I've been wanting to try this spot for a while now and finally decided to stop by on a Friday night. I remember this place used to be to be a hibachi carry out of some sort not too long ago. However I've been seeing their fried rice online and it grabbed my attention because of the veggies and the dark color it had. It reminded me of how the fried rice from the Chinese carry out used to be in the 90's early 2000's. For some reason nowadays when you order fried rice , there tends to be nothing inside of it besides onions and bean sprouts. What happened to the peas and carrots!!!!! I entered the store on a Friday night--which had only 1 customer who was waiting on her order. I walked to the register and was greeted with a smile from a polite young lady. I ordered the fried shrimp with shrimp fried rice, which is actually one of their combos. I believe it was $11.99/$12.99 something like that, but you get 6 shrimp or you can get 12. They have a nice amount of t of seating available if you want to dine in, I believe they have a restroom for customers available as well. The store appeared clean as well as the parking lot. The food came out quickly, cashier showed it to me before bagging ,it which was cool. Everything looked great. The shrimp were jumbo, I highly doubt you need 12 pieces unless you have a large appetite. The shrimp were lightly coated, not panko breaded. Cooked to perfection and perfectly golden brown. The rice was tasty-I did add one packet of soy sauce and that was all I needed. The food stayed hot for a very long time, and my shrimp didn't get soggy before I arrived at my destination. I will return and try something different the next time. Give this spot a try, I think they need a little bit of Yelp help....

Catfish and shrimp fried rice
Deanna C.

I love Chinese, but it just doesn't taste the same anymore. I've found Fried rice to be undercooked and underseasoned. The individuals who answer the phones and take orders are rude, and the overall quality is lacking. I saw this place on TikTok and noticed that it was located in my old neighborhood, so I decided to give it a try. The employees were kind and walked me through the menu, which led me to order catfish and fried shrimp rice. Y'all, Chinese food in the District Heights/Forestville area hasn't tasted this good since the 90's. My combo meal cost around 15 bucks, and it included a yellow drink. I won't call it lemonade, because it was old-school lemon-flavor Kool-Aid. It was sooo good, and if you put it in the freezer and added Henny, it would make a great evening. I will be back!

Fried jumbo shrimp combo with fries and drink

I stopped in for a mid day meal. Mohammed gave friendly customer service. I had the jumbo shrimp combo, with fries & a drink. Everything was really good. I'll be back.

Delicious fried shrimp  and delectable fried rice
Tahja P.

Delicious fried shrimp but they were a bit salty and I believe they used a LOT of flour in the coating. Even still they were EXTREMELY well seasoned! Now...the FRIED RICE, the FRIED RICE, the FRIED RICE! I have lived in the DMV since 1994 (Chicago native) and had not had a GOOD fried rice since I've been here! All fried rice here is LIGHT SKINNED and that ain't lit" for me! In fact, I'd never seen light skinned rice with PEAS AND CARROTS until I came HERE! Their fried rice was the rice color of choice! I don't care for the peas and carrots so I will request they not put in there the next time. All in all the food is yummy and I will continue to order from them!

Hot lemon pepper wings

Having been here since the name and management change. So today I decided to come because I wanted a cheesesteak and fried rice and knew this place can deliver my weird combo selection....lol. I ended up ordering cheesesteak combo with 5 wings and beef fried rice extra 2.00 charge for the beef which was okay. The food was so good the rice is some of the best fried rice in the area. Cheesesteak was also good and the chicken was delicious as well. The restaurant is a Carryout style place with indoor seating if you choose to eat inside. Good food and good customer service.

Grilled Garlic butter shrimp with corn on the cob.

They have this dish that is so good. The Grilled Shrimp and you can get a side with fried rice or corn or fries or cabbage. I love this dish it's seasoned so well. I also can't leave without saying the food is kind of price, but if you're a foodie. Cost is no object. I would recommend this spot to anyone. Now as for customer service, no conversation other than how can we help you with your order. As for Ambiance, that's is definitely on SUB ZERO. A few table and chairs for if you chose to dine in. You'll see most people are on the go. IN AND OUT.

I only get fried shrimp in Maryland from here. The shrimp is LARGER than JUMBO. and the seasoning is amazing. An order of 12 shrimp lasts for 4 meals for me. The customer service is always kind and respectful. Muhammad is no longer there but when he was, he provided outstanding customer service. Now Ahnaf is there and his customer service is superb. Great customer service and delectable food has me a repeat customer.

Shrimp fried rice. They use salad shrimp for the Shrimp Fried Rice
Akande S.

Ordered through DD! Fried rice was good and plentiful. Tastes like that old skool (80s/90s) fried rice! Will definitely get again. I chose shrimp as the protein and was a bit disappointed that they use salad shrimp but it was plentiful and the flavor on point so I can rock with it. Wings were fried hard just like I like them and still crunchy when they arrived but VERY light on seasoning. The wings were also small so they gave me 4 (I ordered 3) to make up for it which I appreciated. If they offered seasoning for the wings (lemon pepper, etc) it would be 5 stars.

Seafood fried rice

The staff and manager are always nice, friendly and respectful. I've frequently visit this location and has always been treated well. The food portion is amazing and delicious for the price you are paying for it, (see pic). The seafood fried rice is my family favorite. It was recommended by my cousin and I have recommended it to everyone that's looking for quality food for a good price.

I have been to "This is Seafood" several times now and it never disappoints. My go-to is the chicken and shrimp combo meal. I've also had the po-boy sandwich, the fried fish, and the house salad. Everything I get from here is on point. I'm actually surprised that I hadn't reviewed this place already! The service is always convenient and efficient. I call ahead and my order is ready for pickup. I consider this a takeout, but they do have seating and a TV if you want to wait for your order or dine in. Every time I've visited, the place has always been clean. Definitely recommend.

I have so many places to review so I'm trying to catch up! I came here in August 2026 which I've…read morebeen wanting to stop by forever since I seem to be in the area all the time. So after leaving The ups store next door I decided to stop in. I walked in was greeted and it's a pretty decent size restaurant. I do like that on the outside they can open up the bar and you can sit. But I opted for sitting inside. The menu has quick a few options and I was there during happy hour which turned out to be good pricing. I was being a big back and ordered the charbroiled oysters that were on the happy hour menu and a nice size ribeye steak, broccolini, and Mac and cheese. And when I tell you everything was cooked to perfection it was so good! As the pictures show it was a large portion and I had a lot of leftovers for my lunch door work and then some. I will definitely come back and sit outside on their deck or bar area as the weather is getting nice.

Aside from spending quality time with family, it was a disappointing dining experience. Maybe an…read moreoff night for the crew? It is a small venue that can host one large party one at a time. I thought folks sitting at the bar had a chill vibe, with the open, outdoor view. All the music played was slow tempo rnb hits - I wish they would have switched it up a little. Maybe some psychedelic soul... I haven't been this disappointed in a dining experience in a long time. My entree order was never entered, leaving me sitting at the table for 40 minutes watching everyone else eat before my food arrived. That is a significant lapse in service coordination, especially for a restaurant where the prices suggest a much higher standard of execution. As for the food, the overall seasoning and flavor balance were inconsistent, with several dishes falling well below expectations. Shrimp Po' Boy: Nice, plump shrimp, nicely fried, but nothing particularly memorable and sauce was ok. Charbroiled Oysters: If you ever been to Acme in New Orleans...you would not. Please watch the small grits of oyster shell! I never had oysters with bits of the shell on top. The oysters were small, and the cheese and toppings completely overpowered them. I wanted to taste the oysters, not have them buried beneath everything piled on top. "Gumbos?": The flavor profile reminded me of a spicy, vegetable-heavy homemade soup base, with little of the depth and richness I would expect from a properly developed roux. It lacked the traditional character and complexity I was looking for. Crab Bisque: One of the better dishes of the evening. It was more enjoyable than several of the other items we tried. Brussels Sprouts: No, skip these! They were absolutely BURNT! The preparation was simply unacceptable. It was returned for fried rice - No....it totally missed the mark on seasoning. Crab Cake: Swimming in butter/oil, which did not compliment. There was a few pieces of lump crab if you were wondering. Calamari: Portion again - too small, fried a bit too crunchy with peculiar burnt fried onion? Another dish that failed to leave a positive impression. The recurring issue was the lack of balance. Across the dishes I sampled, the seasoning was either too heavy or insufficient, and the spice profiles often felt poorly calibrated. Instead of allowing the ingredients to shine, the preparation frequently worked against them. The portion sizes were another major concern. Appetizers especially, felt far too small for their prices, and the overall quality and quantity did not justify the cost of the meal. Honestly, the kitchen needs a serious reassessment of its execution, seasoning, and quality control. Based on what we were served, it was difficult to believe these dishes reflected the intended culinary vision. Table clearing wasn't well executed. After appetizers were cleared, that was it and nothing was cleared while we had dessert. One water carafe for my folks at the end of the table who ordered water and they were the only ones that had glasses for it. Water for the table is a standard courtesy. Unfortunately, this one was memorable for all the wrong ones, with exception to much needed family time.
