    Seafood fried rice
    Wai L.

    I ordered the seafood fried rice from the Captain's Boil through a delivery app. This is not the 1st time I ordered the seafood fried rice and I always enjoyed the dish. But this time the fried rice tasted "off". Not too sure what happened.

    Shrimp and clam with corn

    This is my second captains boil experience and after a disappointing previous one, I was excited to try this place out. We got seated right away and ended up ordering a pound of the crawfish with lemon garlic sauce, pound of shrimp with captain boils sauce and a pound mix and match of the shrimp and clams with the boil sauce. Make sure you look at the signs for market prices to know how much it costs. The boils sauce is definitely the star here and quite addicting! It was salty with the perfect hint of spice to it. The lemon one was too salty so I won't be getting it next time. The crawfish was decent, a little pricey for the amount of meat. However, the shrimp was amazing and definitely worth the money. I would solely just get the shrimp next time. The sides were okay and quite small so definitely something you shouldn't order on its own as it was pricey. Overall a decent experience!

    Lobster with special sauce

    This is my first visit to this seafood restaurant, and i was completely satisfied with the experience. The service was extremely good, welcoming staff and very friendly. The place was very clean and it wasn't as busy though it was a weekend. I have tried the lobster with special sauce, clams with lemon pepper sauce, cajun fries and cajun fried rice, all mild heat. Every item was delicious, perfectly cooked and freshly made. I loved the cajun fries and I believe it s my favorite, we couldn't finish the fried rice with seafood, the next day it was even better. I would recommend you to give this place a try if you are into seafood, I, myself, will be visiting it soon to try other items on the menu.

    We tried the Dungeness crab and lobster both in captain's sauce. Ingredients were sooo fresh but the sauce is slightly too oily and salty for my liking. Service was decent though our waitress could be more attentive. Overall a nice and fun experience. Just remember not to wear white

    I appreciate the fact that they've stayed open throughout the pandemic and has continued to offer fresh seafood. Really recommend the captains boil sauce!!

    First time came,if seafood is your favourites ,this is the one you may like.The service was good and helpful,place is clean and cozy which is what I like,definitely will come again.

    The captains boil sauce with shrimp and corn and a side of Cajun fries. It was delicious!
    Kristen T.

    Such a fun and different way of eating your food! Your given a bib and gloves to eat your meal, which is served inside a bag with the sauce of your choice. If anyone's ever been to The Boiling Crab in Los Angeles it's pretty comparable. If you like spicy I would recommend the 'fire' heat choice. I got medium heat and it definitely had a kick to it but not as much as I would have liked.

Everything went so well together, especially when there's a bite of the sundried tomato! The arancini was yummy but I expected the crust to have a bit more crunch. I tried my bf's pizza and it was ok - nothing to rave about. I also got a mocktail (forgot the name) and it was yummy as well. Overall, 8/10 and definitely would visit again Their house-made chilli oil was so spicy and delicious that I decided to buy a jar for home!

The entire staff is pleasant and genial, and the food is consistently good. The shape of the restaurant can be a little bit awkward. The first time I was here, I sat toward the back of the restaurant, which felt a little bit narrow. The second time, I was near the front, which was much more typical. Both times I've been here, I've been completely full. This place stands out among Italian places in that it serves quality ingredients, but actually gives you enough to be satisfied. Looks like they've added some tasting menus... I'll have to be back to try them!

I was trying to eat a little healthier so I asked the waiter if it was possible to get the chow mein noodles simply boiled instead of also fried - if not that's totally okay I would simply get a different dish. There was a bit of a language barrier but he seemed to understand and said they could do it. The food took a very long time to come, well over half an hour. Unfortunately it seems like my request for the noodles wasn't interpreted correctly, as they came deep fried as normal. I know this is a risk that comes when ordering with a language barrier, but slightly unfortunate nonetheless. The chow mein was definitely heavy on the dark soy sauce and too salty for my preference. I did appreciate how generous they were with the meat and veggies though. My boyfriend got the cashew chicken and he enjoyed his dish. To note, none of the proteins come with rice and you have to order it on the side. Overall this restaurant is just okay, and doesn't really compare to the other great and affordable Chinese options in the city. However, in a pinch it works.

Many people complained about the lack of juice and thick wrappers. So I did not have high expectations. Surprisingly, their XLBs were good. Yes, the amount of soup is small, but it's there enough to taste the deep flavor. Yes, the wrapper was thicker than those popular XLB places, but beautifully pleated and had no leak. Transfer to the container was carefully done, which I appreciated greatly. The meat texture is good, without any stringiness. It was smooth and tender and with a well-rounded flavor. If it had a little more soup, and the skin was a bit thinner, it could participate in the best XLB competition (organized by me lol ) in GTA. Starting to feel winter in the air, I thought eating this XLB may be enjoyable on a cold day :) The restaurant had a high ceiling with stylish decorations - nice!
