I love knowing I can get that same coastal flavor without having to drive far from home. On top of the food, the customer service was amazing.

If you're craving legit shrimp, great vibes, and top-tier service, this spot is absolutely worth it. I'll definitely be back.

I visited this restaurant yesterday with my cousin, and unfortunately it was a disappointing…read moreexperience. The place was pretty empty, yet the service was still very slow .To be fair, there was only one girl handling everything!! seating guests, taking orders, and serving food, while another man would occasionally come by to drop something off and then disappear. The food was the biggest letdown. The sauce was extremely dark, thick, and bland, with abt 6 large bay leaves in it. It also had a very bitter taste that overpowered everything. On top of that, the menu is very limited, only two combo options. If you want crab and shrimp together, you're forced to buy them separately, and it's not cheap The only upside was that they had a deal where if you spend over $70 before tax, you get a free item from a selected list. Also, the crab meat and shrimp themselves were very meaty and fresh, which is the main reason I'm giving this place two stars instead of one. Overall, I wouldn't return. The food , service and price just weren't worth it.

For some reason, it took us twenty minutes to get a seat and an additional twenty minutes to receive our server. There was nothing particularly noteworthy about the sauce, and the food was mediocre. The fries and hushpuppies were the only decent appetizers. They never checked in to refill our waters, and the potatoes in our seafood boil were cold. We also told them that we were there to celebrate a friend's birthday and they never showed up to bring him dessert. I will most definitely not be coming back.

Food quality is consistent with the Chino Hills location. Noah, who was an excellent server at that…read morelocation, is at this location now and his service is just as great. (Not sure if he's the manager now or a different person, but every server here is polite and efficient). We get the kickin combo #1, kickin style, mild with shrimp and mussels; fried oysters; garlic noodles. I feel like the sausages at this location are bigger compared to CH. Food comes out reasonably fast. Restrooms are always clean. There are sinks outside to wash your hands as well.

My family and I absolutely love coming here since discovering it last year! Parking lot sucks but…read moreworth the walking. We visit often and have tried nearly everything on the menu. Some of our favorite dishes include the bbq beef, beef bone ribs, both poke bowls, and the furikake salmon. During my most recent visit, I tried their latest addition, the Poke Nachos and they were amazing. They had the perfect spicy kick, and the chips were incredibly crunchy. I do wish it had cucumber slices, but overall the poke nachos were excellent. The mac salad is delicious, we always get extra. The Iced Lemon Tea is easily the best drink here. It is so refreshing and always a must order for me. They are always generous with their sauces, which I really appreciate about this place, coming from a sauce lover. For takeout orders, they always carefully wrap the plates and sauces to prevent any spills. I really appreciate the extra attention to detail. The service is consistently quick and friendly, and the restaurant has a beautiful modern vibe. Highly recommend this spot!

5/1/2026 Been so…read morelong since I've had a pan roast! I thought there weren't any more places that make pan roasts, but happy to have found one in Chino Hills! HOUSE PAN ROAST It tasted exactly what was expected. A creamy tomato soup consistency and flavor. Got level 2 or 3 for spice level. I wanted more of that creamy flavor, not spice. Any higher than 3 would be Tabasco level spice and up. Deliciously filled with shrimp, chopped scallops, small crab meat. I could taste the crab meat, which was all sitting at the bottom of the bowl. The scoop of jasmine rice with the creamy pan roast was comfort on another level. Got the small size, but it is enough for me. I do wish there were more shrimp and scallops and crab in the pan roast. I felt the scallops and crab were chopped too small and wished there was a bit more. But still I enjoyed the pan roast and would get it again. As an appetizer and accompaniment to the house pan roast, they bring a basket with three sliced breads and a side of butter. It's a light, soft bread with a bit of sour flavor. Didn't like it. I would have preferred dinner rolls. CUSTOMER SERVICE I arrived 1 hr before lunch closing time. It closes at 2:00pm and then re-opens for dinner at 5:00pm. But service was good! Only one server, but she checked back with everyone and all around better than most places I've been at recently. Lots of people came in 30-40 mins before closing time. Still, service was friendly and they weren't turned away. LOCATION At The Commons at Chino Hills. This is a large outdoor mall and have many parking spaces.

The Boiler is located in a large shopping plaza, so there is plenty of parking. They don't take reservations, but there was no line at opening, and they were able to accommodate my party of 10 without issue. They have both tables and bar seating. Of course I had to try their House Pan Roast that has shrimp, crab, clams, scallops, and the trinity in a tomato cream-based sauce. It also comes with a scoop of jasmine rice, but you can sub for pasta as well. You choose your spice level ranging from 0-10. I can't handle very much spice, but a spice level of 1 was not spicy at all, and spice level 3 really didn't have much spice either. Our server told us that a 6 or 7 is about sriracha level in terms of spiciness. The House Pan Roast overall was very tasty, and I enjoyed having a variety of seafood! The portion of rice isn't too large, but I appreciate that they give you complimentary bread, so it was great for dipping in my remaining pan roast!

Came here on a weekend for dinner, and while the experience started off with some promise, it…read moreultimately ended up being a major disappointment that only warranted 2 stars. I'll start with the good, which was the service; I found our server to be very nice, attentive, and helpful with giving us recommendations throughout the night. However, I felt the food was very expensive for what we received, the portion sizes were not very big, and the overall quality was just not good. I noticed the flavors were mostly just salty and spicy, to the point where I couldn't really taste the intrinsic flavor of the seafood itself. I ordered the mixed seafood cocktail, but it had mostly lemon juice and tasted much more like a ceviche than a traditional cocktail. Most concerning of all, I could tell something was off with the seafood, and it ended up giving me a major upset stomach after eating here. Considering how much we paid for just 2 entrées, combined with the fact that it made me sick, it is highly unlikely that I will ever return.

To my taste, this is by far the best Star Crab location I've been to…read more The owner and staff were genuinely friendly and helpful from start to finish, which already sets the tone. The flavor and seafood were absolutely on point. My group of five ordered the Snow Star Family Bucket with Full House sauce, and everything came out fresh, well-seasoned, and generously portioned. Portions were solid and we all left very full and very satisfied. If I had to nitpick: The mild Full House sauce was a little spicy for something labeled "mild." Still tasty, just a heads-up for anyone sensitive to heat. The fried calamari was good flavor-wise, but it was a bit light on calamari and heavy on fries. Small side note: my wife and I love having boiled eggs with our seafood boil, but unfortunately they don't offer boiled eggs here. Not a deal-breaker, just something we personally missed. Overall though, great food, great service, and a spot I'd happily come back to again. Easily our favorite Star Crab so far.

A Saturday night visit. We wanted a spot that wasnt overly crowded at 745pm. We were seated right…read moreaway, but they initially placed us at a table in the middle that was too small for our group of six, so we requested a booth along the wall instead. They provided us menus, pretty straightforward; choose seafood, add sides for an extra cost, choose the flavor, and the spice level. One thing not noted on the menu is that shrimp isn't peeled, but they can peel them for an extra $6. And each order comes in pound increments. No half a pound offered. Your table is also covered with paper so you can eat the seafood boil from there. They provide bibs and gloves for no charge. Ultimately, we enjoyed our meals. Everything was flavorful and, unlike some other seafood boil spots, it didn't leave us feeling like we had heartburn afterward. There's a little sink for you to clean your hands at, which is nice since you dont have to wait for the restroom to empty. The service is what was a bit off. Like we asked for 3 Cajun fry boats but only received 2. Drinks were mixed up, and the clam chowder didn't arrive until about 20 minutes after our seafood bags had already been delivered. If you want ranch for your fries, they charge 60 cents for a small container. For drink refills, they bring a pitcher, but it's the kind typically used for measuring ounces. The server also tended to reach across one end of the table to grab empty cups or pass out food. Since I was seated at the end, it felt awkward having to help pass things down, especially since there were other access points to reach people in our party. We left around 920pm. I only mention it because we were the last group there, and we all noticed the heater seemed to have been turned on. Restaurant sign says open til 10pm on Sat. but we saw them turn off their open sign when we went outside. Needless to say, service could have been better.
