First time at the Torrance Boiling Crab. We usually hit up the Euclid location but we were in Pedro and Shrimp came to mind. Overall it’s good. I’ll still go back our spot. The service was not the same. It was busy. But it’s always busy at the Boiling Crab . We were done with our food by the time they checked on us for refills. We always get the triple xxx on an order and people share. But I think we go because of the burn. So not all bad. I forgot the Niners were playing, huge tvs to watch the game.

Came to Boiling Crab right at 5 PM and there was no wait, which was such a nice surprise. The staff was friendly, the vibe was fun, and the food came out fast. The seafood was fresh, the seasoning was perfect, and the whole experience was super satisfying. Great spot for a casual, delicious seafood feast — will definitely be back!

I decided to treat myself and ordered the king crab legs, shrimp, corn, rice, and a couple margaritas. Spent about $200, and the food was definitely on point when it came to flavor. The crab legs were meaty, and the spice level was just right—nice and bold the way I like it.
The shrimp, though, wasn’t really for me. I had one shrimp, but I can’t do shrimp that isn’t cleaned properly. Ended up taking it home, deshelling, and cleaning it myself and making another dish
Next time, I’ll probably try something else off the menu instead.
The margaritas? You can skip those. Way too weak for the price. Next round I might just bring my own “fast-pour” shot on the low and fix that problem myself (don’t tell nobody).
Overall, pricey but solid seafood if you’re craving a good crab fix.

This was my first visit to The Boiling Crab, and I’m so glad I went! I arrived around 5pm on a Tuesday and was seated right away. My server, Justin, was fantastic! Justin was friendly, patient, and super helpful in explaining the menu and answering all my questions.
I ordered a seafood bag for two and went all in: Dungeness crab, lobster, shrimp, corn, sausage, and potatoes with the Medium spice ‘Extra Juicy’ Shabang sauce (incredible!). I also added Cajun onion rings and a Michelada, which had the perfect spicy kick. The food came out even faster than the 10–15 minute estimate.
This place isn’t just about the delicious food, it’s an experience. The table is lined with butcher paper, everyone gets a bib and hand wipes, and you eat with your hands (no cutlery, just seafood tools). Once the bag hit the table, we dumped it out and dove in, etiquette aside! We were stuffed before we could even finish.
Highly recommend for seafood lovers looking for flavor, fun, and great service.

This place gets packed especially Friday through Sunday. The sea food boils are good and well seasoned . The service is excellent. Be mindful of how much you’re ordering because we over ordered and had a ton of food . I suggest start small and just order more if you’re still hungry after your first order. As you’ll see on the pic it was just two of us and you see what’s on the table. Of course a doggy bag was needed afterwards.

Deliciousness in all your senses! Spicy, tangy, crunchy, buttery all over hand and face good!! Definitely recommend the She Bang spice as it was Bangin…Casual fun service delivered promptly. The music in background was R&B and hit smooth and with presence to match the vibe and food! Prepare to wait a bit as there are no reservations, but worth your wait!

Came here on a SUPER busy Sunday evening had to wait about an 1.5 hours for food but this place is absolutely worth the wait! Once we got our table the staff was super friendly and shout out to our waitress Lindsey! She was phenomenal being our waitress (party of 6). Will definitely come back to this location again! Hopefully we can get Lindsey has a waitress again!

This is my go-to spot for seafood boil because the shrimp were perfectly succulent and bouncy, the king crab had a lot of meat, and the fries are cooked to perfection! Our server Natalie was very kind and helped us with getting our order right because we may have bounced around some different things
The seafood come in separate bags (like shrimp in ome bag, crab in the other), and it’s up to you to add toppings like corncob, which I highly recommend because it’s so sweet.
Also, dont sleep on those crabber fries! Original was perfectly crunchy and the toppings they added were so good.

The best Louisiana seafood boil in town! Get your hands dirty with the delicious seafood and slurp the gravy out of every finger!
The only downside is they don’t take reservations which cause the super long queue and waiting time. If there is a good reservation system, customers may not need to wait 2 hours for a table.
