Special B juicy sauce medium
Tammy L.

We went to King Crab for the seafood boil. I ordered a la carte: 1/2 lb head off shrimp, 1/2 lb crawfish, and a 1/2 lb of sausage. It comes with 2 potatoes and a 1/2 corn on the cob. I chose the juicy sauce at medium heat. My friend ordered the special B, which is a 1/2 lb each of shrimp, crab and crawfish with 2 potatoes and 1/2 corn on the cob. The service is great. They provide bibs and gloves which are absolutely necessary. It was a bit warm in the restaurant and I won't order the sausage again, it is not as fabulous as the shrimp, crawfish, crab and sides. The juicy sauce is sooo good. It has chunks of garlic in it. I love coating the food in the sauce for the incredible flavor. The bar has beer and wine. They provide a frosted glass and a lime with the modelo. This is a great restaurant. It feels like I went to the Bayou for a Cajun seafood boil. I will definitely be back.

Picked up a shrimp po boy with sweet potato fries to go because I had to have something from the South to celebrate Fat Tuesday. Service was very friendly and I appreciated they confirmed the right person was picking up the order. Restaurant wasn't too busy but then again it was almost 9 pm. Liked the casual vibe and saw lots of seating available for large groups. Sandwich was really good filled with an abundance of crispy shrimp, lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo. The bread was warm and toasty but not the French bread that I was used to when growing up on the MS Gulf Coast. Overall enjoyed the Sandwich and had to save half for the next day because the excellent fries filled me up. Generous serving of perfectly fried, not greasy sweet potatoes. I would definitely come back if in the Point Loma neighborhood to try some of their other menu items.

Went in for birthday dinner on a whim and we were happily surprised. Service was great and the food was superb! Started with oysters and bang bang shrimp.. oh the sauce on the shrimp!! Yummmm!! Ordered a modified boil that included king crab legs for an up charge. Well worth the extra cost! Might be the best crab the birthday boy has ever had. We got the mild boil and the most popular sauce because I am a whimp with spice. Delicious!! So glad we stopped in!! Coming from out of state, this was a happy surprise!

THE BEST. Y'all must come here! It is amazing and delicious! I do want to say the service is always outstanding and the food is so delicious! It's better priced than most restaurants doing crab boil and you do get a little more! Love coming here

Crab Legs
Eliko S.

The Setting: It's Friday night, and after some mild discussion, we decided to walk over to King Crab. We were seated immediately. No silverware, no problem.... Gloves and bibs on & the noshing commenced. Two large waters at the ready. Mini garbage can waiting for us to fill it with our discards. The Feast: Sausage & Snow Crab Legs - Juicy special Sauce - Medium Clams & Shrimp - juicy special Sauce - Medium We received two potatoes and two little pieces of (ears of) corn. (The potatoes & corn were delish!) The verdict: Everything was very good. The juicy special sauce is garlicky, oily, salty, and delicious. The service is attentive. The place is spacious & clean. It was messy eating, but it was kind of fun & very enjoyable. The menu features a number of seafood & land items you can order in your seafood boil, as well as fried items, appetizers, alcoholic & nonalcoholic (including Boba) drinks! There's plenty of parking in the ample lot. I recommend King Crab!

King Crab Extreme Combo Special

I came here last week with my family. We like coming here on special occasions because we love the service, quality of food and prices. This occasion was my dad's birthday, we were a party of 6 and this place is great since it's so spacious for bigger parties. For parties of 6 or more gratuity is included which is very normal and to be expected. I'm not sure if that's why our server decided to neglect us since her tip was already included, but we were disappointed in her. Food came out quick, food was great and flavorful, the cooks in the back did a great job. However our server, Maria, basically abandoned us once our food came out. Never checked on us, didn't fill out waters. We kept having to ask the other server for things, which they did tell her to check on us but, that shouldn't be their problem when we were her table. And probably her only table since it wasn't busy in there at all when we came. My husband and I used to be servers so we know how it is, and we would HAPPILY tip on top of gratuity if the service was amazing. She also never cleared our table or little trash cans when they got full. Not sure if she was distracted by the Mexico World Cup game, doesn't matter, we'll be sure to request a different server next time.

The service was ok. The atmosphere was very casual but the food was overpriced and underwhelming. There's not a whole lot to say other than I've been there once and that's enough as there are better places to spend your cash and calorie intake.

King Crab Jumbo Combo Special ($130)
KC C.

Decided to randomly stop by this spot and I am glad I did. It is a cute little place in a strip mall in Point Loma and conveniently located right off the I 8 exit. I ordered the King Crab Jumbo Combo for $130. It came with 1 lb snow crab legs, 1 lb crawfish, 2 lb shrimp (head off), 1 lb green mussels, 3 eggs, 6 corn, 6 potatoes, and half a pound of sausage. The menu says it feeds two to three people, but honestly it was more than enough for four to five. The portion was very generous. The flavoring was great. One thing to note though is that their "spicy" is more like a medium level spice. So even if you order spicy, expect something closer to mild to medium heat. Service was fine. Nothing spectacular but exactly what you would expect from a seafood boil place. You do most of the work cracking everything open while the staff keeps drinks and refills coming. Overall I would definitely come back if I am in the area again. I would also love to try their po boy next time.

King Crab Cajun Seafood downtown San Diego, CA Food: We ordered the lobster and shrimp boil which was really good... well delicious even! It was served hot and the seasoning was awesome. The Spicy Thai Wings were delicious, seasoned perfectly with the right amount of sauce. The Garlic bread was pretty good also, only wished it was grilled also. Service: Awesome service, friendly, and accommodating. The place was packed (mother's day) however service didn't suffer. This establishment ran like a well oiled machine! Ambiance: The restaurant was clean and well organized, I couldn't get enough of the shark on the wall... pretty cool.

My leftovers that I was gonna buy some seasoning from crab hut for but ended up just leaving it bc no just noo.

Quite literally one of the worst crab boil AND service experience I've ever had. Sean, my server, made my dining experience twice as long as it needed to be. First, he comes over within a minute of me sitting down and I say I need a few minutes to decide which he responds by not coming back for 10+ minutes! Then he takes my order and I get my food but then I have to wait for him to bring the utensils?! Then, I get the utensils and I'm eating and I'm real realizing this food sucks!! There's no seasoning, it's literally just a bag of seafood and oil smh. I tried to get his attention so I can get some salt and pepper and it took him over 15 minutes to come over to me?!!!!!!!! Whole time I'm waiting this dude is cleaning dirty tables that are empty!!!!!!!! Mind you, after it took him super long to come back the second time, I asked for a new server and instead of obliging management said he was new and that I should just stop anyone that's walking by and ask for what I need and then proceeded to just sent me over a drink from the bar that I didn't order?? Like thank you but fulfilling my request would've been apology enough!! The icing on the cake was when I did stop someone to get my to go boxes and instead of getting it for me, she went and told him and he came back over and asked me if that's what she said?!! Like whatttt???????????? The overall incompetence was quite infuriating and I would 100% recommend Crab Hut on Convoy over them!! I'm so mad I just wanted to try somewhere new smh Yoooo go read their other bad reviews!! "Management" only responds to threaten and belittle the complainants like they've never heard the word accountability before?! Bro yall suck as a business and should convert into a karaoke spot or something

Fantastic meal
John C.

Been here 2x and loved it both times. Service can sometimes be a little slow, but it's well worth it. I love the variety of sauces and the prices of the crab don't break the bank. Neither did the lobster tails. Looks like I have missed some photos that I forgot to upload. For sure will be back!

Seafood Boil
Lancy N.

The restaurant is HUGE. There is so many tables inside and the parking outside is ample. I got the gumbo and it was so perfectly seasoned with a good amount of spice. My party also ordered the peach smoothie and the brown sugar milk tea and both were solid. The sesame balls were also soft and sweet/savory. For the seafood boil itself, we got 1/2 a pound of both black and green mussels. A pound of snow crab, 2lbs of shrimps, a pound of sausage, and we had some corn/potatoes. We had it mixed with the juicy medium spice sauce which wasn't too bad. I could have gone for the spicier option but the seasoning was good! The service was top tier though. The boss of the restaurant was very welcoming upon entering. And from there the server that took care of us was so attentive and funny! I believe his name was Johnathan. He was attentive bringing us lemons and plates without us needing to ask and he made sure we were having a good time and we had everything we needed during our meal.

Delicious seafood boil and great service! Our party of 4 went on Monday night and were seated right away. Tony, the owner, made us feel welcome immediately and we even chatted for a bit. All the staff were very friendly and also prompt when we needed anything. There are a lot of different selections on the menu, we ordered 2 specials and 1 dozen oysters. When I tell you the oysters were super fresh and big, you have to order them if you love oysters. The seafood was very fresh, the shrimp was nice and plump as well. We ordered the medium spice level but it was quite spicy! In addition to the seafood, we also tried the chicken wings - they were juicy and crispy. Definitely recommend. There's also a full bar at the front of the restaurant in case you're looking for some refreshments. They're very generous with the margarita! They also serve boba and tea if that's more up your alley, which is as tasty as a the ones you get at the boba shop. Overall, highly recommend King Crab if you're in the area for some fresh seafood!

We were so glad to stumble upon this boba shop just steps from the trolley that we took exploring…read moreSan Diego. Their menu has a huge selection of teas, milk teas, smoothies, and other drinks, so narrowing it down to just one was definitely the hardest part. We ended up getting Mango, Taro and Ube Smoothies, and all were delicious. They were refreshing and exactly what we needed after spending a hot day walking around the city. In fact, we came back twice. It actually would've been three times if our first visit had worked out. We arrived before the posted closing time, but the employee told us they were already closed. Maybe the hours listed were incorrect, but it was a little confusing. Other than that small hiccup, we had a great experience. The drinks were consistently good, the location was convenient, and we'll definitely stop by again the next time we're in San Diego.

It's a good place to sit and talk. It was $16.17 for both drinks. Strawberry Yakult (3.5/5) - I got this with less ice and 75% sweetness. It had a tangy, slightly sour flavor because of the Yakult. The strawberry flavor isn't very strong. Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie (4.5/5) - I liked this one a lot more! The yogurt flavor wasn't too strong, and the strawberry flavor was nice. I liked how there was strawberry purée on the sides of the cup. I got crystal boba in both drinks. It was nice and chewy. I'd recommend this place.

This was 9/5/26 around 11:30/12pm. No hello when we stepped up to order, literally just staring at us. I assumed she was ready to take our order so I started ordering - but no acknowledgement, acted like we were a bother. My aunt ordered the Popeye smoothie which has like a bunch of greens and dates and peanut butter and as the cashier put it into the register she made a disgusted face. Excuse me? Do you not work here selling these products? Also, extremely rude. I raised my eyebrow at her and she saw that and looked away and then kept glancing at us as we waited for our smoothie which was odd. The other two working at this time seemed friendly, the one who ended up giving us our two smoothies smiled and said have a nice day. But this girl - gross. Would not recommend due to the service from this person who clearly needs more training - but yes, they had good smoothies.

AVOID!! I love…read moresupporting small businesses and really wanted to like this place so I can return and send others, BUT too many issues... 1) Employees aren't familiar nor clear with ingredients, which is problematic for a diabetic 2) Basic jasmine milk tea was just shy of $10 for a large, marketed as 32oz but was quite a bit short. See pic of my 32oz Hydro Flask (she did top it off after explaining that she knew the cups weren't a full 32 ounces -of course I had to question the size first). When I asked about it, the owner seemed to know that their cups are smaller than the advertised amount but because, according to her, that's how it was marketed to them by the supplier, they didn't change it. Again, this is problematic to me. If you know the supplier is short changing you, and my guess is because you went with the cheapest cup (which may also mean inferior plastic for unwitting consumers), why in the world wouldn't you remeasure and advertise it correctly??!!! You've lost my trust in exchange for a quick buck. I'd prefer honesty. 3) Worst offense... within 30 minutes of drinking, I started feeling unwell and getting bloated. Clearly indicates to me that they either didn't disclose some mysterious ingredient or there was a problem with their sanitation somewhere -unfortunately I didn't watch her make it. Prior to this happening and me now stuck on the couch in pain, I was going to give them an extra star for quick service. It's a little shop in a small strip mall, clean enough in the table areas but unsure about the back. I didn't check reviews before walking in because somebody nearby had recommended it to me -a stranger, and I figured how bad can a boba shop be, obviously MY mistake. Gotta check YELP before I go anywhere. Had I read previous reviews, especially the one star recently about using chemicals in the same sink they make drinks from with TAP water, I would have never entered. On top of this, the taste was one of the worst milk teas I've ever had. Tasted like milk powder than real milk. AVOID!!

Gelato or Boba Ice Tea? Well, the overcast weather sure doesn't call for a brain freeze, and I…read morecould use some thirst quenching. A Thai Milk Tea with 50% sweetness should do the trick. The racks of yummy-lookin' Mochi Donuts was so inviting too but I had to say no because they're not gluten-free, so my restraint was justified. I have been to Boba shops before where the percentage of ice fills close to, if not half the cup. Gelabong took it upon themselves to fill mine with about 25%, maybe even a tad less without me requesting lite ice. This means I have more tea to enjoy without too much dilution. The place looks clean, smells subtly delicious and they have an instagramable white bench in front of a gray leafy wall outside. Lots of drinks to choose from. Dalgona world be one I would try next time.
