A lot of crab boil places use seafood that's clearly been through a long cycle of freezing and thawing. The crab/shrimp/fish here is incredibly fresh and delicious. I ate the biggest king crab leg I've ever seen here, and for that I am so, so grateful.

This is a hidden gem. Every time we go to this place we get the same excellent experience. CONSISTENTCY! key for a business to succeed. Sauce is excellent, very savory. Seafood is always on point. Place looks like it had a past life, but is good for me. Either way, you don't come here for the looks, but for the food. We always get cajun fries and the Shrimp Crab package. Recommend this place 100%. I have been to other shrimp boils, especially in LA and nothing compares to this one. Also if you don't find parking spots on the property you can always park on the street or there is a parking structure in the back that lets you park for free for 3 hours.

First time here. Was skeptical because it's a big restaurant and it was pretty empty for a Friday night. There was some issues with the bathroom (wouldn't flush my first time in there and then I realized door couldn't be shut closed unless you slammed it in place on my second time) Place is Asian owned so I knew the seafood should be good. We ordered a pound of shrimp with the head for $15/lb. We also added in 2 sausage links ($4/ each!) 2 corns ($2/ each!) Potatoes ( I think was $3 for 3 small pieces?) and 2 servings of rice which is an astounding $4/ each (about 12 oz of rice) 1 clam chowder for $8! The food all came out within 10 min of ordering so it was quick and HOT! Needless to say, the food was yummy and delicious! I just docked a star because added sides are pretty pricey. Our total bill was $50 and we didn't order any drinks. The added sides and rice cost way more than the shrimp! Oh and their medium full house sauce is pretty spicy so next time I'm just ordering mild or the owner told us to get mild-medium so that there's still a little spice but not as spicy as medium. I'll be back Star Crab!

This place is AMAZING! Looks can be deceiving but trust me it's worth it. I highly recommend this hidden gem in Ventura! We had the snow crab, shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes with the House Sauce. Sooooo good!

Food and service here was amazing at about 5:30 in the afternoon. Our Blue Star bucket was delicious and everything you could want in a shellfish indulgence. Highly recommend for anyone just wanting to get their hands dirty. Bonus is baskins robbins is nextdoor for a post-dinner dessert.

Casual vibes. You are there to eat a bag of yummy seafood, after all! We recommend the Crazy spice level if you enjoy spicy and also tasting your food. Mild had a little kick. The crawfish was good, but they're like little lobsters and just hard to break open. Bib and gloves were supplied, and needed! Wheelchair accessibility: Disabled parking right next to the door.
