I came here to celebrate my promotion with my family and had an amazing experience!!! Our server, Tim, was the nicest person ever! He checked up on our table consistently and was very kind. The food was delicious and after my meal I got a yummy dessert and 2 really cute keychains along with some bottle openers (^__^) overall a 5 star experience, I will be coming back for more!!!!!! read more

I have always been a big fan of the Angry Crab and places like that and I'm also a big seafood fan in general. I found this place as I was going north on 35th Avenue approaching Greenway. It is on the south east corner. Very comfortable interior with kind of a tropical feel. What's this place apart for me was the menu where I saw and only the seafood options but also some Asian options as well. I started out with some egg rolls which were nice and crunchy and lots of vegetables in them. I also got two mini corn on the cobs and two hard boiled eggs for the protein hit. Corn was cooked perfectly and just had enough butter. My main course was the butterfly shrimp and french fries. The shrimp was nice and crispy on the outside but the crust did not take away from the Flavor of the shrimp nor did the cocktail sauce which had a nice hit of horseradish in it. The french fries were also nice and crispy and lightly salted which if you've read my prayer reviews I never want the fries to be overly seasoned and take the potato taste away and these were very pleasing. My server was very attentive and very pleasant and this place is a definite alternative and even a little more economical then some of the other places that serve the item in the bag with your choice of seasonings and sauces and whatever else you want to throw into it and also some other options as well. read more

Good !!! No more angry crab shack for me !!! Service was great !! All food was good.. Cajun fried rice with shrimp and scallops . The corn is roasted adds a good flavor Fried mushrooms are great with the Cajun seasoning !! We got the snow crab legs with shrimp - reasonably priced and their house sauce os good . You choose your spice level ! If you are delicate to spicy food make sure you tell them not to put the Cajun spicy seasoning on your food . will be coming back for sure !!' They tried giving us plastic forks and no shellers. They need to get those but I'm sure they will realize that soon !! read more

First off great service!!! Becca greeted us as soon as we walked in the door. She gave us options to sit where ever we liked. So we chose the bar (first for us w/ crab boil) and it was ok. Ken was awesome he came over and greeted us, introduced his self and thanked us for coming in. Becca was very attentive and came by periodically to check in on us. Ok ok ok the food!!! AMAZING!!! We did chose medium for our spice level and next time I will try the hot just for a lil more kick. We have the coconut shrimp 10/10, spicy edamame 9.5/10 could have used a little bit more season but spice was good. Combo C w/ add lobster tail was perfect!!! We will for sure be back. Oh yes and the ambiance was chill. There were a few large parties and they were enjoying every minute. All in all great place come try it out and say hello to Ken and Becca!!! read more

My server (if the receipt is correct) was Tien and he was amazing! Great, fast service. The seafood boil was delicious. Spice level is described perfectly, shrimp, crab, and crawfish all tasted very fresh and were cooked perfectly. VERY fair prices. I know everything is expensive these days but for crab, crawfish, shrimp, extras, AND a couple drinks my tab was only slightly over $60. House special sauce was super yummy. If you like spice, hot was very enjoyable, extra and extremely hot would have your nose running but sometimes that's what you need!! It was a Sunday evening, pretty quiet other than a larger party there for their birthday (who shared their cake, very kindly). It's one of those places you almost don't want to share but they deserve so much recognition and business. Great experience and will be back again and again. read more

Great food and d great service. Recommend the seafood fried rice, egg rolls, and boil bags!

Great food! Fun atmosphere! Reasonable! Friendly Service!! Returning soon with family members!

Talk about a bang for your buck! My boyfriend and I have been craving a good seafood boil as we were so sorely disappointed by Angry Crab Shack and their ridiculous pricing. We found the Spice Sea and have since been twice since our first time because of how delicious and excellent the food is. The service is amazing as well and we had a male waiter who deserves all the praise with how kind he is to his customers. We love this restaurant and the cute "sea" theme it has. read more

Tien was our server both times we came. He was amazing and took great care of us. He remembered us when we walked in. Wonderful service! Food was 10/10 amazing. Reasonably priced as well. New favorite seafood boil spot! read more

I love this place. These photos are from 2 separate visits to The Spice Sea but I've been many times and ordered takeout a few times. I've never been disappointed- I have always been impressed by the size and quality of the seafood and the flavor. I believe every time I've been in there it has been the same server. Maybe she is the owner. She is friendly and I appreciate the good service. read more

The Spice Sea - We've order Combo C!! - Seafood Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I've always been a fan of seafood boil and was super excited to try the Spice Sea! The interior is decorated very nicely and has a fun vibe, with a huge projector as well. The service was great-- kind waitstaff that were efficient and attentive. Being a family owned restaurant, you can really tell the difference compared to a chain-- they really care about their food. I ordered the coconut shrimp and seafood boil with their signature house sauce which I highly recommend. Will definitely be back! read more

we got crab hot king crab legs pickup. We got it with tempura shrimp, THe crab, as expected had shells that were a bit soft to crack but we are prepared for that in this house so no biggie. We went with their house sauce and put it up against ours. I liked theirs, its just a tad bit hotter than ours. It wasnt wasn't cheap with 1# of crab) (2 large legs but I didn't care THe tempura is nice and fluffy. Hey, If yer gonna blow $100 on dinner make it tasty. THis place (or yours) will suffice read more

Amazing food and great atmosphere. We prefer it over the Angry Crab Shack. We'll certainly be back. Hoping they add scallops to the menu in the future. In the meantime. read more

A NEW gem in the desert... a Spicy (Spice Sea) SEAFOOD Restaurant!! YUM!!! If you enjoy spice on your seafood, pouring it out on a table, & ripping into it with your bare (gloved) hands... then this is the place for you! We enjoyed the shrimp & lobster with potatoes & an order of oysters. Everything was fresh, hot, & SPICE SEA!! The owners are also the cook & waitress... So, You know you are going to get GREAT service & food. Looking to try something different? Then, this is the restaurant pick for you, today! read more

THE SAUCIEST If you're a fan of seafood and bold flavors, this is your spot! I absolutely LOVED the House Special sauce on shrimp and with crab. It's got a different and distinct kick from the other cajun spots I've tried. Their deep fried softshell crab was also VERY tender, definitely a favorite that I'll have to go back for. Definitely give this spot a try for their flavorful high quality seafood! read more

It's similar to the Angry Crab but much better! All the sauces are good, although very garlic heavy the house is a combination and the most popular. Adding corn on the Cobb and potato to any bag should be suggested the combo with the sauce makes for a very tasty meal. The space is clean and has a cool nautical decor. Definitely a place to check out for Cajun food! read more

Omg. This place is sooo good! Me and my finance went 3 times in like 3 weeks, we love seafood and moved into a new area so we were on the hunt for local spots. I took him here on a whim because neither of us wanted to cook and I do not regret it. When we walked in the restaurant it smelt sooo good and I knew we came to the right place, the staff seems to be family and are all very sweet and all strive to take care of you. We got the Combo B to share and it was plenty for the both of us!! We also ordered drinks and they are nicely priced & super tasty (also have a happy hour) but the star really is the food. I've been to angry crab and juicy but I feel like it's overpriced and compared to here it's definitely no where as near good. The crab here is cooked perfectly!! And so is the crawfish, there house special sauce is perfect and the hot was the right amount of spice without making my lips burn. I recommend anyone wanting a good seafood boil to come here and support a family business while saving some money and enjoying some really bomb ass seafood. The soft shell crab is also amazing def recommend. 10/10 5 stars. read more

We loved this place very good and the serve was awesome. We will be back. Thank you I will recommend this place to my family and friends

Pretty good broiled seafood. Their Cajun fried rice is a must try for sure , il give like a 3.8

I'm from Southern California, and love cajun seafood boil. Went in at 6pm on Sunday as a party of 2. The shrimp was fresh, but the mussels were amazing. They didn't have clam, but I'll be back to try it next time. Restaurant was extremely empty, and I don't know why!!! I never write reviews but I just had to for this one as this place is so underrated. read more

Amazing great atmosphere super cool restaurant you gotta try it. It's the best I've had in a really long time. The service was beyond impeccable ! read more

This spot is the place to be! I love a great cajun place to go to and had difficult finding a place i want in Phoenix. If you want the opportunity to just eat and enjoy some great amazing flavors, this place has it all. I ordered the Cajun Fries and House special Shrimp. House special is a blend of garlic butter and cajun spices which is the best thing ever. I highly recommend the house special flavor and the cajun fries were awesome! If you want an option, this is the place! read more

Excellent food and service at a reasonable price. King crab legs were huge and tasty.

This is a hidden gem! I'm so glad my uncle told me about this place and we were able to try it one Saturday afternoon. The owner waited on us and she was top notch. The food, the ambiance, the music, everything was excellent. Angry Crab who?? This will definitely be my go-to from now on. We had the snow crab legs with the house specialty medium and the spice and flavor was yum! We also shared some oysters on the half shell and were fresh. The only thing that would make this perfect is if they had crayons for the kiddos to draw on the paper on the table BUT she was quick to offer a pen! read more

This company. My family doesn't eat much seafood but there is a super good chicken and chips basket and kid friendly. My family also knows this is my favorite restaurant, and they always have just as much fun as me. Dungeness crab sack is a meal for royalty. Personal Recommendation: *House Seasoning *Hard boiled eggs *Minimal potatoes *Corn *& whatever else you like & sake bombers Always the best dinner. read more

Ken welcomed us to the restaurant. He was very attentive with us. Recommend certain dishes and drinks. Offered us a sample of wine. We ordered the Combo C and we added a lobster tail. The food was delicious. Rebecca made us thirst quenching drinks a Long Island and a Blue Hawaiian. Bothe drinks were delicious. The ambiance was chill and relaxed. We really enjoyed the food and the service. We look forward to coming back again. So when you come ask for Ken! read more

Me and my fiance called to make a pick up order. As soon as someone picked up the phone was emediatley disconnected. We keep/kept trying to call back at different variables. And the line just says busy. Yikes deffinatley not a good way to run a busyness! Was excited to try them, but I'll be going some where else. read more

You ever go somewhere or you just feel very unwelcomed. That is the vibe I got when I came into this restaurant at 7 PM. It was completely empty. They do not close to 9 PM. We ask if they were open and they said yes.. honestly, with the way we were treated I would have prefer them to say hey. Yeah we're closed and and we would be on our merry little way. The waiter was definitely just a kid who's too busy on his phone and watching the game to pay any attention to us. We were craving seafood, but you know the rules empty restaurant equals not so good food service so we opted out for the fried food. What was really concerning what's the fact that the waiter had never tried the food that is being served at this restaurant? every time we ordered something it seem to be an inconvenience for him. he just seem to be an overall bad mood. He snatched OK our menus away legit snatch our menus away. I'm like okay... I guess... I just ... yeah... then again I knew better than to sit down at a restaurant that had absolutely nobody inside of it. I won't be back ever, and I'll make sure to let everyone else know to never come here. I guess only pros to those restaurants at the menu is pretty cheap and affordable .... read more

This was our first time here and we will definitely be back. We shared a1/2 dozen oysters, gumbo and a fried oyster/ fries basket. Prompt and friendly service. Enjoyed the meal...and the live music as well. read more

This local restaurant right in my neighborhood just opened up and what a perfect time to try it but on Mother's Day! I mean who doesn't love seafood especially Cajun style?! We were pleasantly surprised as the seafood in a bag that other similar restaurants offer was Excellent! My two sons got the snow crab while I opted for some clams. Hubby stuck with the basic fish and chips but tried everybody's dish to make sure it was all delicious LOL. If you like to support the independent restaurants as opposed to the national chains, like I try to do, then I recommend The Spice Sea - you won't be an angry crab ! read more

One of my go to spots for seafood boil. The shrimp was a little mushy this time but everything else was delicious.

Ok....now I am picky af when it comes to crawfish places but MAN OH MAN! I went to this place 3 days in a row! Their HOUSE special sauce is one of the best I have ever had throughout the whole west coast. Rockin Crawfish in the Bay Area was my fave until now. Found my Cajun crawfish heaven! Also, that Thai ice tea is solid! Soo damn good! My fave from so many places! I even dropped by there just to order it to start my day. The caffeine in it is legit and got me running on speed mode! I 100% recommend all across the board! Get the HOUSE SPECIAL XSpicy it's perfect for spicy lovers. The XXS got me sweating and leaking boogers but I still couldn't stop eating it. The XSpicy is PERFECT! Also Add crab and mussels! read more

Good food. Seemed fresh. Extremely expensive though. I feel we could have had better quality at a higher class restaurant for about the same price. read more
