We ordered the “Wow the Combo C”, garlic noodle, garlic bread, spicy creamy udon, and an extra lb of peeled shrimp. I thought the Cajun sauce here was very good. Better than boiling crab and other crab places I’ve been. Enough to pack the leftover seasoning home so I could use that in other dishes. Definitely get the peeled shrimp imo. It’s worth the extra cost. Mixed with the Cajun sauce, the peeled shrimp is really solid. Enough to make our group get more.

The garlic noodle was a solid aldente and had good garlic flavor. One of the better ones I’ve had in the Portland area. The portion of the noodles is in a smaller bowl.

The spicy creamy udon was spot on with flavor and noodle texture. Definitely recommend this dish.

The restaurant is Chinese canto run so while they may not be as attentive in refilling waters (especially because you can tell they are pretty busy at new opening), just raise your hand and get their attention and they will serve right away.

As popular as seafood boil places are, I'm really surprised at how poor the food was from here. We ordered the crawfish roll with garlic fries, and a pound of shrimp, a dungeness crab, sausage and potatoes in a garlic butter boil. The crawfish roll had decent flavor, but it tasted like it was just pulled out of a refrigerator and set on a plate. Not even up to room temperature and no warning it was served cold. The shrimp was overcooked and the overflowing amounts of garlic butter overpowered any sort of shrimp flavoring. The sausage was, well, 3 boiled sausage slices. I was also pretty disappointed in the crab. While it was hard and full, they did not care to clean the guts and lungs which are not supposed to be eaten. The service was OK, and the establishment felt a little small for how busy it was. Absolutely not satisfied for...

We got the Cajun spicy, level hot (highest) and it was delicious! We got mild at first and asked for spice on the side and they delivered a mini pot with just the sauce. First round was with mussles, shrimp (head on), and crawfish, with potatoes and corn as sides. We also had garlic bread and crab puffs. Second round was only clams and mussels. Excellent attentive service, chill vibe. Bob and gloves provided. Also loved that they had sinks in the main area so you didn’t have to go all the way to the bathroom or wait for anyone. Def will return!
