Ambiance (4/5): The type of look you expect at a high-end steakhouse and seafood restaurant. While they have some nice booths, both times, I've sat at the bar. Service (4/5): Service overall is pretty good. Not the most friendly, not super efficient, but efficient with a focus on the details. What you expect at a fine dining establishment. Drinks (4/5): Ocean Prime has a nice happy hour that ends at 6 p.m. on weekdays on both drinks and food. On my most recent visit, I had a $5 Heineken (there are several other options). There are also discounts on wine and select cocktails. Food (4/5): I went big on my last visit. There are a good number of appetizers on their happy hour and I started with two: the jumbo shrimp cocktail and the High Street roll. The shrimp cocktail is served with some dry ice which makes for an awesome visual aspect to the dish. Four large shrimp, chilled, in a bed of cocktail sauce. You can't really mess this one up. The High Street roll has tempura shrimp, cream cheese, scallions, and beef carpaccio. A+ for creativity. From there, I had the 8 ounce Piedmontese steak which was a first. It's an expensive steak, similar to wagyu in terms of quality. It's a matter of preference. Piedmontese is a lean, high-protein steak which wagyu is ultra-rich and buttery. It did taste different from any steak I've ever had in my life, but in a good way. Medium rare, of course. I ordered a twice baked potato a la carte for my side. A fantastic meal all-around, though not inexpensive. Happy hour does help though.

Our favorite menu items have been the Tuna carpaccio, Cajun Shrimp Angel hair Pasta(this is something we HAVE to order every time-SO GOOD), and the 12 hour Braised Short Rib w/mash. The only reason I am taking off a star for now is our last visit. We tried the Octopus appetizer for the first time. As a chef, I know my food well(sometimes unfortunately so). Would not order it again and the price tag hurt for what it was. Pretty sure it came from a can. It had the preservative oil and texture. Also was a but fishy and could have been canned tuna if you close your eyes. The second thing was our favorite shrimp pasta.

It's such a unique way to eat an oyster. They jazz it up with a specific flavor. For example: I always order the Rosé, Dumpling, and Marichada. It's a perfect balance of refreshing, savory and spicy. Truth be told I ordered like 3 rounds of those, especially at only $9 for three of them, it's worth it. I am a huge fan of short rib. I've tried multiple restaurants, and this place beats all of those other places, no question! It's so tender and delicious. The Marichada ceviche was also a hit, and had a side of some sort of green avocado sauce, yummy! Parking is easy as well, there's some right in front or parking lots surrounding the buildings. Both the Humble Bistro and Humble Oysters & Bubbles are a perfect spot to visit. Owned by the same company. They never disappoint! Most definitely will return again.

My wife and I moved to Cave Creek 3 years ago, one of the first dining experiences we had in this…read morearea was at Chula Grayhawk. We have been regular diners there since. My wife is from Boston and I'm from San Francisco, we moved here from New Zealand and truly appreciate and enjoy fresh, well-prepared seafood Chula has certainly filled that bill! We went there this evening for a casual early Friday dinner. If you've been there before you know that guests stood in line in front of the refrigerated counter showcasing their fresh seafood selections and placed your order at the end of the counter - if you had guests, if you were like me, I firmly advised them to know what they wanted when we hit the order counter. This evening was entirely different; I arrived before my wife and was greeted by a host from a stand halfway between the front door and the refrigerated case. Tiffany greeted me and asked how many in my party and said she would seat me. I asked, don't we order at the counter? She said, no, tonight is the first night we are trying full table service. What a great change! Chelsea was our server, we ordered drinks and had time to look at the menu. Far more relaxing! Arriving just before 5 pm, we enjoyed happy hour prices for our beverages, and I ordered fresh northwest coast oysters as an appetizer at $1 less per oyster during happy hour. They were fantastic, tasting of the briny pacific ocean, plump and properly served with mignonette. The servers and assistants were all attentive and each advised that table service was new, so they were testing it. Our dinners were well prepared and delicious, I had one of the best salmon filets I've been served, grilled to perfection and served with my request for lemon butter only. When presented the check, I asked about inputting my phone number as a regular we've been earning points. The server was able to input my number at the table and we received a discount on top of it. I certainly hope Chula continues with the table service as it was far more relaxing and less hectic than standing in line. Either way, the seafood has always been exceptional - kudos to the chefs. BTW - Tiffany is the manager and touched tables and showed that she cares; Sorry for the long review but it was such a service change I want everyone to know. We will be back!

On my recent visit, my mom and brother both had cooked fish with some sides and they thought it was good but not great. I am a fan of the fast casual, order at the counter, concept, and this Chula is no exception. Pricing is a bit steep but if you want fresh quality seafood, you can't go wrong here at this or other Chula locations.

Where things really took a turn was the food. I was so hoping I found a new staple in our walkable restaurants list but the food was mostly disappointing. We liked our fairly standard French onion soup and Caesar salad. The shrimp cocktail were not good at all. Shrimp was tough and mealy. They marinate them with a bunch of herbs. Maybe that caused the unpleasant texture? On top of that, I did not like the herbs used in the marinade. Good shrimp cocktail stands on its own! I should also add that these were $7/each. A week later I had the most amazing shrimp cocktail - tender and sweet and almost double the size for $4/each. I don't mind paying $7. I've paid $13 each for good shrimp cocktail. Just a lot of money to spend on something so disappointing. Our sea bass was also tough. Flavor was okay. The piece was fairly thin - possibly why it was overcooked? For those who love sea bass, I suggest checking it out at SumoMaya or Dominick's. Can't be beat! Sadly, I don't think we'll be back. Too many other excellent options nearby.

Jin Jia is a beautiful restaurant with an amazing ambiance. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the service was excellent, making for a very pleasant dining experience. The entire place was clean and well-maintained, contributing to an overall positive atmosphere. However, the food didn't quite match the high expectations set by the environment. We tried the bok choy, pork fried dumplings, chili garlic chicken, citrus chicken, and chicken fried rice. The bok choy was cooked perfectly with a slight crunch and good flavor, though it was a bit overwhelmed by the sauce. It would have been better if there was less sauce to allow the natural flavor of the bok choy to shine through. The pork dumplings, unfortunately, fell short. They lacked enough filling, and the dough's consistency wasn't to my liking. The chili garlic chicken was tasty with a little heat, and the flavor was good, but the use of chicken thighs made it somewhat fatty, which wasn't ideal. White meat would have been a better choice here. The citrus chicken was an interesting dish, but the fattiness of the meat was off-putting. I found the flavor bland, though the addition of Serrano peppers was a highlight -- they were delicious and added a nice kick. The chicken fried rice was standard, with good flavor and chicken that reminded me of teriyaki chicken. Overall, while Jin Jia offers a lovely dining experience with great service and ambiance, the food didn't live up to the price point. I was hoping for better quality meats and more flavorful dishes, considering the cost. read more

The food we got was good but the experience as a whole was not. We ordered 3 entrees but the server forgot to put in one of them so we didn't get it. We got our water refilled with something that was not regular water so we had to flag the server down to correct that. We had no plates for our entrees and asked the person that brought them for plates. I guess she told our server so we waited for plates which never came as it turns out the person told our server the wrong table. At least there were plates sitting on the table next to us or we still might be waiting for them. Not that you should have poor service anywhere but at this price point it's not acceptable. read more
