Loved their happy hour specials and came when it was not busy. This used to be a revolving hot pot place so you can see that the booths are divided throughout the restaurant. Food came out pretty fast and the crawfish was pretty decent! Oysters were pretty fresh and good for the deal they had. They were fairly new when I went so they have some kinks that I'm sure they will figure out with time! read more

My thoughts: This is a traditional classic seafood restaurant that is been newly open in the milpitas area through out the up and down of the economy. And any restaurant can survive the harsh business world is A OK in my book. Plus they do serve good Seafood and maintain a reasonable price. Here is my scoring card for this restaurant: 1) Location: ( 5 Point ) - Great location for customer to see and find. Great parking for street parking and back side with parking lot parking. 2) Decoration : (2 Point) - They still have the original decoration. Clean up to date. 3) Price: ( 4 point)- The price is competitive but still a little bit pricey compare to other same stars and type food they serve 4) Quality and Taste : ( 3 point)- The quality is ok, food taste is good and portions are below average . 5) Type of cuisine standard : ( 4 point) - The style of seafood they serve is pretty close to the way it was prepare in USA. Not bad! But some dishes did have slightly modify to cater the customer's need Overall it's not bad and I thinks it's great to give it a try and let me know what you think.

I am a seafood boil kind of girl and I wanted to try this new place out. There have been a lot of hit or miss boils, and this place had good reviews for being new, so we wanted to try it out and see for ourselves. There were not a lot of people there, so my friends and I got seated right away. It was me and 5 of my friends and we ordered 4 bags of shrimp and Combo #1. Our 4 bags came out but we did have to wait a bit longer for the combo. When it came out, it was presented very beautifully in a bowl tray thing. The Ocean Mix flavor was a big hit and I really enjoyed it, but the only thing was that a few of our shrimps were over cooked. Tried one of the clams from my friends combo and the tomato flavor was more intense, but it was the same Ocean Mix. It was really good still. We ordered a dozen oysters, and that was also good. It didn't have a strong bottom of the ocean taste to it. It was nice and simple. Squeeze some lemon and pour some hot sauce on it and it was delicious. The fries were really good as well. It was nice they had a fruit & dessert bar, but they didn't stock it up when we went. Maybe because it was not pack and busy for a Sunday dinner, but at least make it look presentable. They started of strong with their customer service making sure everything was good and we got our waters refilled, but towards the end of our dinner, we had to flag down our server because we were done and wanted the cake we brought in, which they kept in the fridge for us. Thank you for doing that. Our server was great though, just wish that it was consistent. I get it, it is a Sunday evening and we all want to go home, but slacking on the customer service towards the end of the night was not good. I feel kind of bad for the 3 stars, but the bathroom needed to have their pipes cleaned or something. It was not a bathroom smell, but the swage pipes needed some taking care of. I know this place took over not to long ago, but this was something they needed to take care of. Do go and try this place out because their Ocean Mix flavor is delicious. Their garlic noodle was also good. I do want to see this place succeed because of their food. read more

I've always wondered what happened to the previous occupants that were here as it seemed like they were only here for a little bit before shutting down. But really glad this place opened up. Parking is no issue as it's pretty huge and shares it with starbucks, but who goes to get coffee after 6pm so there's plenty to spare. Came in around 7:30pm and was seated right away. Their menu features a front and back side so not too much to pick from and easy to decide what everyone wants. We had asked what was good for appetizers and the server recommended the Chicken Wings so we got a 12 piece Cajun Garlic as we normally don't see that. Along with wings we got Garlic Bread and Popcorn Shrimp. Lastly we also got 2 Lobster Tails mixed in their Ocean Mix Sauce which is a combination of all their sauces. As of late i've been into dry rubs and this Cajun Garlic has become my new favorite. Thinking about it too, I don't think any other place has a flavor like this. The Popcorn Shrimp was lightly breaded with a light cocktail sauce that I usually don't care for, but this one was paired perfectly. The Garlic Bread was what you expect from a seafood place, nothing out special just good to eat with seafood boil. As for the Lobster Tail it was really good for it being my first time trying to peel it myself and the sauce had a little kick but also lemony taste to it. I haven't tried the other sauces, but will probably stick to this one. Another thing I wasn't expecting was a full on fruit and dessert bar, they had cantaloupe, honey dew, strawberries and pineapples. As for the dessert, they had a variety of cakes and jellos. My personal favorite was the Chocolate one (I grabbed 5) Overall, will be back and hopefully grab a Po'Boy next as I've also been into those. read more

I really wanted to like this place but it just fell short. I saw a couple of reviews about the service being slow but it was okay on the day we went. We went on a Saturday at around 6:30 pm. They had about 3 servers going around and checking on everyone. The inside of the restaurant was spacious and clean. What stood out to me was the smell of the bathroom. It smelled so so bad...idk if it was just that day but my friends said that men's bathroom also smelled bad. If I didn't eat already, I would've probably lost my appetite... We got the oysters since they were running a special. They were just okay. I wish it was colder. The oysters were also big so they didn't have much flavor. The lobster roll had mayo, celery, and other things in it that you couldn't really taste the lobster. Def not worth. Into the seafood boils, the mild was spicier than I thought. The flavor of the sauce was good but a lot of the meat from the shrimp, king crab legs, and lobster tails were stuck to the shell. It made it really difficult to peel and eat. I feel like this place has potential but they just need to tweak some things. read more

This location has had it fair share different restaurants so we were quite surprised to find out it was now a seafood boil restaurants. It's not hot pot anymore but you can still see remnants of the previous restaurants. We went on a Sunday evening and it was pretty empty. We were seated right away, and after ordering we looked at the fruit/dessert bar. The fruit selection was alright but the oranges were really sweet. The desserts were your basic buffet-style cakes. It used to be a hot pot place before so they had hot pot sauce bar as well. Interestingly, they do serve hot pot here, either as a platter or a combo. They had a deal going on where you can get 2 free lobster tails after spending over a certain amount of money. We got the combo #1 with 2 lb shrimp and 1 lb mussel, Cajun garlic sauce. The shrimp was a little too overcooked because the shrimp wasn't peeling nicely, and I thought the sauce was okay. I wonder if we could choose more than one sauce per bag, I would like that better. Additionally when I had asked for salt and pepper, they provided them in shakers. It would have been nicer and cleaner if they provided them in little cups (as they do in other Cajun restaurants) For appetizers we got French fries, onion rings, and garlic noodles. We also ordered rice to eat with our seafood which arrived very late. The garlic noodles were one of the best I've ever tasted! My favorite in the menu. The fries and onion rings were very mediocre, not bothering with those again next time. The Cajun fries were just French fries tossed in some Cajun seasoning.. I think what makes this restaurant stand out is their variety in their menu. On top of the usual seafood boil, garlic noodles, fries, etc, they also offer lobster rolls and other unique appetizers that I don't often see in other places, like poboys and a variety of different salads. There's something for everyone to eat here if your whole group isn't into seafood boil. I didn't really get a good first impression but I would definitely like to come back to see if they've improved. read more

Came in for dinner on a Sunday evening about 7pm, restaurant wasn't busy. The service was a little slow. Garlic Noodles was a hit, just the right amount of seasoning. Lemon Pepper Fries was great, perfectly seasoned. Hot Pot with Pork Belly, Lamb, Rib Eyes with Miso Soup and veggies was pretty good. They give you a lot of meat. There is a sauce bar, where you can pick your sauces. Also at the sauce bar there are fruits you can get as well. Combo # 2 with King Crab Legs, 1lb of shrimp with heads and 1lbs without. I wanted them to combo the garlic butter with lemon pepper sauce together, server told to get the cajun garlic with is the same as what I wanted. Against my better judgement I went with her recommendation, I didn't taste ANY lemon pepper and very mild garlic butter, the cajun took over the flavors. The shrimps with heads were a average size, but the ones without were small. They have a grand opening promotion, when you spend $125 or more you get 2 lobster tails which is very easy to do when have seafood. Here is the BIGGEST complaint, the king crab legs, the lobsters and the shrimps with head were very hard to peel, the meat sticks to the shells. 2 stars because of the seafood meat sticking to the shells. That is the main course. Can't mess that up even tho you got your size dishes perfected. It will be a long time before giving them another chance, they are way too good cajun seafood boils restaurant around. read more

I happened to find this restaurant on Yelp by chance. Since we got out of the gym around 9, we saw this spot was nearby, open until 11:30PM, new, and has both seafood boil + hotpot. We arrived at around 9:30PM and the place was empty so we were seated immediately. This place is huge, it can accommodate large parties, and has an interesting playlist for the music/ambiance. The ceiling literally says Ox Hot Pot on it so we were excited for the hot pot. When we ordered the seafood combo #1 with hot cajun garlic sauce and the hotpot, our server didn't tell us they didn't have broth for their hotpot that late at night, so we had already went and made a concoction of hotpot sauce at their sauce bar when they informed us they couldn't serve us the hotpot. We ordered 2 lb of headless shrimp (extra $2 charge per lb) and didn't get to make a selection on the last 1 lb (no big deal since we're not too picky.) We also specifically asked for no corn or potatoes, which the server said that's fine. Unfortunately, we ended up receiving 1 lb of headless shrimp, 1 lb of mussels, 1 lb of clams, and we got these big a** corn in the bag. The sausages were large as well (compared to other seafood boil spots.) Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise because the headless shrimp (which probably shrunk a lot during the cooking process) were so tiny when served. The sauce was pretty spicy for hot, but it was good. It was more like a paste than sauce, but pairs very well with lime/lemon juice. They closed early as well, which is also no big deal, as there weren't other customers around 10 PM. After tip and tax, the bill was ~$70 and we went to Mcdonald's afterwards lol. We were aware of the free lobster with purchases $100+ on birthdays via Yelp, but weren't made aware of any other deals during their grand opening. Overall 2.5/5 stars which I'll round up to 3 for Yelp. Hoping to revisit to try the hotpot + seafood combo next time after they improve! read more

This spot got another restaurant. First, good luck to ya. I hope you survive and prosper. Now, onto the place. It's new and clean. I was there all by myself tonight. I think it might be a good idea to add some big screen TVs. Would be cool to watching some kpop as I think kpop was playing ... I could have sworn it was GD I heard. Home sweet home.... bang bang bang.. nah. It wasn't playing kpop. But it would be nice though.... Anyways. On to the food. I think it was ok. I got combo #1. Shrimp mussels clam.... Shrimp was good mussels was good. Clams were ok. Could be better if bigger. Potatoes sausage and corn were mediocre. Need to balance the thermal mass. The service was very good. Pretty cute girls. Perhaps cuz i was the only customer, she came by several times to check. Very attentive. A plus . The extra was the fruit and dessert area. That's a plus as well I say add it all up and it's about a 4 star. I would definitely stop by again to try the rest of the menu... read more

My friends and I came in on a Saturday night around 9 PM after a massage appointment. We were hoping to find a good spot open at that time since it's usually hard to find quality late-night food. Thankfully, this place popped up on Yelp, and they're open until 11:30 PM! We were seated immediately, and our server was incredibly friendly throughout the night. She informed us about all the ongoing promos and even mentioned that they had a fruit bar we could enjoy while waiting for our orders--desserts included! This restaurant had just opened the week before, so we were excited to try it out, especially with their grand opening deals. The $1 oysters? Give us a dozennnn!!! We ordered Combo #2, which included crawfish, mussels, and Dungeness crab. Along with that, we got garlic noodles, rice, and an extra pound of head-on shrimp. Our server let us know that if we reached $125, we'd get a free lobster tail--turns out, we got two lobster tails LOL Everything was delicious. The sauce had the perfect consistency and spice level--I'm usually pretty picky about that, but they nailed it. I highly recommend this place. The quality is great, the prices are reasonable, and the restaurant itself is clean and well-organized. I'm not sure if this was a newly renovated spot or if another place had closed down, but either way, it's a great addition. Overall, I definitely recommend checking them out. Give it a try :) read more

Solid three star experience. Not amazing, not awful, just OK. Came here on a Sunday evening, no reservation, with six people. No res was really needed as there were only about 3 other groups in the restaurant. We were greeted immediately with two really nice servers. We chose a table in the back, and they kindly took our birthday cake to the fridge which was super nice! Menus were given, and the prices are pretty standard for this kind of food. About $17.99-19.99 per pound of things like shrimp, clam, etc. My husband and I ended up getting the 49.99 combo 1 which came with a pound of clams, two pounds shrimp head on, sausage, potato, and two corn. We also ordered a side of rice. Mostly everyone else just got a bag of shrimp with flavors like the ocean mix or garlic butter. Hubs and I were the only one with a combo and it came on this really large and pretty decorative serving bowl with a tealight fire underneath. It was nice to look at but honestly it was the wrong choice because it made all the food overcook. The shrimp was SOOOOO difficult to peel and it all got gummy and gross!!! It was such a disappointment :( The potato was perfectly cooked and the clams were good, but gritty. The sauce was more on the tomato-y side. We got two orders of fries which were just fine, and the garlic noodles were really tasty and i recommend those. They also had a buy 2 beer get 1 free, as well as a spend over $125 get 2 lobster tails deal. Must be grand opening deals! The bathrooms were AWFUL and very reminiscent of asia sewage vibes, please hold your breath when you go in. The cake and the fruit were old and sad looking. Overall, service was good, do NOT get the combo or all your food will be overcooked, garlic noodles were yummy. We will likely not return, even though we love cajun seafood :( read more

Had a craving for Cajun seafood on a random weeknight. Found this place on Yelp and decided we should try it out as all Cajun places are either a hit or miss. The location used to be a Shabu place, but I think they still have hot pot? Ordered their combo with shrimp, clams and snow crab and we were thoroughly surprised by the amount of crab we got! The sauce was a little too peppery for our liking, so we may just go with garlic butter next time. The crab was very fresh, but the shrimps were a little tough, which means they were either frozen or just not as fresh, but no real complaints here. Decent place, I feel like it's like a 6/10 for us. Service was great and they also have a sauce and fruit/dessert bar for free! read more

We were so excited to try this new place out since we love Cajun style shrimp. We were disappointed. The shrimp wasn't as flavorful as Ray's Crab Shack. The calamari that we ordered was so rubbery. It was difficult to chew and swallow. The only good dishes we liked was the popcorn chicken, garlic noodles, and the catfish with fries. The service was very good though. Our server was always happy to serve us. Place is newly opened so everything has the brand new look. read more

Let me just start off by saying maybe I went on the wrong day. Decided to do a date night here. It's spacious inside and it could hold a couple group parties at once (if the party size was like 10-15ppl). This building has been constantly rotating new restaurants so let's hope for the best. Overall the food was ok. We ordered the combo #1 which included 3lbs of our choice of seafood (shrimp, crawfish, clams, mussels) and comes with 2 corn, 4 pcs sausage and 2 potatoes. For sides we ordered garlic noodles and fried oysters which came with fries. Combo #1: we chose 2lb of shrimp head on (head off costs $2 more btw) and 1lb of crawfish. Our sauce of choice was Cajun garlic with medium spice level. Was it spicy? Not at all. I usually order mild at kicking crab and boiling crab but medium at ocean 9 crab was mild to me. The potatoes were mushy. I will say the corn was massive. Flavor wise, it was ok. I felt like it was missing something. Maybe they're known for their Szechuan pepper sauce but I personally don't like the tingling feeling of Szechuan peppers. Fried Oysters with fries: eat them right away or else the batter on the oysters gets a little soggy. The fries were plain but I don't think other seafood boil offers fries with their fries oysters so I'll give it to them. Garlic noodles: this was fire! Nice flavorful. I would probably only come back for these. It was a good amount for two people. Part of the reason why I'm rating so low is because the service was off for me. I'm used to being greeted with "is this your first time" or "any questions about our menu". Mind you, this place has been open for 8 days so I would assume that's a standard question to ask their new customers. But not only this, we got check on once, which was 5 mins after we got our food. Then we had to make it look obvious we were done for someone to ask if we needed to go containers. There was also a party of two that came 2 mins after we got seated and they sat us RIGHT NEXT to us. I feel like they could've spaced us out so we didn't have to hear each other's conversations since the space is large and we were the only two parties inside. At the end of my meal, I went to the restroom to wash my hands and I walked by a sauce bar and (what looks like) a fruit bar. I was curious on who/what it was for so when I paid, I asked the cashier and she said it was for anyone. Like, wow. Would've been nice to know at the beginning of my meal while I waited 15 mins for my food to come out. Again, maybe it was an off day or they're just new. But I find these things very important. read more

We stopped by on a Wednesday night and were welcomed with friendly and attentive service, even though we were just ordering for takeout. We had no problems with customizations, ie. no salt in the garlic noodles, and sauce on the side for the boiled crawfish. Altogether we got lemon pepper chicken wings, garlic noodles without salt, organic salad, and one pound of crawfish with extra corn and lemon pepper sauce on the side. Everything was delish, made with fresh and quality ingredients. The lemon pepper wings were breaded, which I didn't expect, but they were juicy and cooked perfectly, and even better when I tried them with the lemon pepper sauce (which was actually supposed to be for the crawfish). It was straight up butter (with lemon and pepper, of course), and I was loving it! This restaurant is fairly new and seems to be doing things right, a great option in the Milpitas area for cajun seafood boil and more. read more

Parents and I went on the "second" day of the Grand Opening. On first impression, the format of the dining area hasn't changed much from the previous establishment so there's a sense of familiarity. But unlike the forgone Ox Pot, this place doesn't disappoint on quality and taste. We ordered the Combo #2, Cajun Fries, and Garlic Noodles. We also received a free lobster for our purchase total over $100 (pre-tax)!!! Combo #2 (1lb shrimp, 1lb crawfish, whole Dungeness crab): To preface, my parents are quite picky when it comes to seafood and can tell whether it is fresh. Glad to report that every component of the boil did not disappoint. Crab was succulent and meaty whereas the shrimp and crawfish was able to soak up the delicious broth. 4.5/5 Cajun Fries: Pretty average fries to be honest. The seasoning could have been more aggressive but the overall crispiness was perfect. 3/5 Garlic Noodles: WHAT A SURPRISE. Nowadays, we find that other places skimp on the garlic and noodle quantity/quality. But Ocean 9 Crab hit it out the park. I would come back here just to have their noodles (you can add shrimp to it too for a small upcharge too!) 5/5 Lobster: Fresh and tons of the meat! Garlic bread on the side with dipping sauce? Yes please. 4/5 Our server, Emily, was great and attentive. I'll come back again for my birthday and provide updates! read more

I visited shortly after the restaurant first opened, and it seemed like they were still finding their rhythm. Service was a bit on the slower side, but that's understandable given how new they were at the time. We tried the seafood boil, which was absolutely delicious--flavorful and well-executed. I'm looking forward to returning to try the hotpot side next time. Overall, this is a fair first impression, and I'll be sure to update my review after my next visit! read more

Very good food. #2 Combo with 2 Shrimp Head On and 1 lb Snow Crab: Shrimp tasted very fresh and seasoned well. Snow crab was absolutely wonderful, very fresh as there is a tank in the back. Lemon Pepper Wings: Wow! Very juicy and seasoned well. Breading wasn't too thick which left room for the absolutely tender and juice-flowing chicken. Clam Chowder: Flavorbomb in your mouth. Clam is not chewy. Just a great appetizer before the real meal. There was also complementary fruits and sauces. Definitely recommend if you're in the area. read more

I walked by last night and noticed people inside, so I decided to stop in and check if they were open. The cashier greeted me warmly and informed me that they were having a soft opening. I placed a takeout order and got the lobster roll, fried oysters, garlic noodles with shrimp, and Cajun fries. The customer service was excellent--the cashier was very patient as I took my time deciding what to order. As for the food, everything was delicious! The fried oysters were incredibly fresh--A+++. The Cajun fries were perfectly seasoned, and the lobster roll was one of the best I've had in a while. The garlic noodles had just the right amount of flavor. Unfortunately, I was too hungry to take pictures because I dove right in, but I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu! read more

Great service. However the shrimp is not fresh. You can tell they got their seafood from Costco. I would expect better quality and fresh seafoods in a boiling seafood style restaurant. The garlic flavor is better than the mix flavor. The mix flavor is very salty and not tasty. I would not recommend it if you are a diehard seafood lover. If you just want seafood nearby your location, you can have so-so meal there. read more

Arrived here for dinner around 8:20pm. There was no host upon entering. A man eventually walked out to the front but did not acknowledge or greet my husband and I. He rang up a transaction and then proceeded to let us know how long we needed to wait before getting seated. No hello or anything. Awkward. It wasn't a full house but there were a decent amount of tables occupied. I'd say, 70% occupied. There was a party of 4 ahead of us so we waited around 15 minutes before getting seated. Once seated, we weren't offered water. This man did not utter a word. We were sat and ignored for a good 10 minutes. This man whom we eventually assumed is the owner is the HOST and the ONLY SERVER. There were no other front of house worker besides a lady cleaning tables. After some waiting, my husband tried to get his attention but failed. He refused to look our way and acknowledge us once again. I set my timer for 5 minutes because at this point, we were ready to leave. We had no high hopes of getting our order in any time soon. The table to our left was getting impatient as well as they were missing an order but they were acknowledge. This was his chance to turn to his right and say something to us. At least reassure us he'll be with us soon. NOT ONE WORD. He walked away without even looking at us. It was clear to us he did not want us there and just by observing, Ocean 9 is most likely his first business because he does not know how to run a business at all. Hire some servers! Or at most, hire a damn host so you are not running around doing everything yourself. We eventually upped and left to Cajun Crackin where we were seated right away AND offered some water. My husband and I really wanted to give Ocean 9 a chance but DAMN, we didn't even get to order yet and our short experience was terrible. We hope this hasn't and does not happen to anyone else. No one should feel ignored and singled out even if that's not the intention. read more

The crawfish was mushy and tasted old. Their sauce was okay. The restaurant is clean and have friendly staff.

I will start with the positive. The food was very good. Everyone enjoyed what they ate and the flavors were great. Warning that if you are sensitive to spice, even the mild is decently spicy!l but still very good. Now to why I gave 3 stars. Service was pretty slow and we waited a good 20 minutes before someone came to our table. She did apologize for the wait which was appreciated. The worst was the bathrooms. They were RANCID. I'm talking, straight sewage smell that wafted into the main lobby of the restaurant. They have to get that fixed. They are clearly old and weren't updated with the rest of the building. Even leaving, all we could smell was a port-a-potty stench. That alone would make me hesitant to come back. read more

Came on a Friday and it was semi busy. We ordered the combo #2 with a combination mix flavor. Overall was a good meal. The garlic noodles and mussels stood out to me the most. But above all else, our server, Emily was INCREDIBLE! She was so kind, attentive and welcoming! She was also very knowledgeable about the menu and made a point to ensure we made the right decision with our order. Her service alone would be the reason we come back! read more
