Cookin' Crab

I loved this place. They literally have soo many things that it was almost hard to choose but it was exactly what we were looking for. I went with my Fiancée. I ordered the Pad Thai and she got the combination Pho. We also ordered Crab Puffs (Crab Rangoons) and Cajun Fries as appetizers and they were all delicious. It was so much food and definitely affordable. We had a lot left over for dinner. It came out pretty quick since there wasn't a lot of people there during lunch time on the weekend. They had TVs up playing the games and some themed decor. This is definitely a place we plan to come back to whenever we're back in town!

Looking for a quick lunch option around the North Justice Center. Based on the name Cookin' crab, I didn't think that it was a Vietnamese restaurant, but was excited when I saw that they had Pho on the menu - perfect for a cold rainy day!Service was friendly and quick and I got the filet mignon pho upon the waiter's recommendation. The meat was tender and pho was cooked perfectly. The only negative is that the broth was a little too salty. I still enjoyed it overall and think it was well worth the $15!

We met our family friends for New Year's eve dinner last night. It was a cold, foggy night, we all just wanted to be warm and have comforting food the cold evening. Everyone was pretty hungry, our kids were hangry lol so it was imperative we got food right away. Our friends didn't know what to order but my bff ordered the small Rare steak Pho, we ordered the 2 Large rare steak Pho and baby girl and her friend ordered the Teriyaki chicken plate and my bff's husband ordered the shrimp stir fried noodles which he really enjoyed. The pho was perfectly hot, delicious and inviting lol. They give a good portion too, I couldn't finish it all but it hit the spot perfectly. The kids had fun playing lol they are really friendly here, little slow but they were sort of busy so it's ok. They are always kind here and some nice family moved for us so we could all fit at a table, thank you so much so nice of them. I forgot to get a photo of everyone's meals cause everyone was hungry lol. Thank you always for our delicious meal and friendly service with a smile. Have a beautiful day and Happy New Year 2025. :) share kindness to everyoneAloha

I was at jury duty at the Fullerton courthouse and we went on lunch break. This shopping center was the closest food to the courthouse so I walked over. I saw so many options but cooking crab and pho jumped out at me. So I went inside. I was greeted by friendly staff and clean dining area. A lot of people were eating shrimp by the lb, but I really wanted Vietnamese food so I opted for the vermicelli bbq pork bowl and some spring rolls. Everything was fresh and fast. You can tell the owner cooks the food with pride here. Several TVs played sports and news channels so you can stay up to date on your favorite subjects. I kept coming back for more so now I eat here 2-3 times week. Look at the pics of the delicious food.

The food, service and ambiance is amazing. The service is always welcoming and accommodating. Their fried rice is delicious with crispy bits. The cajun mix is so good.

We went in & ordered to go. We asked for the brisket & well done flank pho, crispy calamari, & beef salad. We had a good amount of white rice at home so we needed some meat & veggies to go with it! The place is kinda divey, w/ seafood nets on the wall, but they also have TVs up, playing sports & even the movie 'The Proposal' was playing. The 2 men serving that night weren't all smiles & warm greetings, but they definitely were fast & efficient! We got our order in pretty good time. I wouldn't order the calamari again - it was full of onions & was a bit too salty for me. The pho was good; the broth was flavorful. We probably liked the beef salad the most. Even though it had a lot of onions, the bell peppers balanced it out & the beef was cooked well - it was slightly blushing but not overly red.

I have been going to this spot for a couple years now and it never fails. The food is delicious and the service is amazing. The place has an under the sea vibe but it's nice quiet and chill vibe nothing crazy with really loud music. It's also In a nice location with plenty of parking. We always get the shrimp it's delicious and highly recommend it

Great food, good place for a easy lunch. Wear the bibs tho, very messy. Spring rolls really hot the spot

Came back with a group of 13 and had the same staff! A patient and kind woman who really made sure we were ok the whole time. Took a while for most of us to get water, nearly finished my Pho before getting some water. Garlic noodles were BOMB and fries are the BEST. when you buy 2lbs of shrimp you half a half lb for free !! Our waitress was very kind letting us know that deal

Good food and service! Been ordering their combo and it's definitely worth it! Will definitely come back!
