    Calamari
    Serena W.

    I got combo 3 with cajun seasoning as well as calamari with cajun fries. The flavor of all were really good. Unfortunately they were out of crawfish the night we went but I would come back next time for crawfish when they are available, probably earlier in the day. Service was friendly and not too loud inside which was nice.

    We were actually surprised by Crawfish Chef. The seafood boil, garlic noodles, fries, and calamari were all really good, and the staff were wonderful. It is definitely expensive, and the portions felt a little hit or miss, but we still had a great time. The alcoholic drinks weren't good, but the staff noticed, offered to remake them, and surprised us with a lychee soda that was delicious. I'd come back, just maybe after saving a little money first.

    Combo 6 and added king crab
    Sage M.

    My friends and I came on a Friday evening and were lucky enough to snag the last available table without a wait. We decided to go with Combo 6 and splurged by adding king crab for an additional $90. We chose the butter garlic sauce and ordered a side of hot sauce, both of which were delicious! Despite how busy they were, the food came out relatively fast. The service was excellent. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and seemed to anticipate exactly what we needed, bringing out napkins, extra limes, and tools before we even had to ask. Everything was served quickly, which was perfect since we arrived with empty stomachs. The restaurant itself is quite spacious, and there is plenty of parking since it is located in a shared complex with other stores. Overall, this is a great spot for a seafood boil with plenty of delicious options.

    Combo #2
    Selina H.

    The seafood boil here is delicious! I got the combo #2 which came with shrimp, mussels, corn, potatoes. Highly recommend the house sauce! It was garlicky and so flavorful. The fried oysters were on the tinier side but still pretty tasty. The portions were generous and the seafood didn't taste old. The servers are very friendly! They checked in on us often and was also the one to recommend the house sauce :) Overall a solid place to go for seafood boil

    Garlic bread

    This place have been on my list for a while, but the hours never seem to fit with my timing. We finally had a chance to check this place out and it didn't disappoint. We came during lunch time and it was pretty empty. One of the critique for me is the strong incense smell they going. It's pretty strong and it's bothersome until the food comes out. The lady who helped us was pretty nice. She offered to give us more lime and sauces when we were running low on it. Food wise: Combo 2: shrimp and mussels. We had the option to choosing headless or head-on. The vag also came with 2 pieces of corn and 2 potatoes. The seafood was plump and juicy. The sauce was to die for. I wish they gave us at least one more potato and corn though. We also got a piece of garlic bread - pretty eh. We ordered the garlic noodle kids meal for our little ones as to -go and the portion was very generous. For $9, you get a hefty amount of noodles and fries and a drink. The noodles were good and the fries were fresh. I love that they were cautious with our it was packed as well. We even took home some leftover sauce because it was Soo yummy. Prices were pretty reasonable for what you get Overall, definitely one of the best seafood boil I been to and will definitely be back.

    My No.1 go-to Cajun seafood place in Bellevue. I like super spicy, so I always order their off menu 25 spicy level. They also have choices of fried chicken wings, fried rice. Recommend not frozen crawfish, shrimp, crabs. I like the house source best. recommend sweet potato fries Their service is great, parking is convenient and free.

    My family and I LOVE this place. We've been coming for over a year, and this is our favorite go-to place for seafood boils. I highly recommend the house sauce, mild or medium spice. Their seafood is always fresh, and it never disappoints. The place is nice and roomy, not stuffy or smelly. The staff has always been super friendly and attentive to our needs. We've been to a LOT of seafood boil places around the Seattle area, and this is definitely the top spot. The service and, more importantly stuff.....the food is consistent every time. If you plan to come during dinner time midweek or the weekend, call in advance. I believe they take reservations, so it's best to prepare yourselves. We've been there before when the wait was over two hours long.

    Definitely a fun experience! I would rate this a 3.5/5 I've done seafood boils before (the crab pot) but it had been a while and we wanted to try again! I split the combo #9 with four people and it was a pretty good amount of food, but we were still able to go out and get a dessert after so it wasn't overly filling. I'll start by saying that a lot of waste is produced here. Almost every item is single use (cups, table cloth, bibs, paper plates, plastic ramekins, paper side holder). I totally get that items covered in butter are hard to clean but it is unfortunate that mostly everything touched by a customer gets thrown away. For the food, we did the combo 9 with mild Cajun seasoning. The spice level was true to mild with almost no spice at all. The food itself was just okay to me. It didn't have too much flavor and I wasn't a huge fan of the way the clams tasted and I usually enjoy clams. My favorites in the combo were probably the crab, shrimp, potatoes, and mussels. The rest was again, just alright. In the combo 9, be aware that most of the portion is crawfish, so if you don't like them I wouldn't recommend that specific combo. The food also got cold extremely fast, like within 5 minutes of it hitting the table. I don't think that's the restaurant's fault but just something to be aware of. For the service, it was also just okay. Our waitress took our order and came back twice to ask how we were doing and if we wanted water. They don't serve utensils other than scissors with the meal so make sure to ask if you need them. They gave us paper boats with limes and plastic ramekins with a pinch of seasoning in each of them but they didn't explain to us what was going on with the ramekins so I felt like we missed out on whatever that was supposed to be. None of us had been since we were kids so we felt very new to the experience, so I would recommend either asking lots of questions or going to a place that will explain everything to you if you have never been before. Overall it was a fine experience. Fun to do it at least once but I wish there had been a little more excitement to the meal. One thing I appreciate at the crab pot is it feels a lot more like a whole experience rather than just food.

    Combo 1 mild

    This was such a great night for me, ate out with one of my good friend who is also a seafood boil lover! Lol so I practically came with an expert, she got the combo 2 medium spice and the service was super quick and I was very much surprised by that I mean we walked in got sat and got a couple min to look at the menu then boom they get your order and I would say it took less than 10 min for our food to come out! Seriously our server was the sweetest and she was very helpful and always checked if we were ok. The ambiance of the place is actually big when you look from the outside your not expecting much but to my surprise it's the opposite. Great place, good price, and great service!

    Came across this seafood boil after watch a TikTok on it and was named one of the top 5 in Seattle. Ordered Combo C and swapped the shrimps with mussels with butter garlic sauce. The sauce was delicious and it paired well with my side ordered garlic bread. Since it did not come with sausages, I added one for $6. The seafood came out quick, hot, fresh and delicious. Definitely return! The half dozen oysters tasted fries but pricy at $30. The garlic noodle was tasty as well but wish it was more saucy. The service was fast and friendly. Plenty of storefront parking, The dining area was clean and bright. Love their big televisions showing Asian culinary shows.

    Everything about the experience was a 10/10! The food is a bit pricey compared to some other places but the size of the shrimp and crab leg makes up for it. You're definitely getting what you paid for. The seasoning was a good combination of flavors and the crab legs and shrimp we got were sweet and cooked well. The servers were kind and attentive. I liked that they give you scissors because sometimes you need a good pair but you can also ask for the typical cracker. The place is well lit, clean, and simply decorated with lots of TVs. If you're in the area and want some seafood boil, I would recommend giving it a try!

    It was busy when I visited and I can see why. The seasoning for the seafood boil is flavorful and the seafood tastes fresh; no freezer taste or scent at all. They offer a variety of combinations with different types of shellfish. The servers were great. There were only three of them but they were attentive and checked on us frequently, even when the restaurant is busy and packed with customers.

    Crawfish, shrimp, and sausage
    Souporn H.

    Was very confused as to why there was no line when they opened! Everyone was sweet and helpful. I happened to see that they had a lot of take out placed within the hour we were there. The seafood was great! It hit all the right spots. I left with a belly full.

    Is there an option to not get the seafood in a plastic bag that looks like the plastic particles are melted into the food?

    Is the crawfish live or frozen before cooking?

I have to unfortunately knock off the stars/taste because the rice I got was literally the worst rice I've ever had touching raw fish. The rice was like hard and stale. I even had a clump that looked like it was the burnt part from leaving it on the cooker for too long and it couldn't bite it. I know this place is for the fish, but there's a bare minimum expectation on rice quality. And the fish itself was good? Maybe cuz it's the poke and not the omakase (so mixed chopped pieces) but there were pieces that tasted super fresh and delicious and then there were pieces that had so much tendon I couldn't bite through it. The folks there were super nice and friendly especially since I had no idea what to order. Just wish I was more delighted by the meal, especially cuz it was like $18 poke bowl. I'll give it another try with hopes it's better next time.
