    Combo #2
    Selina H.

    The seafood boil here is delicious! I got the combo #2 which came with shrimp, mussels, corn, potatoes. Highly recommend the house sauce! It was garlicky and so flavorful. The fried oysters were on the tinier side but still pretty tasty. The portions were generous and the seafood didn't taste old. The servers are very friendly! They checked in on us often and was also the one to recommend the house sauce :) Overall a solid place to go for seafood boil

    This place have been on my list for a while, but the hours never seem to fit with my timing. We finally had a chance to check this place out and it didn't disappoint. We came during lunch time and it was pretty empty. One of the critique for me is the strong incense smell they going. It's pretty strong and it's bothersome until the food comes out. The lady who helped us was pretty nice. She offered to give us more lime and sauces when we were running low on it. Food wise: Combo 2: shrimp and mussels. We had the option to choosing headless or head-on. The vag also came with 2 pieces of corn and 2 potatoes. The seafood was plump and juicy. The sauce was to die for. I wish they gave us at least one more potato and corn though. We also got a piece of garlic bread - pretty eh. We ordered the garlic noodle kids meal for our little ones as to -go and the portion was very generous. For $9, you get a hefty amount of noodles and fries and a drink. The noodles were good and the fries were fresh. I love that they were cautious with our it was packed as well. We even took home some leftover sauce because it was Soo yummy. Prices were pretty reasonable for what you get Overall, definitely one of the best seafood boil I been to and will definitely be back.

    We had a great meal at Crawfish Chef. We ordered Combo #7 and it was so yummy! The house sauce was a highlight- mild had just the right level of spice- at least for me, and was full of flavor, and the extra spicy on the side was also really good. Everything tasted fresh, especially the Dungeness crab, which was clean and well-prepared. For kids, the menu options were a bit limited for our taste, so we went with shrimp fried rice instead--and it turned out to be really good as well. The service was great, and the ambiance was okay. So far, this is the best seafood combo spot!

    My No.1 go-to Cajun seafood place in Bellevue. I like super spicy, so I always order their off menu 25 spicy level. They also have choices of fried chicken wings, fried rice. Recommend not frozen crawfish, shrimp, crabs. I like the house source best. recommend sweet potato fries Their service is great, parking is convenient and free.

    My family and I LOVE this place. We've been coming for over a year, and this is our favorite go-to place for seafood boils. I highly recommend the house sauce, mild or medium spice. Their seafood is always fresh, and it never disappoints. The place is nice and roomy, not stuffy or smelly. The staff has always been super friendly and attentive to our needs. We've been to a LOT of seafood boil places around the Seattle area, and this is definitely the top spot. The service and, more importantly stuff.....the food is consistent every time. If you plan to come during dinner time midweek or the weekend, call in advance. I believe they take reservations, so it's best to prepare yourselves. We've been there before when the wait was over two hours long.

    Combo 1 mild
    Nin A.

    This was such a great night for me, ate out with one of my good friend who is also a seafood boil lover! Lol so I practically came with an expert, she got the combo 2 medium spice and the service was super quick and I was very much surprised by that I mean we walked in got sat and got a couple min to look at the menu then boom they get your order and I would say it took less than 10 min for our food to come out! Seriously our server was the sweetest and she was very helpful and always checked if we were ok. The ambiance of the place is actually big when you look from the outside your not expecting much but to my surprise it's the opposite. Great place, good price, and great service!

    Definitely a fun experience! I would rate this a 3.5/5 I've done seafood boils before (the crab pot) but it had been a while and we wanted to try again! I split the combo #9 with four people and it was a pretty good amount of food, but we were still able to go out and get a dessert after so it wasn't overly filling. I'll start by saying that a lot of waste is produced here. Almost every item is single use (cups, table cloth, bibs, paper plates, plastic ramekins, paper side holder). I totally get that items covered in butter are hard to clean but it is unfortunate that mostly everything touched by a customer gets thrown away. For the food, we did the combo 9 with mild Cajun seasoning. The spice level was true to mild with almost no spice at all. The food itself was just okay to me. It didn't have too much flavor and I wasn't a huge fan of the way the clams tasted and I usually enjoy clams. My favorites in the combo were probably the crab, shrimp, potatoes, and mussels. The rest was again, just alright. In the combo 9, be aware that most of the portion is crawfish, so if you don't like them I wouldn't recommend that specific combo. The food also got cold extremely fast, like within 5 minutes of it hitting the table. I don't think that's the restaurant's fault but just something to be aware of. For the service, it was also just okay. Our waitress took our order and came back twice to ask how we were doing and if we wanted water. They don't serve utensils other than scissors with the meal so make sure to ask if you need them. They gave us paper boats with limes and plastic ramekins with a pinch of seasoning in each of them but they didn't explain to us what was going on with the ramekins so I felt like we missed out on whatever that was supposed to be. None of us had been since we were kids so we felt very new to the experience, so I would recommend either asking lots of questions or going to a place that will explain everything to you if you have never been before. Overall it was a fine experience. Fun to do it at least once but I wish there had been a little more excitement to the meal. One thing I appreciate at the crab pot is it feels a lot more like a whole experience rather than just food.

    Came across this seafood boil after watch a TikTok on it and was named one of the top 5 in Seattle. Ordered Combo C and swapped the shrimps with mussels with butter garlic sauce. The sauce was delicious and it paired well with my side ordered garlic bread. Since it did not come with sausages, I added one for $6. The seafood came out quick, hot, fresh and delicious. Definitely return! The half dozen oysters tasted fries but pricy at $30. The garlic noodle was tasty as well but wish it was more saucy. The service was fast and friendly. Plenty of storefront parking, The dining area was clean and bright. Love their big televisions showing Asian culinary shows.

    1lb crawfish, mild house sauce
    Raisa G.

    Moved to WA from Houston and it has been 6 years since I had crawfish. A friend recommended this place and it did not disappoint. Since it was my first seafood boil place here, I do not have any price comparisons. The sauces are very on par for Asian style crawfish and was delicious! It did come with potato and corn. Not sure if it's fresh or frozen crawfish, but they were a good size. Couldn't get much meat out of the claws though. Also noted that a lot of the other patrons were Asian so that spoke to its authenticity. My hubs got the soft shell crab and fries and it was delicious too.

    Tiffany T.

    Everything about the experience was a 10/10! The food is a bit pricey compared to some other places but the size of the shrimp and crab leg makes up for it. You're definitely getting what you paid for. The seasoning was a good combination of flavors and the crab legs and shrimp we got were sweet and cooked well. The servers were kind and attentive. I liked that they give you scissors because sometimes you need a good pair but you can also ask for the typical cracker. The place is well lit, clean, and simply decorated with lots of TVs. If you're in the area and want some seafood boil, I would recommend giving it a try!

    It was busy when I visited and I can see why. The seasoning for the seafood boil is flavorful and the seafood tastes fresh; no freezer taste or scent at all. They offer a variety of combinations with different types of shellfish. The servers were great. There were only three of them but they were attentive and checked on us frequently, even when the restaurant is busy and packed with customers.

    Shrimp, calms and crawfish
    Samantha D.

    The service was great. The food was amazing. I got a lb of shrimp, crawfish and clams with their recommended sauce and chose "hot". It was so delicious and killed it by myself (don't judge me ). The sauce and spice level was on point. try. Btw the shrimp, crawfish and calms were huge and meaty. Perfectly cooked.

    Crawfish, shrimp, and sausage
    Souporn H.

    Was very confused as to why there was no line when they opened! Everyone was sweet and helpful. I happened to see that they had a lot of take out placed within the hour we were there. The seafood was great! It hit all the right spots. I left with a belly full.

    Dungeness crab, clams, scallops, crawfish, potatoes and corn in house sauce.

    Is there an option to not get the seafood in a plastic bag that looks like the plastic particles are melted into the food?

    Is the crawfish live or frozen before cooking?

Our order included…read moreMongolian chicken, Mongolian beef (accidentally ordered instead of Szechuan beef), and honey walnut prawns. We made rice at home and the portions were perfect to feed four people comfortably. The pricing felt like a good value, especially for DoorDash--$14.99 for the chicken, $16.99 for the beef, and $17.99 for the prawns. Portions were generous and everything was well-seasoned and properly cooked--nothing dry or chewy. The honey walnut prawns were crispy with a nice light breading, though the walnuts were a bit underwhelming and had gone slightly soggy, likely from not being toasted enough. Pickup was smooth and right on time, the food was packaged carefully, and the front desk staff were friendly and efficient. Overall, everything was solid and we'd absolutely order from here again. If you're craving Chinese, skip Panda Express and give Crab Season your business instead! Equivalent if not better value, and hometown style service. We really liked it

The signage is hidden, but you'll spot it if you walk around 106th Street, like I did, to see the lunch menu. I visited Superkim Crab House on a Sunday afternoon earlier this month. Upon walking in, there weren't a lot of diners, but at most, two tables total about 12 people within the two tables. We were greeted by Zack, who allowed us to pick where to sit. He was a very welcoming and kind server. Zack allowed us to look at the menu but provided us with some of his favorite dishes to help us narrow down what we wanted to dine on. He mentioned the clam chowder and crab croquettes as being a few of his favorite dishes, and we were very intrigued by them, so we ordered them to start with. We were not disappointed with either of the items! The crab croquette and clam chowder were so flavorful, and the crab croquette was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. For drinks, we decided to order from the mocktails menu: Lychee Lemonade, which had a strong taste of the cucumber, was an okay drink, but if you love cucumbers, you'll like it; Prickly Mint, was more my liking, as it had more of the fruity cranberry taste; and then the Mango Spritz, which my friend wasn't a big fan of the taste. In terms of food, we were thinking about the boil, but in the end, we decided on two entree dishes: The Holy Crab and the Dungeness Crab Fried Rice. The menu clearly shows three pepper icons next to The Holy Crab, and they were not kidding about the spice! It was spicy! The spiciness gradually kicked in after consuming it, but don't get me wrong, it was still a delicious dish! The Crab Fried Rice was also very flavorful, and we used that to cool down our palettes after a spoonful of The Holy Crab. The restaurant's atmosphere was pleasant. It wasn't too loud or quiet, and ample space between the tables. The bathrooms were interesting. I believe they kept the Lot No.3 bathroom layout with the industrial look, and there were gender-neutral individual bathroom stalls. There are two levels for seating, so if you choose to, you can also sit upstairs for a more private dining experience. Within about 10 minutes of us being seated at our table, Mr. Kim, the head chef, came to visit and chatted with us for a bit. He was very kind and welcoming, ensuring we enjoyed our time at his restaurant. Overall, our experience dining at Superkim Crab House was superb! Everything was terrific in terms of service and hospitality. We interacted with the great waitstaff, including Zach and Trish, who made us feel like we were chatting with friends. The food was delicious, but the price was somewhat on the high side for the portion size. However, the quality of the food was worth it. We heard that their Happy Hour menu is a good value, so I will try it out when it is available, M - F, 3PM - 6PM. TL:DR Get the crab croquette and clam chowder for sure! The Holy Crab is a very spicy dish, so get it if you like a lot of spice! The staff is friendly and helpful! Happy Hour is M - F, 3PM - 6PM. Parking in the parking garage is free for now, while construction is being done in the area.

The area may not be the best to be alone at night, but if you can brave the place, you can get anything you want from pho to seafood boils. We've come here a few times with family. The pho is a specialty because it comes out in a big stone bowl where you add the ingredients yourself so it is nice and piping hot, which my family enjoys. There are seafood boils and the combos usually come with a side (we usually choose sweet potato or curly fries) which is a nice touch and it is reasonably priced and decently tasty. We've tried some of the other things like escargot on the menu (they were too chewy but the salted egg yolk flavor was different) and they had a famous beef hotpot that I was honestly very disappointed in (it was very pricey for a small portion of noodles/beef/etc and did not feed as many people as it proclaimed). I would stick to the regular things on the menu here. Service can be a bit spotty again, because they are so busy.
