    seafood combo
    Amanda W.

    Came back with expectation to be as good as the last time i went. But was disappointed bc the clams was not too fresh, the sauce was not too flavorful and a lil bit watery almost. Needed more seasoning in their sauces. Service was very friendly and space is very clean, the ambiance is very calming almost felt like an aquarium spa. Garlic bread was good as usual with the combo, and we tried their spicy twist chicken wings, which was tasty gave me kfc china vibes. I am disappointed tho, in their seafood boil this time.

    Sweet Potato Fries
    George G.

    I felt like having some healthy fish like a pan fried or seared fish. In this case there weren't any. Unfortunately, they only had fried and a lot of shellfish, so I decided to have the lobster bisque is actually really good. The garlic bread was pretty decent to dump into the soup. The sweet potato fries they were all stuck together not that crispy. We ordered the lobster roll delicious overpriced, but delicious linguine with meatballs. I'm never gonna order that again, very bland it was like a mixture of Italian and Japanese meat dumpling flavor. I pretty much left half of it. The place is nice. Service is OK. I don't think I'm coming back..

    Mango mojito and coconut martini

    What a delight to find this spot ! Hidden in a neighborhood that dont have many restaurants. So glad the bf suggested this spot for father's day dinner. We came pretty late with no RSVP and was seated right away. I must say they have really good cocktail drinks here ! We ordered a few to try and really fell in love with the coconut martini! The seafood boil is very straight to the pt, i really enjoyed the "medium" sauce that we got on the side, and my bf and bro both enjoyed the garlic oil sauce. Comes with garlic bread for dipping! Oysters were also a hit! They have a private room on the 2nd floor which is great for parties! Saw a party finish up and came downstairs. Theres also a bar upstairs that comes included with the room. Next time we plan for an event will definitely consider coming here!

    Fried Shrimp Burger with Fries
    Xue Lin L.

    Came here for lunch and it was underwhelming, but service was very good. We got a dozen oysters and they didn't taste fresh- the oysters were dry and completely lacked any sweetness or saltiness. My shrimp burger was okay, lacked seasoning and the bun looked old. I think they'd be better off serving po boys bc I didn't like having the tail on in my burger. On the bright side, the sweet potato fries were really good, way better than the normal fries. My friend ordered a regular cheeseburger with fries and it was just fine- average tasting burger. Overall, I may revisit to try their other seafood but was so disappointed in their oysters (wish I had taken a photo because they looked so sad and dry).

    $6: Clam Chowder
    Ashlyn K.

    My friend and I decided to check out Twist Seafood and Bar around 5:30pm on a Sunday. If you're in Brooklyn to check out Industry City, you should definitely stop by Twist! They have happy hour on the weekdays but we went on a Sunday so were not able to partake. The outdoor dining area is quaint and lovely, especially since the surrounding area is not too busy. Tables are socially distanced and they make good use of the call button for service (the last time I've seen those was in Korea!). We ordered clam chowder ($6), 1 pound of clams with garlic butter sauce ($14), and a lobster roll ($15). The meal also came with complimentary garlic bread, which was warm, flavorful, and the perfect crisp level. In fact, everything at Twist had great flavor! For the clam chowder, they did not skimp on the clams, and they were huge and juicy (see picture!). My only critique was that I thought the soup base could've used a touch more seasoning. All seafood used in the dishes we ate tasted fresh and delicious. The lobster roll also had a generous serving of lobster. At first, I was worried the clams were not going to be enough for me, but the mix of clams, potatoes, and corn was more than enough. The next time I stop by, I may try the mild hot sauce instead of the garlic butter. My stomach is a little sensitive to an overpowering butter flavor, and was starting to get slightly queasy. Overall, I thought that Twist offered seafood at reasonable prices with generous servings. I'm sure they will do well post-covid, but are also operating in a covid-safe manner. I left happy as a clam!

    Clam chowder with actual large chunks of clam
    Sarah E.

    The picture does not do this clam chowder justice, it was so delicious, I will literally make the 45 minute track to get this clown chowder, it has actual nice big hardy chunks of clams.

    Left to right: baked oysters, lobster roll with sweet potato fries, seafood deluxe linguine with twist sauce
    Dorothy Y.

    3.5* Recommended to come here by my neighbors. It's three blocks from Costco so convenient for anyone who wants to go before or after grocery shopping. Inside has 10 tables (or more if you break up the four seats into two for two) and a handful of seats at the bar. No dividers between tables but they seat parties separate from each other (well there were only 3 parties when we went). They also have a tent thingy at the side of the restaurant for outdoor dining. I personally wouldn't wanna sit in their outdoor area because it's at the side of the restaurant without windows so you can't see what's going on inside and vice versa. Turns out it's run by Chinese people. They speak mando and a little bit of canto. Appreciate how they offered hot or cold water. Hot please~ I'm not interested in the seafood boil so I went with all the other things. Ordered: clam chowder, lobster bisque, baked oyster, seafood deluxe pasta with twist sauce, and lobster roll with sweet potato fries Clam chowder Lukewarm. It's not creamy (not necessarily the viscosity) and seafoody enough but I like how it has a lot of pepper and veggies. Lobster bisque Less warm than the clam chowder. Even worse is that the heat is uneven. Did they microwave this ? Tastewise I agree with other people that it's not as good as the clam chowder. I only took a sip and my impression is it reminds me of herbal grass jelly, not in a bad way. Baked oyster They have baked oysters, mussels, and clams but chose oysters because we thought they'd be most meaty. Turns out it's so tiny, smaller than the mussels and clams, like the size of a nickel. I don't like the mayo and roe added here. It overpowers the oyster and feels heavy in the mouth. Seafood deluxe linguine Chose the deluxe because it seemed to have a little bit of everything and I was too lazy to eat crab legs. Chose the twist sauce because it seems more special than marinara and cream. Waitress confirmed that it's a little spicy and that's all the details she gave. It's actually a cream sauce with garlic and some spicy oil. It smells better than it tastes. Not much flavor only a little heat. It came out quite watery which I wonder if it's because there's no pasta water to thicken it. I still think this is the best option out of the three sauces. Linguine is smooth but not chewy. Italians don't be offended but they told us they rinse it in cold water. Seafood overall was fresh. The cuttlefish was slightly too salty. Mussels were overcooked. Lobster roll with sweet potato fries The lobster roll filling had a lot of celery and lemon juice. It was really refreshing. The mayo was a bit too much for me. Lobster wasn't as sweet or juicy as I would like but overall ok. The bread was bad. It's so dry and rough. I can't tell if the lettuce layer between the bun and filling was supposed to prevent the bun from being soggy but parts of it still did. The bread isn't properly toasted. I don't see any color. It has very faint garlic flavor that I suspect if any was added. I'd like more garlic and butter please! Sweet potato fries were really good. They were still crunchy on outside and airy and fluffy on the inside when cold. They came out hot don't worry. They didn't seem oily so I wonder if they used an air frier or oven (maybe not because there weren't obvious patches of color). The soft drink offer they give for check ins is a fountain drink rather than a separate can. Also they give plastic utensils. I don't like that. Overall this place is solid considering the prices and seafood freshness. It just has a lot of room for improvement. Also I don't expect to crave for this type of food or any of their items.

    One dozen Raw Oysters
    Sandar S.

    Fresh, delicious and yummy What else I can ask for? We ended ordering two dozens oysters. mussels and fried calamari and sweet potato fries are additions to our feast. Definitely coming back for second, third and so on.....

    Inside

    Great service, the waitress serving our table was very accomodating of all my questions. The garlic bread was very good! Will definitely order that again. The twist sauce is tasty and I like that they have a very spicy option. For side orders, they have pasta, corn, potato, but no rice. Wish they do because I love eating this type of food with rice. Good selection of ipa beers. Ample amount of seating. Didn't have to wait to get seated. Will definitely be back! Close to industry city. I love going there and now I can come here right after. Will definitely be back!

    Sweet potato fries
    Janet Y.

    I came here for dinner in September when it was still nice enough to sit outside for outdoor dining. They have booths set up inside a open structure with a roof and 3 sides covered which was great so you don't have to worry about rain or breathing in exhaust fumes from cars driving by. The food unfortunately was just ok. Maybe I came on an off day since there are so many other reviews raving about the quality of the seafood. I ordered the king crab and clams combo with twist sauce and my friend ordered the snow crab and shrimp combo with garlic butter sauce. We both agreed that the king crab and snow crab meat was very salty on it's own. Usually, the meat itself is sweet. The shrimp was fine but my clams were small and had quite a bit of sand in them. The sauce was also lacking in flavor. I'm comparing it to the more popular whole sha-bang sauce from "The Boiling Crab" in LA or even the copycat sauce from "The Boil" in NYC. We ordered the sweet potato fries as appetizer to share which were really good.

    My meal :) (Fried Chicken Burger with Fries)

    Food was so delicious and filling! Delectable and More than exceptional. Workers were so greeting and patient. I felt more than comfortable talking to them! The music, the cleanliness, and the warm air gives this place a 5 star in my books

    The tab

    We were in the neighborhood and ordered something light for lunch. Honestly, we ordered originally the fried chicken burger and fries which came with a free soda. When the chicken burger came over I couldn't identify what park of the chicken it was. The service we said it was the thigh. It didn't resemble a thigh. So I sent it back tack for the shrimp burger. The shrimp burger came with 3 large pieces of shrimp I guess.

    Pina colada $10. Just Ok
    Elena M.

    Giving this place a second chance. Lobster bisque is great. The plate is rather small for the price ($11), but it had 6 large chunks of lobster, thus can't complain Pina colada was Ok. Snow crab bag had 5 legs (what they call "one cluster") for $38, with two clusters the price is $62 (in other restaurants one portion is one crab (10 legs) for about $35) . Also 1/2lb of other seafood of your choice. Lots of potatoes, corn and garlic bread. The taste was good. Service was great this time around (only 3 tables taken on Monday afternoon though). Took 1 star off for the prices, my opinion it's about 35% over value. Will come back

We had stir-fried snails, jellyfish, Dungeness crab, live steamed fish, braised eggplant with fish fillet, stir-fried cauliflower with preserved meats, coral shrimp, sliced conch with crispy tofu, beef with string beans, seasonal vegetables, and fish maw soup. Everything came out hot, delicious, and well seasoned. The Dungeness crab was a standout, and it was refreshing to enjoy such a wide variety of seafood and traditional dishes. My wife was pleasantly surprised by the entire meal. The interior was nicely done and felt different from many other Chinese restaurants in Brooklyn. Service was attentive, and they seated us in a corner where we could enjoy our family conversation without constant interruption. The food came out very quickly, maybe a little too quickly, but we were fine with it. They were unfortunately out of a few fish and clam options, as well as several wines, but it did not take away from a great dinner.

I caught myself digging around with my spoon, searching for a few more chunks of clam in the creamy broth, but I forgave it because the flavor was fantastic. Main event: the Maine lobster roll. Now look, I've eaten lobster rolls all over the Northeast..and a few other places. When you order a lobster roll, you're looking for flavor and simplicity. Red Hook's roll is good. The lobster is fresh. But here's the thing: at an overall tab running around $80 a head, you expect a top-tier entry into the culinary lobster roll pantheon. Instead, it lands on the smaller side of the spectrum. Worse, the kitchen holds back on the seasoning. Lobster is sweet and rich, sure, but it needs a little help...... a hint of herbs, or just a generous hand with the salt/pepper to elevate it from good to great. It's a good roll, but when the check landed, I couldn't help feeling a bit let down. To finish, I looked at the dessert choices. Options were slim, but I ordered the flourless chocolate cake and it did the job. I'll definitely give this place a second visit and possibly try some of the other items on their menu.

The husband enjoyed a nice, cold beer for $6 while I got the Peel N Eat Shrimp for only $10 on the HH menu. While the shrimp are on the skinny side, they were a good deal and got me pretty full. Definitely added some extra Old Bay seasoning on the shrimps. In addition, we ordered the Mac and Cheese ($12) and BKC Burger ($21) with Bacon (+$2). The Mac and cheese here are so cheesy and delicious, definitely a favorite as well. Such a great spot to hang out and enjoy some drinks and seafood. Even for my husband who doesn't eat seafood had a few options luckily. The servers were also very friendly and great vibes all around.

    My first time trying sauerkraut fish was at Young Fish. Stepping into the restaurant, I immediately…read moreloved how spacious it was and how many tables and seats there were. It was kind of giving Hong Kong fast food/cafeteria type of vibes. It wasn't too busy when I went on a weekend for lunch. I love that you get a complimentary side dish with the order, and I went for cucumber salad, but it was served chilled. The salad contained wood ear mushrooms, which are known to release toxins if kept overnight, so I hope it was made the day of and not old! I really liked the udon beef stir fry. It was pretty big for just $13.95, and the udon had a good texture (not too mushy) while the beef tasted fresh. For the sauerkraut fish, you can choose between small and large. I got the small but felt that it was still a lot, so the portions are really generous. You can also choose between three different types of fish: basa, snakehead, and grass carp. The staff said snakehead is the most popular so we just went with that. It was filet (aka deboned) and tender when it arrived. But I think I'm not a big fan of the sauerkraut flavor. Also, it was crazy mala even with just one pepper sign. I'd go back to try the tomato sauerkraut version. I actually liked another fish dish more: garlic grilled fish. It also had a bit of broth that was very tasty. I would get this one again. Ended the meal with complimentary grass jelly!

    Went to Young Fish on 8th Ave with a friend and shared the large chili oil sauerkraut fish with…read morebasa. We knew the large would be big, but it was still more food than we expected once it came to the table. Definitely not something I'd order alone. The broth was sour first, then the spice started building in an amazing way after a few bites. It wasn't painfully spicy or anything, but there was enough chili oil to make us slow down a little. The basa was very soft and picked up a lot of the broth, which I liked. Some pieces had been sitting near the bottom longer and tasted even better. The restaurant is pretty casual. Our food came out quickly. I'd order the same flavor again, but next time I'd either bring more people or get a smaller portion because the large was honestly a lot for two.
