On vacay and we decided we wanted seafood so stopped by to give it a try. We ordered the spicy garlic shrimp and king crab with no mess shrimp (shrimp peeled/headless). You can add different sauces to the boil and different heat levels to each sauce. We chose the Karai special sauce, habanero spicy and added some corn on the cob. The meal was really good, and although it was habanero, it wasn't really spicy. The garlic shrimp was very good. I would recommend this for all...

Service is always great, staff is highly attentive. We often order the Kraken and I love the seasoning! Food is delicious but sometimes it feels too buttery and the food tastes lukewarm. Nevertheless, garlic noodles never disappoints!
