Went with my family for lunch. We ordered spring rolls to start, which we all liked. We also ordered pho (beef) and the broth was just warm, which we didnt like. We had to ask for more broth since it also didnt have enough, which also came warm. The flavor was also lacking. The crabby fried rice was good. We also ordered seafood boil, bikini bottom with garlic and cajun sauce on medium heat and was also a bit disappointed in that. Lacked flavor and felt more like mild than medium heat since theres no kick at all.Parking: A couple of 15 min parking spots, but can really park there for more than 15 min.

I would only recommend the seafood platters here. Skip the noodle soups and other Vietnamese dishes because there are so many Vietnamese restaurants around that are way better with traditional dishes. Service is mediocre and cumbersome. They forgot the drinks that we ordered. We had to ask for plates. Parking spots specifically for the restaurant are available but are marked with 15-minute parking only. We were told that we can park there for 15-30 minutes. Really?! We have 30 minutes to order and finish our meal?! Parking at Eden Center is hellish on weekends. If you don't mind breaking there 30-minute parking rule, you have parking.

Ordered shrimp garden rolls : they were pretty tasty. Little bit of wilted lettuce but good overall all. Fresh. A- Ordered shrimp fried rice : nothing special but good. C Ordered an everything pho (non seafood) : the soup came out Luke warm.. I was expecting a big bowl of "steamy" pho and received a bowl of disappointment... was sad.. D- Ordered the 76-86$seafood platter (forgot price) : Served on a huge tray. Again... food wasn't pipping hot as expected. Lobster was a tad bit rubbery. Shrimp were all small.. crab legs were average and both other crabs I ate were just ok.. meh. Everything was DRENCHED in garlic. I love garlic but damnnnn, I like to taste seafood too. Crawdads produce little meat. D Service was nice . A Overall sadly I will not be dining back at crabby noodles. Perhaps in a year or so I'll try again. "D" grade..

Was visiting Eden Virginia from Orlando. The food was great. The seafood was very flavorful and the pho is very authentic. Place is clean and well decorated. Congrats to Mr. Tri Le on the fine establishment. -Phu Pham Orlando

I visited an interesting restaurant serving Vietnamese and fusion food with Cajun spices. I ordered cajun pho with spices and found it unique, although it may only suit some palate. I suggest ordering either Vietnamese dishes only or Cajun seafood only, as combining both flavors may not work well. Overall, it was an interesting experience.Parking: This place locates in Eden Center, free parking in front and plenty more in the back.

The staff was very friendly and inviting. The crabby pho was not good. Would not return for pho especially when there are so many other good pho places in Eden Center. The noodle texture was off and looked as though it was not properly prepared and/or old.

@crabbynoodles Phố + Seafood broil = Heaven! Rare steak phố: A win for me, I'm generally really picky about phố since I'm part viet & grew up with homemade phố. Would order again! Ocean Boil: A classic seafood broil that can do no wrong with snow crab AND dungeness crab. Warning this is on the spicier side, so keep that in mind when ordering. Crabby fried rice: Delish fried rice, definitely recommend ordering. It brought the meal together, in my opinion. Beignet cakes: Slight crisp on the outside and boozey/fluffy innards were the perfect way to end our experience here! Overall, I loved it and will bring my family here. I highly recommend checking them out! $125~ total - insta @ SpicyAivy Tiktok @ AivyLeague
This newly opened Vietnamese seafood gem at the entrance of Eden Center impressed me beyond words. The waitress was incredibly helpful, guiding us through the menu with expertise.The Crabby Fried Rice was a flavor explosion, easily one of the area's best. And the Oxtail Pho hit the spot perfectly for the weather.Bonus: Ample parking in the back makes it convenient to visit. A must-try for vietfood and seafood enthusiasts!

Fantastic spot! A fantastic place to get your Cajun seafood and Vietnamese fix. We ordered egg rolls, ribeye pho, crabby fried rice (seafood added), the Ocean Boid platter, and beignets. The medium garlic sauce was actually pretty spicy! It had great flavor and was great to dip the seafood in. The star of the show for me was the pho and Fried Rice. The pho had amazing flavor, my friend is Vietnamese and typically doesn't like a ton of pho at restaurants but really enjoyed this one. The fried rice had fantastic flavor and with all that seafood, it made it a 10. The beignets were melt in your mouth, I could have eaten 20 if I wasn't so full. It's not all you can eat, but the seafood platters are huge and filling, plus it's a nicer place than a lot of the AYCE seafood places. Definitely give this one a try!

I've been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got the opportunity to go with my family! Best dishes are definitely the soup and lobster noodle dishes! The bun bo hue was light and refreshing. Had the fragrance of a traditional bun Bo hue without the oily feeling after. The pho didn't even need extra hoisin bc the soup was so tasty on its own (though I like to add some anyways). Lobster noodles was such a star dish! very sweet/savory and balanced, lobster meat was a nice texture too! The seafood boil was delicious, I wish the crab had more meat on them but still good none the less. I'd say that the seafood boil is not as great compared to other places but it still hit the spot for me. Store ambiance was modern, pretty quiet but felt like a nice intimate experience. Service was good, we got everything we needed, was provided extra utensils, napkins, bibs and gloves for the boil. we were also given this winter melon tea which was rly nice since it's been cold outside.

I've come to Crabby Noodles twice now: once during their grand opening and today. Their seafood boil is BEYOND DELICIOUS! I've tried the snow crab, lobster, clams, and crawfish and everything has been cooked to perfection. I could drink their Cajun sauce.They currently have a buy 3 get 1 free deal for their seafood boil! Run, don't walk!
