I've been living in Newbold/Point Breeze for 7 months now. I've passed by 16th Street Seafood and…read morehad been curious about it. While I'm not a huge seafood fan, I do love fish - fresh, fried, baked, raw. Yummy! Anyways, I was not in the mood to make lunch one day and this place immediately came to mind. So I sauntered down to peruse the menu. In addition to big seafood meals and platters - shrimp, scallops, snow crab, and various fishes - they also have sandwiches and hoagies. As the name implies, the majority of the menu is seafood or fish, but they also have cheesesteaks and chicken options. I really wanted fried fish, though! So I ordered the fried flounder hoagie w/ tartar, lettuce, tomato, and raw onion. The verdict? Outstanding. First of all the hoagie is HUGE! Easily a foot-long. The flounder is perfectly fried on the outside, juicy on the inside. According to their menu they also have tilapia and whiting hoagies as well fish cake and crab cake on round rolls. Color me impressed! Oh, but the best part... it was only $5! Screw Subway, this is the $5 foot long you want! Especially if you're a fish sandwich/hoagie fan. Do yourself a favor and check this place out! (Note: it's take out only) Website is "coming soon", so do a search on Google maps (16th & Tasker) and you'll see where they are located.

The boil had no flavor tastes like water with the everything seasoning. I actually was disgusted with how bad it was typically corn is my favorite and they found a way to F that up. The broccoli was damn near raw. The mussels were just okay. Crab was pitiful and the shrimp was overcooked. Again no flavor. Even the butter didn't taste right. I wouldn't eat here for FREE. Never ever again.

They were either understaffed or something. One of the staff we inquired how much longer our food will take to come out looked apologetic. When our food came out another staff gave us drink vouchers as an expression of apology. The food was good, a bit greasy to my liking, but they don't skimp. I would have loved to try their dessert, but I was so full. I think I really enjoyed their drinks. I tried their ube latte. I would love to try their Pandan latte next time. When you are finished you have to take everything over to the dish bin and clean up.

Plus, as I've noted in other reviews, I can't really justify the pricing when compared to the crab leg haul I can get at the local Acme. I guess it's like drinking out....you know that one glass could get you an entire bottle at the liquor store. All that aside, I was finally willing to give it a go just for the sake of having tried it. This place is down the street from The Met and my Mom and I came after after seeing a show. I could not understand why it was empty. Friday night, packed show just let out and Crab Du Jour was dead. Huge space and only one table was dining. This made me rethink having the boil. Mom and I both decided to play it safe and got fried flounder baskets, fried shrimp and cheesesteak egg rolls. The food came out lightning fast. If we ordered the shrimp at 6:05 they landed on the table at 6:10 no lie. And everything was piping hot. Too hot to handle. I don't know if that's a bad thing but when you're really hungry well. All the breading fell off the shrimp, shame, but the shrimp were clean. The egg rolls tasted like something other than steak. I can't place it. The flounder was the favorite. I would give them another try though. It was early in the evening and while their musical selection was boring me to tears, The Righteous Brothers Unchained Melody anyone, the lady server did change it when I made a sleeping joke.

Businesses should not limit promotions based on language or cultural backgrounds. People from different cultures are able to enjoy other cuisines. The Chinese-speaking menu has way better options and quality than the English one, which is very disappointing. I advise everyone to not dine here. This was my biggest concern with this restaurant. There was a menu on the back of the happy hour card that was written only in Chinese. I asked the waitress about it and questioned why there wasn't an English version available. Her first response was that it was "for the Chinese elders", which is not listed anywhere on the menu by the way. After returning to the table, she added that many people "don't eat pork or like spicy food." I explained that spicy food and pork are enjoyed across many cultures, including African cuisines, so that reasoning didn't make sense to me. Her final explanation was that they simply hadn't printed an English version yet. The interaction felt dismissive and inconsistent, which left a bad impression. Beyond that, the overall service was poor. The atmosphere did not feel welcoming, there were no check-ins during the meal, and food was dropped off without any follow-up or engagement from the staff. If you do not speak Chinese, you are able to use Chatgpt for translation. Philly is a diverse city and does not need any business that is unable to cater to all customers fairly. Lastly- the food is very underwhelming. The blueberry tao chicken and udon noodles were overcooked. The fried rice was salty. The string beans and wontons were good.

Enough to get to your order, but not a person who easily respond to questions about the menu or possible suggestions. But I got through it. Regarding ambience, this place has the right idea but a long way to go. When you enter, the music is extremely loud as if you were in a nightclub very difficult to place your order without the person getting in your face, which is slightly uncomfortable. The vibe is basement or cellar dark, heavy not a well lit area. That's OK for the evening, but not necessarily the daytime. However, what it does give off an appearance of being dirty because of the darkness and the chairs. They have beautiful high back fabric chairs with short round tables that will allow you to eat, hang out with your friends/family and chat. It is BYOB. The chairs can use a good steam cleaning. The chairs and the entrance are high top bar style tables for two possibly three. The prices on the online menu are different than the menus in the store. There is also a surcharge when you're using your credit card and $15 cork fee BYOB. You get a decent amount of food for the price however I found it overly seasoned or salty.

I'll definitely be back for the chicken cheesesteak egg rolls, wings, and strawberry lemonade!
