★★★★★ 5.0 Jennifer Adams · Dec 2025

Tons of seating, huge variety of food, much more than just the usual deep fried foods (though they had those too). My favorites were the corn with cream and diced veggies (something about it was just super tasty), mussels, and the crab rangoon, the sweet cooked plantains were good too. Many tasty options. Service was good too, friendly, refilled my drink, and cleared my plates. Next time I'm passing through Waco I'll have to come back. Yum!

Stay away from this place and if you do decide you wanna eat here, stay away from shellfish and any jello, literally smells like dirty sink water, never have I EVERRRR left a google review on any place and this place did it for me. Immediately felt queasy. I’m not from Waco and I disappointingly thought it’d be nice to eat here. Very upset. Money wasted. All they offered was 20% off but that is nothing really compared to the health anxiety I have now ab the oyster I ate. Literally disgusting. Would love to see how this place does under a health inspection review.

(SEE VIDEOS) Black Mold on the eggs! That aint pepper! I have been going here since they opened, absolutely loved the coconut shrimp but it is safe to say, I will not be returning.... EVER! Service was timely.

I’m a returning customer for about a yr now but I went in today to get a Togo order and at checkout I was presented with my receipt in which I was charged 8.37 more when they ran my card than what was on my receipt. This is complete dishonesty. Please check your cards and receipts after paying before you leave they will overcharge you and give you excuses of why and not return your money.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 TJ Adams-crews · Dec 2025

The food sucked, it was all over cooked with absolutely no flavor. Waitress was rude from the start couldn’t wait to walk away before barely getting my family’s drink order then didn’t come back for refills or to clear plates, till she brought the check. Then got upset about the tip. If you want a better tip, have better service. I honestly will not be returning to this establishment ever again. Summer palace is 100 times better go there instead.
