We are on a road trip and I found this restaurant on the map and it seemed interesting. Some of the…read morereviews about service had me nervous but we figured it might be fun none-the-less. We were greeted kindly at our arrival and seated immediately. Our waitress, Patty, was at our table within seconds. She was extremely sweet and very attentive and returned frequently to the table to check on us and offer drink refills. Our food arrived quickly, was hot, and was perfectly fine. No, it is not fine dining, but that's not what we were looking for. Best of all was the check, which was incredibly reasonable for what we got. We will remember this as an excellent stop on our trips north.

They offer cocktails which I ordered and they were good, nothing fancy but I don't think anyone expects fancy when they come to eat boiling seafood. They seafood boil seasoning was amazing. Let's talk about the price... some of the best pricing, much cheaper than other spot I've been to.

For one reason or another, he just wasn't able to get our attention, which is weird considering we are all sitting around him and he's playing with fire. I also recommend ordering the food with less butter and soy sauce, since places like this tend to be heavy handed with both. The restaurant has made an interesting choice to offer soup OR salad with your $40 meal. It comes across as stingy, but I've been to places where the table gets overcrowded with plates and bowls so I didn't mind too much. One thing to note about the place is they do not have an exhaust above the grill. Instead, the exhaust vent is at grill-level. Your clothes will reek of smoke either way but I could definitely see people with asthma having difficulty at this place.

Buckle up, I rarely have to do reviews like this…read more This teppanyaki spot on Miracle Mile is a classic case of "small but promising." The location itself is compact, but surprisingly well laid out. When we walked in, I was impressed by how many teppanyaki tables they were able to fit into the space. There's also a small bar seating area that feels quaint and appropriate for the size of the restaurant, and their alcohol selection was surprisingly wide. Unfortunately, the experience unraveled once service began. When we arrived, there were only about six people in the entire restaurant. The same young woman was acting as both the server and bartender for everyone. She took our drink order right away, brought waters, and gave my husband his Starry. After that, things stalled. Two more guests walked in, and she greeted them, brought menus, took their drink orders, made their drinks, and continued helping other tables while my drink never appeared. After about 15 minutes, I asked where my drink was. She said she would make it right away, but then continued helping other tables directly in front of us at the bar. When I asked again, she finally mentioned they were out of one of the ingredients for my drink... soda water--something that should have been communicated much earlier. For context, we ordered the spicy edamame, the smoked unagi roll, and the shrimp and steak teppanyaki meal with an extra side of steak. Our bill ended up being over $140, so this wasn't exactly a quick, inexpensive bite. Service continued in the same pattern. She took our food order, the food came out, waters were refilled, but none of the sauces we had requested ever arrived. We were never asked how the food was, and we eventually had to ask for the check ourselves. To be fair, the server was polite and sweet whenever we did interact with her. However, the overall service fell well below basic expectations for both a bartender and a server. Being friendly doesn't make up for missed orders, lack of communication, and long waits--especially in a nearly empty restaurant. The food itself was decent, but the customer service overshadowed the entire experience. Personally, I would rather have a mediocre meal with fantastic service than a decent meal paired with frustrating service. Overall, the experience was disappointing enough that I won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this location to others. If this is how they've been operating for as long as they've been open, it's honestly surprising they've maintained a customer base at all.

I didn't think I would ever say something had too much garlic. The shrimp and garlic noodles were actually inedible. I was able to eat the shrimp, but I had to leave the noodles. I felt like I was biting into cloves of garlic, instead of noodles. The cornbread and banana pudding were ok, but nothing to write home about. There were no utensils or napkins in the bag either.

I rated this one higher than the Livermore location one because considering the options around and…read morehonestly the overall quality seemed a bit better. This place felt like a really elevated Applebees. And I don't use that derogatorily, and I know I used that same analogy before. But this type of elevated is actually more closer to an evening celebration out and you dress kinda noice or church nice. I like the corn bread, the steak, and coconut shrimp. Service is on point. It's a big place with lots of parking, I'd reserve if you can. I'd go back but honestly it's kinda expensive to keep going back so often which I said this is like church nice / evening out. There's a bar with tv too so can be a cool spot to watch the game at. This is a nice date night spot too with some good wine selection

They've been around for over 30 years so that's a statement on its own. Place is big (lots of seating), bright with natural light. Service casual with a nice wine/cocktail menu, cloth napkins and bread service. The early evening visit I went was super quiet and it seemed like the servers knew all the regulars in there. I like that vibe. Glass of Pinot Gris ($10/4.5*) Anytime I travel around and dine I try find if a local wine is available. I saw they had this unique white wine from a Lodi winery so I immediately went with that. Cool, crisp, slight stone fruit aroma with a minerally finish. Love those traits in a white wine with seafood. Cajun Shrimp ($20/3.5*) Upon arrival for the price I initially thought it was an iffy portion for the price. 6 smallish shrimps (1 n a half bites per shrimp). Very simply prepared, grilled lightly with just a smidge of cajun seasoning then served with 2 sauces (a cocktail and tartar). But as I ate these, I did start to like them more and more. The seasoning was not bold but did work well with the grill flavor. And a dab of creamy tartar sauce complimented the spiced-grill flavor nicely, and it paired super nice with the pinot gris. These ended up being better than I had initially perceived. Clam Chowder (4.5*) I chose a cup of chowder as it comes with an entree. A salad can also be had if you wanted. But I found their chowder to be quite ideal. Perfect creamy texture without being too thick and stodgy, and great presence of potatoes and tender clams. The flavor could be more briny/clam-y but that's just my preference. Great with a dab of Tabasco and a dip from their hearty table bread. Snapper Filet ($24/4*) Thin filet seasoned very mildly if any at all. Chose for it to be grilled versus fried or sauted. But you have choices here which I applaud. But it was so mild that I took a half pat of butter and melted it on top of the filet, sprinkled with salt and a squeeze of lemon. Totally amped up the dish. Next time I think I'll try a more involved dish like a seafood pasta. Served with nicely steamed veggies and red potatoes which I find comforting with simple seafood. Too full for dessert and their offerings did look promising. I visit my retired aunt and uncle in this town a couple times per year. I think I'm gonna include this place as part of our options for dining outs. See ya again Bud's, well played.

It was like sleeping on a mattress someone else had made a crater in. See you in two months!

My annual tradition is going to The Crab Zone for my birthday. The Crab Zone is one of the original…read morecrab restaurants in Stockton before others started popping up here and there. I've tried most of them and they just can't match the creamy garlic butter sauce on the crab that The Crab Zone has perfected. I always order the Dungeness crab (garlic butter of course) and my daughter ordered the traditional and zesty, Spicy Cajun sauce. I have to say, the crabs were pretty good in size, very meaty and very tasty. We ordered the fried calamari for an appetizer which tasted freshly made. We both ordered the peach lemonade that had fresh pieces of chopped peaches in the drink. Very tasty. The crab comes with choices of corn, potatoes and sausage that you expect in a crab boil. The hot link sausage is my favorite. I also ordered a side order of the garlic noodles. I love garlic noodles but these are a little thin and dry and don't preserve as well when cooled down. I would love to try the shrimp, mussels and clams but the crab was more than enough. The service is spectacular. The owner is so nice. Her kindness makes her my secret crush....but let's just keep that between us. The ambience is trendy, sporty, divey -just perfect for the locals and regulars. They were playing a nice soundtrack and had the World Cup playing on the tv. While everything about The Crab Zone is spectacular - the Dungeness crab is a bit pricey. $250 was the price tag (not including tip) and about $40 more than last year. But no complaints because The Crab Zone is delicious.

To be honest, I haven't been here in years because I was never a fan of their seafood boil sauce…read more Saw their instagram recently and decided to give it a try again. Garlic noodles - 5/10 too plain. If they add the garlic sauce from the Cajun wings, that would definitely elevate the whole dish! Cajun wings - 7/10 it was good with the garlic sauce that's came on it Crawfish - 10/10 they were big and tasted fresh! Shrimp - 9/10 head on shrimps were really big! Lots of flavor. My only dislike was the sauce. Extremely too watery for my liking. The spice level is there, and the flavor is there in the boil water. I am more of a saucy, Cajun, garlicky person. Overall... Service was great. Vibes are cool inside. Thank you Crab Zone!
