Could Pier 88 be my new favorite local spot for seafood boil???…read more Yes... yes it is! We ordered three pounds of head-on shrimp. Spice level was medium and went with the 88 Special seasoning (a combination of cajun, garlic butter, and lemon pepper) - AMAZING flavor!! Perhaps my favorite aspect was that their seasonings were not overly salty - I feel that most other seafood boil restaurants just include way too much salt in their seasonings... but at Pier 88, you can really indulge without feeling like you're going to end up with high blood pressure! Extras included corn, sausage, and potatoes... and those were all delicious as well! I couldn't have been happier with this meal... so I will definitely return again soon! Being celiac, I did not have to worry about gluten being in anything we ordered! Overall rating: *****FIVE STARS***** Gluten-free rating: *****FIVE STARS*****

My boyfriend was visiting me for Thanksgiving, so we decided to have a date night out. He knows I…read morelove seafood since I've recently added some meat back in to my diet. This place looked like it did a good seafood boil and was located near where our hotel was. Upon entering we were greeted and sat right away. He ordered a shrimp basket while I ordered my usual snow crab. Heads up, all the supplies will be brought in the bottom of the discard bucket like gloves, lemons, and crab crackers. I wasn't aware of this, and placed all the discarded items on top of it while eating bareheaded as I didn't see supplies, and no one was around to ask. Usually places will bring on the side, and I wish I was told that in advance when it was brought to the table. It made for quite the mess, but if we return I'll know for next time. Once our server returned to check in after 10+ minutes that's when we were advised, and I adjusted though I had put my boil bag in there so most had been soiled. As for the food, he liked his shrimp while I thought the crab was okay in flavor/spice. It didn't really standout out like other places I've been to recently, but overall I would return if I was in the area.

This is the original location that haas been there for years, but they've expanded to a few other locations. This location is small but it's cute and the staff is really friendly. You can order online for their regular menu but they had some specials this weekend (sign up for the emails because you can see the specials at leach location and you get a code for a free cookie for your birthday) so we called in. Food was ready in 15 minutes. We got the lobster roll which is Connecticut style-my preference-with lots of butter! They had a fish and chips special so we got that too. And a pb&j cookie for my birthday! My husband very recently broke his leg so picking up Chulas with some great lobster was a nice treat! It's not inexpensive but you get what you pay for. Very fresh, high quality seafood. They have great poke and a great fish market if you want to pick up raw seafood to cook at home. Definitely a little gem in SoSco.

MONGER AMONG US It's…read moregreat to have a fishmonger in the Valley that sources seafood from boat to table. Being the desert, the quality of Seafood is important, since we are nowhere near seawater and the reputable Chula Seafood is here to serve us, desert dwellers, well. TUNA MELT- it's refreshing to have a tuna sandwich that is not canned tuna. There is a chimichiri sauce that you can get to drizzle on it that really gives a depth of flavor. The bread was a nice sourdough that was not just a cheap white bread and did not get soggy. However, with my sandwich, the bread was burnt so that bitterness ruined the flavor of the delicate fish. My pictures shows a few burnt spots, but on the bottom side was way more burnt and it was like they put the most burnt side on the bottom to hide it and hope I didn't notice. I did not appreciate this. CLAM CHOWDER- creamy and more on the fluid consistency, being made with fresh clams makes the difference. Not the best chowder i've had, but was pretty decent. The fish variety can vary with seasons, but it is nice to get different choices throughout the year. There are limited offerings here compared to the bigger location across town, as far as menu and fish selection. But for a small store it is a good place to get some quality seafood to take home or sit and eat. Check out the great happy hour deals

I have been shopping here once a month in the last 9 years and this supermarket has everything that…read morewe need. I noticed that they have been rearranging items to different aisles which make the costumers more challenging to find any items. Sometimes I walk around and around to find the items that I need and still can't find it. I like the way it was to itemized the food from each country per aisle instead of grouping the similar items from different countries in the same shelves. Customer service is average like other supermarkets in the country. It's getting harder and harder to find employees to help in the stores because you don't see them around. Shopping here on weekdays in the morning is pleasant because during the day or weekend this store is getting very crowded. Overall this is the only Asian supermarket that is more convenient for us to shop and dines. Thank you

Today we shopped for kbbq items, some premium beef, briskets, pork belly, veggies for soy bean paste stew Korean style, kimchi, sauces, wooden chopsticks, Korean beers, soju, and fruits. H Mart also has a small food court where you can try various Korean food and desserts. We decided to stop by for some jjajangmyun, Korean style black bean noodles, and shaved ice with mango to share. If you have never been to H Mart before, think of it as groceries store or supermarket for Korean people. You can find something that you would like to try, so if you have never been, please make time to go and check it out. This supermarket offers plenty of parking in the plaza.

SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS…read more King's Fish House 35 S McClintock Drive Tempe, 85281 Good places to have a fish dinner are getting hard to find. We decided to give this one a try. Companion and I arrived at 5:45 and were seated promptly. Our server Nikki brought menus and took our drink orders. We started off with Calamari. It was perfectly cooked and came with 2 sauces that I have never had served with it before. One was MaPloi, and the other was an aioli that was nicely spicey. The portion was large and unfortunately, we couldn't finish it. Companion ordered Fish & Chips. A nice sized portion of cod, perfectly fried. Unfortunately, the chips were not fried the way companion asked for them and most of them were left on the plate. For myself, I ordered the Scallop & Shrimp Combo which came with nicely prepared brussel sprouts which were grilled and then had balsamic vinegar over them. I also ordered the char broiled zucchini, which I did not care for and left most of it on my plate. On to desserts! Desserts are prepared in house and not from the outside. Companion ordered Bread Pudding. Sliced from a loaf and served with a Jack Daniels Whiskey sauce and a ball of vanilla ice cream. Companion was so full that it was not finished but not before declaring it to be delicious. I ordered the Butter Cake. A delicious cupcake sized portion tasting deeply of butter, served with whipped cream, berries, and topped with vanilla ice cream. Once again, the portion was so big that I could only eat half of it. As one might expect in a restaurant of this caliber, it was squeaky clean. Service was efficient and almost all of the food was prepared as ordered. 5 stars

Finally!!! Asian grocery just around the corner from us! Most Asian stores are usually a drive away…read more(Chandler) so to see one not too far from Phoenix makes my heart happy. Also... this place is huge and caters to quite a bit of international cuisine! Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Indian, European, Mediterranean ingredients (I can go on..), this place will MOST likely have it. Their inventory is huge in terms of hard-to-find ingredients and unique snacks! Some of the grocery may be a little overpriced but they're always stocked up with goods that aren't easy to find. This would have been a 5-star review if their meat/seafood options were better but can only imagine this place growing bigger (hopefully!). It would have been amazing if this place had a butcher area to get thin-cut meats/higher quality meats.. but that would have just been the cherry on top! Highly recommend this place if you're looking for unique ingredients and goods!

Today I went with a blueberry lavender and it is so delicious and such a pretty color. I also love how great of a deal it is for a 32 ounce large tea. The staff was also very friendly, and they were also working very hard to help every customer who was trying to get a bakery item or drink. I also love the outside patio area with a very pretty fountain and seating area. I will definitely be back for more tea in the future.
