They offer an all-you-can-eat menu for $45 per person. Since this location operates as both a…read morebanquet hall and a restaurant, it's a good idea to call ahead and confirm they're open. When we first walked in, the place looked empty, and my wife and I almost considered leaving. Just as we were about to head out, a server came over, seated us, and explained the menu. The $45 menu is extensive, featuring a wide variety of Vietnamese dishes such as escargot (ốc), pho, and bò né (Vietnamese sizzling beef steak), among many others. We ordered escargot with tamarind sauce, oysters with cheese, a lobster special, rau muống (water spinach) with garlic, glass noodles, and a ribeye steak. This isn't a typical buffet--each dish is cooked to order. It took about 15 minutes since there were only two chefs, but the wait was absolutely worth it. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served piping hot. The lobster was a whole lobster with claws, and the ribeye was a generous cut served sizzling at the table. The portions are large, and our server kindly warned us ahead of time--we're glad we listened! The owner was friendly, and the service was attentive throughout our meal. My wife and I loved this place and will definitely be coming back. It's great to have quality Vietnamese food nearby without having to travel all the way to OC.

FANTASTIC PLACE FOR FOOD AND A PARTY!…read more I had the privilege of being invited to a party with some friends who had booked their event with Sea Queen Restaurant and I cannot deny that I was only impressed with the food, decor, staff, and the entire experience. If you are interested in booking your own event here, I recommend it. If you have no events coming up and just want some amazing food, still come here for that too! Amazing dishes are cooked and served here. It is mostly Vietnamese cuisine that you would find here, but hey... who doesn't enjoy this kind of cuisine? There is so much this restaurant has to offer. Not to mention there are weekly events; even a karaoke night. Lastly, if you enjoy sea snails, escargot, and don't want to drive out of the IE to the OC for some... just come here!

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 comes out reasonably fast. Restrooms are always clean. There are sinks outside to wash your hands as well.

Kickin' Style Mild. Wonderful flavor! Inside was smaller than the others we've been too but it was clean and organized. To be honest I liked the size better than the bigger ones. We will be back and glad it's close to the house. Thank you Kickin' Crab Montclair!

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.

Delicious specials, an amazing menu and authentic tastes. I went to rural Louisiana last summer and the food here was just as good as the food there. If anything this restaurant primed me for what to expect when I went to its origin place. It's a nice spot to catch up with friends with attentive servers. I've seen everything from date night to birthday celebrations here.

First time & I loved it! Can't wait to go back!…read more First they have Abita draft beer. My personal fave is Purple Haze, so I was excited about that, as it's difficult to find! We went with the recommendations of our bartender & ordered the following: Shrimp dip- very good. Interestingly it had more shrimp than actual dip-- which has pros & cons. Fried Catfish (I wouldn't have chosen this dish on my own), but it was delicious! The catfish so mild & melts in ur mouth, with some crawfish ettouffe- SO good! Beignet Martini was ok. The beignet on the side was the highlight of the drink. A little disappointed they don't have a Crawfish boil & Chicory coffee, but I'll take what I can get here in Cali!

They also have some fun soda options that I don't find at many food spots. Staff is always friendly and food comes out ready and fresh in a good amount of time. I feel like the portions are good too, I usually have leftover for lunch the next day. Recently I also experimented and tried some of the catfish my husband ordered.
