Matt & the team at Paracel Seafood went above and beyond to ensure my celebration was everything I hoped it would be. From the tasting, decor, food to music, everything exceeded my expectations. I received the highest level of feedback from my guests regarding the food (lobster noodles and crab soup was delicious) and the drinks (specialty cocktails). Matt's incredible MC and DJ's skills also did not go unnoticed. Several guests noted his positive energy and warm personality really added to the event. I can't imagine him not being part of our event. I would look no further and book your next event at Paracel Seafood. Thank you again so much for everything!

Awesome venue for events with amazing food! Attended a birthday party here and the whole event was top notch. The food was super tasty and the drinks were really good as well. The owners and staff were friendly the whole night and went above and beyond to make the night special for everyone. Would highly recommend!

We had our new year's Eve wedding here and loved it. We had about 125 guests so the venue was perfect. Spacious enough for our guests but not overwhelmingly grand that our hermit crabs felt lost in space. The foods were delicious and the drinks were strong. Our guests loved it and we all love the taro dessert that Mathew's mom made. Mathew was our dj, MC and light/tech guy- and omg, he was such an MC and DJ. Great music selections-even had Cambodian music for our parents' grand entrance and some party music. As an MC, Matt was mc'ing it. Totally did not know what to expect but the bar is set high now. We LOVE that he was dressed in our colors and his staff also respected our request of no black top/jacket/shirt. He was easy to reach and very friendly to work with- answered all our questions and provided some good suggestions too. The parents were also very nice. It was a pleasure working with them. Thank you for everything :)

I recently went to an event here and I have to say the food was fantastic. From the outside you can't really tell but the inside is super cute and is a great event space! The staff was really great and attentive as well!

We celebrated my daughters 30th birthday at Paracel . Planning the event was easy and they were very accommodating to our request. Many guest commented about how fabulous the food was . Everybody raved about our D.J / M.C Matthew. You know the D J is really great when nobody wants to leave the party .

Great atmosphere and the musician was wonderful. We had the 8-course meal and everything was yummy. Shoutout to the workers that made sure everything went smoothly for the night.

Immaculate vibes, amazing food (don't even get me started on the lobster noodles) and an unforgettable experience. Matt is an amazing host! Whether it's 20 people or 20,000, he is diligent, attentive and, most importantly, fun! Cannot recommend Paracel enough for your next event!

Food - 1 star Value - 2 stars Ambiance - 2 stars Service - 3 stars Parking - 3 stars I would not recommend Paracel but if you ultimately choose this venue then at the very least ask to taste the food. In my opinion, the food was 1 star with many of the other guests leaving for other restaurants after the event. The owners of the establishment are nice and the service was okay.

We had the best day ever! Thank you to Matthew, his family, and their entire staff at Paracel for making our wedding dreams come true. Everything exceeded our expectations, I highly recommend Paracel to anyone looking for a wedding venue or any event space. I looked for months for a wedding reception space to check off all my boxes and Paracel absolutely did that for us. The venue is modern, has a spacious front outside area for vendors. I loved the inclusivity that came with the entire package: the open bar add on, the food was amazing guests raved about the portions, and the overall set up. The bartenders were amazing and service from all the staff members were beyond expectations. Lastly, Matthew is very accommodating with all our needs; answering questions, making sure we got everything we needed. Not only was he an amazing MC (speaking both English and Vietnamese), but his DJ skills are top notch. The dance floor was poppin and he knew how to read the audience to keep them on the dance floor. His parents make you feel like family and the staff always make you feel welcomed. Paracel compared to other wedding venues that we looked at was affordable but more importantly accommodating and that's what really sold us. We can't thank the Paracel team enough for all that they have done for us to make our wedding a memorable one. Our guests continue to talk about how amazing the food was, how amazing the service was and how they had a blast. Thank you Paracel and the Hoang family for making it happen!

Paracel is a hidden gem. If you are thinking of booking your wedding here, DO IT! Staff: Matthew and his father, Chu Thong (and his mom) are amazing! From the initial tasting to the day of the event, they were there every step of the way. They were all there during the event too making sure everything was going smoothly. The whole family is very personable, helpful, responsive and accommodating. I booked Paracel a year and a half in advance and asked for some last-minute upgrades, and they still honored the previous price. I love supporting local family-owned businesses! Paracel is also very accommodating to vendors that need to come in to set up the day of the event. Luckily, there was no event on Friday, so I was also able to drop off some of my decorations the day before, which was very helpful. We booked Matthew as our DJ and he was awesome! He could really feel the vibe of our guests and got into the music. The night went by so fast and we ended up missing the centerpiece giveaway, a game, and our speech to guests, but that was because everyone was having so much fun. Matthew even went over the 11pm cut off time since everyone was having fun. He is amazing! His mom packed up the top tier of our cake for us and let us stick around to grab our decor at the end of the night. Food: Of course there are 9 courses at a Vietnamese wedding. We upgraded the first course to the Lobster Salad and it was spectacular. The presentation was unmatched and a great start to the night. The soup, lobster, shaken beef, honey walnut shrimp, peking duck, fish filet, and fried fish were also delicious. My friends who had the vegetarian entrees said their dishes were good as well. We upgraded to some passed appetizers during cocktail hour and that was the best decision. The pork wontons were so good and crispy, and luckily I had 4 since unfortunately, I didn't get to eat most of the meal at the sweetheart table. We also went with the open bar package for 4 hours and quick note - Paracel allows you to put a bottle at each table too. The open bar was A++. Our guests loved it, of course. Decor: I had been to some weddings at Paracel a long time ago, but they remodeled and it looks amazing. My theme was white, silver, and lavender, but a lot of other venues have gold accents. This one really fit what I wanted. I love the crystal chandeliers, white draping, the mood lighting, silver chairs, and modern flooring. They have a lot of different colored napkins to choose from and also recently painted outside and put artificial planters too. We had approximately 180 guests and they all had an amazing time. I believe Paracel could fit up to 400 guests. Thank you Matthew and the Staff at Paracel for an unforgettable night!

We had a party at this restaurant and really enjoyed the foods with lobster tails and noodles. The service servers were friendly and attentive to our tables. The owner came and greeted us too. The ambiance was nice and great music selections. I would give a 9.5 over 10 and wishing they will be there for us when needed and all will be happy healthy to serve us on our next event. Thanks
