    If you don't mind getting your hands dirty, this is the perfect place to enjoy seafood that's finger-licking good. Sure, you could wear gloves while eating, but what's the fun in that? Besides, eating with bare hands is the best way to get intimate with such delicious food. I had the seafood combo with mussels, potatoes, and corn on the cob, all simmered in a rich garlic broth and tied in a large bag. I literally dug into the bag and started slurping my seafood. I only came up for air a few times to wipe my face, after it was splattered with all the juice. The friendly staff brought out the food quickly, but the restaurant was mostly empty when I arrived for lunch on a Wednesday. This is certainly an under-rated restaurant. People are missing out.

    Was craving Cajun seafood and since this was in my neighborhood. We figured we'll give them a try. Our go to is Kickin Crab thus far but I'm always down to give any new spot a try. Especially one that's local. Inside was cozy. It was also empty. They had basketball playing on their tv. The vibe was very chill. Our waiter was super friendly and very tentative. We ordered the shrimps and garlic noodles w/the sauce on the side. The sauce that came with the shrimps was a bit watery for me. The flavors were there but it felt watered down. The shrimps were really fresh so that's a plus. Garlic noodles were ok. I'm glad I told them to put the sauce on the side because that would've been a bit too much flavors for the garlic noodles. Over all, I might go back if I'm lazy to drive to Westminster because the service was great.

    Dive into a flavor explosion at the brand-new Mlem Mlem Crab Cajun Seafood! The Cajun seafood boil is a taste sensation you won't want to miss! Don't forget to ask for a side of their Cajun sauce. We had crab, crawfish, shrimp, mussels, some scallops, corn on the cob, potatoes in our seafood boil bags. This is the star of the show!! It's mesmerizing to watch them pour everything onto the table!! Definitely, a wow from everyone! Other dishes and appetizers we tried were the garlic shrimp pasta, Cajun fries, Fried Calamari, Edamame!! So great variety for a group. So yummy! Get ready to indulge in a seafood extravaganza that will make your taste buds dance! Kudos to the staff for their wonderful service.

    Such a great seafood boil place! There is both indoor and outdoor seating offered at this fun restaurant! The interior has such a great vibe with all its decor, signs and long tables. The service is very attentive and everyone has a happy attitude in this great atmosphere! The outside area offers large tables and umbrellas. Perfect for outdoor eating! The food is a-mazing! I love the flavor of the boil itself and they have so many seafood choices, even scallops!! The boil itself have enough heat to be legit but not so much it'll blow you away. Their boil includes sausage, potato and corn! They have a great variety of yummy aps as well that you need to try! I can't choose a favorite This is a must try place for sure!

    That shrimp noodle made my kids stomach hurt

    First timer the place was nice he got us water but my daughter's water had hair in it so we didn't bother with water even tho he gave us another cup. The food was not what we expected we would not come back we probably have different taste buds overall the food was bland not great no taste and customer service was good. Honestly could make the same thing at home coming here.

    Mlem mlem crab is a small owned seafood boil spot near Lakewood mall. I went in to order to go but saw that they didn't have any customers sitting in so I decided to dine in. I ordered a pound of shrimp & a pound of crab. The service was excellent & they were so attentive to my needs! They were playing good music as well and I love the layout of the restaurant. There was a lot of natural light & a lot of seafood places doesn't have a lot of light coming in. The food was really flavorful and was able to eat in peace. The crabs were not overcooked, you know when it sticks to the shell? It didn't stick to the shell and fell out of the shell easily! I hate overcooked seafood & it wasn't at this place. 10/10 would go again!!

    Great local spot for seafood boil. We ordered 2 lb of shrimp, an appetizer of calamari, raw oysters, and soft shell crab entree. I recommend when ordering your boil, to get it at least on medium spicy level which was perfect. The fresh raw oysters were also a good deal, $1 each on a Friday night and they were a decent size and tasty. Service is timely and staff helps you choose what to order if you're having a hard time with all the options, they even showed us their special combos to make it easier. I want to come back to try the crab next time!

    Combo #2 with Snow crab, shrimp and mussels.
    Jet G.

    Good taste, but snow crab was not fresh. The shell was too soft and cracking the shells mashed up the meat. Calamari was a bit oily but still tasty. Maybe try lightening up on the batter. I would say overall, ok spot for a family owned place. Can use better cracking utensils for the snow crabs. I will say, the service was on point. Very attentive staff. Whoever was working on the night of 4-21-24 kudos! I may skip the soft snow crabs next time and just double up on the shrimp......

    They're just opened! They serve Cajun/Creole cuisine, seafood, and offer many side options like garlic noodles and wings. Love the experience of putting on gloves and bibs and enjoy some delicious seafood with my hands! Service is fast. They provide indoor and outdoor seats! Plenty parking spots,

Portion-wise, we left comfortably full and only slightly questioning our life choices. The Shrimp Lover Combo can't be modified. We chose Stinkin' Special and Spicy, which came with a plastic glove so you can dig in like a civilized gremlin. The Stinkin' Special was a generous blasts of Old Bay and enough garlic to ward off vampires. The Mad Dog sauce wasn't shock-your-soul spicy, but it definitely lingered. I was still feeling its friendly burn hours later and well into the evening. The LOBSTER ROLLL was tasty but fleeting. It's one of those dishes that makes you realize the meal is almost over right when you're hitting peak satisfaction. A little emotional damage there. We wrapped it all up with deep-fried Oreos and ice cream, which was an instant win. Sweet, cooling relief after all that heat. Tip: Sign up to their text newsletter at the restaurant and enjoy a free basket of fries. BTW, their website is down. :(

I also super enjoy the $1 shots of soju. It's 6 shots max per person, but that puts you at a nice buzz for your meal.

Apparently the version here come pre-wrapped, but I didn't mind since I was a first timer. The wrapper functions a lot like a tortilla, but much more delicate. I like the mixture of chicken, wood ear mushrooms and cabbage maybe? Textually it's crunchy and I like that in the soft wrapper. The salt & pepper tofu is sautéed with jalapeños which give it a nice kick. It's not your classic version of the this dish because the tofu is cubed into bite sized pieces and tastes a little more peanut-y than salt and pepper-y, but I didn't mind it.
