    I was told about this place from a relative. I've already been to Star Crab about 3 times in the last month so that should say something. The service here is great, very attentive and friendly staff. The Cajun special is the way to go if you're not planning on sharing; snow crab legs, peeled shrimp, 1 corn and potatoes. I have yet to try the other items but as of right now this is my to go spot!

    came here on a sunday evening with one other person and there was no wait. I thought that was a bit telling since I'm used to seeing long lines for seafood boil spots around dinner time... some more people came in as we ate but it never got crowded (about 4 parties in the restaurant at once max). the waitress got us seated right away and took our orders promptly. we got the #1 shrimp star family combo with 2lbs of crawfish for the choice of 2 in mild full house sauce. you could also get the shrimp peeled for a few extra bucks which my friend opted for but they did not look as appetizing as when the shell is on imo. when it came out, it didn't look very saucy and we were able to ask for extra sauce on the side. the sauce wasnt super flavorful but mostly oily and spicy. I usually love crawfish but it did not taste nor feel fresh from here. I'm sure it was frozen but it didnt say that on the menu. the pieces were very small and the texture was dry. everything was quite mediocre and we thought it was around the same price for boiling crab, but with lower quality food. we would have much rather waited in the long line at boiling crab if it meant our taste buds would be happy. if you're really craving seafood boil and in the area, this isn't a bad option but I don't think it was good enough to satisfy my craving.

    The food was okay. I think boiling point is still the best seafood boil. The place was empty, so we got seated instantly. The seafood was fresh, I didn't get sick. The crab wasn't mushy and still had integrity. I feel like the flavor of the sauce could use more work. It wasn't impactful enough. The gumbo was pretty good though. Try it, if you do come here

    Seafood boil flavor is top tier! I didn't want to waste a drop of it. We did order 2 different soups and those tasted very bland. Free parking and huge booth areas to sit! We arrived at the perfect time and were seated right away. Within about 10 minutes 6 more parties had come in and waited to be seated lol. Timing is everything. Service was friendly!

    Foods pretty good and nicely seasoned. I usually order Full House/Spicy, delicious! Service has gotten better since opening. Usually not too crowded, I've never had to wait. I'll definitely return, conveniently located! Super casual, nautical theme, no need to dress up!

    Sooo damn good , Going back again second weekend in a row Great customer service fast service and the food was seasoned perfectly and enough sauce also ! 10/10

    Peeled shrimp and clams with sausage and corn.  Cajun, medium spicy.

    Good was really good. The sauce and it's level of spiciness was perfect. DO get the garlic bread to dip in the sauce. While this is not some over-styled restaurant (super basic in a strip mall), the service was really good and the food was worth the price. I am looking forward to coming back! I live 1 mile away and will let my neighbors know how good this is.

    This a fairly new pla UI ce in the Wood so we decided to stop in for lunch this place is one of the hidden food restaurant gems in Inglewood. We were greeted with a warm hello from our server Heather as we were seated, she gave us menus and put the paper across the table and took our order. I got some mild peeled shrimp, fries, and garlic bread it was only 1 other family in there so it was nice and clean and the food came rather fast, the fries were fries it's hard to mess up fries and the mild shrimp had a little kick to them even though I got spicy and the the regular garlic shrimp were bland. If you want regular garlic shrimp and you want it bland order this but everything was pretty good and tasty I don't know why more people don't come here , for one they need better advertising it's pretty much in the cut (hidden away) there is no way this place should not be filled up on a beautiful Saturday like it is today. If you have been sleeping on Star Crab it's time you woke up and came over and had some King or Snow crab legs or some peeled shrimp and they have specials so can't say it's too expensive because it's not!!

    Lemons, salt, ketchup for our fries!

Luckily, while out in LA in close proximity to Chinatown, the husband was reminded of Little Jewel. There was no question where we were headed next. We were warmly greeted as soon as we walked in and handed some menus. We were told to take our time, which was needed since everything sounded so good and the husband kept changing his mind on what to order. We finally settled on the Spicy Creole Jambalaya, Craw Mac Deluxe and The Crabster. It all came out hot, fresh and so satisfyingly delicious! The spice level was perfect. Portions were generous. We had initially planned on having beignets but did not have any more room -- even the dessert pocket was full! The atmosphere is very relaxed. They have several tables in the main dining area and the bar section. Orders are placed and picked up at the front counter. Everyone is super friendly. Parking can get a tricky in Chinatown. There are several flat rate lots if you're planning on spending some time. Metered parking is best for short term visits if you can find it -- we paid $4.30 for an hour.

However, as our meal was winding down, we called the server over to cancel one of the entrees, only to find that he hadn't noted that we ordered it. Overall, the food was ok, but the poor service makes me a bit less inclined to visit again.
