Very wonderful service & delicious! Seasoning on everything was just the right amount, nothing too crazy overpowering or bland. Only thing is their portion size per dish might only be enough for about four so we had to double on some orders bc it wasn't enough for a table of 7.

Restaurant and service were pretty good. Came here on a Friday night with a large group. Made reservations ahead of time and was seated promptly. Since there were 10 of us we ordered 5 of the prix fixe dinners which came with salad spring rolls and garlic noodles. Crab and other dishes were good and flavorful. My favorite place to go for this is still Thanh Long but this restaurant offers a good deal for couples. Parking in the area can be challenging depending on when you arrive.

I went to this restaurant because my friend wanted seafood. We ordered the 2 person special for $98. It came with a whole roasted garlic crab, garlic noodles, spring rolls and a salad. Just right for a couple of hungry diners.

I recommend coming here on a weekday since it wasn’t busy and we basically had the place to ourselves. The service was excellent and the food was absolutely amazing. We chose the set menu for two and thought the portions were generous. If you get the chance, grab a table by the window so you can enjoy some people watching while you eat.

Delicious crab! Also, highly recommend garlic noodles, crab fried rice and crab soup dumplings. These dumplings are full of juicy broth and have a great flavor. Hot sake was a great addition to our meal, too. This is definitely a place to visit for some fresh, flavorful crab.

I don’t think this place gets enough love. We got the 2 person crab set for $98. Came out with this salad with duck I think and egg rolls. Garlic noodles went well with the crab. Crab is excellent.

My mom was craving Chinese style food during our visit to the city, and since she loves crab and seafood, we decided to try Golden Crab House. They’re one of the few Asian restaurants open until 9 PM, which worked perfectly for our late dinner plans. We arrived around 8:20 PM, and the staff was kind enough to seat us without hesitation, even though they were nearing closing time. They didn’t rush us at all and allowed us to enjoy our meal while they started cleaning up. Their thoughtful and relaxed approach was really appreciated. They had a $98 special for two that included a whole crab, garlic noodles, egg rolls, and salad—such a great deal, especially compared to other crab spots in the city, which can be pretty expensive. We’ve been to a few, and this one definitely offered good value for what we got. We added green beans to our order which was delicious. We ordered the peppercorn crab, which was tasty, though a bit salty on the outside—as expected with a salt and pepper dish—but the crab meat itself was delicious. Next time, we’ll probably try the garlic butter version to compare. The only minor disappointment was the tea; it was a big pot with just one teabag, so the flavor was a bit weak, but not a dealbreaker. Parking in the area isn’t great, especially at night, so we chose to Uber across town, which worked out fine but took 25 mins from Potrero Hill. There was no wait when we arrived, but since it was a Tuesday night, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a wait earlier in the evening or on weekends. Overall, I’d definitely recommend Golden Crab House. Unassuming, casual family vibe. It doesn’t get as much attention as some of the trendier spots, but we’ll be back for sure.
