If you're into cooking fresh seafood at home, this is the place. I went for my favorite sashimi,…read morewhich is abalone and geoduck but they have a lot of other live options like fish, crab and lobster to prepare at home. Even frogs! Didn't realize this, but they will prepare the items for you like take the abalone out of the shell and clean the geoduck for you so all I had to do was slice and eat. Saw them doing the same for some fish, which was cool. Be sure to tip them if they do prep for you. Prices seemed reasonable to high, but considering my favorites are difficult to find, price was really no object. I wish I didn't have such expensive taste or I'd be back weekly :). Language is a bit of a barrier but can get by with pointing and basic English. Pro tip: ample parking in back or street parking right up front.

Amazing food, vibes and service! We went here on recommendation from a friend and thoroughly…read moreenjoyed it. I ordered the Mac n' chowder, and it was a perfect mixture of clam chowder and Mac n cheese in a bread bowl. It was definitely a unique dish! The rest of my party ordered the traditional pan roast with assorted seafood, and after tasting it, I wished I had more room in my stomach! While I don't eat oysters, everyone else did and I heard nothing but good things. They even ordered another dozen (for a total of 3 dozen)! Service was fantastic. We were also able to call and get our names down for a reservation, which I'm glad we did since it started getting very crowded with a long wait during dinner time. There's plenty of parking in the lot and below ground parking structure. I would 100% come back here again and recommend it to others!

As fate would have it, I ate here with my parents instead of the originally intended dinner…read moredestination, Baek Jeong. Because the wait time was too long for that, we decided to try The Dive Oyster Bar -- and man are we sure glad we did. We got a total of five items: a bowl of clam chowder, the soft shell crab appetizer, the roasta, the traditional pan roast with the house speciality protein (with the crab on the side because of my dad's crab allergy), and the jambalaya, which for the last three we ate with medium heat. We shared everything (except for the crab appetizer because, again, crab allergy for dad) and found the food to be delicious, with each entree coming out tasting better than the last. Personally, the roasta was my favorite with the pan roast as a close second. Very flavorful dishes with medium heat being a good level for us (wasn't spicy for our Korean palates). Service was great, our server (unfortunately forgot his name) was attentive and quick with our requests, and although he forgot a side of rice, it was for the best as the food had settled in our stomachs by then and we were content with what we ordered. The restaurant itself is well maintained with ample table space and appropriate lighting, though the music from the evening DJ was a tad bit too loud to hear from across the table. Not a big mood killer for us, though mostly because the good was that good. We're not from this area, so the odds of coming here again are relatively slim -- but should the opportunity present itself, it'll be more than fate this time to take us through these doors once again.

I came here for snails and their egg yolk sauce was phenomenal. Highly recommend this sauce! I ordered fried chicken feet and while the flavor was good there isn't much meat after the frying so I probably wouldn't get it again. Congee was flavorful as well. I also tried the bun bo hue. It was good but not the best I've had. Personally I thought it could use a little more funk/shrimp paste. I love that they gave generous amount of rau ram leaves with every order. It's one of my favorite herbs! The pandan milk tasted super fake and it was an unappetizing spray paint green color. That was the only let down.

Ok, ok, let's try the other best seller items! No problem because the menu is huge so I re-focused. Oysters, snails, scallops, shrimp, lobster. So many choices for my big eyes. Here's what we got, based on other reviews, and they were not wrong! Mango and Squid salad - get this, get this, get this!! Perfect balance of the grilled squid, green mango, apples and citrus dressing. Oh yeah, love the prawn chips on top too . Childhood memories of good prawn chips. Grilled Scallops with salted egg, garlic oil, and scallion. I can't even tell you what number it is on the menu. Came on a pretty shell and hot platter. I just said Grilled Scallops. Grilled Shrimp, garlic and chili. Perfectly grilled, the shell full of flavor at first bite. Comes with green sauce that was hot but a good hot. Bun Bo Hue - the broth was really good and the portion was generous with the meats. I love tendons, and the cube of pork blood!Made me happy. Others have said it's not good here but I thought it was one of the better ones in the area. I would order it again. Parking can be a nightmare here because the lot is small shared with other businesses. The servers hustle here! They were very nice and efficient and we had no issues with them. Will definitely return so I can try their razor clams!! Quality of food is very good. But need to bring 10 more friends just to try more!

Definitely a spot you come to on special occasions as it is pricey. We came with a reservation for…read more9 people, and they had everything ready for us when we arrived. We ended up getting a set for $168 this time, which came with 6 dishes. It's also $35 per lb for lobster, and I asked for the smallest one. Apparently, the smallest one was 4.8 lbs, which was another $168, so I'm not sure if they upsold me. Anyways, the food was fantastic and everyone enjoyed it. This is what I thought about the food we got. House Seafood Soup - Simple and clean soup. Good portion, and it was soothing to eat. Lots of squid. (4/5) Clams with Spicy Sauce - Large clams with tons of meat, and the sauce was fire. Always a good choice. (5/5) Crab with Salt & Pepper - Loved the seasoning, and the flavors were solid. (4.5/5) Thai Style Beef Stew - First time trying this, and it was good. A bit different, but the meat chunks were tasty and the overall flavors were good. (4/5) Sautéed Pea Sprouts - Nicely done vegetable dish. It's simple but refreshing with good flavors. (4/5) Fried Whole Fish - This dish was gone so fast because it was delicious. Nicely fried and not overly seasoned. (5/5) Signature Lobster - I feel like you have to get this here since it's their specialty. It's pricey, but in my opinion, it's the best and freshest lobster in town. Tons of green onions, seasoned well, fresh meat, and lots of lobster roe. (5/5) Service was good, and they didn't automatically add a mandatory tip for a large party. The total came out to around $364, which is pricey, but the food was phenomenal. Parking - Valet only, but they have street parking in front. I parked on the street since there were plenty of spots on a Wednesday, but I assume it gets busy on weekends.

We watched several groups get seated without even having a number while many of us had already been waiting for over 30-40 minutes. It was extremely unfair, I will never come back again. 親眼目睹好幾組客人根本不用排隊直接進去讓我們覺得自己在外面等了40幾分鐘像傻瓜一樣，如果一間餐廳要做到這樣乾脆只接熟客算了，離譜到一個不行。 另外服務生全程都臭臉，以前都不會這樣，真不知道是換老闆了，還是服務生們全換了？我應該是再也不會回去了，開了一個小時特地去吃，換來無情的對待。

I usually place an order through their Instagram DMs a few weeks in advance for holidays. You can ask for their excel spreadsheet and they'll send it to you with prices and this same spreadsheet updates every year! There is also a little deposit for holiday pick up depending on the size of your order. Their sashimi platter is beautiful, fresh, delicious, and always a party favorite. I usually get: Salmon, Toro, Yellowtail, Scallops, and Oysters. If available, uni trays and fresh wasabi (which can also be picked up at HMart). Scallops are my favorite but every piece of fish is so good and cut perfectly. Parking and pick up is easy. It is a very small store front with one party inside at a time and pay at the counter. Highly recommend for party platters for fresh sashimi.

Two weeks before my event, I texted Danny to confirm that everything was good and to go over final details. He completely ghosted me--day after day--until Sunday the week before my event. That's when he finally responded and told me he had double-booked my date. He then tried to blame a "booking agent," even though I booked with him directly and paid him directly. To make it worse, he tried to send me to a different location 20 minutes away. After being ignored for weeks and having to chase him down myself, I had zero confidence trusting him again. The worst part? He still has not returned my deposit. Despite canceling on me, he has refused to give my money back, leaving me with no choice but to pursue legal action just to recover what I'm owed. This was extremely unprofessional, stressful, and costly. If you're planning an event, be very careful. Based on my experience, this business cannot be trusted to honor bookings or communicate responsibly.
