My dad randomly associates South Bay with Cajun, so every time we're south, he wants to try a new spot. I saw this spot was highly rated and the food didn't disappoint. The pick 2 combo means you can get one side and 2lbs of seafood, but you can do 1/2 lbs! This was great as it meant my dad and I could try more. For my side, I got sausage and yummm - good spice. I appreciated that it came out in a tin as I'm not a big fan of plastics in general. The sauce here is so yummy - they definitely add a lot of garlic butter. The price is a little higher than other places, but I think it's worth it as 1) the Cupertino mark up 2) you automatically get potatoes and corn! The soft shell crab fried basket was really good. Both the Cajun fries and crab were seasoned so well. The crab was perfectly cooked as well. The ambiance is nice with a lot of private booths if you want to be more secluded but also lots of options for large group seating. Jennie was also in the corner if you don't want to travel to Seoul for a picture with her! The reason I deducted a star is the service. Although I appreciated a lot of small touches, like complimentary hair ties for the long haired folks, an interaction at the end left a bad taste in my mouth. Overall, they were kind and prompt but I felt that they were not communicative. We sat next to a sign that said $2 beers all day M and Tu, with no small print. I pointed to that sign and said my dad wanted an 805. I noticed they turned the sign around after I did that, but didn't think anything of it. We were charged full price and my dad didn't want to make a fuss at the moment, but I feel that they should have told me when I had pointed to the sign (and they noticed if they turned the sign around) or charged me $2.

Great service, servers were really helpful and quick to bring us what we requested. Food came out pretty quickly and pretty decent portion for most it. Sauce could be a little more flavourful, but the fresh crawfish made it all worth it! Definitely need to come in on Tuesday next time!

Love how the food comes in a pan and not the typical plastic bag! The sauce the seafood came in was so good. We got the pick 4 boiler combo and it was a great size to share for 4 people. Paired so well with rice and the garlic noodles. The servers were friendly and food came out promptly. Would come back!

The quality of the seafood is fresh and the seasoning is delicious! It's definitely recommended to bring friends and family to be able to share different items and try them all. The service was also very fast and friendly! Kaung and Aung both went above and beyond to make sure the food was to our liking and that we felt taken care of.

I came here because I was recommended by a friend. The service was excellent, it was a quick turnaround with the food and drinks. The food was amazing, the Loui seasoning was great as well as the spice of the food. It has to be one of the best seafood boil restaurants I've had in the Bay Area. Also, the Soju mojito was so good, it was refreshing and had a little kick to it. The restaurant has a nice vibe to it, staff was friendly and the menu made it easy to decide on what to get. Overall this place is definitely one of the best in the area, and I will definitely come back in the near future.

We came with a party of 5 on friday around 7:05 and put our names down. It seemed fairly busy and we got seated around 7:30. there's a ton of parking around the area since it's near a ton of shops. The food came out relatively fast. Garlic noodles: 4.5/5 these were actually pretty good. Good garlic flavor and you could taste the butter in the sauce too. Wish the portion was a bit larger but otherwise no complaints. Soft shell crab basket: 5/5 The soft shell crab was lightly fried and super crispy, the sauces paired nicely with it too. You get a TON of fries - probably enough for 3-4 people. Shrimp and Crawfish boil: 3/5 The flavor was pretty good, there was a good amount of seafood too. The crawfish was a bit small and after a while the whole dish felt a bit too oily. Beignets (free): 6/5 these were amazing, hot and fluffy with a light crisp on the outside. Even if you can't get these for free, i'd recommend ordering them, they were that good. Service was also really good, our server was super friendly and we also got free dessert for writing reviews, so that's a plus. Some of the food felt a bit pricey but i guess that's to be expected for seafood.

Came here for the first time with some friends and we got the 4lb combo, it was a good amount of food for 4 adults. It came with 3 sides (we got Cajun fries and garlic noodles). We all really enjoyed the live crawfish, shrimp, mussels. Seafood tasted fresh and the service was great. They were very attentive about refilling our waters. I would come back here again for seafood boil! There's also lots of dessert and food options in the plaza so that's a plus.
