What a hidden gem! Very fast and friendly service. We split the #3 Seafood Boil and it was fantastic! Will definitely be returning!

Went here for the second time to celebrate my mom's birthday. We enjoyed the fried crawfish and fried pickles off of the happy hour menu. My mom had a Moscow Mule and I had a margarita. They were both five dollars on happy hour special and apps were half price! Our drinks were really good and we enjoyed the crawfish as it was something different that we hadn't tried before. The fried pickles were the normal type out of a jar fried pickles-they were served hot and with dipping sauce, but nothing special. We each got a seafood boil. I had the black muscles, snow, crab, legs, and shrimp with the Cajun sauce. Mom got shrimp clams, and Dungeness crab and garlic butter sauce. I have to say I'm very impressed with the garlic butter sauce. It had a load of fresh chopped garlic and was very tasty. The Cajun sauce was fine, but next time I think I will get the mixed garlic butter and Cajun and I think that will be perfect. the seafood was well prepared and delicious. The potatoes were well cooked, my one complaint is the corn on the cob was very soggy and not much flavor. We had dessert there as well., she had the tiramisu and I had the Keylime pie. note- they have no coffee to have with dessert. Both desserts came out, looking beautiful, but they literally drizzled chocolate sauce all over my Keylime pie. It was attractive, but tasted bad and I scraped it off the best I could. So pro tip have them hold the choc sauce! Overall a fun meal and we will return. read more

Been here 3 times now, once for carryout twice for delivery. I'll let my repeat visits speak broadly vs going into all the individually ordered items. Overall great seafood selection including sushi and the big "boil bags" with seafood medleys. The staff here is super nice from seating to serving to cleaning. It is the only place I've literally seen servers run (and not when something is on fire/breaking), they really care about service and speed. COVID note: Some employees have masks, others don't. Our server did. It's a good mix of safety and back to normality IMO. Some minor dings but not enough to remove 5*: * The sushi menu is sometimes not well described. If you want sushi but are a novice be prepared to ask questions (or maybe look stuff up on phone, etc). * I would not say this place is $$ as yelp currently denotes. I'd say it's $$$ maybe $$$$. Especially in the area it's in. Perhaps it's $$ for seafood or I just eat at expensive places. * The second time we were there, there was one employee who just seemed to be lurking in various areas of the restaurant and not working. We suspected he was in training (one of the people I was with knows the owners and it wasn't them) but was noticably awkward. * The poboy was so full of meat it overwhelmed the bread and collapsed the sandwhich. This might be annoying to some, didn't bother me ;p read more

Absolutely amazing and fresh food every single time I come in. The staff are so polite!! And the food comes out very quick. I recommend this place to everyone because I've never been disappointed! read more

Oh we are full and happy! This place has great customer service and delicious food! We came for lunch and ordered the ocean platinum, ocean 3, and unagi. Everything came to perfection. Our lovely server even showed my father in law tips on how to easily peel his shrimp and placed a bib on him to keep his shirt clean. read more

This place is KILLIN the food game on the south side of Lansing, and I hope business picks up enough that they can stick around for a good long time. , read more

Overall it was very good. Their boils include headless shrimp, but you need to peel them yourself. I didn't know this and the first bite wasn't pleasant and peeling them when full of sauce and butter is a slippery mess. Although they were real good after you did that. When we were seated, we we given menus and a drink list with beers and mixed drinks that they do. Athough, I ordered a Sangria (which was on the list) and I was told that no one there knows how to make it. read more

As much as I'd like for this place to succeed, everything tastes the same. At least, with the crab. They clearly cook it all in the same water and you can't tell one crab from another from the corn in flavor. And it wasn't an amazing flavor to me. It makes me weary to want to try anything else they have there for fear of disappointment read more

The only thing I wish is that they stayed open later. I've ordered through DoorDash a few times, and it slaps.

Looking for crawfish and uniqueness; found both plus deliciousness!!! I ordered .5 lb crawfish, broccoli & sausage with garlic butter& Cajun flavor with medium spice. The garlic was fresh in chunks, butter & Cajun flavor sauce so good I wanted to drink it like soup. Broccoli was fresh & entire dish was incredible. No liquor license right now but they expect it in the future. Server gave excellent advice & showed me how to shell the crawfish. read more

King Ocean Crab - Crawfish, fresh broccoli, sausage with Cajun, garlic butter flavor & medium spice. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

Unusual combination of sushi and New Orleans menu items. If you like seafood you can probably find something here for you. The Cajun seasonings tend to be on the mild side, so don't shy away from trying them if you don't like really spicy food. read more

Came here for my birthday, it was our first time here, and so glad I did! It was delicious. We ordered a few sushi rolls to start and then the ocean juicy crab boil. I got mild spice and my hubby got no spice, and boy was mine spicy! I really liked it though. Love that they give you bibs and gloves. They are truly necessary! read more

Love this place! The seafood is fresh, delicious and well prepared! Always excellent and friendly service! Very clean.

Wow!!! What amazing service, our server Tracy went above and beyond our expectations!! We found the restaurant on our way to Harbor Springs and boy were we surprised! Food was superb, I make my own boils and my son said these are better than mine drinks were delish and I'm a critic when it comes to my margaritas ! I recommend over and over again. If I could it would be 10 read more

Service was fucking amazing, service was incredible, the ambience is a bit copy and paste but the restaurant as a whole is a great spot, the price isn't crazy for the amount of food you get either. Don't be cheap and get some good seafood. read more

I saw a fellow Elite member's review of The Ocean Crab and decided to make a trip to check it out last weekend. We went for the sushi this time and will be back for the seafood boil next time. We tried six rolls and all of them were pretty good. Some were a little rice heavy, and others could have used a little cucumber for some crunch, but there wasn't one roll that we said we wouldn't order again. The rolls we tried in order of most favorite to least were the Crunchy Jalapeño, Sweetheart, Ocean, Volcano, Red and White, and Lobster Tango. I thought the presentation was nice and most of the rolls were a decent size for the price. I also thought the ginger was excellent here. It wasn't too dry and it wasn't overly spicy. Our server Kacey (spelling?) was great and her and the owner(?) stopped by to give us a lesson on how to properly use chopsticks. I've definitely been doing it wrong my whole life! All-in-all, we had a good experience and can't wait to try the boil next time! **For the scoop on local sushi options, bookmark my Collection "Greater Lansing Sushi"!** read more

I stopped in with my daughter after my son's move in day at MSU. We had the Ocean Platinum Sea food boil with Ocean Juicy sauce at hot level. It came with 2 lobster tails, two 4-leg halves of snow crab, a pound of shrimp, corn on the cob and potatoes. It was absolutely delectable beyond measure! Rarely have I ever felt such satisfaction and contentment after a meal. Then we moved on to dessert! We both had the key lime pie, which was tart, lemony and balanced perfectly by the crispy graham cracker crust. Delicious! If you EVER have the opportunity to try this GEM of a restaurant, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE! Ask for our friendly and helpful waitress, Savanna. She'll take good care of you and you'll LOVE the Ocean Platinum sea food boil! read more

Great seafood!! The family and I will definitely be back. The place is very clean, the staff is very friendly. Our waitress had a great sense of humor. We got one of their seafood boils and it emwas killer with great seasoning . Really happy with the whole experience. read more

Giving this place a 5 star based on our server/service - Tracy. She anticipated our needs before we even knew we had them. She was welcoming, fun, and explained the whole menu and how each part of it suited each of our tastes. She broke our separate bills up as "teams" and talked about how special each teams order was to the chef. She recommended her favorites while asking questions to see how we like food prepared. Even after our bills were delivered she refilled our drinks and even brought out new cups because ours were filthy from the boil. She made the cutest desserts for us and laughed with us about her garnishes. I've never seen a more efficient, caring server in all of my life. Thank you tracy - You've truly elevated what a dining experience should be, and anyone who goes to this restaurant should request you. read more

Stuffed crab cakes on point!! That's my main go to when i visit this gem in south lansing..

Had dinner yesterday and everything was amazing! My husband and I had the Ocean platinum boil and it was so good, tender lobster, and very flavorful shrimp and crab. Our son and daughter in law had the shrimp and catfish baskets. Very light batter and fried to perfection! The hush puppies and crab cakes were excellent appetizers. Our waitress Tracy was not only kind and pleasant, but a wealth of information and suggestions. This was our first time here and her suggestions were all on point. She suggested what flavors for our boil and why, and answered every question with so much knowledge. We definitely will be back! One of the best places to dine in Lansing, read more

We love this place! The staff is always friendly and they offer great seafood & sushi.

Service & Food Is Amazing, But My Favorites is The Cooked Sushi. The "Crunchy Jalapeño & Golden Shrimp" Absolute Fav.

Amazing food and they have a very caring staff! They also offer gluten free options..

We went back for the sushi. It was absolutely amazing and they have very unique dishes!! I would Definitely recommend the unique spin on jalapeño poppers with crab meat or the salad with shredded crab and avocado with a lite citrus dressing. These items are not on the menu, but you can ask for them!! The popcorn shrimp are huge and hand breaded. All of the drinks are amazing from the sangria to the cold sake! Once, again Tracy the bartender is awesome!! Also, believe it or not their wings are amazing too!! They have no breading on them and get the ocean juicy seasoning! read more

Had Dinner here with my daughter Victoria this Holiday weekend. This is a HIDDEN TREASURE in Lansing. Great food, atmosphere, excellent & friendly staff. Sam, the Chef, personally came over after we inquired about a positive review about crab jalapeño poppers, which were not on the menu & however, he made them for us. Sooo good....we told him they should be on the menu permanently. Fingers crossed, he will take our name suggestion "Tori Popper's". Either way, we will be back. Thank you for the great experience!! :) :) read more

This was our first time coming here. I was hesitant to come here because the south side of Lansing isn't the most outstanding side of town. With that being said, the food was amazing! The waiter was great, the facilities were extremely clean, and the food was incredible. Definitely recommend the firecracker (stuffed jalapeños) for an appetizer and the sushi rolls! My friend got the fried tilapia and said she loved it!! Definitely worth trying! read more

Wow this place was great, food was perfect, place was clean and service was really good
