“ Amazing customer service and food is a bonus highly recommend - go get you some good eats ”
“ Soooo sooo Filip-ping good! This place has a Filipino flare where the seafood boil is so different from all the others I've been to. Different flavors such as the salted egg had a good mellow eggy flavor mashed inside. I don't care about the extra high cholesterol count between all that butter and egg yolk because it tastes so dang delicious. The place was simply decorated with the usual seafood decor. It is where the Walmart shopping area is. Don't think it is in the best location for this type of food but would like to see this place branch out to other areas around town since coming at dinner time was pretty quiet here with about 2 tables sat there and we were 1 of them. It's probably a good thing this place is far from me and hard to get to because if it was closer, I would go more and clog up my arteries and gain a ton of weight! Haha! Service was good and was attentive. Wished the spice level was much higher like I asked for but the flavors were all there so I didn't get all crabby about it and just ate my Yummy Crab! ”
“ The food is always good. The garlic butter sauce is one of the best in town. We always order the Manila Special, it's the perfect combination. It has all of my favorite seafood. The lemon pepper sauce is also very good not too salty and perfectly seasoned. We like it with clams. It's a small place and it's very cozy. Dulce is our favorite server she is the best. Always nice and accommodating. Try this unassuming seafood place. You won't be disappointed. ”
“ Love this family-owned place.... Been coming here quite often. On my previous visits, I've had seafood with their Salted Egg sauce and another time with their Padrigar sauce. Both were so good with the seafood being perfectly cooked. This week, I had their steak and fries special and their loaded garlic pasta... Bothe dishes were so good. The steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The fries were crunchy and really flavorful. The loaded garlic pasta had shrimp, egg, and crushed chicharon flakes. It was really good. Wanted seconds on both. Also had a dozen raw oysters which tasted so fresh... Prices are very reasonable and staff very friendly. As they say, the best food is usually found at family-owned places. I will definitely return !!!! ”
“ Went here with Friends and Family for lunch and the place was amazing, the atmosphere felt real great. We were greeted by a very friendly staff. The owner was above and beyond with service. Let me tell you this, if you're looking for a tasty and succulent seafood boil I highly recommend this place. My taste buds were having a party while eating. The flavors are fantastic, portions were ample. I highly recommend the salted egg wings and the laguna special. Will definitely come back and eat here over and over again. ”
“ Amazing food here! Seafood boil with some twist of Filipino flavors. The only place in Las Vegas that serve Salted Egg flavor and is a must try! I usually opt to go to Hot N Juicy whenever I'm in Vegas but I personally feel like the original sauce here is better. Good service and clean place to eat. Highly recommended!!! ”
“ Our party of 3 came in for dinner around 6pm on a Tuesday. We were the only customers. We ordered the Aklan special, an order of fried shrimp and an order of calamari. So... the calamari looked like fried onion rings. For whatever reason, the order only came with the ring part. The shrimp basket came with fries, and our waitress suggested the Cajun fries (other options were sweet potato fries and regular fries). I didn't understand or know that the Cajun fries were an extra charge. The Cajun fries were spicier than I thought lol and I don't do well with spice. I'm sad to say that I was still hungry after sharing this with my 2 other friends. I think this order would be good for 2 adults. You have the option of 3 sauces out of 6 and various spice levels. We chose the house sauce (mild), garlic butter, and aloha (has a sweet hint). The place provides gloves, a bib, and tools for the crab legs. They offered a few beers, and they have a stage for karaoke via YouTube. There's a huge parking lot shared by multiple businesses. Service was fine since we were the only party. A handful of people came by for takeout orders. ”
“ Hubby & I came here for dinner & loved it! We got shrimp, mussels, sausage & snow crab legs! Got it spicy & it was the perfect amount of spice! I loved the sauce! The service was great & the food was amazing & very well priced! I feel like some of these places over charge for what you get but nope not here! Amazing sauces, great food & service! Can't wait to go back & try some more items on their menu!!! Highly recommend!!! ”
“ If you're craving a seafood boil on the east side of town and don't want to break your bank, then look no further and come check out the yummy crab. This is a new woman-owned restaurant that opened just a few months ago. Plenty of free parking since it shares a plaza with Walmart and other businesses. Ambiance is casual and clean with ocean/beach themed decor, people's signatures and other writings on the wall, and a mini stage for performing. Apparently they have karaoke here on some nights. A single restroom each for men and women. Music playing is mostly today's pop hits. Service is awesome, the waitress was friendly and greeted/seated us right away and asked if we had any questions about the menu. Food came out super quick too after ordering. For the appetizer, we got raw oysters. They looked like blue points, big and meaty and comes with lemon slices and a side of cocktail sauce, and Tabasco upon request. A half dozen is only $12 which is cheaper compared to places like hot n juicy and the boiling crab. For the main course, my friend and I split the Manila special which includes: 1 lobster tail, 1 snow crab cluster, 1/2 pound of shrimp, 1/2 pound of crawfish, 2 potatoes, 2 corns, and 1 hard boiled egg. All of this for $56, talk about a deal! Most other seafood boils I've been to rarely have specials that include both lobster and crab so I was pleasantly surprised. We even had some leftovers to take home because it was so much food. For the sauce, we were recommended the salted egg sauce which is filipino style. We got it mild and it paired perfectly with all our seafood. It was so savory and umami without being overly salty. Found myself scooping some to pour over my white rice. Love that the rice is unlimited and $2.50 per person. I also got a side of their special sauce and got it spicy, this is a blend of some of their other sauces. Overall, the seafood was super fresh, meaty, and juicy. Even though this is further out from where I live, their prices can't be beat compared to all the other seafood boils in town, and would be totally worth the drive. Can't wait to come back here and bring more friends! ”
