    a menu for seafood combinations
    Mike B.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    This place has moved. No longer a tiny hut with a table or two outside, they are now on the main…read morearcade. The interior space is still fairly modest but has some seating. As is often the case on this arcade, the restaurant also has a dedicated set of outdoor seats at the middle of the brick walkway. You'd think all of this would be an upgrade, but no. First, I ordered in advance online to spare myself a wait, not knowing that it was an actual sit-down restaurant. However, upon arriving at the space, there was no one to take an order if I'd wanted to place one, and only rarely did anyone emerge from the back with food. I just took a seat and waited. By the time someone acknowledges my presence after some fifteen or twenty minutes, my food was apparently already ready and just sitting there. I didn't leave a tip as my impression of this place was that they weren't really providing any service. There's nothing wrong with a counter service model rather than full table service, but one way or another they seem not to have figured out what they were doing. Other potential diners also seemed confused. Don't get me wrong, the good was great. My ginger lemongrass noodle soup delivered an explosion of flavors. Would order again. I just hope they improve the customer service experience, because this is a great opportunity for the average local to try some vegetarian Vietnamese food.

Really one of the best banh mis I've had. The chili oil was spicy and delicious too. I also had the sesame mochi balls which were delightful. Great crispy exterior and soft sweet inside. Not too sweet, they were just right. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The prices were so reasonable. And it's vegan! Perfect dining experience. I can't wait to come back and try everything on the menu.

    90 minutes of unlimited plates, yes please!…read more I'm very been to Yunnan a couple of times but this was my first time trying their Chef's Endless Table experience. There are two tiers to the menu that are priced at $44 and $69 per person. The menu offered a little bit of everything from Bao buns to their popular Mixian noodles. The restaurant's design was clean, chic and minimal.

    Stopped in after running some errands on a rainy evening an hour to close; figured I'd update my…read morereview. Ordered the Mogu Shiitake Mixian Noodles like last time; overall it was solid, though the hard-boiled egg probably could have benefitted from a little more time in the broth, but it was near-closing, so not a big deal. Unfortunately, the service quality has ebbed since my last visit. My server, while outwardly calm and friendly enough, was eager to remind me of their imminent closure thrice during my meal. I eventually had to say "Yes, I'm aware" to ensure I understood. I suffer from heartburn and need to pace my meals, so this felt like a rather passive-aggressive "get out" which I didn't appreciate for the sake of my own physical health. Moreover, I asked at the end of my meal if I could apply a $5 off coupon I received for my birthday. The server told me that the manager has to be on duty in order to apply the discount code, and that they already left. I found this bizarre, having worked with Toast POS systems before, I know this isn't a difficult thing to train your staff on. This was compounded by the fact that I had to wait an additional 10 minutes for another employee, ostensibly an assistant manager, to apply it, and she wasn't even aware until I flagged her down. Again, solid fare; always love when I get to stop in to Yunnan for that reason alone, so I still recommend it. Unfortunately, I think the management should circle back on a few items with the staff in terms of service quality.
