The Ace Crab

the food was great, fried okra was the perfect combination of actual okra and batter (not too bready). we got the aces house sauce and moderate spice but i think that was a little spicier. def getting mild next time. waitress was nice and i like how how there was a sink outside and inside of the bathroom.

Ace Crab is great! We brought a big group celebrating several birthdays and they were wonderful making it a lovely occasion for us! Food was fantastic of course , and I appreciated our server talking us down on the spice level

Stopped in here with some friends. It's has limited seating but we were seated right away. Our server got us up to speed on the special for the month, which was to order either the ACE combo or the Tsunami and got a free drink and appetizer. We opted for two SSK combos to share and added extra sausage and garlic bread. For myself, I ordered the clam chowder. The clam chowder was tasty and had real clams in their shells in it. The SSK boils came out super hot. They were delicious! The flavor was perfect! We decided on the moderate spice with the ace flavor. The seafood boils were missing the potatoes but once we let them know, they got them right out to us and were super apologetic. I'd definitely come back here again!

Delicious, simple and straight forward service. We did an order pickup and it was quick.

Food is so good. The combo for 2 is alot of food. Easily feeds 3 or 4. Great Soju drink choices. Reasonably priced. Great atmosphere with friendly staff.

This place is so goooood. I usually get the crawfish and shrimp only with garlic butter and their garlic butter is bombbb! They're on the cheap side too and their fries and calamari are SO AMAZING! The sauce is super flavorful and I like how they give lots of sauce in your bag. Most other places don't give a lot of sauce, and Ace Crab gave lots of chunky garlic in my bag too. I brought my friend here and it was her first experience of a crab boil and she loved it. She's been raving about it ever since and her favs are now crab boils with a big group of ppl. Service was amazeballs. Drink refills were given attentively and our waitress was super friendly and amazing :) Shout out to the crew who gave us an epic crab boil experience!

We just started back to work and needed to do our annual lunch away from work...LOL! The place we went to was closed and Marky Mark suggested here. I had never been so cool! New spot! We don't have to drive far anymore! I just let them do the ordering.We had fresh oysters on the half shell...soooo good! We also ordered some tasty waffle fries. We then dove into an Ace combo bag. Great seasoning and sausage...corn a little overcooked, nice potatoes and delicious mussels, clams, shrimp, crawfish, king crab, and snow crab. We also got a whole dungeness crab....sooooo good!Beer was nice and cold. Fun place to come to! The service was friendly and courteous, but the best thing was running into a former student from my first year teaching. It had been a long time since I've seen her, but I recognized her voice. I now look forward to coming back since I'm now connected! Great chill vibe and it's nice to relax and eat with friends.

Everything was amazing. Lovely service! Strongly recommend! Great spot for family and friends get-together!

Amazing service, amazing sauce and better prices I really recommend this place if you craving boiled seafood and pho. Shout out to Betty and company, you guys make my day once a month. Thank you for your community service, keep the crab coming This has become my favorite boiling crab restaurant in San Diego, and I've been to all the boiling crab locations around La Mesa/Lemon Grove, even up there on the coast on Point Loma.I also love that we can come with our dogs after going for a walk, the patio has heater at night which is so comfortable and convenient. Recommended 100%

This is a tiny hole in the wall that used to be a "just ok" pho shop. They still sell pho. I wasn't expecting much. But the seafood was really good. We started with fried shrimp because they were running a promo. A+! We also got a boil with crab, shrimp, mussels, and clams (not a fan of crawfish). All the shellfish tasted fresh However The clams were a bit sandy. The veggies were good but sausage could have been sliced a little thicker to be juicier. Everyone in our party of 4 enjoyed the food. Service was fast and accommodating. They just need to work on the ambience, the clams, and the wine list and it'll be 5 stars.
