SEAHOLIC Houston Seafood & Oyster Bar — Restaurant in Jersey Village

I'm giving this a four because I liked the ambience and I don't want to be biased just because of my personal preference. For starters, let me give you a little history. We have been going to Cajun Fuze for years for this authentic Asian fusion Boiling Crab type experience. For a while they were the only ones in the area that had anything like this. The only ones in the North. So I kind of developed a liking or an acquired taste for their special sauces. I appreciate the the different flavors that you can get as well as the different levels of heat for your food. This place I quickly saw that they did not have those options, or as many. They had the garlic butter flavor and then different levels of their Shazam sauce. What kind of annoyed Us in the beginning was the fact that our waiter was changed several different times ( this was done by writing a name on the plastic table covering with a black Sharpie), so this obviously took up some time to actually get our order started and we were all very hungry. When we finally did get our waiter Vu, he messed up simple things like a lemonade with no ice as my son requested, or when I inquired about what type of tea was used for the sweet tea (black) and opted out because black tea is caffeinated, he still brought my husband and I a sweet tea. Not to mention the tea was not sweet. At that point my nerves started getting a little bad and I started looking at the drink menu even though I didn't come in to taste the alcoholic beverages, I kinda needed one at that point. Trying to save the night and not cause any progressive issues I had a little chit chat with Vu to get an understanding. I told him that I wanted to be compensated for something since we had already started off on a bad foot and we haven't even gotten our food yet. He understood and obliged, and we were good to go after that. I did not want a bad experience after my family and I had waited such a long time to eat and only to experience bad service. So we ordered a variety of things: I had the king crab (one pound) with corn and potatoes and the extra Shazam flavor, house gumbo, along with a strawberry pina colada extra shot. My husband ordered crawfish along with corn and potatoes and he tried the green apple lychee sangria (he thought it was really good). My son ordered snow crabs in the garlic and butter flavor. My gumbo came out first, and we all liked it. Very meaty pieces of shrimp, chicken, crawfish and sausage. The Broth was nice too. Next my son's snow crabs out and honestly I thought they were king crabs! The pieces were huge. I double checked with the waiter because I didn't want any mix ups with our orders, but he clarified they were snow crabs. Not sure if I should've been concerned or not. O_o My husband and I laughed at each other because if that's how the snow crabs looked, I can't imagine how the king size looked. Sure enough, the king crab looked like colossal dinosaur crabs.You'll see in my attached pics. All in all good food; the sauce was a bit different than what I'm accustomed to, but that doesn't make it bad. To me, it had high notes of oregano in it. So as I said, it could just be a personal preference. What really saved the day was Vu's attempt to just make sure we were happy despite the mishaps. I'm not sure if he was new or not because he had to ask others questions about certain things. Also, the place is well kept. I came here years ago when it was fist a wing place, and that was good too. I love how the patio is here, and also the restrooms were clean. I like how the wash area is outside of the lavatory, so the restrooms would not have to be tied up to just wash your hands. Other details I like were the complimentary gloves and bibs for your seafood bag. Nice! The music was good, and the waiters were...

UPDATE 4/18/2025: JUST left about 30 minutes ago. . I ordered the special which is crawfish 5.99/lb max 3lbs. I added 2 eggs and a sausage. While there, I noticed they only gave me 1 egg and the sausage. So they take back my entire bag and bring it back and I see I have 2 eggs. Great, right? WRONG. They took back the sausage and added the egg. I paid for all of it. At this point, i am home so it's no need to address bc I'm knowing what they will say which is why I didn't check while I was there, but I did and all I was missing was the egg so once I saw it there it was all good in my mind. I couldn't understand why they would need to take the whole bag back and not just give me an egg, but now I see why. However, that's disgusting. I had already touched my sausage and I'm sure they took it back to give to someone else. It was the guy behind the bar in a blue work shirt and if he is honest he will admit, but I'm sure he will conveniently say he don't remember which is why I just went ahead and left the review. I wouldn't order eggs or sausage, especially if they are casually taking things back and reselling them and again ... I PAID FOR 1 SAUSAGE AND 2 EGGS. ALL I GOT WAS THE 2 EGGS. THEN they tried giving me a hard time about taking my crawfish togo since it's a dine in special, but I wasn't made aware of that when I ordered. It was only $2.50 for the sausage, BUT STILL, I PAID FOR IT AND SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT. I come here weekly and tonight was the worst service ever. I still love their oysters, but idk if I will continue to give them my business. Tonight was just too much!

10/10 recommend. I go every week for the Rockefeller oysters and they never disappoint. The boiled seafood is also amazing. Boudin balls, superb. My food is always cooked to order and comes out piping hot. Prices are fair. Drinks are delicious. Great service. I really have no complaints. I hope they...

This is a new buffet at the corner of 1960 and veterans memorial.

The staff is pleasant and attentive and the prices are reasonable for dinner and lunch. However the dinner prices are charged all day on the weekend so be ready for that.

The sushi and sashimi bar is very high quality with good preparation and delicious choices.

The Hibachi Bar is also excellent and will cook small steaks to order. They made both medium rare and rare steaks correctly for me. The steaks are not top sirloin but they have a good texture and taste with a delicious line of fat on one Edge.

The Hibachi Bar has exceptionally good shredded beef. With a selection of vegetables and a choice of garlic, butter, and hot chili oil.

On the buffet, they have a wide selection of entrees and vegetables. Most appear to be mildly sweetened so watch out for that if you're diabetic. One thing I noticed was they have bok choy which I love.

The only negative on the buffet bar is the batter. The batter is heavy and hard instead of light and crispy. I gave them feedback about this so I hope they will address it.

The buffet has many kid-friendly options and also has enchiladas which were tasty.

The fruit and vegetable bar is quite good. So far the melon has always been ripe. They're aggressive about keeping the entire Buffet area very clean.

Salmon is grilled instead of baked and I did not like the taste. But I didn't mark them down for that since that is a preference.

The desserts are quite nice looking though I didn't eat any of them except for the fruits and some of the ice cream. The ice cream was of good quality. Not super premium ice cream but quite creamy and non icy with a good flavor.

With the many different kinds of vegetables, I consider this to be an excellent vegetarian...
