This was my first time visiting and I Will definitely be back! Nice portions, well seasoned and didn’t break the bank! I had the loaded crab legs and shrimp and it was delicious!
Came to visit my brother, and he took me here. Best place in Indy!!! If you haven't been you missing out.
I've been trying to get myself to Chef Oya's The Trap for months, maybe a year now! You know why? They're open Wednesday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Do you know what else? You can only get away with those kinds of hours if your food is excellent. The bottom line is Chef Oya's food is absolutely fantastic! The food is fresh and just popping with flavor. Buttery, garlicky seafood sprinkled generously with parmesan. The potatoes, broccoli, and corn make for a perfect combination of tastes and textures. Large portions. Friendly service. Reasonable prices. One negative, aside from the limited hours, is that you'll need to take your food elsewhere or eat in your car.
My first time trying Chef Oya's The TRAP. I ordered today's special: Loaded All Shrimp Tray and it is ????????????????????????!!! Only $15. ???????? I will be back!!! ????????????????????????????????????????
So you go up to a window to order. There is a small plastic cutout, and It's really difficult to hear the person and they aren't so friendly. There is a speaker that cuts in and out.
You order and they turn around and you receive it in about 3 minutes flat.
Nothing is made to order. The broccoli was cold.
But as long as you know what you're getting, this is an incredible value. I got the island curry loaded shrimp for $15. Shrimp was tender and basically perfect.
I can't attest to the crab or lobster but I'd certainly be willing to give them a try next time.
I just wish they had a place to sit or something. Just put a table out there somewhere. Oh, and why do we need a plastic cutout window? I guess it's the charm of the place but c'mon.
Whatever 5 stars anyways.
I tried this place for the first time and I got the crab legs/shrimp tray and it was absolutely amazing! It was very well seasoned and generous portioning. The staff were professional and fast! I definitely will be returning.
Chef Oya's the TRAP
Rating: 4.3/5 stars
Do y'all like feeling as if you need to take a shower after you eat dinner? Do you enjoy the danger of eating unknown amounts of oil and butter? Do you want to literally see how much seafood can be stuffed into an ordinary styrofoam container? Do you crave having your name screamed by Chef Oya herself?
The goods: Small, hole-in-the-wall feel and charm. Extremely fast service. Large portions. The shrimp and crab were cooked perfectly.
The bads: The food was lukewarm at best- wish it was a bit hotter (temperature-wise). The broccoli was pretty mushy while the potatoes were a little undercooked. I wish there was more depth to the flavor profile. Don't get me wrong, I love butter, oil, garlic, and parmesan cheese. But that's basically all that can be tasted here. There are a variety of sauces, so I'll be back to try a different one.
Amazing! Worth waiting even in the cold outside! The chowder is better than what I had in Boston!!!!!!!
I had the shrimp platter and my husband had the shrimp 5 ways
The sides were good, broccoli, potatoes and an ear of corn as well as a boiled egg all slathered in the butter and spice of your choice.
This is take out ONLY
You will be waiting outside but again so worth it.
Go early otherwise they might run out of what you plan on getting.
