    Boiling crab is always so yummy! They always hit the spot on the flavors and the service was good. Everything came quickly and I love how you can join the waitlist ahead of time.

    On9/16/2026. Paid at 9:00PM. Didn't get my food until 9:10PM. The order was already finished and sitting on the pickup rack the whole time. The female server who was supposed to hand it to me spent those 10 minutes chatting and laughing with about six male coworkers. She walked from the register to the rack and then over to me while still talking with them. I was standing right there waiting, and she clearly knew I was waiting. If it had just been busy or a little slow, I would understand. This wasn't slowness. It was putting a conversation with coworkers ahead of a customer who had already paid and whose food was already ready. Something that should have taken a couple of minutes took ten because she chose to socialize first. Poor service and even poorer awareness of the guest standing in front of her. Reply to the owner So you are saying I am lying? I stood there waiting while that girl was talking and laughing with someone else. Did you investigate her, or did you only look at the POS time and decide my complaint was wrong? Four minutes on your system is not what happened at the counter.

    Chicken Wings so BOMB

    Ordered to-go for a late night lunch. 1. 10 Piece Wing Cajun Spicy Mild 2. 10 Piece Wing Lemon Pepper Mild 3. Fried Shrimp Basket Got the Ranch and the BBQ sauce. With the Boiling Crab, flavors are on point and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

    We ordered 3 pounds of shrimp and 1 pound of crawfish with Sha-Bang sauce. The sauce was still as delicious as always, flavorful, buttery, and spicy. Chicken wings were decent. Unfortunately, the seafood quality was disappointing this time. The shrimp did not taste fresh and some were mushy. We never had this issue before, but lately the quality seems to be going downhill. Many of the shrimp were also full of poop veins. I noticed the The Boiling Crab location on Main Street slices the top of the shrimp to clean them better, and the quality there has been much better. Another frustrating thing is their live crab and live crawfish are always sold out. It feels like they only stock very limited quantities. The wait time was also extremely long. Service was not very attentive either. We had to wave our hands multiple times just to get attention, and even then the server kept forgetting our requests. The Sha-Bang sauce is still the main reason we come back, but the seafood quality and service definitely need improvement.

    An excellent, fast-casual, popular seafood restaurant featuring fresh seafood with a kick of cajun flavor, the boiling crab features some of my favorite seafood pieces such as shrimp, snowcrab, mussels and oysters at fair market value prices. The whole shabang is the sauce of choice in my opinion. Overall, not a bad deal for a delicious and hefty amount of food!

    It's Memorial Day and the place is packed at 3:00 PM. The food is especially good at all the Boiling Crab locations, but this location feels right, and there is so much parking, compared to the other locations. In this particular case, I was taking out, as I bought some shrimp myself, and wanted to use the sauce to try out on some extra jumbo shrimp. The spicy nature of their sauce can be had as none to extreme, so tried the mild on this first go around.

    Stay far away from this business. The 2 lbs of shrimp I ordered arrived covered in mold. Serving spoiled seafood is disgusting and a serious health hazard. If your food has gone bad, throw it away--not into a customer's order. Completely unacceptable.

    Long wait... just go to one of the surrounding stores and come back when the wait is done. I didn't see any additional sinks other than the ones in the bathroom. The food was good! Service was good. We got the house seasoning. They were out of blue crab and live crawfish. We ordered 3lbs of shrimp and crab legs. Cajun and sweet potato fries along with steam rice and margaritas. This was split among 5 women.

    Whole Shabang shrimp and sausage. 5/5

    Listen when it comes to Boiling Crab, I am loyal to only two locations: Rosemead and Alhambra. Tonight I brought my brother here for his very first seafood boil ever while he's visiting LA, and of course I had to introduce him to one of my ultimate favorites! And WOW -- tonight's food was extra better than usual. The flavors were so on point. My shrimp were all big and plump, perfectly cooked, and the corn (which has been hit-or-miss for me) was perfectly sweet and juicy. I put my brother onto my usual order: * Half lb shrimp + sausage, Whole Shabang mild. * Separate bag with corn & potatoes, Whole Shabang no spice. * And of course, some lemon pepper fries as an appetizer! My only complaint? The fries took 5ever and didn't arrive until after our bags hit the table -- not ideal when your hands are already covered in sauce. But honestly, our server's personality totally made up for it. She was super sweet, attentive, and had such a great attitude. Love when the service matches the vibes. Just a reminder for the uninitiated: this location gets PACKED. Like, "2+ hour waits while you question your life choices" packed. Make. A. Reservation. Your future self will thank you. Another fantastic experience and a perfect intro for my brother's first seafood boil. This will always be one of my go-to TBC spots!

    Shrimp potatoes and eggs

    Got here at 9 and the wait wasn't too long I was already on the waitlist. Was a party of 2 and got really fast and speedy service everything was so good and hot. Music was better then the club good energy and all the staff was so friendly this will definitely be my new boiling crab 10 out of 10 experience

    I hadn't been to this location in over 10 years, so it was cool to see what's changed. First off, they no longer hand out bibs or gloves automatically, but they do have them--you just have to ask. Other than that, the place looks about the same as it did years ago. We joined the Yelp waitlist and walked around the plaza, ending up with about a 20-minute wait at 6:30 on a Wednesday. As for the food, I still see Boiling Crab as the standard for Cajun seafood. It's never the absolute best I've had, but it's consistently good. We each ordered a pound of shrimp with corn, potatoes, and a rice to share. I got mine with the Whole Shebang sauce at XXX spice (which, in my opinion, isn't all that spicy). The food was tasty overall, though a few shrimp were overcooked and turned a bit mushy. Still, I left satisfied. Service was fast and overall solid for Cajun food.

    Stopped by on a Saturday evening and joined the Yelp waitlist at 6 PM and got seated around 8 PM. If you're coming during peak hours with a party of fewer than six, definitely join the waitlist 1-2 hours in advance. Parking was easy with their private lot. Service was attentive, and the overall vibe was super casual. This is your classic seafood boil spot. They provide bibs and disposable gloves at the start. They're known for their Cajun sauce, and I would say it lived up to the hype- probably my favorite of the sauces. I also appreciated being able to customize the spice level according to your taste. My favorite menu items from the meal were the raw oysters, shrimp, clams, and sausages. The oysters were very fresh, and the seafood was well-seasoned and flavorful. The Cajun sauce was bold, rich, and savory. Garlic butter was a bit heavy but worked well with the potatoes. The lemon pepper was a lighter, zesty contrast- perfect for switching things up. The snow crab legs and Dungeness crab were on the pricier end and not particularly standout, so I would probably pass on these the next time I go, but if you're feeling a splurge, I'd recommend going for the fresh Dungeness over the frozen option if it's available (it's commonly sold out). I would probably pass on the lobster roll as well (one of their newer menu items), as the portion was kind of small and lobster flavor was subtle.

    Molded Shrimp - disgusting
    Benny W.

    Run from this business! Disgusting- ordered 2lb of shrimp and it's all molded, this is not how you should run a business, if food were spoiled you should've throw them away rather than serving to anyone.

Boston Lobster definitely does. I've seen a lot of reviews for Kim Tar, and personally, I thought it was just alright. Some of the dishes lacked flavor, and I'd probably give it a solid 3.5 stars. Boston Lobster, on the other hand, is a place I'd actually come back to when I'm craving this type of food. The dishes have noticeably more flavor, more depth, and that extra kick that I felt was missing at Taste of MP. What surprised me most is that Boston Lobster can hold its own against some of the better Cantonese/Vietnamese restaurants I've tried in Orange County. In fact, I'd say some of the dishes here are even better. If you're looking for bold, flavorful Cantonese/Vietnamese-style seafood and family-style dishes in the area, Boston Lobster is definitely worth trying.

Today was a day that worked for me, so we decided to have lunch together and then get a massage afterward. Whenever I come to this area for a massage, I usually have lunch at Boston Lobster. I've heard that Boston Lobster was opened by a chef and some of the staff who used to work here at Newport Seafood Restaurant, so I wanted to come back here after a long time and compare the two restaurants for myself. First, parking. Boston Lobster has regular self-parking, while Newport Seafood has valet parking, which was $2. As for the food, I ordered one of my favorite dishes, shrimp with cashews. I've had it at Boston Lobster many times, and I definitely preferred Boston Lobster's version. We also ordered beef with tomato sauce. Honestly, it didn't look particularly appetizing when it first came out, but once I tried it, it was actually pretty good. We also ordered beef chow mein, and this was probably my favorite dish of the meal. It almost had a slightly Thai-food-like flavor, and it was really delicious. As for the service, this is where I noticed the biggest difference between the two restaurants. Every time I go to Boston Lobster, everyone there is always extremely friendly and welcoming. Here, some of the staff were friendly, but some were not friendly at all. The hostess who greeted us when we first arrived was very nice. After we sat down, she brought a small cucumber dish to our table and asked if we wanted it as an appetizer. We politely declined. Then a male server came to take our drink order and asked whether we wanted hot tea or water. I asked if they had any caffeine-free hot tea, but he didn't seem to understand me. My friend repeated the question very slowly, but he still didn't seem to understand. After we explained it one more time, he finally seemed to get what I was asking and asked if I wanted jasmine tea. I said yes, so we had jasmine tea. It was extremely hot at first, so I also asked for some cold water without ice. Later, while we were eating, we needed to serve ourselves some of the chow mein. The spoon that came with the chow mein wasn't really useful for picking up the noodles, so I asked for an extra pair of chopsticks. The server brought the chopsticks over and basically tossed them down on our table. Honestly, I found that pretty unpleasant. My friend and I looked at each other while we were eating and said, "What was that?" My friend even commented, "Chinese restaurant staff can be so unfriendly sometimes." That has never happened to me at Boston Lobster. The staff there have always been very friendly and attentive whenever I've gone. I had actually been to Newport Seafood Restaurant several times before the COVID pandemic, and I even got their lobster for takeout back then. I remember it being so delicious that, during the pandemic, I once saw on Google that the restaurant was open and drove all the way here, only to find that it was actually closed. I remember being pretty disappointed that day. So coming back here again after such a long time brought back some memories. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed with the service today. On the positive side, I found the restroom here to be cleaner than the one at Boston Lobster. However, the toilet here flushes automatically rather than having a manual flush, and I actually found that a little inconvenient. One nice advantage here is that they have private rooms, which would be great if you come with a larger group and want to sit separately with your own party. They do have lunch specials on weekends, which is nice. But personally, I think I'll probably go back to Boston Lobster next time. Their prices are actually about $1-$2 cheaper, I prefer their food overall, there's no valet parking charge, and most importantly, their service has been consistently much friendlier in my experience. So while I enjoyed coming back to Newport Seafood Restaurant after all these years and I did find some dishes here very good, Boston Lobster is still the place I would personally choose for my next visit to this area.

    My go-to place for sashimi platters and fresh seafood pick up for family parties like Thanksgiving…read moreand Christmas! I usually place an order through their Instagram DMs a few weeks in advance for holidays. You can ask for their excel spreadsheet and they'll send it to you with prices and this same spreadsheet updates every year! There is also a little deposit for holiday pick up depending on the size of your order. Their sashimi platter is beautiful, fresh, delicious, and always a party favorite. I usually get: Salmon, Toro, Yellowtail, Scallops, and Oysters. If available, uni trays and fresh wasabi (which can also be picked up at HMart). Scallops are my favorite but every piece of fish is so good and cut perfectly. Parking and pick up is easy. It is a very small store front with one party inside at a time and pay at the counter. Highly recommend for party platters for fresh sashimi.

    We got the family pack of the seafood boil and it was huge enough to feed 4 adults if you add two…read moresides of rice and a Cajun fries basket. For the price of food and the amount you get, I can't complain! The flavor of their own seafood boil sauce (boom sauce?) is a standard seafood boil flavor, it's legit. The flavors don't overwhelm you and make you wanna go to the toilet right away, you know what I mean? The family pack comes with 3 corn on the cob, 3 sausage pieces and 3 potatoes (like a medium sized potato!) it was good but I wish the seafood had time to sit in the sauce, you can tell the food was dumped on the sauce. We had to fight to scoop some sauce onto our mussels cause the bag was so full of food- what a good problem to have. Maybe the sauce is a bit thin? Maybe that's why it didn't stick to the food? Service was good, the ladies were attentive and professional. The decor looked like this place was known to be a bar- I mean there's a huge bar to the side. There's even a second floor but no one was seated there so it doesn't look used. Cute decor with the sea theme. Not happy about their toilet in the women's restroom. There's a a sign saying to please not dispose the toilet seat covers in the toilet cause it could clog it up. I was being a nice person and went to the trouble of respecting their wishes. It was gross as I was being careful not to touch the peed parts of the toilet seat cover. Don't judge me, only God can judge me! Come here to feed your family and friends at a very reasonable price! And if you're a lady you're gonna have to hover while you pee if you don't want to deal with the toilet seat cover disposal issue...

    Ate here with my parents because mom wanted some LOBSTER!!! lol we ordered lobster and shrimp and…read moresome sides and it was good! The service was nice to their customers and were very helpful on what to try out on the menu. The ambiance here was quite nice. Was very spacious and I feel like it would be a great place to hangout with friends and family after a long day of work. Would definitely recommend this place to all Seafood Lovers!
