We actually came here twice because we loved our first visit so much, but our second experience was quite disappointing due to a total lack of flexibility in the customer service. Here is what happened:

First Visit (Great Experience): We tried one of the combos. The oysters were fresh, clean, & perfectly shucked with absolutely no shell pieces.

Second Visit (Disappointing Experience): We decided to try other oysters. We kindly asked if we could swap the oyster types for something else of the exact same price just to try a variety, but were told no. We understood that - if the owner wants to stick strictly to the combo menu, that's fair.

What we found really hard to understand, though, was being charged extra for the sauce (vinaigrette). When our oysters arrived, we realized it didn't come with the sauce. When we kindly asked for it, the owner told us it cost extra. Shouldn't a basic sauce be standard when you're ordering a full dozen? To make matters worse, the shucking was sloppy on this round, & I got crunchy chips of shell in my oysters.

We really wanted to love this place based on how fresh the first order was, but the nickel-&-diming for sauce & the drop in quality control mean we won't be returning.

Super friendly service & incredibly fresh oysters! I always order their Slurp Slurp Express & Tour du Monde so I can try different types - from salty & briny to creamy & buttery. Every time, it's absolutely delicious. The cashier & staff are always nice, welcoming, & make the whole experience enjoyable. A must-try for any oyster lover!

I have been coming here for over 5 years to eat at the kiosk & purchase some for home. Best selection of oysters! The shuckers are knowledgeable when it comes to diff types of oysters & what flavor profile you're looking for.

The young lady seller here is quite knowledgeable & convincing. Glad we did the exploration combo with four types of oysters from east west coast of canada, US & Ireland. Believe it or not, PEI oysters were the best. The BC oysters were a bit fishy in smell. The oysters from Cape Cod were also flavourful! Quite a specialty store!

I was here on Saturday around noon & when I saw the lovely selection of oysters, I couldn't resist. The chucker man was very charismatic & told us a little about the different types of oysters. We tried 6 varieties for lunch. They are high in protein & very satisfying. It was a perfect light lunch. We also took some home for Sunday & they were wonderful all over again! I will be back!

Great customer service. Tried three types of oysters. My favorite was the raspberry.
