Excellent service with genuine personal care. The food was delicious. The original sauce is a must try. Prices feel refreshingly affordable, making the experience even better. Five stars for this place.

If you’re looking for the best Cajun seafood boil in Alhambra, The Boiling Crab is the spot! ✅We tried the crawfish, shrimp, and corn on the cob with their signature “The Whole Sha-Bang” seasoning and it was absolutely delicious. ✅The seafood was fresh, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. ✅The seasoning blend had the perfect mix of garlic, butter, lemon, and Cajun spice — not too salty, just right. ✅The corn on the cob was sweet and juicy, soaking up all that amazing sauce. ✅Service was friendly, the atmosphere was casual and fun, and the food came out hot and fresh. If you love seafood boils, crawfish, or shrimp in Los Angeles County, you need to check out The Boiling Crab in Alhambra. ✅Checkout our YouTube channel @ Mike Pho Travel Vlogs for Video Review ▶️ ✅We’ll definit

So yummy. We did mussels, shrimp, potatoes and corn with the medium spice level. Our server was attentive. There was no wait when we arrived and it quickly got busy. We enjoyed our time.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Vandana Singh · Jan 2026

The food was good, as usual, but the service at this location wasn’t very attentive. We had to ask for nearly everything, though it was eventually brought out. The wait time was extremely long—over two hours—even though there were many open tables.

★★★★★ 5.0 Vonnae Lewis · Feb 2023

First time at this location, and it didn't disappoint me at all. There was a wait of 40-45 minutes for a table. Thank God there was a Starbucks on the corner because it was cold and raining, and they were crowded on this evening. Once seated, we were greeted by a nice and friendly waitress who offered beverages while we decided on what we would like to order. The food was delicious, with great music and atmosphere. They have TVs in case you want to see the game. A special sink where you can wash your hands. They can get a little messy if you get the boil. Overall, I had a wonderful time and would recommend you to try.
