1.5 lb crawfish - they conformed it wax "fresh" but you can taste the freezer burn on them
Edie N.

Probably one of the worst seafood and dining experiences I've ever had honestly and I reallllly had high hopes for this place. First off, we called ahead to make sure they had fresh crawfish over the phone they said it was in season and fresh. When we got there we confirmed with the waitress again and she said it was fresh but it was not only frozen but borderline inedible and I'm shocked they served something that was essentially rotting from the inside out. The inside was BLACK and soggy!! Chinese all you can eat buffets have better quality than this. It was actually so bad I couldn't even continue eating it. The price was atrocious for that as well ($25 for 1lb, $22 for half). Service was just as bad. The two waitresses seemed like they hated being there and took forever to get us menus, took even longer to take our order and she just sat behind the counter and ate instead of bringing us water or utensils. They never once came back to check in on us after dropping the food off. The catfish was BLAND despite it looking seasoned which was shocking and the short ribs looked and tasted boiled as you can see in the photo. Just overall horrible quality. I'm actually sad about this spot! Just moved to the east bay from sf and it looked promising. Just was an unfortunate disappointment.

I was sat at a table in the middle of the restaurant. Around noon on a weekday. Another waitress came out and asked me to move to another table by the window, bc the High schoolers would be coming in for lunch. In retrospect, it was not a big deal. But at the time, it was off putting. You don't seat someone then ask them to move for someone else! A bit afterwards, the high schoolers showed up in droves. They were not disruptive. But I was able to see why she moved me. At this time (late morning) there was a family sitting next to me. They ended up leaving bc the restaurant had no dungeons crab! They were rather upset. Understandably. I ordered Lady Dubs Special (cajun) with the flat bread, added sausage and a side of garlic noodles. This was more than enough to feed 1 person. And the sauce is flavorful. Nice and thick, just the way I like it. 10/10!! I've had several seafood boils and this one is the best so far!! It also affordable.

We arrived and were seated quickly. The crew was friendly and the food was tasty. While they serve beer and wine, they do not have a full bar. Which Is fine, but wanted to share that info if that's a deal breaker for you.

Dungeness crab in Steph Curry sauce
Billy L.

Hang Ten is easily one of my top three Asian style crab boil spots. My other two favorites are Lemon Pepper in Hayward and Claw Shack in San Jose, but Hang Ten definitely holds its own. My go-to order here is the Dungeness crab with the Steph Curry sauce. It has this Thai yellow curry flavor that's super unique and really tasty. I usually go for spicy, which has a nice kick, but this time I tried extra spicy and it was still manageable in a good way. One thing I really like about Hang Ten is that their sauces are thick enough to actually cling to the seafood, which makes every bite flavorful. The only downside is that out of my top three spots, this one has the oiliest sauce. It's a bit heavy and can leave you feeling kind of weighed down afterwards. I wish it was more like Lemon Pepper, where you barely taste any oil or butter. Still, that Steph Curry sauce flavor keeps me coming back. Their garlic noodles are also really solid, probably my second favorite anywhere. They've got great umami flavor without being too oyster sauce heavy, just garlicky with a touch of sweetness. The only bummer is that they used to have a rewards system, and when I tried giving my number yesterday, they said the company that ran it shut down, so all my saved points are gone. That was disappointing. Overall, Hang Ten is still a great spot for flavorful seafood boils, but now that I've discovered Lemon Pepper, I'll probably come here a little less often.

Da dub basket 10/10

What an amazing experience we had at Hang Ten Boiler! We came out for a Halloween Market and decided to grab lunch after stumbling upon this place, we walked by and couldn't resist the garlicky, buttery cajun notes wafting in the air. Small hole-in-the-wall type of interior with lots of sports decor and a cozy dining area with several wooden dining tables. They had a couple televisions playing varying sports channels , I could see this as a place to hang out and watch a game if sports is your kind of thing. Upon arrival we were seated within minutes. Our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout our luncheon, and even helped us decide which flavor to go with for our shrimp. We decided on the curry sauce, and we were so happy we did. I'm a sauce person and this is one of the most unique flavor profiles I've ever had for a seafood boil! We picked the medium spice flavor for our shrimp and it was just right, next time we would go spicier. Other highlights of our meal included the hang ten fries, tender bites of savory and smokey meat on top of fries, da dub basket, with fried shrimp, fried catfish, and fried oyster, we upgraded the side to garlic noodles. The breading was perfect, not too thick, slightly crispy and the seafood was juicy on the inside. We were super impressed by the food and cannot wait to go back!

Audience is cool, the service is okay and the food is about the same. Just okay I've been here several times but I have t had anything great yet. Well actually the garlic noodles are pretty good but everything else okay

Garlic Fries

Our friends were visiting and wanted to have lunch here. I've known about Hang Ten but didn't know that they offered a Hawaiian menu and not just a Cajun seafood menu, which is not a preference of mine. Lot of sports décors on the wall and I knew this was the home of "We Believe" for you Warrior fans. Arriving at 12:30 on a Thursday, there were about three tables of diners, but there were a bunch of students from the Alameda High ordering lunch with a couple dining in. We were promptly seated and we checked out menu and placed our order. Lumpia - ten pieces of homemade lumpias to an order with sweet chili dipping sauce Garlic Fries - thin fries in a garlic sauce Garlic Noodles - a large portion. This was so tasty. Would definitely order again. Katsu Chicken with mac salad and broccoli - Chicken was moist and had a nice crispy batter Kalbi ribs with mac salad - Ribs were tender and good portion. Janelle's Loco Moco with broccoli - only disappointment. The patties were over cooked as they were tough. Definitely had better loco mocos. Overall, we had a good experience. Friendly service and good food at reasonable prices.

Jordan's Combo
Julianne L.

Came here ready for a seafood boil and it was way better than I expected! I came in a group of 4, where we split the Hang Ten fries, two people ordered individual plates, and I shared Jordan's combo with one other person. The Hang Ten fries were deep fried to perfection and the kalua pork was salty and tender. They give you a big squeeze bottle of aioli sauce if you want more too. The portions for all of the entrees were MASSIVE! The Jordan's combo could definitely fill more than two people and you'd have leftovers to take home! I had it with the Hang Ten (Cajun) flavor and medium spicy. It was so delicious and spicier than I expected! It was even spicier and more flavorful the next day as leftovers. Those that ordered the entrees had a good portioned meal for another day. Service was fast and the market price for the Jordan's combo was ~$55 when I went.

Cajun fries, shrimp
Jenny H.

My mom was craving hang ten so I called for an order of one pound shrimp, medium spicy, hang ten flavor. It was ready super quick within ten minutes. I got there and realize they were prepping for closing. Staff were still super nice even though I know they just want to close up and go home. Very sweet staff. I went home to bring my mom the shrimp. She loved it. Perfect spice level we chose. My mom finished her meal and wanted more already haha

Hang Ten is delish! Hang Ten Boiler is a lively restaurant with great food. Their portions are large and food is super flavorful. The shrimp, mussels, and clams are super plump and juicy! Their hard boiled eggs, potatoes, and sausages are pretty large which justifies their higher-than-average additional cost. I love love love the Steph Curry and Hang Ten sauces - their flavor profiles are super unique and unlike any other I've had at a seafood boil restaurant. The drinks, however, are pricey (sodas are sold by the can with no refills). Hang Ten is a hip spot. Like many other Cajun/seafood boil places, there are signatures on the walls and good music playing. It can get a bit rowdy, especially on Warriors game nights. This makes it a super fun spot though and a must-be location for good dinner and rooting for the team. The service is iffy. Sometimes we are seated and served quickly with zero complaint. Other times, we end up waiting for over 20 minutes for a water refill or a request for lemons, even on a non-busy night. The wait-staff are truly either phenomenal or grumpy. The majority of the time though, we are served well. I definitely recommend Hand Ten!

If you're craving some real-deal Cajun food, hang ten is the spot. From the moment you step in, you're greeted by the rich, spicy smells of gumbo, jambalaya, and crawfish. The vibe is laid-back and fun, with a touch of New Orleans charm mix with a lot of Bay Area sport culture. Food: I went with the classic Bay Area special - garlic noodles, and wow--it did not disappoint. Also got the shrimp and crayfish. The shrimp were perfectly seasoned, with just the right amount of heat. The crayfish were steamed thoroughly, and they soaked up all the delicious sauce. The house special sauce is different, it has a curry based to it and not alike any other Cajun style resturaunt Service: The staff here is super friendly and really knowledgeable about the menu. Our server gave some great recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed without hovering. The food came out pretty quickly too, which was awesome. Vibe: The place has a cozy, down-home feel to it, with Bay Area decor that makes it feel like you're dining right in the heart of the bay. The music adds to the atmosphere, but it's not so loud that you can't carry on a conversation. It's the perfect place for a casual night out with friends or a date night if you're in the mood for something a little different. It's got great food, a fun atmosphere, and the kind of comfort you want when you're in the mood for bold flavors and good vibes.

Mussels Shrimp Dungeness Crab

Food was sooooo bomb. The seasoning if the hang ten signature sauce was very flavorful.

Sharon B.

Met up with a friend for dinner. It was a spontaneous evening and we came in with an appetite. We ordered the Dungeness crab, shrimp and corn with garlic noodles. Oh so damn good, I could dunk my face in it and drink it! We got down and dirty- but with gloves and bibs! There was no cracker for the crab, so we ended up cracking the crabs against the table. Yummy!!! Service was fast and friendly!

Was gifted a gift card here - we decided to try this spot out on a warm Saturday afternoon. Located…read moreright near the water in Jack London Square. Parking is a bit difficult but we managed to find street parking a block away. Wasn't too crowded and there was plenty of seating inside. You order first and you find a table to sit, and they bring out the food to you. Self serve water is available. The food came out pretty quick! Thoughts: - Lobster roll (classic) was delicious! Generous amount of lobster. Would definitely get this again. Chips weren't too great though. - Fried shrimp basket was nice. Shrimp was crispy and tasty. Fries were also very crispy and flavorful. The sauces go well with the shrimp/fries. Coleslaw isn't the best though. - The crab nachos were surprisingly good. A nice cheese sauce combo with pico/avocado crema and a good amount of crab. - Garlic noodles were fine, nothing standout about them. - Mix and match basket with catfish, cod, and calamari (not pictured): Catfish was solid (would highly recommend, one of the favorites of the meal!), but would pass on the cod and calamari - a bit dry/fishy. Would recommend for a casual spot for seafood and a nice view!

First off, this place is one the water on Jack London Square - which is pretty much in a death…read morespiral. The once thriving and bustling go-to spot is a mere shadow of what it once was. Anyone remember the Jack London Village that they tore down to build this end of the development? Anyways - this is a fast casual type spot, where you order from the counter, place the little number sign on your table and wait for it to be delivered. The menu is your standard seafood joint by the water type, with all the usual suspects represented. Fried fish, shrimp, chowder, seafood pastas--if you've ever been to a seaside seafood joint, chances are good that the menu here is exactly like the one you remember seeing at the countless other places like this one. I noticed right off the bat that their pricing structure was on the high side - with a $17 burger and fries option, with the bulk of the fried seafood options in the $22-25 range. A cheaper choice might be the $16 fish tacos (two of them) but I kind of draw the line at paying $8 for a single taco. Our table ordered a few of the fried options plus a few soda beverages. The food arrived in a reasonable amount of time, and I noticed that the silver metal trays that the food comes on is a bit on the small side, especially considering the prices for each dish. The fried shrimp dish was a big scoop of mega-salty french fries, and 3 average sized deep fried shrimp. Yes - 3 as in 1, 2, 3. That's what - $7+ a shrimp? The two fried fish platters weren't much better portion-wise. My deep fried cod consisted of three modest sized fish-fingers, and not the single luscious chunk of perfectly fried cod I had imagined in my head when ordering. They were fine - but very average and nothing that stood out as life-changing or something to write home about. As mentioned earlier, they must be employing the Little Rascals method where they over salt everything, in hopes that you'll order another beverage to wash down the copious mounts of sodium (I figure about 4+ days worth). The fried catfish platter that rounded out our order was more of the same - thin meager portions of fish on a large bed of mega-salted fries. Small plastic containers of generic pre-made tartar sauce and coleslaw can with each platter. The coleslaw was fine - just very forgettable and perhaps a tad on the flavorless/watery side. All said, was it okay? Yes. Was it anything outstanding that I'd crave and plan my return to have again? No. It is in line with touristy by-the-Sea seafood places that charge an extra couple of bucks because they're "on the water"? Pretty much. You're paying for the view and the 'scene' of sitting on the patio out front to people watch, and not for the food. I kind of hate these places and normally try my best to stay away from them, but every once in awhile, you gotta put on your tourist hat and join the mindless flock. A meager 2 stars outta 5 from me. Instead, I'd stroll around this area on a Sunday when they hold the farmer's market (again - is not what it used to be) and then drive through the tube to Alameda where great dining spots are numerous on Park Street. You can stop at Crab Cove and Crown Beach on the way, for more touristy sightseeing.

There's nothing NOT to love about this place!…read more I made a reservation for date night, as we've wanted to try this place for awhile. The atmosphere is cozy and casual and the service staff are really friendly. In terms of food, we started with a dozen oysters, the smoked trout dip, and the boquerones. The smoked trout dip was outstanding!!! Loved the flavor of it! The Boquerones was also delicious... the oysters were all fresh and can be ordered with horseradish and hot sauce (I think it was Crystal). For mains we ordered the steamed mussels and the grilled shrimp. The mussels were good, though on the smaller side, and the shrimp was delicious, buttery and garlicky. Great combo! To finish I had the Key Lime Pie which was done in a bowl. Great lime flavor and not overly sweet. Overall, a fantastic experience and we will definitely return!

Update: I waited over two weeks hoping Salty Pearl would honor its promise. Instead, I got silence…read more The only thing "salty" was the customer service. If you read other 1-2 star reviews to will find that the owner has a pattern of blaming and harassing customers for their honest reviews instead of having accountability. Thankfully, my bank refunded the charge. Ironically, the best customer service I received came from the company processing the payment--not the restaurant. If accountability matters to you, dine elsewhere. After spending nearly $300 to celebrate my birthday, I had hoped the owner genuinely wanted to make things right. The follow-up was even more disappointing than the birthday lunch itself. After my original Google review, the owner publicly wrote: "Please email me directly... I'll comp your entire meal, no questions asked." I reached out exactly as requested, thanked him, accepted his offer, and asked what information he needed to process the refund. Instead of receiving a direct response, the conversation shifted to why I had posted a public review before contacting the restaurant privately and how it affected his business. I wasn't looking to debate my experience--I was simply taking him up on the offer he had publicly made. I followed up with one straightforward question: whether the promised comp was still on the table. Despite following up, I never received a direct answer. I understand that restaurants don't have to refund every unhappy customer. What changed my rating from 3 stars to 1 star wasn't just the disappointing birthday lunch--it was the difference between the public promise and the private follow-through. For me, how a business handles a complaint is just as important as the original dining experience. ---- I chose The Salty Pearl to celebrate my birthday and left feeling pretty disappointed overall. When making my reservation through OpenTable, I noted that it was my birthday and requested a stroller-friendly table. Unfortunately, neither request seemed to be acknowledged. Similar to what other reviewers have mentioned, there was no recognition of the birthday celebration at all. As a parent, I specifically requested a table with space for a stroller. Instead, we were initially seated next to a large party with virtually no room for one. When I brought this up, I was told to leave the stroller at the other end of the restaurant, which wasn't practical since I needed easy access to my baby's essentials. To their credit, they eventually moved us to a different table, but the interaction felt reluctant rather than accommodating. The service was also extremely slow throughout the meal. While I don't mind dishes arriving one at a time, the pacing felt excessive. There were long stretches of waiting between items, and we frequently had to flag someone down for assistance. The bartender wasn't particularly friendly, which added to the overall experience. The final straw was dessert--we waited so long that we eventually canceled it and left. As for the food, it was a mixed bag. The clam chowder was good, and I enjoyed the Caesar salad. The dressing was light and well-balanced, though I didn't think the extra $8 for the sardines was worth it. The lobster roll was underwhelming, especially given the price. The tuna crudo was just okay and noticeably smaller than it appeared in the photos, and the ceviche was missing hot sauce. The steamed mussels were decent, but the focaccia served alongside them felt like the wrong choice. A crusty sourdough or another crisp bread would have been much better for soaking up the broth. The focaccia was simply too soft. We also ordered the "$12 oysters with the purchase of a bottle of wine" special. After doing the math, I'm not convinced it's much of a deal. Overall, I came in with high expectations, especially after hearing comparisons to Little Shucker. After trying both, I'd choose Little Shucker every time. The food there is more flavorful, portions feel more generous for the price, and the overall experience exceeds expectations rather than falling short of them. Unfortunately, what should have been a special birthday dinner ended up feeling underwhelming from both a service and value perspective.

I really like how they let you build your seafood experience exactly how you want it, from the type of seafood to the seasoning and spice level. The only thing was I think the spice level could've been kicked up a notch. Our table ordered a mix of oysters, garlic noodles, Cajun fries, shrimp, crawfish, mussels, which came with corn, potatoes, sausage and hard boiled egg! The seafood was fresh and the sauce coated everything nicely without being overwhelmingly salty, and the corn and potatoes soaked up all the seasoning. All for a very reasonable price if you get the combo, which comes in 3 different tiers! The oysters were a standout--fresh, briny & I loved all the different sauces like horse radish and cocktail on the side. I do wish the fries were a bit more crispy and could've gone heavier with the Cajun seasoning, but that's personal preference. The atmosphere is casual, lively, and perfect for big groups. If you're looking for a customizable seafood boil with fresh oysters, fun drinks, and plenty of options to build your ideal meal, Rockin Crawfish is definitely worth a visit

I was very disappointed with my recent takeout order. Before placing my order, I specifically asked…read morewhether the crawfish were live, and the waitress told me they were available. Based on that conversation, I expected fresh live crawfish, which was available Tuesday when I ordered from DoorDash the previous time. After I got home and opened my order this time. it was clear that the crawfish had been frozen. If the restaurant serves frozen crawfish, that's fine, but customers should be given accurate information when they ask directly about the product right? I feel misled because I relied on what I was told when making my purchase. Transparency is important, and I hope the restaurant does a better job communicating with customers about whether their crawfish are live or previously frozen. VERY DISHONEST BUSINESS SMH.

Southern Comfort Kitchen has a drive-thru? I'm writing this review to share for those exploring…read moreAlameda Island that Southern Comfort Kitchen has a few locations throughout the East Bay (and many may know this restaurant for its food truck), but they now has a new(er) location in Alameda. As a parent, I never knew how much I would appreciate a drive-thru at spots like Walgreens, Starbucks, and now, an actual restaurant! It's the little things sometimes that really help to take the heavy lift off, while giving back the flexibility and energy to the driver :) While I can't speak for the interior of the restaurant, we did roll through the drive-thru to test it out over the weekend while exploring Alameda and all of its charm. On a Saturday evening it seemed like they were pretty swamped, and no one was responding at the drive-thru window so we figured maybe it was closed. We pulled up and my husband got out of the car to confirm before we pulled away with a worker inside the restaurant and they apologized. Almost immediately someone came to the window and gave us printed menus because we had already passed the digital menu part of the drive-thru. We ordered hush puppies, a fried shrimp po' boy sandwich, mac n' cheese, and bread pudding. Oh wee, we had a feast when we arrived home and reheated everything! I think they may still be working out some kinks, but I'm open to trying the drive-thru again next time we're in town post brewery fun. A drive-thru in the East Bay for Cajun bites? Very cool! I've explored their menu before and wow, that bread pudding! Special. Would go back for that alone to try it hot from the oven!

This place is not it for Cajun food or food in general…read more Being from the south, I was super excited to try this spot, but nothing was good about it. I ordered to-go blackened fish platter with red beans and rice, and a chicken sandwich with fries. It took 30 min for the food to come out and when I opened the fish, it wasn't even slightly warm (mmm, room temperature fish!). What's more disappointing is that everything was severely overcooked and dry and nothing tasted remotely Cajun or appetizing. This place isn't exactly cheap, either. And all I can say about the ambience is it's got a cafeteria vibe. Anyway, I gave it two stars because the front people are at least friendly, but I in no way, shape or form recommend this restaurant.
