We went on a week night so as expected not much crowd. Staff were very accommodating since we didn't want a very drafty table. There were a few mozzies but again, they happily provided mozzie coils under the table so we weren't bothered. They have a large area for the tanks which seemed to house only crustaceans, mollusks and fish.... More

This is the fifth time that I visit this restaurant and I must say that I am a bit disappointed this time. The variety of seafood is less compared to my previous visits (last visit 3 years ago), even no scorpion fish and mantis shrimps (we went there at 6 pm) - which I think are some of the best... More

Environment of the restaurant was great for a seafood restaurant, right in front of the KK city center seafront. You can choose from a great variety of live seafood, my daughter had a great time choosing live food for the first time. Ended up with quite a lot on the table. Refrain from getting exotic seafood, you'll be fine. Must... More

The food is gourmet, the portions are large and satisfying. Although prices are at the high end, some dishes like the soft shelled crab in cheese are worth it. After all when you get great seafood who cares about the prices! Very good value for money. More

Not my first time here. Would almost certainly dine here everytime i'm in KK. It offers wide selection of seafood. You'll be spoilt for choice! Good and tasty cooking. It may not be as cheap but they are rather reasonable given the speedy service and the quality of the seafood and the cooking. More
