    Empty on a Sunday, great for me so no wait. Highlights: Cajun Hot Wings - 10/10. Crispy on the outside, so juicy and steaming on the inside. Came in ALL FLATS. My big back was in heaven. For the flat lovers out there, these are some of the best fried wings you will taste. The seasoning wasn't too overpowering either. Not really any heat or spice but the crunch and moistness and flavor was there. Seafood Boil - 9/10 We got the Cajun seasoning. Solid flavor, it didn't feel too greasy. I didn't feel there was too much sauce on ours, everything was seasoned well. We split this between two people and it was enough, but this bag alone probably won't leave two people satiated. The price point was really decent for being able to get crab though, for $45 for crab and 2 other choices of seafood + the potato's, corn and sausage that's a great deal. Service-10/10 very friendly staff. Bathrooms - clean. Overall establishment was very clean, we got our waters and menu immediately when we sat down. The food was delicious and I'd definitely come back.

    Super delicious and it never disappoints! We stopped by on Father's Day and had an amazing feast. The crab, shrimp, garlic noodles, and fries were all incredibly good. Sharing is caring, and there was definitely plenty of food for everyone. They also have some great beers, the service was excellent, and the restaurant was super clean. Everything came out fresh and flavorful, making it another memorable visit. This is easily my favorite seafood place, and I'll definitely keep coming back!

There is a bar I have yet to come back to with peeps..out of the blue spirits let's try this cool place in Milpitas, CA which opened after the pandemic.

    After going to several places, I can guarantee you that this is the best boiled you'll have for your buck! Honestly, the space is so welcoming, and the staff are some of them best! Shout out to Cherlene for making my first impression of this place the best to come to again with my friends! Not only was she's super helpful and informative with everything on the menu, but definitely knew what her favorites are ! Highly recommend this place for the atmosphere and amazing staff! Everything to feed two people plus leftovers with B almost $100 with drinks and lots of refills ! Will come again!

    Tried Cajun Crack'n and overall it was a good experience. The seafood was fresh, and the seasoning had a great kick with just the right amount of spice. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was how thick the sauce was--it was a little heavier than I personally prefer. Aside from that, the flavors were really good, the portions were satisfying, and I'd definitely come back to give it another try.

    Great place to come for happy hour oysters. Oysters are usually $1.5 during happy hour but on Tuesday and Wednesdays they offer $1 house oysters (pacific oysters) and $2 Kumamoto oysters

    Garlic noodles

    We ordered takeout from Cajun Crack'n and it continues to be a go-to for us. Their seafood boil is always flavorful and satisfying, and the garlic noodles are a must every time. We usually take it home so we can really enjoy it comfortably, eating with our hands and pairing it with some home-cooked rice. The rice soaks up all that saucy goodness, which honestly makes it even better. Consistently good food and perfect for a laid-back, hands-on meal at home.

    Fried Soft Shell Crab
    Tiffany S.

    My dad's favorite restaurant, he's convinced this is the best seafood boil in the bay. The interior feels like a ship with the wooden framing and jack sparrow statue welcoming you. Always a fun trip. The weekday lunch special is pretty good (I believe it's $12 for 1 lb of shrimp and a sausage corn and potato), but my dad loves crawfish so I don't often go for that. Crawfish prices depends on if it's fresh or frozen (fresh is more expensive). The spiciness of the house sauce depends on who is cooking it that day. My server this time told us that if you can handle 2x Buldak, you could handle spicy, but there's days that spicy is spicy spicy! Check with the server before ordering because your mileage may vary. The server was also really on top of getting us straws, wipes, napkins, gloves, etc. I'm a sucker for the deep fried and the soft shell crab and oysters here are great. I prefer the garlic fries (more flavorful) to the Cajun fries (more crunchy) personally. I need greens with every meal to lie to myself that I'm healthy so I ordered the salad. I like the veggies used but it's more sauce than I would like, I'd order sauce on the side next time!

    Lobster roll as advertised
    Bogdan K.

    Just wanted to come on here to mention that overall, food was very good. However, I can't give this place 5 stars. We ordered 2 lobster rolls which looked nothing like what was pictured on the menu (see attached photos). I asked the waiter pointing to the picture on the menu if that was the lobster roll, and they said yes. The order we recieved was probably 1/3 of the size and did not have anywhere near the pieces or large chunks of lobster pictured on the menu. Through pictures already posted, I've found the picture of the advertised roll on the menu photo, and the real order you recieve. The menu photo appears to have around 6-8oz of lobster, whereas the real order appears to only have closer to 2-3oz. Dissapointing when the plate was placed in front of me to see the reality. Still, overall a good eatery, just would be nice if food was delivered as advertised on the photos, otherwise its just fake advertising.

    Delicious seafood , especially the fresh shrimp and crab . Everything tastes amazing. A whole bag of seafood boil paired with corn and sausage goes perfectly together. The garlic noodles are also very tasty, though the garlic flavor is a bit too strong. Haha! Besides the fries and onion rings, I highly recommend their fried calamari. It has a great texture and isn't tough at all. Highly recommended, but try to avoid coming during peak hours because there will be a bit of a wait. 好吃的海鮮,尤其是新鮮的蝦子和螃蟹,味道好吃,一整袋子的手抓海鮮搭配玉米和香腸非常的對味,香蒜拌麵也非常的好吃,不過蒜頭味太重了。哈!另外除了薯條和洋蔥圈以外,我最推崇的是他們家的炸魷魚,非常有口感也不會硬。強烈推薦給各位,但是儘量別在飯點來,排隊會需要一點時間。

    Special 2-dungeness crab, 1/2 lb clams, deveined headless shrimp in house special sauce spicy
    Sho R.

    I stopped by on a weekday for lunch. The place was not busy. They had good lunch specials. But I went for a Special 2-dungeness crab, 1/2 lb clams, deveined headless shrimp in house special sauce spicy. That was delicious. The sauce had a nice spice kick without being too spicy. Seafood was all fresh. Seafood boil is a messy food. They give apron, glove and scented tissues to take care of it. Still it gets messy especially because we need to crack open the crab legs. And it took me 90 minutes to finish my lunch.

    Combo #1 with Crawfish, shrimp, and baby octopus with medium spice House Special sauce
    John L.

    The seafood boil here is good but nothing stand out. Quality sauce and freshness of the seafood are all you need to have a good boil and the House Special sauce was slightly below average but the freshness of the seafood was fine. After all the glowing reviews I've heard about this place I did expect more, but overall I enjoyed my meal here. Pros - Good service and food came out quickly - Plenty of easy parking - Large restaurant, came on a Sunday afternoon and there was plenty of seats - Their happy hour deals look like a great deal Cons - I've had many different house special sauces in the area and this one lands slightly below middle of the pack. It was very one note and is pretty much what you would expect.

    Cajun seafood, messy hands, and why spicy is the right choice If you're looking for Cajun seafood boil in Milpitas or the South Bay, this place delivers the kind of experience people expect: big room, lively energy, seafood bags on the table, and absolutely no attempt at elegance. Which is exactly how a seafood boil should be. The dining room is large and open, with rope-wrapped columns, nautical décor, and big circular lights overhead. It works well for groups, but if you're by yourself it's easy to grab a seat at the bar and settle in with a seafood bag. Beer helps. The seafood boil The main attraction here is the Cajun seafood boil bag. Shrimp, crab legs, crawfish, sausage - all tossed in garlic butter and Cajun seasoning. When the bag opens, the smell hits first: garlic, spice, warm seafood sweetness, and butter coating everything. This isn't delicate food. You peel shrimp. Crack crab shells. Sauce gets everywhere. That's the whole point. Seafood boils are meant to be messy. Spice level: go hot For the sauce, I always choose spicy - the hotter the better. Cajun seasoning really comes alive with heat. When the spice level goes up, the shrimp tastes sweeter, the crab richer, and the garlic butter carries more depth. It isn't just heat for the sake of heat. The spice actually amplifies the seafood flavor. If you like Cajun food the way it's supposed to taste, don't be shy about ordering it spicy. Fried catfish: clean, soft, and no muddy flavor The fried catfish here is worth ordering. Catfish can easily pick up that muddy, fishy taste if it's not handled properly. A lot of places struggle with that. This one doesn't. The fish comes out golden and crisp outside, soft and tender inside, with clean flavor and no off smell. The inside stays moist and delicate, almost buttery. Just good fried fish. Shrimp po'boy The shrimp po'boy sandwich is another solid choice. Large shrimp, fried properly so the outside stays crisp while the inside remains juicy and tender. No rubbery texture. The bread is soft with a light toast, holding together shrimp, lettuce, and tomato in the classic Louisiana combination. You get three textures in every bite: crispy shrimp soft bread fresh vegetables Simple and satisfying. The vibe This place isn't trying to be refined seafood dining. It's about energy. Friends sharing a seafood bag. Beer on the table. Garlic butter on your hands. Paper towels disappearing quickly. That's exactly the environment Cajun seafood belongs in. Dr. C note A proper seafood boil should leave evidence. Shells on the table. Seasoning on your fingers. And a cold beer nearby to handle the spice. If that happens, the system is working.

    Food: Ume Bowl with Ochazuke Set Price: $26 + $4.5…read moreOverall: I came here with my boyfriend to celebrate our anniversary back in April! It is in the general area with Cere Tea and Koi Palace. We arrived around 6PM and were seated immediately. We came for the seafood don and both got the UME with an addition of the ochazuke set. For $26 + 4.5 for the set, I think it's really worth the price and you get a good amount of fresh fish. Each bite felt like I was transported to Japan and eating a Kaisendon. Although we had to wait for a bit for the dashi soup to arrive , it was a delicious end to our meal. So comforting and hearty.

    Finally got the chance to try Yaichi, the so called Bay Area Tsujihan for their massive seafood…read morerice bowls with ochazuke transformation and I have to say as someone who just came from asia and HAD Tsujihan, Yaichi is so much BETTER. Same quality but Bigger portions and better dashi, for about the same price? Sign me up. My girlfriend and I skated the potato salad appetizer - a delicious DIY experience that let you control the texture of your potato salad (though I feel I overmixed), and two take bowls which were MASSIVE - easily could have shared. The seafood was fresh, the portions generous, and maybe it's because I have a more Americanized palate, but the mixed seafood dashi was richer and paired much better than a mild seafood chazuke. Plus it came with shiso leaves and tempura crunchies so it was really no comparison. Overall this was a delicious meal that left me extremely full, unlike other seafood bowls that leave you just a little too hungry. Given the tastiness of their dashi, I'll def be back to try their udon. Also, as an added bonus, my dogs love the little dashi fish topper on their food they sell separately at the front. Love! --- Sweet: amazing dashi broth, delicious seafood bowls. Rare instance of a dinner living up to the hype Bitter: wish they had mini versions of their more deluxe bowls!!

    My ultimate birthday go-to for fresh seafood and steak!…read more Market Broiler Fremont has been my absolute go-to spot for birthday celebrations for years. When you want a consistently great meal to celebrate a special occasion, this place always delivers a solid 4-star experience. Here is why it keeps winning out over other chain options: The Apps to Start: You have to start with the appetizers here. They bring out that warm, fresh sourdough bread to the table which is dangerous because it's so good. Pairing that with their classic seafood apps like the crisp calamari or a shrimp cocktail sets the perfect tone for a birthday dinner. Fresh Fish & Steaks: For the main course, their menu hits the perfect balance. The fresh fish is always cooked beautifully, flaky, and high-quality. If you're looking for land instead of sea, their steaks are consistently juicy, tender, and seasoned just right. The Vibe: Sitting in the Pacific Commons location makes for a great, lively atmosphere that feels celebratory without being overly stuffy. It's a reliable local favorite that never fails for a birthday dinner. Great food, solid portions, and always a great time!

By the time I cracked everything open, it felt like there was more shell than seafood. The mussel shells even had barnacles on them, which I've never seen here before. It made the seafood feel like it hadn't been cleaned as well as it should have. The garlic fries were crispy, but that's it. It was weird--I could see the garlic and was literally eating it, yet there was no garlic flavor. The garlic noodles used to be one of my favorite items because they were bold and packed with garlic. Now they've definitely toned the flavor down, and they're just not the same anymore. It's honestly disappointing because this place used to be one of my favorite seafood spots. The food quality has clearly declined while the prices have continued to go up. I hope they can get back to what made this place so good, but based on today's experience, I can't recommend it anymore.
