They have good options to build your boil and the pricing is about what you'd expect. I'm still on the hunt for the best boil in the valley and while The Spice Sea is not bad, there has to be better. Service was prompt and attentive and it was relatively clean. As long as you ask questions or ask for something you'll get it, but you have to ask. read more

Saturday night visit, first visit. The restaurant was about halfway full upon arrival and nearly completely full at departure. Combo B(crab legs, mussels, shrimp,sliced sausage, corn, red potato), was shared amongst two people and was a good amount of food for sharing. The corn on the cob was too soft, not much crunch to it, the potato was very bland. I feel like they should've poked holes in it if the only flavor we received came from the sauce. The gumbo was bland. House special was our sauce and medium for the heat level. The sauce was not evenly mixed and the heat level was not spicy just a little kick to it. The service was ok, the wait to receive the food was quick. They have tvs playing sports as well as music playing. read more

Loved their recipe for the crab boil. Service was good. A bit relaxed as far as pace of being served but not something that would deter me from coming back. Very family friendly. Would go back. read more

Delicious seafood boil complete with all the options and fixings! The service was incredible as well as the nautical themed decorations throughout the restaurant. Sauce and spice options were the perfect level of spicy and rich from the butter, will definitely be going back! read more

New go-to for seafood boil! Come hungry, leave happy. The garlic bread for soppin' up the extra sauce is a must! Love this spot, friendly staff, and a good pile of food. No complaints! read more

Omg! We cannot say enough great things about this place. The service was Top Notch! Super friendly and knowledgeable people that made the perfect recommendations. They made you feel like you were a friend or family member. We got Combo B, medium spice which was perfect. And the house sauce, which was phenomenally delicious. We also added an extra half a pound of protein and it was the perfect amount for two people. The ambience was fun and welcoming. 10 out of 10! Highly recommend!! read more

I love Snow crabs, so I gave theirs a try. They were just ok. I'll give it another try one day.

Literally hopped off a plane and came here to eat thanks to the reviews. Could not have been happier with that decision. Seafood was fresh, well seasoned, and not overly salty or oily. I felt great after eating and the portions were generous for the price. Service was excellent I arrived at opening and it began to fill up. read more

The food was yummy. I should have taken pictures of the food right when they came out. I had the mozzarella sticks and the seafood fried rice. My friend had the fried zucchini sticks and the seafood rice with extra shrimp. My friend really liked the ginger beer. It was a little bit spicy. The server was polite but did not provide good service. We had to ask for silverware (we had the big serving spoons), salt, ranch dressing, and even plates. Maybe she was distracted. read more

Hot, spicy, messy... Everything that I like in a meal, lol... Service was friendly and they were not busy for early dinner. I'll try to remember to skip the crawfish next time, lol... They were OK but not worth the trouble. Everything else was great. read more

I'm not much of a seafood boil expert to begin with. I solely came here because of previous reviews I'd seen online that convinced me enough to try the food. Upon arrival it was empty but I went on a Wednesday at 2pm. The service was okay, nothing extra nothing dissatisfying. The soda they had on tap was a bit flat but our server attended to our concern & switched our drink. We ordered fried zucchini, crab puffs & peeled shrimp boil with a lobster tail. (Sausage, corn, potatoes & noodles with their house sauce) The zucchini was great and had the perfect crunch. The crab puffs were also great & very filling. The boil was okay, again I am not much of a seafood boil fan. I have only had it one other time aside from this dine in. It tasted as I would have assumed it should have. The sauce was a bit overbearing for me, a lot of garlic for my liking. The added noodles we ordered in it also may have been a bit much. I would've probably enjoyed it more without them. With this one order both my husband & I ate. I enjoyed the cleanliness of the restaurant, it is very on theme for the food it serves & the experience was good overall. Attached to my review is m receipt with the break down of our order. read more

The Spice Sea - Combo B - Seafood Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I don't have an issue with our server he was kind. However the food was not it. I ordered a hot house sauce bag of sides, corn , potatoes, and noodles. The spice level was not spicy and when I asked for a side of extra hot sauce it was sweet. We came on a slow day so there were not many customers, but one of the servers was sitting down in the dining area the whole time. I probably won't be back. read more

Worst seafood boil I ever had. Spent 200$ and had to throw it away. It tastes like they boil it in water then slap sauce on the top that is horrible not even good sauce. Shrimp are rubbery I would never recommend coming here even to my worst enemy. I'd compare the spice sea to the cemetery cause it's sad to see anyone there. Never thought a seafood boil could be this horrible. read more

DELICIOUS FOOD AND EVEN BETTER SERVICE!!! We went here for the first time on Fathers Day and all enjoyed ourselves. Food and cocktails were delicious. Most of us had the build your own boil with all three sauces mixed and as someone who rarely eats any seafood I really enjoyed myself juicy delicious shrimps and down to the sausages and potato's that sauce was delicious! My husband enjoyed his seafood boil as well and he's extremely picky. Our server was attentive and just overall great. The staff as we were leaving was just as amazing and friendly. We honestly LOVE this place, the overall ambiance. Food and Excellent Service! read more

The Spice Sea - Seafood fried rice - Seafood Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This is a great casual spot to grab dinner. Nothing fancy, but the food and service is great! I thought the market price was reasonable as well. We had the shrimp and lobster with potatoes and sausage.we did the house sauce which is a mix of all three of their sauces. It was flavorful and not too spicy. You can choose your level of spice. We did "hot" which was a manageable heat level. I would recommend hitting this spot up if you're on this side of town read more

Ok I have been dreaming about this place since I left. It was so good!! The sea food was fresh and delicious, the sauce (we did the combo of all three) was incredible! The spice rating is definitely on the milder side so go up higher if you like spicy. The service was so awesome and sweet. He saw our toddler really liked the cherries from her Shirley temple so he brought her a whole handful of them for her. Just so sweet!! The restaurant itself is clean and cute. Just can't rave about this place enough! We will DEFINITELY be back read more

Food 9/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance (clean, Sea themed) The snowcrab was full of meat and tasted so fresh! None of that fishy smell. The sauce was on the buttery side than oily (which was delicious!) lots of little pieces of garlic. The fries were a bit on the dry side. Good but nothing too special! The best was dipping them in the sauce!! read more

Meal was delicious Drinks also delish Casual dining atmosphere Staff kind and attentive I would definitely recommend Provecho/Bon Appetit read more

What a great day! So we booked for large party for my nieces 19th Birthday. We got 3 boil bags and a one pound shrimp bag. Two fish and chips orders of cod, one of the cat fish and it all was fire. Order of oysters on the half shell, the seafood soup, tried the gumbo an the rue needs thickening work it was flavorful though just a bit watery. We got fried calamari it was ok, we also got the chicken tenders they were more like nuggets, and some of the crawfish and several drinks. Service was ok they probably don't get much diversity. He did his best to be friendly, remember all our items be attentive I mean it's a lot going on with a crowd of people whom they probably assumed wouldn't tip or be quiet. Ain't no shade at all when it's love in here and we appreciate the time we spent together trying a place none of us ever been, and wasn't common. This was a seafood heads call lol which y'all know I am not lol. read more

Way TOO expensive and didn't allow me to order a "kids meal" as an adult......(I eat like a bird). I didn't understand why, because they would have still made money..... The atmosphere didn't feel "seafood-ish". I'll go elsewhere. read more

Not a fan. This place skimped on everything. Sad to say. We came in excited and left disappointed. One person working the bar , the hostess, serving and food runner. Im not sure how you can do 8 positions in one and Adequately attend to the guest. Oh well! Food was mediocre. We tried the seafood fried rice and the 36$ Boil bag. When the bag arrive I was excited to dig in. After opening the bag and looking through. Everything was fairly small except for the shrimp with head on. The crawfish we small and missing claws. The sausage pieces were so thin, I couldnt believe they were charging for them. Lol The corn was good my daughter enjoyed it the most. We did their famous sauce not sure the name. Mild it was tasty. Overall I dont think I would return. Nothing to rave about here. Plenty of other Seafood places! Oh and we had to ask for melted butter. I of kind thought that was staple when it came to Crab which was in our bag and again super small Snow Crab!:( read more

The Spice Sea - Combo B - Seafood Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We went on a Saturday 30 minutes after it opened. It was understandably empty with only 2 other patrons. We walked in and there was no one at the front. It took a while for someone to come and greet us I was ready to walk out after 15 minutes of waiting for someone. But right as I was going to give up a nice lady walked out of the kitchen and sat us. She was very friendly and promptly took our drink orders. We went with their combo C for 64 bucks. It was more than enough for me and my daughter to enjoy and still have leftovers! Once we started eating more people were starting to come in. The decor was pretty cool too. read more

Be prepared for a messy, tasty and awesome meal. For appetizers we ordered fried mushrooms and fried zucchini, both were fried crispy and very delicious. For the meal we ordered the bag containing head off shrimp, crawfish, snow crab legs, sausage, corn on the cob, red potatoes with the cajun sauce and heat level of hot. There were three of us big eaters so I was concerned that it wouldn't be enough food even with the appetizers and beers 2 of us were consuming. My concerns were unfounded as the portions were plentiful as well as flavorful. Thankfully the table top was covered with a sheet of paper because we created a real mess. Everything was very good but I especially enjoyed the sausage and the red potatoes. I find crawfish to be a lot of work for little food so I didn't partake of the crawfish as much as the shrimp, sausage and red potatoes. Something about sea food makes me indulge in too much beer ( not driving ), it might be the memories I have from stays at the lake and visits to the ocean for relaxation. The server was great, even though the patio wasn't set up for dining at the time she set it up for us. The service we received was above and beyond with attention to our needs and a very pleasant demeanor. We left a very generous tip because we left a mess and she had to set up the patio for us. The prices were in line with the quality and quantity of food we enjoyed. The place was a little dark inside for the middle of the day so we chose patio dining. I will make Spice Sea a place on my list to frequent on my many visits to Arizona. read more

We had the soft shell crab and spicy edamame for appetizers. My husband says he found his seafood because he doesn't have to work for it. He can eat the whole thing!
