Really enjoyed our Cajun seafood blow out here. Super friendly greeting as you go in the door and quickly served beers and a mountain of oysters and spicy seafood, all of which was fresh and delicious. Waitstaff checks in on you and is right there with all needs. Ended up giving us a $20 anniversary discount as well, which was an unexpected bonus. Not one bad thing to say.

The restaurant is located down in the Salt District and is easy to find. The service was great and the food was good. The price is a little expensive, but if you want a good seafood boil with flavor, this is the spot.Our server was great, had drinks and refills out quickly, and was nice when recommending that it was more cost effective if you purchased a combo with snow crab than to order it individually.

I’m from California and this location didn’t give the same vibe as the California locations. Maybe it just this one time, but the shrimp was very mushy. We couldn’t peel it without it falling apart. Oysters tasted like they sprinkled salt on it to make it seem like it’s “fresh”. We are on an island, I would think that the seafood is fresh. Sauce was great and tasted the same. The atmosphere was kind of dead. Server seems to be disappointed about something and wasn’t very happy serving us. We sat on the second floor and the bathroom was located outside of the restaurant on the first floor.

I LOVE the shabangbang shrimp! The mixture of garlic and spices is addictive on the shrimp and rice. I haven’t had an issue with service once here, always smiling faces checking on you.Parking: Large paid parking garage, but super cheap compared to other garages in the city. It costs only about a dollar for an hour, more or less.Kid-friendliness: This restaurant has a very family friendly atmosphere, plenty of space at tables for high chairs. Kid friendly options on the menu.

This is the best seafood boiling in Hawaii of all time. The food is tasty, and the service is always nice. Every time we travel to Oahu, this is the place we must go to eat.

Was looking for a place that had recently shut down, so we tried Boiling Crab instead. A great decision. We had shrimp and catfish for lunch and the sauce is so good. Service was top teir. Good times on Christmas eve.

i love going to the Boiling Crab! There's usually not long of a wait whenever I go. The service is great, friendly staff and the food is always on point. Located in a nice area but parking can be hard to find sometimes around dinner time.

The crabs were boiled for too long. But at least the flavor was good. My drink wasn't very strong

Love this place so much but unfortunately I must have been drawn a bad hand and got the unlucky food poisoning shrimp. Everyone else in my party was fine but I unfortunately wasn't feeling well all night afterwards. If you manage to be one of the lucky ones, this place is the bomb. Honestly, it's worth the gamble
