Under the Sea

Let’s Seafood may be by the same people behind Let’s Burger, but it is by far the better pick. Located just next door and keeping in the same theme of casual dining with paper menus and boxes to check off, Let’s Seafood blew my expectations for good value.

Pan fried Imported Red Mullet RMB 68

Let’s Burger may serve up a good burger with a glorious selection of sauces, but I always resented the fact that every additional topping, side dish, and drink was at an extra cost.  And what kind of place refuses to serve customers water? A burger that may have started out at RMB 65 would make an unexpected turn to total RMB 120.

On the other hand, Let’s Seafood not only offers an extensive selection of seafood salads RMB 68-78(massive portions), top-notch mussels RMB 65, six varieties of whole fish main courses RMB 68-118, fish & chips RMB 68, and great seafood combos RMB 78. Lobster sets are also available for lobster lovers RMB 238  All orders come with freshly baked homemade bread along with a brilliant assortment of sauces and their main courses all come with homemade seafood soup, along with a generous serving of lemon rice and pan-fried potato. AND they serve you water.

See? That’s what I’m talking about.

Best Part:

Fresh Mussels RMB 65

• Good Value – order an entire fish (RMB 68-118) and it comes with homemade seafood soup, homemade bread, a glorious selection of sauces, and generous sides of lemon rice and pan-fried potato.
• Portions are generous, products are imported fresh
• I’ll definitely be back for the mussels and seafood salads
• Relatively healthy option for a meal, leaving your stomach satisfied, not heavy
• Interior design is casual, yet comfortable with good ambiance
• Wi-fi internet
• Extensive Wine List

Comments:

• The portions are generous, but the massive plates are a little overboard
• Bathrooms are outside and a trek to find and unlike Let’s Burger, there is not even a sink to wash your hands
• Service is not perfect, but decent for having just opened.
