Food Friday: SAT Asian Seafood

About a month ago a new seafood restaurant opened on NW Expressway. SAT Asian Seafood is originally out of the San Antonio area but have expanded to Oklahoma. I gave it a few weeks before we tried it out.

Located in the old Red Lobster, we stopped in on a quiet Friday night. I love all of the decorations, the light up lobster as you enter is just fun. We were seated quickly and had a server immediately. My one downside is this restaurant does specialize in seafood boils. I’m just not a fan, so that limited the menu for me pretty quickly. We ordered crab rangoon and mozzarella sticks to start while we looked over the menu. The appetizers came out pretty quickly and were good. I got the fried shrimp basket while Big K went with the fried catfish basket. These were pretty run of the mill fried seafood baskets. The shrimp were huge but nothing really special. Big K loved his catfish.

Service was great. SAT Asian Seafood is ok but their fried menu didn’t hit it out of the park for me. I’m giving them 4 strips of bacon because the service was good.

Food Friday: Anton’s Craft Kitchen

There are so many burger places, pizza parlors, and TexMex restaurants in the Oklahoma City metro so going into Anton’s Craft Kitchen is a different experience. Yes they have burgers and sandwiches, but there is much more to discover on their menu. 

When you enter the building you are greeted by Anton himself, who is more than happy to seat you and tell you the specials of the day. He will also help you navigate the menu, just in case you have any questions. He took our drink orders and left us to look the menu over. Now I had heard that the spinach & eggplant dip was amazing so I wanted to try that. It came out quick, a plate with the dip and two huge, warm buttered pitas. He told us how to break up the pitas into strips that can then be dipped. The reviews of the dip were right, it was great. This warm cheesy dip it paired perfectly with the buttery pitas, made for an excellent appetizer. On my first visit I got the mushroom swiss burger. This was a solid burger, plenty of sauteed mushrooms paired with swiss and a tangy craft house sauce. On my second visit I went for Roses chicken and shrimp over rice. This was awesome as well the craft sauce had a bit of heat to it but it worked with the chicken and shrimp. Now Big K has tried their chicken parmesan and the dish called green olives. He loved them both, the chicken parmesan was crispy served on a bed of homemade mashed potatoes. The green olives is chicken breast served with a lemon sauce and plenty of green olives over rice. He thought both dishes had a unique flavor.

So definitely try Anton’s Craft Kitchen, it is totally worth a visit. The spinach and eggplant dip is worth the trip but definitely try out their burgers and entrees as well. I will give them 5 strips of bacon along side their dip.
