Some noted
Place is small, not kept clean floor had trash all over.
Everything sauce had an odd artificial aftertaste. Shrimp was cooked well, though.
There were no attendants at the front of house to seat us. Finally, an aggravated female worker emerged from the back.

“It all started with a craving of some of shrimp .”
It all started with a craving of some of shrimp . It had been a while since I had it since I used to go to the south loop location . The service was great Evelyn made sure we had everything needed and explained the menu . Armando was very helpful and attentive. The flavors were delicious spicy citrusy, we ordered the mussels and shrimp along with a side of waffle fries that came with a delicious sauce. Overall I would highly recommend this China town location. Shout out to the staff for being a great Vibe !!!

Haven’t been here in a few years and was craving seafood boil. Evelyn who took our order was fantastic, so sweet and funny. We ordered the shrimp & mussels with the everything sauce and fries. It was more than enough food for me and my boyfriend. Overall fantastic service and food!

Amazing crab boil. The jalapeño cheese cornbread was nothing I’ve ever tasted before. I’m craving it now.

“This place can get expensive but worth it.”
This place can get expensive but worth it. My wife and I ordered two build-your-own with lobster, king crab legs, and other additions to our mixes and we're not disappointed. We like spicy but decided to go with 'hot,' and it was a perfect point of heat and flavor. I liked the 'everythang' sauce which was very garlicky and wife enjoyed her Cajun.

“The everything sauce in Hot is in fact EVERYTHING.”
The everything sauce in Hot is in fact EVERYTHING. We got Combo D + a lobster tail and it was very filling! As we walked in everything was clean. You go to the counter and order and they bring your food out. Complimentary utensils, bibs, cups, to-go bags and tinfoil for left overs. As for the food: Comes with plenty of shrimp and everything is drenched in sauce. The sauce isn’t unbearable either it’s the perfect level of spice and salty. The atmosphere was super calm but we did arrive around 5pm. It started getting busy at 6pm. Service was fast and they were all super attentive. I would return again.

This place is so good. I ate a whole bag of the snow crabs myself with the fried shrimp. Staff was very nice and friendly. I'll be back soon for more.

“I came here last minute on a Sunday night.”
I came here last minute on a Sunday night. It wasn’t packed initially but after about 730 pm it started to pick up. I was immediately greeted by a young lady and sat at a table where the menu is scan by phone. When you figure out what you want then you go up to the counter and place your order pay and wait on them to bring your food. I ordered the crab and shrimp it canes with corn, potatoes, and complimentary cornbread. I got spice level hot which was good. The restaurant is clean and has a lovely atmosphere. They played good music and I really enjoyed my experience overall. I will be returning!

“I was very impressed with the restaurant.”
I was very impressed with the restaurant. Great atmosphere and clean. Unfortunately I was already full from dim sum so, I opted to get their beignets. And they were delicious. If I was in Chicago for longer, I would have come back to try their bagged dinners.
