Alaska Crab — Restaurant in Moreno Valley

Finally this place is open for Dine-in and of course i had to go and check it out. The atmosphere is very nice. Decorations just great. There is even a large painting of the historical ship "Cutty Sarc" one of my favorite ships. Oh, and it seems like captain Jack Sparrow is standing in the corner too. But now to the menu, food, service and staff. I absolutely have to point out, which i also think is the strongest feature of this restaurant, is the staff. Super friendly, helpfull and maybe now always the most knowledgeable but they sure know where to find the answer. Tray and Leo were our servers and they were absolutely exceptional. Still new but super friendly and hard working. It's nice to see these young men set such a great example. Manager was also very friendly. So that's for the staff. Now let's move on to the food. I would like to start out with the best, which i though was the shrimp Po-Boy. In compare to other restaurants absolutely scrumptious. Texture, sauce and all were perfect. I highly recommend this item of the menu. Other than that we ordered all across the menu. 2 pounds of shrimp, 2 pounds of clams, 2 pounds of King Crab, two pounds of craw fish. Sides we had sausage (which also was pretty good quality and taste), rice, and potatoes. Everything was pretty decent quality and good tasting. Unfortunately shrimp was from a farm and not from the ocean. I would have excepted frozen shrimp but not from a farm. Too unhealthy, full of antibiotics, steroids and all. Makes no sense eating such garbage for that price and for a place named like this one i except a bit better. If a restaurant charges fresh shrimp prices, please serve such. Shrimp was also very overcooked as you can see in the picture where it shows that shrimp are completely curled up. Which is always an indication of overcooking. Due to being overcooked we could not really peel them. Meat came right off with skin. We informed manager and did make ourselfs clear that we are not asking for a discount but he could have at least thrown in a free or discounted desert. But it's fine. As mentioned before he was very friendly and assured he will let the cook know so that it won't happen to other guests. Which is all i really ask for. And of course farmed shrimp does not taste great as well. At least not in my humble opinion. King Crab was a clean one and tasted good. I definitely would order that again. Our appetizer was raw oysters which tasted good. Due to its bigger size and taste i assumed it was west coast oysters. And after reaching out to kitchen Leo confirmed that. Sauces that came with oysters were ok. Nothing exceptional but still good to eat. And last but not least. The sauces with which seafood came in. We had the non-spicey Cajun sauce which was good but no all that in comparison to other places in town that offer this "order by the pound" foods. I also had a few other seafood Cajun sauces that were a bit better but sauces here are still good to eat. A bit on the salty side but still good. They also have a big bar and very good cocktails and all. So all around I recommend coming here if you don't mind spending $300 for a group of 4. We did have food leftover to take home. Go check it out. They are still new here in town and i am sure our feedback will help them to get better. Overall great experience. Staff and Po-Boy alone make it worth coming here. You won't be disappointed. Please check it out and leave a review so that i can compare...

I had sushi and my company had fish and we shared fried pickles. It all was absolutely just terrific. The service was so on point. We WERE NOT bothered so much that we enjoyed our meal. We were serviced with great care and respect to our request. The atmosphere was perfect. The temperature was perfect, I didn't have to put on my coat which added to the comfortability of dining in. I also took home wings and fries that were also magnificent. The prices are very much perfectly appropriate and appreciated. This is my spot now, dining in or take out. ❤️ #1Ozzie 👑 - He'll treat you like royalty

UPDATE: AUGUST 2025: I had a great experience in May 2025 (above). I ordered delivery because of that but my experience was completely opposite. The fish was over cooked I couldn't eat it. The meat of the fish (red snapper) was really tough like chicken and the outter crust was thick and burnt. I also ordered clam chowder that tasted like I scooped a spoon full of sand. The deluxe rangoon had absolutely no crab inside only cream cheese when the "deluxe" means crab inside. And the worst for last was the bacon wrapped sausage. The bacon was raw on the inside. It was slightly browned on the outside but didn't look right so I unwrapped it and it was pink and white raw bacon inside. I knew that piece had to of been fluke so I unwrapped another...same thing RAW. I unwrapped all the sausages and ALL WERE RAW. Everything I ordered in my delivery was horrific and possibly could have made me sick if I had of eaten any of that bacon wrapped sausage. 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾 For all the money ($70) I paid for this food it was majorly completely disappointing 😞. When I called to tell them, they brushed me off and said call Grunhub for a refund. I did and will never eat here inside...

First time - Great and James was our server Second time - super trash and will not be returning. --Story Time Showed up, no greeting with two guys at the front talking to each other while people were piling at the door. I completed the waitlist entry then they gave my slot away to another group. When I told the hostess who complained, "everyone is standing around doing nothing and it's getting busier." She had the audacity to say, "are you sure that's your name?" As if I wasn't ready to pull my ID as proof then told us we'll be next. Another 3 groups went before us then the excuse was, "Oh i thought yall wanted a booth."

We finally sat down at a lopsided table, Kevin was our Waiter who spoke real low and emotionless that we could barely hear him while music was playing. First thing was, "yall ready to order?" Soon as we sat down. His demeanor was as if it was a long dragging day to be at work. Ima need some extra effort if you want that heavy tip. There is a corner right side opposite of the kitchen the staff hangs out at. The staff would sit there for a few minutes while being on their phones or something distracting as if there aren't tables to be served. My table was 8 feet away and i'm continuously in Kevin's vision of me and his other tables are ready for orders, check out tickets, drink refills, etc. I had to ask for utensils when it should have been obvious we need it for our seafood and rice. To add, our chicken wings were the same flavor when we ordered two different flavors and a few of the drum sticks were still bloody half cooked in the center with the bloody liquid can drip.
