This is a massive establishment, no doubt designed to keep lines to a minimum. Came here for happy hour so we primarily order those items (truffle fries, crispy garlic brussel sprouts, and a dozen raw oysters), but also added the uni pasta, which was the best part of the meal. They most definitely do NOT skimp on the portion size. We felt bad for the staff as most of the pasta we gave our 16-month-old son ended up on the floor, he spilled a few cups of water, and we must've used an entire box of napkins. But they were gracious and kind throughout. We will be back.
This was our first time and the food was delicious. Happy hour prices were on point. Our waitress was exceptional, took good care of us. The shrimp garlic noodles were awesome. Will definitely go back again.
Great during happy hour but a very expensive to go if you do not come during then. My favorite things to get during happy hour are 1 dollar oysters and the garlic noodles. I usually get between 6 to 10 oysters and then fill up my stomach with the garlic noodles. They also have some beer and wine on the happy hour menu that are reasonably priced so check that out.
The food is good, but the happy hour pricing is what makes it worth coming here. They have happy hour in during the typical after-work hours, but also late night.
I give four stars instead of five because I don't think that the quality of the food is good enough when paying the full price for items. Things are all reasonably good, but not good enough to justify the prices they ask.
This fun place could get busy during happy hour, especially so with their $1 oysters. These are not the best but hey, where else can you find $1 oysters. The deep fried catfish is super good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. On the other hand, for some reason the deep fried fish is oily. Place is huge but, surprisingly, the noise level is not bad. Parking is free, major credit cards accepted.
