    Great service! The food was really good and well seasoned. We got the king crab boil and it was really delicious. Since we didn't eat pork they let us substitute the sausage for eggs. The only downside were the bathrooms. They had such a terrible smell that it was almost impossible to use them. When we came into the restaurant we realized it smelled a bit weird and I later came to find out it came from the bathrooms.

    Very cool inside, decorated like your at the pier in these elevated cozy booths. Music give great vibes. Service always great, checking to see what we needed even after asking for the bill. Food is good, very fresh. Great happy hour options for both food and drink, including coctails.

    . I got the seafood special for $31, which included half a pound each of shrimp, crawfish, and crab legs. It was a great deal -- the portion was just right and I left feeling full and satisfied. Everything was cooked well: the crawfish weren't soggy, and the shrimp were perfectly done. I asked for mayo on the side; it took a little while to get it since they were a bit busy, but that was the only minor delay. Overall, the food was 8.5/10. I'll definitely be coming back -- this spot is easily one of the better seafood places in my area. There are so many crawfish spots around that sell boils, and most of them use the same kind of sauce. I've enjoyed plenty of them, but some places serve crawfish that are too small or drench everything in too much sauce. This spot, though, had the perfect balance -- good-sized crawfish, a well-seasoned but not overwhelming sauce, and it was all pretty affordable for what we got. Definitely a place to come back.

    Came here to try since it's been rebranded. The inside is trendy and decorated in nautical theme so it was a nice touch. There's also a place to wash your hands right outside the bathroom which is convenient since your hands will be messy despite the gloves they give you. We ordered fresh oysters to start with and they were pretty big in size. All the food started to come in order fast, barely no wait. Butter garlic noodle was flavorful and was a nice side to balance out with the main seafood. We ordered the pier 88 set with extra green mussels and crawfish. It was a big platter of food for the two of us!! We had the Cajun spice for the seafood boil- it was a bit too heavy on the seasoning for us because it overwhelmed everything else. Our server Sam did offer us extra butter to spread the seasoning out more and we should've listened to his advice. But the quality of the food was fresh and seasoning levels can be subjective when it comes to seafood boil, so I'm leaving the review as 5 star. Overall I think this is a casual fun place to have dinner. We really enjoyed Sam's service because his enthusiasm brightened up the place. Try to catch him if you can!

    Can't wait dig into these.... crawfish!!!! With the big bang all Seasonings!

    The service here was pretty good at the bar. The 2 young lady bartenders were nice and attentive. The food came out pretty quick as well. The mozzarella sticks we got for an appetizer were just ok... more of a frozen taste. However the fried catfish and shrimp basket as well as the crawfish and crab boil were tasty. Fried well and boil was not overcooked. A bit of hot sauce did the trick so far as the extra seasoning we desired. Overall the spot was cool... We can tell the place brings a crowd as well!

    I'm excited for this experience. Let's GET IT Pier88!

    This is what a Seafood Spot is all about! Pier 88 at the corner of Walnut Hill & Plano Parkway is an exceptional Boiling Seafood and Bar. Let me tell why! What used to be Boiling Crab, Pier 88 has taken the space and transformed it into an establishment committed to excellence! The atmosphere is electric with a variety of music, several t.v's and a tank with the freshest Seafood for your choosing. An ample bar sits in the middle and ties together the nautical theme. When we walked in, we were greeted by a Hostess and promptly introduced to the specials and Happy Hour. Our server Hannah, was a delight! She patiently took us through the menu and the options that they offered. Hannah was attentive and good spirited. Especially when it took us 10 minutes for a group of 4 to order! Nothing like family reminiscing! As we know, Pier 88 offers the traditional boiled and fried selections that you would expect. However, what really makes Pier unique, is that they offer a Hong Kong Style which consists of fried seafood that is then tossed in a "dry rub" seasoning that specifically compliments their live whole crab and lobster! For today's visit(because there ABSOLUTELY will be more) we ordered a Fried Shrimp Po'Boy w/ cajun fries, Fried Catfish Po'Boy w/fries, Fried Shrimp Basket w/fries, Onion Rings, and 88 Boiled Seafood Bag. The Po'Boy's were picture perfect! Soft, durable, French bread, stuffed with Lettuce, tomatoes, spicy tarter sauce and a side pickle spear. The catfish fillet was well seasoned and piping hot(which applies to all the food). The coating had a snap, that was a beautiful introduction to the moist, flaky interior(nothing worse than dry, overcooked Catfish, which you WILL NOT find here)! The Shrimp Po'Boy was packed with shrimp the size of fifty cent pieces! They were large, golden, and cooked just right! The fried shrimp was the exact same way! Best of all, the tail was removed so you can enjoy the entire bite. The Onion Rings was the stuff of legends! Thick slices of onion in a batter that you typically see on Calamari. It was flaky, seasoned and crisp. Everything a great onion ring should be. Last, but not least, the 88 Seafood Boil(que the intro music), was a 1/2 pound of snow crab legs, 1/2 pound of head-on Shrimp, sausage, potato, and corn. I got the 88 sauce which is a combination of all the seasoning/sauces, medium heat. Oh! It was so good! The crab cluster looked more like king than snow. They were big and full of sweet, juicy, meat! The sausage had a great flavor on it's own, but the sauce complimented it. The shrimp(unlike most shrimp in a boil) was firm, with a clean, almost buttery flavor. The sauce had chunks of fresh garlic which I love and even though it was medium heat, it was balanced with the right combination of flavor and heat. I can't say enough about this new establishment. From start to finish, the service and quality of food is unmatched! If you are looking for fresh and flavorful seafood, look no further. Pier 88 has all you need. Check It Out!!

    Mussels, crab and crawfish...sauce was great and so was the service! We'll definitely be back.

    Ordered a special and substituted shrimp for mussels. The flavor was all mixed and spicy. It was very good and so was the service, we'll definitely be back!

    Walking in the host was super nice, we were seating , the restaurant itself super clean , INCLUDING THE BATHROOM. I love the extra sink area they have to wash your hands. The food was super good , probably the best seafood I've had in a long time ! Hot & fresh !

    Happy hour menu

    Another great visit! The food was so fresh and the beer was extra cold. It was pretty slow inside around 4pm. I don't mind that since the city is always so busy.

    Rodrigo E S.

    Great tasting food.. great customer service. And a good vibe and spot to watch sports and catch a drink. Food was good just prolly got a bad batch of crab since it was empty and hardly had any meat inside of it not sure if over cooked or what but everything else was great!

    Very dry and undercooked potatoes.

    I came because of the positive reviews, but I feel like the reviews are fake. The crawfish tasted like it was a mix of live and frozen crawfish. The crawfish was cooked Cajun style because the Special 88 flavor was not infused into the crawfish tails. If I wanted to eat boiled crawfish with seasoning on top, I could have just gone to a typical crawfish place. The potatoes were very undercooked so they tasted dry. The clams were really bad. I took a photo of a handful of clams that did not even open. This meant that they were dead before they were boiled. The place is actually really nice. It has good music playing and it accommodates large parties. The service was really friendly too. All of this being said, the seafood was really bad. Dallas... Please give honest reviews.

    The service and ambiance was very radiant and welcoming from when we walked in, sat down and spoke to our waiter who was very friendly !!! The only con would be the portion size, they could've gave more for the price. The sauce was amazing. Then, when we first got the bill the server didn't add the last two drinks then when we went to sign the check she said she forgot to add them and ended up double charging us. Definitely recommend Fish N Tails you really get more portion wise and leave with leftovers sometimes. For the same price!!!!

    Great environment, great food, great service. Worth to come back again and again. Highly recommend…read moretheir noodles.

    A spicy chinese noodle shop that far exceeded my expectations…read more Jin was an exceptionally attentive employee who would often check up on us and top off our waters. Excellent service despite having no reason to, since we ordered through a qr code located on the tables. I don't write about customer service unless it was genuinely something that was worth telling people. He gave us a good rundown of the situation of the restaurant and provided an in-depth explanation of the menu for my first time there. He gave us plenty of options to choose from and explained what consisted in each of the dishes. Which helped us ultimately make our choices and I enjoyed every single dish. The interior was well decorated with modern/futuristic reflective aesthetics. A great touch that made me love it even more was the dimming bags put over the spotlights adorned around the ceiling to help cut down on glare and make it a bit more comfortable to enjoy the atmosphere. The mixed vegetable salad was a very pleasant blend of sweet, savory, and Sichuan spice. I originally was going for the cucumber but I was interested in more variety and opted to try more of what they had to offer. It still hit as a refreshing appetizer to complement our other dishes. 9/10 The black pepper noodles were actually amazing with how it balanced out a lot of strong, potentially overwhelming flavors. The black pepper was perfectly seasoning the fiery stir fried bell pepper and noodles. The beef played a great supporting role to elevate the dish without making it all about itself. 8.5/10 The Number 1 rice noodles in soup was powerful without being indulgent. The flavors hit hot and hard but still savory and tastefully diverse. Jin recommended it as the noodles have a very pleasant chew and had a diverse plating with bok choy, pickled mustard, and an egg to top it off. 8.5/10 Overall I enjoyed this place completely and will 100% return when I come back to Texas.

    Mot Hai Ba is an East Dallas gem serving delicious elevated Vietnamese food and creative cocktails…read more We stopped in recently to get our monthly fix and of course everything was amazing. I had two seasonal signatures that were perfect summer refreshers. My first was a pineapple rum cocktail called Lewis Street Daiquiri. The second was a very creative spin on a Negroni made with tequila instead of gin. Lewis Street Daiquiri uses a pineapple rum combined with Yuzu Kosho cordial. A yuzu kosho cordial is a sweet, syrup flavored with yuzu citrus and a spicy Japanese chili paste.It's a creative way bartenders add sweetness, acidity, and a spicy kick to recipes. It definitely had all of that along with a bit of a sour feel to it with some light froth from some vigorous shaking. It's really tasty. The second cocktail is JuJu's Negroni. I've never seen a tequila Negroni variation. They use a Blanco tequila, JuJu's coffee, Pamplemousse (grapefruit), and coconut. JuJu is a local East Dallas coffee shop around the corner from MHB. I love the local touch to use a neighbor's ingredient. I cant remember why is has a red tint given the ingredients, but it must be the combination of the coffee and grapefruit liqueur. I think i remember them saying they clarified some combination of the ingredients, but i cant remember. Regardless, it was delicious ams you should definitely try it. You don't need an excuse to go to MHB because it's one of the best restaurants in Dallas and is Michelin recommended. I would go@back for both of these cocktails like we do for the world famous garlic noodles. Go try these beauties and visit our hood because it's one of the best joints we have to offer in Dallas.

I am surprised despite the popularity, the wait was not long at all and we were able to get seat almost immediately. For the first time, we ordered 2 appetizers - shrimp tempura and gyoza, not particularly outstanding, but they came out fast! As we were diving into our appetizers, the ramen was ready for us. I had the Spicy Miso Special (with mild spice) and my boyfriend had the Hinodeya special with medium spice. I personally like mine better because it was creamy and super flavorful compared to the Hinodeya special. My boyfriend tends to get stomach ache and fee bloated if he eats too much MSG. But he didn't feel any of those symptoms. To him, it was one of the biggest indicators if that is a good ramen or not. For the second time, we ordered takoyaki and karaage. Again, nothing too outstanding. This time, my boyfriend had what I had last time and I ordered the Tonkatsu special (no pic, sorry!). Maybe because of the lack of spice, I still prefer the Spicy Miso Special over Tonkatsu (Tonkatsu ramen is always my go-to in ramen spots). Regardless, we enjoyed our meals very much in both times. I think we have found our go-to ramen spot in DFW area!
