★★★★★ 5.0 Douglas Shin · Jan 2026

We visited The Boiling Crab with our family, and it was a great overall experience. I remember going to the Garden Grove location years ago and being surprised by the long lines back then, and this location was no different. Even though it was a weekday, we still had to wait about 30 minutes to get seated. The restaurant itself is very large, and there’s a separate area for to-go orders, yet it was still packed with people—which really says something about its popularity. After waiting, we finally ordered and enjoyed our meal, and overall, we were very satisfied. Our kids especially enjoyed it and seemed genuinely happy with the food. If I had to point out one small downside, it would be that there was a slightly bitter aftertaste toward the end. Aside from that, everything was very good.

I've been a loyal customer of yours for about ten years. Recently, I ordered some oysters in the shell, and I was extremely disappointed. Because they were pre-packaged, I only discovered after getting home that the meat inside each oyster was very small.It's fresh though.But what i think is at least you can tell me.It's not normal, isn't it?If i know what exactly going on inside I may order more. This was the worst experience I've ever had.

This location is good. They’re quick to seat you. Good for large groups or small. The staff is always very friendly and very attentive to checking on you. Celebrated a birthday would totally come back. We did come on the weekday which the wait time was only 30 minutes for a group of nine I’m sure on the weekend expect to wait longer. They do have a bar which we waited. Had some drinks and enjoyed the Cajun fries time went by quick.

Overall great customer service, the manager named Ryan was very helpful. There was an error on our order and he stepped in and corrected it in a professional and friendly manner. A great place with great customer service, writing this review just because of him.

★★★★★ 5.0 Alexandra Diaz · Aug 2025

I discovered boiling crab about 4 years ago now and I can never get enough! This specific location is my go-to, I've never had a bad experience. I make sure to hop on the wait-list when I'm a few miles away and shop across the street until I'm called. The shrimp and sauce is always delicious here.
