Crab Island & Sushi — Restaurant in Lake Elsinore

The best way to describe this place is, you get the bare minimum of what you pay for, take it or leave it.

Starting off positive, the seasoning is great and the people are nice. This is why I gave it 2 stars. Without that, it would have been 1 star.

I got the crab boil and it was barely that. No eggs, one corn and the crab legs were pretty small. There wasn't much liquid seasoning (I don't know what you call that...the sauce?) which is usually one of the highlights of a boil. When they say you pay for the 6 pieces of sausage you really do pay for it. You know how most seafood boils give you chunks of sausage? Well, not here. Here, they take a spicey kielbasa that you get from the supermarket and cut 6 extremely thin slices of the kielbasa and sell it to you. Basically, if you do the math, by doing this they make a nice profit off of one kielbasa link that you get from the super market. I ain't mad at the hustle but just know what you're getting.

Now, I did just go here once and got the cheapest boil so MAYBE that's it, I don't know. I am going to try again and pay more and maybe I'll see a difference. I'll do an update.

I suggest that you only go here if you have a quick craving for crabs and you don't care that you're not going to get much or the best quality.

UPDATE** So, I went back today and paid twice the money this time and the food was 2x worse! I couldn't finish the food, it was disgusting. I tried seasoning it myself just so it could be edible as there was no seasoning this time, just a bunch of garlic dumped in a bag with very little butter.

The slithers of sausage (kielbasa) tasted like it was about to turn and had a strange taste. I didn't want to risk getting sick so I threw that in the garbage as well.

My boyfriend and I went here earlier today and got the combo 1 with shrimp mussels clams potatoes corn and eggs. The eggs were cold in the inside, the shrimp mussels and clams were lacking in any seasoning and tasted very plain. While we were eating the mussels, we kept biting on something hard. The whole combo was lukewarm except for the potato’s. We were trying to be nice with the gentleman that gave us the meal but all he kept offering us was some free corn and then just walked away after we politely said no lol. We waited around 10 minutes for someone to assist us but no one else came so we went up to the counter and told the lady and she told us sorry but they can’t give us any refund because the manager wasn’t there. We only ate around 5 bites of the seafood. We left paying the bill which was almost $100. Will not be back again! I recommend Alaska Crab, Cajun Trap or...

Food is good. However, customer service isn’t. You expect your food to be ready at time said to pick up. I went a few times on time and had to wait an extra 20 mins from my original pickup time. Last time I went, I went a few mins after my pickup time, the lady with glasses and short hair gave me such a nasty attitude. Today, I was on my way to pick up, a few mins after my pickup time. She called me, obviously I was driving so I didn’t answer. I get another call and text. I get there and she’s already giving me a nasty look, she tells me, “you’re late, i called you two times” i tell her i was driving and that they have made me wait multiple times even after my pickup time. she says “food taste better fresh” uhm okay? i shouldn’t have to wait an extra 20-30 mins after the time you give me that it will be done. she needs to be taught some respect and better...
