Where do I even start? A few weeks back I was craving a Cajun seafood boil and my husband found…read moreThe Crab Shack on Yelp. He liked the ratings and reviews, so we decided to give it a shot. First of all, we were greeted with a very warm welcome. They were playing good music. Cool spot to say the least. The food did not disappoint. It was just the right spice level and I have to say very generous portions. Iim really going to say this...It's better than Stinking Craw (and I like them)but, The Crab Shack is fire. Today, I was craving it again and my husband brought some home and again it did not disappoint. Great food and service. Must try.

I am on a search for great shrimp and grits, and a good friend recommended Stinkin Crawfish. When…read moremy order arrived, the shrimp and grits looked ordinary--not quite what I am used to--but the flavor definitely surprised me. The dish was flavorful and delicious. I also ordered the calamari, which arrived hot, crispy, and very good. My only disappointment was that the food was served in a to-go bowl with plastic utensils. I actually cut my lip on the plastic soup spoon, so that took away from the overall dining experience. However, the food itself was excellent, and I enjoyed everything I ordered. The service was also exceptional!!!! I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Loved that we found a place open late enough to get food after the BTS concert. Almost everyone in…read morethe restaurant came from the concert and it was PACKED. With that said, we were really hungry and it took them 30 minutes to get the food out. The good thing is that when we finally were able to eat, we enjoyed the food so much! Everything was delicious! We had the kimchi fried rice, clam soup, seafood pasta and tteokbokki with cheese. My least favorite was the tteokbokki because it was wayyyyy soupy and not as much tteok. I still rate them 5 stars because I know they were just slammed with customers that night. I'll be back for more! Plus their pricing is very reasonable!

Hard to find steamed egg in the Gardena / Torrance / Carson area, but 88 Pocha had it. That's why…read morewe came! It's in Pacific Square Shopping Center, a strip mall. Busy, and the parking-lot roads are rough -- go slow. The spot itself is cool. More hangout than eat-and-run. Wide open space, signed art on the walls (had fun seeing if AI could translate the Korean), and a button on the table to call the server. Love that they open late. We went Sunday 8/30/2026 and they were open until midnight. We got the steamed egg, fried dumplings, and bibimbap. Steamed egg was excellent, with a little seasoning on top. Dumplings came with 10 -- awesome. Bibimbap was delicious, but I like it better in a stone bowl. This one cooled off faster than I wanted. We'll be back when we want to sit and take our time. We left after 45 minutes and the tables that were there before us were still going. Definitely a hangout spot!

Had dinner at Eddie V's and started with the Wagyu dumplings. They were a great appetizer and had a…read morereally nice flavor. They also bring out complimentary bread and butter, which was a nice touch while waiting for the rest of the meal. I also ordered the Caesar salad. It was fresh, crisp, and a good lighter option before the main course. For the main course, I went with the 22 oz bone in ribeye cooked medium rare. The steak was the highlight of the meal. It was cooked exactly how I wanted it, with a nice seared exterior and a tender, flavorful center. For the side, I got the lobster mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were creamy and rich, and the lobster added another layer of flavor that paired really well with the steak. The hospitality was amazing. Kept asking how was everything. Kept refilling water. Great staff. Overall, everything from the appetizers to the steak and sides made for a really good dinner. The 22 oz bone in ribeye with the lobster mashed potatoes was definitely my favorite combination. I'll definitely be back to Eddie V's.

September 12, 2026 , I had been looking forward to dining at your establishment for many years and…read moremade a reservation for 4:00 PM. As a first-time guest, I was pleased to be shown to a quiet, elegant area of the dining room that seemed well suited to an upscale dinner. Shortly after being seated, however, the server learned that I intended to order one of your signature dishes. The manager on duty, Nick, then asked me to relocate to a table near the bar. That area was considerably louder and far less comfortable than the table where I had been seated. Being moved to such a noisy location detracted from what I had expected to be a refined, relaxed meal and made it difficult to enjoy both the food and drinks. For future reference, I would expect that guests ordering signature or higher-priced menu items be accommodated in an environment consistent with the restaurant's upscale positioning. I was informed the only way I could sit in the scale, elegant area of the restaurant if I decided to order something different off the menu. It's almost like I was being told what to order. I didn't appreciate that. I was also disturbed by the way the server handled the gratuity. The interaction felt pushy and made me uncomfortable; I did not appreciate that approach. Professional, tactful communication about service and payment is essential, especially in a fine-dining setting, and this encounter fell short of that standard. Finally, I was disappointed by the overall value of the experience. Despite spending a significant amount, the service and portioning -- in particular two small scoops of lobster served over bread -- did not meet the expectations I had for an establishment of your reputation and price point. I am sharing this feedback because I had high hopes for my visit and was ultimately let down. I would welcome your response addressing these concerns and any steps you plan to take to prevent similar experiences for other guests. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, TSR ‍

I walked in about 15 minutes after they opened, and the restaurant was pretty empty. I had to use…read morethe restroom, and unfortunately, it was completely dirty. The trash was overflowing, the toilet seat covers were smashed into the inserts, and there was paper all over the floor. Bathroom: 1/5. I sat down, and the menus were already on the table. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to order, so we started with a lemonade and a tea. We ordered the Clobster roll with fries, and I ordered the Connecticut Style lobster roll with no fries and a side salad. The side salad with ranch dressing definitely hit the spot! Unfortunately, the Cajun shrimp roll didn't do it for me. It needed more flavor and mostly tasted like mayo. After two bites, I decided not to eat it and gave it to my son. He enjoyed his meal, though! I also ordered another lobster roll to go, along with a soda and fries, for a friend of mine who works down the street at the barbershop. I was also gifted a juice and a huge cookie, which was a nice touch! If there's one thing I'd change, it would definitely be the bathroom. Other than that, I enjoyed the TVs, the overall look and feel of the place, the area, and especially the guitars and décor. Those details really gave the restaurant some character. Would I come back? Yes -- but I'd definitely try something different next time. Thank you, Rudy! Overall rating: 3.8/5

Now, one year later, the tables are full and the waitlist is even longer. Thankfully, we joined the waitlist 1.5 hours before eating and ran some errands before being called. This is the normal experience The Boiling Crab, and a well earned experience at that. The food continues to be stellar and consistent with the locations in the OC. The shrimp, oysters, clams, fries with crab meat has made our tummies full and content. The whole shebang is the way to go. The staff themselves is aplenty. This place, like all locations are not short on staff. As a result, the service is quick and efficient. Combined with a Cajun seafood atmosphere and sports games on every television, Boiling Crab continues to be the solid seafood place I have enjoyed all these years.

The snow crab, crawfish, mussels, and shrimp were incredibly fresh. Compared to Boiling Crab, their sauce is thicker and richer in flavor. The Medium heat was just right for us, but it might be a bit too spicy for others. We also ordered the Lobster fries, which really balanced the heat from the sauce--a perfect match! For drinks, we got strawberry and mango lemonade, and while both were great, my daughter loved the mango. The place is clean and has a great atmosphere. I'm definitely planning to come back.
