    hot & spicy chicken
    Adam Y.

    Who said we don't have authentic Chinese restaurants in the north. The Crab House in Broomfield is a hidden gem and probably one of the best tasting Chinese restaurants in town. Most foodies only know it as a popular Cajun seafood restaurant in the area, but what makes this place sparkle is actually its Chinese menu. The chef used to be the executive chef of five star hotels in China and primarily only prepare the Chinese menu for the true connoisseurs. To be exact, they specialize in the Huaiyang and Sichuan cuisines. For foodies who know how the different dishes taste in China, they would not be disappointed here. For foodies who want to taste authentic Chinese cuisine, then you cannot miss this restaurant. Here are their vegetable fried rice, triple delight and hot & spicy chicken. The Crab House is about three minutes from the Great Wall Supermarket.

    Interesting new restaurants that pop up in the Westminster area always pique my interest, and The Crab House was a new addition to the location - I'm a big fan of cajun and seafood flavors, and Westminster isn't super know for having seafood restaurants, so I was definitely excited to try this place out! I've been to the Crab House on two separate occasions, so I think I have a decent holistic view of this restaurant. The restaurant isn't very busy on my two visits (a Saturday and a Sunday around 7pm), so there isn't a wait time and you're likely to get seated almost immediately if you decide to stop by. The service is fast around the times I have visited, and after ordering, you should receive your food in about 5-15 minutes. As other reviews have mentioned, the decorations and interior are a bit corny for a seafood restaurant, but I think it gives this place a certain whimsical charm. I've been able to try the Combos and Po'Boys which I'll review down below: Seafood Boil Combo ($53): The boil comes out to a decent size - split between four people, may be a bit underwhelming since the boil is mostly shellfish and looks to be more than it actually is. Since it is a boil, you get some gloves and a bib to put on, just be prepared to get messy. I thought the flavor was pretty tasty! We got the All In One sauce, which I thought had a nice and tangy garlic flavor with a decent and warming heat. There are also halved Yukon potatoes, headless shrimp, and corn cobs underneath the seafood - these really soak up the sauce. For $53, it is decent given the amount and variety of seafood that you can get here. Shrimp Po'Boy ($11): Similar to the boil combo, it is a little bit underwhelming since the sandwich was a bit smaller than I expected, you only get like 4-5 pieces of shrimp in your sandwich - but the shrimp was fried nicely and the sandwich was hot coming out. There isn't a lot of sauce on the shrimp, so you may feel like you are wanting a bit more dimension to the sandwich. Overall, I thought it was a decent place to fix your cajun/seafood craving in the Wesminster and Broomfield area - you'll probably spent around $11 - $25 for a decent meal here. Though next time, I would just stick with the boil as it seems like what they are best at here.

    I didn't order the regular menu. But the crab house authentic Chinese menu is amazing. The best I had in CO. The chef was executive head chef at five star hotel. Everything is so good. I am looking forward the next dine experience and will preorder something is not listed on the menu. Don't fooled by the seafood boil menu. The Chinese authentic food is the real gem in this restaurant

Water was cold and refilled without us having to flag anyone down, which matters more than it sounds like when your hands are covered in Old Bay and butter. The dining room itself was clean, well-kept, and the energy was warm without being chaotic -- easy to talk over, easy to relax into. We finished with ice cream, which was a nice, unexpected way to close out a meal built around mess and spice. Boils here are market-priced, so it's not a cheap night out, but between the portion size, the sides included, and the attentiveness of the staff, it didn't feel like we were paying for atmosphere or hype -- it felt like we got what we paid for. This is a great pick for a group that doesn't mind getting their hands dirty -- girls' nights, birthdays, anyone who wants a seafood boil that doesn't take itself too seriously. If you're looking for a quiet, tidy dinner where you never touch your food, this isn't it, and that's exactly the appeal.

    Formal Complaint Regarding Experience on 7-9-2026…read more To the Management Team, I am writing to express my profound disappointment regarding my recent visit to your establishment on 7-9-26 Having visited several times in the past, I have previously enjoyed your shrimp platter; however, my experience this time was deeply unsatisfactory. My visit was marred by unprofessional and rude service from the staff members on duty. When I politely requested lemons, my request was met with dismissiveness. Furthermore, when we raised a concern regarding the quality of the fried rice which appeared to be plain white rice with frozen vegetables rather than the fried rice we have received in the past our concerns were ignored, and our request for a simple substitution of fries was flatly refused. I was also shocked to see additional line items on our bill for requests that are standard in the service industry. Specifically, I was charged $1.00 for a request for "extra crispy" fries, and I have previously been charged for simple accompaniments like lemons. Charging customers for basic food preparation preferences feels both petty and indicative of a lack of commitment to customer satisfaction. The combination of hostile service, a significant decline in food quality, and the nickel-and-diming of standard requests has made it clear that I will not be returning to your business. I believe it is important for you to be aware of how these practices are impacting long-term customers. I hope you take this feedback seriously to prevent other patrons from having similar experiences. You have lost a good customer. Will never come again. I hope others will not go. I am sure we will find place support and find good food.

    Overall: Not fully what I expected for hotpot (more details below) but they give generous meat…read moreportions and good service. Would come to back to try their Korean dishes but would prefer to go elsewhere for hotpot unless a friend has a strong preference for this place. Food Cuisine: I was expecting either Korean hotpot (Jeongol) or Korean Chinese fusion because of it being a Korean restaurant and their main selling point - AYCE hotpot. It seemed like they tried to do something between regular Chinese hotpot (but without the in-your-face bold broth flavors) and Japanese shabu shabu (but minus the ponzu and simple, straightforward flavors) with some side Korean kimchi. They also had some typical Korean dishes and lots of alcohol options. The broth: None of the four broths we tried had a wow factor. Maybe the mushroom was the one to try. -Bulgogi is mainly salty and not well flavored. I don't taste any reminisce of a bulgogi flavor. My partner thought it was basic but he thoroughly enjoyed it. -Miso was good but it's hard to get that wrong. -Spicy Thai tomato flavor was okay. -Yuzu jalapeno was also okay but it was novel. It reminded me of a lighter and less rich version of Tom kha soup with yuzu and jalapeno instead of lime, lemongrass, galangal, and chili. The meats: Generous portions or maybe they're good at gauging the right portion for the number of people. We only had to make one meat order (lamb, pork belly, tripe, beef) during our order for a group of four and we ate every bit of it. The hotpot ingredients in the back: A decent variety of veggies, mushrooms, meat/seafood balls, seafood, and noodles. All seemed to be washed well and fresh. The sauce bar: Decent selection. A couple of interesting, not-so-typical sauces and mostly typical hotpot sauces. Service: Every table has a service button and an ordering tablet so you don't have to wave anyone down. Very nice staff who stays on top of maintaining the food and area. Space: Lots of seating. Leg room is not great for tall people unless you sit on the ends. Personal Note: Group vote - half of us liked the hotpot and would come back for the hotpot here and the other half of us were not into the broths and would prefer to do hotpot elsewhere. Note: The half that would not come back are the ones who grew up eating hotpot in the US and in Asia (we've tried Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese style hotpots), so that might make us two more critical with higher expectations.
