    Wear cloths that you don't plan on wearing for weeks.

  • Chris Mateo

    If you like the seasonings, but want it tamed, ask for a salt and pepper cup and some limes. Squeeze the lime juice into the cup and use it with your sauced shrimp, crab, etc.

  • CJ

    Bring your own sharpie to leave your mark on the walls.

  • Daniel Szeto

    Rice is horrible here. Hard and nasty. Not like San Jose

  • Nikki

    Get your hands dirty with an order of the lemon pepper shrimp or crawfish; the lemon pepper sauce has just the right hint of garlic.

  • Daniel Szeto

    Horrible service. They charge you for water but they never refill it... Wack!

    Don't over-think the seasoning, get The Whole Sha-Bang! And the servers are awesome (especially Evelyn).

  • Michelle Yoon

    Vegetarians sit out on this restaurant...they don't have any option for you! I couldn't eat anything, I shouldn't have assumed they would have a vegetarian option.

  • Sasha Lynch

    Medium everything, can't go wrong

  • Dianna Martini

    Careful with "the whole sha bang xxx" its pretty hot!!! And I'm Mexican!

  • Robert Mostacho

    If your new here, know what you want before ordering. Waiters are kind of impatient

  • Roy Mena

    Great Service and Food!

  • Alfonse Surigao

    2lb of shrimp and the whole she-bang medium is so damn good!

  • Anthony Nudo

    Prepare to get your hands dirty!!!

  • Cristina Wong

    The Whole Sha-bang!

  • Sheila K.

    Beware! The medium here was MUCH spicer than San Jose. It was a very unpleasant surprise.

  • Chris Mateo

    If you order the raw oysters, check with the server to see if they have large oysters available; it shouldn't cost too much (if nothing) more.

  • Brian Ibarra

    You will not regret coming here! Go mild cuz that's spicy enough don't go all brave it's real strong stuff but the crab is so addicting with corn Cobb also
