Reviews for Ventura Crab N Spice in Ventura, CA
Don't know if we were spoiled by Orang County seafood/order by a pound places but this restaurant was a let down. We checked... this place out based on the good reviews on Google when we did a little trip to Ventura/Oxnard. Ordered the fried calamari,cajun fries, 2 lbs of crawfish (garlic butter and special sauce), claim chowder, cajun pasta, and garlic noodles. All of themwere really salty. The fried calamari was super dried and it's like over burnt popcorns. The crawfish was small and you canclearly see it's frozen. The only good thing was the cajun fries but they can't save the day for us. The prices were a littlecheaper than other similar restaurants in OC. Read more
The cream de la creme for Thai iced tea with (surprise!) free refill if you ask. Not the best seafood and the very worst... Galveston Bay oysters that were flat, lifeless, and should not be an option. Cute place, great servers, but the menu needs to beexpanded or tweaked to give a reason to come back. Read more
SO SO GOOD! Started off with a Michelada , fried calamari , oysters and garlic noodles . Everything to the the point, good in... taste, fresh and hot. Went with the pound of shrimps with the crab n spice flavor , damn that flavor is bomb , you just can'thave one. Also got the salmon and mussels combo i With some slaw. The prices are fair too , not too pricey for the sea food. Service is amazing as well , very courteous staff. Must visit Checkout @whatscookinginLA for more Read more
Food was awesome, a little heavy on spices but good overall, service was great and cheap thai tea. Crab was delicious.
Used to love shell out in Malaysia...most of the other restaurants in California only serve boiled crab with accompanying... sauces...but here it equals to a gravy kind of curry, even though all are boiled too. Very nice...crab was a bit salty but gravyof crab and spice was so good. Clams and shrimp was tasty and calamari would have tasted better if straight from wok toplate...since we took away it became a boy soggy, but taste was awesome and loved their service to.go Overall a happy pregnantmum.

The food was incredible! Absolutely delicious . It took a while to get seated. The service was pretty good but left some things... to be desired. But all and all, a fantastic place. I'll gladly go back! Read more
We were enticed here from Facebook with BOGO ad, got here quarter to closing on Sun evening and was told that they only accepted... takeout order at that time. Explained that we were only there because of the BOGO and it specifically said that dine-in isrequired. After checking with the manager, they OK-ed for us to dine in. We ordered just a pound of peeled shrimp each to makeit a quick and painless experience for all parties involved. We've been here one time years ago and remembered their house saucewas pretty good and that's what we went with. Shrimp came out about 5+mins later and was piping hot and smelled heavenly. Wewere offered forks that we gladly accepted even though we were ready to get our hands dirty and already had bibs on. We atequickly and also asked for to go boxes to enjoy the sauce over rice at home. We enjoyed the food and the girl who attended uswas great. The two missing stars is due to restroom in dire need of cleaning, it was disgusting in there. We asked for peeledshrimp but tail is still on? BOGO did not specify that they only discount $15.99 and not covering the upcharge for peeledshrimp. Read more
