I tried this place the other day after previously passing by and noticing it was no longer the Crab Shack. After a quick glance at the menu, I knew I'd definitely need to come back to try it. When we walked in, there were two people working behind the glass. We weren't greeted, but we figured we would just wait patiently. A few moments later, we still weren't acknowledged and they continued to work away and chat. So we started to walk around a bit, and that's when we noticed an ordering kiosk. I'm totally fine with a kiosk order situation, it was just behind us as we entered and we didn't know it was there. It would have been great if there was at least some signage for first timers because 1. we had no clue and 2. the staff seemed too busy to greet or help us. Idk, working on to go orders maybe? As we completed our order on the kiosk, a kind lady (maybe an owner or manager) came and asked if we had questions or needed help. At that point we didn't, but it was very kind of her to ask. Again, we had no clue how the set up was. Interestingly enough, a couple folks came in after us and were helped by staff at the counter. I'm still not sure if the kiosk is standard or optional.
Our order was brought to our table fairly quickly, but while we waited we enjoyed the space. Several TVs, exposed brick wall, plants separating some of seating. The bathroom was pretty clean as well and requires a key code for entry.
As for our order, I wanted to try a bit of everything as usual lol. However we settled on the following:
-The New Beijing bowl with brown rice and extra kimchi
-The Seoul Bowl with white rice and edamame
-chicken egg rolls
-Fresh watermelon juice
-Mango fruit tea with Boba
Overall, we were very satisfied with the quality of food and portions. My brother got his tea at 50% sweetness and found it perfect. My watermelon juice tasted fresh also. We both were hesitant to get the egg rolls because sometimes egg rolls can be too greasy. These weren't. We were super hungry so we opted for rice, but I love how you can also get salad instead. I'll definitely be back for lunch. I appreciate a quick meal that isn't complete trash and feels semi-healthy. If that's of interest to you, definitely give this place a try. read more
