I loved the spices they used here for their Cajun and lemon pepper recipes! My sister and I ordered the pound of shrimp, potatoes, corn, and some sausages. Everything tasted fresh, the drinks were nice, and the place was very clean for it being so busy. The staff were attentive and aware of their tables and when to clean and when to seat in a timely manner. Thank you for the great food we’ll definitely be back.

First time and I absolutely loved it!!! I was skeptical since I never really see this place packed, but I’m surprised it’s not flooded with people! Super tasty, delish, flavorful, and addicting! We got the #2 bucket thing (forgot the name of it, but its the second page of the menu) and it was fulfilling for four adults! We had plenty left over too. The garlic noodles are sooo yummy too! Clearly its messy as any other like restaurant, but its so worth it. A real experience!

Eating here was an unusual experience and I would recommend visitors to know a few things before they enter. (1) they serve cooked crab/lobster/etc in a plastic bag with all the gravy in it (2) they don't serve spoons, forks or even plates... (3) you need to be comfortable eating with your hand (4) and its going to get very very messy. That being said, I would still give it 5 stars for the experience and the food. We went here for my son's birthday and he loved it so much that we were shocked.:) Definely a place I would visit again with my son.

Despite being busy, the staff did an excellent job making sure that we had everything needed to feast! Along with the appetizers, we ordered the kickin combo deal #1. For a family of four, all of this food was more than enough; we underestimated how much food was going to be in the seafood bag. Overall, the food is a little on the saltier side. We loved how thinly sliced the fries were, making them extra crispy. Calamari was excellent; they were crunchy and tasty. We wished we substituted the garlic noodles for another order of calamari! The garlic noodles became overbearing after the first bite; I wouldn't recommend it. We would come here again.

I love the food, I just wish they had better staffing. We came here around 4 pm on Sunday, and the wait was about 40 minutes. Half of the restaurant was empty, but they can seat people because they are under staffed. Even when we finally sat down, it was hard to get a waiter for anything. The demand is obviously there, why not hire a few more waiters so more people can enjoy this food!

Unconventional presentation (lime thrown on the paper covered table, awesome, tasteful seafood delivered in a plastic bag, gloves to protect your fine skin...). We ordered Garlic noodles (must to be tried, generous garlic amount in them!), 2 lb crawfish, mussels, a crab. We played with spice levels of the Kickin sauce, enjoyed both Medium and Spicy. Liked the place a lot. Going to come again and get clams, shrimps. Oh! We had fresh oysters! Best appetizer ever! Servers were very polite, surprisingly nice for such a busy place!

This place is busy, be prepared for some wait. The seafood here is very fresh, I would recommend ordering some shrimps and some clams, they are really tasty. The garlic Noodle is pretty nice as well if you like garlic, the scent is very strong. Also, order some Cajun fries, they are AMAZING!!! The spice is very special and the fries are so crunchy that you won't ever have enough of it.

Been going here since they first opened. Service is faster. The spicy spicy is inconsistent it ranges from a little to unbearable heat. I only get seafood at these Cajun spot max spice level. They can do more when it comes to phone orders but overall good experiences throughout years.

The food was delicious, especially the garlic noodles. I've never been that messy in public before 😳. The servers did everything we requested despite being incredibly stressed out. My only real gripe is that the music was way too loud. I would still go again, because delicious.

Having worked in East San Jose in the past, I’d drive by this place often but never tried it until yesterday. The wait wasn’t too long for a Saturday night as got there a bit early. Onto the food, we ordered the middle feast kickin’ style and spicy, it came with 1 lb shrimp, 1 lb crawfish and 1 lb of crab legs with sausage, corn and potatoes. Food arrived fairly fast after ordering and was good, I enjoyed the seafood and the seasoning on it was good. Didn’t get any photos though as started eating right away and it does get messy as the entire meal was more or less eaten with your hands.
