    The decor is nice with some exceptions. There are a several things here and there that need fixing, decor wise. When I walked in, I'm not exaggerating here, every table had varying amounts of crumbs having not been wiped down so I had to choose a table with the least amount. To the food. I got the fish, shrimp and chips. The following applies to all three. They had some spices but honestly they were mid at best. The breaded fish had a strange texture, kind of mushy. Fish is usually flakey right? The shrimp and chips/fries were mid as well.

    OK, I have to admit I'm biased to like any place that calls itself "Shark Boy", whether it's a fish and chips place, a spa, hotel, whatever. Just seems playful and fun. But how was the food? Fortunately, it was good! The breading on the fish was a little unconventional compared to a lot of fish and chip places - almost like a corn meal, find breading versus the batter bready type. But I liked it. What I really liked was the fish seemed fresh - light and flaky. It seemed like it was freshly breaded and fried, not frozen. It's just that I've been to some places that service fish where the fish inside is soggy, seems freezer burned, and is just a bear to eat. But this was a pleasure to eat. Flavor was pretty typical, but texture and freshness was excellent. And you could pick two sauces (tartar sauce and hot sauce for me!) which is great because I used both. And the sides I picked were the chips/fries and coleslaw and both were very good too. Lots of fries as you can see. Service was businesslike and efficient and they brought the meal to my table versus just calling my name to get it. I like the small touches and they seem like they care about the customer experience, even if it's a more casual place. Just the hand sanitizer on the table was a thoughtful touch which I appreciated. So very much enjoyed it and happy to recommend it.

    My fish, shrimp, and chips were fresh and tasted good. The portions are massive here and the staff was friendly! I hope more people eat here, I was their only customer tonight.

    Fish Tacos w/ Chips (fries) with Clam Chowder

    This was my first time ever going to this restaurant, and it hit the spot perfectly!! We were craving some thing light and fish is always perfect and anything deep-fried is always amazing, may as well put the two together!! I have a stupid food, allergies, and luckily, for me, the gentleman working behind the counter, Hoodie, went and found their recipe book to find out the exact ingredients of their batter since I'm allergic to monosodium glutamate/MSG. He was such a sweetheart and went through the roller decks of recipes! I was in luck and none of their fish tacos or Clam Chowder had monosodium glutamate, but their signature House sauce was mixed with ranch and another sauce, so I couldn't have that since ranch has monosodium glutamate in it. My foodie friend and I decided to get two different dishes so we could share. I got the fish tacos which were delicious and I love their different assortment of sauces! We also got clam chowder and shrimp with french fries! Goodness everything was so delicious. we were full for the time being, but not overly full!! I really love the playful environment of the atmosphere. There were a bunch of games you could play with your family and I thought that was very inviting for a family like setting. At the front counter they also had little fidget spinners or pop its , You could take free of charge. Lol too funny!! I definitely wanna go back here and try more dishes and sauces!!

    Fish thin compared to breading

    My son really hyped this place up, so I was excited to try it. But unfortunately it was just okay for me. The 2 Hungry meals we ordered were drastically different, one plate was loaded up with fries and giant pieces of fish, and the other had a small handful of mushy fries with overly cooked fish that was so tiny, it was like an afterthought to the coating. They did throw an extra shrimp in the meal, but the grease used to fry it was dirty and the breading was falling off the shrimp. For $27, I just expect better for one plate. The star of the meal was the bang bang sauce. Not sure I'd even revisit this location after such disappointing food at a pretty hefty price tag.

    Pros: - Fish was cooked to perfection. Seasoning was perfect and I love how it wasn't oily. - Shrimp was also cooked perfectly and a good size. - Fries were seasoned well and paired nicely with the fish. - Clam Chowder was loaded and was the perfect consistency. - Self serve kiosk made everything easy to view and order. Cons: N/A

    Stopped by Sharkboy Fish and Chips today to give it a try. The shrimp were good size and cooked well, but didn't have the sweet taste of shrimp. Fish was crispy, a little lacking in flavor, and I think the batter is a cornmeal. 6.8/10. I really enjoyed the fries because they were crispy and flavorful 8/10. The sauces were decent and they have several to choose from.

    This place is soooooo good. Tucked in a little area right off the 880 and First st. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, you feel so welcome. I went Friday night and it was so delicious it's all I could think about at work Saturday so I went again! The food is fresh and so delicious. Popping hot even when I picked up and went home with it. It's a must try!

    Had an amazing experience here last weekend. I've had Shark boy bookmarked for quite some time and I'm really glad I finally got to try this place. The staff was so friendly and informed on their menu. My friend has an MSG allergy and they looked through all the ingredients to make sure she can have each dish/sauce. Hoody was especially nice and hospitable. I love the fish here, it's not battered it's breaded. Light and crispy, not too greasy. The fries are seasoned to perfection and I tried most of their condiments/ specialty sauces and they were all out of this world. For sides I would recommend: fries or their clam chowder which was perfect for this rainy weather. The vibes are more laid back and super family friendly! They have a little play area for the kids and what kid doesn't love a basket of fries ?! Can't wait to make this place part of my weekly rotation.

    Came here since I was craving some fish and chips and seen this place popping up lately. You come in and it's okay looking inside not much wow factor. You order on the Kiosk. Ordered the garlic Parmesan fries, friend shrimp and the fried fish and chips. Food was good but taste got tiring after a while. They have sauces but it was okay as well. They didn't have napkins and when I asked for some the guy said I'll give you this much for now. Wasn't really clean the tables. Their garlic Parmesan fries were mid, it had too much fake garlic sauce on it and just over powering to be honest. Their potato salad tasted like it was from Walmart. Probably won't come again but glad I tried it.

    5/5 crust and seasoning. The quantity is definitely less for the price compared so some places but the food was fire. The shrimp is so crispy you can even eat the tail. I wish they did give more sauce tho. Would I come back, yea. Service is always p good to and never really crowded.

    Jomar A.

    I've been meaning to go to this place for months and I'm sad I didn't go when I first looked it up. The food is absolutely delicious. It is so crispy and so tasty that I'm shocked. Paired with the garlic butter, I can feel my heart telling me to stop but it's just so addicting. The service can be a bit slow because there's a lot of people ordering but you order on an iPad and they start right away. I recommend eating it there to get the maximum freshness and it should be enjoyed right away. Most fried things are best enjoyed sooner than rather later. Would definitely go here again!!

    I came with a group of 5 and we shared a family platter. The platter came with fish, shrimp, and LOTS of fries. I enjoyed the variety of sauces they give you to dip your food. The fish had a good batter and wasent super dry on the inside but I did wish the fish was a little thicker. The fries were perfectly seasoned and fried for a nice crisp outside

    Dessert  was phenomenal,  hit the spot: THANKS

    Do you have fish without hot spices?

    Yes- One can order dishes without spices and sauces are all in the side.

    Is this beer battered?

    Hey Saba, our fish and shrimp are not battered, they are breaded.

    What kind of fish are served?

    Swai fish

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.

    I'd been hearing Korean friends recommend Master Oh's for a while, so after they recently reopened…read morewith an updated menu, I finally decided to check it out. Honestly, it was a pleasant surprise. What makes this place stand out from most Korean restaurants is that you can enjoy so many classic Korean dishes in one meal--soy sauce marinated crab, fresh handmade cold noodles, stews, seafood hot pot, grilled intestines, stone pot bibimbap, and more--without having to visit multiple restaurants. Here are a few signature dishes we tried based on our server's recommendations: Bibim Naengmyeon (Handmade Spicy Cold Noodles) These noodles took a little longer to come out, and our server explained why--they don't start making the noodles until you place your order. The dough is pressed fresh in the kitchen before being served, giving the noodles a wonderfully chewy texture. Served with crushed ice, beef, cucumber, egg, and Korean pear, it was incredibly refreshing on a hot day. It's actually pretty rare to find restaurants in the Bay Area still making cold noodles fresh to order. Soy Sauce Marinated Crab I'd always heard that Korean soy sauce marinated crab is one of the country's most beloved seafood dishes and had seen it countless times in K-dramas, so I was excited to finally try it. The crab was well-marinated, with sweet, tender meat that was full of flavor, and even included quail eggs. If you love seafood, this is definitely worth ordering. Stone Bowl Bibimbap The stone bowl arrived still sizzling at the table. Mixed with beef, spinach, carrots, bean sprouts, fernbrake, and a sunny-side-up egg, every bite was delicious. My favorite part was the crispy golden rice that slowly formed at the bottom of the bowl. Gal Nak (Spicy Braised Beef Short Ribs with Octopus) (Mild Spice) This was perfect for sharing. The pot was filled with tender braised beef short ribs, octopus, tofu, rice cakes, enoki mushrooms, and vegetables. As everything simmered together, the rich broth soaked into every ingredient, making each bite even more flavorful. Every table receives a generous selection of Korean side dishes, including kimchi, japchae, fish cake, cucumber, pickled radish, seaweed, and more. Our server even came by to ask if we wanted free refills before we had to ask, which made the whole dining experience feel very welcoming. Besides the food, I also loved the atmosphere. Right at the entrance is a row of traditional Korean fermentation jars, and the restaurant is decorated with Korean-style ornaments throughout the space. The owner also stopped by to chat with guests and mentioned that he personally shops for fresh ingredients every morning to keep the food consistent in quality. The restaurant is conveniently located next to a Korean supermarket and has its own parking lot with plenty of parking spaces.

I didn't know that you could call for a reservation, or get on their waitlist with Yelp. I was going to do my order to go, when I was asked if I wouldn't mind sitting at the bar. Not at all. I was seated right away, and I was helped by Allison, who was also tending bar. She was a very nice lady, and she took very good care of me. The restaurant has. A nautical theme to it. I decided to go with the Cajun chowder, and the softshell crab po' boy. . My food comes quickly, and the order was huge! It was a very good, rich chowder, with just a tiny bit of a "zip" from the Cajun spices. They definitely gave it a good flavor. There were lots of goodies inside. The one thing about the chowder, was they didn't take out the bay leaves, and I did get a couple.. I just put them off to the side. I'm not going to take off a star, because the chowder was so good. Hey, It happens.... The po' boy was huge! The softshell crab was not over breaded. I could taste the crab with no problem, and it was a little bit sweet, a little bit savory, with that wonderful "crabby" flavor. The roll was a soft roll, , but it still held up to the sandwich extremely well The lettuce, and tomato were crisp and fresh . The Cajun fries, had a little bit of a zip to them, but not too much. they came with ketchup, and their house Cajun sauce. I didn't even touch the ketchup. The sandwich already had some Cajun sauce on it, I put a little bit more. The rest, I used to dip the fries. I only made it halfway through the sandwich, and the fries. The rest came back to my room with me for another great meal. I also got another little "tub" of that sauce to take with me. The entire time, Alison was so personable, , we chatted a little bit about this and that... She is definitely an asset to that restaurant. (Tell her boss to give her a raise...:). The price was extremely reasonable for such a wonderful meal, and they also have a military/veterans discount this was such a great meal, I would gladly come back here again. Thank you so very much

We arrived on a Saturday evening for dinner. The restaurant is located in a nice newer plaza area in Cupertino off the Vallco Parkway close to where Vallco Shopping Mall once stood. Parking is available in the parking garage in the plaza. The restaurant is medium size but maximizes the space efficiently with plenty of booths and tables for dine in. The modern decor is nice and sleek. Whereas the vibe is bustling and welcoming. We ordered the combo of 2 pounds of shrimp with heads on, garlic noodles, and 2 steamed rice. The seafood boil came out in a large silver bowl instead of the usual large clear bag. I found this to be much better in presentation. Everything was so delicious. The captain Loui sauce was so flavorful and sweet. The shrimp were plump and juicy. Garlic noodles were tasty. A couple of saucy yummy corn and potato were found in the bowl which was a good surprise. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Cap't Loui. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The combo options were a great deal. Free Ice cream popsicles for dessert were a nice surprise at the end. We will definitely be back as their seafood boil is one of the better options in the South Bay.

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.
