King Ocean Crab — Restaurant in Lansing

Great place!!!

We are traveling and chose this spot for dinner. It was five-ish (early) plenty of seating available. We were greeted immediately when we walked in and showing to a booth. Our waitress was super helpful and asked if it was our first time there, which we said yes, so she proceeded to review the menu in great detail. One side is all of their boils, which is basically different pieces of seafood in a bag along with Corn on the cob and potatoes. And then you pick your type of sauce which we chose garlic butter, and then you pick your spiciness level. There were plenty of options to choose from and she was very careful to point out that using the combinations or specials down the side of the menu really helped save money based on what you wanted to eat.

The flipside of the menu is mostly sushi and appetizers. So we opted to go with a couple of sushi rolls, easy ones, California rolls and shrimp tempura roll and we chose the boil bag for $29 that had crab, muscles, shrimp, two corn cobs and two potatoes. It was more than enough food for both of us and we enjoyed it immensely. We did the simple garlic butter sauce with a medium spice level and it was perfect.

We had a bib as things can get messy when you are pulling the crab out, what wipes to clean up and it was a perfect meal.

The only disappointment is she explained that their liquor license had expired, so we had to settle for ice tea. Apparently they are getting that fixed! They have quite an ice bar so I imagine this is a bit painful for them.

If we lived in the area we would be here quite often I can imagine! Prices were very reasonable, for all of the above we paid...

Had no idea that this place existed and I am so happy we found it with a random Google search. I love Cajun seafood places and my wife and daughter love sushi, and this place was on point for me and my family. We didn't order drinks so I can't speak on that but everyone I saw come out looked amazing. We will be back for those alone one day. I had the low country boil. Typically I am a bit sad as I want more shrimp or sausage, not this one. It was loaded! I actually wish I had just one more potato haha. Luckily I also ordered the Cajun fried rice, which was also phenomenal, and it helped offset that 2nd potato I wanted 😆. I wasn't the biggest fan of the corn but it was on par with other places. Everything in this was cooked and prepped perfectly, especially the shrimp. My wife and daughter had 3 different sushi rolls, and my wife couldn't stop eating my Cajun fried rice! I tried a piece of the jalapeño crunch one and it was probably my favorite sushi bite I've had. It's not crazy spicy, just great jalapeño flavor. My daughter said her California roll was the best she had ( i didn't try this) and the other roll my wife had, a yummy yummy something or other, said it was one of the best she had. Overall fantastic meal and great service from Roland. He was nice, attentive and made sure everything was right. We had a big dinner tonight and plenty of leftovers for all of us to have lunch tomorrow and the bill was $80 (we just had waters) . Hard to beat. We didn't have to go this fancy. They have ~$15 sandwiches that...

This place was good, not great.

We ordered two appetizers; calamari & hush puppies, the puppies were decent, good flavor. The calamari tasted like something you’d get from a box in the freezer section, was rubbery and bland tasting..

Also ordered a seafood broil w a lobster tail, snow crab and shrimp in Cajun seasoning and garlic butter. Lobster tail was a good size and had lots of flavor, crab and shrimp were bland but tasted good dipped in the sauce from the bag! Corn was good, we also ordered sausage + boiled eggs - both great!!

The sushi roll we ordered, crunchy jalapeño was full of flavor and the perfect size.

Atmospheres- outside was not too pretty And upon entry to the foyer area, it was dirty and uninviting. Once you walk into the actual restaurant, the atmosphere and mood change and it’s a little better / kind of cute / neat with water boxes on walls.

The service was not great. After being sat, we did not get a server for about 5-7 minutes. My husband ordered a Moscow Mule, which Had no alcohol at all, He sent it back and got a Sapporo instead.

Our appetizers arrived with our food, the server did not come back one time to ask us if we wanted refills or how our food tasted. I had to walk up to the counter to get a box and our bill. I would say she needs some...
