Blue Dolphin

I went yesterday, during happy hour, which is from 3-7pm. There is no more half off happy hour menu. I ordered the crab balls and salmon balls. Both were good. However, my Mai Tai was not. I was also disappointed that the hot rolls were not the same. These were doughy and definitely did not have any honey in them. I also had to ask for them. In the past, they were given upon sitting down. The bar maids were nice, but I had to flag them down after I ordered. They did not check-in regularly to see if I wanted anything else, and the place was not crowded. The crowd was very mature, and they were regulars, which was not how it was when I visited some years ago.

This was the worst seafood that I have experienced here at Blue Dolphin. Everything was baked with so much breading it was difficult to taste any seafood. Crab ball-breading, Shrimp Balls -breading. Stuffed rockfish had more bread than fish. The drinks...very strong without flavor. Customer service average.....Spend your hard worked money somewhere else. Very disappointing.

For this region, this place is super disappointing. A humongous crab cake stuffed with fillers (egg? mustard?) is among their signature dishes. Most food was greasy, ill prepared, etc. Pluses: there is a decent bar area (that could use a more...or maybe less? experienced bartender), there is a $20 steak night and portions are big... Minuses: most else. There were friendly staff throughout - to sum it up, here you get what you pay for.

This was my 1st visit and most certainly will not be my last. The food was definitely worth the price. The appetizer was enough for the entire party of three with leftovers. The entrees were also very generous portiins and will serve you for at least a meal or two. The service, courtesy of Andrew, was 'on point', he met all of our needs, courteously, promptly and with a pleasant demeanor. Looking forwrd to many more visits.
