OC 7 Seafood Restaurant

Overall: 3.1 (non-seafood eater), 3.5 (seafood eater)/5 (dine in)

The service was great. Food - on the other hand - was not. They have great sauces though.

Stella Artois Liberte Non-Alcoholic Beer ($4.50): Woah, it tastes like regular beer. You can't tell the difference!

So Long Nuong Sate ($10.99): Many of the pieces were chewy and not edible.

Chem chép nướng mỡ hành ($10.99): Mussels were okay.

sò dương nướng mỡ hành ($14.99): The sauce was really good but the clam oozed out a seafood juice when you bite into it. I'm not a fan of seafood taste/smell so this wasn't for me.

Luon Nuong Muoi Ot ($11.99): I didn't try it as it didn't look appetizing but my husband did. They didn't debone it so there's a lot of bones in the eel. He said it tasted like they grilled it over an open fire like if you were out camping.

Food was pretty good and I got butter chicken. Iced tea and some other food. It took a little to arrive but was worth it. Restrooms just need a little improvement. Overall, it’s a good dinner place.

I historically really liked this restaurant but I will not be back. I just came here at (non-peak times after 2pm and well before dinner time with a less than half full restaurant) and had such a bad experience. We only ordered two dishes (one coconut snail dish and one fried rice) and it took well over 30 min to bring out. I’m usually ok with a long wait which isn’t fun but I can expect that with fresh made to order food.

However, I FULLY recommend you get an itemized receipt before you pay for the meal. We went up to the counter to pay and they immediately told us the meal was $44 without giving us the bill. We knew it wasn’t right since we ordered cheaper dishes and asked for the bill. Once printed the worker said “oh I meant $25 sorry.” It was an incredibly sketchy thing to do. I know a lot of people just throw down a debit/credit card to pay without even looking but this really took the cake to try to tell us the bill was almost double what we ordered. I will not be back and will always scrutinize the bill after this.

My food was pretty fresh, the clams were divine in the sauce. The papaya salad was a bit dry and needs more flavoring.

We had the grilled snails combo and 1 balut . The snails were over cooked, cold and chewy, garnish with a lot of fresh scallion. Although the 3 sauce were cooked on the portable but the snails still cold. We came such a long away and disappointed.

This is also the kitchen of the famous Pho Akaushi. We had wonderful experience her last week. Chef Trọng came out talked to us and his Pho bowl is spectacular. The broth is rich of flavors, and the beef cuts are very selective. Most delicious bowl of Pho. If you in the area, do not miss.

I came here since they first open inside a grocery store on Habor. Food is always good and tasty. Staff is nice and we see new faces every time we came. Parking is not a problem for me, ‘cos we always came here for our afternoon snack, so they are not very busy.
My favorite dishes are chicken feet and “ốc gạo sa tế”.
