SiStar Seafood

Came here for some seafood while visiting Richmond. The restaurant is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking.Due to COVID, the place had tables and chairs for inside dining, but they were stacked to the side and they only offered pickup orders.We ordered the fish and shrimp platter, which came with fries or coleslaw. We got the fries. We were a few minutes short of the lunch special, where you could get the the same thing, for 3 dollars cheaper (we paid 9 and some change), but with smaller portions. The kitchen is located near the front register and you can watch while your food is being prepared.The menu is, of course, heavy with seafood options in addition to steamed crabs and crabmeat for sale.The fish was thin and fried perfect and crispy. The shrimp as well. Fries were golden and good as well. All in all, a good place to grab a quick bite of seafood when in the area.

Came here right after the airport wanting some seafood. Saw it was highly recommended. First time I was lead wrong. I ordered the steamed shrimp medium spicy the shrimp was barely seasoned seems like they just tossed some seasoning on it and it wasn't marinated. The shrimp wasn't even deveined. We also got the fish sandwich it was pretty much two slices of fish tossed between slices of white bread. The fish had bone in it which is odd for a fish sandwich they are usually deboned.

I go to SiStars at least once a week for lunch! I get the fish sandwich and fries. I'm always greeted with a smile. Love this place!

The worst part of my experience at SiStar is having the food sit in the back, forcing me to smell it the whole car ride back home.I ordered 6 Pieces of Korean Fried Chicken, with the Seafood Platter. (Oysters, Scallops, Shrimp) It tasted just as amazing as it smelled. The Korean Fried chicken was glazed beautifully, and was very sweet and savory. It had an amazing crust, and the 6 pieces was well priced. The Seafood Platter was all done Tempura style, breaded and fried. Each piece was so juicy, especially the scallops. I was expecting to finish the 6 pieces and seafood platter in one go, but it took over two meals. The portions were great for what I had paid.

I've been to this restaurant before without incident but after today I will not be back. Placed an order for fried oysters. They looked yummy but tasted horrible. I sampled one on the way home, turned around and went right back. Less than 5 minute. Owner wanted to explain oysters to me and refund policy. I told them keep them as I would not patronize this business again. Not my first time eating fried oysters and they were not fresh.

Just finishing take out dinner. I got the beef bulging I with side of white rice and Cole slaw. The beef is sweet and delicious. I am not a expect on Korean-food. But I'm happy with the beef. I also get the seafood salad. Which is more than I need but I'm enjoying it. The shrimp in the salad is large. Spouse get the fried shrimp. They are huge. He is quite happy with his meal. Here is a picture of one. Seafood Salad

Got the seafood platter and the food was great. Although the fries seemed like frozen ones, they fried it really well. Their sauce is a bit sweet for me, but I'm sure many might like it and it comes on the sauce so it doesn't touch the platter. I would have given them 5 stars but took one out because their fish has bones, so watch out when you eat the fish. But their scallops, which is small, still tasted great, the shrimps were big compared to other fish market places. This will be my place to go for seafood from now on. Unless they change something

The food is good and reasonably priced. The portion sizes are plentiful. They mainly offer to-go orders because the store is small. The owners are super nice to boot!

Man that food smells bad.... I'll never go back. Lake trout were nice size but it smelled bad and I was hosting a dinner.

The food is incredible! And the owners are some of the kindest people I have ever met, definitely stop in if you want some top tier fried seafood.
