What is up with this place being CLOSED??!?!?!? MY FAVORITE PLACE & it has been closed for so long. I've tried other places and the seafood boil sucks! I need HAPPY CRAB & HOTPOT BACK!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!

Beautiful restaurant, good service, terrible food. Do not order the fried calamari. It’s nothing but breading and when you do find a piece of calamari it’s very tough and chewy. I think I got six pieces for 12.95. . I should’ve taken a picture. Anyway, now you know what not to order

Dined here last Friday with family and the food was So GOOD! Jay was so attentive and let us know about the best deals for what we were craving for. His service was top notch and I hope we have him every time we go because we definitely will be returning. The lemon pepper mild sauce was delish and kid friendly from ages 6-8. At least mine didn’t complain and wanted more shrimp and lobster. My toddler enjoyed the chicken tenders with fries appetizer as her meal, greatly portion sized. Can’t wait to eat here again!

Been here a few times now.It's my definite go to for seafood boil in riverside county.Upon walking in my always greeted immediately.Staff is very professional and helpful.I usually get thinking crab, two lobster tail combo and add a pound of shrimp.With potatoes, sausage and corn.Their house sauce medium is excellent.The right amount of spice, garlic and buttery goodness.The king crab cooked perfectly.Shrimp not overcooked like a lot of places.Corn perfect.Sausage perfect.Potatoes... here why it's 4 not 5 star.I always shave to ask for the potatoes to be well done. Otherwise they come out way too hard and uncooked. So just be sure you remind them to cook the potato.The inside is VERY clean. Ambiance is pretty chill.Nothing crazy, very casual.It's in a good area of corona. Nothing to be worried about lol.Overall would I recommend this place? Most definitely.Their seafood boil is my go to like I said in riverside county.It definitely fills the craving when it's time.Decor: upscaleStaff/service: excellentFood: above averageCleanliness: VERY cleanBathrooms: N/A didn't use them.

Parking: Lots of parking for all nearby businesses. No issues here.

Disappointed with kings crab legs it was dry and not fresh at all. The shrimp was divined but was overcooked or not fresh enough. Only mussels was good . The sauce too salty and not tasty. I spent 110$ for this combo but never enjoyed it. The service was excellent and the host was very friendly and nice. Sorry but I don’t think I will be going back again.

Since my boyfriend has moved to Corona, we’ve become semi-regulars of Happy Crab and Hotpot. We’ve always been delighted with our experience, the price, and the service.Usually, we’ll order the Combo 1 for the Happy Crab combos. It usually includes the option of crawfish, shrimp, mussels, or clams. My boyfriend and I always love getting crawfish, shrimp, and mussels. This comes with corn, potatoes, and sausage as well. We always get mild spiciness that still packs a bunch of flavor. Before, it used to be one pound per seafood item, but as of 05/08/24, it’s now two pounds. It’s a lot! You’re getting a bunch for what you’re paying for.We also love their hotpots as well! Moreover, we’ve always had a good experience with each waitress we’ve had. I definitely recommend this place. :-)

First time trying a hot pot and really enjoyed it. All the staff were super friendly, will definitely be back.

great food from a chill family owned business. We split a combo boil amongst three of us and it was delicious and the perfect amount for the three of us. The seafood was fresh and their Cajun sauce was amazing. They also have a good selection of beer and a neat thematic aquarium decor. Their hotpot also looked amazing but we did not get to try one this trip. next time though!
