Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Santa Gonzalez
I had a great experience at Boiling Soho. The food was delicious, especially the Cajun with garlic sauce, which was fantastic. The service was great as well. Shoutout to Gopi for being attentive and kind. I would definitely visit again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Seth Mastrocola
Four ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ‘s across the board.
My wife and I have been wanting to try this place for a long time. Tonight was our anniversary and we gave it a try! VERY GOOD!
ATMOSPHERE: we loved the outdoor seating with durable quality tables and chairs, along with a sprawling bar and lovely lighting and plants 🌱.
SERVICE: Humble, soft spoken, concise, responsive, pleasurable.
DRINKS: Moscow Mule for my wife was PERFECT and the Long Island Iced Tea was as well.
COST: Overpriced by a small amount, perhaps $4-5 an entree, but still worth the experience.
FOOD: I think the boiled seafood was VERY GOOD!! I loved how they offered a linguine compliment to the seafood meat selection. Nice touch!
FOOD 2: The Teppanyaki is one of the best choices here. The scallops and shrimp were VERY GOOD. The steak that came with it, however, was chewy and not the best, but the seafood was delicious.
FOOD 3: Oysters 🦪 were awesome! I absolutely loved the hot sauce that came as a side condiment. Such a nice taste with a kick!!! 🌶️
Overall this place was VERY GOOD!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Leah Martin
Came here for a late lunch today to enjoy a seafood boil and it was great! I got the snow crab, crawfish, muscles, clams, sausage, egg, potatoes, corn and broccoli for $35, a great price and portion.
They had different seasoning options and I went with the spicy garlic butter. My fiancé got the Beef Teppanyaki, it was tender and flavorful. The staff were very friendly and attentive.
Great little atmosphere they have going on. They also have happy hours during the week. We will definitely be back.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Christie Gonzalez
This is my partners favorite spot. Went there around 7 pm, and it was empty besides a family at the patio. The service was fast, and the food was amazing!!! My child had the seafood broil for the 1st time, and he finished the whole thing. The owner, Alex, came to greet us and made sure we had everything to enjoy our food and time. Music was super dope; they were playing old skool R&B. Definitely recommend this spot for couples, families, and friends.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Marisa Balletti-Lavoie
Trying to avoid hangry grocery shopping with Thomas Lavoie, we drove up the Berlin Turnpike crossing off options for a Saturday afternoon lunch. He had mentioned a new cajun boil spot along the route, and although I veto'd it, when we drove by it looked adorable.
Boiling SOHO - Newington's building is vintage cool, not many tables but great service. We shared a crunchy Cesar salad, garlic bread, and a sailor feast - fresh snow crab legs, mussels, crawfish, clams, shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes and a boiled egg in garlic butter sauce. Delicious! Love this restaurant concept, and happy to have one close by. They also have a location in New Haven.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Phúc Võ
Recommendation:
- Charcoal Blue Point Oyster
- Combo C (clams, shrimp head-on, crawfish, lobster tail)
.
Details: It's a Sunday night, my wife and I just left a wedding dresses shop and were very hungry. We're arrived at Boiling SOHO at 8PM. We started with 6 Charcoal Blue Point Oysters, I suggest that you order Garlic Bread to eat with the sauce on the Oyster, it's good. For the main entrée, we got a Combo C (with clams, shrimp head-on, crawfish, lobster tail); add in corn, pork sausage, garlic bread, white rice; and SOHO special sauce. The sauce here is not too spicy (Medium level), which is good. My wife can enjoy it. So we have tried Cajun Seafood at Hook and Reel, we think this place is better. Hook and Reel has their sauce a bit salty at the end, where Boiling SOHO has it just right. We will definitely come back when we want Cajun Seafood again.
