    Get the family pack $43.99 as it's probably the best value. Also while it's the grand opening time you get corn and sausage in your family pack as part of your meal. As for service they need to up itself there. We had to constantly ask for water and soda refills which is quite annoying. If they see that a cup is low of fluids they should one around and refill it or at least check on us. The place is fairly big for many groups of eight. Great for large parties to enjoy family style food. They do have a TV and we're showing something music related. As for parking it's a fairly large parking lot so plenty of room. You get a bib, gloves, crab cracker as the crabs are not pre broken for you and scissors to get to all the nooks and crannies. Come check them out!

    Jumpin' Lobster was a good deal for $12.99 a lb! Came with a corn and a potato! Both were really good! Not mushy. We enjoyed the salt and pepper crab too. The place was not too busy so it was a good place to hang and catch up. Shrimp was big and fresh! Large open space and attentive service. Will definitely be back!

    I'm a big fan of seafood served straight from the bag on the table, so I was excited to try this place when it opened. We were seated immediately upon arrival. The food tasted good--we ordered the prawns with lemon pepper sauce, which were flavorful, though a bit more sauce would have made the dish even better. Parking is conveniently available within the plaza.

    We went on a Saturday afternoon. Plentiful parking, no wait, but a few other tables seated inside along with us. Space was decorated and clean. We ordered the shrimp and crawfish boil with mild boom sauce. Food came out hot, and the seafood was tasty and the meat bouncy and fresh. Prices are a lot more affordable than other cajun places, but I will say the sauce wasn't as good in comparison. Servers were friendly and attentive.

    We were craving for the Louisiana or Cajun food for Father's Day, so we tried the new place, Jumpin' Lobster, for the first time. We went to the one in Monterey Park, and they are relatively new, just opened a few months ago. It's located at a plaza on South Atlantic Blvd. They also have other locations in Alhambra (opened about a month ago) and Huntington Park. We were surprised that it was not crowded on Father's Day, maybe because of the location. It's pretty big inside, and the decor and atmosphere are welcoming. We were greeted by the ladies when we entered the restaurant. The food is very similar to Boiling Crab, but the price is more reasonable, and we don't need to wait for hours to be seated. We ordered the following: - Lobster Roll with seasoned fries ($27.99) - A Family Pack ($43.99) that you can choose 3 items: (Shrimp, Squid, Crawfish, Clam, Mussel, Blue Crab, Fried Tilapia, Snow Crab legs ($10 extra, max 1 lb) We picked Blue Crab, Mussel, and Fried Tilapia, and it was also served with 3 corns & 3 potatoes. - Butterfly Shrimp Basket with fries ($10.99), we picked sweet potato fries (for an extra $1) We all liked the ambiance and the ocean-themed decorations, and they also have TVs that we could watch the basketball games on. They also gave each of us a cute disposable Crab bib and gloves. The lobster roll - it had a lot of lobster meat with mayo spread on the brioche bun, and the lobster was delicious, but it had too much mayo. For the seasoned fries (we picked Cajun flavored), but it was lack of the Cajun flavor, so it wasn't spicy. (But it was good for me coz I cannot eat too spicy) The portion was good, though. For the Butterfly Shrimp Basket with Sweet potato fries, they gave us a lot of fried shrimp, and they were pretty good. We liked the sweet potato fries more than the Cajun flavored fries. Blue Crab, Mussel, and Fried Tilapia Family Pack Seafood Boil - It was about 3 lbs of seafood (each item about a pound), so it was enough for us, and we chose the Garlic Butter sauce. The corn was sweet and delicious with buttery garlic! 3 Potatoes were included, but they were pretty big. I wish the potatoes were smaller because they were a bit hard to eat. I had to cut them in half. Blue Crab was also fresh and good (I don't eat crab, but my family liked it). We asked for the crab claw crackers; however, they did not have much meat. The mussels and fried tilapia were very delicious, and my girls had a lot of fried tilapia, and it was a big fish. The service was attentive and great. We enjoyed our meal, and we may try the lobster pasta and other dishes next time.

    I've been here 3 times and they always served fresh seafood. Plus, you can eat in peace. The place is not crowded. Their service is good too. Also, hands down to their shrimps! Even as to go, it stayed firm, not mushy because I tried other cajun places, if I didn't finish and take it as to go, the shrimps go bad fast.

    I've visited Jumpin Lobster a couple times, and my family LOVES it! We always try different things on the menu so here are some notable items I really enjoyed: Lobster Pasta: I was blown away by this creamy pasta with fresh lobster! They give you large pieces of lobster that are steamed to perfection. The sauce for the noodles was extraordinary! 10/10 definitely my favorite item on the menu. Garlic Bread: buttery and savory. Crispy crust with a pillowy soft center. Goes so well as a side order. 10/10 Lobster Roll: Fresh lobster in a cream sauce spread on a buttered brioche bun. It comes with fries, but I do have to admit that the fries lacked a lot of seasoning and flavor. The cream sauce coating the lobster didn't stand out to me. However, for the price, the portion was definitely worth it! 7.5/10 Shrimp, Squid, & Snow Crab Legs Family Pack Seafood Boil with Garlic Butter: Enough to feed 2-3 people! I added sausage to my bag. I wish they used smaller potatoes as it was very large and hard to eat without cutting. The sauce was very buttery and flavorful! I loved how fresh the shrimp, crab legs, and squid were. Corn was sweet and sausage was very tasty. 8/10!! BBQ & Buffalo Wings: Also a very nice side item to enjoy! You can ask for ranch on the side too! 9/10 Veggie Noodle: savory and smooth vegetable noodles for only $6.99! Huge portion and was well seasoned! Definitely a nice dish to add in the case you are still feeling hungry or need some light carbs! 10/10!! Service is always top tier and the staff are always checking in to ensure that we are satisfied with the food. There's a lot of seating inside, and the decorations are so cute (sea life themed). I also appreciate how you can watch sports on their TVs inside (especially during playoff season!). Free parking in the parking lot. Overall, really enjoyed this place! My family and I will probably visit at least once a month!

    Outside. Epic dinner Sunday night. We saved the world

    Fun local place. Service was fast and flavor was good. I recommend the peeled shrimp instead of the shell-on shrimp. The original sauce was my favorite. The garlic sauce was good for the clams. Say hi the server Mellow. What an epic night protecting the city by eating seafood.

    This location has been our favorite since day one but as time has passed we have noticed changes In our last 3 visits. One day we went and they brought our boil in a plate vs the bag we were wondering why but we didn't say anything. I felt like it took away the fun out of the whole bag thing. These last 2 visits we noticed they give you very little sauce almost nothing in the bag. We have to order a side of sauce which they charge you $5. The bag we usually order is the family pack so it's fairly full of whatever we pick but with very little sauce. It is very disappointing. The service is not as it was before either. It's not horrible but it's not as attentive. :(

    Dang! The food here was great!! The service was unmatched, they had two young women running the show, and they had everything under control. My food came out fast, hot, and delicious, and my drink was never empty. The ambiance was seafood-themed with music videos playing (pretty sure they love The Weeknd, but who doesn't? lol). Overall, such a solid experience. I would definitely recommend this spot and will be returning!

    1lbs Shrimp with the boom sauce
    Vanna T.

    This place was very lackluster and not worth it. Ordered their lobster roll and 1lbs of shrimp in the boom sauce. The lobster roll didn't tasted good and had a weird flavor to it. The boom sauce wasn't flavorful either. Service was okay. It was pretty empty when we arrived. They're located inside the shopping plaza across from ELAC off Atlantic Blvd.

    Family feast with clams, shrimp, and crawfish
    Grace C.

    Wanted to try bag o crab but there was a hour long wait so this place showed up nearby within a 8-10 min drive. Seems like it is grand opening but not sure how long this restaurant has been open. Sat down and scanned the menu and placed the order through the QR code. Other tables got their menu fast but guess they forgot about us. The server was nice and came to apologize. Ordered the family feast with clams, shrimp, and crawfish with mild Cajun sauce. still did not feel full so placed another order of a pound of clams with mild Cajun sauce. I hate writing less than 3 star reviews. There was nothing wrong with the service but I think something must have not been fresh in the food because I ended up with a really bad stomachache and diarrhea after leaving the restaurant. No joke I was going in and out of the restroom for 1-2 hours straight. Not sure what happened maybe I have a sensitive stomach but due to this incident honestly not sure if I would be back again.

    We went in on a Saturday during lunch time and got seated right away, no wait list! Customer service was a 10/10 good music was playing, food was delicious! We got 1 pound of shrimp each with a side of rice the bill was less than $60 such good deal ! Definitely coming here agian

I also brought the Salmon Roll (more salmon) up to the counter in hopes they would allow me to substitute it for the Salmon Avocado Roll. No substitutions! Oh well. I also bought one jar of Furikake Nori for my eldest daughter. She loves that stuff. So do I. It was a quick visit for me. I heard they are planning to expand their marketplace to next door.

Love that this goes light on the mayo and that it has some mentaiko which I don't commonly see. They actually put in a decent amount of avocado too. The value is great. These are larger than the usual rolls. Tastes even better with a bit of wasabi and soy sauce. Maki: 8.5/10. Various Maki options. All good and fresh and good value. There are two ways to buy fish here - rolls that are made fresh and in the fridge, or the fish market where you can buy fish by the lb. I didn't buy the fish straight from the market, but I would definitely do that in the future. The market also sells a lot of other things that you'd normally find in Japan or Hawaii. It's next to Carl's Jr. Parking lot is easy to miss but that's okay because there are two ways to enter and lots of street parking. Free parking either way. No tables to sit at but that's okay.

The closest sushi spot I'd compare it to is Sushi Kisen (for sushi deluxe set not Omakase), and I'd say they're pretty on par in terms of quality. Omakase: Since there aren't many places offering omakase in the immediate area, this is a great option if you want to treat someone for a special occasion without having to venture far. I really liked the diversity of the menu and that the experience wasn't limited to just nigiri. Overall, a really solid neighborhood sushi spot that I've enjoyed enough to keep coming back considering if you don't want to drive far into LA for omakase.
