The Boiling Crab - Honolulu

The service was excellent, and they offer parking validation for those using the garage. We ordered the snow crab combo with the whole sha-bang. It was enjoyable, but it became quite salty rather quickly.

I suggest giving this place a pass unless you're looking for just three small snow crab legs, a handful of shrimp (still in the shell), and some mussels and clams. There's no flexibility with the menu, but if you're a fan of butter, you'll find plenty of it here. The staff wasn't particularly friendly or accommodating when it came to menu options. None of us – including myself and my two 18-year-old companions – will be coming back.

The food was delicious, but I wasn't quite sure who my server was. It felt like multiple people came to my table to assist me. I’m not sure if that was intentional, though! Haha!

I enjoyed the mild cajun taste of the mussles and the corn. To make an order may be a little tricky so an explanation of the menu is recommended. Before your food arrives, the server helps you wear your bib which is a cute act. Food is good but if this place becomes busy, they will want to make you in a hurry for them to give your table to the next party. Servers will keep coming to your table asking if you need anything else, if you need a box, they even give your bill ahead although you still want to make interesting conversations with your group. This place is huge, they even have tables upstairs but I guess they want to keep the guests on the ground floor. So even when we still wanted to socialize, we decided to leave and looked for somewhere else to mingle. Parking is not a problem. There is a validated parking facility and lots of street parking also. Restrooms have code provided by the respective restaurants.

Great boil and fast great service. The food was just right and made the way you want it.
