The Kickin' Crab

This was once a favorite. So we went for our anniversary to remember those back in the day times. They didn't hit the mark. The crab was good and meaty. I was disappointed by the garlic noodles which once was delicious. This time they were tasteless oily noodles. As you see in the picture I tried to revive them by adding sauce from the bag and crab meat. When we tasted one of the TINY pieces of garlic you could not taste the flavor of garlic. How is that possible unless it was old. The potato was aldente (not cooked). The price is higher and you receive less. We ordered two 1lb meals of crab legs snow and king, and between the two we did not get one whole sausage link. That is just wrong. Cutting corners like this is diminishing your quality. Our server was as nice as he could be. The place is always clean and orderly. It's the food which missed the mark. For the money spent including tip $200 this simply is not acceptable.

Went in on a Friday night, no wait for a party of 3!
Waiters were very attentive.

We recently dined here as a group of 12. While we were fortunate not to have to wait for a table, the experience overall was underwhelming. The restaurant seemed short-staffed — no one came by to check on us during the meal, no refills were offered, and the service felt very disconnected. Food came out at different times for everyone, which made it hard to enjoy as a group.

It took over 30 minutes just to get our check after asking for it, and by the time we were leaving, the waiting area was packed. The cleanliness of the restaurant was also lacking — particularly the restroom, which was not well maintained

I understand serving a large party can be challenging, but the basics of service and cleanliness weren’t there. Unfortunately, I don’t see myself returning to the Westminster location.

Asian kid that works days there was unprofessional.. he made rude comments that made me and my girlfriend uncomfortable

The cashier was kind and my food great tasting... and was repeated for me when it was handed out. 👌

In one menu ???
Why the owner doesn't delete the old one before updating the new price? ?

Saturday 8/31/24 Dinner at The Kickin' Crab in Westminster with my sister. Celebrating a long weekend and craving for seafoods. Ordered boiled shrimps (3 pounds), corns, sausages, red potatoes in the kickin crab sauce, red and white rice, raw oysters, and fried calamari. The sauce was full of flavors which made all the seafood taste better. The raw oysters were fresh and tasted great with cocktail sauce, chilli sauce, and a squeeze of lemon wedge.

We enjoyed this meal over a conversation that my sister will be taking her vacation trip to Japan and for me hitting my milestone of reaching 10 million views as a GOOGLE local guide reviewer. We are so blessed!

Andrew and Joyce, service staffs, were friendly and very attentive to customers. They both were personable and service with a smile.

The restaurant had awesome decorations and played high vibe music with a well air conditioned diner.

This is our Go-To seafood boil and favorite KC in SoCal. Because Nine times out ten the sauce is always on point never too watery and seafood is fresh never served over cooked or like it died before cooking (shell hard to peel sticks to meat) and the Cajun fries are just nice and crispy just how we like ‘em. However they can improve on refilling the water and coming by our table a little more often. Other than that we’re here like once a week four times a month! Best time to come is before 630pm on weekdays and before 5pm on weekdays or else they’ll be quite a wait.

Unsatisfied with dine in hours when the restaurant closes at 10pm on a Friday night. Came in at 9pm and was told dine in had been closed already & were taking order to go only. It’s like refusing services to one & what got to me even more was that the couple in front of my husband and I were sat down and taken care of. While viewing that there were many empty tables. It’s just ridiculous. I have come here many times and this is the first time I hear this. I called the one in magnolia and were sweet enough to take us in even though they had a waiting list. I decided not to order food as I did not wish to eat at home. Would be nice if changes like this could be share online. I’ve worked for restaurants and have never refused anyone the service to dine in & especially an hour early. If it was a few minutes before closing i would understand & would order to go, but that was not the case on a Friday night to start the weekend. Very disappointed!!!

They dont take phone orders. You just lost years log customer.

Crawfish was frozen which is completely fine but the crawfish heads were black and they had a spoiled taste to some of them. I eat crawfish once a month and never had this experience with crawfish. The employees offered a discount but we couldn't eat any of the four pounds crawfish. The cashier was kind enough to remove the crawfish from our bill which we appreciated. I also have been to this location a few times and their food was always delicious.
