Ơ Kìa - Seafood Restaurant

Definitely not a 4.8-star restaurant. By Da Nang standards, this is a 3.8 at best. We ordered three dishes and every single one was a disappointment. - the Seafood Cajun Sauce (245k) had a terrible, cheap "Maggi" instant flavor. To make matters worse, about 30% of the shells were completely unopened, meaning they weren't fresh, and the shrimp tasted weird. For that price, it definitely shouldn't be padded out with cheap, street-food-style sausages that street vendors price at 7k. - The Crab Spaghetti was a complete failure. A tasteless, watery sauce over low-quality local pasta. (I would call it student’s lunch, if there were no crab) - Finally, the 585k Sashimi platter. It came with a tiny bit of salmon and 7 fresh oysters, but the rest of the plate was just filler mostly cheap, multicolored artificial caviar and low-grade fish. The final damage was 1,197,000 VND (2 people), and that only included a single beer. Save your money. There are far better seafood options in the city.

Food doesn't match photos, missing red caviar, refused to provide information I ordered a salmon salad based on the pictures on your social media and Google Maps. The reality was completely different: · There was no red caviar, which was clearly shown in the photo. · The salmon portion was only 50g, while the photo shows large pieces of fish. · The entire piece of fish fit completely inside a small container – the same kind used for sauce. (I removed the sauce from my order.) · In the photo, the fish is shown on top of a large salad on a plate. I am a professional athlete, so eating on time and knowing exact portion weights is very important to me. I asked to see the chef's specification card (where ingredient weights are listed) – they refused and said: "We refuse to serve you." This is basic, simple information that any proper restaurant should provide upon request. Very disappointed. Dishonest, hiding information, refusing service. I do not recommend this place.

Surprised by the mid quality despite all the positive reviews online. I visited on a Sunday night, and it wasn’t busy at all. Service was excellent, but we had a few issues with the food: 1. **Crab with vermicelli** – The crab was quite small for the price and didn’t taste fresh. It had an “old” taste, as if it had been cooked some time ago. 2. **Garlic prawns** – The prawns seemed pre-cooked and were only lukewarm when served. 3. **Beef cubes (off-menu)** – Unfortunately, these were quite chewy and not enjoyable. Overall, great service but the food quality didn’t live up to expectations.

We sampled the Tôm sốt bơ tỏi – medium-sized shrimp in butter and garlic. The shrimp were fresh, meaty and well cooked. However, the sauce lacked the familiar garlic punch that defines this dish. The intense yellow color also raises doubts about the use of butter in the Western sense. A classic butter-garlic sauce should be pale and creamy. The deep yellow suggests possible additions such as turmeric or a butter-oil blend, and the texture felt more oily than emulsified. Slices of bread were served for dipping, which was appropriate, but they did not feel fresh. That could have been a strong finishing touch. Bottom line: excellent shrimp, underwhelming execution. We do intend to return and try additional dishes, as we have the sense that this may not have been a representative choice from the menu.

A Family Gem in Da Nang: Incredible Food & Atmosphere! If you are looking for a spot in Da Nang that satisfies both seafood lovers and meat enthusiasts while being genuinely kid-friendly, O Kia is the place to go. The Highlights: • The Steak: You might come for the seafood, but you stay for the steak. It was cooked to absolute perfection—tender, juicy, and seasoned beautifully. It’s easily some of the best beef we’ve had in the city. • Kids' Paradise: Traveling with children can be stressful, but O Kia makes it easy. The staff is incredibly welcoming to little ones, and the spacious, garden-style layout means kids don't feel cramped. It’s a very "stress-free" environment for parents. • Fresh Seafood: As the name suggests, the seafood is incredibly fresh and local. The variety is impressive, and the flavors are authentic. • Ambiance: The restaurant has a lovely, open-air garden feel that catches a nice breeze—perfect for a relaxed dinner after a day at the beach.

Came here because of Chatgpt recommendation. Location is along a quiet street. Arrived 6pm and it's pretty quiet on a Sunday night.. only 1 table occupied. Ordered grilled seafood platter, softshell crab fried rice and stir fry morning glory. Didn't order lobster as it's almost 2m per kg - I thought lobster will be cheaper in Da Nang Morning glory - taste fresh and good Softshell crab fried rice - fried rice is flavourful but the crab lacks taste, mostly covered by egg taste Seafood platter - the food is just lukewarm, mussels a bit undercooked. Doesn't go well with the peanuts they cooked with. It feels like whole plate came from frozen seafood, which I expected to be fresh from a seafood restaurant. Overall paid 638k for 3 dishes and 2 beers. There are many seafood restaurants so competition for good quality seafood is steep.

The location was just off the main road but did not affect the atmosphere of coolness and serenity. We order a lobster prepared 2 ways, garlic butter and cheese. We found both were delicious with the garlic butter better. Service was provided by Server Tin who was very helpful and professional. He even helped us to prepare the food for eating. We also ordered a 1 kg live grouper prepared with soy sauce which was a little too salty for my taste but the fish was very fresh having just been swimming in the restaurant tank. We also ordered cockles boiled and was very fresh and went well with the sauce. Price wise it wasn't the cheapest live seafood but we think value for money.

Okia is a fantastic restaurant that I absolutely love visiting. Accidentally, its very near my hotel. The food is consistently fresh, well-prepared, and bursting with flavor. Each dish feels thoughtfully made, which makes the whole dining experience truly satisfying. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality food in a welcoming atmosphere. Authentic vietnamese restaurant. One of the highlights of my visit was the service. Kieu, a member of the staff, was exceptionally attentive and professional. She guided me in choosing the dishes and, although her English isn’t perfect, her sincerity, patience, and willingness to assist more than made up for it. The shrimp she recommended is really good. You can really feel that she cares about providing a good dining experience. In general, all the staff are great and highly professional. The food here is great even for solo diners like myself, as the portions are manageable and enjoyable on your own. They even gave me free fruits. That said, I think Okia shines even more when you visit with friends or family, since the menu is perfect for sharing and enjoying a variety of dishes together. It’s the kind of place that not only serves good food but also creates wonderful memories.
