Went here for lunch and tried the Chinese offerings. Food was okay although the xialongbao are not recommended. Service, though, was very poor. The restaurant was reasonably full with a strong late lunch crowd. But we could only see 1 manager and 1 server. They are supplementing this with a robot. The down side to this is not being able to ask for anything more you need. Another drink, etc. No one checked if our food was OK. It definitely impacted the overall experience negatively

Our new happy place! Asian-style Cajun/Creole and fried seafood with a great supplemental menu of biang biang noodles, xiao long bao, dumplings and wonton from the Xi'an Noodles people. The seafood boil portion was generous, and the green mussels were crisp and succulent. The happy hour jambalaya and étouffée were again Asian-style but tasty. I had a stiff Paloma cocktail worthy of that from a Chinese bar, although they did not have rye whiskey on hand for an interesting Black Walnut Manhattan. Relaxed spacious atmosphere, lovely panoramic Puget sound view, pleasant low-key service, and cute robot waiters add up to a good value dinner.

Can you top a crab pot? Yesiree! Perhaps put it to shame.
Views? Spectacular.
Food? Easily better than what I can recall or conjure.
Service? JR was a dream, attentive without being pushy. I can't recall feeling better after a meal.
Happy Crab is an inspiration to better food and better service.

Delicious! Excellent service, our server JR was so accommodating and brought our toddler extra noodles since he was loving them. The crab cakes, dumplings, and green beans were all fantastic. Will definitely be back.

The food was very good and the space is beautiful! We split the two person seafood boil combo and it was excellent shared. My only feedback is that the boil should come with at least two corn and two potatoes per person -- these are definitely the cheapest items to throw in, and they're so good for soaking up the Cajun sauce. One each feels a bit odd when there's more than enough seafood to go around!
Friendly service, and food and drinks came quickly.
We'll be back to try the noodles!!

FINALLLLYYY a good crab boil!!! Went here with a group of girls. Views are insane… it doesn’t even seem real. We watched the sunset at our table by the window. You can come here for casual seating with TVs or nice seating with water views everywhere. The staff was awesome. JR was our server and bartender, he was the friendliest human. Already back for the 2nd time this week and happy to see he’s our bartender again!
Went for a friends bday tonight. Food was good and server/bartender was nice. I’m sure the view is gorgeous but we went late so didn’t get to enjoy the view.

I had the pleasure of having my birthday lunch here at Happy Crab . My family and friends were all treated amazingly and everyone had nothing but great comments about the food & service.
The seafood boils and the Garlic Green Beans were my absolute favorites. I had never had a seafood boil like the ones here, the noodles that come included within all the seafood are unmatched, they were definitely a fan favorite.
The staff was incredible, I truly cannot recommend this place enough. As someone who’s a Washington Native, skip the Crab Pot and come check this place out!

Can’t get over the views and how flavorful everything here is. Pretty decent happy hour. The jambalaya is a must. I’m not even the biggest fan of seafood boils but I couldn’t stop picking at the food kid bc of how good it is.

Probably the best seafood I have had in Seattle. As a Washington native that says a lot. They were able to sit our party of 12 in about 5 minutes and not only that but, they were attentive to every person in the party including kids. The view was great, the food was better, and staff made it that much better. Will be back here again and will definitely tell everyone to come here. Thank you Happy crab for the amazing service!
