    I think they did very well. All the food is good quality. I really really hope them can survive in SLC and survive for long time. Utah is a cursed state for foodies, I have seen several occasions that restaurants did very well at beginning but goes down quickly.

    Delicious Cajun sauce and fresh seafood at reasonable price. Highly recommend their special sauce (a mix of everything). For appetizers, we ordered the wings basket which comes with Cajun fries. I like how they seasoned the fries and it's very crispy. Service is friendly and the server keeps checking in on us. The atmosphere is a little weird (dark lighting) and looks like a bar instead of a restaurant. No reservations needed. Weekday lunch special available before 3pm.

    I’ve been to many seafood buffets, but this is by far one of the best tasting and cleanest seafood buffets I’ve ever been to. The food is kept and served at the right hot temperature, and the cold items like fresh fruit is actually fresh. There is such a large variety of foods and I was so excited that a variety of boba and drinks are included in the price. I bought the side of lobster with garlic butter sauce and it was tender, juicy, and flavorful. I will tell all my friends and coworkers to come here! The staff and servers were super nice and engaging. I’m traveling through town and I’m so happy I chose this restaurant. This happy customer will be coming again! Thank you.

    If you love crab legs, this is the place for you. Seafood included Cajun season mussels,raw oyster, sashimi, sushi, variety of shrimp dishes and crab legs. There were 3 pans of crab legs and always filled. Crab legs were nicely steamed. I’ve had boil crab in water that were tasteless, but not here. Fry foods were okay. Dessert was the usual Asian picks of coconut and coffee flavoured square cakes, a selected pastry. However, their scooped ice cream had a very homemade texture and taste. Probably the best part of the dessert option. Service: wonderful. Our server wasn’t too overbearing but was very aware of our table clearing the dishes of our crab mess. Excellent customer service. Atmosphere: the lighting was a blue tint on one side of the restaurant. Ocean was definitely the theme of the restaurant giving it an aquatic feel to your surroundings. Overall I enjoyed it very much so that I will return and try other items. 4.7 rating from me.

    Best tasting lobster I've ever had! Not rubbery and tons of flavor. Love the ambiance and decor. Love the super nice workers. Love the variety of sushi and drinks like Boba tea which is all included. It is totally fair to charge for wasted food over a pound. A pound is a lot. I highly recommend this place!

    Just got done eating at this place and I must say it is really good. I would recommend not eating all day if u are going to come here because u will wanna try everything. We have been debating coming here for a while because of the price. Finally came and it is outstanding. Had to wait a little but but it was worth it.

    $33 dinner buffet worth every penny. The restaurant is new and clean. Garfield the server is attentive and very personable who provided more than buffet service. He cleared my plates and asked if I needed anything a few times. Good amount of space between tables. Snow crab was sweet and just right, not overcooked , not water down. Quail was a good surprise, and damn pork ribs, beef back ribs were cooked well. Steamed oysters are on point and fresh. If you can rinse off the broken shells, it would be even better. Sashimi was fresh. Great dining experience better than expected. Will return if I am in town.
