    a basket of fried chicken and french fries
    Hrishi D.

    We checked out the Captain's Platter loaded with shrimp, mussels, clams, snow crab legs, broccoli, corn and potatoes! The meal is amazing! We had a memorable experience enjoying the seafood with our hands. Consult with your server before ordering your meal. They can help you to explore some delicious seafood dishes especially if it's your first time. Don't forget to order the veggies and seafood fried rice with the seafood platter. I would definitely recommend coming here to the Scarborough location for a family dinner, a fun date, or hanging out with friends. Huge parking lot, clean environment, and absolutely incredible customer service. 4505 Sheppard Ave E, Scarborough, ON M1S 1V3

    Fried rice- nice flavours
    Karmen N.

    A fun eat with your hand experience but overall very salty. For a family of 4, we shared a few things for dinner. Some are hits while others are misses: Sailor's A Set: OK: 1 lb garlic shrimp- lots of flavour but very salty HIT: Fried Rice- excellent flavour! MISS: Cajun fries- extremely salty. Also, we had 2 baskets of these and one is crispy while the other is soft. Seems to be inconsistent frying. MISS: Garlic Bread (3pc)- Very soggy! Mushy texture and not toasted at all. Also needed more garlic HIT: 1 lb wings- this was the best dish amongst everything. Very fresh and flavourful and salt level not overwhelming like it is on everything else. PASS: Fish and Chips (Reg)- 3 pcs of Haddock with cajun fries. Fried ok, but the flavour is exactly like frozen battered fish, little off-putting. Fries are quite spicy and salty if that's your thing. Too much seasoning for me, so I'll be passing on this next time. Needed to drink a lot of water after this meal; not a place I'll come to regularly. Also, unless you're getting a glass of beer, all their bowls and cutlery are disposable. Lots of plastic waste

    I like the idea of this place and of course, it's always fun to eat with your hands. Make a mess--They got you covered with houses, bibs and a washing station right in the restaurant. We got the snow crab legs and mussels. Mussels are consistently meaty here and the crab legs were sweet and meaty as well. I got rice, potato, corn, and okra as the sides. The corn was delicious and I enjoyed the Okra. I would advise not having those in the bags of seafood though. The sauces were so incredibly oily. The bag of mussels had almost no sauce. It was just filled with a red oil. It's like they have a vat of sauce, and scooped the top layer for us. I couldn't bear to eat it, so I ended up squeegie-ing each piece off.... I found it not only oily, but very salty. We barely got through our two pounds of seafood. Maybe a one time visit for us. I prefer a different but similar concept restaurant. I was also quoted a different price at the start of dinner and what appeared on my final bill. Honestly, I didn't find it worth trying to flag someone down to correct. I wouldn't have minded the higher price, if they had been honest up front. It just left me with a bad taste at the end of the meal. I understand why it's such a popular idea and I encourage you to try it for yourself. I personal would get my seafood fix elsewhere.

    New policy change from Head Office, only 1 Sailor's Seafood Feast per table. Such BS
    Allester A.

    Update: Came back to Captain's Boil since I got an invite to come for dinner. This time they let our table order more than two of the Sailor's Seafood Feast. The last time I was here, they mentioned there was a new policy from head office where there's a limit of two per table. Only reason I didn't give full star is because the apron (or bib?) is made of paper and rips easily. Overall, I can now say that you should check this place out if you are craving a seafood feast. Note that I got a reply from their account that said no such policy existed.

    My friends have typically insisted on traveling to the North York location after having one bad experience here where their sauce was watery, but we came back to give it another chance. It was my first time at this location. I haven't been to Captain's Boil in a while but my first notice was that they've spruced up their menu and now there's more selection and other dishes to choose from. They also now have different combo packages. I ordered a pound of mussels with mild captain's boil sauce. I usually order a side of fries and a corn but this time I forgot to. The mussels were tasty and the sauce was flavourful. I think Captain's Boil is a little inconsistent with their quality, because I've noticed across chains that sometimes their sauce tastes better and worse during different visits. A pound of seafood wasn't enough to fill me. After I was done the mussels I didn't really want to back track and order more, so I ended up stopping by elsewhere for quick take out snack food. I do enjoy the environment at this location more than the other location though. It's more spacious and the set up feels nicer. The parking area is a bit awkward and limited though... I had to park in the plaza next door but it was an easy and quick walk over. Service was good, nothing notable about it. Don't expect to get full off of a pound of seafood... ordering fries or other sides is necessary to leave with a full stomach! The sauce is good and quality was good. Captain's Boil is one of those places I'll crave every so often, it's a nice place to revisit every once in a while.

    Had a great experience for my first time at Captains Boil. The staff was friendly and greeted us when we came in. They promptly assisted me to my seat once I told them about my reservation. When we sat down, our server introduced herself, and asked if we had any questions on the menu and if we wanted to have anything to drink. She was able to answer all of our questions, including the specials, price differences etc (she was basically very knowledgeable about the menu and restaurant) The food came promptly after we ordered and wow, I was excited to get down and dirty with my hands. We ordered everything mild with the captains boil sauce (which tasted amazing). Everything was hot, and the sauce was very flavourful! The hardest part was keeping our phone and clothes clean, and grabbing napkins haha. Will definitely come back again in the future for another feast. Thank you for making our experience

    2.5 Star for lunch Experience which offers Chicken/Fish Teriyaki with a side of seafood for $10.95 We were here on Saturday around 2:00 pm for a late lunch. The restaurant was not too busy and we were seated promptly and was given a cup of room temperature water in plastic cup. (suggestion: maybe some iced water would be better?) Chicken Teriyaki with Captain Boil Sauce Medium Spicy - The chicken was tender and flavourful - The hot plate was sizzling hot when served Fish Teriyaki with Lemon Garlic Sauce Fire Spicy - The hot plate was warm with no sizzle at all! - The fish was mushy and more batter than fish - The sauce was lurk warm and the seafood was not really cooked through, especially for the clams and mussels which has this mushy texture The 2 craw fish on each of the order were probably the worse. The tail meat was tasteless and mushy. We ended up just have one bite and left the rest untouched. Maybe the side seafood would have tasted better if it was served/prepared in one of the bags instead of just putting them on the hot plate and served with sauce on top? At least they would be hot instead of warm? I would not recommend the hot plate special! Serving those the way it was really not really represent the real seafood boil experience! Ordering something from the actual menu probably would be the best bet. My first ever Captain Boil's experience was a disappointment. Maybe I should not have order those specials..

    I've been here four times in the last four weeks and I have to give them points for consistency. The seafood has been fresh every time and the service has been great. I even have my own personal server now, Nia. ;) She's great! My personal favourite is the snow crab with Captain's Boil spices, corn on the cob, and Cajun fries. The spicy garlic butter is delicious! My fellow diners usually go for the clams and shrimps. Tonight, we tried the crawfish and nobody was crazy about it. Their ice cream is always good! Each visit, I've been with different friends and family. All of them said they'll be back. So will I.

    Lowering my score to a 3/5. Today I ordered a lobster with the captains boil sauce. Starting with Quality: As always captains boil never fails with flavor. Regardless of what sauce you select, it will satisfy your taste buds. I did however notice that the captains boil sauce was over powering the taste of the lobster. I still enjoyed it but it would be nice if it wasn't over powering. Portions and price: $42.00 for 1 lobster???? That lobster didn't even satisfy me and I was still very hungry. If you're a lobster lover and you're on a budget and want good quality lobster then go to red lobster. 42.00 gets you one lobster at captains boil and there's barely any meat..so disappointed 39.00 gets you a rock lobster tail with veggies and one side at red lobster. Not worth 42.00 at Captains boil. Sorry captain! I'm off your ship. I will be back for the sizzling plate because I think that's the only item on the menu where I can be satisfied and not worry about my wallet.

    One of their daily specials - fresh oysters

    I am an avid customer of this particular location and I generally don't have any complaints. Most of the time, you get to choose where to sit. Your bibs and gloves are already laid out on the table and they immediately bring out water to you. The service is always on point (at least for all the times I've been here) and they tend to check up on the table every once in a while. They also upgraded their menus with a few more new items/combos (they have daily specials now too). I always order the pound of shrimp and mussels in the captain's boil sauce with a side of steamed rice. If it's your first time, I definitely recommend trying anything with the special captain's boil sauce - it's literally just all the sauces mixed together but it's SO GOOD. I like getting the shrimp and mussels because they're both much meaty-er than let's say, crawfish (which I do not suggest to get at all because of the bare minimum meat). Speaking of, if you get the sizzling platter, which is also really good, it typically comes with crawfish, shrimp, mussels, clams, rice and your choice of fish or chicken HOWEVER, you can substitute the crawfish with more of the other seafood(s) included. The cajun fries and seafood fried rice are also really good... honestly, I'm just a big fan of Captain's Boil generally. Overall, this is a good casual place for seafood and to get messy with family and friends. They cater to big groups and give free ice cream when it's your birthday AND their music is always bangin'.

    This location of Captain's Boil has quickly become one of my family's go to spots for both dining in and grabbing take-out. Whenever we come here we're always greeted by the staff and service is always super quick. Our normal order is usually a pound of shrimp with the captain's boil sauce and their seafood rice, which is always very flavourful. I've also tried their clams and mussels which I would also recommend. I believe they have 4 sauces you can choose from, however I always stick to the classic captain's boil sauce. In addition, you can choose from mild, medium and spicy depending on your spice tolerance. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place as staff are friendly, service is great and food always hits the spot!

The seafood is extraordinarily fresh--pulled straight from massive surrounding glass tanks--and prepared to absolute perfection with their signature Maggi sauce and garlic toppings. However, the major downside here is the notoriously slow and chaotic service. Due to the massive crowds, servers can be hard to flag down, orders take a long time to arrive, and the staff often feels rushed or inattentive. Despite the frustrating wait times and subpar service, the spectacular flavors and theatrical presentation make it a worthwhile destination for patient seafood lovers.Watch the massive lobster towers being prepared and served fresh at this iconic spot

It's located in this small unassuming plaza with many south asian businesses. I came here for lunch on a Sunday with a group of 14 people and they were super happy to accommodate.

There were two other groups already eating before we all arrived. The staff were very nice and pleasant and even adjusted all their portion sizes so that instead of serving 13 pieces as the default they would give us 14 so that everyone had one.

A very friendly gentleman brought out the menu and some tea as we scanned the well-priced lunch menu. Since we both came for chili chicken, we tried 2 versions of this lunch special; one on crispy chow mien (extra) with a soft drink and one with hot and sour soup and steamed rice. The lunch combos come with a spring roll and a choice of soup or a soft drink and was around $14. Our food came out pretty quickly and it was piping hot which is always great! The hot and sour soup was very good and it actually had a nice kick to it with chunky tofu and veggies morsels. My friend took a spoonful and found it to be too spicy for her, but I have a decent heat tolerance and it tasted perfect for my palate. The chili chicken on our lunch looked equally good, but fell short as the chicken pieces were small, dry and tasted of old frying oil which was unfortunate because the gravy was so good. Maybe next time, I will try a different protein to see if that can earn the restaurant the rest of the stars. Looking forward to coming back to try other items here soon!

Their mixed shellfish fry plate was quite tasty. We also had their calamari, which was better than any other I've had in a long time. If you like fried calamari, this is the one to have. If you are iffy about it, definitely have it here, because it's excellent. And just to keep the deep fried theme going, we had a side of fries, lol. We ended up making friends with the couple beside us at the bar. Shots were had, friendships made. More shots ensued... Now we are going to see them perform with their band at Massey Hall at the end of May. The things that happen on a Friday night! The staff were fabulous. Very friendly. I was absolutely shocked by how cheap our bill was for all the food and booze we had! I actually asked the guy to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything because it seemed wrong! Anyway, I look forward to my next visit.

    It's been a long time since I went here again, and the first time after they renovated the…read morebar/restaurant. I arrived on a cold morning. Despite seated near the door, it was well insulated and I never felt cold. The seating is still bar-like, with metal chairs over something more comfortable. The menu offers both HK-style cafe dishes and western seafood-oriented dishes. Staff appears to understand limited Chinese, and they double checked what our group ordered for drinks. I decided to go for the baked seafood spaghetti with cold Dutch tea (both hot and cold drinks are at the same price!). The presentation was a bit messy but flavourful. I wish the staff gave extra plate for me to place the empty oyster and clam shell rather than pushing them to the edge of my plate. The staff never gave us any water until we asked. The good thing is, they never rushed us to pay and our group chatted for a long time. Price wise, it was excellent. Service wise, could be improved.

    Hmmm where do I start?…read more The waiter seemed great but clueless. He didn't really know how to take an alcoholic drink order. He didn't know the flavour differences in each of the sauces for the boil. Seems like you just have to know what you want and order it. They seemed short staffed there. Getting anyone's attention was difficult. We got a pound of the shrimp and a pound of clams. Nothing to rave about. Not amazing but not horrible. The sauce seemed one dimensional and flat. For this type of meal, I want a flavour explosion but Good Catch fell short. Not sure if this is the place I'd hit again if I wanted a mean seafood boil.

    Happy Fishman is a Cantonese seafood restaurant in Markham. They're known for their menu of fresh…read morelobster, fish, crab, prawns, shrimp, squid, scallop, oyster, sea cucumber, razor clams, snails, golden fish rolls and other seafood. While shopping nearby we decided to get a bite to eat here. Happy Fishman was on my list of restaurants to go to so we came here to order a set meal. We were impressed by how quickly the food was prepared. Service was attentive and efficient. They brought teas to the table and a soup (hum choy tong) which was very good. The noodles (e-fu) were cooked just right and very flavourful. This contrasted well with the braised tofu and fish with gravy on rice. The dishes worked together to balance out the flavours. The HK milk tea was smooth, creamy and sweetened to my taste. Everything was excellent. We will definitely be coming back again soon.

    Cannot go wrong with their amazing value lunch combo for $11 or $12. There are a ton of dishes to…read morechoose from so there is something for everyone. The lunch combo comes with a drink (add $1.50 for an iced beverage), soup, and great portion entree. I ordered the beef brisket noodle soup and my boyfriend got the beef curry on rice. I was astounded by the portion of the beef curry - and it was super delicious! The noodle soup was good, it mainly took the flavour of the egg noodles, but I was happy with it. The beef was mainly beef tendon rather than actual meat, but for the price I wouldn't expect anything else. The iced HK milk tea was refreshing and they put it in a to-go cup which was very convenient. I will say that the service isn't great but it did the job. Before tip but after tax, it was $30 - which is really great for the amount of food we got (considering it was a drink, soup and entree for two). They take credit over $20.

We ordered the milk bread with house butter and durian butter. If you like durian, you will like the durian butter! We also got the spring rolls which were great. For mains, we got the crispy hai nam rice which is exactly what it sounds like. It's Hainanese chicken rice but with crispy chicken and it was pretty good. Chicken was a tad dry though. The pho was also good, it is very similar to Nam's pho if you have already tried their pho. Overall it was pretty solid!

It's a beautiful restaurant though and had good vibes. Service was good although it did slow down as we reached peak lunch time. The items that took the longest to come were the pho but this was acceptable since we weren't in a rush. The satay pho had a good kick to it and there was quite a bit of rare beef inside. Next time I would probably do a little bit of everything for their toppings. I think more noodles could have been added for a large pho but I was full. Next time I'd come to try more of their bbq items and appetizers. It's a bit of a splurge but definitely has a unique menu!
