Shrimp and mussels
Huong L.

We finally tried dine in here and was pretty impressed. This might be our go to place for Chinese food and seafood boil in the area. We went for lunch and it was pretty quiet. I think we were the only customers there. We ordered a seafood boil, salt and pepper frog legs and a lunch combo of chow mein and beef. The portion of these are really good for the price. The seafood boil was plump and juicy. I did wish it was more flavorful though. The frog legs was really good though. Love how it was juicy and the texture. The chowmein had a really good wok flavor! Service is good too. Overall definitely will be back again, hopefully they get more business!

Nice and peaceful on Saturday at 2pm

Came here specifically for the salt & pepper crab and yep... worth the drive from Everett. Seasoned perfectly -- not overly salty or greasy, just right. Also ordered the sweet & sour chicken with fried rice and it was legit delicious. No complaints, just solid comfort food done right. Service was great -- shoutout to Kacey for taking care of us (and hooking it up with to-go cups for our sodas, which was a nice touch). The vibe was chill too -- clean space, relaxing piano music in the background, nothing chaotic. Even the fortune cookie was good, which honestly feels rare these days. The guy next to us ordered the garlic lobster and I'm still thinking about it... looked . Just don't order the coleslaw, its not your traditional coleslaw but instead lettuce with creamy sauce. We drove 35 minutes on a Saturday afternoon to get here and yeah -- I'd do it again.

My G-kids (& son)invited to lunch at one of their favorite restaurants. They talk about it a lot. We had their favorite combo dishes, shrimp & broccoli with Fried Rice, and sweet and sour chicken with beef chow mein along with an order of salt and pepper shrimp, and corn on the cob. Restaurant is well maintained, and plenty of parking outside the restaurant. Food & Service was good.

Combo 4

Parking is plenty and easy to find. The interior is spacious making it good for large groups. Noise level is quiet. Combo #4 (4/5): so yummy. Flavor was good. Portion size was humongous. Good to share amongst 3 people I'd say. There were some clams that weren't open though. However eating was quite fun. They give you mini shears making it easy to cut the shell fish. Gloves are also provided to keep your hands clean. Overall, Crab Season is a great seafood boil restaurant. Service is quick and food is delicious.

Great service and very nice staff! I don't think I've gone to a bad crab boil restaurant, thanks to Yelp reviews They offer a great selection of different foods which is great for our somewhat picky 5-year old. We'd go again! The restaurant is older but very clean, the service is fast, and the staff is on top of it!

Tried the Combo 3 with garlic butter and mild spice, absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh, juicy, and full of flavor. The crab legs were easy soo good, the corn and potatoes soaked up all that buttery goodness. Prices are fair for how much food you get, and the menu has tons of options. Cozy place, friendly service, and it really hits the spot if you're craving a good seafood boil. Definitely coming back soon!

Stir Fry Clams

Ordered some Chinese takeout on Thanksgiving from Crab Season and was surprised by how good it was. The restaurant is known more as a Cajun seafood restaurant, but I thought the Chinese food items were great. Ordered the stir fry clams, salt & pepper pork chops and Szechuan beef, which were all delicious. However, I will say the Szechuan beef was not very spicy, as was indicated on the menu. The packaging was excellent as I was concerned about liquid leakage, particularly with the clams. Menu pricing is great and one of the most affordable for Chinese food in Bellevue. Despite the generic restaurant name, I think Crab Season is a good spot to grab some everyday Chinese takeout on the Eastside.

The food and service was amazing!! I'm surprised there weren't more people there, but it was the beginning of lunch time. The place was clean, the servers were attentive and friendly and the food was fresh and plentiful and affordable, especially for all the food we ordered! It was $35 total for 2 entrees and corn and we still had food leftover! Next time we will try the crab pot!! I definitely recommend it!!

Couldn't believe how empty it was - the food was fantastic!! We hit the jackpot haha!

My family had a delectable dinner here during our vacation - what a local gem this is!! Family owned, great service, relaxing casual vibes, and the food is delicious!! It's like a Cajun-Asian fusion spot with everything from crab rangoons to gumbo. Very interesting menu and we loved all the items we tried. We were starving when we arrived so we ordered a bunch of stuff to try and I'll give you a word of warning- their portions are very generous so we couldn't finish it all haha! We tried the Honey Walnut Shrimp, Sweet & Sour Chicken, Garlic Noodles, Garlic Green Beans, Gumbo, and of course some Crab Rangoon (called "fried crab meat cheese wonton" on their menu lol but it's the same). Everything was excellent - all the flavors you expect and very high quality. We got a "large" side of rice thinking it would be just enough for the three of us and it was massive - enough for more like 5 people I'd say lol. The only thing I didn't like as much was the honey walnut shrimp - the flavor was great but the breading was very thick - but my son loved it so it's more of a personal preference. Their menu is quite varied - they also have a lot of seafood boil options. I was really surprised how empty it was given how great the food was - but it was snowing outside and cold and kind of early in the evening for dinner so that's probably why. Their prices are reasonable and they have lots of parking available. All the staff were friendly and genuinely excited for us to try their food. It's obvious that the staff are a family and it's very sweet - felt like I was having dinner at a friend's house. They also have tons of TVs all around so you don't ever get bored or lonely. We had a great experience and will definitely be back anytime we visit the surrounding Seattle area.

Had this place in my list to try. For those that have been to Crab Pot, they have several seafood boil options in addition to other seafood items like fish and chips, fried softshell crab, fried oysters, etc. in addition to this, they also have Americanized Chinese food. Pretty interesting combination. The food was decent, but service was really good which pushed me to round this rating to 4 stars. As others have mentioned the gloves that are provided make it almost impossible to eat the seafood boil. I decided to just go bare handed and washed my hands afterwards. The seafood boil was more of a seafood mix with a sauce gravy. We picked the Ragin Cajun medium spice which wasn't too spicy at all. Good place to try if you're into seafood boils...plus other menu items that others guests can order if they're not seafood fans

Ask the Community - Crab Season

Are you open today?

Yes , we are open from 11 am to 9:30 pm

If I choose to just "steam", do seafoods literally comes out steamed without any seasoning? I don't like to add flavor or too much butter so prefer to have food as is.

Yes, we can do seafoods steamed and serve to the table , you still can choose one of the sauce come with it and request them on the side , that way the sauce will not mix with the seafood you choose !

Is it okay to bring my dog inside while I am there to place an order?

Yes if it is friendly

How many people does a "combo" feed?

About 2-4 depending on how much everyone can eat. If you are coming with a big group it's better to do build your own!

Can seafood boils be made without the sausage?

They actually have a build your own seafood boil option so you can choose the contents and sauce/flavoring. It's in a separate section from the combos online. On the image of the menu it's to the left of the combos.

Is dine in available?

Yes it is!

I was…read moreinitially a bit dubious of this place because their photos of their dishes looked a little _too_ picture perfect / social media ready, but Shaoshan Impression turned out to be one of the most authentic and delicious restaurants I've been to in the area so far. Our favorite had to be the duo jiao yu pian (two super tender, juicy white fish filets coated in two different sauces. One was pure spiced and the other had suan cai, a slightly funky and sour pickled veggie). We also loved the stir-fried eggplant and green beans, which was perfectly tender and intensely savory. It was great to have some veggies to break up the otherwise intensely protein-forward meal, and the veggies were all so well-prepared. Despite the menu saying the dish was spicy, I didn't find it spicy at all, so it was also a good break from the rest of the peppery dishes. We also had their stir-fried shrimp, which had an incredibly extravagant presentation, with mountains of red chili peppers and a burner to keep the dish warm throughout the meal, but I thought that the shrimp were a smidge overcooked and more salty than spicy. Nonetheless, the meal was delightful, and, even more importantly, it received the Asian parent stamp of approval! The service was also quite efficient and friendly. There was a kiosk near the front door to join the waitlist, but we ended up only having to wait ~5 minutes before being seated. We ordered off a QR code at the table, but the food all came out quickly and our server was incredibly attentive -- he preempted our every need and refilled water, brought new napkins, and cleared completed dishes almost the second we were ready.

The Bravern does have its own underground lot that the restaurant will validate parking for and I'd say you can definitely walk in on a weekday no problem. The restaurant did seem extremely short staffed with service being extremely slow. We ended up taking more than 2 hours for dinner just because the amount of time it took to place our orders and wait for our food. Overall, the menu is a mix of American style Chinese food and some more traditional dishes. Most of the dishes were made well advance, but you can really tell. The Peking duck was insanely dry and the braised pork belly also wasn't braised quite long enough. The sweet and sour chicken wasn't super crunchy, but the flavor was solid; though I will say, the blueberries were just warmed blueberries on the plate and didn't add anything. The mushroom truffle fried rice was pretty delicious though as was the complimentary soup with the restaurant week set. TLDR food is a bit expensive with some standouts, but generally slightly subpar. Service is insanely slow.

However, when both service and food exceed expectations, a restaurant becomes an industry benchmark. Service: The service here was truly, exceptionally outstanding. A friend brought me here today--he had only been to this restaurant once before--yet every single staff member remembered him, and even remembered what he had ordered last time! They were genuinely thrilled to see him return. The pacing of the dishes and the check-ins during the meal were both spot-on. Ambiance: A classic Cantonese restaurant atmosphere--full of character, dignified, and rich with Chinese design elements. The seating is comfortable, the restaurant is impeccably clean, and the management is clearly top-notch. Food: Great value for money, with very reasonable pricing. The fried rice was loaded with rich ingredients and seasoned to absolute perfection. The seafood tofu was mild in flavor and made with fresh ingredients--perfect for children. The green beans were fresh and had just the right level of spice. As one of China's Eight Great Culinary Traditions, Cantonese cuisine is defined by its freshness: fresh ingredients, vibrant flavors, and fresh execution. Preparing Cantonese food is far more trouble than people realize; because of the complex preparation, strict standards for ingredients, and a low yield rate, true quality is hard to achieve. Since this restaurant is run entirely by a team of Cantonese chefs, I believe it is ultimately their passion that drives their success.

I really liked the filling in the football, which contained ground pork and mushrooms, not so much the flour for the outer layer. I also liked the tripe, pea tips, and chicken feet. They were delectable. Other than that, it seemed a bit plain. I didn't really like the chili oil they used, it was more like a sambal. I'm glad we ended with the mango pudding for dessert. The mold for it was so cute. Hopefully next time I come here they change up the chili used.

I have to say that compared to the location in the U District, the Bellevue one feels a little bit like an afterthought. The setup is similar, in that you order and pay at a kiosk up front and seat yourself. Otherwise, it is more self-service. You get your own water and they do not come around to provide refills. The menu is mostly the same, with just some slight differences. They do not seem to have the rice noodle option here. I had the cumin lamb noodle soup, my dinner buddy had the hot oil noodles (no soup), and we had the wood ear mushroom salad and the broccoli salad to share. The salads were solid, nothing spectacular but nothing alarming. The noodles are of varying thickness, so there are some really nice chewy parts and some thin parts that go a bit mushy in the soup. The flavor is mostly consistent although I did feel like the cumin flavor was less apparent here. This location does not have the self serve condiments bar, and notably was quite cold, which frankly made the whole experience not that pleasant. I do like xi'an noodles but I will be sticking to the U District location from now on.
