Had the snow crabs legs and stone crab in garlic butter sauce. I only went for the little spicy since I’m a light weight when it comes to spicy food. The sauce and flavor was absolutely delicious. It had some corn and potatoes thrown in. Only thing I didn’t like were the potatoes. They tasted undercooked. I had also the cold milk tea which was surprisingly good as well as the hot milk tea. The place is nice but a little chilly. This place isn’t big. There seems to be a extra party room or something in the back. Not sure.

Loved it, went here with 2 friends last night. It is a bit pricey but I think it was worth it for how great the food was. I had the shrimp and bacon sliders #amazing and the snow crab legs with the medium spice. This is an eat with your hands kind of restaurant. They give you gloves and a bib and you just dig in! I would definitely go back again.

Very good. Quiet location and food Freshly made ! Never a long wait. I’ve been here three times in a week and i brought my friends along. They all enjoyed it. Tina at the front desk is very pleasant!! I either get C1 or A1 off the menu, medium spice and the holy crab sauce. You can’t go wrong with the holy crab sauce. And it’s a MUST that you order some calamari. The sauce that comes with the calamari is AMAZING. I Had to edit my review because i just went again about a week ago and plan to go back next week. I think I’ve been there about 10 times now within the last 2-3 months. I love this place!!

If you’re an adventurous seafood lover you are guaranteed to love this hidden gem. This is the best meal we have had during our two weeks in New York. Delicious flavours, great value, and unlike anything else. Who would have thought Cajun Chinese would be so delicious?! Totally unique and unforgettable.
