“Really interesting cuisine and experience. Cute and small joint serving Cajun Korean food with a lot of variety and inventiveness. The jambalaya was great with a lot of flavor and kick. The softshell crab sandwich I had was phenomenal -- just the right texture of fried crab and toppings with some pickled vegetables. Service was really kind and efficient.“

“Pretty good po boys quality wise. I just recommend that they should get some horse radish for the po boys like how it's done in NOLA. I really liked the catfish Po boy, but had to go to the supermarket to get my own horse radish. Sandwich is delicious though, albeit a bit smaller than a hero.“

“I really enjoyed my evening out at this joint. The food was on point; well seasoned and expertly prepared. The staff exuded warmth and were very attentive. And a nice vibe and feel to the place. The only minor issue was (a) the seating is a bit tight and (b) it was a bit noisy. I would have given 4 1/2 stars instead of 4 but that's not an available option. I unreservedly recommend! And if you fail to try their grilled oysters...well, that will be your eternal loss LOL.“

“First time there yesterday..the place is beautiful. The food was OK. Our waiter Jonathan C was awesome!! The blue crab doesn’t need the powdered sugar on top. The alligator bites batter was too salty and the cornbread was on the dry side….half a loaf is only 2 small slices for $8…not cool. And last but not least, the bread pudding should have been warm and the caramel sauce taste burnt. I will still give it a 8 out of 10 rating.“

“My family took me here for my birthday and we had a wonderful time! The staff was very attentive and the food was served quickly. Everything on the menu was tasty, it was hard to stop ordering. We had such a great experience we’re planning on celebrating different birthdays here! I would highly recommend this place if you love seafood!“

“This place is an overall great time and great addition to the neighborhood! The staff were amazing with their service and knowledge about the region and menu, and the co-owner was making drinks at the bar! The cocktails and food are a must try!Drank: TI’ PunchAte: Salade Creole (loved), Camarons Coco-Vanille (loved especially the vanilla bean sauce)“

“Hands down, the greatest sea food boil around. I'll drive 30 minutes to Capt loui even though there's several other companies way closer to me. It's just that good. Service, food, cleanliness, the staff... everything is top notch, never once left without being completely satisfied. If I could give more stars I would, 10/10 experience every time ?“

“Went with a friend to Hook and Reel and had an amazing experience. The food was delicious and VERY affordable. I had such a great time I returned the following day. I have to say what made the visit great for me was the staff and service. Our servers Richard and Taylor made us feel at home. The manager Sarah came out to greet us on our second visit. She was very sweet and down to earth. I highly recommend giving Hook and Reel a visit. ??“

“Celebrated my son's 35th birthday here. The owner was wonderful, very friendly and made the bday celebration more special. We enjoyed the seafood boils, calamari, hush puppies, and fish and chips. Special sauce was delicious and if you like spicy don't worry that extra spicy is too hot. Highly recommend!“

“Aqua Boil is a hidden gem. I got the Crab Boil and the seasonings were tantalizing and food cook to perfection. The service was excellent. They were very attentive and the vibes were positive and upbeat. Definitely going back for a second visit.“

“Finally a great fish market in our area, where you can get sushi grade fish, local catch and great shellfish. love the fish monger and coming from one of the biggest fishing ports in italy I know that’s a tough job and it takes a lot of work and dedication to offer a decent variety of fresh fish.My fluke was extremely fresh and perfect for a carpaccio/sashimi, mussels were also great and so it was the fillet of monkfish.Keep up the good work!!!thanks!!!“

“Absolutely delicious and authentic Chinese food. I was invited to this restaurant by my Chinese boss and he ordered most of the food. I was blown away by just about everything we ordered as I have never heard of most of these dishes. They were all amazing, with the exception of stinky tofu. If you’ve never had it before, you probably shouldn’t risk it as it’s a definite acquired taste. I will be back here to explore more dishes“

“We got there around 945 right before the kitchen closed, we ordered fast and got the lobster, soft shell crab basket , king crab, Mac n cheese and garlic bread, Cajun fries , mussels, ordered all rhe seafood with the boil sauce which is a mix of all of them definitely go with that and don’t need to order extra sauce, came with potatoes and corn, the drinks were that great but the service was fast, it was super busy, classic seafood/cajun vibe“

“Stopped in 1803 for lunch while I was downtown. The staff was friendly and super helpful.I ordered the Catfish Sandwich that came with friends. The Catfish was flavorful with their house chili sauce. I wish the bread wasn’t so thick for the amount of meat.Interested in trying some of the other options on the menu, but overall had a good experience.“

“As we were greeted as soon as we came in by a very lovely lady at the front counter, we were immediately seated with the waiter, coming out very promptly and taking care of every knee. As soon as something was finished it was removed as soon as you needed something they were right there some of the best service I’ve ever had in my life. It’s hard to find and the food is absolutely amazing. Is one of the best nights I’ve had out at dinner and well over a year year.“

Despite high anticipation, every dish surpassed our hopes, bursting with authentic flavors that transported us to the heart of Cajun cuisine. The friendly staff added to the warmth of the experience, offering knowledgeable recommendations and ensuring our every need was met with a smile. From the perfectly seasoned boils to the succulent grilled seafood, every bite was a testament to the chef's skill and dedication to quality. Without a doubt, Crab Island stands as a beacon of Cajun culinary excellence, deserving of every praise.“

“This place is really a league of its own and deserves more than 5 stars. The food here is fantastic and flavorful. Its hard to find quality Creole and Lousiana food in NYC and this place more than delivers. Ive come here multiple times and every dish is interesting and filling. The prices are a bit high, but I think it is worth it for the quality and quantity that you get.“

“The food was delightful! 10/10Get the spicy seafood boil! The flavors were sooo good!I do not like clam chowder at all! It's usually watery and gross!This clam chowder however was Amazing!!! I'm glad it was on the prefix menu because otherwise I wouldn't get it!5 stars ? ?The drinks we had were the:FISHERMAN PUNCH (blue drink)KINGSTON PUNCHBoth were strong BUT I'm a sucker for a sorrel mix so the Kingston Punch was my favorite!Pleaseeee get the mac and cheese! I was stuffed and still ate that whole thing!“

“The food, staff, and environment was amazing. By far the best hook and reel location. The drinks are perfectly made, the food is cooked to perfection, and the staff are super helpful and make this dining experience 10 times better. The staff are quick to attend you and are attentive. I would’ve gave this place 10 stars if i could.“

“For my birthday today, I made the decision to go to this restaurant. I was rather happy. It was my first time, and I'm happy that I chose this location. A perfect ten. There was an aura. The cuisine was excellent. The beverages were adorable. The interior of the restaurant is lovely. I got my dinner fast and the service was very courteous to me and my family. I'll be back very soon!“

“202403xx::OH NO!!! all u can eat(AYCE)is $45 now. i got the flounder and rings, calamari, and i was getting full. so getting the $29.99 AYCE was not worth it. the calamari was actually softer than almost all the greek restaurant calamari.“

“Went her with my wife on a date night and it was amazing. There was a DJ playing nice old school and new music the food is great service is on point and the servers are very respectful and attentive to your needs. I highly recommend this place to come hang out eat some good food and enjoy yourself.“

“My fav Cajun Seafood spot !!I’ve been here many times and never once has it disappointed me. The seafood is fresh, large portions and very delicious! Absolutely love the decor and the staff is friendly. Plenty of room to gather with friends and family and also watch a sports event on the large screen.“

“I ordered a lobster with lemon pepper cajun sauce and it was out of this world good. I don't know why this place is not as busy as it should be. Maybe they need to run oyster specials like Captn Louie. I enjoyed the takeout. The lobster was fresh. I would not recommend getting the noodles for an additional $7 because you can just go buy a box of pasta and put it in the sauce.“

“This was my first time trying seafood boil and the experience was really good. I am a spicy food lover so having the option to choose your spice level on the menu was a plus for me and the combination was really good.The oceanic combo gives you a good amount of food which can easily be shared between three person (saves you a little money). Besides I also loved their Piña Colada.Side note: the seafood boil experience can get a little messy, so I would suggest having extra napkins and ask for an extra pair of gloves.“

“I rarely write a review but I have been obsessed with Crab Du Jour since they opened in Harlem. My experience here has been delightful from the food to the friendly and attentive staff members who make customers feel right at home. If you are a seafood lover who’s in the mood for mouth-watering authentic Cajun dishes that won't break the bank, look no further than Crab Du Jour in Harlem; just steps away from the hustle and bustle of 125th Street. Their signature boils are an absolute must-try! They offer a variety of options like Crawfish, Shrimp, Snow Crab legs, Dungeness Crabs and Lobster Tail – all cooked to perfection! Each boil comes with potatoes and corn on the cob and your choice of classic garlic butter, lemon pepper, and the original Cajun or Crab du jour special, sauce. I usually add sausage to my boil; Yummy! Looking for something other than boils, there are plenty of choices! They offer dishes like po’ boys sandwiches which come with fried oysters or fried fish filets. My friend really likes the crispy chicken po’boy. They also offer fried shrimp baskets, or crab cake baskets, just to name a few. Regardless of what you choose off the menu here, you can be sure that it will be delicious and flavorful every single time!“

“I tried Oysters for thr 1st time, not my thing but also not bad! I had a crabcake Po'boy and my 2 friends also ordered shrimp po'boy sandwiches. All of us enjoyed our food so much that we couldn't waste time chatting and just ate. The $1 wings were pretty great too. The staff was really welcoming and nice.“

“My boyfriend and I went there on a Sunday around 4:30 pm. I made reservations earlier the same day which weren't really necessary as it wasn't busy. We ordered our drinks and the waiter explained everything pretty thoroughly as it was my partners first time. The food was amazing, the only thing is that we didnt get the best filled pieces but it still tasted amazing. We got the king crab and the snow crab legs in their Cajon blend, mild w/ potatoes and 1 corn each. Great meal and the drinks were good as well. It is a cash only venue, the ATM avaliable does charge a percentage to take money out and there is a 20% service fee that's tacked on to the bill. I didn't see any signs about it and may have missed that on the menu but I assumed that 20% was including the tip. If it's not management should be more clear about that. Good vibes though.“

“Me and my friends went here on Christmas for dinner and were sooo happy we did! The owner is incredibly kind and welcomed us an hour before close and even remade our togo order after one of our friends accidentally threw it away ? Will def be back! Food is so good, slushy drinks are so “

“Was a little nervous after reading some not so good reviews about their customer service and watching some TikTok reviews.... However I still decided to give them a try...walk in the place was empty but it was in the evening and just finish raining. The worker in the front was cool and helpful he gave me some suggestions which helped me make some of my decisions. Once my order was complete the cook came out with my order to explain which each meal was before packing it away which was sweet and helpful because it allowed me to take the pictures I needed since I was taking my food to go. Everything was tasty except for the tender meal with the mash and corn that was my least favorite. The fries were also too soft for my liking wish they were a little more crisper. I may or may not visit again but I do suggest you stop by and check them out for yourself. Ambiance: 4/10 Food: 8/10 Customer Service: 10/10“

“Outstanding experience, I would give more than 5 stars ? , everybody goes above and beyond in everything they do, I want to give a special thanks to Herman, Pen, Henry and Ardy for their excellent service. They're always welcoming and treat everyone like family!“

“Good service, very clean, friendly staff also good food. Majority of the items are pricey but that’s because seafood is expensive so it is logical. Certain items are budget affordable thought depending. I ordered the seafood pasta, chicken tenders, fries, hush puppies, fried shrimp, onion rings, lemon pepper fries, lobster tots etc and it was delicious and super yummy. I’ve been coming here for more then a year since it was first opened and I honestly love it.“

“Great food. Service was ok, but not great - got the wrong drink delivered, no cutlery until after the food arrived, and, despite asking about dessert at the start when ordering, our bill was delivered with us asking for it, so we didn't get the chance to order beignets.“

“I was so excited to eat here - certainly my favorite movie and so it brought up some cool emotions about the film. We were seated quickly - even though it was such a busy time. Did not have to wait long before orders were taken. Exceeded expectations - being in the city and such a touristy area, I thought it might be a problem. Food was great and I'd gladly go again.“

“I ordered Doordash and my food came so quick! It was fresh and the fried shrimp was still crispy and you can tell it's good quality shrimp. The Cajun fries were bomb! They sent me 4 different sauces and coleslaw with my order :) VERY happy with my decision to order from here.“
