A family owned and operated restaurant I will definitely be returning to! The shopping center is full of parking, so that would never be an issue in the area. It's located on a busy street but this spot is hard to miss! My sister, mom and I came to The Cajun Crab to try the all you can eat seafood as we are huge fans of the style of food. They have lots of food options to browse through- you have the choice of opting for all you can eat or just the regular menu. The price of AYCE for the portions we got were insaneeeee!! I have been to other all you can eat spots and it was nothing like this; so much better. Everything we got was full of so much flavor and intentionally cooked with delicious ingredients (not just to be served in bulk)! The service was amazing, the lovely girl answered all of my tables questions and had some great recommendations. The restaurant inside has plenty of seating space for big and small parties. I would definitely recommend brining a large group to try some of their amazing food! read more

Visited during a Friday lunch to watch the game & there was no wait at all with nice ac as well. Service was friendly & he explained the menu to us well, food came out quick & there was plenty of room for larger parties. We got about three bags in per person before we tapped out but my personal favorite was the clams in garlic butter with corn on the cob. Definitely made it worth it for $40 pp. read more

New Cajun place right by my house. My husband and I decided to try out the new place for dinner. Upon arriving we were greeted and seated which was extremely helpful. The restaurant was nicely decorated and very cleaned. Only downside it was extremely cold, they kept the front door opened. The food tasted amazingly good. Will definitely go back! read more

Food was great! I got the house special sauce, spicy. Wasn't very spicy but the flavor was so good! I tasted the snow crab, mussels, clams, and crawfish -- all were perfectly cooked. I love the interior decor, very dock like and well lit. Spacious inside if you have a larger group. The service was great-- very fast and kind servers. I will definitely be back! read more

My daughter loveeesss seafood boil, if it was up to her, she would eat it everyday. As for me and her dad, we can have it here and there. On our way to Stater Brothers we saw a grand opening sign & thought we would stop by for an early dinner to support. First, if seafood smells fishy, it's not fresh. There's no fishy smell here! Everything was FRESH! And the flavors.. WOW! Get the house special! You really get a bag for your buck here with the all you can eat option, so come hungry! And get the Cajun fried rice, I know with ayc, people tend to stick to protein and no carbs, but trust me, it's sooo good! Come out and support this mom and pop shop! The owners are so nice & have their kids helping out too!! Excellent service from everyone on 9/9! BOILING CRAB, WHO?!? read more

The Cajun Crab - Cajun/Creole Near Me - West Covina, California

Alright so first things first.. Parking - They have a lot of parking! Alright so the place itself is pretty decent. The inside was pretty nice and it matched the seafood theme. The service was just okay. The restaurant was not that busy but we constantly had to find ourselves trying to flag our waiter down. Not sure what kind of system they have but they had a lot of receipts on the counter and our waiter spent most of her time organizing trying to figure something out. I can't imagine what it would be like if they were actually busy. One thing I noticed is that the servers don't really explain the menu too well. She told us that if we wanted to order a second time, that it would be half price. But she didn't really specify that it was for the snow crab and blue crab. So we all thought that it was not really "AYCE" since we were going to have to pay a second time. Keep in mind that my friend had already been there a couple times with a couple of other friends and each time they explained the menu. She was under the impression that the AYCE, you would have to pay again for the second round but only half price. When in fact, it is AYCE, but for the snow and blue crab, you can only order that once. If you want to order it again, then it will be half the market price. Another thing I noticed while I was dining, is that for take out orders.. They don't seem to give them their receipt? or a number, or something to identify their order. There were a handful of people getting take out when I heard someone come back and they asked him what his order was and he said "I think I got.." and the person just handed him their order... So uhm, maybe check your order before you go!! Lastly, the food.. Okay, so honestly the food was not bad at all. The portions, according to my friend was never the same. The amount of rice my friend and I got was different. The amount of fries she got last time vs this time was way less. Also I thought it was weird how they separated their salt and pepper. I feel like if someone just wanted specifically salt or pepper they would specify. But splitting is such a waste of plastic and material. The juice was so light and lemony. It was honestly pretty good and maybe has the other crab place beat. But it didn't really hit the spot. I feel like the cajun fries we got were the best part of the meal! I don't think I would crave this spot, or take anyone here. But if someone were to ask me to get seafood boil here, I wouldn't mind. read more

Came for ayce. Would not come back unfortunately. Our server was great! Food was good, but the ayce had too many rules/restrictions. For the first round, you have to order one item from each category (seafood, side, deep fried), then every round after you can order whatever but seafood is limited to 1lb (or .5lb) at a time. There was a lot of waiting between rounds and can't imagine the wait when it's busy. They also waste a lot of those plastic bags when we're ordering 6 or 7 :) rounds. Seafood did taste fresh, but the clams were small and some rounds had sand or broken shell pieces. I think if they were a bit more lenient with the rules then it would be worth another visit. read more

I rarely leave food reviews, but this place absolutely deserves one. I drove down from Hemet, and all I can say is that it was better than any seafood restaurant I've tried. The food was incredibly delicious full of flavor without being overly garlicky, and it didn't leave me feeling heavy afterward. The service was amazing from start to finish. Getting to meet the owner made the experience feel even more welcoming and personal. Everyone was so kind and friendly, which made the meal even better. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great seafood and outstanding service. read more

Visited this establishment for the second time yesterday. My first visit was back in October. The food was delicious. We had french fries, cajun fried rice, & had on shrimp in their mild house special seasoning with a corn on the cob in the bag with the shrimp. Their cajun seafood fried rice is the best fried rice I've ever had. I just wish their sauce for the shrimp boil was thicker & also wish they would add a lot more garlic to their sauce. Their customer service is excellent. Friendly staff making you feel welcome upon entering. They often check in on you refilling your drinks & making sure you don't need anything else. The establishment is cozy & clean. I will definitely will be returning. I recommend this place & think everyone should give this family owned business a try. read more

I want this place to make it. From the many places that have been here this seems the most promising. The food is great and well priced. The garlic bread and sweet potato fries were great. We got crab, shrimp, and crawfish. All were excellent. We had the house sauce. It was delicious. They even give you bibs and gloves. My con was the service. It was not good. We got there right before the rush so we got seated. However the food took a long time and there was no checking on us. We had to bug for the check. It was as if they didn't want us to leave because they'd have to seat the long line outside. I'll come back but not on a Friday night. Choose a not prime time to visit. read more

The Cajun Crab - Pilled off shrimp with Cajun sauce. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - West Covina, California

The restaurant has a very cute atmosphere with a fun, Bikini Bottom feel. Service was prompt and friendly, and the food arrived quickly. We chose the AYCE option and appreciated that children are offered a half-price rate. One of my twins only eats crab, so we paid the higher price for her. Her sister initially ordered shrimp but later realized she wanted crab instead. We asked if we could upgrade her meal, but the request was declined. While we understand policies, the refusal felt unnecessarily rigid given the circumstances. Unfortunately, that put a damper on the experience, and because of it, we don't plan to return. Otherwise, the service and setting were enjoyable. read more

The Cajun Crab - Snow crab - Cajun/Creole Near Me - West Covina, California

Was craving crawfish so came here and had their AYCE. Early lunch on a weekday so the place wasn't too crowded. There was one server - I forgot her name - but she was very pleasant and helpful. There are two options for AYCE, the regular and premium, with the premium offering a pound of snow crab legs and blue crabs (1x each). It's a $10 more and definitely worth it if you like crabs. The crawfish, peeled shrimp, mussels, clams were all well cooked. The hot links, potatoes, and corn (one per side order) were also tasty and complimented the seafood well. They have a tons of fried foods you can order as well, but don't fill up on them as each order is full size! I recommend their house sauce and their spice levels are legit. Will definitely come back again. read more

Found this place after being quoted a 110 minute wait at Boiling Crab at 7 pm on a Sunday night. We were greeted and seated immediately. It wasn't dead but it definitely wasn't super busy. Our waiter explained the menu to us and we ordered AYCE, which is definitely worth it for the price. The more expensive option includes the choice of crab which again, is worth it even though you can order it once. One round is more than enough food to get full and their House Special seasoning is not too far off from "The Whole Shabang" at Boiling Crab. I will definitely be opting for here whenever craving a seafood boil! read more

The place is clean. Good ambiance. I am quite disappointed with the order. My take out order, which supposed to have shrimp, mussels, corn, extra corn instead of potatoes, but we did not get the shrimp and it came with potatoes. This is our first time in this place. Taste is mediocre. The quality of the crab is good. The order was already in the paper bag. We should have checked. I hope the order taker and the food prep will be more attentive to the orders too. We should get what we paid for. French fries were hard too. Service at the Boiling Crab was way better! read more

My boyfriend and I are in town from Sacramento and we decided to stop by for the first time because of the all you can eat option. I loved the aesthetic of the restaurant with the fun decor. The service was very quick and our server checked up on us frequently. We had about 3 lbs each with house sauce, spicy (it was pretty spicy and we handle spice really well). We later opted to go with medium level spice. I switched my sauce up to combine the garlic butter and Cajun and I really enjoyed that mix. We also got the Cajun fries, wings, garlic bread, sausage, and boiled eggs! Everything was great. The sausage was nice and thin. Their fries and wings were very crispy and the wings were fall off the bone. We wish the garlic bread was toasted more but it still tasted good! All in all we were definitely not disappointed! Would visit again! read more

Went on a Friday night and waited about 30 minutes, which was expected. Seafood came out fast, but fried food took an hour and only arrived at the end, along with water and lemon pepper we had asked for earlier. Calamari never came, though nearby tables got theirs right away. Portions were fair for the price, but service needs more routine, menus, drinks, and lemon pepper should be provided right when customers are seated. Sauce-wise, I recommend the house sauce (all season combined), since the Cajun just tasted like oil to me. read more

So happy seeing more AYCE seafood options open up around 626. This family-owned business in particular is one I'll be frequenting after tonight's experience. This review will be short and sweet as was the service. We never hailed for anything and it seems like they were always ready to take our next batch order (a task you'd be pained to perform at every AYCE establishment). Their AYCE option runs as a x/1 system for each category of seafood, side and deep-fried. However, they are quite lenient on the portioning and discourage over-ordering which is nice to experience. As for the food, I was a big fan of the peeled shrimp and clams. Both tasted very clean and reasonably plump. Their lemon pepper is extremely garlic-forward which tasted great. No vampires around here! Only complaint was that the Cajun was extremely salty as delicious as it was. Sucks to find a small family-owned business that you end up really liking and wanting to gatekeep but I wish them the best success if it means having a local go-to AYCE spot. read more

10/10 I fucken love this place it's wayyy better than the boiling crab and I used to be a die hard for that place but once I tried the Cajun crab I couldn't stop going. It's family owned as well so you would be supporting them rather than a big franchise. the customer service is great very welcoming and theres NEVER a line which is awesome. You also get ur food VERY fast. Also its a vibe its very decorated read more

If you're looking for real Cajun goodness in La Puente, stop whatever you're doing and head over to The Cajun Crab This place is a hidden gem and deserves all the praise.From the moment you walk in, you feel like you're walking into a family home -- because, well, you kind of are. The Cajun Crab is family‑owned, and that shows in every little detail: the warm greetings, the genuine concern for your dining experience, and the way they treat regulars like old friends.The customer service here is *top notch*. Servers are attentive, friendly, and always ready with suggestions if you're not sure what to try. They make sure your water is filled, check in on you at just the right times, and make you feel valued (not just another order number). And the food wow. The quality is absolutely amazing. The seafood is fresh, the seasoning is bold but balanced, and every sauce hits just right. Whether you go for the Cajun boiled crab, shrimp, or a combo, you can taste the care and passion behind each bite. The sides (corn, potatoes, garlic bread, etc.) are equally delicious no halfhearted efforts. If you want bold flavor, heartfelt service, and the charm of a family operation, The Cajun Crab in La Puente is hands-down one of the best Cajun‑seafood spots around. Highly recommend. I mean look at these crawfish absolutely delicious!! read more

My boyfriend recently moved to West Covina, and we've been on a hunt for a good seafood boil. The first place we went to wasn't anything special; however, the Cajun Crab is! We shared the Combo B, which had crawfish, shrimp, and mussels. We picked our sides, which were potatoes and sausage. It was great, especially their sauce. The Cajun Crab is transparent with their spice level, and I did observe other patrons underestimating the spicy sauce--it truly is spicy. If you are spice-sensitive, opt for mild or medium. The atmosphere was great, and I really loved all the ocean and sailor-themed decor. Lastly, the customer service is fantastic. Every waiter and waitress had checked on our well-being, and they were kind and attentive. I love supporting small businesses, and this is one I would happily return to. read more

Food was amazing no wait times but people be showing up and sitting which I like to see. I like how they have different options for certain accommodations.

The ambiance is amazing tvs watching sports and background music that doesn't distract conversations. read more

The Cajun Crab - Cajun/Creole Near Me - West Covina, California

First time trying this place and unfortunately we ended up with food poisoning from their seafood boil (snow crab legs + shrimp) yesterday. My partner and I were sick all night with vomiting, diarrhea, chills, stomach pain, and fever. This suggests there may be an issue with how the seafood is stored or prepared. Extremely disappointing experience and not something we'd risk again. read more

Food = 4.5 (fresh, good flavor) Service = 4.2 (good, timely) Price = 3.5 (avg., standard) Ambience = 4.2 ( decorated, plenty of spa e) Average total = 4.1 Food Came a month after it opened, and a few months after that. Had a good experience the first time, so I came to try it again. Both times the seafood was fresh. It was not overcooked or chewey. Many places the shrimps are powdery, or the clamp and crayfish is mushy. This place seafood had a solid texture. The Flavor was just right, not bland or salty. We chose the house special sauce. Eventhough we chose mild, it may still have some spice, for those that can not sat spicy. Since the food comes out fresh, it appears they don't precook it like most other places. So be warned that it will take some time for the food to come out. If you get the ayce, I recommend ordering the next round in advance. I also like how the food always come in a new bag with more sauce. Many places there's barely any sauce or they charge extra. The fries are very good and crunchy. The calamari was bland so you may need to dip it i. The sauce ,lemon or something. Service Service has been good both times that I have been there. Friendly server, and fast moving. But there were usually only 3 other families. How the service is when full, if ever, I can't say. Does not appear to be full often. So good place to go to without the wait compared to the other more known cajun places. Price Price is pretty standard, I would go more often if it was a couple of dollars cheaper. They do have discount prices for certain items. The ayce price for the higher tier if it was slightly lower, I bet more people would come. Right now at $49 is pretty steep, considering if you just eat say two times the amount you regularly eat. It would be cheaper that way. If you can eat more than a lb of shrimp or 1.5 lbs crayfish yourself then you would just even out the $49. If you can eat 2 lbs or more then I would justify the price. So regular menu is better. If they lowered the lower tier by $3 and higher tier by $5, now that's a deal and will get a 5 star. Ambience Big, plenty of space. Can accommodate large parties. Parking is decent. They have their own parking side of the plaza, separate from the other places. Inside is decorated in a bikini bottom like atmosphere. Clean area, clean restrooms. Overall I would go back to thos place more often if the price was a little lower. The service and food imo was better off than other places. I like how it is not crowed. So if my friends ask for cajun I would take them here instead of other places. **But be warned. This place charges for large party. I was surprised when I got home and saw an extra large party charge. I'm not sure if they had sign posted, but I wish they warned me when they gave me the bill. Still my fault for not looking at the bill correctly. I missed the small print hidden between the total, and taxes. That kinda put a sour taste in my mouth, and the reason I won't come back for awhile. They also needs to change it to 6 or more. On the bill it said a party of more than 6. We definitely did not have more than 6. read more
