Reviews for The Boiling Crab in Rowland Heights, CA
Finally got our table after an hour wait. Minor gripe, but everything else was delicious! The taste was on point.... Shrimp/clams/crawfish/calamari were awesome. First timer gets the bib treatment. Read more
This place is my favorite! I get the whole sha-bang medium spice level every time. A pound of shrimp and add corn and potatoes.... I love the corn because when it gets soaked in the sauce, it is super flavorful. I don?t mind getting down and dirty withseafood. This is a real grub place with fresh seafood. I love that this place provides limes and the salt/pepper containers tosqueeze lime juice in. Boiling crab also has the best Cajun and/or lemon pepper wings. They are hot in temperature and veryflavorful! Their fried calamari are great! Personally, I am not a fan of a bunch of fried breading, so they do a really greatbalance of giving you actual calamari rings to eat! Their Cajun fries are always a must and I always make them at least medium.They are pretty light on their seasoning spice on the fries. But I love spicy food! I really enjoy this place a lot! Probablythe biggest seafood lover! Read more
We spent over $200 in take out... to be fair, the snow crab legs were good but just pricey... $42/lb (used to pay less than... $20/lb before the pandemic in 2019). The shrimp was "mushy", technically "not fresh" and it was very disappointing. It is thefirst time we order in this location, never encountered such mishap before in the chain. Downtown Los Angeles (Wilshire),Rosemead, Orange, etc.. Hope they take seriously our review to improve or avoid this in future. Read more

Bring your appetite. Portions are very good. Depending on what day you go expect a wait. Service is good but, hard to get... waitress attention when crowded. Prices are up there but it's expected with Seafood. Gumbo soup was plain. The make your own bagis the way to go but come hungry. Parking here not good at all. Spacious inside and can accommodate big parties. Read more
Four words can summarize my experiences at the Boiling Crab restaurant : comforty , deliciously Messy , and satisfying . As a... first timer dining at here , I am quite nervous at the begining as I wonder how and what should I order ? Once we were greetedby the friendly hosts who is very experienced and asked us if we were the first timer , once he know we are indeed the firsttimer , he gave us detailed infos on how the restaurant operate and he lead us to a comfortable booth . The second host cameover and with smiles and she took over five mintunues explaining to us how to order on the menu , what kind of seafoods therestaurant offer and she even gave us recommendations on the most pupular items . Our server Jared is polite and attentive andrefill our drinks constantly . We ordered the Gumbo Soup and two lbs Canjun shrimp ,with potato and corn . The Gumbo soup isfull of seafood flavours with shrimp and mashed sausages. The combination of the soup is perfect in taste and satisfying incontents . The Canjun style shrimp is just fantastic and amazing . Of the blend of spices , of the combinations of seasoning ,of the extra juiciness , we lost our self in enjoying the delicious shrimps that are so tender , full of flavours . I can't helplicking my fingers for that magic and tasty juicy . Don't judge us the messiness , it is deliciously Messy . I am verysatisfied with the whole dining experiences , the wait to dine in is less than 10 mins ; the hosts and servers are well trainedand polite . I enjoyed the inside the environments that is cozy , spacious and welcoming . We left this wonderful restaurantwith full satisfications , not just our stomaches , but full experiences . I can't wait to go back and try other items . Read more
Great spot. Massive location for many patrons. I could eat this all the time when I was younger but alas, in my age, it still... tastes amazing but my system can?t handle it too often. Nothing against BC, it?s about me getting old ;) lol Whole shebang,mild, sausage, love the corn, shrimp and potatoes. They were so slammed that they ran out of crawfish but I don?t normally orderanyhow. Too much work for the little shebang. Awesome time catching up w a friend. Service was awesome and had a michelada.Goooood stuff. Read more
