“Make a cow happy. Eat seafood”

This location has numerous flat-screen TVs, and customers can write graffiti on the walls!

Be prepared to wait longer than two hours before being seated.

The Boiling Crab established their KTown location at the Brown Derby Plaza in January 2011.

Known for fusing Viet culinary touches to traditional Louisiana seafood boils, the restaurant chain was founded in 2004 by Sinh Nguyen and Dada Ngo, a Vietnamese husband-and-wife team, in Garden Grove’s Little Saigon.
