this place is wayyyy overrated. we had bottle service so we didnt have to stand in line. BUT! that doesn't mean it's a good thing. they over booked the tables so we didn't even get our tables. we stood, walked, waited around for more than half an hour to get our table. the girl in charge said we had to share our table with another party. hmmmpphh... she was nice and courteous but i didn't appreciate the fact that we paid full price for bottle service to share space with others. but eventually they took care of that and moved the other party to the other side. however later onto the night, the girl came back and asked us to share our table with ANOTHER party. By that time, all the guys in the group were too drunk to care so they decided to share.

so im giving them minus points for poor management. though i appreciate service crew. so 1 point for that and another point for good music & nice theme.

so im a big crawfish fan and when i heard about boiling crab opening 5 minutes from my place, it's like my prayer has been answered! i literally wondered when they will open up and when they set the date, i marked it down on my blackberry. unfortunately, i didnt get to go on the first day of the grand opening but of course, i went their soon enough.

i love the interior. the atmosphere is totally different from the location. love the big screen tvs.

"the whole sha bang" sauce deserves its name. very saucy, spicy & yummy! the only thing is that the crawfish are very small but im not sure if they can control that. people definitely should go with the whole sha bang and nothing else.

service always been great. the staffs are friendly and courteous which is greatly appreciated.

so yes, go there! thumbs up!

I love this place more than the one by Santa Clara because of it's much roomier & you don't have to punch someone for seats.

Of course their Tuesday's special is always a catch and one of main reasons we all go there. Discounts or no discounts, this place have good wings, good fries & good beer. My usual would be the Atomic wings. This place is much much better than hooters.

Our family have been a regular customer of this restaurant for over 10 years.

I always get the crispy noodle when I go there or even have it for take out. The sauce is very flavorful. Their crispy noodles are staled sometimes but it's forgivable. I also order the vegetarian spring rolls. I love it more than eating the meat spring rolls from other places.

I just don't like going when it's one of those vegetarian dates, because it's jam packed & their food gets sloppy in the making.

It's a good place to go when you want to enjoy good food and not worry about having to hit the gym afterwards

We checked out this place after seeing many 4+ stars review on yelp. It would help that we read them or do more research of the name behind it. We were expecting to be served with steak and not having to cook it ourselves. I like the idea of it but cooking is not my forte. The service was good. I enjoyed the atmosphere & it's a neat little place to hang out but next time we go, we will get their burgers instead =)

i'm surprised I haven't written a review for this restaurant yet! I went here a couple of times and all are good times.

Crab Cakes Benedict, California Benedict, The Portobello, The Californian and their hash browns are OMG food to die for!

Another good thing about this place is you can drunk at 12 in the afternoon and no one cares to judge. People would down tequila shots like they are at a bar. I gotta love Bill's Famous Mimosa.

Though it gets super packed on the weekends but the service is great once you are seated. Everything is served at a reasonable amount of time.

I was craving for some hue banh beo & we normally go to the one on Senter Rd. One of my friends told me that the same owner opened this place & it's cleaner so I went there for the first time yesterday.

i like the food overall & it's 1 minute away from my house. It is cleaner than the one in Senter. The lady who works in the kitchen (maybe the owner) was nice and very open up to us. The young waitress was ok too. However, the guy who works at the front counter has such bad attitude. I don't know whether if he's the owner or the owner's relative but I don't know how he can keep the business going when he's so anti-social. We walked into the restaurant, didn't care to greet us or anything but just pointed to where we should sit. He puts on a gloomy face one like someone had stolen his breakfast & it was out of his capability to speak. Everytime we try to approach with a request, he just has this "whatever" attitude on.

The whole experience was pretty uncomfortable with that guy around. He even puts food at the wrong table.

I can already say I would not go here again. I'd rather go to the one on Senter Rd despite the fact that it's not as sanitary there but the old folks there are much more approachable & friendlier.

i'm surprised that i have not whipped up a review for this place yet.

i've been a frequent customer and always go for their item #C12 (diced mango, coconut juice, mango with aloe?). I feel as if they put some addictive ingredient in there because i crave for it every so often. Although I must say it is oh so fattening! need to learn self control.

the 4 stars i'm giving is specifically for the drinks only.

I cannot say the same for the service. It is horrible! 2 stars! The workers there always give people a blank stare when you talk to them. It totally freak me out. They need to have better communication skill and be more approachable. For example, my friend & I would get seated in a table that seats 4. Later on when a party of 4 came, the girl just awkwardly approached my friend and asked "umm can you move over there?". No sorry for the inconvenience, no thank you.

another time when i saw my drinks set ready at the counter and nobody bother to bring it to us so i assumed that I had to pick it up ourselves since they were all standing around. I approached the counter and asked if I can pick up but the guy told me to go back to my seat and someone will deliver.

It was nice to experience what this place is all about but their $44 rodizio meal wasn't as great as advertised.

Yes, you get to eat all the meat you can eat but seriously, how much meat can you eat?

Out of the 10 thousand type of meats they served, i can honestly say i only enjoyed the lamb chop and the sirloin. The rest were dried out. I'd like my meat middle rare please.

I can't complain about the service, they keep the meat coming until you get sick of it.

To wrap it up, I'm just not that into it.

i was craving for some korean short ribs tonight and since i was in the area, i used google map on my blackberry and found this place! it's a gem to spot this place.

We had the soft tofu soup, the gal bi (short ribs), the bi-bim bab in stone pot and they were yummy! the food came out sizzling hot and very flavorful.

on the side note, our guy waiter is cute. :)
