My mom wants to try something new with seafood. I saw this restaurant on TikTok and decided to…read moretake her here. We sat down at the bar area. The server took his time letting us know what dishes they are famous for. He also recommended some spices that is good for a certain seafood boil. My mom ordered the Raw Oysters, Lobster Tail (The Boiling), and shrimp. She said that the foods are very delicious. I ordered fried fish and you can choose half tilapia and half catfish with a choice of fries and I chose sweet potato fries. The textures are perfectly fried. We will come here again and try other menu items.

We'd been wanting to go for months and when we did, we were surprised by how few patrons there…read morewere. By the time we got our food, we understood why. The sharpie graffiti all over the walls seemed cute at first but all of that visual clutter conditioned me into thinking that the place was dirty. No offense meant to management but my son started smelling phantom smells usually associated with graffiti'd areas in DTLA. You can't underestimate the power of suggestion. Prices are comparable to Kicking Crab and Boiling Crab with a few differences. This place doesn't offer crawfish. Neither do they offer noodles as an alternative to rice. Nor do they offer broccoli or any type of vegetable. Service is friendly but with only two servers, there is a noticeable wait. But their wonderful can-do attitude offset it. When we got our crab and lobster, it was unfortunately dry. Not sure how long they cook the seafood for, but in my experience, if you let the crab or lobster steam or boil too long, the flesh tends to stick to the shells. It wasn't easy to get the meat out. We had to scrape the meat off the exoskeletons. The lobster tail was halved prior to cooking, so this step may have contributed to the dry meat. Typically you should only split it once it's been cooked. The sauce barely adhered to the seafood, so you have to dip the seafood into the crab boil sauce to get some flavor on it. The hush puppies for happy hour are a deal at $6 but there was practically no potato in it. You get breaded, fried flour. Wasn't very happy with this. The calamari was great - minimally breaded, seasoned well, and the flesh was juicy. Loved the marinara sauce that came with it. It's also on the happy hour menu, and for $6, it was a good portion. Hopefully management can make the necessary corrections to improve the customer's experience. The fixes shouldn't be problematic because they're simple enough. Adjusting the cooking time should do a lot to improve the juiciness of the seafood, and I'm certain patrons will notice the effort.

Our usual order is 1lb of shrimp and 1lb of mussels, and we've always been happy with it. This time, we decided to try the Combo #2 because we wanted to add crab legs. We ordered three combo bags, each with shrimp, mussels, and crab legs. Unfortunately, it didn't feel like there was anywhere close to 1lb each of shrimp and mussels in the bags. I can't prove it, so I can only share our experience, but it honestly felt like there were fewer than 15 shrimp in the bag. For the first time ever, we finished our meal and were still hungry afterward. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend ordering the combo bag. Not only did it seem like there was significantly less food, but with all the ingredients piled together, some items ended up overcooked. We were really disappointed because we've had consistently good experiences with multiple locations here over the years. Hopefully this was just an off day, but we'll be sticking with ordering the seafood separately next time.

We ordered one pound of mussels, one pound of shrimp, and a few sides. The sauce had great flavor, although it was a little too thick and paste-like for my preference. I think it could have used a little more juice or liquid to really coat the seafood better. A few things could be improved with the overall experience. The beer was served at room temperature, and the table was a little rocky--whenever someone at the nearby table stood up or moved around, our table seemed to move as well. They also only had one-size-fits-all gloves, so hopefully you have smaller hands because the fit may not be ideal for everyone. Price-wise, it was a little on the high side for the amount of food we ordered, but the overall flavor helped make up for it. Despite a few minor issues, the food was good, flavorful, and enjoyable.

My sister and I recently visited Star Crab in Upland, and the food was seriously so good. From the moment we walked in, the place already looked beautiful. They had a lot of Valentine's decorations which made the vibe feel extra special, and the interior has this nice old-school, cozy feel. We've actually eaten at other Star Crab locations before, but honestly, this one had the best flavor out of all the seafood boils we've tried. Everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and super satisfying. The owner, maam Alexis, was very kind and welcoming. She even helped us and made sure we were comfortable. When we were about to pay, she surprised us with matcha marshmallows and other little treats, which was such a sweet gesture. We really enjoyed our time here. This is definitely a place you should visit you won't regret it!!! Next time we come back, we're for sure bringing the rest of our family with us read more

We stopped by randomly and found this place. the prices are great for what you get! They have a different spice levels which is great because I love spicy and my wife does not! The service is great. The owner kindly explained how everything works. The restaurant itself is small so it will get crowded and once that happens food will take longer. Compared to the big brand this does take longer but the price and taste make it worth it. just know going in it will take longer than expected especially if it's busy. They also do not give a lot of salt/pepper. We had to ask for more and they bring out a tiny amount each time which was frustrating but overall will not stop us from returning read more

This place is ok. The sauce is very tasty and as other reviews say, made with real garlic. It wasn't too oily either. But the food just didn't impress me very much. We splurged and ordered the king crab, which was a big disappointment. But we also got the shrimp and they weren't very impressive either. We will probably try again because the sauce was good and this seems like the best of this kind of place in the area, but I would temper your expectations, at least if you're getting take out. read more
