This restaurant is recommended for people who loves to eat big amount of food! Outside seating and eating with bare hands is a must try! food was great. Whether you’re with your friends, colleagues, family you will enjoy this place and their food. Thinking of bringing your dogs? don’t worry! Your doggies are welcome also!

We ordered a bucket of junior crabs and it was great! The crews are very attentive. Will definitely go back to this place :)
Boodle Fight- One of the Filipinos' fave food tradition --- Eat those seafoods, meat, side dishes, RIIIICE and more RICE on banana leaves with "BARE HANDS"/("KAMAYAN" in Filipino); side to side, elbow to elbow, arm to arm with your loved ones - is a one of a kind eating experience! Thanks to Seafood Island, you always give everybody the chance to experience boodle!
Beforehand it was Seafood Island only now it has Blackbeard's in its name. This was taken when my brother had his vacation from work in KSA for a month, since he's working in an Islam country he was really craving for some good seafood goodness. Because his palate only tastes Beef, Lamb and veggies, he really misses oriental amd tropical food.
The group meals got better from the first time I got to try it some years back. For this specific meal though, the crabs included are few (quite understandable due to their price per kilo) and they were served late; not sure if they forgot or if it really takes time to cook. I wonder if it was not served at all if we didn’t follow up?
Anyway, a part from that, all’s well. Staff is friendly. Price versus food serving is justifiable. There’s way too much rice for us (3) but that’s good news for those who need to order extra rice.
The place is nice and the food is superb! I mostly eat the crab and the tusoktusok on the side. We also ordered isaw and quekquek. The food is really good. Would definitely go back!

Seafood! Indeed, this was surely on our list of places to eat - well because, my baby is arguably one of the patron of seafood! 😅 The way the food was presented was like a feast and is very commendable. You can't help but eat it all and still want more. My baby and I have each other but we can't stop overindulging with the call of our taste buds. 😛
We ordered TALI BEACH BOODLE FEAST and it was very awesome! The boodles were more than enough for the both of us. I must say that we are very satisfied! Seafood Island is a must try for rice-loving Filipinos who like to eat and have fun! 😁 The highlight of the Boodle Feast is that it is served on banana leaves with the food layered in the middle. You will have to eat on the leaves but you may also request for plates if you feel uncomfortable.
The meal was presented well with very satisfying portions. We had intended to try one of the delicious desserts but neither of us could eat anything else. It was an excellent meal, reasonable value for money! 🤩
The foods are great. Filipino cuisine at its best. The staffs are also polite and accomodating. The only thing I didn't liked is their watermelon shake that is too sweet.
It’s like a boodle fight version. There’s no place to put your plate on the table because of the big serving of the food, it already occupies the whole table. Service is fast and staff are approachable. We will definetly be back here.
It's late night when we decided to dine in here since we are from Bataan(Ferry ride just beside MOA) and we still didn't had our dinner that time.
I am happy that we are able to seated down when we arrived and I think they are having their last order already.
We ordered right away and the sad part about this is that we waited for almost 1 hour before the food is served.
We finished the food fast after being served because we become hungry beast before hand.
The server didn't mention that it will took along before being serve.
I just hope that they offer crackers/chips/appetizers that are readily available in case the customers waited long for their food.
The place can be easily located since it's in MOA Bay Area.
The ambiance is ok and huge enough to accommodate though sometimes esp. weekends, there's waiting list for this.
Overall, I will get back to other branches and hoping that next time they will give a promised time.

Straight from the airport, we went to Blackbeard Seafood island in Mall of Asia. It was a hot afternoon and I was craving for seafood. We ordered a set for 4 pax and obviously it was too much for us. The servings are big, the food is delicious and no complain about that except for the sinigang. I personally think that it is not sour enough, well I think it’s just me because I really like sour food. The staff were also polite and friendly. Good service.
BSI is present on SM Bay. We went there late night and the place still had ample number of customers. After looking over their wide Menu variety we ordered Fish Sisig with Plain rice.
It took a while to get the Dish.
Sisig tasted really well with Rice. Seasoning and spice level was good. Overall it was a satisfying experience. Will visit again.
We’ve eaten dinner here and there are lots of people but inspite of it, staff here in this place is really accommodating and they’re really friendly. Also with variety of choices in sea foods.
Tried to see if this branch is as good as the ones in sm southmall and mckinley, they didn't dissappoint us when it came to the flavors and food satisfaction. Food quantity and price is reasonable. The only negative thing i noticed was that they seem to be under staffed. We asked for chili and after 5 mins we asked a different server. Same thing went with my refill for iced tea. The restaurant wasn't even fully packed at the time we went there.
We were there a few weeks ago and all I can say is the food is great and the service was excellent. We will definitely come back for more because although it was slightly pricey, it was definitely worth every penny. 😊 The place was also clean and well decorated.
OK na yung lugar nila ngayun kaysa nung una madilim tsaka populated masyado kasi pangit ng arrangement ng seats, d nila na achieve yung promise time na 25 minutes to serve the food but we wait at 40, the best p rjn ang foods at maaruga ang mga crews
I was deliriously walking down manila bay alone hoping to find a sushi restaurant. Well, around 2pm it was blazing hot so I decided to take refuge on "Seafood Island".
I asked the recommended from the "Oysters and Shellfish" menu. The waiter recommended the "Garlic and Cheese Overload"for 265php so I went with it. The waiter returned with unfortunate news:
NO OYSTERS.
Being on "Seafood Island", I was pr etty devastated but I took the mussel replacement.
For 185php, The "Calamares Fritos" breading was fluffy and light, which I really liked. Good serving. I also got the "Island Punch", which was fine. Pretty nice place especially since my food was served so quickly!
Note: the waiters are so frazzled and distracted the entire time. it was only early afternoon and they seemed really out of it. the manager was talking to the crew so after I asked for my bill, I had to ask again, 10 minutes later. they need to get their flow bc i was very annoyed.
Good enough for 2 person’s although some seafood are overcooked, and the rice they put is aslo too many! So if you are the type of guy who goes for another second on rice get this meal!
Good customer service. I love the ambiance. Great place to chill and hang-out with friends and perfect for family bonding and food trips. Foods taste great and affordable.
I love their boodle fight way of dining. Their food is very affordable and delicious. Their place is a bit small considering the amount of people who are in queue to dine in their restaurant. Definitely a must visit for thosd who love seafood and grilled dishes
Kudos to the manager! Since the crew is very busy with other customers in which I understand, he immediately approached me and my kids to ask our order. He is also very attentive with our needs. Food is great! My kids enjoyed the binalot all seafood. Its a must try!
I've visited this place thrice. It's a heaven for seafood lovers. Clean and maintained and the waiters are very very friendly. You can visit with your large family or just by yourself - they have a table to accommodate 👍🏾
My personal fav is shrimp fried rice, ensaladang talong, kiwi beer, and also the grilled squid.
their package is sooooo amazing, nakaka busog talaga and nakaka enjoy lalo na kapag nakakamay 😊
price is right👌 hindi kana talo. thumbs up for you guys. till next visit 👍💓👏
Their package is a m a z i n g!
Especially for barkadas out there who loves sea foods and boodle fights!
The price range of their sets were reasonable and affordable. They have choices for you guys out there. And if you don't want their barkada packages, you may choose other foods listed in their menu. The staffs were accommodating too.
Perfect food get away for group and family. A good way to have a food bonding is to eat in a boodle fight. This resto will give you a boodle experience. They a have good variety of boodle options. Alcohol drinks are also cheap. Perfect spot for those who wants to eat and get drunk
Service takes too long maybe because of too many customers. We waited for almost 30 minutea just to get a seat. It takes another 15 to 30 minutes for our orders to arrive. You should order ahead of time. The food is great!!!
Small yet one of the best place to consider when you're tired of celebrating birthdays at your local buffet restaurants. They do have excellent service and will really assist you if have a requests especially when it comes to surprising the celebrant. Just make sure that you're doing it on evening to boost the tropical experience with the vibe and ambience you're looking for. It has a great value for money. Fresh and delectable seafood guaranteed. I would just like to point out the overwhelming amount of rice which was not proportional with the amount of the variant served. Hurts to see some of it were getting wasted.

Calling all yo' seafood lovers... this is the best place for you as they had they wide array of fresh seafoods, really delicious while maintaining the freshness.
This is also a perfect venue for your get along together or reunion or even just a simple hang out for your bunch of people. Personally, I went here with a family, we had two kids with us and one of us came from abroad so I was thinking very hard, what would with be the one stop restaurant that would satisfy all our cravings as we had different taste buds? Seafood island is simply the answer, we left with a happy tummy as we got lost in the delightful Tali Beach & Dapitan's Pride Boodle Feasts.
Their boodle feasts left us overwhelmed and drowned for the appetizing dishes they served. Great value for money too as they have sumptuous servings. My only concern here was the service, as we waited for 30 minutes before our first set of order to be served (even with follow ups to the waiter). A bit disappointing as we were really hungry already.
Nonetheless, I would love to come back here for all those simple celebrations with my loved ones. Even my Tita, (the one who came abroad) personally told me, "Great choice, hopefully we can go back here next time."
Enjoyed the seafood meal good for 5-7 pax. The fish is not over cooked and the lato was freshed. It was an experience for the kids to use their hand while eating. Only problem is the place is too cramp and noisy. Hope management can do something with the layout.

The bay near them adds to the ambience of the resto. The place is quiet crowded the time when we dine in. The food was great in terms of quality and palatability. But their massive meals are not enough for what they have said which doesn't meet our expectations so we have to add another order. The ambience is very cozy and simple. Service is quite good.
Craving for shrimp, bangus, crabs or any seafood? Then seafood island is good for you!
If you order a package of seafood from their menu, you better include soup or sinigang anything with sabaw so it won't taste dry.
My fave is their shrimp!! Their package is good for groups or for family.
I think this is the best branch for seafood island due to its livelier surroundings. Ive been in fairview, circuit and any other branches of them but its more fun in here.

I ate like a berserk when we went there. The food is good but the crew are not so welcoming. The ambiance was nice and I like how only a few people were eating when we were there.

So my mom got back from Cebu and I thought, why not treat her a good dinner? I've been craving for some really good seafood for a while now so, when I busted out my app while I was at the MOA area, this place came up.
Sits comfortably by the Bay, you get the feel of the ocean. It was during the NCAA Basketball game finals and the place was really packed. There was a line of ppl outside, waiting to be seated. Good thing that we were just two so we got seated quickly.
The place was a bit small to my liking. It was a packed night, probably the reason why it felt so cramped up for me, but it space was a bit limited. With the outpour of customers they have, even with an outside seating option, they place could've been bigger.
We were already taking our orders and, I was a wee bit disappointed bc some if the dishes we wanted werent available. :( But what we had were the Pineapple Rice, Mussels in Cream Sauce, Talong Ensalada, Sinigang na Ulo ng Mayamaya and, Lechong Kawali.
The food took SOOOOO long to come out. Maybe almost an hour. So if waiting's not your best feature then, nah. So when we finally had the food, I was so hungry I couldnt wait to dig in. First, the rice was okay. I didnt see much shrimp on it tho. Just two really little bits of it. The talong ensalada, my mom did enjoy it. The Sinigang was good, they have hefty portions of fish on it. The mussels were my favorite. Generous portions and the cream sauce was really good, I wanted to lick it off the plate. Haha! The only let down was the Lechon Kawali. I saw 4 little cuts of it and for how much it was, very disappointed.
I would say that, it's pretty cheap to get a decent meal here. A little over a thousand isn't bad. Service was a bit of a mess that night but, one specific guy who was attending to us was all smiles so that's a plus. I hope that if ever I do go back, I wont be hearing "Maam, sorry di po yan available eh." anymore.
good food..
team oliver 😊😊😊

SEAFOOD ISLAND
SM MOA
The night was so cold... chos! Arrived at the scene, too many customers waiting outside, long queue of hungry people including us. Obviously the restaurant was full, and though we saw a long line, we still asked the front man if there are any available seats for two, politely the staff told us that they will still check. We were about to seat and wait when one of the staffs approached us and asked if its ok if we dine in Bikers Cafe (the cafe beside Seafood Island Restaurant) because no more available seats in their restaurant, well since we are already hungry, we nod back and said yes, but the rule is, we need to buy drinks in Bikers Cafe. Well since the service and drinks of the latter are good enough, buying drinks is no big deal at all. So we just bought frappe and shake.
We were then ushered to our seats and the menu was given. Ayos talga minsan dapat magtanung, una unahan lang yan ahahah. A lot of tasty seafoods are in the list, but our eyes was caught by the #SURFANDTURF which was good for 2-3 persons, well we just thought that we will ask to take it away if ever there will be any left overs. Surf and Turf includes Java rice (lots of it), crispy dilis, buttered shrimps, grilled chicken and pork and many more, haha I can't remember the other food that was included in that bilao but there are also some veggies. The biggie meal was presented on a banana leaf on a bilao. We are really overwhelmed by the serving, I think it was good for four. We were so hungry we ate everything! ahahha naubos namin at simot sarap talaga. Well kasabay naman ng pagkain namin ay kwentuhan at lambingan.... 😘😘😘
So come and enjoy the food here at Seafood Island! Come taste and experience traditional way of using your hands to bring food into your mouth and savor the goodness of real food!
This place packs plenty of people in a small floor area. It's quite noisy and is not suitable for a fine dining experience. The crew were accomodating but were very busy and their fatigue is reflected on their face. The food was served timely and the presentation was very Filipino - over a banana leaf and readying customers for a boodle fight. The serving was generous and justifiable by its price. The dishes we tasted were ordinary for me and there was nothing remarkable. But still i got full and was satisfied so i rated it 3.5 stars. I recommend this place for a whole family dine-out :)
Well their place was good, but i thinks it's small to accommodate many customers, when we went here we were placed at biker's cafe because they're fully booked. Anyway, their crew are ALL FRIENDLY that's why I would revisit this place! Anyway their service are good, really good 😊👍🏽👍🏽 I think it only took us 10-15mins to wait for the food despite of their bunch of customers they have at that time.

The place was small but I love it! I spent my birthday here, the song they sang was very jolly. The food was awesome and the service was great. 👌
One of the best area when we talked about buddle fight. :) also, for me, this is one of the best place for group lunch, dinner, celebrations, etc. This restaurant comes with different food choices mixed with seafood, pork, beef, etc. You'll defenitly enjoy your food and stay here. :)
What I love about this place: The food and the view.
It's in the bay front area so you really get that feeling of eating at the beach, aside from the view of the bay, the salt water smell is also all over the place.
Went here with my Friends from Cebu, Dapitan's Pride: Crispy Shrimps, clams, grilled tilapia, grilled squid, laing, steamed crab, grilled liempo and added bagnet. I was glad that my friends didn't get disappointed (since they have better, fresher and cheaper sea foods in Cebu). They really enjoyed everything specially the laing.
It took 15-20 minutes before our food got served, which is just fine. The staff were accommodating.
I'll definitely go back here to satisfy my sea food cravings.

For feeding 20+ people with a 7k budget, this place is okay. However, I cannot seem to understand their ruckus when my friends and my family booked two separate tables and then we want those tables connected. The tables were adjacent. One of the servers needs a refresh on customer service as he seemed disrespectful. He made up for offering umbrella after.
The food was okay-not too amazing but enough to fill the stomach. Cooking them at home would save you money. However, if you opt for variety more than the volume, this would save you money. The presentation makes for a good conversation starter. We went for Magellan's Landing and Tali Beach with some side orders like the Szechuan Crab.
The Szechuan Crab is something worth remembering since the sauce was mouthwatering, with a good balance of sweet and salty. Still, it was a challenge to eat since the crab is not that huge and there are a lot of compartments to deal with.
Overall, it was a nice experience. If you are looking for a better ambiance (I mean clean and presentable) than the seafood palutuan, interesting presentation, and average budget, this is something worth looking into.

WHY GO
I am a seafood crazed foodie so naturally, Seafood Island is at the top of my list as far as seafood restaurants go in the metro. The thing with Manila is that unlike Cebu and Panay, great seafood places are far and few in between so kudos to Seafood Island for making up for the lack of choices available in the metro. Seafood Island can get really crowded especially during lunch and dinner and that is for good reason. The food here is sumptuous and comes in huge servings so you can never go wrong especially if you are incredibly hungry. They have boodle fights available for those who will be coming in groups. A comment on the boodle fight is that sometimes, the crustaceans are just too tiny. I tried eating here and was served a crab that had an iota of meat. As far as the venue goes, I suggest that the restaurant will make it a point to make the venue cooler for the satisfaction of their guests. You must try the stuffed squiddy!
TIPS:
1. Take the barkada with you
2. come hungry
We had our TEAM DINNER at Seafood Island in Mall of Asia last week and it was so so good though the serving i can say is in medium it's quite ok just a comment the shrimps is a little too small and few ...
But for experience... I think its fine ...
Try it peeps. Try to eat by your hands to more enjoy the food on the banana leaves.
Visited the branch at the UP Ayala Technohub. It was nice because it isn't crowded and not much people are there so the place felt like kinda private. The food was great! Will definitely come back for more! :)
My friends and i decided to eat at seafood island. We scheduled this early out for me, half day for osh and sick leave for mam myrns just to try this out. We ordered boodle menu and Servings was huge for 3 girls that eats in small quantity. We love thier laing and sinigang na fish.. over all we love the experience. Service was fine. Kami lang kasi ang customer so attention are all ours.

Be it a formal lunch with associates and colleagues or a casual meal with family and friends, Seafood Island in MOA Complex is a to-go place. The wide dining space is funky and stylish with different hanging decors everywhere related to the sea.
Service wasn't lacking and there was no blind spots, as the counter is arranged at the middle of the restaurant's seating area.
We had two sets of the Tali Beach (PhP 995/set) which consisted of pork barbecue, chicken inasal, grilled tilapia, grilled squid, grilled eggplant, grilled tomatoes, steamed white shrimps, sauteed tahong, lato or seaweeds, green mangoes, watermelon and steamed rice with crispy dulong (small fish). The food was prepared to a very high standard. I was especially wow-ed by the presentation. The seafood came fresh and the bagoong (shrimp paste) amplified the sweet flavor. I loved how a little bit of everything brought the right balance to our palate.
Price is affordable and portions was just right, as each set was enough for four to five people to share.
It was my first time to Seafood Island and it would certainly not be the last. This is a place where you know you will always have an excellent meal with an interesting combination of seafood and some meat.
Seafood Island is located along the MOA Bay. It is a big seafood restaurant where you can enjoy music and the view of MOA Bay. Me and my family usually eat dinner here and sometimes me and my friends also. I recommend their group seafood meal rather than their solo meals because you will totally enjoy their group meals. Their group meals comprises of a grilled bangus (your choice of fish), grilled shrimps, grilled liempo, java rice and served with veggies. It looks so good when served because its like a feast of different food that will make you drool! What makes seafood island unique is they use banana leaves as their plates and its your choice if you want you eat using your hands or "kamay na pagkain" and for me pag- kamay is better! Lastly is, tho its looks expensive it's surprisingly adfordable!
Seafood island. Boodle fight
Me and my friends decided to eat at the back of MOA and tried their Dagupan beach i think... wow... well, of course the 3 of us were all small eaters and this was huge for us. We don't know where to start and it was a combination of seafood and bbq which was great. It was so plenty that we weren't able to finish it.
A week after we came back to try their Tali Beach... it was enormous. We were 4 already but we still have leftovers. I love the combinations and I cannot get enough of their boodle feast. They are really recommendable and I will definitely come back. I'll bring my family with me so they can try it as well.
Great ambiance and good food in one place! Love their Crab Marites and Oyster Cheese Overload! We always celebrate in this restaurant, from birthdays, anniversaries to family reunions, or anytime we want to enjoy good food, this is the place to be!
