The seafood guy by 1998 Cafe

I always thought French toast had to be thick to taste good, but this one proved me wrong. It wasn’t very thick, yet it literally took me back to Hong Kong. It was cooked perfectly and in a traditional way, full of confidence—just like in one of the many Hong Kong-style cafés. I’ve already had it twice, and also tried the chocolate lava toast once, but the original flavor is simply flawless—especially when paired with a hot milk tea, it truly feels like being in Hong Kong. The crab was also very delicious and reasonably priced. It wasn’t extremely big, but definitely not small either—just right. I’ll definitely order the crab again next time 🦀. The food arrived at 5:50 pm, but it was actually my lunch.

Loved this place. The menu offers a great selection of not only seafood but chicken, pork and beef. Some highlights were the takoyaki that was fairly authentic, the oysters were huge and definetly try the pork knuckle, it was delicious and sizeable, so worth sharing. However, needless to say, that although catering for vegetarians it's main focus is meat based dishes currently - so you might feel a bit restricted. Staff were also super friendly, it's a nice interior and it's great having the shop on the front with lots of small bit you might struggle to get elsewhere. I'll definetly be back to try more of the menu soon.

The food are super nice and staffs are friendly too. The toast is my favourite, the peanut butter inside,the fried toast ,the whole thing is just perfect. The coating of the black pepper chicken is also really nice ,it's super crispy , it's just that the black pepper sauce is not strong enough imo. Other than that, the beef cheese baked rice is so flavourful and the beef is so tender. And I would really recommend getting the lunch set ,just need to add another 3 pounds for the red bean ice cream drink which I would recommend others to try.

Such a great experience we had here, started with a cocktail whilst being run through house recommendations, everything was amazing, oyster duck egg omlette was definitely a new one on us, deep fried but not greasy at all. Flaming chicken hot pot was something special, strawberry sweet and sour pork was alot better than your standard s+s dishes from takeaways. And you must have the HK French Toast, don't be afraid to try something new. Service is impeccable, dishes explained very well with stories behind them.

The Seafood Guy - if you’re looking for authentic Hong Kong cuisine in the heart of Nottingham city centre look no further. With page and pages of dishes to choose from. They offer all the meats and a large selection of seafood dishes including crab, lobster and scallops. The restaurant had a real family feel and we were made to feel so welcome. They embrace the sharing culture and this was clear to see with the families around us all tucking in. A special shout out to Crystal, she was lovely and we especially enjoyed her stories from home and information on the restaurants background. When we left there wasn’t a spare seat in the house which is amazing for early doors on a midweek night and just shows how popular the restaurant is.
