King Crab House — Restaurant in New York

Pros Amazing food! I would go as far to say it was the best authentic food I’ve ever tasted Waitress was nice

Cons Didn’t feel welcomed there. As soon as we arrived the hosts didn’t even smile and refused to sit me and my guest at another table when requested. Despite this we stayed to eat.

We asked for wine and the host said they do not sell alcohol but when another family of the same racial and ethnic group as the host walked in they were greeted with big smiles and given a choice of several wine options. Interesting…

Me and my guest ordered the most expensive item on the menu. We ordered the whole king crab, shrimp fried rice, and bok Choy. We also wanted a lobster and the waiter talked us out of it. My concern is why are you telling us no when we are saying this is what we want? Is it because of how me and my guest look? Did she think we were getting out of our budget? These people do not realize that I could have been a millionaire or billionaire. No one should ever “assume” what someone can and cannot afford. Would hate to have to buy that restaurant. You never know! So we didn’t get the lobster 🦞 unfortunately because we wanted that too.

When they brought out our food it was placed in a way that nothing could be reached without us getting up. Interestingly enough when a family of the same racial and ethnic background received their food they gave them a table food spinner so they did not have to reach over and get up to get their food. We spent over $500 and that is the treatment we got. I would never ever again step a foot in a restaurant that wants my money but treats me so poorly. It was obvious they did not want us there. Well although their food was the best because they do not know how to treat paying customers of diverse backgrounds who are not from where they come from with any level of kindness I will not return.

If you want great food I highly recommend this place but if you want to be treated nice and feel welcomed go...

So This Is One Of My Absolute Favorite Seafood Restaurants In Flushing

If Interested They Have Live Fish And Seafood In Tanks Where You Can Choose What You Want 🥰

Restaurant: King Crab House

Address: 135-11 40th Rd, Queens, NY 11354

We Had The Lobster In Ginger, Garlic And Scallion Sauce...Served With White Rice And A Soup

So Right Of The Bat This Is NOT Your Typical Seafood In That Sauce....It's A Lighter Version...This Restaurant Wants You To Actually Taste The Seafood

I Did Ask For It To Be A Bit Spicy And With Extra Ginger, Scallions And My Addition Was A Touch More Oyster Sauce...That's How I Order It Here And They Accommodate Without Issue 🥰

JUST A FYI The Soup Is A Clear Broth That Taste Like Chicken BUT Does Have Pork So If You Don't Consume That Then Make Sure And Let Them Know Your Restrictions

This Dish Is A Solid 8.7-9 Out Of 10

The Place Is Really Beautifully Designed, Clean, Knowledgeable Staff And Delicious Dishes

This Meal Is $20 Plus Tax Which Served Both Of Us And We Were Filled....(About $11 PP)

I Did Notice They Have A Larger Lunch Menu Selection That Is $13.95 I Believe

After The Meal We Walked Around And Grabbed A Bunch Of Fresh Fruit....Mangoes, Tangerines And Lychee

All Good Stuff And Really Reasonable....

Definitely Worth A Visit If In The...

This is my go-to place to grab some fresh delicious seafood in Flushing. The prices are reasonable, the place is always clean and the staff is friendly, attentive, and courteous. This restaurant has a few private rooms to accommodate large groups. Some of my favorite dishes are geoduck. Half is stir fry and the other half is served over ice sashimi style. another dish I love is lobster with ginger and scallion. This plate has the right amount of ginger the fresh lobster tastes tender. Moreover, I also love the fresh shrimp in soy sauce. Live fresh shrimp taste so much different in a better way than frozen shrimp. I also like beef with black bean sauce. However, I have to order this dish with the sauce on the side because of my baby ( see picture of the beef without the sauce and the sauce). finally, I love the live fresh king crab. It's a must-try. They serve it to you in two ways. half one style and the other half another style. after eating fresh king crab you will never want to eat frozen crab again in your life. Considering what you would pay per pound for frozen king crab at Costco, this restaurant's price per pound for live king crab is beyond reasonable. They do not have parking but the restaurant is next to a parking garage that only charges...
