    Complimentary ceviche tostada.
    Karla C.

    The restaurant is very similar to other Mexican Seafood Restaurants in the area. Like others, they have a competition of bands inside so this will make it pretty loud, especially on weekends. The place has multiple TV's all over to watch a game here and there and is great for large groups since it is spacious with a complete bar and good service. Food wise, its pricey, but that is to be expected from a restaurant like this. The only thing, I felt that compared to other similar restaurants, food was not as great. Many of the dishes were slightly overcooked and flavor was lacking a little. It is not horrible, but for the price. I would expect better. Nonetheless, check it out. It is located in a shopping center off of Buford Hwy and though it looks small outside, it is pretty big.

    Excellent service! Nice atmosphere. I ordered crabs and I was very satisfied with my dish. Cindy did a great job with my order. Any concern please, ask for Rose, the Manager, very profesional! Yes I will be back!

    Great Mexican seafood, too many dishes to pick from, everything looks good. I ended up getting the shrimp cocktail and the kora shrimp and squid, amazing, I'm from chicago and when I come down for work, I stop here first.

    My family and I came here on May 10th to celebrate Mothers day and the service was phenomenal our waitress answered all of our questions regarding the menu. They had a variety of seafood dishes for every taste bud ! The menu was very long which was nice cause at most Hispanic seafood restaurants the Menus are not that extensive! I had the Camarones Zarrandiados which were delicious I also had two cocktails a strawberry margarita and a pina Colada which were both very strong and very tasty as well ! The waters are all made of natural fruits I had the pineapple water and it was 100% fresh you can totally tell the difference! The restaurant was very clean and had a modern twist which I really liked it was in between nautical and modern! The bar set up was really cool too they have the bar in the middle of the restaurant and tons of TVs so no matter where your seated you have a perfect view They had a live norteno band going around from table to table like at every other Hispanic seafood joint but I don't know if they always have one or if they had it just for the Mother's Day celebration. Over all our experience was very nice and we will defiantly be back again !

    I called and first asked if the shrimp cocktail contains cooked shrimp and was told they could cook it. So I ordered it and when I got there they said they couldn't. Still paid for it. Order some langostinos and that was the only thing I could eat from my order (pregnancy can't eat raw fish) and I found glass in the langostinos. My bf ate some as well and he also found glass in his food. I was very disappointed, the glass was not small and it was inside the langostinos. Will call in the morning to request a refund. I used to enjoy this restaurant but not after finding glass.

    this place is super cool and a great place to experience authentic mexican seafood! I only came for the drinks. I got a organic margarita mango flavor it was so yummy. There was a spicy salt rim which was so yummy. I then got a sangria and they had muddled fresh fruit in it. If you want a great place for drinks before karaoking, I recommend coming here!

    Food was great and came out within 15 minutes just like she said. Very friendly staff and the establishment was clean and quaint. The food was great and authentic. I can't wait to come back and try the shrimp empanadas and the seafood fried rice.

    Rice

    Terrible service , to start the waitress had her bandaid fall off into my lap, extremely unsanitary and unappetizing. Then, when I went to the bathroom only one sink worked and the other had a trash bag over it, then one stall had the toilet seat missing ? To top it off, they forgot my friends order and brought it out 20 minutes after everyone else's, and then this rice was $4 and as soon as it came out I told them I didn't want it because of how small and unappetizing it looked and they refused to take it back, never coming here again

    The shopping center that Mariscos el sazon del Kora is located brings back memories. There's enough light visibility and well maintained parking lot with plenty of space. Inside, the restaurant has a clean and spacious ambiance with restrooms on both sides of the restaurant. Plenty of seating for small and large groups with a small eating area outside. No worries about catching games because they have plenty of TVs. Service was pretty good esp for the big group that they had to accommodate. Ok so now the nitty gritty of it all - food! Seafood, you don't want to under or over cook it. The mussels are by far excellent. The clam and shrimp were overcooked - chewy. Price vs food - Not a bargain for Buford Hwy standards.

It's usually just walk in unless you get a large amount. Since it was mother's day weekend we decided to reserve one of their "sacks". The rate we got for the "sack" was $4.99/lb. Each sack weighed different. I believe the regular price was $5.49/lb. Still a very fair price for the quality and the size of the crawfish. For our 36lb sack there was probably 15-20 dead crawfish. I would say that's not too bad. It was fun for the kids to see the critters and chase them around with them for a bit. We also got some blue crab. The males and females were priced differently and paid per lb after they were bagged. Another thing is that they do offer ice for the crawfish but I forgot to check if they put it in the bag and they forgot. Luckily they were still fine when we got back to my parents house 1hr away! They also had tanks full of other types of live seafood like shrimp, fish, lobster.. etc. Overall, amazing place to find fresh seafood in bulk!

Since then, we've come back multiple times and tried a variety of their seafood, including the Santa Barbara uni, snow crab legs, and lobster. Everything has been incredibly fresh each time. It is quality you can really taste. What I love most is how consistent they are. Whether you're picking up something simple or splurging a bit, the freshness and selection never disappoint. This has officially become our go-to seafood market for takeout, and I can't recommend it enough if you're looking for fresh seafood without the fuss.

Only 2 couples when we arrived. We were greeted by a pleasant server, he showed us to our table and were quickly brought water. We ordered combo E in mild coconut curry, we requested the sausage to be separate from the seafood. They did that for us. Thank you. We also ordered fries, sweet potato fries, calamari, steamed broccoli, coleslaw and softshell crab. We loved everything we had. My favorite side was softshell crab - done perfectly not oily. We didn't enjoy the calamari as it was too chewy. Wouldn't order this again. The combo E was supposed to be for 2 - 3 people but it fed 6 of us. I'm it we're corn, potato, crab, crawfish, shrimp, mussels. Very tasty. The coconut curry was great too, went well with the steam broccoli

But I checked yelp and saw they were open. They were completely empty. Never a good sign. I was here between 12 and 1 for lunch and I was the only customer. One other party came in while I was eating. But that was it. I did not see any to go orders going out either. Several other yelp reviews said the prices were reasonable and the portions large. I am not sure what you consider reasonable, but I can't pay $40 or more for lunch. So the seafood boils were out. I know crab legs costs money, but that also means they are out of my price range. I went with a fried everything platter for $17. Well the food was really good. Made to order and served fresh and hot. The oysters were perfect, crunchy and creamy at the same time. The shrimp were juicy not overcooked. Everything well seasoned. The hush puppies probably came out of a bag frozen. Sweet style with whole corn kernels. But they were good too. The catfish was I think pre breaded, but well seasoned. Everything tasted great so they immediately went from a 1 to a 3. I can't say it's a great value but they do seem to be priced accordingly considering the cost of fresh seafood. I would go 4 but the empty parking lot and weird vibe just left me a bit uneasy. I would say 4 for food. 1 for atmosphere. 3 stars overall. Try it, but carefully. I plan to return.

Making reservations was incredibly easy through OpenTable, and I was pleasantly surprised by the convenient valet service for only $3. It was an effortless start to what turned out to be an exceptional dining experience. Upon entering, we were warmly greeted by the host and promptly escorted to our table without any wait. Our waiter, Kevin, was phenomenal. He did an excellent job explaining the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations, and making sure everyone's needs were attended to throughout the afternoon. The service was attentive without being overbearing--truly excellent and unforgettable hospitality. We started with the Chargrilled Oysters, Oysters Rockefeller, and Calamari. Everything was satisfying, but the calamari was the standout for me. It had the perfect crunch and was quite literally fried to perfection. I would absolutely order it again. These appetizers are true staples and a great way to start the meal. We also enjoyed several rounds of cocktails. The bartender was able to execute a few off-menu, custom cocktails perfectly, and there were absolutely no complaints from our table. Everything was well-balanced and thoughtfully prepared. For my entrée, I ordered the Blackened Branzino with lemon-herb beurre blanc, paired with whipped potatoes and Vichy carrots. By far, this is one of the best seafood entrées I've had in Atlanta. I've had branzino at plenty of other restaurants, but this one? It clears the competition and has officially claimed the #1 spot on my list. The fish was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the sauce and sides. The rest of our party had equally impressive meals. I had the opportunity to sample the 12 oz. Prime NY Strip, Blackened Salmon, Lobster Mac & Cheese, Brussels Sprouts, Green Beans, and Clam Chowder, and everything was amazing. There wasn't a single dish that disappointed. Overall, this was truly an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Great food, phenomenal hospitality, attentive service, and an atmosphere that made celebrating my mother's birthday feel special. I'm already looking forward to returning--and next time, I definitely want to check out the patio! A true standout for seafood in Atlanta. Highly recommend.

I came on a Friday afternoon during oyster happy hour, and it was packed. There's plenty of tables. However, because it was so busy, I'd recommend making a reservation in advance. I made one and came 5-10 min earlier and we were seated right away. But they gave us the table right next to the door so we'd feel the door opening and closing throughout our dinner. As for food, the $2 oyster deal applies to their regular oysters where you can get them grilled or raw and in either half a dozen or a dozen pieces. The oysters were overall kind of small. Honestly, the grilled oysters were better tasting than raw to me. The calamari was great though. However, the breading easily fell off. The garlic aioli is a good addition for more flavor combos. I wish the sauce could have been a little bit spicier but that's a personal preference. I tried their draftburger beer which on happy hour is $5. It's a good light beer if that's what you're into. Not bad. Cocktails were ranging $10-20. This place takes pride in their service and attitude - and you can tell from how they dress and how they run things. It's definitely a place to come back for whether it's for the oysters again or other entrees.

I had tried a seafood boil from here a while back, and the sauce wasn't as good as what I've had from a local competitor. However, my boyfriend insisted that we give it another try, so we ended up ordering the Kickin Combo #1, along with a dozen raw oysters and an order of fried oysters and fries. The raw oysters came out first. I didn't want any, so they were for my boyfriend. Immediately after trying the first one, he wasn't happy with it. He said it tasted fishy but decided to give another one a try, thinking maybe the first was just a bad one. Unfortunately, the second wasn't any better, so he sent them back. Next came the fried food, which is never a miss. I absolutely love the fried oysters here. Then the seafood boil arrived, and at first glance, it looked promising. The seafood appeared large and fresh. I grabbed a shrimp first, sucked the head, and immediately noticed a strong fishy taste. I then dipped the shrimp into the sauce, but the sauce was watery and lacked flavor. I tried a few of the other items in the boil, including a mussel, but the texture was extremely chewy. Between my boyfriend and me, we ate a total of about ten or less things from the boil before deciding we were done. Unfortunately, it was not good whatsoever, and I was extremely disappointed. I asked if there was anything that could be done, and the manager offered to reheat it. I explained that the temperature wasn't the issue but the fishy taste and the texture of the seafood. He then said there wasn't anything else he could do besides take 20% off the bill. While I appreciated the discount, it was still disappointing given how much of the meal we were unable to eat. The service itself was good, and the ambiance was chill, especially since we went during dinner. Unfortunately, though, the food quality of the seafood boil and raw oysters overshadowed the positives for me. All in all, I won't be returning.

Maybe it's because we went towards the end of lunch, but I would still expect the food to be fresh since they transition right into dinner. Upgrading for $20 is not worth it. The sushi selection is extremely limited and there's also very limited additional wagyu on that menu that you can't already get from the regular all-you-can eat display. For an additional $20, I expected a lot more options and they claim there's these sushi/sashimi options when explaining it to us when in reality, it's only 3 hand rolls available to order.
