Food: Ume Bowl with Ochazuke Set Price: $26 + $4.5…read moreOverall: I came here with my boyfriend to celebrate our anniversary back in April! It is in the general area with Cere Tea and Koi Palace. We arrived around 6PM and were seated immediately. We came for the seafood don and both got the UME with an addition of the ochazuke set. For $26 + 4.5 for the set, I think it's really worth the price and you get a good amount of fresh fish. Each bite felt like I was transported to Japan and eating a Kaisendon. Although we had to wait for a bit for the dashi soup to arrive , it was a delicious end to our meal. So comforting and hearty.

Cute little space in a very Asian-centric strip near that McCarthy Ranch area, right below Koi…read morePalace iykyk. Loved the quaint atmo, dark colors with zen vibes and the small space made me feel like I found a gem in an alley in Japan. Unique menu where they'll do a few fried apps, udon soups where they told me the noodles are homemade. And this rice seafood bowl where minced up tuna and other sushi ingredients are all in one bowl. I've had chirashi hundreds of times but I've never had a bowl quite like this...so I had to give it a whirl. Take Bowl ($33/4*) So this gets presented in a very Japanese fashion. On a tray with a decorative ceramic bowl containing the seafood and rice, a matching ceramic bottle of homemade soy sauce, a pickled cabbage side and a nice big wooden spoon. In that bowl is a base of warm plain short grain rice, topped with a generous mound of minced raw tuna, a little snow crab, a few chunks of raw scallop and this particular version has a ton of salmon roe. It is garnished with a small nori sheet, some scallions, pickled ginger and wasabi. So very familiar ingredients if you're a fan of sushi, but the experience is one I can say I've never done. Menu says to first make your own hand roll with that nori sheet, stuff it to your hearts content. Once that's done you can eat the bowl as you wish. Hopefully with a dousing of the soy/wasabi combo as the minced fish is completely plain, no seasoning. I kinda mixed the seafood mixture into the rice a bit, not sure if that's the move. Now here's my take on this new way to eat sushi ingredients. I liked it but I didn't love it. I think I would much rather just eat a chirashi or a tartare prep from a sushi chef, as those have texture and flavor added by a chef. Here you have to do everything yourself and often there can be a learning curve to the new experience. Like I had to add the soy/wasabi mix several times, as I just couldn't figure out the right amount as their soy sauce is much less salty than commercial versions. And I was too concerned on not going overboard and ruining my bowl, so I was doing it in a very cautious but cumbersome manner. Also since everything was so minced up, the overall texture is very one note, soft and mushy. At least with a chirashi you can sense each fish's firmness and unique texture. Here the chopped tuna, chopped scallop and shredded crab are all soft, and with the soft rice, was just a mush fest for me. There were small hunks of cucumber and pickled lotus root that gave little hits of crunch, but still not enough for me. I will say the seafood is very fresh and in good portioning. Fried Squid Legs ($4.50/4*) Very small skewer of trimmed up calamari tentacles fried tempura style. The fry is very light. The tentacles remain quite tender yet with a slight chew. But the crispness was minimized by the light fry. Still decent with the cold seafood bowl, to go back and forth on the bites. I'd still come back to try those homemade udon noodles, now that I've knocked out their seafood bowl. Give me an adventure and I'll delve right in. Thanks Yaichi for providing such an adventure.

My go-to seafood boil spot in the South Bay! I remember…read morecoming to this restaurant's grand opening and thinking - this place is going to be insanely popular because the sauce is so good! Thankfully, the masses have not found it yet. My regular order is as follows: - Combo 1 with 2lbs of head on shrimp and 1lb of clams. House special sauce medium - House special sauce spicy on the side - Rice on the side (mandatory) - Strawberry lemonade Some week days, they also have raw oysters for a dollar so check that out! An amazing deal that is hard to find in SJ (more prevalent up in SF from lived experience). I usually get the same staff member. I think his name is Cory and he is super friendly and attentive! Highly recommend checking it out if you like seafood boil as much as I do!

Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing…read more The seafood arrived only warm, and the additional sauce we ordered was barely lukewarm. The fries and garlic noodles came out about 20 minutes after the seafood by which point we had already finished eating. We also had to flag our server down twice to follow up on the fries and garlic noodles. The service itself was okay, but the timing and lack of follow-up were frustrating. The oysters were particularly disappointing. They looked sad and were not what we expected. I also ordered a Coke Zero but received Diet Coke instead despite Coke Zero being listed on the restaurant's website. Most concerning, I became sick with what I believe was food poisoning after the meal. I can't definitively say the restaurant caused it, but the timing was concerning and made an already disappointing experience even worse. Lastly, they advertised a free appetizer for signing up for their rewards program with an entrée purchase. We signed up and purchased an entrée, but when we tried to redeem the offer, we were denied and told to use it on our next visit instead. Given our experience, there won't be a next visit. Overall, between the lukewarm food and sauce, delayed sides, disappointing oysters, incorrect drink, getting sick afterward, and the rewards promotion not being honored, this was an extremely disappointing experience. We won't be coming back.

I was worried they would be close by the time I get there since they close at 5pm and it was 4:45pm when we got there. There is parking in the back that you can drive in and park. I told them I wanted 120 Pacific oysters and the worker brought it out right away. They were $120 but since I used my card to pay, they tacked on $5 to the price. I think you have to spend a certain amount to avoid the $5 credit card charge. They asked if I was ok with it and I told them it was fine and proceeded to pay. They have newspapers on the side that you can use to put in ur car so the water from the oysters doesn't get on the car carpet. The oysters were really good and tasted fresh. We ended up killing all 120 oysters last night. Highly recommend this place for oysters.

This was my go-to seafood boil spot for the past five years. I'd always recommend this place to…read morefriends because it was consistently one of the better seafood boil spots in SJ. After today's visit, though... I finally understand why the second location closed. Ordered: Shackie's Sauce (Hot) Shrimp & Mussels Combo Snow Crab Clusters Garlic Noodles Garlic Fries The seafood boil was nowhere near the quality it used to be. The corn tasted old, the shrimp and snow crab didn't taste fresh, and the snow crab clusters had barely any meat. By the time I cracked everything open, it felt like there was more shell than seafood. The mussel shells even had barnacles on them, which I've never seen here before. It made the seafood feel like it hadn't been cleaned as well as it should have. The garlic fries were crispy, but that's it. It was weird--I could see the garlic and was literally eating it, yet there was no garlic flavor. The garlic noodles used to be one of my favorite items because they were bold and packed with garlic. Now they've definitely toned the flavor down, and they're just not the same anymore. It's honestly disappointing because this place used to be one of my favorite seafood spots. The food quality has clearly declined while the prices have continued to go up. I hope they can get back to what made this place so good, but based on today's experience, I can't recommend it anymore.

So Yummy! Everything was awesome at sj crawfish. I wish that Yelp have more than 5 stars, i will give them the maximum stars. My friends and I ordered 5lbs crawfish and get 1lb free of jumbo shrimp. And we could not believe that they were so delicious. When we ate the crawfish, we felt it was fresh, juicy with smell of garlic butter and cajun flavor. That makes their crawfish perfect. After eating 6lbs, we ordered 6lbs more because we want to eat more and cant stop. The sj crawfish is the best crawfish restaurant that we came. They not only have great foods but also good service. The owner and his staffs are very nice, the owner cooked the crawfish for us, went to our table to ask about foods and also refilled water. I saw some tables next us ordered some appetizers and they seem to be like those foods much. Thats the reason why My friends said that next time we must try some appetizers. I really recommend that you must come here and try their crawfish, trust me and you will not disappointed. read more

******************** 1525 *********************** Another Vietnamese crawfish place, new owner, much nicer service from the owner himself. The decor is nicer than the old place and I enjoy the nice fish tank. Fresh crawfish and shrimp at $12.99 per lb. you but 5 lbs you get 1 lb for FREE. The crawfish is fresh, juicy, and on the bigger side because it's in season now June 2016. The sauce is good but on the saltier side for my taste bud. It's not garlicky nor buttery like other crawfish places. My family enjoyed the crawfish and the shrimp combo, perfect food to munch on while watching the Shark's game. The Tamarine Crab 2.3 lb was $33, it's a bit dried, and I wish they have more sauce. I would come back to try other dishes they have on the menu. They also offer lunch with noodles and rice dishes. read more

SJ Crawfish is super delicious!!! You will never go wrong with 49res sauce( little sweet, very garlicky and super flavorful). 49ers sauce is more on the thick side, if you want viscosity to your seafoods, then this is the one for you. I also tried the SJ Style and it was amazing, if you want a little of everything in your food, you must go with SJ Style which is a combination of Cajun, Fresh Pineapples and Tamarind. The SJ Style is more on the light side. I personally like them both. As for the quality of seafoods: you will get the best and very fresh quality at decent price.

If the restaurant was packed and if we were given a heads up, then I'd have no issues. No one stopped by to let us know there'd be a wait and no one checked on us at all. There were 2 other filled tables at the time and that was it. It felt as if it was a not so hidden gem since I did see quite a few takeout orders go out while we waited. The quality of the seafood though was, as I said, outstanding. Jumbo shrimp, fresh crawfish, and surprisingly large lobster tails! The sauce is very unique and delicious. It's got the right consistency where it will stick to the seafood but it was scoop up in globs of sauce. The restaurant itself felt like a classic viet restaurant. Simple decor with lots of full size booths/tables filled in the restaurant.

There was plenty of parking in the lot on a Sunday evening, and service was standard and sufficient. I ordered the lion king baked roll without avocado. I don't care for wasabi or ginger (so I requested none of this), but the dish seemed to lack any sauce at all, the sweet sauce and spicy mayo missing or unnoticeable, so it was a bit dry. I enjoyed it regardless, still very tasty.

You can choose between imitation crab or baked salmon, and I went with the baked salmon for mine. For my main meal, I got a large standard salmon bowl (about $24 on Uber Eats). Honestly, there wasn't a lot of meat in it. I really felt like it was missing the fish, which was a bummer. Everything else in the bowl was cool though--it was hella textured and pretty decent overall. Would I go back again? Probably not. But honestly, it is probably still one of the better poke spots around the area.

The atmosphere wasn't bad, just unexpected. The service was fast, and we received our food pretty quickly, which I appreciated. We ordered the noodle soup with wontons and pork. While the pork itself was delicious and flavorful, the broth leaned pretty mild and even bland, so the overall dish fell a little flat for me. We also tried the deep-fried noodles with beef, broccoli, and mushrooms. The dish was definitely unique, and the thick sauce was decent flavor-wise, though not especially memorable. I liked it well enough, but it wasn't something I'd crave later. Overall, the food was average to me. Nothing was terrible, but nothing really stood out either. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to come back.
