The seafood here is really fresh. The crab add-on is a great deal. If you have kids the mild is still a bit spicy. I suggest no spice. HAPPY CRABING!!

They have mala as part of the sauce. I requested for everything but mala with mild spicy. Didnt realize that mild spicy would still have mala in it. Would get no spicy as i am not a fan of mala for seafood boils. For every pound, you get 1 corn and 1 potato. I think the crawfish are in season right now because they were pretty big. It also seems like they use jumbo shrimp. Clams seem like it is over 1 lb too because at other places they give you half that amount. Wouldn't get fries next time because i got too many potatoes. And the potatoes were not small. Service was a little slow but it might be because there isnt enough workers. But they still got things done. Would come back though.

Service is fast but sometimes they forget to bring me utensils or my rice but the $50 deal with snow crab clusters is the best deal so I always come back because the portions are worth it. I think it has less of a garlicky taste like most seafood boil places and more of an Asian flavor if that makes sense but still super yummy and hits the spot when I'm craving seafood boil and don't want to wait long or spend too much.

I found this place by accident, and I'm glad I did. The service was good and the food was delicious! Great value and service. I'll definitely be back again.

Another seafood boil restaurant on Main st? Yay! I love seafoods so for sure gotta try it out. When we arrived, there was only one party inside. Kinda scary lol we still ordered. The family pack with the add on of snow crab legs for an additional $10 was the way to go. DO NOT ORDER THE CRAB LEGS BY ITSELF. I didn't notice the price until the bill came out. It was close to $40 for like 1 1/2 - 2 clusters only. Better off getting another family pack with the add on. They have a few flavors to choose from. We ordered the original Cajun which was the garlic & lemon mixed for both bags. However, they ended up giving us "The Boom" for the family pack. It was basically a mixture of all the sauces. We didn't choose it in the first place because it included the numbing sauce. We didn't tell them since it wasn't that bad. Not that spicy. I enjoyed the original Cajun more. It was so flavorful!! The side of fried rice was a good deal. It had the wok flavor. That was a plus =] Service was good. I don't mind returning =] their crab legs were fresh and the size was good. Hope it stay that way.

Decided to give this place a try since Boiling Crab was going to be a 100+ min wait. Got the family pack - shrimp, crawfish and snow crab (+$10)! Shrimp was ok, crawfish were juice and the snow crab was absolutely worth the upgrade! It also came with boiled eggs, potato and corn. We got the mild original cajun sauce and it did have a bit of a kick. Service was friendly!

Stopped by The Jumping Lobster on Main Street after driving by--it's been around for a minute so we finally decided to give it a try. They had a deal going on for $12.99 per pound on the shrimp seafood boil, which caught our attention. We ordered 2 pounds of the seafood boil, a large side of rice, garlic bread, and Cajun fries. The garlic bread was nothing special--pretty mid. The white rice, though, was actually really good. The seafood boil itself was decent, but nothing that really stood out. One thing that stood out (not in a good way) was the sauce--they were very stingy with it. I had to order an extra side because my boil wasn't saucy enough, and they do charge extra for that. Overall, I'd give it a 7/10. The aesthetics and portion sizes were solid, but there's definitely room for improvement, especially with the sauce.

This is a fun spot to visit on Main Street. Parking in the back is easy. This is why I love eating in Alhambra. The interior is bright and cheerful. The staff are friendly and helpful. They offer a decent beer selection and you get plenty of food for your money! Great place for a casual date, a meal with the family, or just hanging with friends. We started with the butterfly shrimp with Cajun fries. The shrimp were big and everything was fried perfectly. We also ordered the seafood family pack with the original Cajun sauce. You get to pick three seafood items. We chose shrimp, crab legs and fried tilapia. It also comes with corn on the cob and potatoes (literally three big boiled potatoes), boiled eggs, and sausage. For the sauce, you pick the heat level. We went with mild and it had a good kick. The food was a little on the salty side, so be prepared to wash it down with lots of water or beer. Next time I want to order mussels and add a side of steamed rice to break up the flavor a little. It's a messy meal, but you get bibs and gloves and they cover your table with butcher paper, so clean up is a snap. It was so much food and there was plenty to take home! We'll be back.

Came here to try Lobster Pasta and it was delicious. the serving size was just right. Pasta with soda and tip is around $40 . The place has very nice decors and Instagram worthy . I will definitely try the lobster roll and shrimp Boil. There was no wait and service was fast,

Finally got the chance to try Jumpin' Lobster over the weekend. Hubby & I had only walked by and got some to-go menus to look at previously. It seems like they got rid of their sushi/omakase and are mainly focusing on their seafood boil. I was a bit worried about it being directly across the street from a popular staple for Cajun seafood boil, but their "The Boom (Mix 'em All)" seasoning was really unique AND might I even say I enjoyed it more than the competitor across the street! Oh ho ho! I love that they give out lime wedges, bibs and gloves automatically. I was told their "Original Cajun" is a combination of cajun, lemon butter, and garlic butter seasoning (more-so the usual cajun seafood boil mix); and their "The Boom (Mix 'em All)" also contains a Sichuan Mala, which you can definitely taste and was really good. Hubby & I both enjoyed. We ordered 1 lb. of Shrimp & 1 lb. of Crawfish. Surprisingly, the crawfish was fresher than the shrimp. We'll come back just for this which crawfish is still in season in the summer. Some of the shrimp was difficult to peel, so we felt like it must a bit older... But I do like that all boils come with 1 Corn and 1 Potato. I just don't know if they count that towards the pound weight... We also ordered the Jumpin' Lobster Specialty Lobster Roll. It was pretty good and comes with Cajun fries, but I don't know if I'd order again. They have fountain sodas and some Beers and Sojus from what I recall. Restaurant space is open and clean with sea animals strewn over their walls. I think they could probably utilize making some lunch specials or maybe even a happy hour menu to utilize the nice Japanese-style bar in the back. Restrooms are clean. Service was fairly quick. They have their own parking lot (shared with Rick's burger / 38°), or you park at any of the lots over by First Street and walk over. Will be back again :)

This place finally opened! I was glad to see a new shrimp boil place in the neighborhood besides the across the street crab spot. Loved the decor, very colorful clean and fun. The servers were amazing, friendly and extra attentive. There's a large variety of menu items to choose from; Shrimp boil, Chinese, sushi rolls and more. We ordered the shrimp boil and some sushi rolls, everything tasted good but would've preferred a stronger cajun taste, less buttery and more spice flavor in the shrimp boil. I still like the idea of the food variety so will return to try other items and hopefully improved cajun shrimp boil taste.

Finally got to try Jumpin' Lobster, the new seafood spot in the neighborhood that we've been eyeing for a while. With so many great food options in Alhambra, seafood fans usually head straight to Boiling Crab across the street--but that place always has a crazy long wait. So it was a pleasant surprise to be seated right away at Jumpin' Lobster, especially with our party of six already gathered. The restaurant has a large, clean interior with plenty of seating, and the decor is fun and modern, fitting the seafood boil vibe. There were two women working the floor, and they were both super polite and attentive--no rushing, no pressure, just solid service all around. The menu really surprised me. I expected your standard lobster and seafood boil options, but this place has egg rolls, noodles, chicken tenders, ribs, and more. Definitely not a one-trick pony. Here's what we ordered: - I went with the Jumpin' Lobster Special - the lobster roll with sweet potato fries. No regrets there. - Miori got the 1 lb of peeled shrimp, which was great because she didn't have to mess with shells. - Our son went for the butterfly shrimp basket with Cajun fries--a solid pick. - Our friends ordered a variety of items, and everyone at the table was happy with their food. A larger party came in while we were eating and asked us how the food was--we gave them the thumbs up, especially since getting seated quickly is already a win compared to the usual seafood spots nearby. There's also plenty of parking in the lot behind the restaurant, which makes it super convenient for larger groups or family outings. Loved the plastic gloves and bibs they provided--kept the mess to a minimum and made cleanup easy. Highlights: - Seated immediately (huge bonus compared to Boiling Crab) - Wide, unexpected menu with something for everyone - Friendly, attentive service with zero rush - Clean space with nice decor and plenty of seating - Ample parking in the back - Loved the gloves and bibs for the seafood experience If you're craving seafood in Alhambra and want a more relaxed, quicker alternative to Boiling Crab, Jumpin' Lobster is absolutely worth checking out. We'll definitely be back to try more from the menu.
