Food was phenomenal. My husband got the boil and it was seasoned beautifully. Came with about 15 craw dads and a bunch of shrimp and potato. I got the shrimp and chips and calamari to share. Calamari was over cooked but still good. The shrimp was done perfectly. Their aioli sauce is AMAZING. Will definitely be back.

The food is delicious, fresh and fast. The atmosphere is relaxed. Big t.v's surround the restaurant. There is a small bar. The best part is, you can also order food from their other restaurant next door. Pineapple Village.

Let me tell you Jellyfish Seafood Bar was absolutely delicious. While we were traveling we was looking for somewhere good and not usual to eat. When we walked in , IT SMELLED SO GOOD. As we are being walked to our table I can't help but glance at the plates and dishes we walked by, they LOOKED delicious and beautiful. THE FOOD WAS AWESOMELY GOOD. The portions were family size. This will be a must stop when going through Gilroy, because we couldn't try everything lol. So GOOD.

We ordered grilled oysters and buda fries. The food is good but the service is poor. It takes for ever foe someone to take the order. We asked for the check when we got the food. It took them a while to do that.

This has been in the past one of my favorite restaurants until recently. I ordered shrimp and scallops to eventually be told they are out of scallops (no big deal some times this happens). However on one of the TV's they were playing walking with beasts season 1. It showed the humanoid/chimpanzee tearing out the guts of a dead zebra and it was graphic and not something I wanna seen when eating. My waitress told the manager Pablo and they just all lookedover at me and smiled. Not even bothering to change the chanel.

I’m so glad I overlooked the mix batch of reviews and decided to try this place.

My mom and I were at the Outlets and she was hungry so I went on Yelp to search up food places nearby. After looking at a few food places we decided to head to Jellyfish Seafood Bar for an early dinner. A big factor why I chose Jellyfish was because I really wanted seafood boil and they had seafood boil here.

I really enjoy the concept of this restaurant..seafood boil/thai food. YES YES AND YES!!! Whoever came up with this fusion..10/10 idea!!! If you want Thai food you get Thai food..if you want seafood boil you get seafood boil. Or you can get both!!! My mom and I decided to get both after looking at the menu. We got grilled oysters, garlic noodles, firecracker fried rice, and a mix of the shrimp/mussel seafood boil with jellyfish smack sauce (mix of all the sauces) hot.

Everything was really good but our favorite dishes were the firecracker fried rice and the seafood boil!!! The jellyfish smack sauce was seasoned so well and it was a good level of hot..hot but enjoyable. I didn’t think it was that spicy but my mom said it was spicy but good spicy. My mom kept raving about how good the jellyfish smack sauce was while we were eating..she kept saying wow this is so good. I agree with her..the sauce is amazing and when you put it on some white rice it tastes soooo good. I’m going to try to explain this..sauces at places like Boiling Crab/ Kickin Crab..etc..like seafood boil in San Jose are Vietnamese owned..therefore their sauces tends to taste like Vietnamese/Cajun flavors. For some reason even though this is a Thai/cajun restaurant the seafood boil didn’t have the Asian taste to it..but more so American Louisiana taste..not sure if that’s what they’re going for..but regardless IT WAS SO SO SO SO SO GOOD!!! As someone who is Vietnamese and loves seafood boil I actually prefer this taste over the Asian one..both are good but if I to choose I would choose the seafood boil sauce from here.

Also you need to get the firecracker fried rice!!! I think it’s a must if you decide to come here. The way they seasoned the rice was delicious. Spice with a hint of basil. Perfection!!!

I’m bummed out this restaurant is all the way in Gilroy. This is the first time I’ve been to Gilroy in possibly over 10 years. I might just have to come to the Outlets more often so I can come have lunch or dinner here again.

If you are in the area give this restaurant a try. Ignore the bad reviews come by and try the food for yourself.

Shout out to our wonderful server. I didn’t get his name..but he was the taller guy and he was great. He kept checking in us..but of course we were doing great every time he checked because the food was so good.

Great food..great service!!! Love it here!!!

This place is a 2 for 1 special. Jellyfish Seafood Bar and Pineapple Village is connected. We were able to order off both menus. I ordered the Singapore Mei Fun w/Prawns and the Hubby ordered the Honey Walnut Prawns with a side plate of Steamed Vegetables. The prawns were big. The breading on the Honey Walnut Prawns was perfect. There was more meat than breading. The food was good and the server was nice. There was also a full bar. The Jellyfish Seafood side had multiple televisions with different shows on each one. One of the televisions was showing Bugs Bunny. The restaurant is kid friendly. I will definitely come back.
