Jay was so kind and had good energy when taking our order. Always made sure our table was satisfied. 10/10 service! (: Also miches should be part of the menu!! read more

Pretty solid spot located in Koreatown. Keep it mind that there will be a decently long wait for a table during peak hours, but I went to the soju bar nearby to pass some time. Food itself was pretty good. Not the best seafood boil I've had, but definitely satisfied the craving. I got The Whole Sha-Bang! sauce which was pretty favorable but next time I would add more spice. read more

Off the bat the service from every single employee was outstanding super cool staff 10/10 I tipped 2 different waiters/waitress $10 each cause they attended to myself and my sister good. Now to the food I ordered a pound of shrimp, with sausage, and boiled eggs: the whole shebang (mild) and a side of Cajun fries. The food was so bland like it had no flavor and the fries were like over cooked cause they were hard and not even crunchy can't really explain it and I didn't even enjoy or finish it I asked for a to go box cause my stomach was feeling upset after 30 minutes of trying to stomach the food. I paid $72.98 plus the tip but the food wasn't it today sorry. It's pretty loud in there but really clean and it was busy so show up early! My sister didn't wanna complain so she forced the food down and apologized to me cause it was her idea and I said it's ok maybe next time we might try it. Honestly it wasn't worth $72.98 it was pretty mid and flavorless I was expecting everything to be good but it wasn't. Your customer service is amazing keep that up but the food needs work I asked for a receipt and was never given one and called to speak to management but I couldn't get through read more

The only location that gets the flavor right! I always crave their shrimp with rice -- it's my go-to! We always order the same: shrimp with mixed sauce, potatoes, rice, sausage, and corn. Try making a rice ball, dipping it in the sauce, and topping it with shrimp -- best flavor ever! The only "problem" is you'll want more rice because it's so good. Their servers are always super friendly too! read more

Great gumbo! Big enough to be a full meal-- especially w a side of fries. ;) If you order Gumbo with rice they just give a tiny scoop inside, so if you want a more hardy meal maybe order a full side of rice. I don't eat too much seafood, so I passed on the boil (my friends enjoyed it a lot!), but they have other menu options like chicken tenders, fried shrimp, and gumbo, for those like me. Great upbeat ambiance and super quick service! The bags came out in a heartbeat. read more

Yay one of my best friends who moved to Texas finally came back to LA for just one day to visit and while we were gonna go out to Eastwood after dining here, they had to move on to going to Vegas. But in the interim, we still gotta enjoy a meal we were all highly anticipating, Boiling Crab! We went with mild the whole shebang, which is one of the best sauces they have here for the seafood that they put in their bags. The mussels we got were full of flavor and boiled to the perfect temperature. While the shrimp were hard to peel and did end up poking my friend's finger, they were big and full of flavor as well. A lot of the sauce just sticks into that head area and it's really good to get that flavor there. Then the snow crab, which was my first time ordering it, tasted really similar to their king crab. Could hardly tell a difference, but it's definitely not the same amount of meat. One downside I would say is that if you do want king crab, with the prices nowadays, that's definitely going to cost over $100 for an order... My ex wife and I used to get king crab at boiling crab, along with other things, for under $100... Now that's not even possible anymore, which kinda sucks. The sausage we got which isn't pictured was good and full of flavor. What I liked a lot was the corn. The corn just has the right amount of steam to it that each bite bursts with flavor and when mixed with the seasoning, that taste is just so memorable. The potatoes were good too. I don't know why, but whenever I come here, I always want the fried catfish too. I think when it comes to fried fish, boiling crab does it right too. Our server was so kind and attentive and made sure we got everything we needed. The wait was only 10 minutes and the ambiance here is always fun with how many people are just honed in to their exciting meals and just going at it. I'm happy I came and look forward to coming again. Jennycat also enjoyed wearing the bib when I got home! Meow. read more

The Boiling Crab - The aftermath... Lemon Pepper Fries whole shabang shrimp w/ extra potatoes. My go to order - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Awesome food and service. The host was very fun and good at his job. His name started with a C I think... very funny guy. Our waitress was very nice and patient with us. We ordered medium spice and our mouths were on FIRE so be careful lol. Everything was still super delicious and you can't beat the price. The area is a little odd to navigate. A lot of cars are just stopped in the middle of the road. There's underground parking that can be validated, it costed us $5 to park. The restaurant itself was on the smaller side, but still made for a great dining experience. I can imagine it gets busy on weekends read more

As a seafood boil lover, this experience disappointed me. Got 1.5 pounds of head on shrimp, 1 pound of frozen crawfish (they did not have live ones), and 1 pound of snow crab legs. This was after waiting for 1 hour to get a seat. The flavor of the Shebang sauce was amazing and truly made the meal, but the seafood was heavily underwhelming. The shrimp was very hard to peel - likely because it was slightly overcooked. The crawfish was good but I could tell it was frozen; unfortunately I could not get the live ones. The snow crab legs were probably the worst - for some reason they were VERY salty, so much so that I couldn't even finish them. As a whole, the meal was still good, but definitely not worth the price at all. I highly recommend not getting the snow crab legs. Nevertheless, the service was great and it's a family friendly environment. read more

We came here with a big group of 16 people, and they accommodated us with no problem at all. From the moment we walked in, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and very attentive. The service was fast and efficient, even with our large party. The food was absolutely amazing--everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned with that signature Cajun kick. We ordered a variety of seafood boils, and dish was a hit. The sauces were rich and tasty, and the seafood was cooked just right. It's hard to find places that can handle big groups and still deliver great service and food, but this place nailed it. Highly recommend it if you're craving delicious Cajun seafood and a great dining experience with friends or family. read more

Stopped by here last weekend for a party of 3 around 7pm. We signed up for the waiting list and said it'd take about an hour. We walked around the plaza and hmart across the street to kill time. Ordered 1lb of shrimp for $16, rice for $2.50, and a basket of crab fries (half order) to share $9. Their medium sauce was pretty good! Wish they added more garlic to the sauce like Crab Hut. The shrimp and crawfish were huge compared to other seafood spots I've tried. Definitely would come back! read more

Food was delicious, atmosphere was calm and relaxing. We went during the week so parking lot wasn't full. FYI they have a parking structure that they validate for, but you still end up paying around $4-5 bucks. Depending the hour, might be better to park on the street if you don't want to pay. Service was great, everyone was welcoming and kind. Our waiter immediately got our orders and was constantly making sure we didn't need anything. Refreshing to be around staff that don't make it seem like they hate their job. read more

Manager was very rude. I waited for past an hour for a table that I had asked to be seated in a booth or the window because I have a baby. I get there still wait 23 minutes to get noticed and they still didn't have a table.

Food is always good! Service is great and they make me feel like if I'm always a new customer! Ambience is super cool with making it look like we're on the pier lol. The only thing is the line is usually an hour long but I think that's because of the location and the weekend read more

I love this Boiling Crab location! Although the wait can be long, it's always worth it. What earned this five star review though, was Joshua's exemplary and phenomenal service. He was so attentive, kind, and really went the extra mile to make our experience 10/10. Thank you Joshua for being the MVP of servers! We will be back very soon!! read more

I had the most awful experience at this place. The wait was two hours long. We got here at 6:15 pm and right now it's currently 8:32 pm and there so many empty tables and the people that were here for like 20-30 minutes have gotten seats before us and we have not been seated at all. when we first got here, they told us that it would only be a 45-30 minute wait and every time we would go ask them about the wait they would always push back the time. This place needs to become more organized and needs to get their act together because I am never coming back read more

Got super bad food poisoning here with my friend and it was her first time eating at boiling crab .

Great food and atmosphere. Usually always busy and they might need more help since the service can take awhile. Food comes out quick but might have to wait awhile for a second or 3rd drink. Men's bathroom was very small. They have a to-go area right next door. Street parking is metered at 15 minutes for 25 cents but street is always busy. Parking underneath with validation for a few dollars for first couple of hours. read more

They prioritize ubereats and DoorDash orders over their walk in customers. I had to wait an hour for a crab legs and fries because they were serving ubereats drivers when I got there first. I was told the wait would be only 20 minutes and had to wait almost an hour. On top of that when I finally did receive my food my fries were already cold. read more
