I wish she had told us this sooner, as we had to place a new order for my in-laws while we were almost done with our own food. strange that they were out of snow crab legs and dungeness crab so early in the evening and with so few customers. also the restaurant is freezing cold, dingy, and dark, which adds to the over all unpleasant dining experience. definitely skip this place!

The Honey Lychee Soju was a sweet but balanced drink. I split the Friend's combo with two people and this was plenty of food that could've been split between 4 to 5 people, the lobster tail was an added item. The combo came with potatoes, sausage, corn, a side of garlic cheese noodles and sweet potato fries!! Everything was good and fresh. The garlic noodles reminded me of a spaghetti with alfredo, that is made better if you add a little of the seafood boil sauce to it. The Original Cajun with mild heat had just the right amount of seasoning and heat. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal!

It was a little confusing finding the location since it is actually inside Hibachi Grill & Supreme Buffet, you just need to ask for the seafood boil menu. Staff was nice, but that really is the only good thing about this place. The seafood boil itself was pretty bad.... We ordered the family combo which came with 1lb snow crab legs, 1lb shrimp, and 1lb clams in the garlic butter sauce, medium spicy. There was no flavor at all and the clams tasted a bit rubbery... Some of them were not cleaned out properly so it was sandy as well. With french fries, a soda, tip, and tax, the total came out to about $65, which isn't terrible compared to other places. But I would definitely drive a little bit further next time for better seafood boil

We ordered a kalbi burger with gumbo and a kimchi jambalaya. The flavor was just amazing. I had the burger and the combo of burger and the sauces and flavors it has combined with the gumbo was just perfection! The patty was perfectly cooked. A medium cook on the meat was so juicy and very well seasoned. The gumbo was just perfection. My husband had the kimchi jambalaya and I will say, for someone that doesn't like kimchi this was so well made. Not too over powering ... I liked it when I tried it. My husband loved it!

Stopped by after work but unfortunately happy hour was over at that point (I think we arrived at 6:30PM ish). Did not make a reservation but were sat down super quickly. The service was quick and attentive. Loved the ambiance and theme throughout the establishment. The bar in the front still gave that grove street vibe. We ordered Combo A (crawfish and headless shrimp) with their special seasoning plus fried catfish with sweet potato fries. Those sweet potato fries were amazing, best I've ever had. They were seasoned so well, I think cajun seasoning, and nicely crisp. The boil was good, wish it came with more of the sauce/seasoning. I liked the shrimp but was not a fan of the crawfish. Definitely going to return to try a different combination..

It really shows in every order What impressed me even more--tonight I ordered delivery all the way to Uptown Manhattan (over 30 minutes away ), and the food still arrived tasting just as fresh and delicious as dining in. That's not easy to pull off, but they nailed it. That said, if you can dine in, I highly recommend it--especially the Combo 5 lbs seafood platter for $130 . It's perfect for sharing and gives you the full experience of what they do best. From flavor to consistency to service, Aqua Boil and their team truly stand out in NYC's food scene.

The menu changes depending upon which ingredients are fresh, so I plan to return to try out some of the other possibilities.

Good flavors, but a few misses!!!…read more Hook & Reel has some solid Cajun seafood flavors, especially if you enjoy bold seasoning and messy, hands-on meals. The seafood boil was enjoyable overall, and the portions were decent for the price. That said, the experience felt a bit inconsistent. Some items were well-cooked, while others were slightly overdone, and the seasoning wasn't evenly distributed. Service was friendly but a little slow during our visit, and the dining area could have been cleaner. Overall, it's an okay spot if you're craving Cajun-style seafood, but there's room for improvement to make it a more reliable choice.

Yes, it's hot outside, but when kids are in the restaurant you still have to be considerate because they can easily get sick from it being too cold. Our server, Samantha E, acted like we were bothering her the entire time. Her attitude was off from the start, and anytime we brought up an issue she made it seem like we were the problem for speaking up. One thing that really bothered me was when our food had to be sent back. In any restaurant, if something is wrong and gets remade, customers should receive the full order back. Instead, she told us, "Well since you already took two to try, you only get four wings." That was completely unprofessional. On top of that, Samantha E kept turning around making remarks to her coworkers -- a dark skin girl with glasses and a Spanish girl with curly hair -- and they kept staring over at us while we were explaining our issue. We were not complaining just to complain; we had valid reasons. Overall, the experience made me wish I had just gone to get tacos like I originally planned. Samantha E seriously needs retraining on customer service and professionalism. and the seafood boils had no sauce we had to ask for extra sauce. They made sure we did not get charged but now since we left or since we paid. and in the picture above where you see the computer, they were standing right there, but since we paid they moved.
