This is the closest Boiling Crab location to me & I am pretty sure I've been here more than 10x... always SO good ughh! I always order the whole shabang mild and 1/2 or 1 pound depending if I'm hungry or not that day :-) I also order king crab legs on special occasions. There's usually a long wait here but I always go on Yelp to get on the waitlist before heading over. read more

I've always had a great experience at boiling crab! The servers are always attentive and happy to serve you. The parking is a large parking lot is shared but pretty secluded from other stores. As expected from any boiling crab, there's always a line. Try to get your name on the list as soon as you arrive and wait for the text. For food, you can't go wrong with the whole shabang shrimp! It's packed with the buttery goodness that would leave your hands smelling good for days! It's fairly loud inside but you don't need to scream to talk to the people in your table. read more

The food was good, but the service was terrible. I come here often and usually have a great experience, but this time Wei completely ruined my friends' birthday dinner (they're twins). His service was careless and unprofessional. When we asked for rice, it didn't come out until after I had already finished my meal. When we asked for ranch for a table of four, he only brought one. He forgot my melted butter entirely. On top of that, when we asked for water, he actually rolled his eyes at us. I don't know if he was just having a bad day or if he didn't get cracked, but as we were walking out, he clocked out too and said, "f*** this shift." If I could leave zero stars, I would. read more

Boiling crab can never let me down. Consistently good and will always get it when I'm craving seafood boil. I got 2 lbs of shrimp shabang mild with sausage, 1 lb of shrimp shabang medium with sausage, 1 lb of clams shabang medium, sweet potato fries, cajun fries, and calamari. The shrimp wasn't overcooked and the clams tasted amazing. The one thing I did not like was the calamari. The batter was pretty bland but both the fries were great. Nothing was bad about my experience, just pretty good overall. read more

Boiling Crab is a popular cajun seafood restaurant known for its casual and flavorful, messy dining experience. The vibe at Boiling Crab is relaxed and fun. The decor is very simple following a nautical theme. The ambiance is lively, especially during peak hours. It's a great spot for groups or casual dining. The seafood at Boiling Crab is generally very flavorful. This is purely based off of the 1lb shrimp and cajun fries, which is my go to order. I also go for the Whole Shabang at medium spice level (I recommend mild for those who can't handle spice, but still want that kick). Service at BC can vary by location, my experience with the service hasn't been the greatest. The reason being that despite the number of employees working on shift, I felt as if no one was there to help. I waited nearly 15 mins in the lobby when I arrived, just to pay for my order that was already ready (I received a Yelp notification that my order was ready 10 minutes before I had actually arrived). read more

A cold beer pairs well with the seafood. Order some rice and a basket of fries to enjoy with the seafood. Always ask for extra lemon and limes to squeeze over the seafood. read more

The boiling crab never fails. We've been here countless times and I love the consistency in the food and service overall. For shrimp boils I always go for the whole Shabang since this includes a mix of all flavors! Spice level is totally optional but I feel this is the one part where consistency lacks. Some visits the medium will be too spicy or to mild. Other times the xxl (spiciest) is not spicy at all -- other times the spiciest is actually milder than the medium as well. For us, spice levels have been a hit or miss. In addition, kids choice is limited if they don't like seafood. You have the basic chicken tender basket with your choice of fries. This order never fails and is always crunchy and good. Overall, service has always been very friendly and fast. The majority of servers are very attentive. However, this place tends to get very busy on weekends and Friday nights. For parties 6 or smaller I highly recommend reserving a table via this Yelp app since it's heaven sent! Simply reserve and you can see what place in line you are. Start heading over when you calculate you make it! Don't risk it! Sometimes the list goes on by fast! Tip: ask for disposable gloves when you eat that shrimp boil! To prevent smelly hands afterwards and to avoid getting your fingernails all sauccyyy. read more

We had such a great time at The Boiling Crab! The food was amazing and everyone there was super friendly and welcoming. We ordered 1 lb of snow crab and 1 lb of shrimp with sausage, corn, eggs, and potatoes, all tossed in the house sauce with medium spice. Let me tell you medium is pretty spicy, but still totally worth it if you like some heat. The flavor was perfect. They give you bibs and cover the table with wax paper so you can dump your food out and go to town. It's messy but so fun! I just wish they offered gloves too because I went through a crazy amount of napkins by the end. Definitely recommend if you want good seafood and a fun, hands-m on dining experience. We'll be back for sure! read more

some of the best quality seafood boil i've had in socal! the seafood is actually a good size here and they give a good amount of sauce. we ordered the fried calamari, fried oysters, cajun fries, and lemon pepper wings, as well as shrimp in the whole sha-bang sauce. i loved the fried foods, especially the oysters because they were pretty big. this location is in a plaza with plenty of parking, and there was no wait when we came in on sunday at noon. it is a little dark inside the restaurant, but there is plenty of seating for a family outing. they did get our order wrong because they gave us egg instead of potatoes?, but the service was still quick! read more

I was craving for this late last month so I got it TO GO. Sooo good. Lots of garlic pieces as well. Luckily it didn't take too long either for their to make my dinner and the people at the to go counter were efficient and friendly. The restaurant looked nice and busy on a Tuesday night . There were lots of people were waiting to eat. I ordered 3 pounds of shrimp medium the whole shabang plus two corns and an order of potatoes for my man and I. Again, we got lots of garlic pieces as well. Oh we also got Cajun fries too; they were a little soggy for my liking though. A little over 65$ altogether but we had plenty of leftovers as well for the next day. Happy to ask that we didn't have to ask for lemons and salt and pepper. They even offered us bibs!

Very disappointed in the level of service provided by manager Nick. We visited boiling crab several times a month. Well today, we ordered mild (like usual). The shrimp came extremely spicy. My daughters didn't eat one shrimp. The waitress offered butter and brought us water. But the manager Nick, told us the shrimp is mild. When I told him my daughters haven't ate, he said "I'm not going to tell you what to order for your kids". He was not sympathetic at all. This was not at all how I expected to spend my birthday. Please do better with who you choose for management. Teach them to show kindness and empathy. To the waitress, thank you for constantly checking on us and bringing my girls refills. read more

My husband and I had racked our brains to find a restaurant to order takeout from to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It had been a long time since we have dined in a Boiling Crab restaurant (kids, pandemic, etc). Thankfully they offer phone orders and are super efficient. By the time my husband got ready leave, we already received a text that the order was ready! The service I experience over the phone was great. The person who helped me gave suggestions for what flavors tasted good with the seafood we chose to order. The only disappointment was that they were out of Dungeness crab the day we got takeout. (Also they would not have it in stock the following day). The sauces and seafood and add ins we got were so delicious and consistent with the times we have come to dine in. (When in doubt, choose the whole shebang, you can't go wrong!) We personally have not had the opportunity to dine in the Rosemead location, but hope to in the future (maybe without the kids lol). read more

Zero star. The staff seemed completely untrained, inexperienced, and uninterested in serving customers. From the moment we sat down, most of the employees were busy talking among themselves instead of paying attention to guests. The service was extremely slow, and when we tried to ask for help, they were dismissive and acted like we were bothering them. It's unacceptable for a restaurant to treat customers this way. The lack of professionalism and care really stood out. I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend this location to anyone unless they seriously improve their staff training and customer service. read more

They have a lot of tables inside so it is great for small and large groups. The waiters were also fast even though they were busy. We ordered their Kung Pao Chicken, Fried Tofu, Beef Noodle, Shrimp w Walnut, and Vegetable w Garlic. We decided not to get lobster since it was pricey. They took our order pretty fast and gave tea to drink. The pot of white rice is extra $1 if you order though. And their menu book doesn't have prices for some reason. Only the to-go menu has prices. Food was served in a decent amount of time, around 15 minutes. And all dishes arrived close together so we didn't have to wait long. The kung pao chicken is so good! Not spicy at all and very nice and crispy with good seasoning. It tasted delicious with some rice. The beef noodles were also delicious! It had good wok taste and was very flavorful. The tofu and shrimp were also good. None of the dishes were too salty and all were seasoned well and in pretty big portions, though I don't remember the exact price since they took the receipt away when we paid. But the meal was very worth and we had leftovers for lunch the next day. Such a yummy meal! I really enjoyed it! I am definitely coming back again!

My family and I used to religiously eat lobster noodles whenever we made a trip down to SoCal. The pick of the bunch was 100% Newport Seafood- no negotiations, no contemplations. Unfortunately, the last handful of times have left me extremely disappointed and heavily annoyed. The cost and wait times do not reflect what is actually being provided and most of our food ends up being left behind because it simply isn't worth the calories. In all honestly, I've grown a phobia w/ that specific restaurant at this point because of the countless letdowns. My initial taste of Boston Lobster was about 3 years ago and I had the most enjoyable meal. Due to our LA trip coming to an end, my BD thought we should do it big with some lobster noodles- for good old time's sake. I absolutely refused to go anywhere unless we would be giving Boston Lobster a visit! Sure enough, they did not disappoint! Dinner for 3 adults and 1 toddler consisted of: *Boston House Special Lobster [no spice] + Garlic Noodles for an additional fee. Medium Size 5-6lbs minimally. *French Style Beef Cube *Sauteed Snow Pea Leaves We ate like mf'n KINGS!! Each and every dish was spectacular- even the greens! While we should have gone with the small sized lobster, I'm proud to say we went down with an honorable fight. Lmao!! The lobster was cooked to perfection- meat was sweet, succulent, and so darn tender. The garlic noodles soaked up all of the delicious lobster flavors and were not overcooked and mush. The bo luc lac was flavorful, juicy, and complimented the bed of lettuce, onions, & tomatoes so well. The snow pea leaves weren't tough and old- this truly was a simply yet magical dish. Service was on point and the staff continually came by to swap out our plates full of lobster shells. Above all, there was no wait with our initial arrival. Parking is easy given the fact that BL has a pretty big parking lot specifically for them. 5/5 stars!! We dropped over 3 bills here and it didn't even hurt. Lmao- this place is that damn good! Don't sleep on this joint, y'all. Boston Lobster is the real deal when it comes to authentic Chinese/Vietnamese cuisine. This spot should be so much more hyped than it actually is!

Saw them doing the same for some fish, which was cool. Be sure to tip them if they do prep for you. Prices seemed reasonable to high, but considering my favorites are difficult to find, price was really no object. I wish I didn't have such expensive taste or I'd be back weekly :).

Out of the appetizers, the sprouts was the one that surprised me the most. The bacon and seasoning complement the baked Brussels sprouts perfectly. The calamari was whatever, I felt it was too battery for my personal liking but my friend loved it. The oysters were smaller than what I usually get from other restaurant but it still hit the spot. The entree was amazing and the jambalaya has quite a kick to it even when I ordered it at medium heat. There was plenty of shrimp, mussels, sausages, and protein in the pasta and rice dish. Parking in the plaza was atrocious because it is a busy plaza with a gym and other amazing restaurants and quick bites. Can't wait to stop by again.

The environment is family-friendly, with several tables occupied by kids and families. Just be aware that the music and overall noise level are fairly loud. Service was attentive and they checked up on us regularly. We ordered 2 dozen oysters ($1.50 each), the fish and chips ($11.50), mussels and clams ($10.50), and a beer. The oysters were fresh, mostly clean, and came with the usual accompaniments. My only minor complaint is that small seafood forks would have been nice to have available. The mussels and clams were the disappointment of the meal. While the broth itself was flavorful, the portion was downright sad. We received only 4 mussels and 4 clams total, and the bowl felt almost empty. The standout was definitely the fish and chips. Dare I say the best fish and chips I've ever had? The batter was well-seasoned without being overly salty. The fish was crispy, hot, flaky, and surprisingly not too greasy. The fries were also excellent, with a crunchy exterior and fluffy, mashed potato-like interior. I would absolutely order this again. Overall, for happy hour, come for the fresh oysters and fish and chips. Skip the embarrassingly skimpy bowl of mussels and clams.

We were seated right away when we arrived, although it took a while before anyone came to take our order. We started with the sizzling razor clams, and honestly, they were the highlight of the meal, perfectly cooked, well seasoned, and a great start. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue, and it really missed the mark. Several ingredients felt poorly prepared. The tendon was so tough it was basically inedible and had to be pushed aside. The pork blood tasted like it had been cooked separately since it had none of the broth flavor soaked into it. Even the beef slices felt out of place, almost like they had been pulled from a pho bowl and dropped into the BBH at the last minute. The broth itself lacked the richness, spice, and strong lemongrass flavor that normally makes Bun Bo Hue stand out. It just tasted flat. There was also a mix-up with our order when the wrong dish came out instead of the lobster. When the lobster finally arrived, it was badly overcooked and much smaller than what was shown on the menu. On top of that, the music was blasting the entire time, no one really checked in to see how things were going, and it took multiple attempts just to get our check. When we mentioned the food issues, the response was basically, "We'll let the chef know." Not exactly the kind of service you hope for after a disappointing meal. Really wanted to like this place, especially after such a strong start with the razor clams, but overall it ended up being a letdown.

We ended up getting a set for $168 this time, which came with 6 dishes. It's also $35 per lb for lobster, and I asked for the smallest one. Apparently, the smallest one was 4.8 lbs, which was another $168, so I'm not sure if they upsold me. Anyways, the food was fantastic and everyone enjoyed it. This is what I thought about the food we got. House Seafood Soup - Simple and clean soup. Good portion, and it was soothing to eat. Lots of squid. (4/5) Clams with Spicy Sauce - Large clams with tons of meat, and the sauce was fire. Always a good choice. (5/5) Crab with Salt & Pepper - Loved the seasoning, and the flavors were solid. (4.5/5) Thai Style Beef Stew - First time trying this, and it was good. A bit different, but the meat chunks were tasty and the overall flavors were good. (4/5) Sautéed Pea Sprouts - Nicely done vegetable dish. It's simple but refreshing with good flavors. (4/5) Fried Whole Fish - This dish was gone so fast because it was delicious. Nicely fried and not overly seasoned. (5/5) Signature Lobster - I feel like you have to get this here since it's their specialty. It's pricey, but in my opinion, it's the best and freshest lobster in town. Tons of green onions, seasoned well, fresh meat, and lots of lobster roe. (5/5) Service was good, and they didn't automatically add a mandatory tip for a large party. The total came out to around $364, which is pricey, but the food was phenomenal. Parking - Valet only, but they have street parking in front. I parked on the street since there were plenty of spots on a Wednesday, but I assume it gets busy on weekends.

That's when he finally responded and told me he had double-booked my date. He then tried to blame a "booking agent," even though I booked with him directly and paid him directly. To make it worse, he tried to send me to a different location 20 minutes away. After being ignored for weeks and having to chase him down myself, I had zero confidence trusting him again. The worst part? He still has not returned my deposit. Despite canceling on me, he has refused to give my money back, leaving me with no choice but to pursue legal action just to recover what I'm owed. This was extremely unprofessional, stressful, and costly. If you're planning an event, be very careful.

The Peking duck lived up to the hype. I liked that they use pancakes instead of the buns, and building each bite with hoisin, green onion, cucumber, duck meat, and crispy skin gave a great mix of textures and flavors. The other dishes were solid too. The pea sprouts were fresh and loaded with garlicky flavor without being overpowering. The shrimp fried rice was probably one of the best value dishes we ordered at around $13 -- lots of shrimp mixed throughout and a great filler for the table. The honey walnut shrimp was unique because it came with melon, which added a refreshing touch. The shrimp itself was super crispy and I appreciated that it wasn't drowning in sauce or overly sweet. The French style beef was another standout -- packed with fresh peppers and the meat was incredibly tender. Overall, you really can't go wrong ordering here.

The sweet and sour pork was unfortunately a disaster. The pork was sliced paper-thin--so thin that it felt like I was mostly eating batter with barely any meat. I was also disappointed they took the sweet and sour fish off the menu because that dish was amazing a few months ago. The five-color noodles were light, clean, and refreshing. The pork elbow was delicious with a fun, tender texture. The fish maw soup was very good and comforting, though it could have used a little more seasoning. Other than that, it was delicious. The steamed sea bass with soy sauce was incredibly soft and fragrant--a definite must-order. The scallops with vermicelli noodles were another hit: fresh, clean flavors and perfectly cooked scallops. My only suggestion would be to cut the noodles, as they came in one big clump and were difficult to serve. We ordered the beef fried rice but were given lamb instead. It was a bit gamier than expected, but still tasty. The black fungus with tofu was also excellent--well seasoned and full of flavor. Overall, there were a few misses, but the Peking duck, sea bass, scallops, pork elbow, and black fungus with tofu made the meal worth coming back for.

I moved to the SGV a little over a year ago and I have been sorely disappointed by offerings this nook of LA county has to offer *ahem banana bay*. I found myself driving to the SFV or Thai Town whenever I was too lazy to cook Thai food on my own. I decided to take a gamble with this restaurant and I am so very glad that I did. It's so good and authentic that I have come out of yelp retirement (Yelp Elite 2016-2020) to leave this review. I ordered four things as take out: Issan Sausage, Pad Kra Pow Minced Chicken, Spicy Fried Crispy Cat Fish, and Drunken Noodles. I was told that they were out of the Kra Pow Century Egg and stewed pork leg over rice. Hopefully, I'll get to try it next time! Issan Sausage: Good portions. Flavor is very good, a little sour, a little salty, and a hint of sweetness. I think the flavors could be a bit more bold with the sour but overall the flavors profile is as it should be. Frying it also added a nice crispiness to it. Spicy Fried crispy Catfish: Flavors were really good. Sweet foods is typically not usually in my flavor profile, but this is one of the few sweet entrees I actually like. Catfish can be a bit more fried but that is moreso a preference on my part. Drunken Noodle Beef: Good char on the noodles. Flavor was really good as well. Not that much beef but the star of the show are the noodles. I was a tad confused on the egg in my drunken noodle but to each their own. I would probably order it without the egg next time because it does change the texture a bit. Pad Kra Pow Minced Chicken: Now here's where it gets interesting! Tantawan actually uses holy basil (Kra Pow). It's harder to find but it has a very distinct flavor that Thai-American cuisine has for the most part substituted due to scarcity with Thai Basil (Horapha). I don't think you can get more authentic than actually using the right herb. Funnily enough, I think it can throw off people that have never had authentic Kra Pow as my partner said it tasted herbally. Thai food can be very hit and miss even among the Thai community as we all have different preferences when it comes to the holy trinity of sweet, salty, and sour. I am personally on the spectrum of sweet should be hinted at and never the forward flavor. Tantawan with the dishes I ordered definitely held to my flavor profile. Very well cooked and good flavor profile. I didn't have to add any seasoning as everything was cooked just right. I called my take out in and they said it would be ready in 20 and it was when I arrived. Even as the food sat in my passenger seat as I drove home I could tell from the smell emanating from the take-out bag that the food was going to be good. Quick and courteous service!
