This had to be my favourite seafood place! I have never dined in but, I always order and the food is always great for the price. The sauces are so good I wish I could just order a cup of it and drink! They have lots of selections on sides and meal deals during the weekdays so definitely worth trying if you are looking for a more affordable option. Would recommend! Just wish that they were on DoorDash!
The spot was nice and clean, wasn't busy when we went. The food was good definitely very filling. Their house sauce is really good as well portions were shareable we shared between 5 people. Wish they gave bigger size plates to put the food in instead of the small plates. Servers were really nice and don't have to wait too long for the food to come. The robot was so cute when she would go by and does not come in your way if you're walking.
Robot Boil House We tried to find a Cajun restaurant but there was not much else We ordered a combo with dungy crab and 2 pound of crawfish And even adding 2 more pounds to that dish We got the Robot blend medium and some garlic butter non spice But none of the flavors were really nice The seafood was really hard to eat Not sure if it was the flavor or the meat The interior decor and robots were probably the peak Everything else I could not dare to speak Service was ok as we ordered to go If you have a receipt from there you can get a discount on the boba though
We got the family meal for 4 people and it ended up costing around 50-60$ each person. There's a lot of filler food like garlic bread and deep fried apps- tempura shrimp, fries, calamari, fried rice. We got lobster, crab, shrimp and mussels. Also for veg we got corn, broccoli and lotus root,. Felt like there wasn't enough seafood and it was hard to share the lobster- when there's only very small amount of the meat. All in all it was ok, we got mostly the special blend of sauce. I prefer other boil houses. But the service was good and it was very quick.
I love a good seafood boil and this was a great spot to go to as my friends and I celebrated two birthdays! The decor inside is festive, you are served by a robot, and the staff were all very kind and helpful when we had questions about the menu. What we got: Luxury Combo - Dungeness Crab 1.75lb - Shrimp 1lb - Green Shell Mussels 1lb - House Seafood Fried Rice - Shrimp Basket - Cajun Fries - Baked Mussels (upgraded from Deep Fried Cream Cheese) - Sides: Corn, Potato, Broccoli, Okra, Lotus Root, and Sausage (add on) Final Thoughts: Each side come with only 2 pieces so keep that in mind if you have a larger party and everyone wants the same side. I'd recommend the corn which was sweet, but you can do without the broccoli which came out too soft and a bit mushy. You're provided with buckets for shells, bibs, and even tools to help crack shells and remove the meat. Our party of 4 was stuffed by the end and it was such a fun experience! Definitely pricier (came to about $35pp) but I'd come again for a special meal!
This was an amazing experience all around. The Cajun sauce was the best ever and all the food was amazing n very fresh and juicy. We finished 5 huge platters in 20 mins (record speed). The staff are also soooo so sweet and helpful. I lost something there and they had to look through the trash to find it. Can't express how much I appreciated that will come back every time I want seafood boil.
One of my favourite seafood boil places. I came here for my birthday and had no idea what to expect. The Robot blend sauce was AMAZING. I am still dreaming about it to this day. My birthday was in July. I will be coming back. The staff were also super friendly, patient, and helpful since I've never been to a boil. The art on the walls and robots were a nice touch for the vibe too!
Went for the all you can (AYCE) eat lobster and crab special. It's a bit inconvenient as it run only on Thursdays and spots get booked up at an alarming rate but VERY WORTH IT! This might be one of the few all you can eats where you can get lobster and crab. The price tag is expensive but if you have a big appetite, you'll feel you have recouped the cost. The first lobster you get is also a colossal half. It is really a sight to see. All the crabs are really large too. For the most part, all the seafood is cooked well. Fresh and tender. Only got one piece which was slightly a bit over cooked but in general, the majority were consistently delicious. They also offer a wide variety of choices for other side dishes which you'll need to balance out the richness of the lobster and crab. The other dishes range from fries, to wings, to cheese cakes and even other desserts. You also have all you can drink pop as well. The staff are extremely friendly and quite attentive. You also get a pair of gloves and a lobster bib to complete the experience. They also have a gimmicky robot to serve you which is fun if you haven't been to other places like robo sushi but given the food was so delicious, this really seems like an after thought. The two small areas for improvement are the sauce flavours and the seating limit. They offer a wide variety of sauces for the lobster and crab such as Cajun, lemon pepper, garlic butter, and more. You the spice level can even be adjusted. However, most taste fairly similar so they could be a bit more creative. The 1.5 hour seating limit will leave you feeling a bit rushed and wanting more. But given it's AYCE lobster and crab I get the reason. Overall, a really fantastic experience. I would go many times for the ayce lobster and crab package (if my health would allow it). I recommended this to all my friends. I didn't try the regular options but given this experience I'm now inclined to try. Don't let the silly lobster out side of the restaurant fool you, this is a really great place. Quite a hidden gem.
Best seafood boil I've been to downtown. The restaurant itself is so fun with wall murals of sea creatures and the city skyline and larger than life crabs and lobster hanging off the wall. The gimmick is that there is a robot serving you but the staff there support the robot a lot and the staff provide great service. They refilled our water often and were super prompt. The food could not have been better or better priced. We went on a day when they had all you can eat lobster and throughout the year they have other special events as well. Their cocktails were delicious and very affordable. If you like seafood boil this is the place to go!
Definitely put this on your foodie bucket list. The concept is great and will grow, the robot service industry. The personal touch was still there however, just outstanding customer service, very helpful and knowledgeable on the best options. Definitely try the Lobster fried rice, which had chunks of lobster meat which matched very well with the scallions. The seafood party was just delicious, with all the different seafood, Lobster, snow crab. Mussels, clams, and there house sauce. The robot brings out your meal which was a nice touch, but the food will definitely have you coming back. Great Foodie destination when in Toronto
First time having a seafood boil, and I absolutely loved it. They definitely made it memorable. Can't wait to go back and have some more.
Tried seafood boil for the first time here. I thought it was quite tasty, especially the shrimp, which was huge, sweet and juicy. I had it delivered from across town so unfortunately it was a little cold by the time I got it, I imagine it would be even better steaming hot. I like that they serve it with rice and give you the option of a veggie side (love the corn especially). I believe each bowl was $10 , which is incredibly affordable. The sushi was also quite good. Wasn't the best I've had in Toronto but definitely not the worst, and you really can't beat the price. At the time I think it was ~$26 for 40 pieces, which is unreal value! I think now they've raised the price on the platter to $29, but that's still a great deal in my opinion. Overall I give the food at this place 4 stars (pretty good), but the prices are what gets it a 5. The value is amazing especially considering it's seafood. Would recommend to anyone that has a craving but doesn't wanna break the bank!
The service was wonderful and charming. The food was excellent and there were ruddy ROBOTS. Like COME ON.

Robot Boil is a seafood boil place with a combination of traditional and Asian flavours. I've dined here before with my friend and enjoyed it, so I decided to do the same again since I was craving seafood boil this past week. The place is quite small though nicely decorated.They use robots to carry the food around so I found that the service was went quite smoothly. My friend ordered oysters. I'm not a big fan of oysters but the one's here are of good quality. We each ordered a pound of mixed seafood. She ordered the shrimp and the frozen mussels, while I did the shrimp and fresh mussels. Then we had the seafood fried rice. Finally, we shared an order of lobster tail; they gave us two so we had one each. The seafood rice was superb; just the right amount of spice and full of flavour. My mixed seafood was also quite good. I was pleased with the shrimp. The mussels tasted fine although do take note that the fresh mussels tend to be smaller than the frozen ones. I had some mussels that were incredibly small, to the point where it didn't actually feel like I ordered a pound of seafood. I ordered the robot blend for my pound of seafood, which was stellar. Very good Southern boil flavours. I tried the coconut and curry sauce with the lobster tail and it tasted a little underwhelming. Another note: I ordered my seafood with the sauce while my friend ordered the sauce on the side. I would actually recommend ordering it on the side, especially if you have mussels, so you can get a good coating of sauce on the mussels themselves (as opposed to the shells). Overall, it was a good experience. If you're looking for a nice seafood boil place, this is a good place to start. This is close tot he Bloor-Yonge station so it's quite conveniently placed! read more

Came to the Robot boil new Etobicoke location last week, had a reservation for 8pm and wasn't greeted at the door until 8:15. Place was understaffed with only 2 workers and I understand and empathize with that, but to not be acknowledged at all and even be provided with a wait time of when we would be seated given a reservation, was upsetting. We ended up leaving to go to The Crab Boil, and they called us at 8:30 to let us know our table is ready which we kindly declined. read more

we went to robot boil as a party of 6 and it was excellent! i got the snow crab, black mussels and veggie choice potato and corn. definitely recommend the robot blend for the sauce it was perfect. i have never been to a boil they didn't come out in a plastic bag, so that was different, but honestly i really liked how clean it was compared to the bags. read more
tried their spicy salmon & avaocado sushi roll and mango pudding as part of a BOGO free deal on UberEATS! overall, I thought it was pretty average. It was pretty much about what you'd expect. The Sushi was your regular lower end stuff, nothing special. The Mango pudding was also pretty average and wasnt particularly tasty or have particularly good presentation. Price was not exactly cheap either. I did get BOGO free but regular price was $5.50/pudding (bit pricey for what I got) and $8/8pcs (a bit better than most places). Probably wouldn't come back. read more
If you're looking for a place for a solid meal at a reasonable price, this is the place to go. I had the shrimp boil with Robot Boil sauce, medium spice, and the table split fries, and lobster fried rice. Do yourself a favor and get two orders of each - these went fast for a table of 4! read more
My family had a desperate hankering for some sushi, so we decided to try Robot Boil House given the good reviews. We were not disappointed. The sushi was fresh and the delivery was fast. They impressed us with their smorgasbord of flavours. We will be back for another fix! read more

Wow ..my favourite new seafood restaurant! So much fun from the wonderful decor with giant lobsters and crabs on the wall and a huge mural showing sea creatures jumping out of Lake Ontario, to the robot that seats you and another who brings you your food. Great menu! We had a dozen tasty Lucky Lime PEI oysters, plump and sweet and fish tacos and fish and chips. Great presentation and delicious. The staff are attentive and friendly and the whole place is spotless and clean. Super important these days. Prices are very reasonable too. We couldn't stop smiling! read more

This is the BEST seafood boil I've ever tasted in Toronto!!!!! FRESH, Big portions, and great pricing! I admit the name threw me off a little, but I get it now since I realized its supposed to be a Robot Server. But their sauce is heavenly. Robot Blend is the best, it's sweet, salty, spicy, buttery and RICH. The service is great as well, quick, efficient and friendly ! Most recently been getting my shrimp and Lobster fix, the shrimps here aren't mushy like Captains Boil, they are extremely fresh and sweet ! The lobster also its nice they are thoughtful to break the claws for you to eat it more easily. Lastly I love that they use Mini Potatoes for the sides! It just tastes so much sweeter than Russets. They are always consistent and the same with portions, sizes, taste and freshness! So far we have eaten the same items 3x now. Reccomend this amazing place to any seafood lover! The spice is just right too. ! Takeout offers discount for cash payment too. read more

I was walking my dog on Yonge St. when I saw this place was about to open. They were so friendly. Someone came out to say Hi and offered us a menu and a coupon. Came for dinner. Had the mixed seafood plate, shrimp boil, lobster tacos and fries. Delicious. read more
Robot Boil House has such fabulous deals and different combos. The quality of seafood is very high, and the sauce is addicting. I appreciate that it's nowhere as salty as captain's boil, which is my biggest complaint about seafood boil places in North America. All this seafood, including lobster and crab for $90. We added Cajun fries for $6.99 which was oddly expensive considering how cheap everything else is, but that's my only complaint. I appreciated the sturdy packaging. read more

Consistently Good Seafood Boil . I've had the seafood boils here numerous times and so far every visit was seamless. I usually get takeout but this spot is ideal for a low key / casual outing as well. The staff & robots are always friendly. The restaurant is small yet clean and most importantly the food & portion sizes are consistent. The sauces are quite delicious, personally I love the Robot boil blend medium spicy. I want to try the other sauces but I'm scared I won't like them as much and I'll waste an expensive fish meal in that case. I find with other Cajun seafood restaurants you never know what you're going to get in terms of consistency. Ordering by weight means that you're at the mercy of the person doing the weighing and sometimes you end up getting WAY LESS food than you order, but not here at Robot boil. I would love it if they offered headless shrimp (for an up-charge of course ) that would be great. Also beware drivers, there's literally no parking near by . Closest Green P is a about a 4-5 min walk . read more
