The Cajun Crab — Restaurant in Long Beach

Went on 08/26 my wife and i, we have been here many times. Really great food and perfect seasonings. However today was a REALLY BAD experience. We order King crab legs, and shrimp. They took well over 30min with the order. I was looking for the waitress to flag her down after waiting patiently. When i seen her going to another table and grabbing 2 bags of food and running back to the kitchen with the owner. After 2min. She is coming back to our table with our food. As the waitress pulled out our food from the container she was bringing it in. I asked her if that was the same food she had gotten from the other table she got a bit nervous and she the said no. I then replied i seen you and the owner grabbing it from the other table. She then replies that it was not. She got more nervous. Not only was not as hot as usual but there was crab meat missing.(empty shell). Then she proceeds to say i will go talk to the boss. I said ok. Then i was a bit upset, so then i got up and decided to ask the other table what had happened if they had gotten the wrong food and they said yes. I told them what just happen and they coud not believe. And said who does that!??. So then i went for my wife and went to the front desk and talked to the owner. And she lied and said that she was just being informed of the situation. When I clearly seen her, and the waitress picking up my food the from other table. She offered to make a fresh. I said you could have done that the 1st time when the other customer touched my food before giving it to me. However lying about just finding out was a big NO-NO! For me. I told her i wanted my money back i didn't even want to hear her b's anymore. Be extra...

LEGIT THE BEST SEAFOOD BOIL EVER!!! If you are lucky to be within driving distance of Long Beach, go to this wonderful mom and pop store and support ur local business who serves the MOST FRESH AND TASTY SEAFOOD BOIL EVERRRR

I had $250 seafood boil at NYC Aquaboil and the seafood here is way more fresh and juicy than the expensive NYC crappa.

My biggest gripe with NYC seafood boil was that it was sooooo salty but here the owners really took care to experiment a lot and their sauce is perfection!

They have mild, medium, spicy and I recommend mild for people with no spice tolerance like me and then get medium sauce on the side so u can dip some shrimps and crawfish inside and also spread on rice.

Must gets: combo #1 (shrimp, crawfish and mussels) with extra shrimp and extra crawfish Thai fried rice with chicken Thai tea

Get the house thabong sauce. They really spent a lot of time making that sauce and it’s reallllly goood. I think they should really sell the sauce separately honestly. I would buy it tot take home with me to Baltimore.

Anyways I been going here since I was in middle school and it’s always good EVERY TIME.

Happy to share my favorite seafood boil place with you all 💖💖💖

The tables have turned. I'm sure during Covid, this place went All IN with take out, and the dining room became old school. There is a self serve electronic menu kiosk where you order, pay, tip, and away you go. But this hungry pedestrian wanted to sit and sip a cold Heineken' have some Cajun food. Ordered Pad Thai cause my Asian server recommended (whilst I was looking over the kiosk-menu). So by then, obvious clues confirmed where they're focusing. Long Term symptoms of Covid Culture. Server did just that. Served. And, like most of her customers nowadays, that was the last time she saw me. Any hope of water refill, dashed, a second beer? Ambiance not withstanding, lingering didn't appeal. At least the food was good. I just love sitting in a too dark dining room devoid of fellow diners, eating really good Thai food at a Cajun restaurant served on Styrofoam and tin foil. Plastic fork, roll of paper...
