    Javanese shrimp stir fried noodles
    Boon C.

    This is a take out restaurant with no dine in condition. We came here due to their Southeast Asia rendang beef. Unfortunately, they no longer carry that. We decided to have other items in the menu and notice they have Javanese food. We got the Javanese shrimp stir fried noodles. They give a lot of food. But the price is not cheap either for take out place. My wife got the pork pad Thai. We selected a picnic area and start enjoying our food. Unfortunately the taste is not match what we expected for the capital city. We did not finish the food and have to throw away due to taste. Value to price is not favorable and the taste is not there.

    16. Sesame Chicken, 1. Egg Fried Rice
    Rachel T.

    Y'all, I'm so disappointed. The rice had no color or flavor, and the chicken was extremely gummy and not satisfying. Worst of ALL, once I had a couple of bites I found a bug (looked like a gnat) crawling in the chicken! Giving one star because the hostess was sweet.

    Egg rolls
    Brigitte M.

    We ordered the sesame chicken with rice (egg rolls included), shrimp lo mein, shrimp fried rice, and fried cheese wontons (all for pick up). Though everything was good, the noodles for the lo mein dish were a bit drier than I like; additionally, I expected to have more than five shrimp. Though I will have loads of leftover noodles left, I will have to make sure they don't become even drier when I warm them up. Of note, the shrimp fried rice had a decent amount of shrimp, but they were all at the bottom of the container - which is not the best way to enjoy the meal if eating directly from the container. In any case, the portions for most items are more than generous. I am sure that we will return but don't think I will order the shrimp lo mein again.

    Mongolian Beef!  The meat is SO TENDER and the sauce would be good on anything!
    Danae K.

    One word...YUMMY. We ordered the steamed dumplings, egg drop soup, moo goo gai pan, bakmi goreng (all the way) and fried chicken wings. ALL AWESOME. I wouldn't ordinarily order chicken wings when I am craving Asian food but this is what my daughter wanted. Ummm, holy deliciousness!! Soooooo goooood. I had this meal delivered but I can say that Tan's called to verify my order. The person I talked to was super sweet! This is a great place to order Asian-Americanish favorites AND to try I here they have a buffet, so I will see you there!!! ***Ordered some new stuff and I am posting pics of my new favorites, the Mongolian Beef and Shrimp Chow Mein!

    Mark R.

    I cannot begin to brag about the food tonight! full with rich flavors the Mongolian tofu was beyond phenomenal! It was cooked to perfection and the spices were outstanding! The service as well was phenomenal. They were truly customer centered watching out for what the customer needs. Making sure our drinks were refilled and that we were satisfied with our selection which beyond words we were! I will be back in Tallahassee next week and of course I will be going back here.

    New Orleans Seafood 2819 Mahan Dr. Suite 12…read moreTallahassee, FL 32308 Definitely NOT New Orleans Being from Louisiana, I wanted some good seafood for lunch and after reading some of the reviews from others who had good things to say about the food from this restaurant, I wanted to try it for myself. I was DISAPPOINTED. Just DISAPPOINTED. The food was NOT good and definitely NOT New Orleans. The food was downright horrible. Despite the inside appearance, the tacky décor and signs plastered all over the place, I really wanted to like this place, and it breaks my heart to have to write this review. I ordered two dinners. The 10-piece catfish strips with fries and and the 6-piece shrimp with hushpuppies at a total cost of $16.66. It took about 15 - 20 minutes to get my order. Everything tasted like it was fried in cooking oil that was beyond its life and needed to be changed. The catfish strips were small, overcooked, dark in color, dry, and had the flavor of burnt oil / grease. The shrimps were small, overcooked, dry, and tasted like it was cooked in burnt oil / grease. The fries were soggy and just like the fish and shrimp had a burnt taste to them. The hushpuppies were the only thing that was eatable and had great flavor. I only ate 2 pieces of the horrible catfish strips, 3 small shrimps, and a couple of the hushpuppies because that's all my stomach could only tolerate. New Orleans Seafood was a total let down. This may be a locally owned and operated small business, but my goodness, have some standards when it comes to restaurant appearance and food quality.

He complained but went back to the register for our order.He seemed confused with a simple order of three gumbos, one red beans and rice? one catfish dinner? one mullet sandwich and one shrimp Poboy. He finger poked thaat iPad so much that I felt sorry for it. he did complain constantly, but said the food would be out shortly. I asked him about the size of the said they were all sizes and I said OK. He did end up charging extra for a larger one which I did not ask for and he did not let me know . He completely forgot my sister's shrimp Poboy? the gumbo was so salty none of us could eat it. The mullet and catfish were so overcooked and cornmealed that they tasted the same and were both so overcooked there was little meat left to eat. The red beans and rice were OK nothing fancy hard to screw that up. The gumbo might have tasted good except for being so salty it was inedible. Two other people came in, ordered and ate before our take out order was ready. The server was so unkind to us, complained so much about us just being there and wanting food that I believe he sabotage our food to pay us back. I can't imagine anyone being happy with the quality of food that we ended up taking back to the hospital with us. We were there with our sister whose son was in Neuro ICU. We have to go back to Tallahassee from Orlando to continue the vigil over my sister's son. I would eat at Popeyes fried chicken before I would go back to this place. oh! I almost forgot. He overcharged me for the mullet sandwich. I would post a picture of the receipt, but I don't think this review allows it.

I sat and savor every little sliver and it was just it was wonderful again. I just want you to know it's just a great place to go. Keep them happy make some money he'll feed you well. The place is always kind of quiet and mellow parking is easy as could be access for wheelchairs. It's OK once you're in you're good but getting a little tough, but the food is worth it smashed potatoes and the green beans alone or just to die for and then you got all kind of other things like okra, tomatoes, and shrimp and grits. I mean it's an extensive menu. Coleslaw is wonderful potato salad delicious I'm telling you it's a good food but now they have that lunch special and my wife and I spend half the money now that we do before and it's still a good deal. We love it always the shrimp's always consistent same size shrimp they don't never give you a small shrimp it's always a good one. It's always fresh make you feel good at home. Have a refill. Get another water. Be peeing later. Be making him feel better.

The portions were good and the food was fresh and very tasty. What also made my experience so great was the service by Katy M. who was at the register around 11:30 am. She has the perfect demeanor for someone in the service industry. She also appears to be a great employee. I watched as she left the register to ask customers if everything was OK and to clean off the recently empty tables. As the restaurant became busy, she was still perfectly delightful. If I had a restaurant I would have tried to steal her away. I will definitely be back, probably a few times a week.

The owner decided to add the Hawaiian aesthetic to their seafood restaurant and it has been a good move so far to me. The ambiance is pretty clean with additions to their interior design. They added mini surf boards. Overall, this is a must try spot for Hawaiian and Japanese fusion foods. Especially if you enjoy Japanese BBQ.

It's not exactly clean eating, but you do feel like you're eating real food and not some TVP & MSG concoction. Everything I've gotten here tastes good and comes in large portions. They have a big menu, and I like to try something new every time. The only thing I wouldn't reorder is the ribs because there just wasn't much meat. My favorite app is the spam musubi. My favorite entree is the seafood boil, but that's not something you would want to order unless you're feeding a family. For drinks, they have fountain drinks or canned "Hawaiian" options. The interior is bland but comfortable with pleasant music and clean bathrooms. Everything is served in to-go containers even if you're dining in. You can order ahead via their website but cannot pay ahead. Staff are very pleasant and helpful.
