This is a casual, plain looking, decent size restaurant. It has a very small and inadequate parking area on site, but there is street parking available. The service is average and unhurried. The prices are moderate and its kind of a nice, informal place to go. The Fish and Chips was exceptional. The clams are served in large plastic bag with lots of garlic butter. They're small but its a good portion. They were out of several things including lobster and oysters. The garlic noodles side dish was tasty, cooked perfectly and was excellent. The restaurant's decor is very much like a typical New England shoreline (non-tourist) local restaurant with tables, a brick wall, standard decor. It was plain and comfortable. I might suggest that you look at the menu online before going and call to see what they're out of. All in all, it was a very good experience and is definitely recommended. We'll be back.

This is a total sleeper of a restaurant, and I'm surprised more people haven't wandered in just to check it out. I've lived in the neighborhood for a year now and walk frequently, and have always been curious about this place. I love a solid seafood boil so I finally came early on a Tuesday night. It was quiet in the restaurant but the service was super attentive, friendly, and quick. Ordered the combo B with snow crab, shrimp, and clams. Everything was cooked well, ordered medium spice and Louisiana sauce. Albeit SLIGHTLY oily, everything was just spectacular - especially the crab. I'll definitely be back.

One of the best Vietnamese Cajun style seafood boil restaurants. Better than boiling crab ? IMO. Wish their shrimp was bigger though. The garlic noodle side was lit ?.

Food was bland, very stingy with the sides ( 2 small potatoes 3 tiny pieces of corn per order) really wanted to like this place. Service was great friendly

I found this place on yelp and it was really good. The service was attentive and the price was cheaper than I expected. There wasn't a long wait at all and received our food promptly. I will recommend this place to anyone that ask where's a good crab boil. Also to mention they played some bangers.

We were visiting Los Angeles and wanted to have dinner before heading back home to SD, when it comes to seafood boil I'm pretty picky about where I go and I'm soooooo glad we came accros My Crab House thru Yelp. When we walked in we were welcomed, and was immediately seated, we sat outdoors where there were heaters available and a covered dining area, cute , clean spacious and well maintained. There was one server and it slowly got busy and I have to say the server did an amazing job assisting us and other customers. On to the food , it was BEYOND AMAZING! Everything was super fresh and flavorful , we will definitely be back !
