Ate here with my parents because mom wanted some LOBSTER!!! lol we ordered lobster and shrimp and some sides and it was good! The service was nice to their customers and were very helpful on what to try out on the menu. The ambiance here was quite nice. Was very spacious and I feel like it would be a great place to hangout with friends and family after a long day of work. Would definitely recommend this place to all Seafood Lovers! read more

We got the family pack of the seafood boil and it was huge enough to feed 4 adults if you add two sides of rice and a Cajun fries basket. For the price of food and the amount you get, I can't complain! The flavor of their own seafood boil sauce (boom sauce?) is a standard seafood boil flavor, it's legit. The flavors don't overwhelm you and make you wanna go to the toilet right away, you know what I mean? The family pack comes with 3 corn on the cob, 3 sausage pieces and 3 potatoes (like a medium sized potato!) it was good but I wish the seafood had time to sit in the sauce, you can tell the food was dumped on the sauce. We had to fight to scoop some sauce onto our mussels cause the bag was so full of food- what a good problem to have. Maybe the sauce is a bit thin? Maybe that's why it didn't stick to the food? Service was good, the ladies were attentive and professional. The decor looked like this place was known to be a bar- I mean there's a huge bar to the side. There's even a second floor but no one was seated there so it doesn't look used. Cute decor with the sea theme. Not happy about their toilet in the women's restroom. There's a a sign saying to please not dispose the toilet seat covers in the toilet cause it could clog it up. I was being a nice person and went to the trouble of respecting their wishes. It was gross as I was being careful not to touch the peed parts of the toilet seat cover. Don't judge me, only God can judge me! Come here to feed your family and friends at a very reasonable price! And if you're a lady you're gonna have to hover while you pee if you don't want to deal with the toilet seat cover disposal issue... read more

We saw a TikTok of this place and wanted to try. I love seafood boil and a a little skeptical because this place is located right across the street from Boiling Crab. But it was definitely gives BC a run for their money. Food: 5/5 We ordered the family pack with the crab legs. It was $53.99 for one pound of shrimp, one pound of mussels, and two cluster of crab legs. It includes sausages, hard boiled eggs, and corn. We got their Cajun mix, and the flavor was really good. My only critic is that the flavor did not permeate into the shrimp. I also think the sauce was not garlicky enough. But overall, it was really good. Service: 5/5 The service here was great. I feel a little bad because the we went on a Sunday night and it was pretty dead. Since we were one of three tables, our servers were really attentive. The seafood boil also came out pretty quick. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is way better than Boiling Crab in my opinion because there's no tremendous wait. The interior is nicely decorated. And seating was spacious. One thing to look out for here is that their receipts when it adds "suggested tip", they put calculate tip after tax. I did not appreciate that. read more

Jumpin' Lobster was a good deal for $12.99 a lb! Came with a corn and a potato! Both were really good! Not mushy. We enjoyed the salt and pepper crab too. The place was not too busy so it was a good place to hang and catch up. Shrimp was big and fresh! Large open space and attentive service. Will definitely be back! read more

I'm a big fan of seafood served straight from the bag on the table, so I was excited to try this place when it opened. We were seated immediately upon arrival. The food tasted good--we ordered the prawns with lemon pepper sauce, which were flavorful, though a bit more sauce would have made the dish even better. Parking is conveniently available within the plaza. read more

We went on a Saturday afternoon. Plentiful parking, no wait, but a few other tables seated inside along with us. Space was decorated and clean. We ordered the shrimp and crawfish boil with mild boom sauce. Food came out hot, and the seafood was tasty and the meat bouncy and fresh. Prices are a lot more affordable than other cajun places, but I will say the sauce wasn't as good in comparison. Servers were friendly and attentive. read more

Jumpin’ Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Get the family pack $43.99 as it's probably the best value. Also while it's the grand opening time you get corn and sausage in your family pack as part of your meal. As for service they need to up itself there. We had to constantly ask for water and soda refills which is quite annoying. If they see that a cup is low of fluids they should one around and refill it or at least check on us. The place is fairly big for many groups of eight. Great for large parties to enjoy family style food. They do have a TV and we're showing something music related. As for parking it's a fairly large parking lot so plenty of room. You get a bib, gloves, crab cracker as the crabs are not pre broken for you and scissors to get to all the nooks and crannies. Come check them out! read more

We were craving for the Louisiana or Cajun food for Father's Day, so we tried the new place, Jumpin' Lobster, for the first time. We went to the one in Monterey Park, and they are relatively new, just opened a few months ago. It's located at a plaza on South Atlantic Blvd. They also have other locations in Alhambra (opened about a month ago) and Huntington Park. We were surprised that it was not crowded on Father's Day, maybe because of the location. It's pretty big inside, and the decor and atmosphere are welcoming. We were greeted by the ladies when we entered the restaurant. The food is very similar to Boiling Crab, but the price is more reasonable, and we don't need to wait for hours to be seated. We ordered the following: - Lobster Roll with seasoned fries ($27.99) - A Family Pack ($43.99) that you can choose 3 items: (Shrimp, Squid, Crawfish, Clam, Mussel, Blue Crab, Fried Tilapia, Snow Crab legs ($10 extra, max 1 lb) We picked Blue Crab, Mussel, and Fried Tilapia, and it was also served with 3 corns & 3 potatoes. - Butterfly Shrimp Basket with fries ($10.99), we picked sweet potato fries (for an extra $1) We all liked the ambiance and the ocean-themed decorations, and they also have TVs that we could watch the basketball games on. They also gave each of us a cute disposable Crab bib and gloves. The lobster roll - it had a lot of lobster meat with mayo spread on the brioche bun, and the lobster was delicious, but it had too much mayo. For the seasoned fries (we picked Cajun flavored), but it was lack of the Cajun flavor, so it wasn't spicy. (But it was good for me coz I cannot eat too spicy) The portion was good, though. For the Butterfly Shrimp Basket with Sweet potato fries, they gave us a lot of fried shrimp, and they were pretty good. We liked the sweet potato fries more than the Cajun flavored fries. Blue Crab, Mussel, and Fried Tilapia Family Pack Seafood Boil - It was about 3 lbs of seafood (each item about a pound), so it was enough for us, and we chose the Garlic Butter sauce. The corn was sweet and delicious with buttery garlic! 3 Potatoes were included, but they were pretty big. I wish the potatoes were smaller because they were a bit hard to eat. I had to cut them in half. Blue Crab was also fresh and good (I don't eat crab, but my family liked it). We asked for the crab claw crackers; however, they did not have much meat. The mussels and fried tilapia were very delicious, and my girls had a lot of fried tilapia, and it was a big fish. The service was attentive and great. We enjoyed our meal, and we may try the lobster pasta and other dishes next time. read more

This location has been our favorite since day one but as time has passed we have noticed changes In our last 3 visits. One day we went and they brought our boil in a plate vs the bag we were wondering why but we didn't say anything. I felt like it took away the fun out of the whole bag thing. These last 2 visits we noticed they give you very little sauce almost nothing in the bag. We have to order a side of sauce which they charge you $5. The bag we usually order is the family pack so it's fairly full of whatever we pick but with very little sauce. It is very disappointing. The service is not as it was before either. It's not horrible but it's not as attentive. :( read more

A strip mall casual food place is a dime a dozen. This place isn't really anything special, unfortunately. I ordered an iced green tea which they didn't have. I've had many places simply put hot green tea into ice. It's a quick solution but that's asking too much here. The lobster roll was nearly burned on the top which shouldn't be grilled and not enough on the sides where it is supposed to be grilled. The lobster filling was very flavorful and the lobster was nice and firm with a very fresh taste and gel to it. The sweet potato fries were undercooked and need something that isn't ranch. read more

I've visited Jumpin Lobster a couple times, and my family LOVES it! We always try different things on the menu so here are some notable items I really enjoyed: Lobster Pasta: I was blown away by this creamy pasta with fresh lobster! They give you large pieces of lobster that are steamed to perfection. The sauce for the noodles was extraordinary! 10/10 definitely my favorite item on the menu. Garlic Bread: buttery and savory. Crispy crust with a pillowy soft center. Goes so well as a side order. 10/10 Lobster Roll: Fresh lobster in a cream sauce spread on a buttered brioche bun. It comes with fries, but I do have to admit that the fries lacked a lot of seasoning and flavor. The cream sauce coating the lobster didn't stand out to me. However, for the price, the portion was definitely worth it! 7.5/10 Shrimp, Squid, & Snow Crab Legs Family Pack Seafood Boil with Garlic Butter: Enough to feed 2-3 people! I added sausage to my bag. I wish they used smaller potatoes as it was very large and hard to eat without cutting. The sauce was very buttery and flavorful! I loved how fresh the shrimp, crab legs, and squid were. Corn was sweet and sausage was very tasty. 8/10!! BBQ & Buffalo Wings: Also a very nice side item to enjoy! You can ask for ranch on the side too! 9/10 Veggie Noodle: savory and smooth vegetable noodles for only $6.99! Huge portion and was well seasoned! Definitely a nice dish to add in the case you are still feeling hungry or need some light carbs! 10/10!! Service is always top tier and the staff are always checking in to ensure that we are satisfied with the food. There's a lot of seating inside, and the decorations are so cute (sea life themed). I also appreciate how you can watch sports on their TVs inside (especially during playoff season!). Free parking in the parking lot. Overall, really enjoyed this place! My family and I will probably visit at least once a month! read more

Overall, such a solid experience. I would definitely recommend this spot and will be returning! read more

This place was very lackluster and not worth it. Ordered their lobster roll and 1lbs of shrimp in the boom sauce. The lobster roll didn't tasted good and had a weird flavor to it. The boom sauce wasn't flavorful either. Service was okay. It was pretty empty when we arrived. They're located inside the shopping plaza across from ELAC off Atlantic Blvd. read more

Their service was top notch! I had a chance to go in when they first opened. It seemed clean and everyone was friendly. I enjoyed their white rice when I ordered a chicken plate. Who orders a non-seafood plate? I'm sure I'm not the only one. They also refilled the water cups which was great in my eyes! I want to try their sushi items next time i go! read more

Wanted to try bag o crab but there was a hour long wait so this place showed up nearby within a 8-10 min drive. Seems like it is grand opening but not sure how long this restaurant has been open. Sat down and scanned the menu and placed the order through the QR code. Other tables got their menu fast but guess they forgot about us. The server was nice and came to apologize. Ordered the family feast with clams, shrimp, and crawfish with mild Cajun sauce. still did not feel full so placed another order of a pound of clams with mild Cajun sauce. I hate writing less than 3 star reviews. There was nothing wrong with the service but I think something must have not been fresh in the food because I ended up with a really bad stomachache and diarrhea after leaving the restaurant. No joke I was going in and out of the restroom for 1-2 hours straight. Not sure what happened maybe I have a sensitive stomach but due to this incident honestly not sure if I would be back again. read more

Let me start off by saying this place deserves a 5 star. I definitely would recommend it. As soon as we walked in we were greeted immediately and they allowed us to sit wherever we wanted. I got seafood and my boyfriend got wings. I got the boom medium shrimp and let me just say the flavor was amazing. If you get medium just know it has a kick to it. My boyfriend received his wings and they were all flats!! The server was so sweet and very attentive to our needs. The atmosphere was very chill and quiet. Went on a friday night. read more

Wow! I went on a Sunday late morning right at opening. First off, easy parking because this place is located in an outside strip mall. Walking up the store front is at the corner and was way to find. First impression walking in was clean! We were greeted by the kindest server Annie! She was the sole reason why we had a great experience and not just a very good one. She greeted us in and allowed us to find our own table, because I think we were the only ones there, Lul! Looked at the menu and we decided to get the Family Pack. At first I thought it was expensive, but I'll gave it a shot. Got the family pack, original Cajun, mild heat. And a side of garlic bread. OMG!! It was totally delicious! We couldn't finish it all off! The blue crab, tilapia, and squid that was in our boil was amazingly tasty with that sauce!! I personally would have probably gotten the spicier option because I do like the bite, but what we had was just right :) Annie was fantastic at our service. She came by multiple times to check up on us and was quite attentive! Thank You Annie! Will, I go again.., that is a definite YES! read more

Overall, good food and service for a relatively new restaurant. This place is similar to Boiling Crab. We didn't get the seafood boil this time around, but we will try it next time. Our order: Lobster pasta Lobster roll (comes with cajun fries) Fried tilapia (comes with rice and boiled vegetables) Salt and pepper crab I would pass on the salt and pepper crab next time. There was hardly enough meat for the amount of work needed to break the shells. Lobster pasta was decent, but don't expect it to be amazing. We liked it enough. We would have preferred the lobster noodles, but the server said they didn't have that available. (Even though it was on their menu). The lobster noodle, based on the picture, reminded us of Boston Lobster - garlic noodles + lobster pieces. Hopefully they have it available next time. Lobster roll was decent. Good amount of lobster. Bread was toasted and buttery. I would order this again. Tilapia was mainly for the baby. It was fried well. Came with boiled vegetables, which was a nice touch. Appreciated the side of healthiness. Service was quick. Downside is that they have pepsi for the fountain drink machine. But they do have Mexican coke and Sprite available, along with Mexican sodas and beer. read more

Great ambiance with all the ocean sea decorations. Put us in the mood for some delicious seafood. Food was delicious, I came twice already. Seafood were delicious and fresh, prices are about the same as any other Boiling Crab type of place except you don't have to wait an hour to be seated and the food is just as good. Great services, the waitresses are always smiling and checked up on us several times and made sure our drinks are always filled. I think it's a mama papa place which I highly support.

Perhaps the worst lobster roll we have ever had. Overcooked meat and miniscule pieces of lobster made this barely edible. The seasoning was bizarre. It was supposed to be Cajun inspired but it wasn't. We order oysters everywhere we go that offers them. Again these were worst we had ever had. Not only was the taste off, but the sauces that were served with it were completely wrong. Who in the hell gives you Tapatio hot sauce instead of Tabasco, mignonette sauce or fresh horseradish? They also give you their special sauce but there wasn't anything special about it. Even the French Fries were boring. We ordered both the regular fries and Cajun ones and both were bland and not worth the time to eat them. Everything was also overpriced. This place was the biggest waste of money we ever have experienced. One star is one star too many. read more

Jumpin’ Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Okay so I was craving a lobster roll and these guys opened up right down the street from me. The spot looks like a typical food boil place but they were pretty empty. There was maybe one table where people were eating. Once I seen this I was a little scared. The spot was clean though. The workers were very sweet and attentive. It was actually a decent price. I placed my order for a lobster roll to go because I literally live 1 minute away. If I did not I would never get seafood to go because once it gets cold, warming it back up just doesn't taste the same for me. The food was done pretty quick and I got some fries with it because it came with a side which is surprising. Most places you have to pay for the roll and extra for any sides. The roll was actually good as hell. I was surprised tbh. The bread alone was great and the lobster was actually very flavorful and soft. Not to mention they load that bad boy. Whatever sauce they use for the lobster roll is chef's kiss. The only thing I disliked was that the lobster wasn't hot. It was more warm/room temp almost. The flavor made up for it but they should really work on that. If it was nice and hot it would've been perfect, but I wasn't going to take off a star just for that. The fries I did not care about and don't really remember how they tasted because the roll was the star of the show. I'll go back again whenever I am craving a lobster roll. read more

After being told the wait at The Boiling Crab would be two hours, I decided to walk across and give Jumpin Lobster a shot -- and I'm so glad I did! From the moment we sat down, the experience was on point. Our waiter walked us through the menu, gave great recommendations, and made us feel completely taken care of. The food came out in about ten minutes (yes, ten!), and the staff stayed attentive the entire time -- refilling drinks, bringing extra napkins and lemons, and checking in without being overbearing. Now let's talk flavor. We ordered the "The Bomb" seasoning, and I kid you not -- it was spot on. Perfectly balanced, not overpowering, and not drowning in butter like I've experienced elsewhere. The shrimp tasted incredibly fresh, and the lobster had a thick, meaty tail that did not disappoint. You can truly taste the quality. And the price? I was honestly amazed at how affordable it was for the amount and quality of food we received. If you don't want to wait two hours for seafood, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. You just might find your new go-to spot -- I know I did! read more

Food is amazing! Such a great price for the family pack $44.95 for 3 pounds of fish of your own choice (also in bag is potato, corn, hard boiled egg, and sausage). They offer peeled and beheaded shrimp so it makes it easier to peel. They also offer other food if seafood boil isn't your vibe. I've so far have ordered the egg roles and cajun fries (some of the best fries I've had honestly). The waitress Emily is so sweet and gives off the best vibes! Great music is always playing. I've never had an issue getting a table. Food also comes out super quick! Truly such a great place to eat and hang out at. I plan going here for years to come! Can't wait to go back next week. read more

5 stars because I really want them to succeed so I don't have to deal with the long lines at boiling crab! I've waited so long for them to finally open now I want them to stay for a very long time! But in all fairness, with the level of service we received, they deserve all the love and support! Vibes were also on point! We were able to choose our table tonight and I wanted to sit right in front of the fire place! Great vibes with Bruno Mars playing in the BG! They only recently opened, and they are happy to receive any critiques or recommendations! They want you to enjoy your meal so if you are not fully satisfied, DO let them know how they can make it better! Seafood boil comes in 3 sauces: Cajun, garlic butter, or mala. Cajun seasoning is the closest thing you'll get to Boiling crab shebang sauce. It includes Cajun, butter, and garlic. However, our bag did not have nearly enough garlic. It's also not overly saucy but you do still get a ton of flavor just don't expect to be able to drown your seafood into the sauce. The shrimp was about 12-15 size? Very hefty pieces! But I did struggle to peel a few. Luckily BF is too lazy to peel and would happily eat the shrimp with shell on lol. Lobster roll. It actually looked smaller than I expected but had more meat than I expected lol. However, it's not just tail and claw meat. The meat on our roll was like every nook and cranny of an entire lobster. I even got the soft internal shell in one bite. Not that I mind, I like that the restaurant is using every bit of the creature and not let it go to waste. The bread was comparable to 2 Hawaiian rolls, cuz it was sweet bread. Lobster also had a sweet sauce, almost like they might have added sweet condensed milk? Not sure but I did inform the waitress that the lobster roll was oddly sweet and not too my preference. Fries on the other hand were well fried and nicely seasoned. Blue cheese or ranch dips available but we didn't need it. Can't wait for my mom to get well so I can bring her here for some lobster noods!! She loves lobster and I think she'll really enjoy this place too! read more

The only good thing this restaurant has is the attentive server, that came by 3-4 times to check if we need anything. GF order 1 pound of crawfish with mala and super spicy. The spicy level didn't even tingle her tongue. Crawfish was not fresh and had weird taste. And i ordered 1 pound of shrimp with Cajun flavor which has lemon pepper and garlic butter. The shrimp was cooked okay, but there was barely and sauce and couple pieces of mince garlic. Sauce tasted like water down tapitio and little bit of seasoning. Worst tasting seafood boil sauce I have ever tasted. Cajun fires were meh. Best thing was the corn! Funny thing is user with no reviews sent me a massage about my review, i tried supporting local business but if their food sucks ass I'm going to leave a review about it! And yes I finished the boil because I don't like to waste food, Michelle R.!! read more

Jumpin’ Lobster - Cajun flavor, Barely any sauce, garlic and seasoning. - Seafood Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Let me start with saying, I love lobster. I have been waiting for this place to open, and boy was it worth the wait! We arrived in the 5 o'clock hour for dinner and we could pick our seat. They had a variety of bottled beers to choose from like Modelo and Saporro, and I went with Tsingtao. The beers were reasonably priced too. Ok food! We certainly ordered too much food, but no regrets! My husband and I both ordered lobster rolls. Since we like to eat and thought they might be on the smaller side (we were WRONG), we also ordered shrimp fried rice. The fried rice came out first and the shrimp was so fresh tasting and you could certainly tell it wasn't previously frozen (no rubbery texture at all). Now the lobster rolls. The roll was so meaty and fresh, with a yummy sauce on top. The bread was so soft too! I thought I could use my hands to eat it but eventually gave up and used the fork because it was so much meat. The lobster roll came with fries too, which we probably should have asked and it was a generous portion for both of us. That was the best dinner ever!! The service was great and all the staff were so nice and checked on us regularly. I look forward to trying more things soon as I will definitely be back. There is plenty of seating and looks good for groups. I know where I want my next birthday dinner now, but I'll definitely be back before then. read more
