It's not cheap. MP for a live crab was $29/lb. The crabs were about 2 pounds. I ordered a pitcher of Modelo $17. They automatically add 15% tip. My lunch was $95 with tax and tip. It's worth coming here versus the outdoor Seafood market on the other side of the pier. The other place was so crowded with long lines. All the tables were filled. Someone has to find a spot and reserve it while the rest of your party orders the food. I remember the days my family used to take us kids here for crab. My Filipino parents and relatives would bring a rice cooker and their vinegar. Both places sell rice for $2. I like the Crab House because there were no lines. The views of the beach were spectacular. I...
My family and I have been going to Pacific Fish for centuries (lol) but we decided to try Crab House today. I was pleasantly surprised.
Pros: They have a lot more variety of food on their menu, including Cajun, Hawaiian garlic shrimp, fried whole fish, clam chowder, corn on the cob, etc. There was no crazy wait, the dining room was large and spacious. The ajumas were thoughtful and brought out the fries quickly knowing it was for my hungry toddler. Like a true Korean restaurant, they also provided us with some service. The crab was $29.99 per pound and each crab was about 2 pounds. It tasted great, just like at Pacific Fish.
Cons: We didn't get to try their sashimi or their spicy fish sou...
I gave this restaurant 4 stars mainly because of its location. It is situated right at the heart of Redondo Beach Pier. I have known of this restaurant for over 30 years and it has always been in this spot. The view of the beach and beach-goers from your seat is amazing. The food was tasty, albeit a bit expensive, but the location makes it worth it. The crab is always market price, so it may vary each time you visit. This is my favorite dish as it is low in calories and comes with a wooden hammer for cracking it open. The service was excellent, with our server checking in frequently and refilling our water. If you are in the mood for steamed crab, a beautiful view, and a good time, I highly...
Redondo Beach Crab House is owned and operated by Koreans, and they have been in business for the last 20 years. Many of the reviews here complain about the service, which is fair, but I personally had a great experience with the lady running the place when I walked in. She was a bit stand-offish like any Asian mom, but warm nonetheless. She gave our table free garlic bread and definitely plugged it with the crab legs. We ordered a two pound live crab and a pound of snow crab legs; I highly recommend the live crab as it lives up to hype and it's what they are known for. The total came out to around $140 including tip. It was a bit pricier than what I am used to, but it's in a tourist area an...

The restaurant is located by the beach, providing a great view. However, the food was pricey and average at best. My family and I spent $181 on our meal before tip and tax. The soups were okay but can be better found elsewhere. We decided against ordering crab legs due to the high cost. The appetizers and main dishes we did order were mediocre. The steamed baby octopus was probably the best dish, but it's hard to go wrong with steamed octopus. The Cajun seafood was too salty and greasy, the shrimp were overcooked, and some of the clams were lacking meat. The clam chowder tasted canned and lacked clam flavor. The calamari was also disappointing, with only a few pieces served with fries and co...
Our go-to spot for Korean spicy seafood soup. There is a nice variety of seafood inside: two types of shrimp, crab, squid, baby octopus, clams and mussels...as well as udon noodle, veggies and tofu. Side of rice and kimchi completes the dish, big enough for 2-3 to share. My son likes the kalbi short rib plate that is served with French fries, rice and coleslaw. Beautiful view of the ocean so grab a window-side table. Service is fine. Not friendly but not rude either. You simply order and pay for your food at the counter when you enter and they will bring them over when ready. Parking at the pier parking structure can be busy on weekends so try getting here by noon.
This place is so scrumptious and the seafood is fresh fresh!! They fish out the seafood out of the tanks in front of your eyes and the food comes out really quick. It's a bit pricy though, the crab is $60/pound and each crab is about 2lbs. The fish soup is really yummy too and has a lot of flavor. The restaurant is right next to the water too, so you get to enjoy a nice view with your meal. Service is quick and friendly.
How is this place not 5 stars?! Fairly priced seafood and great tasting! The seafood boil was honestly better tasting and more worth it than boiling crab. And you don't need to wait like an hour! Also, the restaurant is connected to the snack bar next door so if someone in your group isn't feeling seafood, they can order nachos or something. Great food, great view, no wait!

I fee likely cheated by business owner. no show me ounce of scale sitting beyond cash counter, kitchen worker grabbing crab plus water splashed into plastic container on sitting scale. I requested drain water out of plastic box either can't access to see weight of crab pounds.
It's in Redondo Beach pier. Great ocean view, but the food quality is not pretty great
