Visited Boiling Crab last Monday right at opening, and there was no wait, which was a nice plus. Unfortunately, they were out of oysters and crab, but they did have lobster available. We gave it a try, and the extra sauce we ordered was definitely the highlight—rich, flavorful, and elevated the meal. While the limited menu options were a bit disappointing, the quality of the lobster and the tasty sauce made up for it. Overall, a satisfying experience despite the lack of variety that day.

Flavor was good but the lobster had a mushy texture and very little meat.
Following up on the owner's response, I did let the server know, he handled it very well which is why I left a good review for service. The wait staff was very pleasant and professional.

During our visit to LA, we dined at The Boiling Crab, where we ordered Snow Crab Legs, King Crab Legs, and Lobster, all priced at market rates. The Garlic Butter and Rajun Cajun sauces added a rich depth of flavor to the naturally sweet and fresh seafood. Additionally, we also sampled the Fried Catfish Basket and Fried Oysters, both of which were equally delightful.

Note: The restaurant opens at 3 PM on weekdays, so be sure to plan your visit accordingly!

Don’t bother! The shrimp was chewy and the crab mushy. Sauce was thick and weird. The quality of the seafood was poor at best. Waste of money and time! Spoke to the manager who gave us 30% off with an attitude. Never again!

I want to thank the host (wearing glasses ) and the manager for the kindness, They let me in as a last guest while the kitchen was about to close. Very cooperative!
