    The restaurant is small but great. They have all kinds of dishes, hibachi, sushi, etc. Drink is included. Here are somethings to highlight. They have the Cajun sea food boil ( with craw fish, shrimp, sausage, corn, etc.) which may cost you an arm and leg in a Storm Crab restaurant. They have crab leg night on Thursday, which is hard to find nowadays. Their salt baked shrimps are the best. They have chicken feet if you are interested. :) They have squid, which is pretty good. The service is great too. The waitress was busy to celebrate people birthdays and the plates are cleaned quickly. Overall, it is a gem in the Elgin area and it is highly recommended.
