Cates D.

Had cravings for crab and shrimp, so we decided to come here with a group. We enjoyed it tremendously. The staff were very friendly, and the spice level was just right -- flavorful with enough kick to keep you wanting more. Great service, great food, and a great ambiance overall.

Located at SALT Kakaako. Near Highway Inn next to VEIN. Party of 7. We came for the family trough of seafood to fill out bellies. We ordered: Crawfish and snow crab combos Gumbo Service was great. Kitchen was a bit slow but it was fine. Prices had gone up, but expected. Still a good place to take the family for some Cajun seafood grinds.

Seafood boil
Lauren D.

I had a fun meal here with my 2-year-old! she loved getting hands-on with the food, and I appreciated the gloves and bibs they provide to help with the mess. Just be warned: it's a VERRRRY messy experience. I left feeling totally overstimulated by the end. Service was friendly: our waitress was great, but I wish she had explained the menu options a bit more clearly. The menu is also super limited. Yes, it's a seafood boil spot, but there were zero vegetables or fresh sides. The meal really needed something like a salad to balance it out. Food-wise, the crab was definitely the highlight -- sweet and flavorful. But the corn and potatoes tasted like they'd been sitting at the bottom of a pot all day: overcooked and mushy. The absolutely must order is their Cajun fries with crab on top (I forget the name of it)... that was the best part of our whole meal-- BEST fries I've had in a while. For 5 adults and one toddler, our total was close to $300. We had a good amount of leftovers, but for the price, I expected more in terms of freshness and variety. One thing to note: the parking system at SALT is a hassle. Unless you've already set up your credit card with the app ahead of time, it's not very user-friendly -- especially for older people like my parents. It's all digital, and you must remember to scan the validation QR code from the restaurant, or you'll be charged the full rate. For how much we spent on the meal, it's disappointing that parking wasn't fully covered. At that price point, it should be. The handwashing station was very necessary after a meal like this. 3 stars for quality of food, variety & parking situation.

Oyster Platter with their house sauce! YUMMY!
Laurissa A.

This is my go-to spot for seafood drippin' in saucy goodness! Reasonable prices, friendly servers, and finger licking good food. I always order the snow crab combo with the whole sha-bang sauce on the side and extra lemons. The local girl in me gotta have rice to soak up all the sauce. ONO! On this particular visit I tried the oyster platters for the first time and was pleasantly surprised with the quality and the house made sauce served with it! DOUBLE ONO! This is def part of the regular order moving forward. Pro Tip: * Visit between 3-5pm, no crowds. * They offer parking validation. * Bring a foodie friend. * Skip the gloves, nobody wanna lick sauce off of plastic!

Best seafood boil I've tried on the island!! We ordered the crawfish combo ($56), and the sha bang bang shrimp ($16). The crawfish combo came with 1/2 lb shrimp, 1/2 lb clams, 1/2 lb mussels, corn, potatoes, sausage, and rice. (A great value compared to getting Ala carte). If you're wondering if you can handle a higher spice level the answer is probably no. We ordered the mild and it definitely had some heat! Thank you to the yelpers who suggested we not go for a higher level haha My favorite was the sha bang bang shrimp, definitely will order this again. The shrimp that came in the combo was pretty big & so good!! The sauce was also amazing & very garlicky. I honestly didn't love the crawfish too much but that could just be me. Probably would recommend ordering just shrimp, clams, and mussels Ala carte if you're the same way. Service was great! Everyone was so energetic & on their grinddd. I don't know how they have the patience for all the mess everyone makes here LOL. I loved that they have a hand washing area, bibs, and a paper towel covering the tables too!

Ok so I ordered door dash. The crafish was good I got the whole sha bang. I ordered 3lbs of crawfish. The crawfish was so small. The sauce was good but I feel like the crawfish was overcooked and I never finished the crawfish cause it wasn't juicy. Would be good if had juices in the shell.

Potatoes Corn on the Cob Sausages, dungenous crab combo
Isabelle K.

It's always such a treat to come to Boiling Crab what a fun (and tasty!) experience! We (4 of us) ordered the Dungeness Crab combo with garlic sauce mild seasoning, Cajun fries, kids' chicken tenders, and extra boiled egg... everything hit the spot. The crab was perfectly cooked& juicy, sweet, and coated in their signature buttery garlic sauce. Even with the mild spice level, it had plenty of flavor. It's always messy in the best way!! The Cajun fries were crispy and packed with flavor, and the kids' chicken tenders were crispy outside, tender inside, and perfect balance to the seafood. The vibe here is casual and fun, and the staff was friendly and helpful! Definitely wear the bib, embrace the mess, and enjoy. Will be back soon

This clearly shows this is a shrimp and not a Kauai prawn. Shame on Boiling Crab

Buyer's beware. If you are ordering from a delivery service such as Uber Eats. I ordered Kauai prawns and got regular shrimp which may not seem that big a deal but there is a difference in price and huge difference when it's delivered and you receive the wrong type of shrimp. I just want you all to be aware that it's so easy for this restaurant to try and pass off less quality product. I don't recommend this restaurant (Honolulu, HI) if you are opting to use a delivery service.

DEVOURED all the time. Love boiling crab, definitely favorite spot on island for boiling crab. Service always amazing and fast. Staff so friendly as well. Seating is spacious and super cold so bring a jacket lol.

Food 10/10 Service 10 Ambiance clean 10 Always full of flavor great place to enjoy with family Pricy tho

Cajun fries
Kathy T.

Great first time experience! I would highly recommend the combos as you get more food for your money. We ordered the king crab combo with a side of boiled eggs and Cajun fries. Cajun fries are highly recommended! Each dish you can select your spice level (medium spice level definitely builds the more you eat). They provide you lemons and some salt and pepper to help with the spice. The place validates your parking, so you can park in the structure on site. The service was alright. Our waiter got a bit busy during the service and forgot our eggs and our extra gloves. We had to ask multiple times for that. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Noise level was not too bad, but a given as people go there to watch sports and talk. Recommended to join the Yelp waitlist as it can get busy in the evening.

Me and my friends are going there tonight.., if we order the seafood boil combo, does it comes with crawfish?

No, it does not. All combos come with a 1/2 lb. of shrimp, but the Crawfish combo is its own combo.

Do you sell micheladas at this location?

Yes we do!

Is there any way to get the shrimp with the head off peeled and deveined?

We are planning to come in next week with a party of 10. All of us are vaccinated except my 12 year old niece. Does she need to get a Covid test?

Please have your niece do one of those home COVID tests and we will accept that. You might want to use Yelp Wait List if you can. Depending on the time and the day, it will help minimize your wait. Thanks!

Do you have seating for a group of 10? Was wanting to come here to eat dinner Saturday evening for a going-away get together.

We definitely have space to seat a group of 10. We don’t take reservations, and encourage our guests to use Yelp Waitlist. Since Yelp Waitlist allows you to add your party only within a certain amount of time based on your arrival, you are welcome… Read more

Do you have outdoor seating for 3-4?

Asked about reservations today for Friday. They do not take reservations any more. 5/19/2021. Anyone else say otherwise? Need to update the page

We use Yelp Wait List.

Is your outdoor seating dog friendly?

Yes, the outdoor lanai downstairs is pet friendly. Please keep dogs on leash.

Am I able to do a sauce on the side to go? I asked multiple times but was always turned down... however I read comments on Yelp and they say yes?.. am I able to get more sauce or no?

If you order food, yes, you can absolutely have your sauce on the side. However, if you were to just order a bag of sauce on the side, then no.

Is it possible to get the shrimp with head off?

Aloha - Sorry, we don't take the heads off because it changes our cooking time and can further compromise the product, especially for takeout. With that said, with a quick twist and and pull that puppy will pop right off!

Carlos D, so does your location provide military discounts for all food including combo's?

We do provide a military discount, but combos are discounted already. So no, we don’t discount combos again.

I know the restaurant normally doesn't take reservations but do they now due to Covid?

Yes, due to COVID19 protocols, we are now taking reservations to minimize contact during wait times. The safety of our guests and staff are our highest priority. Hope to see you soon!

Open for dine in?

Yup! We just went on July 27, 2020. They scan for fever at the door and you need to wear your mask until you're seated. They also have you scan a QR code w/your phone to access the menu.

Is there butter in the garlic sauce? Are they able to make it without it?

Yes there is. I am afraid it is the main component in the garlic sauce so no, there is no way to make it without it. The closest you can do to that would be to order your item "naked" as we call it. That is basically only the spices.

Do you guys do military discount?

Aloha Jasmine. Yes, we are very thankful for our military guests and happily offer a 10% discount (excluding alcohol)! Hope to see you soon, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Do you guys do take out platters?

Aloha Loriann. So sorry for the delayed reply! We do large take out orders, but they are served in bags rather than platters. Hope to see you soon...

I was honestly surprised to see a seafood boil place in a mall food court it's not something you come across often, so of course I had to give it a try! The food came out fresh and hot, and the shrimp had a nice Cajun flavor without being overly salty or greasy. The mild spice level was perfect just enough kick without overpowering the dish. The rice was a great addition to soak up all that flavorful sauce. It was $28+tax not bad for the amount of food. What really caught my attention was how quiet the food court was for a Sunday at 11am. Usually, this place is packed, so I was a bit surprised to see it almost empty. But honestly, that made it easier to enjoy my meal without the usual crowd or long lines. Overall, it's a nice hidden find if you're craving seafood while shopping in Waikiki.

I want to say about 95% of the shrimps I ate were soft. Flash forward to the middle of the night and this morning, my stomach has been so sore. It's hard to get out of the bathroom. I look up if "soft shrimp" are safe to eat, and google tells me soft shrimp are usually spoiled, and definitely not safe to eat. I'll probably not eat at this location ever again, and would recommend if anyone wants to try it out, to dine in and complain if they have soft shrimp, or avoid the shrimp fully.
