    It’s a semi outdoor seafood resto, casual, surrounded by fish pools and aquarium. Fresh seafood in many types of cooking/sauces. Friendly and helpful staffs. Love the Evil Boat: barbecue of prawn, slipper prawn, crab and lobster; steam fish so fresh, and tasty vegetables dishes too. All good. Parking is available. Worth for the price. Recommended!

    Not sure about the environment on a normal day as the pandemic obviously causes the restaurant to have fewer customer than it should on a normal day. Hence, to me it was very spacious, quiet and rather chill environment to have my seafood dinner with my family. Prices are cheap. However, that was only made possible by having all their seafood kept alive in the aquarium in the restaurant instead of ones fresh from the sea. The end product is that, the seafood served lack a little salty, fresh and sweet taste that came from the sea.

    Hardly know there is a seafood behind the street. The seafood are freshly provided and mostly they raise by themselves. The dishes are great and palatable such as fish and drunken prawn. I personally like the salted egg fried lotus. It also provide hand grab seafood style with their special sauce The environment wise is cozy but it is quite wet as it not enclosed and open to fresh air. The design is elegantly simple. Car park is never a problem as it has large space. The staff is so nice that patiently asking and fulfilled the request of the old man nicely. Definitely will come again.

    Spent our weekend early dinner at Hamisu. We ordered the shellout seafood combo for 2px and add on mini lobsters with golden creamy sauce. The shellout combo comes with mantau bun and corn. The mantau bun really goes well with golden creamy sauce. The shellout sauce taste was okay and would have been better if it were more spicy. Overall its worthied, make sure to go early before it gets crowded.

    If you like messy eating, this is the right place to eat 😁. Crabs are really small, prawns are good, clams are full of mud and the squid doesn't disappoint. Avoid the clams. Fried mantou was really good. I funny like the mess when you have to eat with your hands but they do provide plastic gloves which will tear easily when you handle the crab. Price wise slightly high for 4 person even though 3 of us could easily finish it with space for more in the stomach.

    Read so good write up about the restaurant and decided to try. A bit disappointed as the crab meat is a bit mushy to liking. Nevertheless it is up to personal taste as there are still room for improvement. Keep it up.

    You can prawn fish here. They have tiger prawns and udang galah and lobsters. RM 20/hr and RM 55 3 hr. Pumpun/mangrove worms for RM 2 / worm and RM 6 / container. You can also have dinner because there is a restaurant. Parking is free.

    Good place to satisfy sea food craving in Penang. Loved the variety and good selection. Good place for friends and family gathering or celebrative events.

    Place is nice especially the upper floor of the restaurant where you get to sit on top of an aquarium, technically a pool. Food is tasty but seafood is not my type sadly, but they were definitely fresh af.

    Reasonable price. Not much options that you can configure. Shell out experience wise still ok.

  • 4/5 Esther G. J. 2 years ago on Google
    Seafood was very fresh and reasonably priced. I like the simple but comfortable ambiance. I will highly recommend the kamhiong lala, salted egg crabs and big head prawns in hamisu sauce...somehow these three combination eaten together was an ultimate seafood fare!

    Ordered their package, most of the seafood are not fresh at all. A lot of choices in the menu, but alot of things out of stocks. The prawns were all okay, only seafood that’s fresh. Saw their advertisement online, and made a decision to come here and try. And it disappoints us. Not recommended.

    The concept of this restaurant is to pick your mixed seafood platter and then serve them on top of banana leaves. They provides you with a hammer to crack the crabs. It is interesting but flawed. The seafoods are served in curry sauce, it was delicious. But when hammering the crabs, the sauce would be spilling everywhere including onto my t shirt which was annoying. Our platter includes crabs, prawns, squids and clams. The seafoods was good quality but the prawns don't seems to be as flavourful as it should be. Each platters are served with deep fried baos and sweetcorns. They are good companions to the seafoods. The rest of the food were good. They do have option for you to catch your own fish to eat, I personally do not see the point of it. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Very poor quality for seafood. Not fresh and the crab sizes were super small. Crab meat was gassy which was indicative of the food being not fresh.

  • 3/5 Andrew L. 3 years ago on Google
    A lot of parking space availability for customers and many large tables for group dining. Overall the food and dishes that was served tasted average and ok. Cash payment only as the restaurant doesn't have credit card payment service.

    We came during Chinese New Year 2023. We ordered RM350+ shell out package that's for 4 - 6 pax. The food was okay. Just a normal shell out, nothing special. If you don't have high expectation, this is good for you. However, there was one thing that I was not happy about. They took away the box of glove that they gave us initially to other people when we were not yet finish eating, not to mention that they didn't even ask us whether we still need it. They should know that eating foods like crabs and small lobsters would have thorns, which would tear the gloves we were wearing easily. So, for a business like this, they should prepare a box of gloves for each table, not shifting from one to another.

😠 I reached at around 2:30pm and still need to queue till 3:00 pm. Disappointed with the food because the deep fried fish roe and fish are hard rather than crispy. The gravy is also so so only.

👍 Queue seemed quite long when we arrived around 2.30 pm but we only waited about 20 minutes. I think they should have more signage to tell customers what to do so the process can be easier. There was only one waiter upstairs in the seating area so it was quite difficult to get his attention. Food is...
