    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.

    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.!

    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.

    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.

    Dungeness crab in Steph Curry sauce
    Billy L.

    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!

    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.

    Met up with a friend for dinner. It was a spontaneous evening and we came in with an appetite. We ordered the Dungeness crab, shrimp and corn with garlic noodles. Oh so damn good, I could dunk my face in it and drink it! We got down and dirty- but with gloves and bibs! There was no cracker for the crab, so we ended up cracking the crabs against the table. Yummy!!! Service was fast and friendly!

    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…

We arrived a few minutes after 2pm. We asked for an outside table because we had the dog with us. After being seated with menus and water, we were told that we could order via QR Code or go inside to order. I placed our order via QR Code and paid using an app. Our server was very nice and brought both water and then after asking us, bacon for the dog, which she greatly appreciated. Our entrees were served to us at our table. She got Kai's Plate Lunch with Teriyaki Chicken and Kalua Pork with Fried Rice and a Lilikoi Lemonade to drink. Her order also came with a bowl of Tutu's Mac Salad which was made with spaghetti noodles. I had Syd's Loco Moco with Burger, Portuguese Sausage, two Eggs Over Easy and Gravy on top of Fried Rice. We both enjoyed our meals with the understanding that we would be thirsty for the rest of the day. I found my hamburger, Portuguese Sausage and gravy to be salty. The fried rice was surprisingly good with edamame and bits of red pepper in it. My two Over Easy Eggs were Over Medium as the yolk didn't really run when split open. She said that her Kalua Pork was extremely dry and the Chicken had apparently been marinated for a long time (salty). We both found the Mac Salad interesting. We think we've had this style before but aren't sure. Short spaghetti noodles instead of elbow macaroni and possibly vinegar added. Neither of us was able to finish our order. My wife went inside to get a single clam shell for our leftovers. She was gone quite a long time and when I asked what took so long, she said that the cashier had a hard time getting the receipt out of the printer (lightbulb moment!). I asked if she had paid the bill and she had. I asked to see her receipt and it was for a different amount than what I had paid. I realized the difference was that she had not been charged the $6 upcharge for the second meat on her plate. That also caused an adjustment to the sales tax and gratuity. I told our server that I was afraid that we were going to end up being double charged (this is where i failed miserably). The receipts had two different numbers on them. One was for $70.xx and the other was for $55.xx. The server told me to look at my online receipt and then the in-house receipt. the in- house receipt did not show the last four digits of MY credit card. Of course not, it showed my wife's credit card, which I did not look at until we got home. And of course, when we called the restaurant, they were closed. I never went inside but enjoyed our space outside with Hawaiian Music playing. Loved the vibes but the menu is small and too sodium rich for me.

There is a kids menu with three items: grilled cheese, chicken tenders and crispy shrimp. The portion sizes were good and my kids enjoyed their food. Especially the sweet potato fries it came with. The kids drinks come in a really cute branded cup with sea creatures on it. Hubby and I enjoyed our food as well. The coconut shrimp here is so good, we can't get enough. Our favorite though is the All In fried rice. There's plenty of protein and veggies packed in to make you feel less guilty, but it's so good and flavorful. I tried the Huli Huli chicken sandwich and it was not bad! A bit messy, but juicy and just the right amount of spice. We paired our food with the classic Mai tai (it was invented here after all). I got mine with a guava twist and it was so refreshing on a hot day. Service was a little slow, since it looked like there were only one or two waiters holding down the lunch time crowd. But in my opinion it just adds to the island vibes; why be in a hurry?

He finally comes and I order some happy hour menu items (because it's the menu I was given when I was seated,during happy hour)only for him to pull out his phone (to show me what time it was) and tell me happy hour ended 5 minutes ago-passive aggressive. I tell him we've been here 20 minutes and he visibly irritated says he will let me order..."this time". Whatever dude, I just want to order, this is the menu I was given, I don't want to deal with the drama, just be cool. We get the food which was really good (pu pu party and beef sliders) my friend orders an ice tea since she was the DD and I order a pina colada with a float of chambord on top . They bring me a liquid drink with ice and I tell them I ordered a pina colada, the very nice lady (not the male server assigned to me) tells me it's how they make pina coladas. That's strange to me but she offers to have it made the traditional way and brings me a new one so I was happy but still baffled as to why they make them that way? It's like ordering a chocolate milkshake and getting chocolate milk and then they tell you that's how they make the chocolate shakes here. After finishing everything, we again wait for a check in, I wanted to order another drink but our server was nowhere to be found. We now have to leave to get to a show in SF and had to flag someone down to get the check, only to have them quickly drop it off and leave. Then we wait again to have it picked up so they can charge the card etc. Our waiter never checked in, made no eye contact, looked like he was in a bad mood and was probably punishing us for challenging him on the happy hour menu. I was so excited to come here as I haven't been in 10 years but it sadly was a big buzz kill and it was due to our servers bad attitude and poor service.
