About The Crab Hut

The Crab Hut is a unique restaurant that offers a blend of seafood and Vietnamese cuisine. The menu features a variety of dishes, including seafood boils and pho. The pho is a standout, with a rich and flavorful broth, generous portions, and tender beef slices. The beef pho is especially praised, with some customers calling it the best beef noodle soup they’ve ever had and tasting the most authentic. The chicken pho, however, received mixed reviews, with some not enjoying it as much. The seafood offerings include crab legs served with a spicy Cajun butter sauce that is just the right amount of kick, and the crab is cooked and cleaned perfectly, with meat that comes out easily. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, with a friendly waitress and a kid-friendly environment. Despite being quite interesting in its decor, the restaurant was noted to be quite empty at times. Customers appreciate the large, generous portions, especially the beef pho and Vietnamese chicken noodle bowl. The pho is served piping hot with plenty of meat and just the right noodles, although some found the noodles a little overcooked. The potatoes in seafood dishes could sometimes be cooked more thoroughly, but overall, visitors find The Crab Hut to be a great spot for a delicious meal, especially for those who enjoy both Vietnamese dishes and seafood. With a new owner and 10% student discounts, it remains a popular choice for a satisfying dining experience.
