King Crab House — Restaurant in North Richland Hills

Highly Disappointing for such a Highly Rated Place.

Background: First off, I came to Dallas/Fort Worth for a vacation with my family to get away from our normal schedule for about a week. Once we arrived at our destination, naturally we wanted to try some new food spots. Since this place was so highly rated, we decided that we would plan a date night here. Now, let's get to the actual review.

Location/Service: Besides being surrounded by construction, the King Crab House is pretty ducked off sitting in between a hotel and a lot of trees. Once we parked, we were greeted at the door, and quickly sat down. As we began to order, our server was pretty attentive and got our food to us quickly. Overall, the service was excellent and the highlight of our visit to this restaurant. However, the food left much to be desired as you will soon find out below.

Food: Now to the food. We ended up ordering 3 things from here: an egg roll basket, the number 1 under triple your loving, and the fried fish platter. Let me just say this THE FOOD WAS TRASH. As a Florida Native and a foodie, both myself and my significant other were extremely appalled that this was actually considered seafood. Getting into the actual items, the egg roll basket tasted like it had been freezer burned and deep fried. Nothing was fresh about it. The "seafood boil" was waaaaaaayyyy too sweet. The only thing that's supposed to be sweet is the corn. However, the crab leg, shrimp, and potatoes we all saturated in the same sauce so it took away from the actual taste of the food. Lastly, the fried fish in the platter tasted like it was fresh out the freezer and waaayyy too fishy. Like caught fresh from the ocean fishy. If I could give this place zero stars on the food I would and I'm usually pretty lenient with these reviews.

Overall, if you're gonna market this place as a seafood spot; at least make the seafood the right way. We were so disappointed that we ended up going to a dessert spot to get the taste out of our mouths. Such a disappointment and a waste...

An absolute gem for seafood lovers! We indulged in their delectable snow crab paired with succulent shrimp, along with the green mussels drenched in a heavenly buttered garlic and lemon pepper house sauce. Each bite was a burst of fresh, oceanic flavors that left us craving for more.

The cajun rice, a perfect accompaniment, was a delightful medley of seafood and meat, infused with robust spices that tantalized our taste buds. This flavorful dish complemented the seafood perfectly, creating a harmonious balance of flavors on our plates.

To complement the meal, I savored a refreshing Long Island Iced Tea, while the divine macarons with vanilla ice cream provided the perfect sweet finale. Everything was simply fantastic!

What truly elevated our experience was the warm hospitality. Mr. Jimmy, the owner, greeted us with a welcoming smile and genuine kindness, making us feel right at home. Our server Greg, along with Tin, ensured seamless service, anticipating our needs and attending to us with utmost care.

This seafood haven is an absolute must-visit for anyone seeking an unforgettable culinary adventure. Kudos to the talented team for delivering an outstanding dining experience! We will surely come back soon and try...

Went with my husband for a date night dinner on a Wednesday evening. We were one of only four tables of guests. Not sure if it is always that slow or if they’re being impacted by the construction on the road…the entire street has been in flux for quite a while now.

We ordered crab legs and shrimp, sausage and potatoes, with their house seasoning. Love that you’re able to pick the level of heat (my husband doesn’t do well with spicy food but I love it!) and everything was very flavorful.

We ordered the shrimp cocktail as an appetizer, that was probably the only part of our meal I was not impressed with as it was a bit pricey for about 6 shrimp and cocktail sauce.

We paid extra to have the heads off the shrimp in our meal (I’m not a fan of my food looking back at me when I’m eating) and they missed that step in our first order so we alerted the waiter and they quickly got our order fixed. Everything was very good and our waiter was attentive. We will likely return next time we have...
