this came highly recommended on tiktok when searching up food to eat in saigon! i was absolutely dying to eat the milk crabs and rice, and it did not disappoint! the prices however, were pretty pricey but i would say almost worth it. just be prepared to break your wallet here.
i got the squid in thai sauce, combo 1 seafood boil (shrimp, crawfish, potato, corn, and sausage), and their signature seafood fried rice, ramen stir fried in garlic butter, and 2 milk crabs. the squid in thai sauce were a perfect appetizer, and favors were on point. the seafood boil sauce was so good, i should have done a higher spice level however! the stir fried ramen was okay at best, lacks a lot of flavor but is pretty good if you mix it with the seafood boil sauce! however, it was given to us for free if we wrote a review! the signature crab shack seafood fried rice was pretty good as well, again lacks some flavor but if you put the seafood boil sauce in and mix, makes everything taste so much better! and the milk crabs were divine, the flavors and richness were to die for! however it is quite misleading thinking the dish size automatically came with three crabs, but it is priced by the crab at market price. which i will say is kinda pricy, but is as expected.
the portion sizes are not exactly made to do family style in a large group of people ( i had about six people in my group ). i would most definitely come back for the milk crabs and a higher spice level on the seafood boil.
i do highly recommend this place as a good seafood spot! in total we spent over 3mil ~ $160 USD, a bit pricy given the portion sizes, but would come again!
