Visiting from out of town, nondescript shopping center and decor. But the food and service/advice was great! Some of the best raw oysters I have had and at a good price. She recommended the Sweet Snails and we also ordered the crab vermicelli. Fantastic. Didn’t expect it to be Vietnamese food but worth it.

Not one of the better dining experiences that I've had. Came in wanting a basic crawfish boil and some boba. Prices were higher than I had seen online which could either be due to the seafood prices these days or the fact that it was a weekend. I wanted a combo one with crawfish and was informed that there was an additional charge per pound if I chose crawfish. Please note that when they say 2 sausages, they mean 2 slices of sausage (see the picture for reference). Additionally, due to a miscommunication/misunderstanding (not sure which) with the server I ended up with the House Special sauce, which is basically garlic butter, rather than the Kickin Cajun. I was informed after the fact that the Kickin Cajun is not popular because it is sour. Aside from my general confusion that the Cajun sauce isn't the best option for a Cajun dish, I can't comment any further since I ate what I got, which was the House special, medium heat. The crawfish themselves were tender and tasted fresh and they did not skimp on the garlic. It was just salty enough and just spicy enough.As for the boba, I was told they didn't have the small size that was listed on their menu, and more importantly, that they didn't have the typical black boba balls, only the crystal boba. To be frank, this seems like an oversight. It would be different if they just happened to have a few boba options in their drink section, but they shouldn't advertise themselves as a "Seafood Bar & Boba" if there isn't even classic boba.To be clear: the food is not bad. It just didn't hit the spot, on multiple points.

Everything was good, except the razor clam. Flavor of the snail was very good, but portion is small and pricey.

Not sure if the waitress is also the cook and waitress but please hire her some help. She’s tending the whole place it seems. Grilled oysters needed more grilling. But not bad 7/10

It was amazing. Service was great, servings were HUGE, atmosphere was chill, and food was well seasoned and delicious!!! Highly recommended the blackened tilapia with shrimp étoufée. Will definitely return next time we visit the island.Parking: Parking is along the curb and you just download an app and pay for the time you need. The entire island has thus set up this way.

Called in the order and first question I asked was if they had lice crawfish. The lady on the phone said yes. I ordered 3 lbs and she informed that it was $16/lb. I said that’s fine. She asked how long it would be until I pick yo and I told her I could be there in 30 minutes. I got there and the place had one table that was cashing out and otherwise was empty. She asked me to wait 5 more minutes…15 minutes pass and finally I get my order. I get home and 60% of the crawfish were dead before they were boiled and they were obviously frozen. $16 a pound? Absolutely not. It was inedible. What a waste. Do not lie, because of this I will not return to this establishment. If they were honest, I could have came back when they did have live crawfish and would have given them a fair chance. Because of this lie, I had a bad experience at your establishment with your service and your food. Why would a customer want to return?

Great food and service. We drive from Sugarland just to eat here even when Bellaire is closer.

It's been a while since I came here and when I did I came a few times. Mainly because they were the only ones serving fresh live crawfish starting in Nov :O. My wife got the cravings and we took our offshore friend on one of the outings and they delivered. We got the chefs special sauce with the crawlers with sausage and corn with a bunch of fried finger food, the garlic seafood noodles and a good helping of oysters served in 3 different way and other shellfish. The owner was so accommodating even when she had a low supply and gave us complimentary desserts. Each time we came we had a blast. I highly recommend them and will be coming throughout the season

I've been here twice now. My first visit convinced me I'd be a loyal customer for life, but my second visit wasn't as great. I had razor clams, sweet snails, scallops, oysters, and soft shell crab on my first visit, and loved everything! This visit made me fall in love with razor clams lol so when I came back, I got two orders of it in two different flavors all to myself. One of them was good and normal, while the other one was...gritty. I thought the first one was a fluke, but after having five in a row that were like that, I knew it was the whole plate. But the other plate was fine, so idk how that happened. It was really disappointing because my first visit had me grinning from ear to ear. I'm really hoping it was a one-time thing because I still love those razor clams and don't know where else to get them. Aside from that one dish, everything here has been spectacular. So great that this was potentially my newest favorite restaurant, at least in terms of seafood. SWEET SNAIL W/ SALTED GREEN PEPPER: Not my favorite snail because it breaks easily. The flavor was good, but not my favorite of the night. My parents loved it though. They ordered a second plate. RAZOR CLAM (THAI BASIL): I loved the chewy, meaty texture! And I loved the rich flavor! My favorite dish of the night! RAZOR CLAM (GARLIC BUTTER): The flavor reminded me exactly of crawfish. It was good, but I preferred the Thai basil. GRILLED LARGE BLOOD CLAM: Delicious toppings! The clams were very chewy, some might think too chewy, but I still enjoyed it. SALTED PEPPER SOFT SHELL CRAB: Delicious! Great crispy texture! Great flavor! Super fresh! Really good size too! One of the best soft shell crabs I've ever gotten! Must try! RAW OYSTERS: Huge, plump, and super fresh! The green jalapeño sauce was really good too, even though I usually don't like jalapeño. I'm kinda obsessed with it lol GRILLED OYSTERS W/ SCALLION OIL and W/CHEESE: We split a dozen between the two flavors. Again, huge, plump, and fresh! So tasty! I usually don't like grilled oysters, but this is the first time I loved it! GRILLED SCALLOPS W/ QUAIL EGGS: Good, but I would personally prefer it without the egg. I think my table liked it with it though. CALAMARI RINGS: Huge, thick, and very chewy. Honestly too chewy. Probably won't get again. CRAB GARLIC NOODLE: Tasty! Good portion size and amount of crab.

First time trying this place out and mostly will not be returning. 1. Appetizer sampler: fried tofu, calamari and chicken wings all needed salt and seasoning. 2. Seafood garlic noodles: favor was okay but only had 4 shrimp and cut up calamari rings. 3. House special fried rice: It had FISH ROE. Usually house special fried rice contains chicken, pork (usually char siu), and shrimps -- along with veggies like onion, peas, and carrots. This is not typical and as soon as the plate came to the table we told the server. Her response was "that's what comes in it and that is what you ordered." Which ruined our experience and we didn't feel like eating anymore. Mind you the ingredients are not listed on the menu. What if I was allergic? This was not good customer service. So we were stuck with it and ended up throwing it away.

Decent fried rice, terrible grilled mussles and oysters with cheese.
