We saw an ad for this place at the campground we were staying at and it sounded good. Wasn't what we had expected. It is a store front restaurant in a strip mall. The atmosphere is "parking lot chic". The staff was friendly enough. They were ok with us having our dog on the outdoor eating area. Limited menu, Chinese and seafood. My wife had shrimp in oyster sauce, and spring rolls.I had shrimp and sausage boil. Servings were generous and the food was good. Shrimp were large and tasty. We would probably do take out if we go back. read more

WOW! This place was great for a quick stop for a late lunch. The food is fresh, hot, and comes out quickly! We ordered the orange beef (highly highly recommend!), chicken fried rice, vegetable lo mein, and egg drop soup. All came out very quickly, piping hot, and super fresh. We loved everything we ordered! The best Chinese food we've had in the area. Service was fast, attentive, and super nice. Highly recommend this place! read more

Love it outstanding food and great prices you will love it. Great service and some of best food ever the cook is great.

Wonderful Chinese dishes! The General Tso's is crispy and hot! The best in the area. The chef takes pride in his work and goes the extra mile to please his customers. It's a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. The fried seafood baskets rock too! read more

I was really excited to check this place out due to the significant amount of high reviews, but I just can't really recommend it based off of what I ordered. I got one of the seafood bags which had shrimp, snow crab claws, potatoes, and sausage in it. The shrimp were not quite as fresh as one would hope for, or maybe they were overcooked... I'm not quite sure. Several of the shrimp I ordered were a bit mushy/off texture wise after peeling. The snow crab claws were also disappointing. The meat was not plump and juicy. I can't exactly put my finger on it... but with snow crab claws being one of my favorite foods, I've had some really good ones and some really mediocre ones. This unfortunately was the latter. The mussels to me... didn't taste unfresh... but were so aggressively briney that I ate 1 and thought that maybe I just got an off mussel. I ate a second one to confirm and then just stopped eating them all together. So out of the whole seafood bag... I probably enjoyed the potatoes and sausage the most ( but wasn't really interested in filling up on sausage because I keep a low sodium diet). Then... if that bag wasn't disappointing enough... I went to fill myself up on rice and the rice just wasn't even really of high quality or cooked right. Yikes. I definitely finished the meal asking myself... how fresh this seafood was... and the implications of if it wasn't. Luckily nothing made me sick or anything. But I did feel a bit downtrodden after spending so much money on a meal that I was quite excited for... but didn't live up to expectations to say the least. Unfortunately, if I went to Lake Anna again... I wouldn't likely find myself at the Tasty Crab. I really wish I could say otherwise. read more

This is an Asian restaurant that provides seafood boils. The food was fresh but the sauce did not compare to Tasty Crab in Richmond. Mama Dees sauce just hits different. The sausage was paper thin, but the potato was enormous! That's different. The service was fast like any takeout and the restaurant was empty on a Sunday afternoon. I was kinda suspicious that nobody was inside, but that's how most Chinese takeout restaurants are. It was clean and a nice spot for a weekend country drive. Now, the Asian persuasion was on point. I read reviews on the hot and sour soup, it was delicious. I did order Yakisoba and got Lo Mein. It was still good, not dry, but I really wanted the thinner noodle experience of the Yak. I may try the other dishes one day when I'm out near Lake Anna. No pictures, maybe next time. read more

Awesome service food was cook Awesome Emily was so professional treating people like family. Thank you Doug Holbrook read more

Four stars for the good combo of price point, service and tastiness. I was looking for lunch when I passed this place and quickly realized this was what I wanted, deep down inside. The crab cake was tasty, as were my Cajun fries. My server was friendly and was very proud how they give large portions. This is something of a no-frills experience, but for a small place in a vacation area it's a great stop. read more

The service is fantastic! This little mom and pop shop is misleading but trust me order the food and it won't disappoint!

Fantastic seafood and Asian restaurant at Lake Anna. We ordered spring rolls and 2 boils. Everything was fresh and delicious. Shrimp were nice and plump, sausage was good, crab was great. A great experience overall! read more

Fresh ingredients, generous portion, and good service. We are Very happy to have it nearby.

We ordered garlic broccoli, fried oysters, fried zucchini, and a small salad. Good meal. Good portions. Took home leftovers and reheated for dinner. Can't beat that. Would definitely go again. read more

Good place specializing in noodles and seafood. We wanted to try both, so we got the beef fried noodles and fish basket with wings on the side. The food was averagely good. It was too hot for ramen, but I wish I had tried that instead! The fries were perfectly seasoned and crispy. read more

This was an OK place. The server seemed like she might actually be high, either that or just a very wild and crazy spirit. She just seemed to lack behavioral boundaries. The menu shockingly didn't have much in the way of crab. I figured I'd be able to get anything crab, based on the menu. This is an Asian style restaurant and appears to be associated with the Asian diner next door. I gave this restaurant 3 stars because the food I did order was good. The disappointing selection on the menu and the waitresses lack of personal control cause the loss of 2 stars read more

My family loves getting the crab and shrimp boil with sausage and potatoes. Depending on how hungry one is, you can share a bag but typically each person gets their own. It's expensive but good seafood is.. we've been ordering from them for a few years and we are happy with how fresh the food is. Fun to grab a few bags and have a crab feast outside- it's a must-do tradition every summer. read more

Stopped for some carryout on an evening we were late getting home. It was a good choice, and I hope this place makes a go of it. I had the fried shrimp basket, and my wife one of the ramen choices. The next time we go there, I will try the ramen also.....which looked very good (and my wife agreed that it was very good). read more

I mean what can I say about this place. Every time I've come here to eat I am not let down I've had picked quite a lot of options off the menu and have not been disappointed yet and yes the chicken In The picture I took is as crispy as it looks and as delicious as it looks too. Also I'd like to say you can't go wrong with the ramen either it's really good my go to is the chicken ramen with the soy based broth and love it everytime I get it hate off to that place for having some good eats read more

I went to this restaurant to give it a try. I really enjoyed the food, it was so much I had to take some of it home with me. I had a waitress by the name of Desiree and Amiya they were outstanding servers and very prompt with the service and making sure our drinks were always full. I will definitely be back.. thanks again for great service read more

This place surprised me. We took the boat to the Tasty Crab and docked for free at the dock. Great atmosphere at the dock and grassy area. It was Roped off and head games for kids like corn hole and frisbee golf. We noticed the people were getting food from the tasty crab and taking it to the dock area and eating at the picnic tables. We had a table for 10 including five little kids. Server was friendly and many happy patrons surrounded us with great looking food. The seafood was fresh and delicious I highly recommend getting the shrimp and muscles by the pound with the garlic and butter sauce. This was by far the best option on the menu. The bucket comes with corn and sausage. Others at the table got the shrimp basket and chicken fingers of which were not that great. Also a Dish that was not a big hit was the Raman. Ramen Ramen was just not good. Stick to the buckets of fresh seafood and you can't go wrong. read more

The food was unforgettable, and the service was about the same. In all fairness, the last time I ate there was over a year ago. It might have improved since then, but I'm not willing to find out. read more

The food is delicious and the service is always fast. The staff are friendly and eager to help.

Lots of great food in massive portions. My kids all loved it as did my wife and I.

I've been here a few times and each time it's a great Experience. The portions they give you is very filling and it's always fresh. I'm very particular about crab legs and these have yet to let me down. The only downfall is the pricing of them is MP. But they service and quality makes up for that. read more

I've eaten here quite a few times and enjoyed all the things I have tried. I have been pleased with the quality and freshness of ingredients. I have yet to try any of the boils but I love the shrimp yakisoba! read more

Odd they have crab in their name but NONE on the menu! There is more Chinese food than seafood!! Great waitress, just poor menu.

Orders are not always as placed. To many times this has happened only to be drenched in garlic . The second time this happened I made sure to specify I did not want garlic and sure enough it was drenched in garlic. Very disappointing. Not happy. read more

We have tried this place a few times so far, and the food has consistently been fresh and delicious. Our personal favorites are the Cajun wings, which aren't very spicy at all and the fried noodles (yakisoba)! We've also had the ramen soup, which was good but not quite as flavorful to us. We will definitely be back to try the seafood boils and more of their appetizers! read more

how can anyone get Sweet and Sour Chicken wrong? chicken was gooey and tasted like fish. sweet and sour sauce was very very watered down. No flavor at all. this was the worst $13 I've ever spent. read more

My wife and I tried this place today. In short, this one is a keeper! She had the shrimp basket. The shrimp were nice and crispy, the fries were quite good. I had veggie ramen with miso. I tend not to be a veggie fan, it gets in the way of protein. However...this was really good! The veggie kitchen sink in a nice light broth. Beware, this could be dinner. We also had spring rolls , also very good. One suggestion, don't try to eat ramen in the car. Trust me on that. The only slight negative is the fried food came out with a touch of grease. It didn't hurt our enjoyment of the food. read more

The food is great. Wait staff attentive. We have gotten take out here, and the seafood I'd awesime read more

Visiting from PA and loved the Seafood bucket. The food was hot and ready to go as soon as we arrived and they even gave us the extra butter we asked for! Couldn't have been a smoother transaction and the food was outstanding. A visit to Tasty Crab will be a yearly tradition now! read more

Tasty Crab is an awesome eatery here at Lake Anna. When you order, expect to be served a great meal that you will likely not be able to finish at the 1st seating but will be great as a second meal (at least this is the case with my wife and ). We really love this restaurant and recommend them to everyone we see when asked where is a great place to eat at Lake Anna. read more

A wide variety of good food and the service was wonderful! Lucky to have wondered upon it!

Finally! A place in Mineral / Lake Anna to get some really good seafood. Love the "in the bag" packaging and perfect for taking it home. This is a elbows up, pass me the paper towels, roll up the sleeves kind of place that we adore. We got a few combinations of shrimp, mussels and crab with all the fixings (corn, potatoes and sausage). You get what you pay for and we'll definitely order again. They've only been open for 2 days... stay true to your roots, keep the garlic flowing, and seafood fresh. Hope everyone orders to keep them around. read more
