Cap’t Loui - 32nd st, NY

A go-to spot for Cajun-style seafood boils and hands-on dining. Absolutely fresh oysters shucked to order—just a squeeze of lemon or a little sauce and they’re perfect in one bite. The lobster roll was amazing too, served on buttery toasted bread and packed with big chunks of lobster meat. We also ordered the build-your-own seafood boil and chose the hottest level (Hot 🌶️🌶️🌶️). Gloves are provided, so no worries about getting messy. We got 4 lbs total, including a huge stone crab that was full of rich roe and sweet crab meat. The snow crab legs were easy to crack with the tools provided—one whole leg came out in a perfect piece. Both head-on and headless shrimp were super fresh, along with clams and lobster options. Honestly, the biggest surprise was the sides—broccoli, potatoes, and co

I came here for a Valentine’s Day date with my husband. I made reservations online and we were seated right away upon arrival. I ordered their ‘cap’trisuns’, citrus flavor. Personally, the drink tasted a bit too sweet for my liking and not enough citrus flavor, but still good nonetheless. For appetizers, we got their fried calamari with a side of cajun fries. The calamari and side of sauce tasted great, and the fries were well seasoned. For our main, we got the pick two option, picking snow crab and head-off shrimp with a side of potatoes. We also decided to get it extra hot (which is a dollar extra). We both love spicy food, and we totally underestimated the spice level, but everything was so delicious! Crab legs were easy to open, and the shrimp was plentiful. Our only complaint was that

Excellent food!!! The amount of oil and spice is just incredible. 3lbs set is enough for 2 people. It’s pretty heavy in garlic butter, even the cap’t loui sauce is more garlic buttery than Cajun. We got medium spicy so I would assume if you want some kick maybe you want to up the spice a little. Some of my favorites are the garlic noodles. Dip it in the sauce 🧑‍🍳. Broccoli as well, it’s so juicy and flavorful. The only downside is that they only give a little bit of broccoli per serving. Service-wise is not too good. Not a lot of customers but the service lacking a bit. But a lot of things are self-serve (new gloves, phone bag, water) so meh. Overall a great experience would come again for the food for sure.

The oysters were way bigger than expected and tasted super fresh, especially with lemon and cocktail sauce. The garlic bread and garlic pasta were both really solid, and the lemon pepper fries were addictive. The lobster roll was a highlight, not too heavy, nicely balanced, and the buttery toasted bread made it feel way better than the average one. We went with the Cap’t Loui sauce and it honestly made everything taste good. The seafood boil was generous and satisfying, with fresh, well cooked seafood across the board. The only small miss was the potatoes, but everything else soaked up the sauce perfectly. It’s located in Ktown and super convenient to get to.

Great new seafood spot in K-Town! Just tried the newly opened Capt Loui in Koreatown and was pleasantly surprised. The space is much bigger than I expected, with seating upstairs as well, so it doesn’t feel cramped at all. We ordered a classic seafood boil and everything came out fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The sauce was rich and buttery with a nice kick, and the seafood was cooked just right — not overdone. Portions were generous and great for sharing. Service was friendly and efficient, and the whole vibe felt like a classic American seafood boil spot, right in the middle of K-Town. Definitely a fun option if you’re in the area and want something different from the usual Korean BBQ. Will be back 👍
