First time here & the food was great! I had the shrimp tempura & it was nice & fresh, the shrimp & the potatoes were super crisp. We also had the fried calamari, so good! The owner is super nice & friendly, he even lowered the music so we could talk more :) Everything on the menu is affordable, we'll be back!

Visited this cozy seafood restaurant on a quiet Monday & was pleasantly surprised. It's not fancy, but the atmosphere is warm & welcoming. I had the fried seafood platter-crispy, light, & full of flavor. My mom had the grilled tilapia with salad & said it was one of the best she's had. The service was excellent-friendly & attentive. Plus, being back in my childhood neighborhood made the whole experience even more special. Highly recommend if you're looking for great seafood in a relaxed setting!
