Had the snowcrabs, potatoes and sausage in cayenne pepper sauce. The crab legs were meaty and seasoned well. Customer service was great. And the bathrooms are clean. You won't be disappointed.

Party of eleven an assortment menu items. Everyone praised their dish. The calamari was off the hook, delicious! Pleasant atmosphere and the staff was excellent.

We accidentally found this place on our 4th day on Oahu. What luck!!! This has been HANDS DOWN the BEST food, service, and atmosphere we have encountered. We tried Dukes on the strip in Waikiki and were not impressed. Then we came here the next night. The attentiveness of the staff, making sure we had what we needed, that we enjoyed the food, and even going as far as to check to see if we wanted to order any additional drinks before happy hour ended, was extraordinary. Mahalo! We will def be coming here anytime we visit Oahu.

We wanted to order Dungeness crab but they only had the legs. So we ordered snow crab combo with Karai special sauce. Taste was great and good amount of food for 2 people if you are not big eater. Service was really good too!If you are craving for seafood, I highly recommend ?

We came during happy hours (4-6:00), the snow crab legs and some cocktails were on special, it was very quiet. Quick and attentive service, I would recommend the Karai sauce, and the mild level of spicy.

The food was fantastic and the service was very friendly and helpful. Great value for what you pay for, especially during happy hour (reservations through Yelp.) We had the kraken and it was definitely more than enough for our party of 4, could've used 2 more people with us honestly.Parking: The parking was a little confusing at first but after consulting their website, we found a link at the top that showed a very helpful short video showing where to park. We had our ticket validated and took half of the cost off.

It's not a seafood restaurant rather it's a crab restaurant. If you're not going to eat crabs don't go there.

I enjoyed my meal here!! I got the 1.25 lbs of snow crab legs with a side of french bread and a blue Hawaii, and my husband got the prime rib with mashed potatoes and a pineapple mana beer. Everything was super yummy! Our waiter was very kind, as well as the other employees who checked in with us. The restaurant was also clean (note: I watched the employees sweep out under the tables after each party had left before cleaning the tables and resetting them! +1 point ?).My "normal" crab experience is snow crab leg clusters that I have to crack myself, with a side of melted butter. This experience was pretty close to that! These crab legs came with a sauce and seasoning choice. I ordered a garlic butter "sauce" with mild seasoning on it (mild = no seasoning basically). They were a little slippery to open, but not too hard. The crab legs came in a metal bowl which made it easy to dip the crab meat into the sauce at the bottom ? They also give you gloves and bibs, as well as scissors with a cracker on it, and a crab pick knife. Plus the table had one of those napkin dispensers, so you always have napkins!The prime rib was a newer special item that they were testing to put on the menu. My husband really enjoyed it - we think it should stay!! It was nice having a non-seafood option ?Overall I enjoyed my experience at Karai Crab and would definitely come back!
