I wonder if anyone even notices restaurants like these don't clean the shrimp? That dark black line you're eating is the shrimp's intestinal tract. There's shrimp ZHIT in there. That's not good eats, bro... if they don't clean it, I don't eat it. read more

Maybe it's good taste for other Asian. It's spicy but not right flavor for Chinese. If you expect real Chinese food, don't try. If you just miss some Chinese flavor, not a bad idea to have a try. I recommended. read more

Very delicious cajun shrim, flavor is definitely one of a kind!! Cajun fries are the absolute best, so fresh and crunchy. Definitely coming back again read more

Service was great but the food was not good at all. I've been to plenty boiling crab type restaurants and never have i had raw garlic just thrown in tHe bag read more

Ordered delivery from Star Crab. What a rip-off!! Extremely expensive. The menu showed a photo of the snow crab and it had corn and potatoes with the snow crab. They charged $15 and change for what they called favorites. Then when you select the entree snow crab its an additional $12. When it was delivered, no potatoes or corn. There were two small snow crab clusters that had 3 legs on it. We ordered two orders of the snow crab. We added 1 order of gumbo for $8.50. It was not quite a cup of soup. Almost $100 for dinner for two. The sad part was there was only enough food for one!!!! Never again!!! read more

First time coming tonight! My husband and I were beyond pleased with everything! Our server was so friendly and nice! We asked for a Michelada and it was one of the best I ever had! I had Cajun mild shrimp and scallops and it was delicious! Very happy with everything! Will definitely be coming back read more

I ordered one pound of snow crab and all I got in my bag was one cluster. All other seafood boil places bag two clusters. I feel like the price is not worth it. read more

First time there and the food was good. I totally forgot to take any pictures because the food smelled so good I could not resist. The waiter made frequent visits to our table to make sure we did not need anything. Good food, good service, fair prices. Definitely coming back. read more

Beware of squirting limes. Lol read more

This is my spot to get Cajun crap and shrimp. The portions are perfect and the sauce is delicious. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is very chill. read more

Really good customer service the flavor to the mild is good but in my personal opinion nothing beats boiling crab

This place is amazingly delicious. I will never wait an hour or more at the boiling crab. This place is so much better! I got the shrimp and green mussels full house style. So fucking gooooodddd! Their micheladas are bomb! Will definitely come here again and recommend to friends. read more

My parents tried The Star Crab a few months back and fell in love with it... they took me a few weeks later and I fell in love with it. Let me start off by saying, the service is amazing !! Steve the manager/ owner is very welcoming. He never fails to greet us with a smile. The food is very delicious, the portions are very generous, and the food overall is fairly priced. 10/10 would recommend!!! read more

Pleasantly surprised with this neighborhood gem. Decided to "yelp it" saw the good reviews and decided to try it. What I liked about it was that it offered unpeeled shrimp and gloves if you don't like your fingers getting "saucy". Shrimp, clams, mussels, lobster a variety of sides and different heat levels on their sauces. Rosie, our server, was nice and explained the eating experience since this was our first time eating at a place like this. A variety of beers are also available. Family friendly. read more

Food was very delicious I got green mussels, and got medium spice sauce, and The sauce i got was the one that was all mixed together, it was a little salty but still very good. I got the Cajun fries and you definitely get a lot enough fries for 2 people. The michelada there was good. My order came out to about $34 not bad truthfully, would definitely go back. The place is pretty spacious. read more

Food was great and I like that were given scissors. They serve more rice here than at boiling crab as well. read more

Been here a few times and would totally recommend, it's a type of boiling crab, kicking crab etc establishment. The food is good and very affordable, get the shrimp with the whole shebang and you'll love it. The service is always top notch, the servers are always super friendly and are def on it with the refills and checking up on the guests, the owner *I think he's the owner* is also a very friendly guy. Hopefully the residents of pico support this place and keep it in business. read more

Ordering a pick up for 14 people can sometimes be a hassle in explaining exactly what you want and especially receiving everything correctly. Not at this place though, everything was on point and only took about 30-45 to make. The price was decently average for a Cajun crab spot. My family being a huge boiling crab lover, everyone was very pleased with how delicious everything turned out to be. Definitely coming here again! read more

While everybody is all hyped up with boiling crab. STAR CRAB is tha business. I get busy but doesnt get crowded on top of that the food is amazing way better then boiling.ON top of that the service is amazing u actually get check up on morr then you would at boiling. Hands down tha best of the best. read more

The food was very tasty and service was good. The music was a bit loud for my dinning pleasure.

This spot was just OKAY. It satisfied the craving, but for the price it was not worth it. Something about the shrimp just tasted off. I'm not sure if it's just me or if they weren't fully cooked but it grossed me out. The sauce was pretty good but unfortunately I would not order from here again. read more

Great service! Must try the Cajun fries and Snow crab legs. Love this place for their quick service as well. They have tv's showing the games and music in background is not to loud so you can enjoy a good conversation while you eat. Tried their michelada and it was delicious 5 . Gave them 5 stars because overall you get good food, great service, clean place, and delicious drinks. A must try if you're in the Pico rivera area read more

Amazing amazing amazing. I've been there a dozen times and they never fail to amaze me. Their staff is very friendly and welcoming and they are very fast and efficient. read more

Hello Pals, if by any chance are looking for A hidden gem that sells Cajun food I recommend this place . It's a lot of food that they give you. Awesome customer service. Definitely will be coming back not alone but with my family. Thank you Zach. Keep smiling.:) read more

My GO-TO! The owner is awfully friendly, and their Cajun is bomb. I always order shrimp, scallops, clams, and king crab in the garlic butter spicy sauce. The xx spicy is amazing but only if you can handle it, I get it on the side. Micheladas are good here too. Easily my favorite spot in the area, beats other cajun places imo! read more

Favorite Peel & Eat shrimp around... Other places over rated and & long wait times ...friendly and fast service! Highly recommend

Food is amazing. Staff here are amazing cannot describe how good the service was . We arrived and were taken care of immediately with a huge smile. Totally reccomend this spot to everyone. read more

Skip the huge lines at Boiling Crab and come here ! I loved this place! It was my first time here and I usually like to go a few times before I leave a review to a new place. Honestly, everything was delicious. Cajun was on point! They have beer now, and right now it's still cheap because they are promoting like a grand opening. I'd definitely give this place a try. It's clean, great service, oh and they let me get half a pound of anything I wanted (BC doesn't do that). I forgot to take pictures because I was so excited to eat everything. If you can't dine, take it to go and ask for some paper to cover your table! :) Thank you Star Crab. read more

This place was very clean with quite the nautical theme inside. There were TVs everywhere which almost made it feel like a sports bar than restaurant. I ordered the #1-- 3 lbs of the shrimp, corn, potatoes with sausage and with our choice of black mussels and crawfish with the full house seasoning (the most popular choice according to our server). We also added a lobster tail to the mix. Food was good and only took about 10-15 mins. The seasoning had lots of garlic but it didn't overpower the food. Nonetheless, I did feel the seasoning was missing something. Overall the service was excellent and the food was good. I'd recommend it! read more

Star Crab - Seafood Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

See all

Went with the family on a Sunday around 2pm, got the shrimp star combo #1 with the spicy flavor, there was enough for the 4 of us, also got 3 modelo negra micheladas (not that good to be honest). Food was awesome, super spicy!!! We had a waitress that I believe was new because she didn't know the answers to our questions, luckily a more experienced waiter (I wish I knew his name) was available and knew the whole menu :) we will definitely be back soon and get some regular beer not micheladas haha read more

Ah-ma-zing!!!! I'm so glad they opened in Pico Rivera. I cannot rave about this place enough!! The food is spectacular and the service is also amazing. Our waitress was Carolina and our waiter was Mike. Both of them were so sweet and very attentive, constantly checking up on us to make sure we had everything we wanted. We also did not know how spicy the XXX Spicy sauce was so Carolina explained it to us and also brought us a sample as well. We also tried a Pina Colada and let me tell ya, that Pina Colada was so GOOD!! A man named Robert also came out to talked to us too because we asked what Pandora station they were playing. Lol. Thank u so much guys for the great food, samples, and AMAZING service you guys now have new customers. read more

This is a long-overdue review. Been coming to this spot since it opened! If you're looking for a place to eat right now, your search is over!!! This is literally the best spot to eat cajun style seafood. Fresh product, easy to peel shrimp, perfect spice levels, excellent customer service, and more!!!! Beats boiling crab and all those other spots u been to! You can order half pounds of shrimp too. Love this hidden gem and I can't recommend it enough! read more

It was delicious! I ordered shrimp Togo and it had plenty of limes and salt and pepper. Not that I needed it, it was very flavorful! I'll be back to try more item. read more

Just visited this seafood restaurant for the first time. They opened about two weeks ago. They are serving alcohols now. They are not skimpy like some other seafood restaurants, their portion is more than generous. We order the family combo #1 Shrimp Star for two for $38.95. We ate and ate and got full and we still have half a bag of seafood to take home. Service was very friendly and they checked on us quite a few times. The atmosphere is nice and clean. We will definitely come back again in the future. The amount of food and the quality for the price it is a must try for seafood lovers. read more

I don't know much about Cajun food but this place has great shrimp and crab. Food tasted great and I enjoyed it a lot. Service was fast and nice. Good place to eat. read more
