The Boiling Crab

First time at the Torrance Boiling Crab. We usually hit up the Euclid location but we were in Pedro and Shrimp came to mind. Overall it's good. I'll still go back our spot. The service was not the same. It was busy. But it's always busy at the Boiling Crab . We were done with our food by the time they checked on us for refills. We always get the triple xxx on an order and people share. But I think we go because of the burn. So not all bad. I forgot the Niners were playing, huge tvs to watch the game.

Came to Boiling Crab right at 5 PM and there was no wait, which was such a nice surprise. The staff was friendly, the vibe was fun, and the food came out fast. The seafood was fresh, the seasoning was perfect, and the whole experience was super satisfying. Great spot for a casual, delicious seafood feast — will definitely be back!

I decided to treat myself and ordered the king crab legs, shrimp, corn, rice, and a couple margaritas. Spent about $200, and the food was definitely on point when it came to flavor. The crab legs were meaty, and the spice level was just right—nice and bold the way I like it. The shrimp, though, wasn’t really for me. I had one shrimp, but I can’t do shrimp that isn’t cleaned properly. Ended up taking it home, deshelling, and cleaning it myself and making another dish Next time, I’ll probably try something else off the menu instead. The margaritas? You can skip those. Way too weak for the price. Next round I might just bring my own “fast-pour” shot on the low and fix that problem myself (don’t tell nobody). Overall, pricey but solid seafood if you’re craving a good crab fix.

This was my first visit to The Boiling Crab, and I’m so glad I went! I arrived around 5pm on a Tuesday and was seated right away. My server, Justin, was fantastic! Justin was friendly, patient, and super helpful in explaining the menu and answering all my questions. I ordered a seafood bag for two and went all in: Dungeness crab, lobster, shrimp, corn, sausage, and potatoes with the Medium spice 'Extra Juicy' Shabang sauce (incredible!). I also added Cajun onion rings and a Michelada, which had the perfect spicy kick. The food came out even faster than the 10–15 minute estimate. This place isn’t just about the delicious food, it’s an experience. The table is lined with butcher paper, everyone gets a bib and hand wipes, and you eat with your hands (no cutlery, just seafood tools). Once t

OK, this location really stepped their game up because at first honey this was not it. I’m sorry I’m just being honest. I used to always frequent the boiling crab in Garden Grove. So when I found out they were opening Torrance I was so excited the first time we went we didn’t have a good experience and it was not given Garden Grove but recently we went over the weekend and maybe they have stepped their game up. It was on point. They do have a waitlist that’s usually open so before you head over if you stay fairly close, I would definitely recommend getting on that waitlist.
