- SshaniGoldSan Francisco Bay Area •14 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoThe food was amazing. I got the snapper Poboy, which was HUGE! And it only cost $20, such a great bargain. We also got the whole crab with Black and prawns but subbed out our garlic noodles for greens and yams. Delicious! We will be returning!More infoSmellys$$$$• Creole / Cajun / Southern• Oakland•4.6
