I ordered 6 Pieces of Korean Fried Chicken, with the Seafood Platter. (Oysters, Scallops, Shrimp) It tasted just as amazing as it smelled. The Korean Fried chicken was glazed beautifully, and was very sweet and savory. It had an amazing crust, and the 6 pieces was well priced. The Seafood Platter was all done Tempura style, breaded and fried. Each piece was so juicy, especially the scallops. I was expecting to finish the 6 pieces and seafood platter in one go, but it took over two meals. The portions were great for what I had paid.

Came here for some seafood while visiting Richmond. The restaurant is located in a strip mall with…read moreplenty of parking. Due to COVID, the place had tables and chairs for inside dining, but they were stacked to the side and they only offered pickup orders. We ordered the fish and shrimp platter, which came with fries or coleslaw. We got the fries. We were a few minutes short of the lunch special, where you could get the the same thing, for 3 dollars cheaper (we paid 9 and some change), but with smaller portions. The kitchen is located near the front register and you can watch while your food is being prepared. The menu is, of course, heavy with seafood options in addition to steamed crabs and crabmeat for sale. The fish was thin and fried perfect and crispy. The shrimp as well. Fries were golden and good as well. All in all, a good place to grab a quick bite of seafood when in the area.

I am kind and generous in my critique and try to maintain a professional decorum. With that said, I ordered four pieces of Whiting, sweet potato fries, green beans, and three chicken thighs. All of it was garbage!!! I expected four normal-sized pieces of fish, but instead, I received cut-bite-sized fish. The grease that was used to fry this fish was not fresh. My chicken thighs looked and tasted like they had been cooked some days ago. I received approximately 11 fries, and the green beans came straight out of the can with no seasoning. I understand that we live in trying times, but this is ridiculous. Usually, I would give restaurants the benefit of the doubt, but I can honestly say this is a one-and-done for me.

It was around 21$ which is typical buffet prices. I don't think I got my moneys worth because I'm not a big seafood (crab/fish/lobster) girl. If you are, THIS IS the PLACE for YOU! The hibachi line was too long to wait for. However, there were soooo many options. Lots of yummy stuff. Our waitress was so nice, keeping drinks full and clearing old plates. The decor all over the restaurant is neat! Makes for a good atmosphere. They keep the restaurant pretty clean which is essential. Overall it's a great place, just not for my preference.

First and foremost, save your time and don't even walk into this place. I mean that for dining in…read moreand picking up. I wish I could give ZERO stars. Where do I begin? First, I want to acknowledge their intentions with serving the community they're in. I understand that every business wants to survive and attract customers, but at what cost? The music choice felt intentional in a way that seemed to invite the kind of energy that leads to negative interactions in the establishment. They could easily consistently play R&B or classic hip-hop and create a better atmosphere. My community doesn't need anyone coming in stirring up trouble and tearing down the goodness we are doing for the sake of financial gain. Situations erupt there often and there is no one to blame but them. You get what you put out. Second, the outside of the building was dirty and smelled strongly like cigarettes before I even walked in. Trash was visible as well. Now onto the food. Honestly, you're better off making your own boil bags at home. We ordered multiple bags with "The Boom," which is supposed to be all of their seasonings mixed together. Instead, it tasted like oily dirt. I mean ZERO flavor. I was genuinely upset because we spent almost $100 and the bags and ate two bites. I'm getting mad all over again just thinking about it. I also ordered the fried oysters. The fry on them was actually perfect, but once again, the seasoning was completely missing. At that point I felt like filing a missing seasoning report with the police because how does everything come out with zero flavor? I mean, you're right next to Walmart for goodness sake! The same thing happened with the fries. They were so bad I would have rather been handed a plain baked potato. Overall, 0 out of 10 recommend.
