I don't often eat a $30 lunch unless there is more than one shot of Irish whiskey involved, but crab is not cheap. If you ever find cheap crab, it won't be GOOD crab, so be prepared to shell out some dough.
I went with the King because .. well .. if you're going to eat crab ... It was sweet and mild, and had no hint of freezer burn or anything that can make expensive crab unpleasant. So you get what you pay for.
This place is about a week old, so I guess this is still a "soft" opening. It is apparently Asian-run which is good, because Asians know from food. The seasonings (I went with the suggested combination of all) were spot on. Spicy (from the Cajun) but also buttery and garlicky. JUST hot enough not to overpower.
If you're looking for a green vegetable, I think the closest you'll get is cole slaw. The corn on the cob was, as expected, water logged, but the two red bliss potatoes were perfectly creamy.
I'd never seen seafood served like this - tied up in a plastic bag.. It DOES keep the food hot and moist. Probbly designed for takeout, but I guess it makes cleanup at the table much easier. You're given an apron and surgical gloves. Personally, I like to be a little more tactile, and I think slippery gloves would have caused several crab accidents. I'd really rather see wet naps at the end... or a finger bowl or something. Food came VERY quickly.
Come to think of it, it hunk of crusty bread would have been great to sop up the savory broth (of which a ton was left over.)
I guess they'll learn as they go. Anyway, beats crap out of bad pancake houses. Right smack next door to the liquor store, so BYOB will be very easy. read more
