THE BOILING CRAB SAN JOSE REVIEWS

The food was delicious as usual. We got the shrimp, crab fries, chicken wings, and beer. Everything was hot and flavorful. The reason this place gets a 5 all around is because I forgot my purse there and the staff had it locked up for me. Thank you so much.

This particular Boiling Crab has the best flavor and fast service. The crab fries are essential along with the shrimp and Cajun fries. I always get "the whole shebang" flavor because the garlic and spices that settles at the bottom are the best thing to pour over some fries. I literally scoop it out and take it home in sauce containers.

I absolutely love the Boiling Crab! The food is delicious, great variety of seafood, all areas of the restaurant are always clean, and the customer service is fantastic! I cannot recommend the The Plant location enough.

KING'S FISH HOUSE REVIEWS

We came here to celebrate our friends birthday. We were seated party of 10. We were sitting in a booth in front of the bar. We were served water after seating. We ordered our food and no more than 5-8 minutes our food came out. The oysters were sweet and juicy. We ordered the Pacific Yellowtail and Tuna poke with fish and chips. The wontons were crispy and the poke was refreshing. The fish and chips did not disappoint as they were giant and juicy! Would come here again! Great service and amazing experience! Thanks!.

This is my go to place every time I visit San Jose. Great food, drinks, vibes. They have a full service bar, indoor/outdoor seating, booths, tables. Fresh fish, shellfish, sushi, oysters, live lobsters, crabs. A big menu with various items for all walks of life. Come early and hungry for the best service and seating, bring your wallet and appetite for an incredible meal!.

The crab was so fresh and amazing. This was the best crab I've eaten besides the ones I caught myself. The drinks were top notch and the service was great.

THE KICKIN' CRAB REVIEWS

We ordered combo #1 and the coconut sea snails. In the combo we had clams, crawfish, and shrimp, and shrimp definitely won!! The corns and the sausages are so good!! The soup in coconut sea snail is sweet and coconuty - Thai ish. The take out only takes 10 minutes to be ready.

The food tasted great, and the experience was amazing. We ordered the Kickin' Combo Deal #3, and it was a good amount of food for 4 people. The staff were very friendly. Make sure to try the michelada.

Food was good. Came out hot and fast. Downside is that they have no ac in the restaurant. It was 97 outside and felt warm inside also. Overall it was pretty good.
