Wow The Crab

Environment: Very nice, clean, and I love the decorations. Staff: very friendly and you can chat with most of them in Cantonese or Mandarin. When we asked questions about the menu they were helpful and informative. Food: we ordered a lobster roll to try them out first. The lobster roll was $18 which was a bit pricey for a lunch BUT, they give you a lot of lobster meat. It was a hearty amount. I liked how it was slightly covered with a light sauce that was delicious and refreshing! I also really liked the fries. They were fried nicely and I liked the crunchy crispy texture on the outside. I would come back to try this place again since I've never had seafood boil before. They also have asian dishes too which was unexpected!

Cute spot, but pretty small for a seafood boil place, but was able to get seated right away. The boil was alright. The clams and mussels were good, but the shrimp was def on the smaller side. We got a side of sausage added and it came with 3 small pieces, definitely not worth getting an add on. We got Cajun spicy, flavor was okay, it was definitely missing something. But will say it was spicy! Garlic fries did not have any garlic on it. Pretty disappointing.

Definitely room for improvement since they just opened. We got garlic noodles. Ok. On the dry sideWings. Cajun seasoning had a 5 spice taste to it. So eh. Thai flavor hot pot, mystery pot. 0/10 it needs major work. We didn't even eat it and not picture worthy either. Bland. We didn't even want to take it home to make it better. Seafood boil flavor was 7/10 Cajun Medium, Service was ok. They should double check their orders when coming out, we witnessed a table next us have their orders messed up. And didn't come back around for a while for us. So we had to tell another waiter we were missing items.

Probably one of the freshest seafood cajun place in the Portland metro area. The place is cozy and there may be a wait time during dinner rush hour. I initially ordered a mild Cajun spice but figured the sauce doesn't have a kick to it as expected. Asked for more sauce and the flavor hits just right. Staff is friendly and happy to accommodate. I especially enjoyed there were few sinks available at the restaurants to wash hands after meal.

We both ordered the mystery pot. One with miso and ramen, the other with Kim chee and udon. Waiting for the egg to cook, after the soup started to boil, made us both hungrier! The trick was to add a little air pocket using our chopsticks. My husband's egg never cooked so he dug it out. Both soups were very tasty and overall we thought the pots were a good lunch!

I ordered the supreme pot with udon and miso broth. It was so delicious, I loved the hot bubbling pot. The seafood inside was fresh, the udon was soft, and the broth was hearty. Not a bad price for what you get either!

I've finally come to the realization that lobster rolls are overrated. That said, WtC offers a worthy version at a fair portion and price. For those who complain about the latter you'd be hard pressed to find it for less in the Northwest. This isn't Maine, and there is no budget lobster. Fries come with the rolls, but unfortunatly they're topped with a spice which seems to be the trend. The buttered roll is quite good.Pro tip: you might be tempted to go for variety by ordering both the lobster and crab roll, but know the taste is very similar when eaten side-by-side.I'm not a fan of cardboard boxes when eating outside on the premises.Bethany continues to raise the bar, this is a great addition to the other offerings in the area. The young owner was friendly and set up outside seating for us.

New seafood boil spot in town! We got the snow crab and shrimp with Cajun seasoning. The flavors were good, very garlicky and well seasoned. I wished the flavors seeped through to the seafood more. It kind of just sits there, but it was still good so 4/5 stars. Service was decent, but hopefully will see improvements as they had just opened.

This place is a must try for those who like seafood boils! Located in the new area of Bethany village. It is a smaller place, but definitely did not disappoint! For starters we got calamari and it was very tasty and definitely recommend! I also got the peach tea as a drink and it was so refreshing. For the main course we got the super feast combo. Good size, can feed about 2-3 people. Their menu had many other options and foods and I will definitely be back to try more!

Final rating is a 4.5 primarily due to price and value. Prices are comparable to other Cajun crab/crab boil type places but slightly higher in some aspects. Consider this a crab boil place that is Asian influenced. Food: 5/5Service: 5/5Ambiance 4/5We ordered the "Wow the Combo C", garlic noodle, garlic bread, spicy creamy udon, and an extra lb of peeled shrimp. I thought the Cajun sauce here was very good. Better than boiling crab and other crab places I've been. Enough to pack the leftover seasoning home so I could use that in other dishes. Definitely get the peeled shrimp imo. It's worth the extra cost. Mixed with the Cajun sauce, the peeled shrimp is really solid. Enough to make our group get more.The garlic noodle was a solid aldente and had good garlic flavor. One of the better ones I've had in the Portland area. The portion of the noodles is in a smaller bowl. The spicy creamy udon was spot on with flavor and noodle texture. Definitely recommend this dish. The restaurant is Chinese canto run so while they may not be as attentive in refilling waters (especially because you can tell they are pretty busy at new opening), just raise your hand and get their attention and they will serve right away. Would come back again!
