I haven't been to The Kickin Crab in such a long time, but I'm so happy to say the quality is still AMAZING. Everything tasted just as good as I remembered fresh, flavorful, and so satisfying. The garlic noodles are a MUST. Perfectly seasoned and so addicting with the sauce. And don't even get me started on the Cajun fries... crispy and well-seasoned. My go-to will always be the craw fish with Kicking' Style sauce and rice. It's seriously the best combo. So rich, garlicky, and full of flavor. Definitely the best seafood boil. Service also fast and ambiance was nicely decorated. Can't wait to come back again! read more

Never disappoints! From the moment you walk in, the energy is lively and welcoming. The service is consistently friendly, attentive, and fast, even when it's busy. Everything comes out hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. The seafood is always perfectly cooked, and their signature sauces are incredible. The whole experience of digging into a bag of shrimp, crab, or crawfish covered in that rich, buttery, garlicky goodness is unmatched. Don't skip the corn and potatoes they soak up all that flavor and are just as delicious. read more

The food was yummy and the service was great. We ordered a lb of shrimp for the boy. The shrimp was huge! I ordered the shrimp tacos, and they were tasty. My husband ordered the tilapia and said it was really good. The best thing we ordered was the fried calamari. Hands down, it was the best calamari I've ever had. read more

Wait is usually not too bad (30-45 mjn) and i honestly prefer this over boiling crab. Always get so much shrimp and their cajun fries are delicious! Place is pretty clean too and service is friendly. read more

Not satisfied. I usually come here and it's always been a great experience, but this time was completely different. While eating my food, I found a caterpillar in it. I hadn't even finished half my meal when I saw it, and I couldn't continue eating after that. It was honestly disgusting and made me worried there could be more bugs in my food.They did remove my fries and drink from the bill, but I feel like more should have been done. I would have expected the entire bag of food to be replaced or refunded, especially the portion I didn't eat. Very disappointing experience. read more

The Kickin Crab - corn with caterpillar - Seafood Near Me - Bell Gardens, California

Food and service were to the tee. Our waitress was very attentive with us. Best seafood boil

This spot never disappoints its a major plus when they serve headless shrimp . The micheladas are also good, the fish fried tacos bomb

Terrible customer service do not go to this place no one came to our table to ask if we needed anything we kept of flagging them down for water. The sea food boil was dry and on top of that charged us for extra sauce. Be careful ask about the free yelp fries before ordering because they do not honer what they are advertising we got charged for them. Supervisor said she couldn't adjust our bill. read more

Really bad service. Stopped for 2 minutes to speak someone I recognize from another table and got told that if I continued to speak to that table I was going to get charged 18%. RIDICULOUS! read more

It was going to be our first time trying here so we can't say if it's good or not We called at 9:13pm if they were open and have a wait time they said they had no wait time. We get there at 9:22pm and the gentleman said they weren't taking anyone in keep in mind I called and they never mentioned anything about last call for dining in. Then they said no outside food over the age 9 my daughter is 8 and my nephew is 10. But yet we saw a man with a white shirt go outside and grabbed some fruits and went back inside. You can tell he was lazy just didn't want to help out and wanted to go home We asked if there was a manager he didn't have a manager or didn't know the name or number. Never ever coming again read more

The food is great but the service is lacking, we all finished our drinks and never did anyone come to ask if we wanted more soda or water, the employee hovered over us while we were paying and it was uncomfortable because it was when it asked for the tip and I mean u brought the food but want a 15% tip ‍ make it make sense read more

Food was ok didn't have enough garlic or flavor and the medium that's suppose to be hot was not hot at all. They don't let you do half pounds of anything. The sausage was weird I think it needed to be fried a bit then added to the bag. I wasn't impressed!! read more

This is my second time going to Kickin Krab and I was a bit hesitant since i previously tried the food at a different location and hated it. To my surprise, the food was amazing. I went with a friend and I ordered A pound of headless shrimp, spicy, and the kickin sauce. I also got a side of white rice. The spice was not too much and it had just the right amount of kick to it. My shrimp was cooked to perfection and the sauce was so tasty. I love how much of the sauce they give you with your bag too! The service was a 4/5. I did go on a Friday night and the place was packed! When we checked in, we were told the wait was about two hours. I understand because it was busy, but I was confused because half the tables were not occupied so I'm not sure why they weren't taken in more customers. Aside from that, my server was fast and I almost felt rushed to order since they sat us down close to closing time. But, not in a rude way, more as a "I'm trying to get you guys your food quicker type of way". Despite it being busy, they were checking on us frequently up until they started to do their closing tasks. That's when we had to go and look for a server to ask for refills since they were busy with cleaning. The restaurant was at a good noise. For a Friday night, it wasn't too loud or too quiet. It was a perfect noise level where I was able to have a conversation with my friend but not yell. Side note: I wanted to try the crawfish but unfortunately they only had frozen. And I was confused considering it's crawfish season. With that being said, I believe this location to have better service and better food. I would come here again. read more

Pretty disappointed with this place. I bought a pound of shrimp and pound of crab with potatoes, sausages and all that. I was given 7 pieces of shrimp, they were trying to hide mixed in with the potatoes and everything. I let them know they skimped me. After seeing it the server told me that it was in fact too little and she'll see what she can do. She then tried to ask for the bag back to add more shrimp. I asked her if she could just bring the extra shrimp on the side because we were already eating. Which thank god I did! She didn't bring it out till we were pretty much done and all they gave us was 4 pieces of shrimp in a bag. The food overall was good but the portions are very small for what they're charging you. The service is okay besides the host I think she was. She was kinda rude and seemed like she was wanting reactions from people with her smart remarks. There was a wait time when they had barely anyone in there and they ask for you to wait outside in the cold. A small waiting area would be nice since they don't like to use half the restaurant to begin with. Maybe a bench off to the side? lol read more

The Kickin Crab - Small bag of shrimp since they didn't give me the proper portion. Still isn't enough and was brought out when we asked for the check. - Seafood Near Me - Bell Gardens, California

came here today to eat with my friends around 4pm and i'm really disappointed with the seafood quality. The service was good, even left a good amount of tip for our server, she was A1. Sauce was good as well! The seafood quality? ITS A BIG NO. Crawfish was really old and you could tell by the way the shells were so soft and crushed. You know it's gone bad. The shrimp was good and the sausage as well. It was just the crawfish that threw all of us off. The taste and the color was just really not it. The inside of the head was all black and the shell body was just completely so soft and crushed. Hope they could improve on their seafood quality. Gave 2 stars for the service of the 2 girls that served us. read more

This place is a must for seafood! My gf always gets a pound of shrimp with the kickin flavor. Since that's not my thing, I'm soooo glad they added the garlic shrimp platter- reminds me of Hawaii's north shore. That's our go to with a side of Cajun fries. Amazing. Five stars read more

Waited over 15-20 minutes in line just for the staff to say to me and my partner they weren't currently doing dine in for two people at 8:30pm ???? when there was clearly a good amount of empty tables around apparently they where all "full " keep in mind they had just seated a party of 6 before us .... but the Staff certainly did have ENOUGH food for take out??? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE or hire more staff for Friday nights , every time I stop here is always something , I for some reason always end up walking away !!!! After this visit I'll be more than happy to never show up Horrible service horrible business .. just please do your self a favor and go to another boiling crab restaurant around the area their dine in times close at 9:30 pm read more

My husband and I love the kickin crab! Compared to any other cajun seafood place we like this one the best. The sauce is thicker and less oily in my opinion. This location is very spacious and there's always parking. Service has also been good Everytime we go. I love the crab legs with rice and corn. My husband loves their shrimp with sauce on the side. Food comes out fast and would come back again! read more

I love the service and great environment! I love the food here i def recommend ! The food always comes out hot, flavorful, and loaded with seasoning. The shrimp and crawfish are my go-tos, especially with the "Kickin' Style" sauce -- spicy, garlicky, and so good with rice. The staff is friendly and the vibe is super chill, perfect for hanging out with friends and getting messy with some seafood. Just be ready to get your hands dirty -- it's part of the fun! read more

The food was great, and our waitress, Sandra, was very kind and attentive--she checked on us regularly and provided excellent service. However, our experience with the host was disappointing. I didn't catch her name, but she was a shorter woman (approximately 4'5" to 4'11") with black hair and glasses. She had a rude attitude while seating us and even got into an argument with my wife, which made the situation uncomfortable. read more

The worst customer service I have ever received. My family which is comprised of 5 adults and my 13 month old baby came to join the wait list. Upon joining the list we were told it was a 25 minute wait even though there were only 3 tables in use in the entire restaurant. To make it better, the hostess told us that if my 13 month old ate even 1 French fry, there would be an 18% surcharge as he is now a 6th person being served. ONE FRENCH FRY. Completely ridiculous. My family and I will not be returning and will definitely tell all our family and friends about this stupidity. Better stick to Boiling Crab and Let's Sea, the service is far superior. read more

I have waited to write this place a review because I wanted to make sure that the service I was getting was consistent and not just an off day. Well, sad to say but after coming here a few times...it still isn't as good as I would like it to be. The service is slow and the staff are too busy talking among each other at the front than to check on their customers. It takes so long for us to get seated even on a slow day and even longer to get assisted on our orders. The food is a hit and miss but ultimately it can be very little sauce and a little bland at times. read more
