little things sometimes that really help to take the heavy lift off, while giving back the flexibility and energy to the driver :) While I can't speak for the interior of the restaurant, we did roll through the drive-thru to test it out over the weekend while exploring Alameda and all of its charm. On a Saturday evening it seemed like they were pretty swamped, and no one was responding at the drive-thru window so we figured maybe it was closed. We pulled up and my husband got out of the car to confirm before we pulled away with a worker inside the restaurant and they apologized. Almost immediately someone came to the window and gave us printed menus because we had already passed the digital menu part of the drive-thru. We ordered hush puppies, a fried shrimp po' boy sandwich, mac n' cheese, and bread pudding. Oh wee, we had a feast when we arrived home and reheated everything! I think they may still be working out some kinks, but I'm open to trying the drive-thru again next time we're in town post brewery fun. A drive-thru in the East Bay for Cajun bites? Very cool! I've explored their menu before and wow, that bread pudding! Special. Would go back for that alone to try it hot from the oven!

    Soooo I ordered through DoorDash. This was one of those meals that makes you just wish you'd have…read morecooked at home. Seriously. I've had far larger catfish portions for $20, and the catfish? Nothing Southern about it. The cornmeal batter was the most southern thing about it because the flavor? It should be on the back of a milk carton. In Alameda, I find it hard to find good food outside of Asian food. Asian cuisine is winning here, but that wasn't on the menu tonight. Hence my utter disappointment, and I should have known better once I saw bread crumbs included in the menu photos for the Mac and cheese. It just isn't for me. I didn't finish the meal, and the Mac and cheese just isn't the style that I prefer. The best thing in my plate were the four shrimp. Very flavorful and actually tasted like something worth digesting. The fries? I could tell they'd been frozen before.
