Flavorless. Pretty disappointed especially for the prices they offer. Headless shrimp tasted like the juice was really watered down and the sausage tasted like cheap weenies. Plaza Bonita crab spot is better.

Our visit to Crab City was an amazing experience from the moment we walked in. The food was outstanding, everything was seasoned perfectly, cooked just right, and full of rich, fresh flavor. You can really taste the quality in every bite. From the seafood to the sides, every dish we ordered was delicious and worth every penny.
What truly made our visit exceptional were the two ladies who assisted us throughout our meal tonight. Their service went above and beyond anything we expected. They were friendly, attentive, patient, and made sure we had everything we needed the entire time. It’s rare to find customer service that genuine, and they really made us feel welcomed and appreciated.
Because of both the amazing food and the exceptional service, we will definitely be recommending Crab City to anyone looking for a great dining experience. We’ll be referring our family and friends, and we’ll absolutely be coming back ourselves. This place is a gem and deserves all the praise.

Last night, my girlfriend and I went to Crab City on National Ave in Barrio Logan. We ordered a boil including the king crab legs, crayfish and shrimp. They brought out a 14 inch plate that had a dozen crayfish or so, 2 king crab legs and maybe 20 pieces of shrimp. It also included small corn cobbs, potatoes and sausages. The sauce they put on it was the spicy sauce but it was extremely thick and sticky. As we ate the food it was very clear that all contents of the platter served was frozen and not fresh. You can tell it wasn't fresh because the king crab shell was soft and the meat wasn't sweet, the crayfish was tiny and the meat was tuff and flavorless. It's almost like the thick geliten type sauce was layered in abundance to cover the bland taste of the frozen seafood we were served. Not to mention the corn was soft and mooshy and probably came out of a green giant bag of frozen corn on the cobb from smart and final. When we got the check the charged us 200 dollars for sub par seafood in small portions. When I asked about how they priced king crab legs, they said they charge 110 dollars per clutch. But we only received 2 legs, no claws so that means we were charged 55 dollars per single king crab leg.
I paid our bill and went to the restroom to mop off the viscose sauce on my hands and there was a sign inside the bathroom, attached to the door, notifying patrons that they were being watched by cameras to deter bathroom taggers. It was uncomfortable and my girlfriend didn't even want to go inside of the bathroom in fear of being watched.
Overcharged us, food was frozen and we were being monitored. Not a good experience.

👍Lunch special before 3pm is the best overall value under $25 for this big 1b 🦐 shrimp bag/corn/sausage and also comes with white 🍚 rice and a drink 🥤food was delicious 😋
I took a star ⭐ off because the manager upfront told me not to bother the cashier because she was busy, and herself was busy, she said wait to be seated. But then a group of 5 people went to pay for there meal and the cashier stopped what she was doing and helped them immediately. Super frustrating, just to sit down.

First time trying this place. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Although I can't eat here on the regular, I would definitely come back and eat here again. Excellent service from all the staff, but Luvia was especially attentative, to customer needs adding to the already great experience.

Came here with my boyfriend and we loved loved it! The food, service, music, and the vibes are all amazing! We pigged out on the shrimp and wings and overall a good experience.
I absolutely love this place. The flavor is amazing just the right spice for me. I always get mild house special. The seafood is always fresh and hot. Adding on to the amazing taste, I have to mention the beyond amazing customer service. My family and I have been coming here for the last 3 years.
Let me start with Sandra, she is so knowledgeable of the menu and always suggests the best dishes. Always greets us with a smile and is in point refilling our drinks.
Lluvia is also very kind and attentive to our needs. Always friendly and approachable. She definitely makes us feel appreciated and welcome.
Last but not lease, Liz is always nice and remembers our preference even when I call on the phone she recognize my voice and always remember my favorite dish. And when we dine in she’s always happy to see us.
Overall, this place is amazing! Fantastic food and excellent customer service.

My first negative review was because there was a place with the same poor Cajun flavor as yours. The name didn't match, so I mistakenly deleted the review and wrote it again. I apologize for not matching the name. I had a lot of reviews within 30 minutes because I was processing them all after returning from a trip, which is why I got the two mixed up. Thank you for understanding. I can recommend this place; it's quite good and the taste is much better than the other one.
