Came here during a Monterey trip. Excellent service, everyone was friendly. Got two different seafood boil combo bags that had fresh ingredients, however flavor wise they were both slightlyy bland. I'd recommend trying if you're in the area!

While visiting Monterey my family and I were craving some seafood boil. This was the closest place to our hotel without having to go towards the Wharf and Cannery Row. Definitely not a bad place to eat. We ordered the shrimp and green mussels in mixed sauces with medium spice (should've gotten "super hot") as well as snow crab legs in garlic butter and lemon pepper. The mussels were fresh and delicious, the shrimp were plump and juicy, and the crab was sweet and surprisingly well seasoned INSIDE the shell. Definitely worth checking this place out if you're in the mood for some seafood boil. S/N I really wanted to try the clam chowder but they were out by the time we got there

Was craving seafood boil while driving through the area and found this spot! The service was great and everything we needed was in the drawer connected to the table!! The food was fresh; however the cajun was not my favorite as it didn't taste like a traditional cajun and more like curry. Still, everything was wonderful and I will definitely come again if in town to try other flavors! :)

Lucky Bamboo added a Cajun boil menu to their offerings. We were in the mood for some Cajun and figured it was worth a shot. Surprisingly, their Cajun boil was delicious! They did not skimp on the Cajun bag items and even the fries were really good. The seasoning and the cook for the bag were spot on. They had all the 'amenities' you expect at a Cajun boil restaurant (bibs, shell crackers, picks, wet wipes). We'll be back to try the Chinese food offerings too!
