I was in the area and craving fried oysters, so I decided to stop by. Originally, I was only…read moreplanning to order the fried oysters with fried shrimp and fries. I had tried a seafood boil from here a while back, and the sauce wasn't as good as what I've had from a local competitor. However, my boyfriend insisted that we give it another try, so we ended up ordering the Kickin Combo #1, along with a dozen raw oysters and an order of fried oysters and fries. The raw oysters came out first. I didn't want any, so they were for my boyfriend. Immediately after trying the first one, he wasn't happy with it. He said it tasted fishy but decided to give another one a try, thinking maybe the first was just a bad one. Unfortunately, the second wasn't any better, so he sent them back. Next came the fried food, which is never a miss. I absolutely love the fried oysters here. Then the seafood boil arrived, and at first glance, it looked promising. The seafood appeared large and fresh. I grabbed a shrimp first, sucked the head, and immediately noticed a strong fishy taste. I then dipped the shrimp into the sauce, but the sauce was watery and lacked flavor. I tried a few of the other items in the boil, including a mussel, but the texture was extremely chewy. Between my boyfriend and me, we ate a total of about ten or less things from the boil before deciding we were done. Unfortunately, it was not good whatsoever, and I was extremely disappointed. I asked if there was anything that could be done, and the manager offered to reheat it. I explained that the temperature wasn't the issue but the fishy taste and the texture of the seafood. He then said there wasn't anything else he could do besides take 20% off the bill. While I appreciated the discount, it was still disappointing given how much of the meal we were unable to eat. The service itself was good, and the ambiance was chill, especially since we went during dinner. Unfortunately, though, the food quality of the seafood boil and raw oysters overshadowed the positives for me. All in all, I won't be returning.

This is a neighborhood seafood gem! (Though I travel 25 minutes for this treat…read more At Kickin' Cean you will find a variety of fresh seafood (mostly shellfish) offered in a variety of user defined flavors and styles. From king crab to fried jumbo shrimp, this food won't disappoint. Their house seasoning for fries and other fried foods is amazing. Both sweet and sassy, but very addictive. The homemade cocktail sauce seems to employ the same flavors as part of their mix. Yum! Preeling, cracking, and dipping makes for a messy meal so dress accordingly. The tables have fresh paper on top, ready for you to do your worst. Bibs and tools, too! Service here is very attentive and friendly. The dinning room is casual and spacious. This is a local gem open for lunch and dinner! Fresh seafood and lots of bold flavors await!

As soon as you're greeted by the hostess and walked to your table, the first thing you'll notice is…read morehow amazing the interior design is. It's modern, chic, and stylish; you almost feel like you've stepped into a completely different part of Duluth. I think it's a great date spot because it's such a cute upscale atmosphere paired with amazing food. We ordered the mala pot with beef only (no shrimp, with extra beef), special lamb skewers, special beef skewers, and a seafood boil with shrimp, clams, mussels, octopus, corn, and lotus root slices. Everything was amazing, but let's focus on the lamb skewers for a second. I have never liked lamb, and this was the first time I've ever genuinely enjoyed the flavor of lamb without that strong gaminess. The texture was also amazing. You can already tell the beef skewers are going to be good, but somehow I actually liked the lamb more than the beef... which I never thought I would say! This was my first time here btw, so the menu and ordering process felt a little overwhelming. BUT the waiters were really nice, patient, and happy to explain things, which made the experience much easier for a first-timer.

I first came here with some friends not long after they originally opened, and I still remember…read morereally enjoying their Stir-Fried Chicken Rack, Guo Bao Rou, and BBQ Skewers. It had been quite a while since my friends and I got together, so I didn't even realize they had moved a little farther down next to Chubby Castle! The new location feels much more spacious than before, and it was pretty busy and lively when we came in. This time, one of my friends ordered the Crispy Fried Pork. As someone from Fujian, I usually prefer sweeter flavors like Guo Bao Rou, but this savory version was actually really good too. The second dish was Cumin Beef, and it smelled amazing with the onions and cilantro. I ordered the Jianghu Crispy Pork, which was crispy without being overly greasy. The dried chili seasoning gave it a nice kick and made it especially good with rice. We finished with some Red Willow Beef Skewers and Crispy Chicken Cartilage. Everything was flavorful, satisfying, and perfect for sharing. More than anything, it was just nice to sit down with old friends again--eating, laughing, and catching up on what's been going on in everyone's lives. As we get older, you really start to realize that every chance to get together feels a little more precious. Great food, good memories, and a very enjoyable return after all these years.
