Deliciously prepared shrimp, dumplings an bulgogi were our lunch today. The service is always very fast and the owners are very friendly. This is a bit of a hidden secret near the airport. Get their kimchi, it's so good. read more

OMG if u are in the area u must try this place. My boyfriend and I always meet in the area and I found this hidden gem. Seafood seafood seafood. Crab legs..shrimp,fish etc. Really good.the hush puppies and coleslaw. Yumm I also ordered Shrimp fried rice and I must say that's the best rice I have ever had!! The owners (I assume) very very nice. I came in an hour to close and they served me without hesitation. Before they bag your stuff they show you what u have in there. I definitely will be back when I am in the area!! read more

You need to try this place! I'll bet you become a regular. The seafood is fresh, cooked properly and just down right tasty. You can't beat the prices either. For just under $10 I got the fish and shrimp and I could not finish it. The family that runs it is also great, the lady is so sweet and makes sure you are a happy customer. I didn't try any of the Korean dishes this time but if the seafood is any indication it should be excellent. read more

I know my bulgogi and this is one of the most tender and most flavorful one I've had except when my mom makes it. The shrimp fried is excellent. Must go again when I'm in this area. read more

Neat little hole in the wall place that doesn't look like much but the food is incredible. I got the shrimp fried rice and my husband got the fish and shrimp with fries and rice. The shrimp fried rice was delicious and very fresh. My husband really liked the fish, shrimp, and fries, but he said the rice was super dry and I think the lady made it in the microwave when we ordered. Over all, great restaurant, but stay away from the side of rice. read more

Dissapointing. When I saw the restaurant labeled as 'Korean' I was really expecting actual Korean food. I was sadly disappointed when I walked in to find that EVERYTHING here is fried. I even asked if they could could grill anything, and the nice Korean lady said the only thing grilled was the shrimp in the shrimp fried rice. So I tried that, the fried scallops, and the dumplings. The scallops were decent and the dumplings were passable, but the fried rice was literally dripping with grease. I picked out all the shrimp and they were fine but the fried rice was the greasiest fried rice I've ever seen and I couldn't eat much of it. So if you're looking for a place for fried seafood and a couple very Americanized Asian dishes you may like this place. If you're looking for Korean food or anything resembling a healthy food option, stay away. A caveat of this review is I only ate the seafood they prepared, the fresh seafood they sold to go looked quite good so I can't knock that. read more

Found this place by doing a search for "Korean" food on yelp, and since I do like the k-pop group "Sistar" (main reason) I decided to check the place out. I was pleasantly surprised by the price and quality of the seafood....and reminded of how much the cost of living sucks in the bay area/California. Wouldn't mind moving here, but I don't want to melt. Everything tasted fresh. The items I had when I visited were the Korean Fried Rice (as a Korean, it reminds me of what mother makes), the Dinner Combo (fresh!), and the Kimchee. For people who haven't tried the kimchee, it probably won't be too bad. The owner didn't make it too spicy or strong...very tame flavors and didn't add stuff that probably won't cause bad breath haha. The owners are nice and cheerful, and got to know them a little when speaking Korean with them. If I ever visit this area again for work, I'll probably stop by. read more

I'm so glad I got to stop by at this place before I left Virginia. You can't find a lot of Korean BBQ places in VA, and especially not a place that is exceptionally delicious. Their crabs were amazing, as well. YUM! A must go to place for korean food and seafood. I'm finishing up this review that I started last winter break. This is probably the first place I will go to when I visit VA again. read more

I tried SiStar for the first time last night and was very pleasantly surprised. The prices are great, service is excellent and the food is delicious. My boyfriend and I arrived about an hour before closing and were greeted warmly. Since we had never been, we asked about the popular dishes and were given a run down of the menu. We ended up ordering the shrimp fried rice and the chicken bulgogi. Both were amazing and we'll definitely be back! read more

Good food, high quality, and great service. I don't think the area is meant for dine in, but it is clean! The food was just about as good as it gets for fried seafood! read more

This place is absolutely delicious. Reasonable prices, super quick service and insanely delicious! The seafood platter is a great combination of everything but their crabs seem to be the go to. No matter what you get you will be making a wonderful decision. read more

Delicious food and friendly staff. The bulgogi reminded us of the quality food found in Korea. Enjoyed our visit.

Went here today for the first time. Ordered 1 lake trout, which they cleaned and it was fine. Ordered 2 lbs of steamed shrimp. What a joke! The shrimp are probably the poorest quality that I ever had. Just terrible. Will never return. Should have known when the placed reeked of old grease. Total grease pit read more

I went here based on the yelp reviews and I figured I arrived at the right place when I saw the line out the door. The line moved fast and within 10 minutes, I placed my order. The lady at the cashier was so friendly and welcoming. We ordered the bulgogi, shrimp fried rice, seafood dinner platter, and a pound of spiced shrimp. It is mainly a to go location, but they do have tables and chairs if you decide to eat there. We were hungry so we couldn't wait! While we were eating, the lady gave us some pickled vegetables that her sister made to go with our bulgogi. Homemade Korean food? Yes please. The seafood was also delicious and piping hot! Needless to say, I'll be back. read more

This place is awesome! The food is great and customer service is on point. Owners are very nice! A must try for Korean BBQ, seafood and Chinese. read more

Holy moly! This place was great. Of course you are eating at one of a handful of tables in an actual working seafood market so don't expect much by way of ambiance. Service is via the counter and you bus your own tables. The seafood was great and the Korean bulgogi was as good as the rice side dish. We were traveling through so we are not likely return, but I wish a place like this was closer to home. Highly recommend SiStar. read more

Great food! Great service! I've tried almost everything here and haven't had a bad experience. I especially like the bulgogi. The lady at the register is so nice and accommodating. I always order a jar of kimchi to take home. Highly recommend! So glad to have this jewel in the east end of RVA. read more

great great tasting and price! i came to this town for training, checked yelp, take a try...i am happy that yelp helps me to loacte a such great tasting store. all sea food are fresh, 5 pieces oyster and scallop plus nice rice and veg...only 8.99. so, i ordered double! i ate one in the store, and took one to my room, i am enjoy it in my hotel room later night! read more

SiStar Seafood - oyster amd scallop - Korean Near Me - Henrico, Virginia

Tried this as a recommendation of a friend. I should fight him. This was extremely average bland greasy seafood at best. The grease tasted like it hasn't been changed in years. I brought some to my office for my people and they were upset with me...true story read more

Amazing food. Typical seafood and fish options. Everything is well seasoned and prices are great for the food you get. The best part of the experience is the lovely lady who checks you out. She is so sweet and always smiling. It's her customer service (along with the food) that keeps me coming back. read more

Crabs were so GOOD & meaty! Crabs were juicy!! I got males & they tasted very good! Also, the lady that works there showed me how to store them in my car so that they wouldn't get soggy. She taught me a great tip! read more

I decided to stop by SiStar Seafood for lunch during the week. Once I enter the seafood shop, a lady working behind the counter said "OMG, you're so tall. I know you played basketball" lol she was really sweet. I always appreciate nice and down to earth owners/employees. Korean BBQ is the reason I came to SiStar Seafood (read some reviews).I knew Korean BBQ was a no brainer but choosing sides wasn't as easy. The lady recommended I try Bulgogi with steamed rice and kimchi. She said "the rice and spice from kimchi blends well with the Bulgogi". I'm glad she recommended the Bulgogi and sides because my meal was delicious. The Bulgogi was marinated and cooked very well. The sweetness from the Bulgogi and spiced kimchi was prefect together. The steamed white rice brings everything together in my opinion. If you like cabbage, I recommend trying kimchi with your meal (not overly spicy). The meals do not come with a drink. SiStar Seafood is located in a small strip mall near the intersection of Laburnum & Williamsburg Rd. The shop sells cooked meals and fresh seafood. Meals are made to order, so your food comes out hot. SiStar Seafood is a hidden gem for Korean BBQ. read more

SiStar Seafood - Korean Near Me - Henrico, Virginia

this place has been around for a bit and I was always nervous to try it since I was a previous customer of another seafood place. However, I am SO glad I did! my brother and I got 1.5lbs of spiced shrimp heavy on the spice, and 2 dozen #1 male crabs. all of it was awesome! crabs are full of meat! spiced and steamed to perfection! and the customer service was awesome! crabs and shrimp are steamed while you are there so there was maybe a 20 minute wait but I did not mind at all. Both were steaming when they came out! 10/10 will be returning!!! read more

Awesome food, awesome service. My friends and I ordered bulgogi, kalbi, and pork katsu. Definitely the best I have had in Richmond. Kimchi is homemade and staff was very welcoming. read more

I hesitate to spread the word on Si-Star because its one of those places that you wouldn't try unless somebody you trust sent you there. It has a loyal local following but I've never seen it crowded. It might be the cleanest smelling seafood store I've ever been in. All the retail seafood items look fresh, iced, and well cared for. The dining area isn't much to look at but its clean and neat. The Korean couple who run the place are as nice and friendly as can be. She runs the register and he does the cooking. Over the half dozen times I've eaten there she's told me what sides I should order and how many cocktail sauces I need. You will order rice with your Bulgogi or hear about it. I came in for lunch and dinner and lunch the next day and she remembered what I ordered each time. All in good fun. The Bulgogi is the best I've ever had. I may have eaten in 10 Korean restaurants in my travels and this is my favorite. It is very lean, very tender, perfectly seasoned, and had that hint of charcoal flavor. It takes a minute or two longer but its worth the wait. The shrimp fried rice is excellent too. The kimchi is a favorite. I'm particularly fond of the daikon version. I wanted some of each with my bulgogi the night I was told that I had to order white rice. I'm in the airport part of Richmond a couple of weekends a month with the National Guard. I like Si-Star better than any of the chains in the area. I think I could eat their Bulgogi every day. With white rice of course.. read more

This place is off the beaten path, but the food is excellent. The steamed shrimp with homemade spicy spices is fantastic. The owners were polite and more than happy to explain in detail the menu items, will definitely stop here again on my next visit from Atlanta. One of those places that are the reason for visiting Richmond!!!! read more

Love this seafood restaurant has a best seafood dishes in the state of Virginia come by and try them out i make it my business to come through two three times a week come on by you won't be disappointed read more

While they don't offer a huge variety of dishes (the menu in the image gallery is out of date), what they do have is absolutely delicious. However what makes this place so absolutely amazing are the people who work there. Not only are they the kindest and most friendly people you will ever hope to meet in your lives, but they genuinely enjoy what they do- which is probably why the food tastes as good as it does. They put a lot of love into what they do and it shows. The location also offers some seafood items in general, but I didn't get a good look at what they were currently selling. I know that they do sell various types of fish and shellfish from what I could see. I'd recommend going to them if you're looking for seafood, not only because they are nice but also because they don't have the "seafood smell" that you get in some of the chain grocery stores. (If you've ever walked by a Wal-mart seafood section then you'll know what I mean by this!) SiStar is a very clean location, which I like. read more

AMAZING hidden gem on the east end. the owner makes GREAT kimchi and all of their Korean dinners are wonderful.. i just wish their menu included more Korean dishes. read more

What a great place! The people are friendly, the food is delicious, and the price is reasonable! I will be looking forward towards My next visit. The Korean barbecue is excellent with rice and peppers, and the seafood is fresh and perfectly prepared. read more

Like be this place ! Owner is lovely and she always has a beautiful smile ! Food is fresh and very good

I ordered a fish sandwich, crabs and fish plate today. The fish was bland and needed seasoning. I noticed that my crabs had funny after taste and a weird seasoning on it. I only ate a few because they were old. Needless to say everyone who ate the crabs is very sick. I DO NOT RECOMMEND ! Save yourself the sickness read more

If you're thinking of stopping, browsing nearby, or on the fence..GO and GO NOW! It's not often that you happen across a gem like this. First, I ordered the steamed, seasoned shrimp- they were so good. The Korean Chili Wings are AWESOME coming from a self proclaimed wing connoisseur. If you're local, visiting, or flying through the area check it out. You won't be disappointed. read more

Shrimp fried rice was excellent but the fried shrimp tasted like the shrimp was old. French fries were disappointing but coleslaw was very good. I'm looking forward to coming back. I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt. I really want to try a few different items on the menu and hope to have a more positive update. read more

They had really great service. The seafood was amazing. It was fresh and the customer service was excellent. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to go to a local seafood restaurant.
