Question Suggestions for Crab Restaurants in OC

Hi ya’ll

I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for a good seafood/crab place.. gonna be meeting up with some friends in oc … and they love their crab… I thought about the Chinese/vietnamese restaurants in oc, but in thinking somewhere like Joe’s crab shack – but A LOT better … any suggestions are welcomed!! Thanks again!!!

Well, there's Khoury's in Long Beach.

On Saturday nights, they have an all-you-can-eat Lobster buffet (yeah, all the big 2.5 lb lobsters you can eat!) for $40pp.

And one of my personal faves is The Fish Market at the Irvine Spectrum. Make sure you get a bowl of NE clam chowder. YUMMY!!!

There is a place in Rosemead that I havent been in but I always see it when I drive on Valley Blvd. Its called Crabulous. Perhaps someone can give me some feedback on this.

Considering the weather has warmed up a bit and if you want the outdoor experience, I like Port O'Call in San Pedro

Their Sunday Brunch is good, but no all-you-can-eat whole lobsters. They have crab and shrimp though...

It's about an hour away, but I love the buffet at Pechanga. Friday and Saturday nights, they got all you can eat crab legs... and these are GIANT sized. If you can eat a lot of crab, it's a great deal at around $24 a person.

Thank you for all of the replies..

Yes we actually ate at Crab Cooker before.. it was good!! We might go there if theres no other place..

Yes my friend is a HUGE fan of the buffet at Pechanga.. shes always raving about how big their crab legs are..

Unfortunately, we can only go during the week so the weekend ayce has to wait for a later date, but it will be noted.

but please.. continue...
