| - My mother in law was looking for a place to eat. We just came from the airport, so we came to this side of town to explore our options.
California Crab is where we stumbled upon. Its a cajun joint owned by the previous store owners, turned restaurant. California crab, it even has a filipino buffet inside. So yup, cajun style seafood AND an option for Filipino buffet. They split the restaurant with those that eat buffet, and those that eat cajun.
Today we did both. My mother in law had the buffet and my other half split a sisig burrito. I am not reviewing for their seafood. We did come in pretty early, so their options at the buffet looked nice and fresh. My MIL said that their pansit and pinakbet were tasty.
Sisig burrito sounded a whole lot better than it tasted. It got served with fries. It was a pretty big portion, so I did get full off of half of it. It was sisig, garlic rice, and egg wrapped in a tortilla. Something I would spruce up with left overs, haha. It wasn't anything out of this world in that style, but I still would like to try their sizzling platter and other things on the menu too.
Our server was friendly, but for not having anyone else in the restaurant, he sounded a bit flustered when we were requesting for certain things. Hot tea, came out warm, not hot, I don't think the hot pot boiled the water long enough.
As other previous yelpers stated, its a fairly new restaurant. I will probably come back to give other things a try, and until I get the wow factor is when I will change my rating. I do hope they perfect their business. It has potential.
