My go-to seafood boil spot in the South Bay! I remember…read morecoming to this restaurant's grand opening and thinking - this place is going to be insanely popular because the sauce is so good! Thankfully, the masses have not found it yet. My regular order is as follows: - Combo 1 with 2lbs of head on shrimp and 1lb of clams. House special sauce medium - House special sauce spicy on the side - Rice on the side (mandatory) - Strawberry lemonade Some week days, they also have raw oysters for a dollar so check that out! An amazing deal that is hard to find in SJ (more prevalent up in SF from lived experience). I usually get the same staff member. I think his name is Cory and he is super friendly and attentive! Highly recommend checking it out if you like seafood boil as much as I do!

Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing…read more The seafood arrived only warm, and the additional sauce we ordered was barely lukewarm. The fries and garlic noodles came out about 20 minutes after the seafood by which point we had already finished eating. We also had to flag our server down twice to follow up on the fries and garlic noodles. The service itself was okay, but the timing and lack of follow-up were frustrating. The oysters were particularly disappointing. They looked sad and were not what we expected. I also ordered a Coke Zero but received Diet Coke instead despite Coke Zero being listed on the restaurant's website. Most concerning, I became sick with what I believe was food poisoning after the meal. I can't definitively say the restaurant caused it, but the timing was concerning and made an already disappointing experience even worse. Lastly, they advertised a free appetizer for signing up for their rewards program with an entrée purchase. We signed up and purchased an entrée, but when we tried to redeem the offer, we were denied and told to use it on our next visit instead. Given our experience, there won't be a next visit. Overall, between the lukewarm food and sauce, delayed sides, disappointing oysters, incorrect drink, getting sick afterward, and the rewards promotion not being honored, this was an extremely disappointing experience. We won't be coming back.

Food: Ume Bowl with Ochazuke Set Price: $26 + $4.5…read moreOverall: I came here with my boyfriend to celebrate our anniversary back in April! It is in the general area with Cere Tea and Koi Palace. We arrived around 6PM and were seated immediately. We came for the seafood don and both got the UME with an addition of the ochazuke set. For $26 + 4.5 for the set, I think it's really worth the price and you get a good amount of fresh fish. Each bite felt like I was transported to Japan and eating a Kaisendon. Although we had to wait for a bit for the dashi soup to arrive , it was a delicious end to our meal. So comforting and hearty.

Cute little space in a very Asian-centric strip near that McCarthy Ranch area, right below Koi…read morePalace iykyk. Loved the quaint atmo, dark colors with zen vibes and the small space made me feel like I found a gem in an alley in Japan. Unique menu where they'll do a few fried apps, udon soups where they told me the noodles are homemade. And this rice seafood bowl where minced up tuna and other sushi ingredients are all in one bowl. I've had chirashi hundreds of times but I've never had a bowl quite like this...so I had to give it a whirl. Take Bowl ($33/4*) So this gets presented in a very Japanese fashion. On a tray with a decorative ceramic bowl containing the seafood and rice, a matching ceramic bottle of homemade soy sauce, a pickled cabbage side and a nice big wooden spoon. In that bowl is a base of warm plain short grain rice, topped with a generous mound of minced raw tuna, a little snow crab, a few chunks of raw scallop and this particular version has a ton of salmon roe. It is garnished with a small nori sheet, some scallions, pickled ginger and wasabi. So very familiar ingredients if you're a fan of sushi, but the experience is one I can say I've never done. Menu says to first make your own hand roll with that nori sheet, stuff it to your hearts content. Once that's done you can eat the bowl as you wish. Hopefully with a dousing of the soy/wasabi combo as the minced fish is completely plain, no seasoning. I kinda mixed the seafood mixture into the rice a bit, not sure if that's the move. Now here's my take on this new way to eat sushi ingredients. I liked it but I didn't love it. I think I would much rather just eat a chirashi or a tartare prep from a sushi chef, as those have texture and flavor added by a chef. Here you have to do everything yourself and often there can be a learning curve to the new experience. Like I had to add the soy/wasabi mix several times, as I just couldn't figure out the right amount as their soy sauce is much less salty than commercial versions. And I was too concerned on not going overboard and ruining my bowl, so I was doing it in a very cautious but cumbersome manner. Also since everything was so minced up, the overall texture is very one note, soft and mushy. At least with a chirashi you can sense each fish's firmness and unique texture. Here the chopped tuna, chopped scallop and shredded crab are all soft, and with the soft rice, was just a mush fest for me. There were small hunks of cucumber and pickled lotus root that gave little hits of crunch, but still not enough for me. I will say the seafood is very fresh and in good portioning. Fried Squid Legs ($4.50/4*) Very small skewer of trimmed up calamari tentacles fried tempura style. The fry is very light. The tentacles remain quite tender yet with a slight chew. But the crispness was minimized by the light fry. Still decent with the cold seafood bowl, to go back and forth on the bites. I'd still come back to try those homemade udon noodles, now that I've knocked out their seafood bowl. Give me an adventure and I'll delve right in. Thanks Yaichi for providing such an adventure.

He's the assistant manager and was incredibly polite and informative and gave me lots of information. I ended up making the reservation and then calling later to confirm and altered a bit. I then changed it to 16 but in the end we were 13. We sat outside which was a pleasure. Loved that they were able to keep us to one table too. Many in our large party were locals and raved about the place. We ordered the two big seafood platters and coconut shrimp for the table to start. The local person who ordered extra shrimp said they are the best he's ever had. They were good!! Everything on the big platters went! I had a salad and then the salmon and was extremely pleased with my meal. We ordered wine for the table and they were great about refilling the glasses and keeping up on ordered drinks and water refills. Two people ordered the mocktail and loved it. My only constructive criticism would be to keep up on clearing dirty plates. The dirty appetizer plates were still there on the table during dessert. Even with my not-so-subtle trying to hand them to the waiter. I would eat here again.

This was my go-to seafood boil spot for the past five years. I'd always recommend this place to…read morefriends because it was consistently one of the better seafood boil spots in SJ. After today's visit, though... I finally understand why the second location closed. Ordered: Shackie's Sauce (Hot) Shrimp & Mussels Combo Snow Crab Clusters Garlic Noodles Garlic Fries The seafood boil was nowhere near the quality it used to be. The corn tasted old, the shrimp and snow crab didn't taste fresh, and the snow crab clusters had barely any meat. By the time I cracked everything open, it felt like there was more shell than seafood. The mussel shells even had barnacles on them, which I've never seen here before. It made the seafood feel like it hadn't been cleaned as well as it should have. The garlic fries were crispy, but that's it. It was weird--I could see the garlic and was literally eating it, yet there was no garlic flavor. The garlic noodles used to be one of my favorite items because they were bold and packed with garlic. Now they've definitely toned the flavor down, and they're just not the same anymore. It's honestly disappointing because this place used to be one of my favorite seafood spots. The food quality has clearly declined while the prices have continued to go up. I hope they can get back to what made this place so good, but based on today's experience, I can't recommend it anymore.

Flavor gets deeper as it gets cooked in the dish Corn skewer - 3 star. Nice smoky and sweet but a bit dry. Lamb skewer - 1 star. A bit too dry and chewy and flavor is ok especially after the savory fish. It's a decent place for hang out with friends over roasted fish and a beer - if someone crave it.

Unfortunately, today's experience was nowhere near what we remembered. We ordered a pound of king crab, snow crab & shrimp, and snow crab with Cajun fries -- definitely not a cheap order. We were also told we couldn't order or pay over the phone because of the cost, which was already a little frustrating. But the food was the real disappointment. The sauce was extremely watered down, to the point that the seasoning wouldn't even stick to the shrimp, crab, potatoes, or corn. The crab itself was flimsy and somehow tasted dry like it wasn't fresh, and several of the claws had little to no meat in them. Being a pescatarian, and I can honestly say I've never thrown away a pound of king crab until today. For what king crab costs, that says everything. We used to love this place, which is why this experience was especially disappointing.
