Eat Eat

It's named something different now: Ốc Lẩu Nướng. Went here last week and loved everything I ordered. Steak & eggs on hot clay dish, razor clams (xao me), and scallops (with mo hanh). Steak was incredibly soft yet flavorful. Clams and scallops were of good quality, in my opinion. I think if you're craving seafood street dishes like the kinds they serve in Vietnam, then definitely come here. You'll get your satisfaction without actually having to fly across the world. I'll be back, I'm sure. I'll likely bring friends and family too.

Date: Friday, November 15th, 2024Meal: Dinner DeliveryTime Ordered: around 4pmHow Ordered: DoorDashTime Arrived: around 5pmDelivered to: Evergreen*Crawfish: Frozen ($16.85) - Garlic Butter Fuego, Hot*Premium Clams: Fresh ($18.85) - East2West, Hot*Shrimp: Headon ($18.85) - SJ Lovers, HotNot sure why this spot is listed as closed. I ordered from them last week via DD. Tho the storefront was called Eat Eat Seafood. But the addy is the same and some menu pix on Yelp say Eat Eat Seafood.I adore seafood in a bag. The hubby, not so much. So when I'm on my own for a meal, I tend to gravitate towards crawfish. There are plenty of spots in SJ and I was in the mood to try a new spot. Decided to give this resto a shot since DD was offering $12 off.The app doesn't list any sauce options, so I had to go off the pix on Yelp and make notes. I believe they offer three unique sauces, so I decided to try them all. (Some menus list Viet Cajun as an option, but that's just a mix of SJ Lovers and Garlic Butter Fuego.) I tend to like thick sauces since they stick to the seafood. So I thought SJ Lovers would be my least fav. Surprisingly, I liked the flav of this sauce the most. Garlicky and savory. They did put it in a separate bag which I thought was weird, but I just poured it on top on the shrimp. The shrimp by far was the best item. Big and meaty. My second favorite sauce was the Fuego. It stuck to the crawfish nicely. Great cajun spice. But I found this a touch too sweet for my palate. Also, the crawfish claws were huge! I tried eating some as to not waste the meat, but it was so dry and stuck to the shell. I found myself wishing the claws were smaller as it was just wasted weight.The clams were were good. Tender and juicy. I just wished I liked the East2West sauce. It was creamy, but not tangy. I ended up squeezing all the limes they gave me into this bag. Still didn't provide much contrast since the limes were kinda dry. I also found the sauce waaay too sweet. I'm not a sweet and savory girl, so this was my least fav.I didn't finish the bags, so I ended up mixing the Fuego and SJ sauces and saved the rest for later. The heat on this definitely ramped up as it was super spicy two days later. I actually didn't find any item very spicy when I first ate it. Letting it marinate definitely brought out the heat.An okay place to grab some seafood in a bag. If I ever order from them again, will probably get the Viet Cajun sauce. The SJ Lovers balanced out the sweetness of the Garlic Butter Fuego nicely. I just hope next time the tail ratio is better on the crawfish. It kinda feels like you are getting gypped when the bag was mostly giant claws. The shrimp is solid tho if that's all you are aiming for.REVIEW #3624

Currently under new management. This little mom & pop shop is run by the sweetest Vietnamese lady who works extremely hard, absolutely killing it in the kitchen.Every visit has been met with attentive service, genuine friendliness, and the desire to satisfy it's customers. Meals here have ranged from:-Live [fresh] Crawfish-Shrimp-Seafood Stir Fry Egg Noodles-Frozen Crawfish-Mi Nam Vang [egg noodles]. Served dry. -Ribeye Steak w/ FriesFood generally is really good. Flavors are delicious and the seafood is fresh, aside from the frozen crawfish that is currently the only thing available when it comes to these little critters. My go-to flavoring is the SJ Lovers sauce!! The pickled peppers are highly addictive and pair perfectly with the Nam Vang noodles. Ribeye steak has an Asian flare to it so if you are anticipating your typical Americanized slab of beef, this ain't it. 4 solid stars. My little family and I enjoy our visits here.** please be advised that EE's cost for live & frozen crawfish are the SAME!! Do yourself a favor and hold off on the frozen stuff because it's not worth the $$$. **

I have been here once and know that I will be back for more.I love that they open early in the morning, unlike most seafood boil restaurants don't open until late afternoon. I also like that they have other options other than just seafood so you can go with friends who don't eat seafood.I went on a weekday before 11am; a friendly lady greeted me and explained the menu. Since crawfish wasn't in season, I ordered their frozen crawfish in SJ Love sauce. Although it was frozen, it was large in size and very tasty. Some frozen crawfish has plasticky smell/taste, these didn't. I also ordered their coconut snails, which were cooked to perfection with just the right amount of sauce. I will go back to try their other items very soon.If you love seafood boils and want to have them for lunch, come to this place!

The best snail restaurant is in the town. 1st Check-in: We ordered: Oc Huong Xao Bo Toi 5/5; Nghe Hap Thai 5/5, Oc Mong Tay Xao Me 5/5, So Diep Nuong Mo Hanh 5/5, so Nhat nuong trung ca 5/5, sun ga chien gion 5/5 and Mi xao Hai san (my point:4.8/5 and my bf 5/5)2nd Check-in: We had Seafood Hotpot 6/5 and So Diep nuong trung ca 5/5Food:We love all the snail dishes. The taste is delicious. I am impressed with the garlic butter flavors. Service: At the first time check-in, we waited for 30' because of the full table. However, the staffs were very friendly and fast service. The 2nd time, the service was super. Ambiance: it is Vietnamese Restaurant - Family styles/quan nhau, so it can be loud but it is ok with my bf and me. Overall: 5/5

New business. Many logistics have not been worked out. No sign in sheet in front. Did not use PoS system. We put in order already but 2 people came by to ask whether we have ordered yet. One of the people who asked was the one who took down our order originally. What duh. Needless to say high inefficiency and looooong wait time. It turned out the person who took our order didn't turn it in the kitchen. Waited for about 30 mins to get seated. Wait another 40 mins or so to get our beers then food later. Did not like crawfish/Cajun sauce since it seems to have the consistency of tapioca starch. The Manila clams were over cooked/shrank. The oc dish did have a flavorful smoke smell but it was over cooked and chewy. Liked the sauce dish. Surprised to see this place is crowded on a Tuesday night. Maybe we ordered the wrong dishes. But definitely slow service.

It's Father's Day and my dad wanted Cua Rang Muoi (roasted salt & black pepper crab) so I looked up on Yelp and decided to give this place a try. I called to place an order and they said the food will be ready in 15 minutes. There was a slight language barrier so I had to speak Vietnamese to them. The level of sauces/spices is kinda confusing since the cashier didn't explain/describe it to be via phone. I asked her about the Crab special and she said it was ~$40 something. We decided to order just one to see if it was worth it. My dad really liked it! He ate the whole crab by himself lol.. good flavor. We also ordered the Hu Tieu Nam Vang (egg noodles & rice noodles) with soup ~$13.85 -- it's not bad, good portion and appreciate the large container of soup on the side and bean spouts/herbs! I just wished the rice noodle (pho) was a little softer. I was a little too al dente for my liking so I have to add more broth and reheat in the microwave a little more. Clams with garlic butter fuego sauce (mild) ~$17.85. There were a good amount of clams coated in the sauce. Smelled really garlicky and yummy! I appreciate the packaging so it wouldn't leak. Everything was $78 which is a decent pricing considering how big the crab was! Contactless payment. Staff were wearing masks. There was a shield between customers and employees for safety reasons. Fast service and nice employees. As of 6/20/21, customers were able to dine in. There is no outdoor dining. Take out available. I'll be back to try some of their other seafoods and sauces next time!

We ordered some seafood boil from here through Postmates. We got all the seafood with the Garlic Butter Fuego Sauce. The sauce is pretty sweet. We prefer savory sauce over this. All the seafood were big and fresh. The clams and shrimps were quite big. Some crawfish were big but some were small. Dungeness crab was good too. The medium spice is very spicy. I almost died when I put a little chunk in my mouth. Mild was perfect spice for me. We ordered 1 lb crawfish in hot spice and it came with just the sauce. 2 lbs of crawfish were in medium and another 2 lbs in mild. It was weird. If you like sweet sauce and fresh seafood, then this is for you...unfortunately it's the sweet sauce that wasn't for us.

I call & ask if there crawfish is fresh & they tell you yes than 6lbs later & most of them were so bad & taste so gummy. You can tell it was mixed with some frozen old ass stuff. We pretty much toss half away cause it was just so bad. Never again.

The good:I've had take-out from here a few times now but have only tried their hu tieu nam vang noodle soup for under $14/each. The portion is rather large and is enough to feed 1.5 people per bowl. You can order it with the broth or get it "dry" with a sauce. For their take-out, the noodle dish is nicely packaged in black Tupperware with all of the fixings atop so it is easy to just bring home and add the boiled broth on top. I like celery that accompanies the dish because it adds a spicy freshness and crunch. The broth is rich in pork bone flavor and feels light. I liked that they served it with a side of pickled jalapeno peppers and lime wedges.The bad:Their hours are 9AM-10PM but the hu tieu nam vang is only served until 5PM. The noodles were already pre-softened or cooked so it got pretty soft/soggy when I added the boiling broth on top. The interesting:I've never seen a crawfish place sell other dishes outside of the typical Cajun crawfish boil entrees like corn, sausage, other seafood and garlic noodles. This place is unique because they sell hu tieu and yellow noodle dishes.
