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!

Crab Legs

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!

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

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 Extreme Combo Special
Brittany A.

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.

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!

I found out about Bành Mì Hôi An and today we chiseled out time to stop in for a late lunch. They are located on Rosecrans next to the retro Loma theatre which is now Barnes and Noble. This sweet restaurant has a lovely patio outside but we chose to dine in. The staff are really great! In a few minutes we had a sirloin pho, a pork belly bánh mì and a shared plate of pork egg rolls. Everything was so fresh and delicious. I love my French bread crunchy but not so french as to be pulling out my teeth or hard to handle. It was just perfect! The menu is so brilliant that I wanted to try a whole lot of things. San Diego is now a congested place which does not resemble the slow rolling California gem I knew in the 80s, or even 15 years ago. This lovely experience got me out of my "tired of merging on all these crowded freeways" in to a "peaceful, easy feeling". If we are in San Diego again we plan to stop in for sure.

It was in a tiny little outlet mall with a few other stories nearby. I have ordered mochinut donuts from a bunch of other places before, including the namesake Mochinut. Out of all of them, this store was my favorite. The staff was quite patient and welcoming. I actually wasn't sure how hungry I'd be, so when I finished the first combo and wanted more, they were accommodating to my next order. I got the drink combo with the 2 mochinuts. The flavors are varied but true to taste. I ordered the mango and the little freeze-dried piece on top was a nice addition. The surprise was that the leftovers were still fresh and doughy enough the next day without having lost their taste. The drink was good as well. It was light enough with the right fruit flavor. The sugar was just the right amount without being too sticky or inducing even more thirst. The waiting area is nice and quiet as well. I think was more of a waiting station than a true dining area. But the wooden benches are a nice touch. I would definitely come back as long as I'm close enough to the area and need a quick bite or dessert.
