Reviews for The Boiling Crab in San Jose, CA
First time visiting the restaurant.Was not impressed at all. Quality of the food is ok. Flavor needs alot of help. Shrimp were... suppose to be lemon pepper. When shells are off no flavor. Dungeness crab were told weight 2-3 lbs. 1 of our crabs were smalland definitely didn't get weighed properly. Unfortunately crabs were not prepped where you can get to body meat. So only.legs.Not worth the cost. Terrible. Don't waste the money here. Read more

They made our party of 12 wait 1 hour plus to be seated, while they sat smaller parties of 2,4,6, & even a party of 8 before us.... That arrived 30-45 mins after us. It didn't make sense to me why they didn't connect tables to accommodate us, in order ofarrival. Terrible seating service, & there's No excuse for this in my opinion... Once in, the food, & service was good, but thereasoning for our 1+ hour seating wait, was unexcusable! I'm in the middle, & not sure it's worth that long of a wait if you askme. Especially for the excuse that they gave when asked, after seating the party of 8 before us. Read more
Delicious! The waiter was super friendly and helpful in deciding on what to get. I went with the 1/2 lb shrimp with cajun... seasoning at a spice level of Med (not too spicy but also not mild), I will def try the XXX next time. I also had the corn andpotato. You can't go wrong with the potato however the corn was eh. I will def be visiting again! Read more

Fantastic place for seafood! Highly recommend mixed sauce and you can adjust spicy level. We tried Shrimp, dungeon crab and... lobster, they are all good. Also recommend fried calamari, which is very tender. The only downside is that most of snow legsare out of stock. Not sure if it's due to off season or covid. But overall there are still many good options. Read more
We love seafood and this restaurant is amazing! We had shrimp, crab legs and mussels. Shrimp has the best value. Crab legs and... mussels were also good. Sauce was tasty and seafoods were so fresh. Since this place has such delicious food with good value,the line is always long. The first time we went here we were told to wait around 2 hours, which was crazy. So we didn?t end withhaving lunch here. The second time we went earlier and waited for half hour. Our two visits were for weekends lunch, maybe itwould not be that busy on weekdays. Read more
This restaurant is pretty good and reasonable. Don't be afraid for 'Market Price'. For 2 guys, $ 100 ~ 150 was also enough to... enjoy dishes. And special sauce makes dishes very good also. You can add some toppings like corns, boiled rice, ... Etc to enjoyit more. Service was also good. Read more
