Crab house — Restaurant in Edison

My love for seafood brought me to this new restaurant conveniently located in the hmart shopping center. It is on the 2nd floor above the korean skincare store. The restaurant actually shared the same space as the fish house. One side is the fish house and the other side is the crab house. We it's for the crab house because it was something different.

We were seated at the window with a great view of the shopping center. It wasn't all that busy around 12pm on a Saturday. We ordered the crab roe over noodles, can roe and roast pork soup dumplings, and sweet and sour pork ribs. Woke waiting for our order, they brought our salted peanuts, black fungus salad, and this pickled dish. Loved the black fungus salad. It was light and refreshing! The pickled dish wasn't something I would normally gravitate towards so it was barely touched.

The soup dumplings and crab roe noodles came out first. At first sight, the amount of noodles that came with the crab roe was very little. I know crab roe is expensive but they could of given more noodles, which is relatively cheap. Overall price for this dish was $32.95 so although it was very delicious, it 32.95 wasn't worth the price for the portion size.

There wasn't much flavor to the crab roe and roasted duck soup dumplings. There was a slight duck flavor which definitely covered up the crab roe flavor. I would recommend just getting the plain crab roe dumplings on their own.

Last dish was the sweet and sour pork ribs, which was very flavorful and tender. The meat was fall off the bone and the sauce was more of a tomato sauce.

Overall, an OK place to check out but don't expect to walk away feeling full. All serving sizes are quite small for the price so something to keep in mind if you decide to give this...

Crab House (connected to Fish House) is one of those spots getting a lot of buzz online, especially for their crab roe over rice and noodles—and yes, the hype is real. We got both versions, and they absolutely delivered. The roe sauce is rich, briny, and deeply savory, coating every bite of rice and noodles with a luxurious, ocean-y umami. It’s bold but well-balanced—definitely a standout.

We also ordered the acorn squirrel fish, which reminded us of a sweet-and-sour whole fish. Super crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and served with a bright, tart sauce that had just the right kick. Really flavorful and satisfying.

They do offer a seafood boil here, which we didn’t get this time, but it looked and smelled amazing at nearby tables—something we’d come back for.

The glass noodles with crab, however, didn’t quite match the rest. The noodles were soft and infused with mushroom flavor, which was a bit overpowering, and the crab itself didn’t add much—barely any meat and not a ton of impact. Just OK.

Ambience is minimal but clean. Not a lot of frills, but it works. Service was alright—not rude, but a bit inattentive. We had to follow up on rice we ordered with the fish, which took a while to arrive.

All in all, a strong 4 stars. A few misses, but the crab roe dishes and that sweet & sour-style fish are worth coming for....

This restaurant is a new addition to the plaza, and we were curious to try it out. The owners also run Wu's Fish House next door, and they share the same kitchen. We ordered crab roe soup dumpling buns and crab roe tofu over rice. While waiting, we were given appetizers: peanuts, pickled radishes, and marinated cloud ears, with the latter standing out the most.

After a lengthy wait, I asked about our order, and the waitress apologized, explaining they had limited cooks. We finally received the crab roe tofu over rice, which my husband and I shared. The flavor was delicious, but the mushy rice was disappointing. It was also puzzling that our appetizers were served after our main entree.

We waited a while, sipping on $3 tea, before the waitress brought out the soup dumplings. The dumplings were very good, with on-point flavor. I recommend not using the fish sauce, as it disrupts the delicate taste. The skin was thicker than expected, but the dumplings were still sublime.

Although the restaurant offers more than just crab roe dishes, we focused on these for our first visit. We were quite happy with our selections. Here are our ratings: Crab roe soup buns: 4/5 stars Crab roe tofu over rice: 4/5 stars Service: 3.5/5 stars Atmosphere: 3.5/5 stars Overall, we give this place 4/5 stars and plan to revisit to try...
