    This is my first time trying any Fish and Chips and it was great! I've been seeing it around on TikTok lately. You could either order online or order in store. I came on a late Sunday afternoon around 4/5pm and it wasn't busy. I got the hungry pack which came with a lot of food! For $20, you get 2 fish, fries, and 4 shrimp! The batter on the fish was amazing, super flavorful. I believe the same batter is used for the shrimp. The batter for the shrimp wasn't as tasty as the fish though. The fries could definitely use some work but it wasn't bad. They made the food pretty fast within 10 minutes. There are a lot of seating for a smaller sized restaurant with 2 TVs.

    You know that feeling after you eat some thick and oily fish and chips that got you feeling a bit off after you eat them? That's exactly what you won't feel here because the batter is much more like fried chicken kind've feel and battered perfectly. I'm not trying to say that thick battered fish and chips are bad but this was a nice change. I also like how the filets are long thin which are easy to eat. We got absolutely hooked up with fries too with the fried fish. If I were to do it again, I would do three pieces of fish instead of two. As for the other side I got the mac salad which was not the best, didn't like it at all. My mom didn't either. Would look forward to come back and try their clam chowder and toasted bread. Those looked really good. Inside there was plenty of seating and we were the only ones in there which was surprising.

    The decor is nice with some exceptions. There are a several things here and there that need fixing, decor wise. When I walked in, I'm not exaggerating here, every table had varying amounts of crumbs having not been wiped down so I had to choose a table with the least amount. To the food. I got the fish, shrimp and chips. The following applies to all three. They had some spices but honestly they were mid at best. The breaded fish had a strange texture, kind of mushy. Fish is usually flakey right? The shrimp and chips/fries were mid as well.

    OK, I have to admit I'm biased to like any place that calls itself "Shark Boy", whether it's a fish and chips place, a spa, hotel, whatever. Just seems playful and fun. But how was the food? Fortunately, it was good! The breading on the fish was a little unconventional compared to a lot of fish and chip places - almost like a corn meal, find breading versus the batter bready type. But I liked it. What I really liked was the fish seemed fresh - light and flaky. It seemed like it was freshly breaded and fried, not frozen. It's just that I've been to some places that service fish where the fish inside is soggy, seems freezer burned, and is just a bear to eat. But this was a pleasure to eat. Flavor was pretty typical, but texture and freshness was excellent. And you could pick two sauces (tartar sauce and hot sauce for me!) which is great because I used both. And the sides I picked were the chips/fries and coleslaw and both were very good too. Lots of fries as you can see. Service was businesslike and efficient and they brought the meal to my table versus just calling my name to get it. I like the small touches and they seem like they care about the customer experience, even if it's a more casual place. Just the hand sanitizer on the table was a thoughtful touch which I appreciated. So very much enjoyed it and happy to recommend it.

    Fish Tacos w/ Chips (fries) with Clam Chowder

    This was my first time ever going to this restaurant, and it hit the spot perfectly!! We were craving some thing light and fish is always perfect and anything deep-fried is always amazing, may as well put the two together!! I have a stupid food, allergies, and luckily, for me, the gentleman working behind the counter, Hoodie, went and found their recipe book to find out the exact ingredients of their batter since I'm allergic to monosodium glutamate/MSG. He was such a sweetheart and went through the roller decks of recipes! I was in luck and none of their fish tacos or Clam Chowder had monosodium glutamate, but their signature House sauce was mixed with ranch and another sauce, so I couldn't have that since ranch has monosodium glutamate in it. My foodie friend and I decided to get two different dishes so we could share. I got the fish tacos which were delicious and I love their different assortment of sauces! We also got clam chowder and shrimp with french fries! Goodness everything was so delicious. we were full for the time being, but not overly full!! I really love the playful environment of the atmosphere. There were a bunch of games you could play with your family and I thought that was very inviting for a family like setting. At the front counter they also had little fidget spinners or pop its , You could take free of charge. Lol too funny!! I definitely wanna go back here and try more dishes and sauces!!

    Fish thin compared to breading

    My son really hyped this place up, so I was excited to try it. But unfortunately it was just okay for me. The 2 Hungry meals we ordered were drastically different, one plate was loaded up with fries and giant pieces of fish, and the other had a small handful of mushy fries with overly cooked fish that was so tiny, it was like an afterthought to the coating. They did throw an extra shrimp in the meal, but the grease used to fry it was dirty and the breading was falling off the shrimp. For $27, I just expect better for one plate. The star of the meal was the bang bang sauce. Not sure I'd even revisit this location after such disappointing food at a pretty hefty price tag.

    Pros: - Fish was cooked to perfection. Seasoning was perfect and I love how it wasn't oily. - Shrimp was also cooked perfectly and a good size. - Fries were seasoned well and paired nicely with the fish. - Clam Chowder was loaded and was the perfect consistency. - Self serve kiosk made everything easy to view and order. Cons: N/A

    This place is soooooo good. Tucked in a little area right off the 880 and First st. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, you feel so welcome. I went Friday night and it was so delicious it's all I could think about at work Saturday so I went again! The food is fresh and so delicious. Popping hot even when I picked up and went home with it. It's a must try!

    Stopped by Sharkboy Fish and Chips today to give it a try. The shrimp were good size and cooked well, but didn't have the sweet taste of shrimp. Fish was crispy, a little lacking in flavor, and I think the batter is a cornmeal. 6.8/10. I really enjoyed the fries because they were crispy and flavorful 8/10. The sauces were decent and they have several to choose from.

    Had an amazing experience here last weekend. I've had Shark boy bookmarked for quite some time and I'm really glad I finally got to try this place. The staff was so friendly and informed on their menu. My friend has an MSG allergy and they looked through all the ingredients to make sure she can have each dish/sauce. Hoody was especially nice and hospitable. I love the fish here, it's not battered it's breaded. Light and crispy, not too greasy. The fries are seasoned to perfection and I tried most of their condiments/ specialty sauces and they were all out of this world. For sides I would recommend: fries or their clam chowder which was perfect for this rainy weather. The vibes are more laid back and super family friendly! They have a little play area for the kids and what kid doesn't love a basket of fries ?! Can't wait to make this place part of my weekly rotation.

    Came here since I was craving some fish and chips and seen this place popping up lately. You come in and it's okay looking inside not much wow factor. You order on the Kiosk. Ordered the garlic Parmesan fries, friend shrimp and the fried fish and chips. Food was good but taste got tiring after a while. They have sauces but it was okay as well. They didn't have napkins and when I asked for some the guy said I'll give you this much for now. Wasn't really clean the tables. Their garlic Parmesan fries were mid, it had too much fake garlic sauce on it and just over powering to be honest. Their potato salad tasted like it was from Walmart. Probably won't come again but glad I tried it.

    Becoming a go to spot now also just discovered they have comedy show nights in the back on first Friday!

    5/5 crust and seasoning. The quantity is definitely less for the price compared so some places but the food was fire. The shrimp is so crispy you can even eat the tail. I wish they did give more sauce tho. Would I come back, yea. Service is always p good to and never really crowded.

We arrived on a Saturday evening for dinner. The restaurant is located in a nice newer plaza area in Cupertino off the Vallco Parkway close to where Vallco Shopping Mall once stood. Parking is available in the parking garage in the plaza. The restaurant is medium size but maximizes the space efficiently with plenty of booths and tables for dine in. The modern decor is nice and sleek. Whereas the vibe is bustling and welcoming. We ordered the combo of 2 pounds of shrimp with heads on, garlic noodles, and 2 steamed rice. The seafood boil came out in a large silver bowl instead of the usual large clear bag. I found this to be much better in presentation. Everything was so delicious. The captain Loui sauce was so flavorful and sweet. The shrimp were plump and juicy. Garlic noodles were tasty. A couple of saucy yummy corn and potato were found in the bowl which was a good surprise. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Cap't Loui. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The combo options were a great deal. Free Ice cream popsicles for dessert were a nice surprise at the end. We will definitely be back as their seafood boil is one of the better options in the South Bay.

After watching a review on social media, I decided to try something new. I had to try the cracklin' chicken bites. I ordered the southern fried fish, added the brisket, and the collard greens. After I ordered, I went to the bar to order a gin and tonic. I asked for the Bombay Sapphire gin. Then, it turned into an unreal experience. When I got my drink, I asked the female bartender if she added lemon or lime. She gave me "the look" and said I did not ask for lemon or lime. Taken aback, I told her that I've never had a gin and tonic without lemon or lime. She then replied, "rude". I proceeded to apologize, and then she acquiesced and gave me a garnish. I thanked her and again apologized. She was having none of it. I was in a great mood because I still tipped her. However, it has been bugging me ever since July 25. Hence, my review. Back to the food. My food was delicious, flavorful, and portion sizes were great. In fact, I am taking my parents there today. However, we are going to go to the one on South of Market--just in case I want a gin and tonic. I will be sure to ask for lime this time. :)
