The fried oysters are an absolute must. The garlic noodles are good but pretty heavy so I would skip next time. Food came out pretty fast and there was no wait on a Thursday night. There's plenty of seating and parking as well.

Quite possibly the last seafood boil that offers combo packages!…read more Came at 5pm and there was only one table aside from us. However, the service was quick and the ambiance was clean and casual. We ordered the #2 combo which was $72 (crawfish, shrimp, lobster, sausage, potato & corn) was included. The crawfish was live so they charged an additional $3 which brought the total to $75. The lobster tails were decent and cut in half. The restaurant was kind enough to bring a side of the torpedo sauce for us to dip. The seafood was fresh so no complaints!

The food comes out piping hot and so fresh. We waited 40 minutes for a table, but well worth the wait. I haven't been to Vietnam, but I've heard this food here is comparable from there. Definitely coming once a month here for my seafood fix!.

Even though they offer Yelp check-in, you'll still be waiting a good while after they tell you to "check in with the host." So come prepared to wait. Now, the FOOD. Hands down, some of the best seafood dishes around! Everything is so well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. The servers are also super friendly and attentive, which definitely helps make the experience better. Just know that this restaurant is BUSY. Do not come expecting a quiet, slow-paced meal. The food comes out quickly, the place is loud because it's packed, and you can definitely feel the hustle and rush. But honestly? I keep craving the food here, so I brave the crowds and come back anyway. It's THAT good. One thing to note: definitely ask the servers about the menu, but don't feel like you have to order everything they recommend. Our server raved about the coconut prawns, which were $60, and unfortunately, they were not worth it for me. Long wait, loud atmosphere, questionable $60 prawns... but I'd still come back for the seafood.

It's my go to seafood restaurant in Gardena, I'm glad I found this location in cypress. Everything was soo delicious and worth the price! The ambiance is casual and plenty of seatings! This location is huge! They have cute beach vibes inside! Good for any type of parties or celebrations. Service is amazing! Everyone was friendly. The server Sheena was very nice, helpful and recommended us the best deals! We came in an hour before they close and really appreciate her taking care of us! Crab shack is my favorite place and my go to if I'm craving seafood boil! Their crab shack style sauce is super delicious! I got mild because it can get really spicy. The flavors are definitely hitting! The portion is definitely good for sharing! I love the appetizer and other main dishes. Soo many options to choose from you definitely won't get bored! The clam chowder , fried oysters with fries and garlic noodles definitely complimented well with the 3lbs shrimp we got! I also got pina colada to balance the taste and it's very refreshing! We definitely left feeling full, satisfied and happy! I will definitely comeback to this place and recommend this to my friends and family!

We came here on Good Friday evening, after leaving another seafood boil spot(they had a long wait)…read more We were seated after a few minutes, and orders placed about 815pm. We got the combo #2 which came with your choice of head on shrimp, clams and crab (snow crab). We got the crab shack house sauce with medium spicy. All this seafood is steamed in a bag, comes with corn, potatoes and sausage pieces. Everything was quite tasty. The fries are crispy and had a generous cheese sprinkle of Parmesan. Sweet potato fries also taste great. Be prepared to dig in with bare hands - they do provide thin gloves and disposable bibs. I got steamed rice but maybe didn't need it. The one pound peeled shrimp in garlic butter no spice was quite tasty. The three servers were completely slammed. But they did keep things running well- between taking orders to each table, & serving refills , bussing tables and closing out bills. Communal sink for washing. I think part of etiquette is to NOT rinse out your mouth here. It's used by everyone after all. I do wish the floor was was in better condition - it's a bit rough uneven and slippery.

Was craving some fish n chips and saw that they have some with shrimp as well. Surprised by the amount of advertised protein (50g+). The portion size for the price was decent, and I like that they gave me 2 sides of tartar sauce. The fries were a little bit on the lukewarm side, but I can look past that considering the rice was cooked perfectly. The fish is crispy on the outside, but so soft and flaky on the inside. Shrimp was properly breaded. The sodas they have were really good, I liked the berry açai one a lot. Will def come back.

The service from Maria was five starts...unfortunately, everything else was 2 stars…read more I used to love CA fish grill, but I moved out of state and coming back was a huge disappointment. No more fresh bar with sauces and condiments. I ordered the fish tacos and my mom ordered fish and chips. The batter was really weird and my fish was wayyy overcooked. Super stingy with the fish on my tacos, they took one piece and cut it in half. The soda machine wasn't well maintained, the bottom was filled with dirty water and a couple of the sodas were out. Spent way too much money on low quality food, super bummed.

Unlike some places where I leave feeling bloated, I don't get that way here. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, which is harder to find than you'd think. A lot of seafood places tend to overcook shrimp, making it rubbery or soggy, but Fire Crab absolutely nailed it. And the garlic fries? Insane. They definitely do not hold back on the garlic, which I loved. The garlic noodles were also incredibly buttery, flavorful, and downright addictive. What really made our experience stand out was the service. We came with a large group, and the owner was so sweet, attentive, and welcoming throughout our meal. It's clear they genuinely care about their customers and making sure everyone has a great experience. Great food, amazing service, and consistently delicious flavors. Fire Crab is a spot I'll keep coming back to!

The seafood tasted really fresh overall, and the sauce was flavorful, and packed with seasoning. It was a little on the thin side since I like it thick and it couldve used a lot more garlic. We got crawfish, shrimp, and oysters. The crawfish were decently sized -- a few bigger pieces mixed in, but mostly medium-sized. Still, they tasted fresh and the flavor was really good The Kumomato oysters were just okay. I've definitely had fresher, colder oysters elsewhere, but honestly, I don't come to a shrimp and crawfish boil spot expecting right outta the water oyster bar quality. Overall, Fire Crab hits the craving well. Solid 4 stars all around! Service had great attitide!

Quality HOT POT over here!…read more Place is a little hard to spot but be sure to lookout for the flagship name "Raising Claw". My bro and I opted out on the 55$ premium AYCE menu. The establishment really focuses on quality and representation. The first round order took about ten minutes to come out after the soup broth was brought out. Second round order was very consistent as the quality of marbled meats came out as identical as the first batch. The tri tip and Australia rib eye was very savory. All beef options were all excellent. Chuck roll is a little too chewy for my liking as opted out on second and third order. Green tea ice cream matcha is a good meal ender. Restrooms - Clean Would definitely come back!

My expectations were blown out of the water with this place. We wanted to try a new hotpot place…read moreand came across this up and coming location and wanted to give it a stab. It might be hard to find but it's located in the raising claw at the corner of the plaza! We got the premium set which came with SO much meat. The quality of all the meats were very good and diverse. Our server Hayden was also very knowledgeable on all the cuts and attentive to our needs. He was switching out plates for us and bringing in new foods in the set menu as we ate. The restaurant set up is nice too, you don't have to worry about crammed tables as they have carts to put your extra plates on so you have plenty of room to eat. Overall the experience was fun and the food was really good, the price point is high but definitely worth it since you get a lot of meats and seafood as well. Personally I'd place this location better than mokkoji or Shabuya :).

I really like that it is spacious (easy to walk around) and it had some funny and cool decor - it had an alligator display on the wall haha. There was also ample parking outside.

It was so yummy. * Peeled Shrimp - This was juicy and delicious! * Calamari - Very crispy and the dipping sauce was good as well. It was a lot of food for us and we had take some home. Our server was nice and friendly! Hope to come back here again.

It's all I ate, but it was a good value, good size shrimp and nice clean and crisp fry. Staff was great, although I wish they had lemons available, they only had limes. The batter of the shrimp could have used some seasoning, but the cocktail sauce was very good at making up for it. I was disappointed that some of the beef items from previous menus online were not on the menu, but their selection was still decent. TL;DR Fried Shrimp 7/10 -Good size -Good crispiness -Good cocktail sauce -Had limes/no lemons -Lacks seasoning
