I can see why they call this Aces! It is definitely the top of the deck when it comes to Louisiana boil complete with potatoes, corn, crawfish, shrimp, clams, mussels and the most delicious broth, this was a meal to remember. Also got gumbo which did not disappoint!

went here for a late Valentines date with my wife. our server was very nice. she made us feel comfy and helped us with our decision on what to get. the food came quick and hot. everything was super delicious ? small restaurant but that makes it feel more intimatewe both got the combo that was $65 exchanged the sausage for more shrimp and my wife got mild with garlic butter and old bay. I got spicy with garlic butter and old bay. spice levels were both perfect for us. our server even gave us a free cheesecake for dessert. we weren't sure what the flavor was but it was very good. I didn't like the small amount of sauce on the cheesecake though, kinda tasted like cough syrup, but my wife liked it. I just scrapped some of the sauce off and it still tasted good ??

Most amazing seafood boil place I've ever ate at! I mean way better then boiling crab or even crab hut all ur chain seafood boil restaurants I'm sorry they can't top this place. Ace crab really got the ACE!

Was greeted and sat right away. It is a smaller place so you may have to wait to be seated. Had the Soju cocktail by recommendation from server. Soooo good! We ordered the calamari-very good-and everyone liked the house sauce served with it. Overall, great boil! Good spices and not overcooked.

It was a cold day, so I ordered the pho. It was very good, just what I needed. They have all sorts of seafood, we tried the breaded calamari too, and they were nice and crispy.

I've been to this place twice now and it's amazing! I always get the half a lb with the ace sauce in medium. It's sooo good! They are so friendly here and the restaurant has a nice vibe. I will def go back here again and recommend to anyone that I know.

This was my first time going to this establishment and I was let down when my shrimp was not cleaned properly. When I addressed this to the waiter he told me they leave the shrimp as is because the steamer will make the shrimp mush if they cut and clean. I ordered a 1/2 lb of the shrimp and got a full lb. I spent $18 and felt gross trying to clean and eat this

Super clean restaurant. The pho broth was one of the best I've had in San Diego so far! I will be coming back to try the seafood. Quick and great service. Betty was such a joy to work with! I definitely recommend trying this place out.

Great food and their service is amazing I've been there 10+ times and every time I'm amazed the food is bomb the SSK combo is my go to with the ACES sauce medium spice. They always have games on the tv so good place to go eat and watch some Basketball baseball or soccer! Highly recommend

We love this place! It's right down the street from our house so it's our favorite for takeout. The pho is INCREDIBLE and amazingly priced. We recently tried the seafood and it's also delicious. Highly recommend! They always treat us with the best serve as well.

I was distracted by the skeeter bites, and forgot to mention we had the clam chowder which was perfect, fried fish that was both delicate and crunchy, and jambalaya--best I've had in years! The food is awesome & we do keep going back!
