    Whole Dungeness Crab
    Sunny C.

    Haven't had Crab Avenue in a while! Was craving crab drenched in butter, garlic and Cajun spices- spicy of course! Went for the WHOLE Dungeness crab! OMG! Soooo yummy! Crab meat was tender and plump. Love it when I'm able to pull out a big chunk of meat and savor it. Also got a pound of shrimp for family. I normally don't care too much for shrimp BUT I tried one anyways! It was actually delish! Plump and juicy and not fishy at all! And of course corn and potatoes a must! We also got Basil pasta, stir-fried veggies and rice. All very very good!

    Chef's Special
    Winn H.

    I visited Crab Avenue with a friend. Since we visited on a weekday afternoon, there weren't other customers at the time. We had their Chef's Special medium spicy, good for two. The shrimps that came with it were all shell-off, and it was like Jambalaya without the rice. The carb substitute was instead garlic bread - toasty - but a tad too charred, and five pieces for two. The Chef's Special was good, but if this is a signature, it definitely felt lacking. There was a modest amount of shrimp amongst a bed of veggies. (The plate was very large, and there really was just a single layer of shrimp and veggies.) Overall, service was great, but the food was not too impressive.

    It was our first time coming here. The server was really helpful and let us take our time ordering. He answered any questions we had and even gave us recommendations! He constantly checked if we needed anything and made sure we had a great experience. The food was delicious.Will definitely be coming back!

    We are visiting from Central Valley. And this place was really good. The portion seems bigger than it was. Fast and speedy service too.

    Great and speedy service! Cajun was really good and big portion. We got 3lbs of shrimp 3lbs of crawfish, and chicken Alfredo for the kids.

    The food was absolutely amazing--great quality and full of flavor. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and exceeded my expectations. You can really tell they put care into every dish. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience. The service was amazing too

    Fish & Sweet fries. Actually it's disrespectful to fish and chips to call this the same.
    Larry P.

    The steak was excellent and the shrimp boil was as well. The fish and chips were a frozen variety and not up to par with the other dishes we had. Also the calamari looked like onion rings and were not appetizing. Ive never seen calamari like that.

    First time here, and this place did not disappoint! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean ambiance[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . I am a very picky eater, and I loved the food here. Great seasoning. Alex is the BEST Server. Will be coming back soon.

    Cajun Snow Crab and Shrimp Plate
    Vanessa R.

    So much flavor in snow crab and shrimp Cajun plate! The Michelada was delicious also! Coming back here for date night again

    Crab station: snow crab legs, crawfish, easy peel shrimp, black mussels, corn, sausage, potatoes.

I was craving it last night and decided to take a chance. I ordered 1/2 pound of shrimp with the heads on, 1/2 pound of clams, 2 nobs of sweet corn and 3 pieces of red potatoes. I specifically asked for just spicy and no butter (to see if they were paying attention). I got exactly what I asked for and delivery was quick. Luckily, I have plastic gloves at home because it looked wonderfully messy. The spice level was definitely on pointe; very Asian level spicy (which is what I prefer). The only problem I had was that the shrimp are not deveined and/or left in clean water in order to empty their digestive tract. Kind of a bit unappetizing; I can put up with some but there was just too much and the shrimp was kind of mushy. It's sad because shrimp is my favorite. I took a picture of what I'm talking about. I hope they improve on this.

    Bloody hell -- Cajun Craving is the spot. I walked in expecting solid seafood. I walked out…read morewondering how the hell they haven't been handed a Michelin star already. Let's start with the Cajun shrimp: perfectly cooked, tender, and absolutely drenched in a sauce so flavorful it should come with a warning label. Not salty, not greasy -- just balanced, bold, and outrageously addictive. You taste it once and immediately know someone in that kitchen actually gives a damn. And the crab legs... my god. HUGE, sweet, and steamed to perfection. You crack into them and it's like opening a treasure chest -- except instead of gold, it's pure, buttery, Cajun-kissed heaven. Now the sausage -- whoever seasons that deserves a raise. It doesn't just sit in the bag like an afterthought. It has its own flavor, completely over the top in the best possible way. Smoky, spicy, rich... it punches through the boil like it's auditioning for its own dish. But the real sleeper hit? THE GREEN SAUCE. Off. The. Chain. A straight-up flavor knockout -- bright, herby, tangy, and absolutely lethal in the way good sauces should be. It elevates everything you dip it in. I could drink it. I won't -- but I could. The whole experience? Different -- but in that rare, memorable, "I need to come back tomorrow" kind of way. Cajun Craving is easily one of the best seafood boils in LA. No nonsense, no shortcuts, just pure, serious, crafted flavor. Five stars. Easy. Gordon Ramsay approved.

Because the wait time was too long for that, we decided to try The Dive Oyster Bar -- and man are we sure glad we did. We got a total of five items: a bowl of clam chowder, the soft shell crab appetizer, the roasta, the traditional pan roast with the house speciality protein (with the crab on the side because of my dad's crab allergy), and the jambalaya, which for the last three we ate with medium heat. We shared everything (except for the crab appetizer because, again, crab allergy for dad) and found the food to be delicious, with each entree coming out tasting better than the last. Personally, the roasta was my favorite with the pan roast as a close second. Very flavorful dishes with medium heat being a good level for us (wasn't spicy for our Korean palates). Service was great, our server (unfortunately forgot his name) was attentive and quick with our requests, and although he forgot a side of rice, it was for the best as the food had settled in our stomachs by then and we were content with what we ordered. The restaurant itself is well maintained with ample table space and appropriate lighting, though the music from the evening DJ was a tad bit too loud to hear from across the table. Not a big mood killer for us, though mostly because the good was that good. We're not from this area, so the odds of coming here again are relatively slim -- but should the opportunity present itself, it'll be more than fate this time to take us through these doors once again.

Especially if you want great gumbo and cornbread. Things to know: First off, the food is delicious. Second off, this place has an A rating for food inspection. The place is a registered business (or else you couldn't list yourself on Google Maps) Besides... you live in LA and have survived danger dogs. That A rating should help you feel relieved, either way. If not, the smile you receive as you get the food hopefully will. You have to go up a few stairs on the left to get to the spot. Don't worry, there's signs that'll tell you where it is. Parking situation is a rough during rush hour but you should be able to squeeze in the street. You get some beads with your food, which is cute. Sounds like a fun thing to get if you ordered delivery while you're drinking at home (or work) with friends. So yeah, the food is great. It's super well made. The quality is what I was hoping for from a place that specialized in gumbo. Much like how I would expect the ramen to be good when they serve nothing but ramen. 100% recommend getting the cornbread with the gumbo, btw. I totally ate most of it while I was driving home so I'd say I recommend getting extra. (they're conveniently bite sized. I couldn't help. Lol)
