Any boiling crab is great. Im from los angeles and i do see some differences between the boiling crab there and here..
1. in LA, you will wait a minimum of 1 hour to get a seat, i didn't wait at all for a seat here. that was refreshing
2. the sauce tastes different here then in does in la (the whole shebang)
3. they do not have muscles here, just clams..
The boiling crab is an amazing restaurant if you want that Vietnamese/cajun infusion of seafood..
get ready to get messy, everything is eaten by hand, there are no utensils.. ladies put your rings and jewelry away.. expect to have a mess when your done.. your hands will also smell like seafood for the rest of the day.. some people choose to wear gloves.. not a bad idea..
try it, you wont be disappointed
