The most popular “explosive clam dish” comes with five different sauces: red sauce, white sauce, Thai spicy and sour, green pesto, and their signature orange sauce. The set meal also includes a drink. On noodles soaked in sauce sits a tempting runny egg — it’s all super comforting. As for the star ingredient, the clams, the portion is extremely generous, several times more than what you’d typically get elsewhere.

When customers see the super generous amount of clams, they can’t help but exclaim how unbelievable it is — they’ve never enjoyed such a hearty clam pasta dish before. If you’re a first-time visitor unsure where to start, try the ultra-creamy white sauce or the mysterious-tasting signature orange sauce.

Don’t worry if you’re not a pasta fan — the diverse menu also offers Italian risotto. The soft, fully-cooked rice offers a perfect balance of residual moisture and concentrated sauce. And, of course, the clams are just as generous, almost drowning the main dish, with each plump clam offering its sweet, natural flavor — it’s hard to stop yourself from eating them all.

Paired with fries, grilled toast, and a small salad, the incredible flavor of the clams really stands out.
