Crab house - this is simply when we first got seated, they were kind enough to bring out appetizers free of charge - Seafood Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Good portions and delicious appetizers. Dan Dan noodles are very spicy but delicious. Service could be faster with more staff.

Crab House (connected to Fish House) is one of those spots getting a lot of buzz online, especially for their crab roe over rice and noodles--and yes, the hype is real. We got both versions, and they absolutely delivered. The roe sauce is rich, briny, and deeply savory, coating every bite of rice and noodles with a luxurious, ocean-y umami. It's bold but well-balanced--definitely a standout. We also ordered the acorn squirrel fish, which reminded us of a sweet-and-sour whole fish. Super crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and served with a bright, tart sauce that had just the right kick. Really flavorful and satisfying. They do offer a seafood boil here, which we didn't get this time, but it looked and smelled amazing at nearby tables--something we'd come back for. The glass noodles with crab, however, didn't quite match the rest. The noodles were soft and infused with mushroom flavor, which was a bit overpowering, and the crab itself didn't add much--barely any meat and not a ton of impact. Just OK. Ambience is minimal but clean. Not a lot of frills, but it works. Service was alright--not rude, but a bit inattentive. We had to follow up on rice we ordered with the fish, which took a while to arrive. All in all, a strong 4 stars. A few misses, but the crab roe dishes and that sweet & sour-style fish are worth coming for. We'll be back. read more

Their crab roe noodles and the xiao long bao are a must, but they have a wide variety of other options as well

The woman working here is so nice. Food is great too! We ordered the crab roe over rice, seafood wonton in fish soup and scallion noodle. Would definitely come back! Seating was comfortable and spacious too! read more

Delicious! Food was very fresh / made to order and service was fast. Would recommend the crab rice and squirrel-shaped fried fish.

Got seated fairly quick on a Sunday evening. Food came out even quicker and freshly cooked/steaming. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the plaza read more

The food is definitely delicious and flavorful. Although the pricing is higher than expected, but it's worth a try. Besides the crab meat noodle, I actually really like the soup rice. It was sweet and great seafood taste. The service was good. Waiter was very friendly and gave some suggestions since we're first time guests there. This would be a place I would return back. read more

Great experience! Food and drinks were great. Servers were nice and atmosphere was pleasing.

This restaurant is a new addition to the plaza, and we were curious to try it out. The owners also run Wu's Fish House next door, and they share the same kitchen. We ordered crab roe soup dumpling buns and crab roe tofu over rice. While waiting, we were given appetizers: peanuts, pickled radishes, and marinated cloud ears, with the latter standing out the most. After a lengthy wait, I asked about our order, and the waitress apologized, explaining they had limited cooks. We finally received the crab roe tofu over rice, which my husband and I shared. The flavor was delicious, but the mushy rice was disappointing. It was also puzzling that our appetizers were served after our main entree. We waited a while, sipping tea ($3) before the waitress brought out the soup dumplings. The dumplings were very good, with on-point flavor. I recommend not using the fish sauce, as it disrupts the delicate taste. The skin was thicker than expected, but the dumplings were still sublime. Although the restaurant offers more than crab roe dishes, we focused on these for our first visit. We were quite happy with our selections. Here are our ratings: -Crab roe soup buns: 4/5 stars -Crab roe tofu over rice: 4/5 stars -Service: 3.5/5 stars -Atmosphere: 3.5/5 stars Overall, we give this place 4/5 stars and plan to revisit to try other dishes. read more

Attractive Shanghai style food! Didn't order the signature crab roe over rice or noodles since it is pretty pricey and I am not a big fan of crab. However those dishes I oreded really bring me back to southern China! Shanghai and Jiangsu area. Miss the food in China so much. This is great. read more

Came across this place and were guided to a table by the hostess, who then realized the table had plates and nothing was cleared. We sat for like 10-15 minutes in the bench and finally seated. The service throughout the dinning experience is what made me give this restaurant a 3/5. The staff service was really delayed and some plates never even came to us, we ended up canceling them. Overall the food we ordered wasn't anything to rave to home about. It was average, but we were so hungry. I wouldn't run back to the restaurant for the specialty crab plate, but I'm glad that we tried it once. I wished they had more plate options. The ambience was decent and just a small shop, just had several tables, but nothing that sticks out. read more

All the things I ordered were great. I got the seaweed salad and crab cakes for starters. I ate alone but these two appetizers are probably portioned to be shared by at least two people. The eel rice bowl came out a little later than I thought it would but it was hot. Unfortunately it wasn't as my hopes had been tricked to expect it to look like accompanied by broccoli as on the ipad menu picture. Upon asking staff told me that it was just a picture. I might get a plate of broccoli next time if I come with a party as the broccoli and carrots really did the menu picture justice in selling it to me. Other than that service was fine, I don't like to be bothered every five minutes by staff asking about the food and I was only ever approached by staff when they had my food since I ordered everything from the ipad. Chinese music was playing in an otherwise quiet and vacant restaurant at least before 3 pm on a Thursday. I would like to visit again. I thought the crab cakes were a little salty but otherwise everything was fine. read more

The restaurant itself is sort of confusing to get to since it shares with another restaurant. However, it's fast service and great food.

My love for seafood brought me to this new restaurant conveniently located in the hmart shopping center. It is on the 2nd floor above the korean skincare store. The restaurant actually shared the same space as the fish house. One side is the fish house and the other side is the crab house. We it's for the crab house because it was something different. We were seated at the window with a great view of the shopping center. It wasn't all that busy around 12pm on a Saturday. We ordered the crab roe over noodles, can roe and roast pork soup dumplings, and sweet and sour pork ribs. Woke waiting for our order, they brought our salted peanuts, black fungus salad, and this pickled dish. Loved the black fungus salad. It was light and refreshing! The pickled dish wasn't something I would normally gravitate towards so it was barely touched. The soup dumplings and crab roe noodles came out first. At first sight, the amount of noodles that came with the crab roe was very little. I know crab roe is expensive but they could of given more noodles, which is relatively cheap. Overall price for this dish was $32.95 so although it was very delicious, it 32.95 wasn't worth the price for the portion size. There wasn't much flavor to the crab roe and roasted duck soup dumplings. There was a slight duck flavor which definitely covered up the crab roe flavor. I would recommend just getting the plain crab roe dumplings on their own. Last dish was the sweet and sour pork ribs, which was very flavorful and tender. The meat was fall off the bone and the sauce was more of a tomato sauce. Overall, an OK place to check out but don't expect to walk away feeling full. All serving sizes are quite small for the price so something to keep in mind if you decide to give this place a try. read more

Decided to try this place out for lunch. Ordered their crab noodles, steamed buns with crab meat, soup with crab meat and appetizer Szechuan chicken. Everything came out luke warm and the noodles was cold. The idea is good, but feels like everything was just prepackaged and warmed back up then served. Also the Szechuan chicken with cucumber appetizer was terrible. It was way too dry and the bland. Will not be coming back. read more

Located in the H-mart shopping plaza, Crab House is located on the second floor above Kura Sushi. With a shared entryway, Crab House is to the right and Fish House is to the left. Likewise, the kitchen staff is also shared. Decor is minimalist with simple furnishings. Service was swift. After our order was ordered, complementary appetizers of black fungus, pickled turnip and roasted peanuts were placed on the table. Unfortunately the wait for our order of Crab Roe Dumplings and Crab Roe with Tofu over rice took some time. The explanation given was many of the chefs were off. This was a Tuesday afternoon. The Crab Roe with Tofu over rice was pure comfort food.....crabby, salty with frozen peas over a hefty serve of wet, sticky rice. Unfortunately, the dumplings arrived after we had slowly consumed the rice dish. The dumplings were ok. The pork overshadowed the crab roe and the accompanying sauce overpowered all. Overall, it was a positive experience and will return to try other items on their menu. Notes: * Hot tea is $3 read more

The food was decent and the service was good. I ordered the Dan Dan noodles, Crab Roe, Spicy Beef, and Orange Fish. The Crab Roe over rice was tasty and savory. The noodles and spicy beef were at the right spice level and good flavor. The orange fish taste was good but I prefer it more crispy. The table was nice and comfortable which made the environment good. I would come back. read more

The steamed blue crab with rice noodles, enough for two. Surprised me as over my expectation. Also ordered wonton and rice; both went good. Environment is okay, not very attractive, but has big windows and enough space. Was about to give a 4.5, but there's no 4.5. May be an underrated~~ read more

Service was fast and quick. Went on a Thursday before 5pm. Food was nothing special, not somewhere I'd feel like I need to come back. I love crab but was left pretty disappointed. Found crab shell pieces within the crab and roe and overall felt underwhelmed. It was pretty pricey for the meal and I didn't think it was worth it. read more

I don't know why this place has such bad reviews. I enjoyed the food here. I loved the crab roe rice. It's pricey but tasted exactly how I pictured it. The pan fried dumplings were sooooo juicy and flavorful. Probably some of the best dumplings I've had. We could've eaten multiple orders to be honest. The coconut shrimp and fries were just ok, quality was like something you'd get at a cheap buffet. read more

I love crab and couldn't wait to try this restaurant. When I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. I walked into a small, cute restaurant. I was served by Wein. I started with the iced lemon black tea, and that was good hust wish it was a little more sweet. For my appetizer, I got the crab cake, which was good! I also had the crab Roe over noodles, which was very tasty, and the crab roe soup buns, which I enjoyed! All the food was pretty good all in all! read more

My parents and I were walk-ins for a table of three, and we were seated very quickly. The waiter was very nice. He stopped us from ordering three dishes of similar flavors and suggested us on trying something else. We tried their crab over rice, crab over noodles, crab roe and pork pan-fried buns, and their crab roe and peking duck pork soup buns. For the crab over rice/noodles, they gave us a lot of crab roe. We ended up ordering more noodles to finish it. Out of everything we ordered, I would say my favorite was was soup buns. Everything else really did taste the same. The soup dumplings stood out the most in flavor. There was a sufficient amount of soup in each bun. read more

Entering 15min before opening on a Sunday the male host wouldn't address us for a good min bc he was too busy on TikTok. As a fellow business owner first impressions mean a lot it equates to profitability and if your employee who is being paid to greet and address your customers from a first point of contact is clearly not interested in doing a very simple yet rewarding job you should sit them thru training or hire someone who actually understands what he or she needs to do especially if your charging $32 for a crab over rice plate just a thought read more

was craving some crabs without the mess or the heaviness of going to my usual seafood boil joint. i ordered the tofu and definitely regret not getting the original crab roe dish ! it is sumptuous and rich. i wish the roe was slightly undercooked but never experienced anything like this so unsure how its originally served. next time i would work out the noodle to sauce ratio better- theyre served separately which i appreciated very much. chicken wings were perfectly crispy and well seasoned! 4 pieces were definitely not enough. nanjing duck was served ... cold ? but has a distinct flavor of ginger which i absolutely loved. we ended up taking it home to conclude the dish at a different temperature this place is brand new as the extension of the plaza is a recent addition and it shows. its very clean and spacious. i did take notice how many people were dining given that they have no online presence. theyre not even mentioned on the festival plazas website. they were pretty busy for having very limited advertising. people mustve heard about this place via word of mouth? another thing ive noticed was that we were the only non chinese folks in the establishment. the waitresses preferred to speak in their native tongue. ok idk if this bit adds to the authenticity of the place, but they will not serve anything but water, tea and plum juice i will be returning ! read more

I have to admit I saw this business on social media and I had to try their crab roe over rice. It was $32 for a small bowl plus a medium bowl of rice. It was tasty enough. We also got the red snapper and a an order to san jeen bau with crab/ pork. I am glad I got to try and experience the crab roe rice but $32 for rice and sauce was too much. First and last time I will be back. Service was great though. The waitress was a one- woman show and she was able to handle all of her tables. Much kudos to her. Attentive and prompt. read more

It's ok but really nothing that special. The place is a bit cavernous with a bit of a pop-up budget friendly decor in a shared space with another restaurant that's a fish stew oriented. If it's the same owner they may as well combine the place and menus rather than try to be too specialized in two different but similar concepts. Food is decent but nothing spectacular. We were drawn to the crab noodle/rice dishes which were the ones heavily publicized. The noodle base is well done but the crab sauce seemed to lack richness, flavor and body that we had hoped. Especially at a price point of $32+ per bowl which is a real premium. We also tried the xiaolongbaos which were also on the pricey side compared to those found elsewhere but didn't taste all too different. It was good but again nothing noteworthy or premium-oriented. Service was friendly and efficient although it wasn't super busy on a weekday lunchtime. Hopefully they broaden the menu but as a spot that touts its crab-based specialties and the price points they've set an expectation that wasn't met. read more

Bad food, overpriced, unprofessional, unsanitary....The baby shrimp dish that I ordered came with a hair on top. The dumpling noodle soup was THE worst food I have ever had from a restaurant, the chef doesn't know how to cook. Avoid this place! read more
