Since they changed management, they seem to have more additional items on the menu. We often order cajun seafood to-go from this place. Only dine-in twice and the service was not that good and they seem to be short staff. Both times the servers seem tired and running around so it's not easy to get water or check. Even to pick up online order, at times we had to wait awhile as no one manning the cashier or the cashier couldn't handle several customers waiting to pay or pick up.The cajun seafood is fine, pretty much similar to any other cajun seafood places around here. The additional items are mostly good: fried calamari is good with generous portion, mac & cheese, cajun fries are not bad.Recently they added Vietnamese coffee & boba drinks to the bar. I tried the egg coffee and it's quite interesting. The boba drinks are so-so. Used to be able to order these drinks from their online order but now it's not there any more so not sure if they take it out of the menu or not.

I'd give it 3.5 stars! It's a solid option for seafood boil if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. If you need a place for big groups - this place has MANY big tables! Fun ambiance.What I ordered this visit:Garlic Noodles (5/5): I was skeptical about the price, but it was WORTH IT! Packed with flavor and the pasta was perfectly cooked. Very garlicky and cheesy. Not too much oil!Combo #1 (3/5): Decent! The best part is the house special sauce. Savory with a bit of tang. Lots of butter and garlic of course. A downside for me was the overcooked shrimp - pretty dry. The crawfish was cooked well though! Overall satisfying, but not great.Avocado Coffee (4/5): Yum!!! I loved the taste of this. You really taste the creamy avocado flavor paired with strong viet coffee. -1 star because they put WAY TOO MUCH ice. However, the drink is still really good as the ice melts. Doesn't dilute the flavor much?Some highlights: Very clean hand washing station! Staff is very friendly and efficient. They are very helpful with questions too.

"Bay Crab in San Jose is a seafood lover's paradise! From succulent crab legs to mouthwatering shrimp, every dish bursts with freshness and flavor. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service make it the perfect spot for a memorable dining experience. Don't miss out on their signature crab dishes – they're simply irresistible!" The store manager makes customer service his priority and believes that customers comes first strategy. He made our visit very pleasant and was on point.

I'm always a skeptic of restaurants IG foodies rave about on their reels. This restaurant has exceeded my expectations and definitely worthy of those raves. No kidding, this is a visually appealing restaurant with just as delicious food! My boyfriend and I ordered: Combo #1 Medium Hot Backyard Boil ($50) - Clams - Crawfish - Mussels Cajun Fries ($5) The servers were always attentive and checked in frequently for water refills and asking about our meal. It took around 5 minutes for appetizers to arrive, 15 for 3lbs of seafood grub. This was adequate for 2 empty bellies to finish! The fries are crispy and fresh, with plentiful of Cajun seasoning. They do not miss on the spices, especially since the seafood had a delectable balance between spicy and sour from their lemon pepper seasoning. The mussels were slightly over cooked, but still tasty. Clams are what to be expected, bursts of sauce caved into the shell. I need to know where they get their sausages, because it's so juicy! The crawfish were the showstoppers, larger than anything you'd get at Kickin Crab. This restaurant is severely underrated for your seafood boil needs. I'll be back to try some of their other dishes and lunch specials!

Every time I come here I try something new. Everything they serve is fantastic! Nice and spicy seafood and the chicken wings amd fries are some of the best ive ever had. The service is awesome as well. I never have had to ask for refills and just overall the staff are always happy and pleasant.
