    We came in on a Saturday afternoon, no reservation but waitlisted via Yelp. When we got to the restaurant, they were able to seat us right away for our party of 5 + 1 infant. The restaurant has a very chill vibe, almost like we are in Disneyland's Jungle cruise as they also have a Johnny Depp look-a-like statue. Very casual seating and they also have a full bar. They serve really fresh seafood, generous portions at a reasonable price for bay area. No problem with parking at all. Our family of 6, we ordered the following: * 3 of The boiling - 1 lb of Shrimp(head on) in house special sauce mild, 1 lb of Deveined Shrimp (head off) in Garlic Butter (w. Seasoning) and Snow crab legs in house special sauce spicy * 12 pcs House Oyster * Fried Calamari *Lobster roll with sweet potato fries * Garlic Noodles * side of Steam rice - must have with the seafood boil :) * Drinks - coke, lemonade, Michelada, soju Food was really good, fresh and flavorful seafood boils, friendly and attentive staff. They have happy hour Monday - Friday from 3 - 6 pm. Offering $3 draft beer, $5 well drinks and $7 cocktails, $5 fried okra, gumbo, clam chowder, sweet potato fries, fried pickles and calamari + $1.50 house of oysters. Definitely a must try and definitely coming back for more. July 2026

    cajun crack'n blows all the other seafood boil places out the water. they have $1.50 oysters mon - fri for happy hour and they're honestly SO good and so fresh. they're also big oysters as well. i took people who don't really like oysters but they loved these ones. despite the crawfish being frozen it's still super yum. they don't overcook the shrimp and the sausage is good too. i wish they would cook the garlic a BIT more since it's a little raw. the service is always great and it's a huge dining area that can accommodate large groups. my #1 seafood boil place in san jose/milpitas area!

    Super delicious and it never disappoints! We stopped by on Father's Day and had an amazing feast. The crab, shrimp, garlic noodles, and fries were all incredibly good. Sharing is caring, and there was definitely plenty of food for everyone. They also have some great beers, the service was excellent, and the restaurant was super clean. Everything came out fresh and flavorful, making it another memorable visit. This is easily my favorite seafood place, and I'll definitely keep coming back!

    Can't wait :P

    After going to several places, I can guarantee you that this is the best boiled you'll have for your buck! Honestly, the space is so welcoming, and the staff are some of them best! Shout out to Cherlene for making my first impression of this place the best to come to again with my friends! Not only was she's super helpful and informative with everything on the menu, but definitely knew what her favorites are ! Highly recommend this place for the atmosphere and amazing staff! Everything to feed two people plus leftovers with B almost $100 with drinks and lots of refills ! Will come again!

    Empty on a Sunday, great for me so no wait. Highlights: Cajun Hot Wings - 10/10. Crispy on the outside, so juicy and steaming on the inside. Came in ALL FLATS. My big back was in heaven. For the flat lovers out there, these are some of the best fried wings you will taste. The seasoning wasn't too overpowering either. Not really any heat or spice but the crunch and moistness and flavor was there. Seafood Boil - 9/10 We got the Cajun seasoning. Solid flavor, it didn't feel too greasy. I didn't feel there was too much sauce on ours, everything was seasoned well. We split this between two people and it was enough, but this bag alone probably won't leave two people satiated. The price point was really decent for being able to get crab though, for $45 for crab and 2 other choices of seafood + the potato's, corn and sausage that's a great deal. Service-10/10 very friendly staff. Bathrooms - clean. Overall establishment was very clean, we got our waters and menu immediately when we sat down. The food was delicious and I'd definitely come back.

    Garlic noodles
    Red C.

    We ordered takeout from Cajun Crack'n and it continues to be a go-to for us. Their seafood boil is always flavorful and satisfying, and the garlic noodles are a must every time. We usually take it home so we can really enjoy it comfortably, eating with our hands and pairing it with some home-cooked rice. The rice soaks up all that saucy goodness, which honestly makes it even better. Consistently good food and perfect for a laid-back, hands-on meal at home.

    Clams , sausage, corn and potatoes

    Tried Cajun Crack'n and overall it was a good experience. The seafood was fresh, and the seasoning had a great kick with just the right amount of spice. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was how thick the sauce was--it was a little heavier than I personally prefer. Aside from that, the flavors were really good, the portions were satisfying, and I'd definitely come back to give it another try.

    Fried Soft Shell Crab
    Tiffany S.

    My dad's favorite restaurant, he's convinced this is the best seafood boil in the bay. The interior feels like a ship with the wooden framing and jack sparrow statue welcoming you. Always a fun trip. The weekday lunch special is pretty good (I believe it's $12 for 1 lb of shrimp and a sausage corn and potato), but my dad loves crawfish so I don't often go for that. Crawfish prices depends on if it's fresh or frozen (fresh is more expensive). The spiciness of the house sauce depends on who is cooking it that day. My server this time told us that if you can handle 2x Buldak, you could handle spicy, but there's days that spicy is spicy spicy! Check with the server before ordering because your mileage may vary. The server was also really on top of getting us straws, wipes, napkins, gloves, etc. I'm a sucker for the deep fried and the soft shell crab and oysters here are great. I prefer the garlic fries (more flavorful) to the Cajun fries (more crunchy) personally. I need greens with every meal to lie to myself that I'm healthy so I ordered the salad. I like the veggies used but it's more sauce than I would like, I'd order sauce on the side next time!

    Great place to come for happy hour oysters. Oysters are usually $1.5 during happy hour but on Tuesday and Wednesdays they offer $1 house oysters (pacific oysters) and $2 Kumamoto oysters

    Delicious seafood , especially the fresh shrimp and crab . Everything tastes amazing. A whole bag of seafood boil paired with corn and sausage goes perfectly together. The garlic noodles are also very tasty, though the garlic flavor is a bit too strong. Haha! Besides the fries and onion rings, I highly recommend their fried calamari. It has a great texture and isn't tough at all. Highly recommended, but try to avoid coming during peak hours because there will be a bit of a wait. 好吃的海鮮,尤其是新鮮的蝦子和螃蟹,味道好吃,一整袋子的手抓海鮮搭配玉米和香腸非常的對味,香蒜拌麵也非常的好吃,不過蒜頭味太重了。哈!另外除了薯條和洋蔥圈以外,我最推崇的是他們家的炸魷魚,非常有口感也不會硬。強烈推薦給各位,但是儘量別在飯點來,排隊會需要一點時間。

    Lobster roll as advertised
    Bogdan K.

    Just wanted to come on here to mention that overall, food was very good. However, I can't give this place 5 stars. We ordered 2 lobster rolls which looked nothing like what was pictured on the menu (see attached photos). I asked the waiter pointing to the picture on the menu if that was the lobster roll, and they said yes. The order we recieved was probably 1/3 of the size and did not have anywhere near the pieces or large chunks of lobster pictured on the menu. Through pictures already posted, I've found the picture of the advertised roll on the menu photo, and the real order you recieve. The menu photo appears to have around 6-8oz of lobster, whereas the real order appears to only have closer to 2-3oz. Dissapointing when the plate was placed in front of me to see the reality. Still, overall a good eatery, just would be nice if food was delivered as advertised on the photos, otherwise its just fake advertising.

    ONE lb of Shrimp Boil (mid spicy) corn, potato, sausage n side steam rice YUM flay. Shirley Temple was perfect 4 dat kind of seafood kick.

    Wonderful service from Melanie, Brandon & Kane (TY) at der Seafood place of work..it's not by a harbor but when u crave da food, it's locally Der. There is a bar I have yet to come back to with peeps..out of the blue spirits let's try this cool place in Milpitas, CA which opened after the pandemic. Great to catch up with friends during a sports game and cool walls u can write on authorized with yo own colored marker. Must visit when in da area! Stay healthy n hydrate after too esp if u drink!

    Combo #1 with Crawfish, shrimp, and baby octopus with medium spice House Special sauce
    John L.

    The seafood boil here is good but nothing stand out. Quality sauce and freshness of the seafood are all you need to have a good boil and the House Special sauce was slightly below average but the freshness of the seafood was fine. After all the glowing reviews I've heard about this place I did expect more, but overall I enjoyed my meal here. Pros - Good service and food came out quickly - Plenty of easy parking - Large restaurant, came on a Sunday afternoon and there was plenty of seats - Their happy hour deals look like a great deal Cons - I've had many different house special sauces in the area and this one lands slightly below middle of the pack. It was very one note and is pretty much what you would expect.

It is in the general area with Cere Tea and Koi Palace. We arrived around 6PM and were seated immediately. We came for the seafood don and both got the UME with an addition of the ochazuke set. For $26 + 4.5 for the set, I think it's really worth the price and you get a good amount of fresh fish. Each bite felt like I was transported to Japan and eating a Kaisendon.

For $19, the portion and overall value were excellent. One thing that impressed me before the entrée even arrived was the complimentary sourdough bread. It came out warm, with just the right amount of tang. The crust was thin and crisp rather than overly thick or hard, while the inside stayed soft. They also made several cuts in the loaf before serving it, which made it very easy to pull apart and share. It sounds like a small detail, but I've been to plenty of restaurants where the complimentary bread arrives cold, overly hard, or as one large loaf that is awkward to tear apart. This one was genuinely very good. The entrée itself was generously portioned. The four coconut shrimp were crispy and flavorful, and I really enjoyed the coconut rice and vegetables as well. I also appreciated that the food was served on a hot plate, which helped everything stay warm during the meal. The one real disappointment was the mahi mahi. It was noticeably dry and somewhat underseasoned, so unfortunately the main piece of fish ended up being the weakest part of an otherwise very enjoyable plate. Everything else was quite good. Service was also above average. My server was a young gentleman who seemed attentive to the table. Shortly after the food arrived, he came over to see if I needed anything and specifically suggested things like salt and pepper. I appreciated that--it's more thoughtful and useful than simply asking a generic "Do you need anything?" He also checked in periodically during the meal without being intrusive. There were still a couple of small things keeping the service from being exceptional. The bread wasn't proactively refilled, and after I had completely finished everything on my plate, it would have been nice to have someone stop by fairly quickly to clear it and ask how everything was. Still, these are minor points, and overall I thought the service was very good, especially for a younger server. Overall, I left with a very positive impression and would definitely come back. Their Social Hour menu looks especially interesting, with good prices on oysters, mussels, scallops, calamari, and other starters. I'm also curious to return on a Sunday to try the $19 cioppino special. Very good value, attentive service, excellent complimentary bread, and mostly very good food. I'd happily return--I'd just choose something other than the mahi mahi next time.

After today's visit, though... I finally understand why the second location closed.

The corn tasted old, the shrimp and snow crab didn't taste fresh, and the snow crab clusters had barely any meat. By the time I cracked everything open, it felt like there was more shell than seafood. The mussel shells even had barnacles on them, which I've never seen here before. It made the seafood feel like it hadn't been cleaned as well as it should have. The garlic fries were crispy, but that's it. It was weird--I could see the garlic and was literally eating it, yet there was no garlic flavor. The garlic noodles used to be one of my favorite items because they were bold and packed with garlic. Now they've definitely toned the flavor down, and they're just not the same anymore. It's honestly disappointing because this place used to be one of my favorite seafood spots. The food quality has clearly declined while the prices have continued to go up. I hope they can get back to what made this place so good, but based on today's experience, I can't recommend it anymore.

We were also told we couldn't order or pay over the phone because of the cost, which was already a little frustrating. But the food was the real disappointment. The sauce was extremely watered down, to the point that the seasoning wouldn't even stick to the shrimp, crab, potatoes, or corn. The crab itself was flimsy and somehow tasted dry like it wasn't fresh, and several of the claws had little to no meat in them. Being a pescatarian, and I can honestly say I've never thrown away a pound of king crab until today. For what king crab costs, that says everything. We used to love this place, which is why this experience was especially disappointing.
