    General Tso chicken
    Kristin M.

    My husband and I went in for dinner, we sat at the bar. The bartender was super friendly. We started with an order of their spring rolls. We asked if we could mix them and they said yes so we had 2 pork and 2 veggie. I didn't try the pork but my husband said they were good, as were the veggie! We split an order of the General Tso chicken and fried rice. We very much enjoyed everything we tried!

    Their very own Asian vinaigrette dressing!  Light and delicious!

    This Asian-influenced seafood restaurant surprised me with awesome food! Honestly, I don't expect much from vacation beach towns; they are either sloppily cooked or way much overpriced. Boardwok South offers great alternatives to the common high-calorie comfort food in Outer Banks. I particular like their own Asian vinaigrette dressing, light and delightful. Their side salad (came with the entrees) is very fresh, judged by a regular salad maker (me). For entrees, my partner and I ordered the shrimp scampi and special tuna steak topped with crab meat. Another plus of this place is that they only use NC shrimps and tuna for their dishes (unlike many restaurants in northeastern beach towns that use seafood from other places).Both dishes are decently cooked and presented. I have to say, freshness truly makes a difference in seafood. The only downside is service. This location seems understaffed and the waiting time for food is slightly long. Overall, it's an awesome restaurant based on my vacation-town restaurant standard.

    Seafood rice noodles.

    We were so happy to dine in again at Boardwok South. Don't let the plain exterior deter you. Go in and enjoy delicious seafood. We had scallops and shrimp with rice noodles and seared tuna tacos. We enjoyed beer and wine from the bar. Friendly staff and wonderful entrees. (We had no room for dessert)

    Call ahead for wait and large groups. Also, yelp says they are closed but that's not true.....have been in this location for 4 years. Great food, casual atmosphere. Don't pass by in the waves strip mall....

    Amazing Macan Pistacio ice cream sandwich! I have celiac and it was great no side effectsread more

    I can not wait to go back, with friends or solo! This was by far the sweetest (pun intended) iced…read morecream shop I have been to in a long time. Let's start with location. Great size parking lot, sounds like they get a LOT of customers based off their signs. And they do have a lot, so you know exactly what to expect. The whole house is beautiful, love their decor and the cute way people hide money in the cracks and crevices of the establishment. This is the second place I have been to that I've seen this done. My younger one hid a quarter of her own. Also, wish we weren't rushing out so quickly to head to our next spot because I would have loved some cute merch! T-shirts, hoodies, bags, cups, etc. The establishment is clean, well maintained, and overall a total OBX vibe. Lots of sitting areas inside and outside on the porch. Service was cool, younger highschool kids mainly, they had a lot of them at the counter. I didn't need any help but they seem ready and willing to be at service. No complaints. They also offer military discount. A+ for our active military and veterans. The ice cream was great. Think froyo style places where it's based off weight. I had a mixture of Vanilla, pretzel, and cheesecake. I liked the cheesecake best especially with the cheesecake toppings. My friend got an ice cream sandwich, note she isn't a super sweets person but she really enjoyed it. She did say the cookie part of the sandwich was a bit too sugary for her personally. Me on the other hand, bring on the sugar. The kids had an awesome time selecting their ice cream and toppings. Every one of them loved being able to make their own decisions and create exactly what they wanted. As for the toppings I do wish they had crushed graham crackers, would have been great with the cheesecake bites. Note* Slowly pull the handle for ice cream. Some come out way faster than others and you end up with a way too filled bowl. Overall an excellent experience and a certified Surfin' Spoon roadie! Just need to grab some merch next time to show them off as I travel!
