Loved all the staineless steele serving ware! It was just beautifully presented and we appreciated the trash bucket and plates. The dog friendly patio was so awesome and clean! They even gave our dog a bowl of water. So sweet! Service and staff was excellent. They were all friendly, professional, patient and attentive. All the food was fresh, perfectly prepared and cooked well. Big portions. The yummy yummy sauce is a combination of all their sauces. In my opinion, it was definitely different from the flavors found at other vietcajun seafood restaurants, but tasty nonetheless. I’d describe it as being on the more sweet side, probably sweetened by the delicious roasted garlic chunks, very tangy from citrus, and the spice tasted like fresh birds eye chilis, not dried cayenne pepper.

Was definitely the worst food experience we’ve had in California. Mostly because I ordered the steak fried rice which the waiter said was more substantial than the seafood pasta. But was about 5 pieces of beef and mostly fat similar to another persons review 7 months prior.

My friend and I are visiting from Canada and my nephew suggested the roasted crab for dinner. We had several dishes and all were wonderful. A big thank you goes to our server Ryan. Also thank you to Alison for allowing us to take care of the bill while my nephew tried to wrestle us for it. I would recommend this place to any seafood lover.

Bad food, bad service and very expensive. What a mistake we made coming here. I should just left when I felt bad about what I got myself into. From the start the lady started telling us about special which end no special when ordered. It was our 1st time there and we told the guy waiter to suggest something good, well these guys wanted to sell you expensive items on their menu and by the lb. He suggested shrimp something with noodle and it was suppose to be on special. It came in a plastic bag, and from that moment I knew it’s a place to forget and place in blacklist. They gave us foam plates to put the very hot shrimp. The shrimp meal was messy and a lot of work. The appetizers miz was nasty. The fish was old and tasted really bad not to mention for $15 was too small.

We thought we’d give this place a shot, but unfortunately it wasn’t amazing. We ordered a 1lb of tiger shrimp (No heads) and a whole dungeness crab in the Oh Cajun sauce, with corn, potatoes, and garlic bread.

This place is AMAZING. We had King’s combo with their signature sauce, no spicy. Every ingredient tastes so fresh and delicious. The King Crab legs are big and rich in meat, the mussels are huge and soft, the prawns’ texture tastes very fresh. Even the fries are very well made. The price might look a bit high, but it’s 100% worth it.
