The Plan
Super Bowl Sunday usually means crowds, long waits, and noisy restaurants. My friend and I actually wanted the opposite — somewhere Boiling Crab-style where we could sit down, talk, and eat comfortably without screaming across the table. We checked Yelp and found this place with a lot of solid reviews, so we decided to come try it.

Location & Parking
Located in the plaza on the south west corner of San Bernardino rd and Vincent Ave. We arrived around 6:30 PM and immediately noticed the plaza felt… almost frozen in time. The center is pretty quiet now, with only about 3–4 businesses still operating. Kind of sad to see, honestly.
The upside?
Easy parking. The lot only had a few cars and we parked right in front.
When we walked in, the restaurant was empty. Surprisingly, I didn’t mind at all — it was Super Bowl Sunday and I was actually happy to have a peaceful dinner environment instead of a chaotic one.

What We Ordered
• Lemon Pepper Wings
• Cajun Fries
• 1 lb Snow Crab
• 1 lb Clams
• 1 lb Shrimp (mixed seasonings)
Food Thoughts
• Wings were a solid starter and came out fresh
• Cajun fries were flavorful and good for snacking while chatting
• Snow crab hit the seafood craving nicely
• Clams came out a little cold unfortunately
• Shrimp seasoning could’ve soaked in more — flavor was there but not fully blended
Overall: not perfect, but still satisfying and definitely scratched the seafood boil craving.

Service
This is actually where the place stood out.
The son greeted us right away when we sat down, and later the father came over and talked with us for a bit. Very family-run atmosphere — you can tell they care about the customers and appreciate people coming in.

Why I’m Posting This
They opened in 2019 and survived COVID while most businesses in that plaza shut down. Small restaurants like this are honestly hard to keep alive, especially seafood boil spots with high food costs.
Sometimes reviews aren’t just about finding the trendiest place — it’s also about supporting people putting in real work.

Overall
A quiet, comfortable seafood boil spot with friendly service and a family vibe. Not a flawless meal, but a place with heart. If you want a calmer alternative to the big name crab spots and don’t want a 1–2 hour wait, this is worth trying.
Supporting small businesses.
Drive by here often and never had noticed this spot, it is really hidden it’s located deep in a shopping center, hard to see from the main street. Until I was looking through Google and Yelp looking for a better place than stinkin crawfish and the boiling crab.
Glad we made the decision to hit this place up. Let’s start with the food which I must say on point! We ordered 2lbs of snow clusters, 2lbs of shrimp, 4 potatoes, 2 orders corn, 2 orders of garlic bread, 4 orders of white rice and 4 drinks.
Everything was cooked to perfection and the food, homemade food yes! The seasoning best around, we have been to a few spots that are way overpriced and overrated like stinkin crawfish and boiling crab where food, quality and flavor meh…well they have nothing on this spot.
The food, quality and flavor here are on a next level. The prices here are super reasonable compare to other places like half of the price. The owner I think his name is Nam came by our table to introduce himself and to check if everything was OK and made sure the food was what we expected which was a hard YES!
The place was super clean, from tables to chairs and floor clean spot. The only takeaway we have is that we did not get offered any gloves or bibs which should automatically come with the service especially for places like these. Overall the service was great, very polite owner and server super friendly, definitely will be returning!
If you’re in the area do stop by! He gets his seafood fresh multiple times a week and uses a fusion of Cajun and Vietnamese flavors for the food.
Ive been wanting to try a “Seafood Boil”
And I decided to try this place
To my surprise it was AWESOME
Me and my husband got the “All Seafood” which was like $45 or $50
The spices we chose were garlic and butter and medium spice
Its worth the money we spent here which was like $75
Including drinks which were $3 each
And 1 Fried Zucchini, which was $8.99
Will DEFINITELY be coming back SOON!!! Food is SUPER YUMMYY ♥️♥️♥️
DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
(If those are all legit reviews). I’m not one to post reviews unless it’s over the top service or really bad so…
After placing our order and waiting for our meals my son and wife saw a large rat run from under one of the tables to under a freezer near the kitchen. My son immediately informed the waiter who then went to the kitchen to inform the owner. We should have just got up and left at that point but felt bad doing so with all the food nearly being done. Right after the food got to the table the owner came out to talk with us, we asked about getting our bill comped but he said he could only do 10% off and assured us the kitchen area was rat free and he came in due to all the current rain lately. WHAT? A rat anywhere in a restaurant is UNEXCEPTABLE! and sorry, but if they are in the dining area they are in the kitchen or have been. Soon after that the rat then darted from under that freezer to under our table and disappeared somewhere. Not wanting to cause a scene, which looking back we should have but we asked for the bill and left throwing all the food away. After getting home I looked through past reviews and found one from about three years ago from a customer seeing a rat on his way to the restroom. The owner replied to him also saying the rat must of come in due to all the rain and that it will be taken care of asap. I will be calling my credit card company to do a charge back for such a poor response to a very serious health violation.
At least our daughter in law will never forget her 25th birthday.
