Server is good and Justin is awesome, The food we ate is salty and some of the order came late.
Came in at the last hour but some of the staff still keep their smiles and warmth to entertain our orders. One of the must-go food when in LAX, but prepare for the long queue for dinner times especially weekends
Messy but delicious. We ordered shrimp and larger size crab(as suggested by the waiter), fries and corn on the cob. We picked the mild hot souce and the fun started. The reason for a large sheet of paper was understood at the end of the meal :)
So this was my first sea food boil and it was scrumptious! I devoured every last bit. I poured the boil on the table for the full experience and im glad I did it was so much fun! I would love to come again. (Picture of the aftermath)
The new sha-bang shrimp roll absolutely excellent. Hawaiian bun soooo good. But it's very small; smaller than the advertised picture. I could easily eat two. The cajun fries are just okay, nothing special. Sha-bang shrimp plate also delicious. My friend got a seafood boil with the whole she-bang (all sauces) and the sauces mixed tasted incredible. Excellent sausage too. Excellent service; very helpful explaining the menu.
