| - I was first introduced to the Asian version of a low country boil at Hot n Juicy. H n J was originally started here in Vegas, but I decided to try The Boiling Crab based on their Yelp reviews. I was very pleased, but I likely would have been happy at H n J's too. If you like seafood, beer, and don't mind getting messy then it's hard to go wrong.
The restaurant is just a few miles from the Strip, but to a visitor this is a totally different view of Vegas. The restaurant is located in it's own busy "strip", an aging strip mall. The center is anchored by a grocery store and non-descript shops that you might find in any city. We may have been the only out-of-state customers who ventured over to this section of town. The clientele was primarily Asian and Hispanic.
We had a great experience. I ordered shrimp, snow crab legs, corn, and potatoes in the Whole Sha-bang sauce and medium heat. The seafood was cooked just right and the seasoning was great. I thought the seasoning was a bit saltier and less buttery than H n J's. I missed out on ordering a bowl of rice, but that would have been perfect for extending the amazing Sha-bang. Service was excellent. The wait staff were all young people, and they were polite and friendly.
