    Lunchtime!
    Bengie M.

    Great service by the woman (who appeared to be one of the owners) and the food seemed to be being cooked by the other owner who is her husband. We based this assumption of who is who on their "story" on the menu. So, the woman was efficiently and very friendly in caring for each and every table on our Sunday lunch visit. We came in hungry and we're promptly greeted and seated. The server brought us a little bowl of wontons and a sauce for dipping while we looked over the menu. The wontons were great as we came in hungry and ready to eat! We started with a Summer Roll that was stuffed with veggies and shrimp and served with a peanut sauce. For our entrees were ordered Pad Thai, Panang Chicken and Bibimbop. Everything came out piping hot. The menu is broken down into Thai, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Curry, Hibachi... Ordinarily that would be a bit extensive for a menu but they keep the selections in each category smaller so that helps to make the choices easier and preparation and serving more efficient. Overall we were pleased with the food and service.

    Hot Pot Chicken with Shiitake Mushroom

    We enjoyed great authentic Chinese food today and are definitely going back soon to try other Asian cuisines! We really liked the Peking Duck and the Hot Pot with chicken, tofu & shiitake mushrooms. Our server, Alice, was delightful. Parking was easy. Overall, we highly recommend it!

    The atmosphere was pleasant. The server was very nice, the food came fast. I had a soup bowl with dumplings, vegetables, chicken and shrimp that I enjoyed.

    Lo Mein Side Order

    Honestly this is some of the best Chinese food I've had in a while!! Everything was so fresh! Service was welcoming, helpful, and prompt. The tofu was fried perfectly, loved all the veggies in the side portion of the lo mein, and the spring rolls were delicious! I will definitely be back the next time I am in Daytona!

    Hot Pot Hong Shao Pork Belly
    Lisa M.

    I didn't think I would find authentic Chinese dishes outside of Orlando but here we are! Because their menu spans all the most common Asian cuisines - Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai and Japanese - we decided to assess from a few angles. We started with Thailand and a bowl of Tom kha (coconut lemongrass soup) which while the broth was a tad sweet for me and I was missing the lemongrass and lime leaf, they did excellent with the seafood, adding it just at the end so it was still tender. The chicken satay were perfectly cooked with crispy edges and moist inside, only critique was they put the delicious peanut sauce on top rather than allowing us to dip as we want. My father tried the sizzling plate with pork intestines and while he usually prefers them fried and crispy these were pillowy soft and tender with an addictive spicy sauce. I opted for the hot pot pork belly which came in big meaty chunks with lightly steamed bok choy that retained its crunch and simmered shiitake, bamboo shoots and whole water chestnuts in a sort of five spice sauce. Delicious and comforting. Decor is a bit strange, abstract pictures on the walls, a tin siding bar area that looks more at home in a lakeside backyard than a restaurant, but it was comfortable. Service was great considering I only ever saw one guy doing the whole floor (there was only one party when we got there because it was quite early). Definitely want to come back for other cuisines!

    What a great find! We visited Macker Seafood on the 4th of July and had a wonderful experience…read more Everything tasted incredibly fresh. The clam chowder was rich, hearty, and loaded with clams and other delicious ingredients. We also took advantage of their happy hour special with $1 raw oysters, which were fresh and delicious. The fried fish and fried shrimp specials were both excellent--lightly battered, perfectly cooked, plump, and juicy. We paired everything with a couple of beers and sweet tea, and it made for a fantastic meal. The service was outstanding. Lauren, our server, was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Brian and Mama were also so welcoming and accommodating, making us feel right at home. We really enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere, the clean restaurant (including the spotless restroom), and the background music, which was at just the right volume. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend Macker Seafood if you're looking for fresh seafood, great service, and a relaxed dining experience!

What…read morewe had was very good and service was fine ut a bit quirky; the waitress was very chatty and seemed a bit spaced out at times (when we went in, 3 tables were seated, 3 or 4 empty and nothing on them, but she said it would be a while before they'd be wiped clean). We had chowder, raw oysters, lightly blackened mahi-mahi and peel/eat shrimp. No complaints with any. Peel/eat shrimp came with potatoes and corn, too-- nice surprise. Mahi-mahi came with tasty fries. Just a simple little place with basic menu; I guess I was hoping for a bit more variety and different dishes, this being the 3rd day of seafood fest! No complaints at all, but there are other places in the area with very good seafood, full bar, seating on the water, etc. (I thought this place could probably charge much more, being just as it is, if it were anywhere near the actual beach or waterway).

The Pink Flamingo was delicious. The biggest surprise for us was the cinnamon roll kitchen where bakers are making fresh cinnamon rolls in front of you and you can eat as many as you like! The beauty of this restaurant is that the "fish camp" fixins' are on an all-you-can-eat buffet. But your entree is made to order, fresh for you! Best of both worlds! We had 8 in our party and were delighted to know that it takes 12 for the gratuity to be automatic. That was not an issue, though. Our first server "cousin Richard" was excellent, but then he got pulled away and "cousin Bailey" took care of us. Both were delightfully friendly and very attentive. In our group we had chicken tenders, which I sampled and were some of the best I've ever had. We had shark and alligator appetizers. They were both awesome. We had sautéed shrimp and sautéed scallops. Both were swimming in a delicious buttery garlic sauce and cooked to perfection. One had meatloaf and said it was great! One had salmon. And a couple of people had the crab cakes which they also said were delicious. The sides were also good, and the "fish camp" sides were awesome. I want to especially comment on the cheese grits. As a G.R.I.T.S. (Girl raised in the south) and a devout grits snob, I give my wholehearted double thumbs-up on the grits. I thought my grandson was going to make himself sick eating so much! Final word, the cinnamon rolls were AMAZING!! Warm out of the oven and covered with sugary sauce.
